Is it cardio or strength training? Is it /fit/ approved?
If you're wearing a fucking mask like that, it's neither, it's just being a stupid asshole

It's not SS + GOMAD so GTFO with you pussy movements
My mom has rheumatoid arthritis. She has pain mostly in her back. She's 50 and overweight but not obese. Weightlifting is supposed to strengthen your bones and joints, right? Would it make sense to get her to start lifting? I was thinking that strengthening her body would help her out. I imagine losing weight would be helpful too, I've been trying to teach her calories in calories out for a couple years now.
>>36456895
Losing weight should be her priority. Anything after that needs to be discussed with a health preofessional
>>36456930
How do I convince her to count calories? She just jumps from fad diet to fad diet?
>>36456963
you should convince her to clean her diet up then. It's fucking hard to eat an excess of calories if you're just eating chicken and broccoli.
Sex drive / libido - nofap, or alwaysfap?
I'm 25, in decent shape. So I broke up like two months ago, and my libido is just gone. Haven't had a random boner except a couple in the middle of the night. I wanna get back on the train and take advantage of my singlehood. But I don't really have any drive too. Had some weird premature thing for a second too, but that went away. I ended up naked in bed with a 9/10, getting sucked and it took like 15 minutes to get it up.
Help me fix my dick, fit. I nofapped for two weeks, didn't see a difference....

nofap isn't an auto fix for libido. you might just have a low libido or low T, has nothing to do with your dick's physiology.
now, you could try it and see what happens. my libido is always pretty high whether or not my dick actually works or not.
>>36456872
Do you watch pornography? If you do, then you may have Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction, in which case it will take much longer than 2 weeks to get your drive back. PIED is a result of being addicted to porn, so if you use porn multiple times per week, it could be causing these problems.
Otherwise, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe see a doctor?
There are people on this very board, right fucking now - that cant bench over 2pl8, squat 4 and deadlift 5.
Why you even trying?
Because fitness and health, contrary to popular belief, covers a lot more than just lifting heavy objects and putting them back down
So, OP... just how insecure are you overall?
Any plans on improving your self-esteem so you no longer need to constantly mock others to feel acceptable?

I was thinking of skipping first day at gym.
Cancel my sub.
Probably never go again.
"I look like shit."
"It's not for me."
I decided to go, every part of me did not want to.
I was dead nervous.
I couldn't think of anything but what people there would think of me.
The buff guy at reception holding pen like an illiterate. The qt3.14 in squat rack doing dumbbell deadlifts.
Hiding nervousness, I went straight to stationary bike, started pedalling.
Few minutes later went for bench press.
I pressed 40...

congrats on being able to actually go to the gym
1. At least a 9 out of 10 facial structure, woman might think a 7 or 8 is cuteish but to be truley aroused you need a solid 9 and above
2. Money, the absolute lowest you can make per year to not be considered a boy with a silly job is around 90k, and that is the midwest, If you live on the coasts add about 50 to that
3. Height, must be at least 6 ft 1, do whatever you want to deny this but it is true
4. style, stop dressing like the autists on FA
5 Smile, literal perfect teeth are a must, somehting that can be bought so there is no excuse here
6. skin, must have...

Did you ever think maybe you're just a faggot instead of coming up with a list of reasons why she won't date you?
Please have sex
>>36456553
Your list is stupid, and you are dumb. What women want in men is as variable as the number of women on the planet. You can't make a list of that, it would go on and on and on. You should work on not fucking up your life any more than you already have and forget about women for now, you're not anywhere near ready for that.

Is this 123123x or what? How Kenny says a week are you lifting?
>>36456402
it's 1x2x3xx
>>36456411
It's pretty low frequency for every lift except squat and bench. 1x a week is kinda shit.

Hey /fit/izens. My girl is 170cm high and weighs only 49 kgs. She wants to gain some healthy weight by going to the gym and taking in enough calories. I suggested to her that she should enter the bubble butt mode, if she's already gonna go to the gym. She said ok, now we need a proven and tested weekly routine and meal plan that will result in a nice bubble butt, while still activating the rest of her body. I am very noob at this, so pls no roasting.
genetics 1xF
I've been eating almost exclusively protein, losing fat, and gaining weight. It's amazing.
SS + arms and lats work because t-rex mode is pretty much the goal for a casual female lifter.
In terms of weight loss and overall fitness capability should a person pratice some martial arts (like muay thai or MMA) or just stick to lifting?
And what martial art should a man pratice? Muay thai, MMA, boxe or some oriental sports like karate or judo?
Thanks
Jiu jitsu
Do both. Lift and train MA I mean.
As for what MA to train just for fitness; BJJ and Muay Thai
>>36455351
Just do a sport you like. If you like martial arts, cool.
The key is to find something you like in which you'll be motivated to perform. If you like the activity and want to do it well, you'll be motivated to improve your fitness for the sport, and it will make you look better and feel better.
Good luck, pal.
Why is the bicep such a staple of our culture? Why is this picture considered a measure of your strength and muscularity? The bicep isn't even the best and strongest muscle of the arm - it's the tricep.

I thought quads where the strongest muscle of the arm
Because its the muscle group that normies see most often as it is on display much more because of short sleeves.
/fit, how do you build huge forearms?
>>36455288
Leg excercises
>>36455288
Ever see someone deadlift 500lbs with small forearms? Me neither.
>>36455288
Wrist curls
Military Presses
One-Armed Rows
Pushups
calf raises
Shrugs
Chinups
This is the bulk of my work out. I sometimes add or remove exercises. I do 5 sets for everything, the reps vary from 3 to 15. I do 3 chinups, for now, but I'll do 8 pushups, and 15 calf raises, etc. I go up with reps until I reach 10 comfortably, at which I load up. I only have DB.
Progress has been excellent over the past few weeks: I couldn't do a single pushups a few months ago only, now I can do 8, which hasn't stopped amazing me yet. I couldn't do a...

Only other one I have.
Squats and deadlifts work calves?!

Of course. What do you think you stand on doing these moves?
