What is /fit/'s opinion on smoking cigarettes but still trying to get athletic.
Does it impede gains drastically? can you work past the side-effects?
I smoked about 20 cigarettes a day when I first started working out, then I stopped going to the gym when I started working on construction sites, I'm in between jobs at the minute and I want to get big but I'm struggling to kick the habit
Any current or ex-smokers who can give a bit of insight?
Any opinions on any recreational substances as well? least calorific alcoholic drinks/cocktails and how to work out the day after a heavy session etc. etc.
Don't want to give up life too much.

Go see a doctor. Yeah you can work through it, but why put all that work in so you can die from the smoking 20 years earlier than you need to. A doctor will give you a plan that will actually work and you need to stick to it. Cigarettes aren't adding anything meaningful to your life: you've only convinced yourself of it due to your addiction.
You can consider the alcohol "empty calories" and leave it at that as long as you're not binging every other day. No point getting ripped...

Weed is amazing, especially if you ain't cutting. Get yourself a desktop vape so you can avoid the guaranteed pneumonia or bronchitis that will come from smoking anything.
Hard liquor combod with benzos is amazing. Just take a small amount of each.
Hydrocodone and oxycodone is fantastic, but may kill the appetite for 6+ hours.
I use everything I've stated. But only on the weekend, and never to a dangerous extent. Start small and know your own body's limit.

>tfw lost 10lbs during January and lost 5lbs so far this month, starting from 210
>tfw I should get down to 160 or so by the end of may
>tfw I'll be shredded by summer
Down about 25 lbs since December. Feels great and I can fit in my pants again. I'm on that perma-cut though *sad feels*
Got another 60 lbs to lose before I start bulking

Hey serious question, Anyone get whoosh's? Like when the scale is stuck for weeka then overnight you lose 5-10 lbs. Why is this happening to me? Is there anyway to make my progress more linear?

Here is mine, it's a second draft of my first self made routine.
Would appreciate some advice on how I can make it better.

I'd experiment with more volume. Definitely for tricep pushdowns, but maybe also with your heavier lifts. Maybe do a 3x5 squat one day, and a 10x3 another?

I know it's extremely hard, harder than any other squat alternative...
But how heavy can you go on front squats?
>>36031961
225 for 5
Also I front squat more than I can back squat. I don't really do back squats because they feel awkward. Zercher squats are one my favorites too.
Current PR is 135kg. 5kg more until I hit 3pl8.
Back squat (HB) is 160
>>36031961
Sounds like someone didn't do their overhead squats today.
Pushed 170 on my last 3x8. AA phase after wasting away to nothing during Army training for the last five months.
Hey /fit!
Do you smoke weed?
I like to smoke before my workout.. it gives me amazing concentration and makes me happy the whole session
>>36031142
yes
I usually smoke after for relaxing, eating fucktons and that anti-inflammatory.
I used to think that smoking before wouldn't affect my workout, but then I realized that I was stoned and probably couldn't tell the difference anyway, so I decided to play it safe and save it for post-workout.

Hello /fit/,
I am so tired of my gym playlist I get demotivated while working out. Need to completely overhaul it.
Any sort of motivational metal, rock, rap, whatever.
So, gym music general I guess.
NO CRITICIZING TASTE. Most people listen to cheesy shit to motivate themselves. Don't hate.
>>36031068
yup

What's some good exercises to make bicep gap less noticeable?
>>36030813
not being a human pharmacy
Jesus christ, are you tall anon?
>>36030813
chin ups stretch the bicep longer
>tfw fell for the gf meme
Don't do it brehs. Literal gains and life goblins, find happiness in yourself and make friends to kill loneliness, gfs are poison.
Sounds like you just have shit taste in women

>those synthol traps
This seems like a silly thing to ridicule.
Why be unnecessarily uncomfortable?
Why not? Just because hurrr its not hardcore and manly?
If you want to be manly badass, why are you using convenient gym equipment like barbells to begin with? Go use construction site steel beams and sandbags for maximum discomfort

wheres the links you massive retard? Commit familicied you waste of fucking space
any tips on going to the gym alone?
just be urself
keep your head down and try not to make any eye contact with anyone. Put some headphones on too.
Yeah, this one usually works for me
>Walk or drive down to the gym building
>Enter it
>Use my card to access gym area
>Change in wardrobe room
>Go out to training zone, lift weights for around 90 minutes
>Shower, change again and head home
Hope that helps
The hardest part is changing, especially if you've forgot your clothes
What is the secret to deadlifting, /fit/? Although my squat is 245 3x5, my deadlift is only 275 1x5. The weight isn't bad, but my grip strength just isn't there. Even hook grip or mixed grip, it just slips through my fingers
I am the one of the left, I'm 5'10" 175 but ectomorph as fuck, my hands/fingers/wrists are tiny. Could this be the cause?
>>36029332
whats the story here man
>>36029341
I have a hot tub and it is 10x better without shorts on
It's not gay as long as you don't look at the head of another man's penis
Who else is dirty bulking here?
I'm 5'9 125lbs. Literally don't give a single shit about being aesthetic, just want to be big and strong. Eating 3000 calories daily of clean but dense foods (oats in whole milk, red meat, nuts, eggs, sweet potatoes etc). Literally have never felt this good in my life.
Dirty bulking on 3k cal clean food? You'll be ok.
>>36029232
Thats not dirty bulking you spaz
>>36029232
lol dirty bulk. youre going to put on fat so much faster than muscle youll look like boogie by the time youre done.
