I'm /fat/ (not morbidly obese or anything but that's not the issue) and today I decided that I'm not interested in dying young of a heart attack. I've eaten so much fast food in my life it's probably shocking. I'd say I eat fast food at least 3 times a week.
Few questions:
1. Fruits and vegetables always taste like flavorless mush to me, how do I make them taste good like everyone claims they taste?
2. I've seen conflicting advice on meats. Some say that meats increase your cholesterol and build up plaque in the arteries, some say that eggs are the worst possible food to eat, others say that meat and eggs are great for you. I was planning on cooking mostly eggs, chicken, and steak as my main dishes, is this good for my heart?
3. Will a good diet and exercise make my heart healthier? Would it get rid of plaque?
By the way, I'm already on high blood pressure pills.

1. Your tasting is busted, give it a month or so and vegetables will start to taste good. Carrots are borderline candies to me now. Otherwise you can steam them then add butter / slat. Or fry them. Baking them then adding lemon juice is good too.
2. Cholesterol from food is a meme. Your cholesterol is regulated by your body and cholesterol from food does not affect it.
4. Rid of it? Hard to say. Make it better and more importantly, not adding even more plaque? Yes

Read the fucking sticky it is there for a fucking reason.
>>37490839
Link your sources that say dietary cholesterol does not affect blood cholesterol. Because otherwise, you're full of shit

Protip lifting does get you laid.

Pretty much the same op
When will crossfit get the respect it deserves?
>>37490658
When it does something respect worthy maybe?
I think we're slowly reaching the point it truly deserves.

Is it that bad to "curl" on the smith machine to get technique perfected if u are new?
>>37490643
>"curl" on the smith machine
what? How?
>>37490643
no, because curling with a fixed bar is wrong form
just tuck in elbows to ribs and you're good to go
Yeah sure. Go for it faggot.
Heard this on the radio today. Little trivia question, How much can Obama bench press? I guessed 185lbs. Didn't specify whether his max ever, or max recently, but I assume a recent max rep.
One guy that called was 10lbs and got tickets to monster trucks or somethng
>things like this are fun when you're old.
I don't want to spoil it, a quick google tells you the weight #

Let's have a discussion about the different styles of lifting and the bodies that they typically produce. Post pictures and information about how powerlifting, bodybuilding, Olympic lifting, strongman, and other weight lifting focuses can produce different body types. Google's not giving me anything :((((
BB
saved this dudes pic, mirin my friend
>>37490444
Definitely a bodybuilding physique.
This dude followed a hybrid of bodybuilding and powerlifting. Looks much thicker and joocier imo
>>37490538
Yeah but not as a e s t h e t i c
Is there literally any point in lifting if you can't get your bodyfat below 15%?
Disclaimer: By "cant" i mean that you just don't have the will-power to stay at a caloric deficit consistently to get a low bodyfat, not some magical muh genetics meme.
Because I am one of those people. I just can't fucking do it brahs. I've been lifting for 4 fucking years and I still struggle getting under 20% bodyfat.
I'm only asking this because i've realized after 4 years no matter how good I perform in the gym, no matter how strong I get, no matter how much volume I do. No matter what style of training or routine I do.....if I don't eat a calorie deficit I just will never lose the fucking fat.
It's fucking demoralizing desu.
Lifting makes me hungry all the time as well. I actually feel like I was leaner before I began lifting 4 years ago.
>>37490354
Depends on your goals. You can look pretty good at 15% if you have enough muscle and the correct proportions. I'm guessing you're a lot fatter if you "struggle" to get under 20%, that shit is easy as fuck.
Pic related is the leanest I've ever been.
That was after 3 whole years lifting.
I just don't have the genetics for getting amazing results from lifting. Maybe you're the same?
Most of us have shit genetics anyway, there's a reason why people like zyzz stick out. If everyone could obtain zyzz like body then zyzz wouldn't even be special.
>Yawning in between sets
Why is this looked down on?
Is it just a M E M E?

Are you supposed to "swing" back and forth with the movement or keep your core nice and tight only rowing with your arms?
Info online is contradictory
Also what's the difference between high cable and low cable?
Swing a tiny bit while pulling the weight, this allows you to pull more and get more out of the negative. Don't forget to pull with the elbows and go slow on the negative.
>>37490120
you stretch your back as much as you can as it pulls back and than you retract your shoulders as you pull
Keep core tight, pull in and squeeze shoulderblades together. Don't swing, shouldn't pivot from hips.
Me trying to lose weight.
But if I told my co-workers they would all make fun of me. As if only gay men want to be fit and real man has to be fat and don't care about the looks.
Last friday I finally had the resolve, co-workers invited me to drink beer and eat pig barbecue as always.
I told them I had gastritis and wasn't feeling well. Did I do well? I saw the photos and it made my mouth water, pig barbecue tastes like heaven.
Today people offered me donuts, told em I can't because I had cavities.
If ever told them I don't...

my excuse is i run 10 miles everyday so i can eat like shit and still look great

I always go with the Patrick Bateman response. "You can always be thinner, look better." Give them this look to make them extra butthurt.
>>37489994
1. Stop giving a shit what anyone else thinks or youre never gonna make it. Youre going to be in this situation a trillion more times in your life so you need to get comfortable with the truth.
2. You can fit bbq and beer into your diet if you plan right. Just dont overdo it. Drink a couple light beers, order waters in between, etc., it wont kill you.
how do I feed myself with 10$ a month considering I got vitamin/mineral pills, a microwave and a refrigerator
$10 wouldn't even pay for a day's food where I live.
You could maybe get away with $10/day here, so long as your diet is literally just carrots and bulk chicken breast or eggs.
>>37489884
that sounds good enough to me. but how about my carbs? it's in Seattle.
>>37489900
howtf do you afford to live in seattle and have vitamin pills and shit but not food?
