Hey /fit/, /fat/ here.
So, after reading through a thread yesterday and getting advice from a few of you, I've pretty much decided that I'm going to get my shit in gear.
For reference, I'm 19 and I weight about 115kg (253 pounds, more or less). My main problem has always been motivation. I start doing shit and then I quit because I'm a dumbass and I get put off by the fact that I'm not seeing results instantly. My only real obstacles right now are the fact that I live on campus at university (and my room really only allows me to go as far...

Sort out your shitty budgeting skills and join a gym. I am also a student in the UK and I have more than enough for my gym plus supps.
Does anyone have experience with fasting?
What method did you use and what were your results? Much muscle loss? Was the muscle loss worth the quick results?
Is is basically starving yourself for 24 hours a couple times a week?
I am 6'2, 106 kilos with decent lifts and muscle but a lot of fat.
I'd like to lose a good 10 kilos at least in a couple months. I can't really change my meals because my girlfriend is a gains goblin BUT she is Chinese and they are into the starving diets rather then changing the meals.
So this is my only option.
Bump for some first hand experience

Ive been doing IF 17/5hr for the last three years. Basically skipping breakfast and eating lunch around 2-3 pm. Feels good as I have a lot clearer mind in the morning. I've done a bunch of labwork and I consitently have high HDL and low ldl. Low C- reactive protein too ...and other markers of inflamation. I feel that subtle improvements were more apparent the first year but at this point its just my baseline self. It helped me recover from a hiking injury (lmao i know) and I just started getting back on the...

I want to cut 500-1000 calories from my diet I weigh almost 100kg and am only 18 but I want to get healthy sick of feeling insecure everywhere I go and obviously I want girls to be attracted to me I'm going to see a dietitian :) thanks for your post.
See old one is dying and reaching max..
I'm looking to buy some Jew powder. I usual go to my local small chain or BBcom. Average prices but I want to know if I could get it cheaper online and if so what site do you recommend?
Guess I'll go fuck myself.

Was anything ever told anywhere about Han Solo's past that's canon or is it a mystery?

He has a wife
And weak lats
is this a meme machine, /fit/ or can I actually accomplish something using it? Tried one out yesterday and got a decent burn in my shoulders and tris/bis using it a few different ways but not sure if its just because its a new type of exercise, know what I mean?
Looks interesting. Might be worth it just for the novelty of having something new and interesting to add to your workout
>>35209662
I'd be so fucking into this, holy shit.
you can do a bunch of different exercises, the seat pops off. you can "climb" up, do a deadlift kinda thing, lunging squat kinda things.
I dunno. Its a novelty anyway

how the hell do you manage to bench more than you can row?

I thought that was normal...
Hey kid, you wanna toothpick?
How was that running today /fit/? don't tell me you're just a gym rat.
Biked an hour today. Fifteen to work and back, fifteen to lunch and back. Finishing all cardio by 530 feel bretty good m80.
I run 3 days out of the week, so today was an off day. I was out of shape for a long time but now I do 2 miles minimum on cardio days after work, getting up to a 20~min 5k before I consider myself "in shape" and start doing other things for carido.

Nice, today was my first day running since my injury(3 months rest), forgot how amazing it is, still taking it easy thought.
I'm thinking of making my own pre workout using bulk powders. It would ensure that I'm paying for stuff that works and not useless fillers and it would be much cheaper than pre made supps.
My only concern is how to ensure that everything is evenly mixed. I don't want have things not be mixed properly and then end up accidentally taking 3000 milligrams of caffeine in one serving.
Is mixing the ingredients in a blender good enough or would I need to mix every serving individually to be safe?
This is where I got the idea. Omar just shakes it...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
why not mix it each time you need one? Are there that many ingredients?
>>35209587
Right now I'm thinking:
Beta Alanine
Taurine
Citruline Malate
L Carnitine
Caffeine
I could mix it by hand but mixing it all at once would be more convenient.

I mix dmaa powder with creatine into my coffee

You guys are pathetic
>chicken breast (pure protein) has 30 g of protein per 100 grams
>pure protein is only 30% protein
How do you explain this, /fit/?
>30% protein is 10% luck, 20% skill
What is water retention
>>35209393
are you saying chicken is 70% water? Pretty sure I would notice that when eating.
