Is it possible to lift without obsessing about weight/reps/bodyfat/macros?
I feel like I take lifting way too seriously and I should just lift and eat semi-healthy....
wat do senpai?
try it and report back.
Yeah, i've been lifting for 18 months now and i just go 3-4 times a week and eat wtf i want. I just eat semi-healthy and only count proteins. I'm not jacked by any means but i started at 61 kg and I weigh 76 with 2% les bf now.

yes, only thing you should track is weight reps on compounds
i dont give a shit about all the other things and i look better than 99% of those autists on this board who track everything and count even how heavy their shit is each day

>and count even how heavy their shit is each day
this is actually a good metric for tracking digestive health. Before you talk shit you should maybe try it out you idiot

see thats what i meant, fucking autists spend more time tracking useless shit instead of lifting and wonder why they are dyel mode

Just add weight sleep right and eat healthy

I think it's kind of normal. I find myself reading more about fitness and nutrition than I need to. Just make sure you're hitting the major goals: calories, protein, progression, etc.

Same here sempai. Im sure that as i get more advanced i will have to watch what i eat, but as it stands, im pretty happy with what i have. Would like a beefier chest though
i don't track shit, i just make sure i don't eat refined sugar and satured fats and eat enough protein, and lift everyday on the week
Here are the golden rules in three easy steps.
1) Stick to these: Deadlift, barbell squat, overhead press.
2) Put enough weight on the barbell that you reach the point where you will fail a rep. Could be failure after 3 reps, could be failure after 25. As long as you reach that almost failure point, you're gaining.
3) Eat at least 0.8g of protein per lb of bodyweight a day
That's literally all you have to do to get fit.
