Why does /fit/ hate crossfit?
>green bumper
>10 lbs
you get injured real fukin fast from these exrecises, doing 200 crossfit pullups means you have strong legs, you go to classes, functional strength=dyel strength.
8-12 reps, 3-5 sets=hypertrophy
3-8 reps, 3-5 sets=strength
2000 reps, 600 sets=wasting your fukin time and joints and abusing babyweight

You realize crossfit isn't all about circuit workouts and doing things for time, right? Those are just gimmicky WODs meant to be a burnout at the end of your lifts.
Jason "Autismo" Blahino says the top 5 exercises for general strength/fitness are these:
>conventional deadlift
>push press
>front squat
>weighted Chinup
>weighted Dip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKEr8yxbiHg
Why should I, as a non-competitive lifter, not concentrate on these 5 instead of the "big three" or the "big three + OHP + Row" ?
I actually agree, minus the deadlifts.
Squat
Press
Front Squat
Weighted Chinup
Weighted Dip

would do you good. do what you want. results probably wouldn't be that different.
also pls go, jason

Idk why but the guy in the image seems like a fugly alien for some reason.
I was stopped at the gym yesterday by another patron who wanted to inform me my squat technique was wrong and dangerous. He advised me to change my form to what is normally described as a high bar squat: head higher, back more vertical, bar on my traps, etc. This isn't the first time someone explained to me how I can squat better if I change my form to high bar either.
Anyway, I have two requests: can someone explain if low bar squats really are a meme since no one in the real world knows what I'm doing despite them being relatively big guys.
And second,...

It's not a meme, low bar squats are suppoused to keep your back in a more natural position, similar to what it does when you deadlift and powerclean.
They aren't a meme, but it's not what the high school football coach taught, so most people are not familiar. Low bar is a much more technical lift, so it's never going to be taught as widely.

Do you have a bucket list /fit/?
What are some things you want to do before you die?
Kill myself
fuck a guy, just to try it. no homo
I have only one thing that I really want to accomplish and that is to create a word which is added to a dictionary (and not some phony online dictionary, but something like Oxford).
Though it's not really about getting a word into a dictionary which is that important, but rather to create a word which gains a soul of its own by travelling from mouth to mouth for many generations.
I recently went on a diet, 4 months ago, I starded at 247, i'm 5'9 and I am currently 205.
I Legit cannot see a difference, except in my face when i turn to an angle. Can someone please help me ? I heard strrangers will be able to see the difference mostly.
Also what do you estimate to be my before bf% and my current bf%?
>>36885322
it looks like you started at around 40-45% body fat. Most visual changes don't start until you lose around 15-20% body fat from where you started.
With that said, there is some visual differences in your before and after photos.
Keep what you are doing up.
Keep lifting, keep dieting. Just lead an active lifestyle.
Learn to be OK with the fact that it will take a long time before you get to a point where you are satisfied. Learn to love the process.
>>36885386
What do you estimate my current BF? and thank you for the inspiring words, man.
>>36885400
use this calculator: http://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/bodyfat
If you don't have a tape measurer, print out a ruler http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/paper_rulers/ and use your phone charging cable, or belt to measure the body parts.
>mfw its beer season
So long cut. Maybe the next year...
are you some kind of weak willed faggot?
Beer isn't *that* high-calorie, just drink it in moderation. Like a bottle or two a day is doable by compensating by eating less of something else.
> beer season
> maybe next year
you do realize that if it's a particular season now, it will be that season again next year, right? That's kinda how seasons work.

People who will never make it. :
1. OP
my doc prescribed me venlafaxinum
anybody here been on this shit, how did you feel?
also antidepressants general
Just got Sertraline. First time using it today.
Taking prozac
It's calmed me down a lot. I was so angry and malicious before without really realizing it. Honestly did not anticipate it'd work so well
I did get nausea/stomach pain initially, but that passed. I'd recommend sticking through initial anti depressant sides if they're bearable, most seem to reportedly go away once your body adjusts
>>36883368
What did they perscribe them to you for?
/plg/- powerlifting general
where competing powerlifters come to chat and also help out those new to the sport

Hey /fit/.
I'm in a real tight spot, I need to lose all this shit in pic related.
I have about a month and a week to lose it.
Is it possible? Can you recommend any exercises that can help me lose this? Any dietary plans.
I've checked the help thread but this is mostly just to ask if it's possible to turn myself into a normal looking fella.
I'm really desperate if you can't already tell.
>>36871436
Of course you can OP!
But in less than 2 months? Kek of course not, it would take you a few years minimum, but you don't seem to have the mindset of discipline for it if you want immediate results.
>>36871471
A few years minimum?
The fuck?
I hope you're kidding me.
I am prepared to go on an extreme diet and workout everyday.
>>36871471
Come on, this can't be for real.
I've seen the huge fatsos on biggest loser go down like 14 pounds a week.
If I run alot and do that kind of shit I surely can lose the weight needed in a months time? right?
Please, jesus christ, I don't want to be ashamed of my shit body anymore.
Whats the best flavor of pic related?
>>36869822
There is only one flavor, and that is vanilla.
Urgh, this thread? Really?
Double Chocolate x x x :3
Chocolate mint or chocolate coconut.

sometimes i notice my beta friend physically recoils and hunches his shoulders when walking into a group of people/ talking to a girl/ telling a speech. Any idea why he does that?
I understand some guys not wanting to take their shirts off at a pool due to body issues. But this is like preemptively making yourself out to be a loser before a conversation starts.
>>36881727
You're a sad man
>>36881831
Confidence issues, I used to have them. Just tell him he does it and that he'll get much better results if he forces himself to stand straight, chest out and keep eye contact. Eventually it becomes second nature
>>36881862
ive told him this multiple times, even nudged him to do it. He just never responds to it, says he looks ugly when his shoulders are back. It's getting to the point where people are making comments about it, and im being forced to stand up for him and make myself out to be a social castoff.
Tbh, I don't really mind. But it is kind of annoying that he won't really try and change. Hopefully it's not longstanding

So is milk good or bad?
http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g6015
>causes higher inflammation, oxidative stress
I thought this was all vegan propaganda and stuff. But now when I think about it I feel better since o stopped drinking milk. I stopped for unrelated reasons though. Especially my heart was more fucked when I drank like 2 liters of whole milk every day (I am underweight lanklet)
friendly bump
Na bro
Get organic whole milk and drink a gallon a day
2500+cal
Tons of protein
Tons of carbs
Good fat
I've been drinking a gallon plus 5-6 meals and gainz are comin on. I'd just be sure to drink organic
>>36879167
/fit/ says milk is good, so it's bad. Always do the opposite of what /fit/ says and you'll be alright.
