Do you ever look at pictures of your waifu before big lifts to give you motivation?

Nah, just my real wife

What should eat if I lift early in the morning? I wake up about 30-45 min before workout... Currently I just have a banana and that's it, but I'm not sure whether it's the right way to go.
Something is better than nothing
30 mins might not be enough to allow for much more food though
I have a bit of oats before I go
When I was in your boat I just had a banana and a bit of milk but it was only 4 months and I didn't like it. You do get used to it though
>>37628561
Ham and eggs
Baked beans and toast
Anything high protein with at least moderate carbs.
Special k cereal, in coconut/almond milk
3 servings = 30 grams of protein, that's an easy 400 calories including the milk. I'll have a banana with it I feel like it or bring a Gatorade to the gym cuz sweating balls off
>tfw she gave you the "I love you and always will, but we aren't right for another" excuse
My lifts will be heavily effected because of this.

Fuck and duck you retarded cuck.

can you build muscle and lose fat at the same time as a noob?
Just work out man. If you're a noob to fitness dont worry about that micro managing your gains vs loss and just count your calories and work out. You'll do both
>>37628085
It depends on what you mean with 'build muscle'. You won't increase in size if you want to lose weight, but if you've never lifted before, then your muscles will get stronger and more defined in the first couple of months regardless if you're losing weight or gaining weight.
My guess is that you're skinnyfat. Either you bulk now and look like shit for a while but atleast you'll be strong or you cut first and you'll look better quickly but you'll be DYEL for a while.
>>37628125
>My guess is that you're skinnyfat.
correct, im bulking atm or trying to, its just i find it really hard going from having 0-2 meals a day to fucking 7 especially since im completely broke
So you lift, but can you defend yourself against Baba Koksal running at you with a knife

Yeah, just shoot him.
Ill just call Jason Blaha and he would take him out at point blank with his trusty .308 problm solved
i run like fuck, knives are no joke

guys HELP ME
i've been on SL for 3 months
29 y/o 5'9" 137lbs -> 151lbs
lifts:
squat 205
dl 235
bench 150
rows 150
ohp 105
i got fed up with doing squats 3x a weak and looking like a t-rex so i switched over to ppl
been on it for a week now and i haven't gained a pound even though i'm eating even more than i did before, eating at least 150g of protein per day, 250-300g carbs and 75g fat. i also haven't progressed on my main lifts.
what's wrong with me
>>37627917
You may have hit your natty limit. Unfortunately, you used it all up on your legs
>>37628139
This
Your best bet is to take a year off and never do any leg exercises when you start again.
you're at the end of your newb gains bitch. from here you have 3 choices; keep lifting and realize far slower gains, quit lifting because it's hard or start shooting roids and leave humanity (causing your insecurities to show through).
Whatever you choose, you're pretty fucked because manlet.
Don't stop SL, just add in more upper body accessory work.
What is the best forearm exercise and why is it pic related?
define "best"
>>37627842
>define "best"
better than all others in quality or value
most appropriate, useful, or helpful
>>37627831
Do farmer's walks, you pussy. Do them heavy and you won't be able to hold anything for a minute afterwards. They also fully engage nearly every forearm muscle. And you look metal doing them.
Also does going a narrower grip on sumo give good stabilizer gains?
ITT: People who hate on sumo because they saw some guy lifting more than them.
Rationalising their weak deadlift in 3... 2... 1...
I don't want to compete, so I train conventional.

I'm going to be going on vacation in 3 weeks, and I need some advice regarding a somewhat extreme idea I have to prepare.
I've been hitting the gym very non-consistently, and I want to change that. But I was hoping by doing the following, I may be able to see noticeable results between now and when I leave for vacation:
>limiting daily calories to ~1000 per day, allowing a high protein breakfast and a post workout protein shake.
>going to the gym every day of the week and resting on weekendsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Everything you planned is fucking retarded.

Youll lose quicker on a smaller deficit.

Who uses clubs here? They have quickly become my favorite at home piece. Got mine from Onnit. Would like to know results anyone else has had with them.
what kind of results do you expect?

I've seen some Olympic wrestling medalist Pajeet using them in his training. I have no clue what they are for
Why should I not be depressed today?
you're alive

you have the power to change your circumstances for the better
you're connected to the most useful tool in existence

Who says you shouldn't?
because you have friends and people that love you
25-30 minutes of jogging & sprinting>Lifting weights
Especially if you lift for aesthetics
So you're telling me I'll be more aesthetic by running than lifting? Kill yourself my man.
>>37628044
By sprinting, yes

Chad is eating pizza while you are eating chicken and broccoli. How does this make you feel /fit/? What is the point of lifting if you have subpar genetics.
I don't really care about the diets of people I do know, so why would I care about the diets of people who I don't know???
>>37627662
>chad
fuck off back to /r9k/
>>37627662
I don't know this chad
And I actually like chicken, broccoli, pepperoni, salad, nuts, fruits.. I'm gonna eat now
