I'm currently doing this 3 days a week:
>100 pushups
>60 chair dips
>10 minutes of planks and 50 crunchs
>1,5 kilo dumbbels in each hand, 120 times each arm
>50 squats
Also, I'm moderately bulking.
Where am I going?
>>36518811
You're using way too much volume and not enough resistance. Get a backpack, put some heavy shit in it, and start using it. Put it on your back while you do pushups and planks, on your lap during dips, and on your chest when you squat. Also, use it for curls and one-arm rows. Find a place to do pull-ups or inverted rows. Try to do only 3 sets of 6-12 reps to failure.
Do push-ups and dips with more weight. Bulk above maintenance, read the sticky and go the gym.

Can you fitpill me on p90x as a workout routine? I know a lot of you focus on lifting and shit, but has anyone tried this? The dude is annoying as fuck but he's ripped and it seems like a good work out. Ready? FIVE FOUR.... THREE TWO
P90x is actually incredible, best investment I have ever made. I know all the autists on here will go HURR DO SS. But honestly this is better if u don't want to get fat
I'm sure it's nice, but I have less than zero interest in it because I want to actually make progress beyond novice gains.
It's basically a lot of bodyweight stuff with dumbbells on the side.
Makes me vomit, desu

Fatty detected

dude you're my weight and height when I started.
eat 1500 kcals a day, itll clear up in six months or less.
I know soft drinks are the forbidden fruit but would you still drink ginger ale to settle a sore stomach?
I'm out of alka seltzers
>>36518653
have some milk with weight gainer instead
would you drink 40 grams of sugar to settle a sour stomach? no
there isn't actual ginger in ginger ale. it's "natural flavors"
Very very rarely. Generally only if I'm at work (restaurant) so I'm not buying it. I'll boil half a cup and sip on it for a few hours
>>36518612
water and caffeine if cutting
eggs and oats if not
Insulin is good for gains.
Being a faggot about 'insulin spikes' is broscience. Just hit your macros, it doesn't matter where or when.
>>36518703
It's not good if you're cutting. I don't want to be hungry all day.
Anyone else irritable when they're cutting? I'm going from 2000-3000 to 1200-1500 daily (TDEE is ~1800) and talking to anyone can get me mad quick. Anyways to avoid this? Pic related, its me right now
>>36518059
try meditating?
Irritability is a known issue with hunger. Seriously op how do you not know this
>>36518255
Obviously but is there any way to alleviate it other than eating
Let's settle this for good this time: Best exercise to lose body fat?
Overhead Bench
>>36517736
Depression.
The one that burns the most kilojoules while you are doing it, that you will do for the longest, and that will have the most kilojoules burn afterwards.
Just wanted to give some propz to this board. Before an anon from this board helped me out with my hyperlordosis I was 5'10, and now thanks to him (may god bless him) I'm now 6' tall and I'm more confident about myself. I finally don't look like a thick black girl walking. I'm slowly getting more manly. Thanks /fit/, you're a life saver.
>>36517678
what exercises did you do? do you have pics of your back with hyperlordosis?
Whatd you just do warrior stance stretch? Or what

>tfw just got in a car accident and the bitch won't pay
Same boat buddy. I just keep telling myself friends are extra baggage I don't need on hopes I'll believe it some day.
>tfw lost 6 pounds in one week through keto diet
This cut gon be good.
>>36517616
I did keto for one week. I almost passed out at my job. had to get off it
lost 5 lbs tho. shits godly
>>36517636
How much carbs did you intake?
>>36517616
Don't want to burst your bubble, OP, but I hope you're aware that these initial losses are mostly if not all water. The effect of dropping pretty much all carbs on your water management is augmented on a keto cut.
That said, godspeed, one of my best cuts in terms of experience and results was keto and I intend to do one again soon.
So I've been in the gym on and off for about 4 years. I have a pretty quick metabolism, and a long break from the gym / diet was putting me near hungry skeleton mode. A few weeks ago I sat down and made a 180 day fitness and diet plan to put on some weight, build some strength, and look good for summer.
My girlfriend used to be a gym fanatic. She still teaches Zumba once a week at our gym, but other than that she doesn't workout anymore. She's always saying she needs to lose weight, get in better shape, etc.. She claims she wants to get up and go to the...

kill her and eat her flesh for gains
>>36517588
Deal with it like an adult, directly and explicitly address the issue with her
You're being equally passive-aggressive by just complaing about the problem on an image board
She sounds like a lazy cow, who gives a fuck what she thinks
Are assisted pull-ups effective? Mehdi thinks not
>The Assisted Pullup Machine isn’t effective to get stronger at Pullups. It looks like a great idea, it looks the same, but it isn’t. The main problem is that you’re resting on a platform. You don’t have to balance yourself. Less muscles are working as a result – your abs and lower back do nothing. The muscles that do work like your back and arms don’t work as hard because you’re resting on a platform. You don’t get a full stretch. Don’t be surprised if you make zero progress on...

It is, do them slowly.
And do negatives.
>>36517494
Mehdi is a retard. Don't listen to him.
>>36517494
I don't think assisted pullups are too bad. But do them with a band. This would be closer to a real pullup. Also do just negatives if you can't do one.

Tell me about your relationships, friends, and how it affects your lifting
Welcome back you, brah. We're all gonna make it
It doesn't affect my lifting because I'm able to exist as a person independent of someone else
>>36517319
you'll just leave again in your next relationship ;u;
I started doing deadlifts 6 months ago, back then 100kg x 5 reps was my max. Yesterday i manage to pull 160 kg for 5 reps. I set my goal to 200kg x 5 reps by the end of the year. Do you think it is plausible or should i calm my expectations?
>>36517270
If you eat right, yeah it's very plausible. Just remember to give your body the rest it needs.
>>36517270
Unless you're very gifted it probably isn't going to happen, shoot for 180kg x5 instead.
>>36517270
noob gains are unpredictable OP, i started doing deadlifts in july and could only max at 225lb, last week i managed a PR of 405lb. im still putting weights on the bar every week, but my DLs are REALLY starting to take a toll on me. im fucking fried the next day, so im certain my noob gain train is gonna derail pretty soon.
/fit/izens hi. Week 3 of my change in diet and I feel okay. Unrelated to the topic every Friday these faggots I work with bring in 2 dozen doughnuts. For 3 Fridays I haven't even looked at them. So that's good. My shitty coworkers make fun of me for trying to be healthy but I ignore them.
>"hey anon, why no doughnuts anymore?"
>I'm trying to eat better
>shitlord coworker pats my belly
>"you eat well enough already" harharhar
I'm finding it hard to grocery shop though. Compounded by thr fact i can only afford to shop at poor people markets. So if any of you are kind enough to recap on average what you purchase a week and share it with me so I can brainstorm my own ideas from yours, I'd really appreciate it. Bonus points for brands and shit. I realize everyone's dietary plans differ, but I still think it would help me round out my list.

Thank you in advance for all your support and encouragement. I feel like I'm gonna make it.
