I've hit rock bottom.
My back hurts, my arms are flabby and I look pregnant.
I've got more chins than a Chinese phone book.
I'm utterly disgusted with my current body and the fact that the past few years I have gone from a ripped athlete to a "Dad Bod" sporting, estrogen producing fat ass.
IT ENDS TODAY
I'm currently fat and will be getting back into shape.
How many of you fat lurkers are in the same place?
I know there are a shit ton of you out there.

hi
22 y/o, 21 years spent doing nothing but vidya and eating like a bird all of my life. somehow managed to end up with a gf that's way out of my league, got tired of people talking shit behind my back about how she could do better even though she doesn't give a shit and is perfectly fine with me being skinny, but it messes with me mentally. so i've decided to not be a skinny piece of shit anymore.
i'm 5'9/175cm, 56kg/120lbs
just had my first day of this version of SS:
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
DL 1x5
Dips 2x5-8 (add weight...

fuck you guys, answer my fucking questions
>>35488978
just keep working out and youll be able to do dips. start working on your triceps and that will also help with dips.
3000 calories a day is good. keep track of how much you used to eat and just eat more than that. if you want to gain weight, take in more calories then you burn.
dont get down on yourself about how much you can lift bro, everyone has to start somewhere. give it a few months and youll see a drastic change.
>>35488978
also hyperextensions for your back? do dead lifts instead.
I started lifting back in November. I just moved so I had to find a new gym and my current gym is shit.
The gym doesn't allow deadlifts and you're not allowed to move the barbells so I can't do barbell rows either. Obviously, this also means olympic lifts are off the table.
This pretty much screws up most of the popular novice programs.
Before anyone asks, no, I can't just find a new gym. My town only has 3 other gyms. 2 of them are even worse than my current one and the last is way too expensive.
What should I do?
Home gym
>>35488905
I live in an apartment. A home gym isn't an option.
this is now a thick asians thread
Hey /fit/
Is going at a heavy bag a legitimate form of exercise?
Or is it a waste of time if you're not a boxer?
>>35488605
I think it's a waste of time, considering you never had boxing lessons to know how to hit. You'll probably end up injuring yourself if you hit that shit everyday with bad form.
However if you're 300+ lbs, it could be decent cardio and worth the "risk"
>>35488605
best cardio ever
>>35488677
ignore this faggot.
just keep your wrist straight to your fist, not your forearm (pic related - though kind of exaggerated), and only punch with your middle finger's knuckle (err on the side of your index knuckle, so if more than one knuckle comes into contact with the striking surface it is your index and your middle together)
aside from that, the rest should come naturally over time, just try punching with...

also, using that picture as a reference, you want your fist to move towards the target "corner" first (the upper left corner of the fist)
a lot of people punch with the flat side moving towards the target, and that can lead to your punch landing on your fingers, which will break your hand.
on a heavy bag, however, the chance of injury is laughably small..
you are hitting a goddamn cushion, after all

Don't fall for that meme. Hit the gym

Does blood regenerate?
Whats your routine?
I do 100 pushups, 100 pullups, 100 squats, and 10 km run everyday while saving money to spend on my mind instead.
>>35488306
EVERY DAY
>>35488306
That's a shit routine, enjoy your nogainz fagdick
Okay so /fit/ I designed this tattoo, kinda and I'm wondering if I should get it or not or if I'm just memeing really hard and am gonna end up looking autistic. The wolves inside are based on that old Cherokee parable you always see in motivation threads (the good and evil battling inside where the one you feed wins) , but they also carry personal significance because my father told me this story when I really young just before he died. The Sanskrit text around it translates to "the line between good and evil runs not between cultures, nations or creeds but through...

Native american story, quote from a Russian writer in sanskrit. Pretentious and degenerate as fuck.
If bait, 9/10
If it means something to you then go for it but do the 12 month rule and think about it hard. Also the dialogue may be hard to do right and will likely get butchered unless you pay a few thousand for it.
I always preferred simple abstracts.
>>35488288
I don't believe in nations mate, the use of multiple cultures further backs up the quote. And I don't mean to come across as pretentious, there's just genuinely meaning attached to each aspect of it

With them being so expensive I want to be sure to buy one I love that will suit my needs and last years. When I was a kid my friends and I used to bike all over our little town on mountain bikes, and I really loved it. Now over a decade has passed since I've even owned a bike and I'm hoping to get fit again.
Bike would mostly be used on pavement and some concrete sidewalks, but I live in the mountains so flat roads are a rarity. Really hoping to bike to work when it warms up some, and there will be some very steep roads in doing so. There may be times when I'll...

Lads, give me some good exercises to strengthen lower abs. All I really do now is v ups and hanging knee raises.
Partner leg tosses are a good one
>>35487789
V-ups and hanging knee raises are fine.
Besides, there are no "lower abs". It's one set of muscles going from your groin to your chest.
I only do leg raises because I hate doing abs, but I have great lower abs genetically, so I can't say much
Oly lifts, Diddly and squats.
You get shredded as fuck, because cardio.
so why aren't you doing it /fit/?
>>35487706
joint health, I wanna be able to walk past 30. Also, it's hyped to death
how come all crossfitters have sixpacks? checkm8 haters
>>35487809
How come all pro crosshitters do heavy weight training and don't even do crosshit till 2 weeks before a meet?
Do you lift when youre tired fit? When you dont feel strong?
>>35487666
No I just lay on the couch and eat candy instead
That girl is very cute.
>>35487666
devilish trips
also, i do
but results are usually disappointing. its still better than not going tho. and the disappointment makes you more motivated to sleep properly, and eat and hydrate properly.

Oh, so when I see girls at the gym I now know what they're lifting for.
>>35487656
You can say what you want /fit/ but from a business point of view this commercial is great.
Women in gyms are fucking cash cows. They'll sign a two year contract, visit the gym maybe ones a month and forget to cancel their contract.
This is a good commercial. Why?
Because all of the exercises are crossshit and don't use real weights and bars. The ad shows women what kind of lifts they should do, so that way when they come to your gym (for about a month or so) they don't use up all of your weights.
>>35487656
they lift to be a normal functioning human being?
>>35487735
but yea its pretty much this
>my sister is one of those cash cows
>she also complains about how difficult it is to lose weight
