Tfw when 5'11 at 17 and told I would grow to 6'1
Tfw joined the army and shrunk to 5'9
Tfw will never win at life and I have a bad back on top of it
>italy, spain and greece 5'10 on average
kek, more like 5'8 at most, i'm 6'1 and tower over almost everyone in mediterranean countries, people there are obviously shorter on average than they are here in the UK

How the fuck do you shrink?

I am looking for a gym to get started with stronglifting. I know jackshit about fitness equipment. The gym near me suits my most of my needs, but the only thing that would allow me to do squats and overhead presses is this pathetic looking piece of garbage i outlined with red.
Will it suit me? Or i shouldn't even bother with this gym and keep looking?
that's a squat rack
delete yourself
>>36775216
It's doable but those guards might be too high and you would have to walk out the squat pretty far if you intend to squat to depth
It's not ideal but it's manageable

Thanks

Currently doing Skullcrusher and Triceps Pushdown
Laying down tricep extensions covering the FULL ROM
Watch mr rippetoes video
you don't need several different triceps exercises. you just need one exercise that you can program for consistent progress.
>tfw toned triceps but weak biceps
So... /fit/, i have body measurements today but i drank alcohol last night. We're talking about 2 pints of beer. Does alcohol immediately affect my waistline and whatnot by retaining water or the opposite? (or something like that)
>inb4 dude alcohol lmao
>>36774702
Dude alcohol lmao
Dude alcohol lmao
I'm drinking some right now.
I'm so lonely.
>>36774702
Alcohol will dehydrate you a bit depending on what and how much you drink, but a couple pints of beer should have negligible effects, especially on your body measurements. Don't worry about it senpai desu familia, it's no biggie.
>tfw almost in the 1000 pound club
squat: 220lbs
bench: 135lbs
deadlift: 215lbs
ohp: 60lbs
Good feels thread/Are you a part of the 1000 pound club?

ohp 116
bp 182
sq 308
dl 321

im getting there

I finally benched 180lbs. I've been benching 90lbs for 5 months since I started. Finally feel like I'm getting there and want to share the experience
gj pham my goal right now is 205 bench
Tfw finally hit 2plate bench on Tuesday
I think this is the most motivated I've ever been to lift
I hit a new PR of a 175x5 DL about 20 minutes ago.
It's not much compared to a lot of you here, but I'm proud of it.
I keep going up every DL-day too, I'm both excited and scared to see where my stall point will be. I feel I can push to a 200x5 over the next week or so, the 175x5 wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
If I hit 225x5 in the next two weeks then I will have accomplished 1pl8 & 2pl8 within 30 days.
>be fatass (6'1" 280 lbs)
>going to the gym and doing intensive cardio
>increasing by 5 min every night till I get up to 45 min
>every night i have to eat an increasingly what feels like a disgusting amount of food to keep up with my caloric needs
This is an abstract hell
why are you eating to keep up if you are trying to lose weight
dipshit
>>36774335
Because I have to eat to lose weight, I'm not OVER eating by any means, just what I need to.
Even then 2400 calories feels like a lot.
>>36774346
Wtf youre trying to lose weight and are eating 2400. Try like 1700 and keep lowering it
>tfw wife's boyfriends son is starting to lift
I think he's gonna make it bros..
>>36772525
Good for him, tell him to read the sticky or coach him.
>>36772525
kill yourself. LOW T!
This meme keeps getting better.
Running or bicycling, /fit/?
>pic unrelated
Running is quicker, riding a bike is more fun but takes longer. Take your pick.
>>36772143
How is running quicker, if you can speed up to and over 30km/h?
>>36772129
I want a tomboy girlfriend with blue hair and a leather jacket
Biking over running because it's fun, doesn't fuck your knees as bad, and asthmatic/fat people can do it
Embarrassing gym shit.
>Back day, just finished last set of barbell shrugs
>I always like to do static holds to increase grip strength at the end of my back workkouts
>last set, throw on 405, dont even think to put the fucking clips on
>hold for 20 seconds, go for re rack on hooks
>miss it by a cunt hair on one side
>right side lowers, 4 plates slide off and fall 2 feet
>struggle to keep left side from doing same (yea fucking right)
>turn around, entire gym is staring at me
>swole black bro jokes with me about it, says he did the same shit last week
>i calmly put away the 8 plates, do 3 sets of forearms
>leave embarrassed as fuck but i'll be damned if i show it
Anyone else goof in church today?

shit happens yo

Guys is lifting literally a hobby for autists and outcats? I have noticed that the regular guys at the gym (who are also jacked) are lonely and awkard retards (just like the majority of /fit/)..while the normies usually quit the gym within few weeks or months.
What triggered me to create this thread, is that the other day,while at the gym I ran into some old high school mates who are now your regular weak skinnyfat normies. The thing is, although they look much worse than me, they seem to have fun in their life, like friendships, parties, chicks etc..while I'm eating chicken breats 3 times a day and shitpost on /fit/?
Is lifting a thing for the lonely people?
Are you one of them /fit/ ?
Why did you have to post this? I just got back from the Gym.... I'm 30 with no friends.... I have never been able to shake my autism...
I had a bad day... and I see this, and you call me out. Why anon? I don't even have the will....
>>36770412
Sorry mate, if that makes you feel better, you are not the only one
I'm 23 and I have no friends...Last time I had a friend was 7 years ago. I only got you guys ;...;
>>36770367
IKTFB sometimes lifting is the only thing I've got to keep myself occupied. I'd trade being a jacked mother fucker, to just be a normie
I'm 20, 130-135 lbs, 5'6" male. I've been working out 3 times a week since late January and I've seen very few results as of yet, progress pics are showing nothing. I'm neither losing nor gaining weight.
Even though I'm normal weight I've got a bit of a belly since I don't have a ton of muscle. I'm looking on going a bulk/cut cycle. Which would you recommend I do first? Pic is me
