Any Equinoxfags? How's it going to the most aesthetic gyms out there? I'm going to the Rockefeller Center on round noon if anyone wants to workout.

Woo
How /fit/ were you when you were a teenager /fit/? Were you a landwhale? Skelly? Athletic?
I was a unhealthy skinnyfat.
Pic sorta related I guess.
Athletic. Starting exercising at age 10 with bodyweight and never stopped. Now it's all I've got so I can't stop.
>>36319499
I was fat/skinnyfat. Basically fat but with NO muscles at all. I tried to lose weight a bunch of times but I had no idea what I was doing. I was just told that sugar is bad and that you should exercise but I knew nothing of calories or strength training. Had 10lbs dumbbells and ran some, but couldn't run for shit with my asthma so that didn't really lead anywhere. I even ate no candy, chips or drank any soda for a whole year as a 12 year old, which I think is pretty good willpower for that age age, but...

I was a skelly. 5'9" 130 lbs. Not an extreme one, but still skelly
Total of 14 45 lbs plates (630), but the device is on a hinge. Realistically, what am I lifting?
Also, I look like a fucking goober.
>>36319498
Why do you stand?
That machine is a seated shrug machine, you're supposed to do shrugs while seated
>>36319526
Oh really? Then why does it have two sets of bars, one higher than the other.
>>36319647
One is for manlets.
Hey, /fit/. I've decided that I'm going to try to eat healthier. I've already cut out all soft drinks, but now I need to actually work on what I eat. I put together this meal plan. Is it okay to eat this way, or am I playing myself? (Pic unrelated, but body goals)
Breakfast
>Mashed avocado, olive oil and tomatoes served with an egg on sourdough toast
>Half a small baked potato with cheese on it
>Pineapple, kiwi and papaya slices

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging...

Hi Patrick
>>36319152
>showering before doing half of your exercises
Do you try to be this stupid, or does it come naturally to you?
/Fit/, is it just me, or do you guys also get really fucking pissed off during a cut? Like, my entire day, I was incredibly grumpy and irritable. I almost snapped when a bus was early, causing me to miss it. That's really out of character for me. A few stressful things have happened, but the most significant one is that I started a cut a few days ago.
So, /fit/, do you get really angry over stuff on a cut? Or is it just me acting like a psycho?
>>36318829
I get pissed at shit regardless
>>36318829
You could have IMS (major fluctuations in test levels) or (dunno how old you are) andropause.
>>36320722
Or maybe he is just grumpy because he is hungry?
My gym has this machine. Will I get juicy forearms if I use it @ end of workout?
>>36318682
You fucking idiot, if it works the muscle and you can really target your forearms and feel the burn then obviously it's great.
>>36318695
I haven't used it yet. And I don't know if it's useful for building up forearms, that's why I need confimation
Rope-climbing machine.
Stair-climbing machine.
Door opening machine.
Waffle toaster press machine.
What a time to be alive.
Is this thing about your body not being able to absorb more than 30g protein per 3 hours or something bullshit?
Is there any limit?
Because I usually eat 50g protein meals at least
>>36318666
it absorbs, but less efficiently
there's a thread on r/fitness about this right now, with a link to a scientific article showing that the same amount of protein spread out over longer time interval is more efficient.
>inb4 leddit
>>36318674
So is it finally settled? Because I see some places saying there's no evidence and other people seemed certain for ages that you can't eat more than 30
bro science
Why the fuck would you idiots do steroids when it gives you an ugly ass roid gut?
Related video:

>>36318615
That's HGH gut. Not roids. Idiot.
>>36318624
The video says it's steroid side effect. And there's a guy on steroids showing off his roid gut.
>>36318646
not for roids or growth hormone but why do you think that a shitty youtube video is going to be somewhat informative at all?
I'm 325 lbs, I've tried dieting a few times, was down to 225 at one point, but I gained it all back after meeting my eventual wife.
I really need to lose this shit, I can't live this life anymore. I've read the sticky several times, I understand macronutrients and calorie counting.
I have just a couple questions.
1) I can't afford a gym membership at this time, and half the gyms around here are really sketchy about their pricing plans (such as ONLY 10 BUCKS A MONTH but we have a 90 dollar yearly fee on your third month btw.) I haven't...

Your questions dont matter you fat cunt, just eat less and healthier and lift
>>36318569
lol
just eat less doesn't even have to be healthy you don't even have to exercise I still have the occasional shit food but just cut the bags of chips, lollies, soda have a glass of soda instead of a bottle a bowl of chips instead of a bag I've been eating less and better for 2 months now I've gone from 96kg to 88kg and my diabetes has improved 1000000000 times.
I assume many of you are like me in that the major hobby you have in gym time
This leaves not many places to meet grills outside of work which is a no no.
I want to know if any of you guys have ever approached a girl at the gym as it is obviously a great place to find someone with similar interests.
I don't like clubbing or drinking that often so Id like to have a thread sharing any tips or stories about your success in this area as I hear all the time that girls dont want to be hit on at the gym EVER.
>>36318487
Gym girls are super whores. They're used to being mired by a bunch of different hot guys every day. Even if you get a /fit/ gf she'll still constantly get hit on by other dudes at the gym.
I've never approached a girl in the gym (or anywhere else for that matter lol) but I have witnessed other guys do it a few times and from what I can remember they were successful enough to get the girl's number almost every time. Quite surprising, no? There's my anecdotal evidence.
>>36318510
Were the guys hot af?
I just wouldn't know where to start?
>hey random but you have great form. Are you training for anything in particular?
Y or N?

What does /fit/ think about durianrider?
>>36318331
Anorexic looking faggot. Really nothing else to say about him.
>>36318346
He's slim, sure.
But he's also healthy, happy, in shape, has a wife, a job, his own house, and isn't afraid of angry degenerates like you that can only criticize him anonymously online.
ZERO
hey /fit/
I have an existential question
and you seem like the best equipped board to help
How hard is it to convince a girl to start exercising and eating right? Is it even doable? and where do I start?
So like I matched with this chick on Tinder and we hit it off. She was insanely hot in her pictures but I met up with her she was very chunky. I mean not disgusting but still above my maximum preferred weight
BUT she's cool as fuck. She listens to dope ass music and goes to all kind of festivals and shit. Also, I know she is capable of looking...

You can't force anyone to make changes they have no will to do themselves.
That person will just grow to resent you.
>>36318092
I'm not talking about forcing her I'm just thinking maybe I can ask her to go jogging with me or like go on a couple of day hiking trips
