Cardio at gym? Which machine is your fav?
My cardio is swimming.
>>34977387
Is there any good reason why people run on a treadmill rather than outside?
>>34977398
maybe it's fucking cold outside in their country, and they don't wanna wear three layers of clothes. Just a guess.
>never stretched in my life
Should I get a foam roller? Y/N?

>I have never run in my life
>should I get a treadmill
You don't need a foam roller, just some flat ground.
>>34977338
You should, foam rolling helps prevent the worst quad, ham, and lower back DOMS, and most importantly: calf DOMS, they are so fucking bad for me normally, but after foam rolling I barely even get them.
>>34977893
foam rolling is way more useful than stretching, unless you have a specific flexibility need for some sport or something
Is mixing strenght and hypertrophy training the best option? I'm talking about splits like PPL. Doing Arnold's Golden Six right now, but I'm not sure about the results it will give.
Steroids xf
Any routine xf
8-12 reps for mass. 1-5 reps for strength. Sets depends on how many workouts you do. Want to keep each workout day between 15-25 sets total. Anything else posted is a meme.

DYEL??
You do stuff besides lifting right?
Play bass in a band, produce music with Reason, DJ, snowboard
Yes, now fuck off and stop making these shitty threads every single day. Go actually get a fucking hobby.

How much is /fit/ eating at the moment?
Macro Targets? Protein to bodyweight ration you're using? Favourite meals/snacks?
Would also be good to have context e.g. your goals (bulk, Clean bulk, cut etc)
Currently 200lb (6ft 3") Trying to slowly recomp (drop some BF (18% ish atm) and slowly gain more muscle) Wont lie, planning out a diet where I'm getting enough protein is the toughest part for me.
Any real world tips for diet beyond the sticky?
How much protein are you aiming for each day?
>>34977212
about 160g, trying to get as much as possible from whole foods
Try to keep meals lower than 1.5cal per gram.
This allows you to eat more and get the fullness you want without blowing your diet out of the water.
Will cardio make me more motivated? Any other home remedies for lathargy?
>>34977152
stop using social media and video games.
>>34977162
I don't use social media unless anonymous image and text boards count. I play a lot of video games, my main hobby is collecting Sega Saturn and Mega Drive games.
>>34977152
What do you mean by motivated? Took up skateboarding again and it makes me feel full of life, so intense! Went to the biggest public skatepark in the US today for over 4 hours.
thoughts ?

Probably whatever food types were most common in your ancestors environment are best for your body. And I would stress the enviroment part, not their actual diets because I'm sure even the cavemen managed to invent some unhealthy greasy shit to eat.
>>34977105
Ugly feet. Wouldn't suck but would cum on.
I'm sure as genetic work continues health will get a point where we get can easily obtain complete optimal dietary info for our exact bodies.
Until then SQUATZ AND OATZ.

Have you guys seen this little prick here? Supposably has 18 world records.

>>34976726
He probably does (or has held/broken a record eighteen times). Powerlifting is one of those sports where you can rack up a shit-ton of records that don't really mean anything.
>>34976726
Thanks for the laugh OP, his instagram is full of keks

He is strong as fuck though
>>34976815
Hes a manlet, if he accidentally picks up something heavy he becomes super ripped and strong
hey /fit/,
I've been using these caffeine pills (200mg) for lifting, and the first few days I felt like I was on speed. Hyperactive, hyper-awake, super-strong, and all that stuff.
However, after a week of using them almost daily, I started losing the 'high'. I just take them so I can wake up in the morning, and I get to gym and don't feel much more energetic than any other day.
Caffeine works as it binds with receptors for sole sleep chemicals in your brain, so when you're taking them for too long, your brain develops more of those sleep...

Does the pills work same as drinking coffee? If Yes then lol
You have to cycle the dosage. >500mg will cause heart problems.
>>34976641
>cycle the dosage
would you be so kind to explain this?
>at gym listening to youtube on shuffle from history
>suddenly "Hello" by Adele while trying to do incline press
>tear up
>think about ex from 3 years ago
>start crying
>disguise as sweat
>finish set and hate myself
Is lifting to sad music good for you or bad?
>>34976615
I don't care if it is good or bad, You are a BetaFag regardless.
Oh and listening to sad music at the gym is almost as gay as when you fuck guys in the steamroom (Probably why your ex left you)
>>34976639
I left my ex desu senpai
>implying it's gay to fuck dudes
Are you some sort of fag?
That song is terrible and shes married with a kid so you know she had like 18 writers come up with it.
Must be awesome to just wake up one day and decide to refill your bank account ainging some bullshit.
So, /fit/, how much can you press?
>tfw pressing your bodyweight for 5 reps
Feels good mang.

Cool read. My best was 205 pounds. I didnt actually train it using BB but instead used dBs from 60 to 90.
>>34976611
Using db is way, WAY easier.

Currently reading thank you for posting.
My press is 150 lbs.
I am a 300 lbs fat ass, but if I was lean I'd be around 170, so 150 is pretty good I suppose.
So is it Zeeeeez or Ziz? I think the first is correct but it's makes your neckbeard grow so I'll stick with the latter.
>>34976551
Ziz, he said so himself. Also hes Aussie and we all speak proper down under
>>34976551
Z's
Like aziz but drop the A
zee-why-zee-zee :^)
Can we get a /fit/ recipe thread?
I'm looking for one in particular that involved wrapping bacon around a chicken breast and baking it in a mix of veggies. I'd really appeciate if someone had that one.
>ITT: addiction and self-improvement talk
Sup faggots
After a woman that I loved passed away about 6 months ago, I ... collapsed.
I quit going to the gym, started smoking weed everyday again, and would drink anywhere between 6 and 10 beers each night.
I was somehow able to get up and go to work everyday, but only because I drank 2 liters of water before going to bed, and 2 energy drinks upon waking up.
I was miserable... literally shit. On days off, I would try to go back to sleep after waking up because I didn't...

If you really want to get rid of all your addictions, leave 4chan and never come back.
had some friends pass away this year too. drank myself dumb and got a DUI. taking care of most of that now though. I ramped up the cigarettes too, smoking less now though. going to go for a long run this morning and not buying anymore today.
>>34976360
Yeah I thought about it...
I've been spending more time NOT in front of my computer lately and it made me realize how much this place (while funny and ''kinda'' informative), is ultimately a waste of time, just like laying on the couch and watching TV.
