There is huge potential will you my man
Keep going
Does going to the gym make you happy?
If yes then keep doing it
Youll feel like its enough in a short time, but then the little things kick in. L
I.e. tricep serperation, calves shaping, forearms
nitpicking
>>35144763
You look a lot like me, except a bit smaller all over, and with shit pants.
If you really get into lifting, you will never be big enough. But thats the fun, you always have a goal.
>>35144797
>Does going to the gym make you happy?
yes, I hate rest days with a passion
I fucking hate my calves, they never seem to grow.
also, a shoulder separation has been kicking my ass lately, that messed my routine up pretty badly and I lost about 20lbs on all of my maxes... very discouraging
Hey /fit/, beginner here. How do you manage fitting meals to your macros and daily calorie intake? I've got my calories and protein targets sorted, but as a hopeless cook, I don't know where to start in terms of meals and good combinations that will hit my targets? Any advice?
>>35144761
Meal prep. Take 2 hours to cook all your food for a few days. The oven is your friend.
i dont give a flying fuck about specific numbers and just make sure to cook fresh with ground ingredients from the /fit diet/ picture and roughly count the protein. you dont have to bother counting calories or macros or whatever the fuck you talk about there as long as you feel good and cook with the /fit diet/ picture.
bulk=eat so you want to vomit
cut=feel like you could eat more, but will not. not neccessarily starving.
eat almonds as a snack and put berries and other fruits in your oatmeal in the morning. that will do the trick
also drink so much water...

Experiment. Turkey/chicken with spinach, onions, garlic, soy sauce and whole wheat pasta works wonders.
any meat with a tomato sauce you made yourself (cut tomatoes, add spices, water, olive oil, garlic, blend with a mixer). tomato sauce will taste better after a few days. dont eat it on the first day. give it some rest.
cook broccoli and other green stuf in a pan with oliveoil and or soy sauce and season with salt and pepper, add leak...

Roids, clearly.

Who /hpv/ in here?
I might have it. But there's no scientific diagnostic test for males.
If I have a reasonable suspicion that I've contracted HPV, but not a cancer-causing strain, am I morally obligated to tell all prospective partners that I *may* or *may not* have it and that there's no way to know for sure?
Yes you gross fucker.
>>35144578
cool dude. have you ever had sex? there's a pretty good chance that you either have it or have had it as well.
most people who contract it are asymptomatic. studies vary between indicating that 40-80% of sexually active people get it at least once in their lifetime.
>>35144586
If you think you have it then you have symptoms. If you have symptoms you could pass those symptoms on. Don't be an asshole.
/fit/ humor lads
it's funny because it got posted every day for the past two years
>>35144332
Why would you lie like this senpai
>>35144318
If I wanted /fit/ humor I'd just ask what your 1 rep maxs are.
I used to be fat. 6'4", 300lbs. Now I'm thin and /fit/ (in clothes) at 180lbs. I've been meeting girls regularly, whether it's through phone numbers, the bar, or at work/through friends. They all bore me.
At first getting a girls number was exciting. I thought I was making progress. I was never autistic or socially shy, but now that I'm not fat it's easier than ever. But holy hell, out of all 6 numbers that I've gotten over the past few weeks, every girl is boring as sin. Even the non-bar ones that I've met. I'm demotivated....

Posting more feels stuff because I have nothing better to do at 1:30am on a Friday night while drunk.
Might as well mix in some motivational stuff to keep it semi-fit related
Two twins brothers start working out. They are exactly the same, same height, same weight, they start from the exact same point.
Brother 1 and brother 2 start doing the same exact routine, BUT
1) Brother 1 is very meticulous and he does the exercise with perfect form, powerful fast contraption - slow controlled inverse movement, he microloads, he reset 20% the weight when stalling etc.
2) Brother 2 wants to not look like a bitch ass faggot at the gym dealing with small weights so he uses like 10-20% more than his brother weight but of course he struggle a lot more....

