What was your motivation to get fit?
For me, it was being a depressed, skinny unhappy loser with serious confidence issues. i was 21 and decided i wanted to turn my life around while still being young enough to enjoy it.
I'm only one year on but things have massively changed for me. You?

For me, I wanted to stop being a fat fuck who always told myself "one more chocolate wont hurt" and the classic "I dont look too bad". I started losing weight last year around this time, I was 115kg. Now I am 83kg and still going. I havent lifted for some months now, and the lifting wasnt really serious either, just getting a workout in, and try to do it 2-3 times a week. I work out with my mates. My goal is to get under 80kgs, possibly 77kg and start to build muscles. I try to be my own inspiration...

I think people forget that being overly skinny/weedy is just as damaging for self esteem as being fat. i was skinny (i had a pot belly from bad diet tho) and generally felt like shit. for me, i always remind myself what im working towards. i don't say i'm looking to get better looking or whatever, i say i'm looking to get strong; stronger mentally, stronger socially, stronger physically. life is so much better now and i wouldnt want to ever give up.

Anyone on /fit/ been arrested before? People like Kali became HUEG after going to prison, I'm considering getting myself arrested for a while to utilize their free gym facilities.
He isn't huge because he went to prison you fuckwit, he's huge because he does roids

>As a convict, Kali once again turned to bodybuilding for solace. Working out incessantly, Kali began chucking iron about like it was candyfloss.
He did a shit ton of working out in prison, maybe he used roids, maybe he didnt. But prison helped.

Depending on the state, there won't be any weights. People get big in there because of the sheer volume and intensity of their calisthenics (think 1500 pushups/day)
Who here works out every day/most days of the week? I worked legs yesterday and shoulders/back/biceps today, not sure what to work tomorrow. I usually go every other day.

Are you even on a routine?
You're not gonna make it bro
You need rest days, if you want to workout everyday do some cardio or start another hobby
>>35078257
only 4-5 days a week and cardio on the other days.
I recently started supplementing with vitamin D3, vitamin K2, and a multivitamin.
I also eat leafy green vegetables almost daily.
I'm wondering if I'm overdosing certain vitamins.
On average I'm getting about 600-800% of the RDA of vitamin K through eating green vegetables. I also get an additional 6000% through supplementation.
I consistently hit over 300% of the RDA for vitamin A.
In addition my vitamin D3 supp provides 1000 IUs which is 250% of the RDA dor vitamin D.
Am I overdosing? How much is too much? Do I need to "cycle off" certain supplements occasionally?

>On average I'm getting about 600-800% of the RDA of vitamin K through eating green vegetables. I also get an additional 6000% through supplementation.
Maybe take it down a bit if you want. I haven't seen anything about negative effects from taking too much K though
>I consistently hit over 300% of the RDA for vitamin A.
If it's beta carotene then don't worry about it. A single carrot has that much Vitamin A.
>In addition my vitamin D3 supp provides 1000 IUs which is 250% of the RDA dor vitamin D.
1000 IU is fine.

Gotta start somewhere. 10 dollars down, decent enough weights, and all the fat people I can laugh at
Will taking cold showers aid in weight loss?
No, just eat less and lift weights
That's literally it
>>35078136
But that's hard. I'll just take cold showers instead.
Which one is worst to drink? Soft drink or beer? Trying to cut.
Both are terrible on a cut.
>>35078100

Just drink coffee or water or diet soda.
Seriously, if you want to try to cut then don't fucking ever drink your calories unless it is soup.

Do you guys eat fast food?
>>35077993
like once every month i think.
fast food is for lazy fat fucks who are too lazy and fat to walk in a store to buy ingredients and make something actually worth eating
>>35077993
No, because I know how to cook and prepare my meals in advance, but once or twice in a month won't kill you, as long as you make up for it fasting the next day.

Anyone else here from the UK?
I was at a service station today waiting in line for some food, so i was looking around at other people and god damn man, everyones so fat. .
Id say at least 1/3 of the people in that service station were fucking obese.
How has this happened?
Service stations attract people who have static lifestyles such as truckers. It's nothing new. Most people are skinny fat
Welcome to 2000. Cant wait to goverments to try avoid people eating them self to death.

What's the very worst meme of the fitness industry?
>anabolic window
>bodybuilding splits for total begginers
>leg machines
>crunches(bonus points if done with the intention of spot reducing)
Fuck, there are so many to choose from
You need to do squats and deadlifts is a huge meme.
Your body.
>>35077807
There's noting wrong with leg machines if they're used as accessory lifts.

How does one achieve VISUAL effect of olympic weightlifter's physique.
I don't mean their strength levels, but more aesthetic side of their bodies.
They didn't achieve their physique just by doing clean & jerk and snatch all the time.

Sup /fit/ need some help.
I'm a dyel who benchs 135 lbs, lately I started notice my shoulders make a crack noise everytime I bench all the way down to my chest.
I read on the Internet that some people believe benching all the way down can fuck your shoulder so you should bench at 90 degrees only, so I started benching like this and realize my shoulders dont crack.
It's ok if I bench like this? or im going to get a visit from the gains goblin?
>>35077421
Bump, i bench a lot heavier than you but my shoulders have started doing the same shit
>>35077421

A bench press should go all the way down to your chest. Try lowering the weight and angling your elbows a little closer to your sides than flaring outwards
