Just post whatever gets you pumped and wanting to hit the gym. Qt's, quotes, big guys (uuuu) lifting big weights, whatever. What gets you pumped?
Starting with my favorite pic I've seen here
Okay general advice thread.
>I was an obese kid, fat shaming prompted me to try to lose weight.
>This is me now.
>I'm still not happy with my body, any tips on how to further my weight loss and muscle gain
>I go to the gym, i can post my routine and diet if it helps.
INB4 starve
Keep going. It looks like it's working. If you've hit a plateau i'd try to work on the diet. Other than that looking good man
>>35224693
So far my diet just consists of carbs, protein, and fruit.
Anything I should add to it?
Hello fit
Yesterday i pr'd 2 120kg deadlifts and was wondering - at what weight should I consider using a belt assuming the form is fine?
Pic unrelated
i use a belt for squats and deadlift for weights >100kg
@bw 80kg
>>35224348
4.5+pl8
>>35224364
What if I keep going at it without a belt even if the form is fine? Will I fuck my back over?
Any of you guys ever go over to /r9k/ to remind yourself what you should never become and why you lift?
Sometimes I switch it up and go to /b for the same reason.
>>35224253
I'm pretty much r9k tier and I still lift. Where is your god now?
>>35224263
I keep going over there every few weeks to tell them to lift because it will give them self confidence and that will be the first step to improving their lives, but they always blow me off. They always make excuses >I'm short >I'm ugly etc. If you have the conviction to lift and stick to it you are far above them.
my lower back is really sore after deadlifting 2 days ago but i only feel it when i move, is this normal?
If your form was like his then your fucked lol... It's normal
Form is on point
Is it soreness or pain?
If it's soreness, it just means your back muscles are getting used to it and your lift is working.
If it's a shooting pain that's radiating, that's not good. Rest and work on form.
About to buy a power cage and a BB. Been doing DB stuff for a year. What specific exercises should I go for to make sure I can handle the BB?
I never did sports before, at all, and got into it over a year ago. Made huge progress but want to ensure success.
ITT: /fit/ is too busy shitposting to respond to a legit question.
C'mon.
What about doing barbell movements?
how am i supposed to make serious gains when my wrists, elbows, shoulder and knee joints always sore
>>35224201
I ask myself this all the time :(
>tfw left shoulder and elbow both tendonitis
>tfw right arm is making gains while my left recovers
In all honesty save money see a PT, search up on youtube for any kind of help on your issues and try them all
>>35224201
are you 90 years old? Do you have rheumatoid arthritis? Get your shit fixed son
>>35224226
i dont know whats wrong with me
its not an issue of bad form or anything, my joints have always ached
i love lifting and would like to start using roids some day, and id want to train 6-7 days per week, but i know theres no way my joints would be able to handle that
feels bad
how do I into bond-mode?
>Drink martini everyday
>Fuck all the bitches
> Shoot bad guys
>10x10 pushups
>>35223979
skip leg day
>>35223990
>>35223991
Both of these. He basically looks like hes in decent shape and lower body fat.
My left bicep is an inch bigger than my right bicep, even my left deltoid looks bigger.
No clue why because I'm right handed.
What curl variation is best to fix this? Should I also be doing dumbbell press one arm at a time?
>>35223927
Thats what happens when you are far more dexterous with one hand. You probably use your right arm more efficiently, which decreases the work done. Meanwhile, the muscles on your clumsy left works harder.
You can avoid this problem by training to failure or using barbells with proper form.

Do what I do. Skip a set on your bigger biceps. Seems to be working so far. So if I do 3 sets I do 2 sets for right and 3 sets for left
Thoughts on doing OHP and Arnold Press on push day and then Lateral Raise on pull day? Is it fine or not enough rest time for full gainz?
Hey guys, first time poster here.
My friend is trying to get me to get a membership at the local gym with him. I suffer anxiety and he said it'd be good to go, just to get my mind off shit.
Can anyone here confirm whether it's a good idea or not?
Do it faggot
>>35223919
> I suffer anxiety
This is not a thing.
>>35223919
Local gym? Someone may know you! Even if they don't, you'll be the newcomer - the fluffy, weak, newcomer. And they will all judge you and talk about you behind your back! Inside and outside of the gym!
If I were you I'd go "cocoon" mode and constantly compliment myself on my brave segregation with regular chocolate treats. Damn, you need some rewarding motivation after all!
How do I into it?

Suck dick for like 60 years

I never used to believe in “thin privilege” I just thought oh bunch of fatties go run. But after reading this it’s really opened my eyes so much. Although I’m 5’‘4 and 130, and have never struggled to find clothes that fit, or doctors to help a few week ago a girl who used to date my partner called me a “fat bitch”, when someone said “no she’s not fat she’s like 130 pounds” the girl instantly said back “yeah well I’m only 95”, like it made her better than me or more important.
Everyone is important, I can’t believe I never noticed how privileged...

>could be sick or have bad knees.
Key word here is could be. They're usually not, or the bad knees are a product of obesity.
Personally I'm not as radical about the fat hate as /fit/ is. I really don't give a shit if you're chubby or overweight to an extent. But if you can't walk - if you can't climb stairs or have a healthy heart - you need help.
>>35223682
I used to be fat, it's their own fucking fault, don't acknowledge them as struggling...
How do I get veiny arms?
>>35223653
It's called Vascularity.
Big muscles, little fat over all.

>>35223653

>>35223620

I want a body like this then progress to something with slightly more mass. How do I go from skinny fat to that? i don't care how hard it is or how long it takes I just straight up don't know how to go about getting there.
