First for Mattie.
So, I finished reading the sticky and have a problem. I've been going to the gym 2-3 times a week for the last few months, doing around 50 minutes of moderate cardio each time. According to the guide, I should also be doing weight-lifting to burn more calories.
Here's the thing: I don't want to gain muscle. I know it sounds weird, but I feel like I'm the only person who is horrified at the idea of building muscle.
TLDR: So, I guess my question is: Is there a way to do lifting so I can burn fat and be guaranteed to not build muscle? This would go...

I thought it was OP
/fit/ if you have the choice between making it and leaving humanity behind.
What would you choose?
making it for sure
>Not smoking a J with the Zeezbrah and talking about life and gains
Man that would be sweet.
if I had to make that choice I'd be wondering which galaxy should I pick
How do you break out of skinny fat mode ? Is it by eating below or above you're TDEE?
is it by focusing on cardio or bodybuilding?
>>35653670
yes
>>35653670
You lift.
Do a cut and then lean bulk. Or you could try eating at maintenance.
Neither worked for me.
did anyone try out this guys program?
Is it any good? I'd hate to pay 37$ just to see a video of him saying I should lift and eat big.
>>35653651
>pay 37$
>>35653750
such retort

Does /fit/ wax?
I've been doing my nads for the past year and it feels great to be hairless. Much more aerodynamic.
I use magic shave
no i gave up dabs, they make me panicky
I'm having laser treatment for my back and shoulders. Back is clear now, shoulders will still need around 4 more treatments.
Will deadlifting correct a minor case of lordosis from adolescent inactivity and chronic sitting?
>>35653403
I have lordosis
Deadlifting didn't help so much
I am currently focusing on core and glutes related exercises to fix it. Hitting them 2-3 times a week.
yes. if you do it properly its literally weighted "stand up straights". just make sure your spine isnt overextended when you DL
and sitting isn't really the problem, being a weak fuck and not enforcing proper posture throughout the day is

You have the power to change. Or failing that, the power to end it all. Either works and no one else really gives a shit.

>>35653120
>TFW your peppers and tomatoes are still alive from last spring.

So good to be able to walk out into the garden, grab herbs to spice meat and grab some tomatoes, lettuce and onions and garlic to make a little side salad. Takes 30mins to plant a fuck ton of food and all...

What do you use to track calories, /fit/? I like MFP, but don't wanna pay money to track macros.
I tried using MFP but it always fails to make an account so I've been writing everything down in a notepad
mfp
i dont need to pay to track macros...??
>>35653045
I just have a daily calendar, write P: F: C: and add it up as I go.
Hey /fit/ ever since I started bulking (went up 25 pounds since November) I've noticed a severe lack of energy lately. The past month actually I've been exhausted. So exhausted it messes with my workout schedule sometimes, does that have a direct correlation to my bulking? Has anyone else had this problem?
Fit pls
you're depressed go see a doctor
>>35653914
Nah man life is great. I'm just waking up after 7 hours and feeling physically tired, and staying that way most of the day
Started working, got more pussy to fuck
But also stopped having serious relations with girls. Now i see them as fuckmeat, and i m sure they know it too.
I just wan't something serious /fit/.. Is getting swole making me a douchebag to girls ?
try banging a guy
but say no homo so you dont catch gay
>>35653011
Same thing happened to me, breh. Maybe I'll shoot for an actual relationship when I go back to uni in a week
>>35653011
>Is getting swole making me a douchebag to girls ?
No, you were always a latent douchebag in general, now it's manifesting.
Have you considered.. NOT being a douchebag? Just try it. Or leave girls alone, because there are too many douchebags around as it is, and you're making girls act weird because of it; you're ruining it for everyone else.
