For a 20 year old, male adult, what would you consider 'being in shape'? are there any set parameters I should be able to hit? Number of pushups or pull ups, mile time or endurance?
>>36536534
100 pushups
30 pullups
30 weighted dips
100 bench dips
sub 6:30 mile jog/run
ability to do 45+ minutes of cardio with relative ease
these are pretty strict but that's my 'in shape'
>>36536557
A 6:30 mile isn't in shape
200kg deadlift
Two questions:
1. What is objectively the best vegetable in existence?
And 2. HOW do you go about preparing said brussels sprouts?
Probably broccoli
Idk just look up recipes
Season and bake them
I steam them for 10 minutes. About the only thing I use my rice cooker for. I mostly steam all my vegetables and eat them with my meat.

Can a 6''5' bastard like myself, who started out auschwitz mode, ever make it natty? Is there anyone around that height who was in a similar situation?
I mean I still enjoy lifting for its own sake, but it sure helps to think that you'll look nice after a few years, but I'm...

You'll look better in a year if you're consistent and do everything right. You'll look even better in two or three if, again, you're consistent. That guy looks fine, just needs to cut a bit. Only advice I'll give is to make sure you do bicep and triceps work in addition to any basic routine. Small arms suck
>>36535954
I'm 6'5 too but haven't made it yet. I look better though. You can always look better
It will take a bit longer but the end result is much better. I'm the same height as you. You will probe have to be 100kg tho. That guys although strong has focused solely on strength and is pretty high bf.
Ask a vegetarian that has experienced increased performance; strength, stamina, and overall pr increases anything

Why aren't you vegan?
>>36535959
I enjoy the occasional dairy, like yogurt and cottage cheese because I don't find that immoral if harvested properly
You probably ate like shit before going veggie, you shouldn't be surprised being more aware of your meals can really help other areas of your life. I would love to see what would happen if one person only ate fried chicken and another only ate french fries long term.
What is the best routine for someone with no equipment?
>>36535730
Except run it M/T/Th/Fri instead of M/W/F. Throw in 20 minutes of LISS cardio every day, plus 10 minutes of HIIT cardio on off days on a 100-200 calorie bulk with adequate protein and you'll actually make some decent gains.

Is sucralose really safer than aspartame? I've been trying to implement more low-calorie foods into my diet like light yogurt, but there's so much bogus out there on both sides that it's hard to know the truth.
Aspartame isn't bad.
>>36535723
Literally neither is bad for you at the levels you will be ingesting them. All the studies that show small increases in probability of cancer require the g/kg(bw) to be far above what any person would be eating. Honestly, as long as you're not free basing diet coke you shouldn't worry about it.

>Is sucralose really safer than aspartame?
No, it's more chemical shit. For what it's worth if I use it, it makes me ravenously hungry for DAYS afterwards, so I never use it anymore.
Try Stevia, it's natural and has no side effects whatsoever, been used for thousands of years.

>wanting to drink powdered scrotum dust
unflavored whey is absolutely disgusting and i can't have a blender in my dorm room. flavored whey is more convenient
unflavoured anything tastes like ass.

You probably have a shit personality.
Anyone have a daily routine for facial care? Been wanting to do this for a while but i'm uncertain on what exactly to get and what brands are the most effective / cost efficient. My face acne is minimal, and my face is kind of oily. Also interested in hair shampoos, like what shampoos are best and what conditioners I should use and such.
Go to an aesthetician.
That's what my mom is, she has fixed so many high school boys with pizza face. They came to her looking like SHIT, and within two months you couldn't tell they ever had a problem. They'll do treatments on you and they'll set you up with a home regime to do yourself.

Low energy bitch.
>>36534492
Don't lift then you idiot. If you're not motivated enough to sort it out in the long run you'll drop it or slack off.
Brehs, which multi-vitamin do you reccomend for a military bro that doesn't have access to all the food needed for a week balanced diet?

There's some evidence behind it. I just do slightly cooler than body temp. Hot water is bad for your skin
