You know the drill, last 2 digits. 3 if you're not a bitch.
Fuck you
last digits are how many times i'm gonna fap to that breh
>>35749699
Oh snap
hey, this is my first time on /fit/, normally just /lit/ and /lgbt/ for me- don't know shit about keeping healthy and shit
anyway so I am a female, 5'6'', and I went down from 150lbs (I know) to 110lbs in nine months or so. I did this mostly from diet alone, crash dieting by eating c. 600 kcals a day.
I started jogging a bit but really I haven't exercised at all in my life.
So I'm thin now, but toneless and tfw that bart simpson physique, skinny with chubby belly.
I want to get toned but I'm so weak I literally can't even lift a weights bar without anything on it. How do I begin when I'm this weak?
I've been doing more cardio- around an hour a day for the last two-three months to improve general fitness- but will this make me a bit stronger?
tl;dr I went from fat to thin and want to be toned now, but too weak to start
pic on left is like my body, I'm a bit thinner though, but same fat distribution

skinny fat is worst fat...

I did, I was hoping for some more specific advice.
Why do most people on this board have super edgy reasons for lifting weights? I see shit like this all the time:
>I lift to become powerful so I can fight black people and no I don't care about women, they're whores I'm gonna beat up my Dad when I get big and oh man do I just hate everyone just like Sasuke
>>35749098
This place is basically just ex-/r9k/ users who started lifting. Of course its populated with misguided and mostly false world views.
>>35749098
Losers from /pol9k/ for New Year's. They'll give up soon and go back there when they realise you actually need to work hard to get fit and can't just blame being dyel on women & minorities.

I'm sure everyone here has read this sentence at least once, and for sure asked this ourselves when we were beginning.
One of the main reasons novice lifters get stuck on plateaus and can't progress, even though their numbers are low, is not resting enough between sets (besides trying to add too much weight to the bar and not eating enough, of course, but that's an issue for another thread).
If you are TRAINING, and not just going to the gym "to look good, I don't care about strength" (like the average commercial gym goer), you NEED to take longer rests between sets.
The answer is simple:
"This isn't conditioning. You always rest 5 minutes. And maybe 10 minutes. And maybe 15 minutes - depending on how much weight you're handling. The stronger you get, the longer you rest between sets." Rip
If you want to NOT FAIL the reps on your next set, you need to rest 4-5 minutes at least! And don't be afraid of taking a 7 minute break between your deadlifts or your squats if you feel you need to.
Here's a small conversation that went on Sheiko's forums between a trainee and Sheiko himself:
Trainee:
"Regarding the squat ladders on the same percentage (various sets of 70% at different reps), if I am not mistaken, I think I have read somewhere that there is a specific rest-time for those sets? Something along the lines of 1-1-1-2-2-2min between the sets."
Sheiko:
"The comment about rest periods is not mine.
It is clear that the more reps you do the more rest you will need. For (70%) sets no more than 5-6 minutes. If longer you muscles will get cold and you increase the chance of injury. If you lift 90% and up you can rest 8-10 min"
He then further elaborates:
"For rest periods, if you do - Squat 50% 5Ñ…1set, 60% 5Ñ…1set, 70% (2+4+6+8+7+5+3) reps
I recommend for 70% the following:
2reps - rest 3min
4reps - 3m
6reps- 5m
8reps- 5-6m
7reps- 5-6m
5reps- 5-6m
3reps- 3-4m
Do not forget that the heavier you are the longer recovery you need."
TL;DR: "Rest 5 minutes dumbass!" Rip
3 minutes
I always rest a minute as I heard that's how old skool bbers trained and it keeps the metabolic intensity up which is good for both fat burn and hypertrophy?..

how has your fraternity affected your gainz?
>>35746572
>frats
I'm an engineering major in ROTC I don't have time for fun anon, I barely have enough time for gainz.....
>>35746676
My frat has a mech eng in ROTC who lifts
>>35746572
Alot of carb back loading. Also my pap is currently trying to teach me how to escalte when talking to girls.
In addition, its nice when im at gym and can just find a brother and ask for a spot
Anyone here work in any sort of manual labor field? How much do you eat every day? Do you have any other tips on keeping your gainz and progressing in the gym while doing physical work 8+ hours a day? Skilled and unskilled workers welcome to answer
working for 10 years as a construction worker, lifting/carrying heavy shit 8 hours a day.
I'm 6'3" and weight around 220lb. I eat around 3000-3500kcal a day.
just follow your program. if you lifted too heavy at work that day reduce your weight in the gym if you feel like it. listen to your body and you will make gainz.

I did semi physical work as a delivery driver/ warehouse worker, moving boxes around that weren't too heavy. Got a job a couple months ago at a property maintenance company, it's alot more physically demanding. Didn't scale back my workouts at all and my shoulders ended up being super sore for about a week and I was generally tired, but I made some small adjustments and quickly got over being tired and sore. I've managed to go from 205 to 225 at 6'4 in the last 8-10 weeks, eating 3-4 really big meals a day, and using chocolate milk as a secret gains weapon. It was a little tough at first but your body adapts, if you feel more burnt out than usual or soreness lasts longer than it normally does then that's a sign you need to adjust.
