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

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

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.

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