>Who will get more gains in the end?
The one who didn't browse /fit/
>>35144201
also: brother 2
>>35144201
Probably brother 2.
For all that we talk about form, routine and diet.... 90% of the results are from sheer bloody minded effort.
this is what Ronnie used to do at restaurants with everything that resembled vegetables
if you eat vegetables to make better gains, explain yourself
>>35144194
>Ronnie
>a walking pharmacy
>doesn't matter what he eats at all
Shiggy son, step your game up
>>35144255
he's 100% natty
He made a mess for the workers to clean up? What a fucking dick.
How to get HUGE with a single 45lbs plate workout?
You dont dude
just increase reps my man
instead of benching 255 3x8, bench 45 3x500
>>35144311
Is increasing reps really good for building muscle though?
I myself was thinking about progressing to crazy exercises like pressing the plate overhead for reps with only one hand. Don't know how dangerous that type of shit is.
What do you do for work? Does your job help you make gains? Do you wish lifting was part of your job? How close is the nearest gym from your work?
>>35144075
IT.
It's the gains goblin of careers. Sitting on my ass in a chair all day is fucking my posture. Everyone in the office pounds Cokes and take-away food all day.And there's a couple of skinny-fat / chubby dudes who when discussing their weight (over 100kg when they're only like 5'8") honestly believe it's all muscle.
>>35144075
I'm in the military and PT every day. It's okay for burning a few calories and I actually like it. But I get free gym and like 350$ a month for food, so it's cool.
>>35144118
Sup hombre
It breh here too. I walk to a gym on my lunch and get a pump, unlimited gainz in the snackateria @ work. Tons of young poon to 'mire my gainz, stay jello plebs.
Can someone explain to me how this thing works?
>>35143926
looks like some sort of ab roller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtdBMkZDQS0
>>35143926
Is that the thing for your forearms? You tie weights to it and then roll them up really slowly and roll them back down slowly.
>can't jerk off, will scratch up my dick
>can't use gloves, fit will call me a fag
>can't use lotion, fit will call me a fag
>can't do nofap, fit says it does nothing and will call me a fag
What am I supposed to do fit? Get a g-girlfriend?
>>35143873
pumice your calluses, learn how to hold a bar right
>caring what people think about you on a mongolian fingerpainting forum
>>35143873
nigga use some fucking lotion
vaseline mens
fag lotion is the smelly fucking wall all the girls wear because perfum costs too much
if you smell like fucking PETROLEUM jelly you can't get any more manly, and the lotion version says it uses fucking MICRO droplets negro. micro droplets make your dick look more aesthetic when you're finally able to jack off
Brehs my mind is starting to wander in the gym now. It used to be a sanctuary where I could leave humanity behind but now I think my routine has me in a rut and my subconscious is telling me I gotta be healthier in changing it up. So fit how do you maintain that steely determination? I won't stop going I just wanna be at my best
>>35143858
Not from motivation threads on /fit/, that's for sure.
>>35143858
you sound like a little bitch. fuck off.
>>35143916
Thanks senpai
Am looking for advice on how to effectively train the Vastus Medialis Oblique as part of Patellofemural Pain Syndrome treatment.
I've always had pretty bad knees but for the past two years or so I've had significant discomfort (and sometimes pain) as a result of patellar maltracking and audible clicking and grinding of the kneecap over the femur.
I've been working on this for about 6 months now but things have improved only marginally. So who here has personal experience with PFPS and/or Vastus Medialis training and can guide me towards exercises...

You seem to be under the impression that /fit/ knows anything about lifting.
You'd be better off going to reddit
>>35143842
I know people who swear by using just the top 30 degrees or so of the leg extension machine for high reps as a means of helping knee tracking issues.
But I have no idea if it'll work or even be a good idea in your case.
You're asking something rather specific, try a physical therapist, preferably one with a specialty in knee or general joint recovery.
Is mixed grip still natty? What if I use chalk?
Thanks.
I'm not really a big fan of mixed grip, because there's a real risk of tearing your bicep if you end up making a mistake. But do whatever you like, bro.
No, ingesting chalk has an effect on muscle growth equivalent to a standard test cycle.
No sorry. As soon as you use mixed grip, a squadron of /fraud/ will parachute down screaming LIGHT WEIGHT and inject you with creatine and semen and you lose your n-card.
>>35143754
pretty rare, so long as you make sure to keep slack. Hook grip gets kind of painful at heavy weights
