ITT: Physiques that inspire you
So /fit/, is it true that I should only workout for an hour a day at most?
Are times sets (90 seconds to rest) effective or is it all just a meme?
Pic unrelated
Rest times have no significance.
It is only volume-load that effects results. Low reps-high load is good for strength. High reps-low load is good for endurance.
i rest for like 2 minutes between sets i don't think it makes much of a difference except that i can do all my reps

If your workouts take more than 1h30 then you're either overdoing it or are resting too much. 2-3 minutes for hypertrophy and 5 for strength

See how hard you can fap to her fucking other guys because that's what she's doing right now.
Why are half the people on this board complete fags who trigger so easy?
sorry your feel this way
I mean, you're the one who made a thread because you got BTFO, the only one who's triggered is you
>>36547907
Nah I was just wondering what causes it.
The steroids?
Lack of sex?
Lack of friends?
Those are my reasons minus the steroids.
/fit/, after a three month hiatus I will be getting back into the gym starting tomorrow. Any encouraging words/ tips to stay motivated this time?
you wasted time, lost gains and grew weak, your shame should motivate you enough
why do casuals post on /fit ?

>lifting is hard
Dieting is hard, lifting is so fucking easy holy fuck
Does anyone have any advice for getting over gym anxiety?
Hello /fit/ currently losing weight, if the scale is to be trusted I'm at 38%bf and my progress is good so far, but I'm afraid of the aftermath and loose skin and the advice I've seen is not to lose weight too fast so the skin can heal as fast as you are losing weight.
So how fast is too fast ?
I've been cutting on 1500kcal daily and the weight loss progress is good so far, down about 8kg from 130 to 122 but it's too early to visibly judge skin, my TDEE seems to be around 3200kcal according to some calculator online, so base your opinion...

Gotu kola works for stretch marks and tightening the skin
Pic now, as I said in OP down about 8kg
rate of loss has basically no effect on if you will get loose skin.
its like 99% how much you need to lose on % of initial weight.
1% genetics, age, how long you were fat.
I'm not good at this sort of thing and I want to know for TDEE/cutting purposes. Thanks

About 18-20% I think
24-27% srs
>>36547729
I think I'm too fat for that range
>>36547747
This seems more reasonable
If anyone else has any other estimates they are welcome. I'll assume the one most picked is the most accurate
Being fat is totally worth it.
Way better than being an anemic thincuck or a roided, gay liftlet.
While thincucks are out cold for lack of nutrients and liftlets fuck each other in the gym showers, I lay in bed, perfecting my artistic technique, both in the canvas and in the pan, rivaling the likes of Velasquez in "Las Meninas" ,and Robuchon's "Nouvelle cuisine". I have even left some Cheeto stains in my paintings on purpose and people cherish them, all ignorant thincucks/liftlet degenerates, obviously.

agreed

Is Scoob right when he says that for the first month of lifting, I should be lifting almost nothing to build proper form and strengthen tendons?
I'm a bit conflicted with his advice and Rippetoes SS. I'd just like to know where to start in terms of weight.
>>36547436
Here's how l started
>go to gym
>pick up bar
>do a few warm up sets with empty bar
>go up with weights till l hit 1RM
>do this for all exercices
>leave
That's it, if you want proper form simple : keep your back straight you fucking cunt, backwards or forward, both are dangerous.
>>36547436
I don't know
>>36547543
>>36547543
>do this for all exercices
So I should stay with the same weight for all barbell exercises, and slowly add more every workout?
>squats and deadlifts on the same day
>>36547434
Why would l need a pencil to diddy?
>>36547434
That is what I do. I squat and deadlift on the same day twice a week.
I try and alternate which one I start my work outwith, so I can alternate which lift I am fresh for that day.
>>36547475
to write your lifts down
Your girl is pregnant with your child, but she wants to keep weightlifting.
Do you let her?
Yeah, wrapping pregnant women up in cotton wool isn't good for her or the baby.

how much protein are you consuming /fit/?
I'm eating about 105g. I've noticed some gain increase, but haven't really gained weight.
40 scoops a day
>>36547043
I drink about 90 grams of protein a day as long as I worked out that day. The rest is from food I eat. I do not eat very much because I get full so fast. I'm also 5'9 142. I was 135 last month and have put on some quality lean mass. No fat over here. Im also 21 if that matters.
105g? Do you even scoop+chicken?
Fuck man if you're trying to gain weight you wanna aim for double that
My mother was nice enough to buy me some gloves upon hearing that I've begun lifting.
At what point is it appropriate to wear them? Are they meant to prevent callouses?
Anytime and yes.

Your mother thinks you're a faggot
Just chalk up as normal and pretend you appreciate the gift.
