Is it ever acceptable to point out dangerous flaws in a stranger's form?

It was painful watching him and I wanted to let him know what he was doing wrong. I didn't say anything because I didn't know him well, and didn't want to be THAT GUY. Is it better to let people learn the lesson the hard way?
I never say anything. I figure If I make mistakes and learn from them, others can/will too.
Takes a lot of self control not to say something sometimes though. People have pretty atrocious deadlift and squat form.
Depends on the person.
this girl was doing upright rows with the worst form imaginable and I told her to be careful shit will wreck your shoulders.
she kept doing it anyway. havn't seen her in the gym since.
But I helped a guy with his squat form and he thanked me and we've been good buds since. But yeah 98% of the time I just don't give a fuck.

if they are seconds away from buying their ticket to snap city then yes
Hey /fit/...
Can this guy be natty? I've no idea if he claims so or not.

How does /fit/ take their coffee? I used to have 2 coffees, 3 sugars and milk, but that's probably preeeeeeeeetty unhealthy, so I'm starting to try and drink black coffee.
I hope I acquire the taste soon.
>>36442540
>2 coffees
wat
>using stimulants
goof
get enough carbs in and you'll feel energized naturally
>>36442589
Like, two spoonfuls of instant coffee. I don't have a fancy grinder or anything like that, or even a capsule machine.
>>36442599
I usually only have one coffee a day in the morning when I get to work, that's it.
Long shot, are there any /fit/izens living in Geneva, Switzerland? I just moved here and I'm looking for a gym. If anyone could recommend a proper place with the basic freeweight equipment that would be great.
Also general find a gym/gymbro thread for anyone looking.
>>36442378
Swissbro from Vaud here. I can't recommend a gym and I work out at home, but all you need is very basic and can be found almost anywhere I think.
What's your exact goal?
I'm guessing strength. So all you need is the basic barbell material:
>barbell
>weights
>squat rack
>power cage
And that's honestly all.
In the next post, tutorials.
Watch these! Very helpful.

Think of self improvement/lifting as being like treading water in the ocean.
As long as you're doing the bare minimum, you're probably as high up as you can possibly get. If you exert more energy, you'll just tire yourself out and not actually get anywhere from it.
The ONLY time someone actually benefits from lifting is if they lose excess body fat, and as a result they FLOAT UP TO WHERE THEY ALREADY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. However, that's REMOVING A NEGATIVE rather than GAINING A POSITIVE.
The chances are, most of you are already where you...

you forgot the part where some of us actually enjoy exercise, and pushing ourselves as hard as possible makes us feel amazing for the rest of the day.

>being in love with someone you can't trust
If only my gym could open on 9am instead of 10am, that way I wouldn't have to suffer
Every relationship ever m8
Why no trust?
>>36441643
Yeah, not being able to trust the person you love is fairly easy. But there is a fix to it.
What you need to do is to find a knive, a sharp one, and cut open your gf's chest. Don't give her pain meds or any of that shit, she needs to suffer for making you suffer. (you might want to gag her to silence the screams tho). Then rip open her ribcage and cut out her still beating heart. Then cook the heart and eat it. She'll be a part of you forever and you never have to worry about not trusting her.

what happens if you take roids and you dont even lift?
you get more results than people who lift. its why roiders can do retarded routines and still make gains.
>>36441219
no, i mean like, you dont workout at all.
>>36441231
steroids arent a magic potion that give you muscles. you need to at least do pushups or some shit to see any gains. otherwise you just have small balls and roid rage.
Does /fit/ smoke weed? If so, how does it affect your motivation or just you in general?
Nah, that shit puts me to sleep. I drink, do shrooms sometimes and do mdma at festivals and some concerts.
>>36440988
Yup. Seriously, there is nothing better than the feeling of soreness post-workout combined with getting high. Shit, it makes me want to work out just to experience the combo.
>>36441023
Are you me?
But yeah OP, weed does make you a lazy faggot, so just be smart about when you smoke it.
Why do debbydowner faggots say hurrr you will never be like zyzz because genetics. Fuck you cunt i can still take steroids and get shredded
>>36440964
Because his pec inserts are godlike. His ab inserts are godlike. His delt and trap inserts are godlike. His jaw is godlike. His adonis belt is beyond godlike.
His hair is gay as fuck.
Post a picture of yourself anon, even if you're not shredded you can tell at the same weight and bf% you probably won't look like that (assuming same height).
>>36440981
>>36440981
my physique is the same as his before he started bodybuilding (he has a better face)
stop living your life trying to be somebody else cunt
that was literally the only good message zyzz ever put out there
live your own life, be your own person.
How do I make oatmeal that doesn't taste like shit but isn't filled with a bunch of unhealthy stuff?
I guess my real question is - what is your guys' favorite way to eat oatmeal
My go to:
>1 part oats, 1 part water, 1 part whole milk
>spoon of peanut butter
>drizzling of honey
inb4 that's unhealthy
>>36440428
Which oats should I be eating? I have rolled oats, but steel cut looks like they'd go down nicer
how bout a cardio thread
just ran 2 miles outside and then jogged at 8mph on the good ol mill for an hour, what do you guys do for daily cardio or cardio day
>>36439838
I like HIIT, sprints, jump roping, or just playing some basketball
>>36439838
OP here forgot my spidermans (crocodile pushups)
and obligatory pistol squats
>>36439838
If it's nice out and I'm not lifting, I'll do 90 minutes to 2 hours of jogging outside, about 5 mph. Good way to burn off about 1100-1300 calories generally. If the weather sucks or I'm lifting, I do the elliptical at the gym. I tried treadmill for a while, but I just hated it. Had nowhere near the stamina on the treadmill that I do outside, so I'll either do an hour of walking incline (level 10 or so) or just do the elliptical.
Lately I've been trying a bit of HIIT on the...

Is he a troll or real?
I don't care if applying a vegan diet is a good choice or not for fitness but this guy really disturbs me, he could easily become a serial killer. I've seen or also that cops recently paid him a visit but nobody knows why.
>>36439817
>I've seen or also that cops recently paid him a visit but nobody knows why.
It's because the last video he posted before that happened was an Elliot Rogers parody
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_OpDREtluY
>>36439837
this guy might have severe autism
>>36439817
he favors his right arm implying he wacks it a lot. This leads me to believe he is actually vegan
Is milk liquid estrogen?
>>36439800
Soy milk is

Soy milk is liquid plant estrogen, cow's milk is liquid animal estrogen
>>36439800
Estrogen is good for you.
What do you guys have in terms of home gear? Do you guys have any recommendations for a pull-up bar (preferably door mounted)?
>>36439792
I have basic shit at home I think it's good when you don't feel like seeing other people or whatever
>bench
>dumbbells
>leg press
>the ground lmao
>>36440005
All I've got is some dumbells (nice bowflex hand me downs that are the dials that go from 5-52lbs), a jump rope, and a mat. Is a pull up bar necessary?
Also I don't think I can afford a gym.
>>36440023
>"Is a pull up bar necessary?"
not if you dont want to make gainz
>Where are you going booboo bear!?
>Cant you take a day off just this once?
>Sleep in with me!
>You can always go to the gym later!
>>36439788
fuck off gains goblin
