/fit/, i've been browsing for about 2 months now, so yes, I'm a newfag. But I don't understand a lot of things that go on in this place, and want to. I'm at 16% body fat, been working out for almost 2 months, and hope to get to sub 10% and have massive gains.. so I want to understand some terminology used on this board.
If you know, what are:
>SS and GOMAD, etc.
(I know it's a workout from the sticky, but what the fuck is it tho? Like what does it stand for, and what does it work)
>Why do some people say SS turns you into a T-Rex
>Should you trust the advice you get on fit
>Is the majority of /fit/izens fucking retarded?
>Is bodybuilding.com literal cancer and full of meatheads?
>Is the sticky real or troll?
>What does "Mirin' mean
I see a lot of "mirin" threads where anons describe how girls look at their muscles and they get annoyed, or what? Idk..
>How do some anons have custom ID's with "!" and numbers behind it? And why are they called "trips"?
>How come those people with custom ID's are so hated
>How come almost everyone here supports steroids
>Are fit anons only into bulking and getting big? It seems 99% of anons look down upon cutting and being lean
Thanks guys. If you have anything else you think I don't know, which I probably don't, feel free to add it in.
>inb4 fuck off new fag
well i haven't been browsing fit for long, i've been on 4chan since 2007, if that gets me any cred, which it probably won't.
Oh yeah, what are "wilks"
Lurk more faget

mirin' is from admire you tard
admiring .. mirin'
>>35287597
just got that, lol, but why do they get so weirded out by it?
If you have been here since 2007 and don't know what a trip is, you might just be mildly retarded.
Same goes for being in /fit/ for 2 months and not knowing the answer to most of these questions. You're either lying or retarded.
>>35287564
>>SS and GOMAD, etc.
Starting Strength, google it
>>Why do some people say SS turns you into a T-Rex
because it has more squat volume than anything else
>>Should you trust the advice you get on fit
no
>>Is the majority of /fit/izens fucking retarded?
yes
>>Is bodybuilding.com literal cancer and full of meatheads?
yes
>>Is the sticky real or troll?
real
>>What does "Mirin' mean
admiring
>I see a lot of "mirin" threads where anons describe how girls look at their muscles and they get annoyed, or what? Idk..
board culture
>>How do some anons have custom ID's with "!" and numbers behind it? And why are they called "trips"?
read the 4chan FAQ you nigger
>>How come those people with custom ID's are so hated
because the point of 4chan is anonymity
>>How come almost everyone here supports steroids
lolno
>>Are fit anons only into bulking and getting big? It seems 99% of anons look down upon cutting and being lean
we're 50/50 on that

thanks bro

SS stands for Starting strength
GOMAD stands for Gallon of milk a day (this is for very skinny people looking to gain weight)
Trex meaning they will overly large legs, they say this because they think SS has too much leg work and not enugh arm work, in my opinion, do some sets of chin-ups and you'll be fine.
trust advice if there is a source or if its a consensus, best thing to read the Starting strength book and the programming book both by Mark rippetoe (check amazon for the book, or torrent it)
majority of fit is sort of retarded
I've never been to bb.com
sticky is real
mirin means Admiring
>How do some anons have custom ID's with "!" and numbers behind it? And why are they called "trips"?
check 4chan FAQ, these things you don't really need to know
>How come those people with custom ID's are so hated
its usually a playful hate, depends on the person
>How come almost everyone here supports steroids
its not everyone, just vocal minority
>Are fit anons only into bulking and getting big? It seems 99% of anons look down upon cutting and being lean
In a way, its a meme but its also in a way serious, fit likes to be contrarian and hateful.
>>35287614
I know what a trip is if you mean trips ending in post digit, other than no.
Nobody explains shit on /fit/, they just talk in their own fucking language and if you ask, nobody explains it
>>35287662
To reiterate, if you have been on 4chan since 2007 this would be nothing new to you. I think you found this site a week or two ago, tops.
>>35287662
really, you should just lurk.
but to be fair our board culture (for lack of abetter term) is pretty unique.
IMO fit used to be so so much better a few years ago.
>>35287662
>>35287614
nvm, just figured out it means tripcode.. interesting, never knew that. guess you have to be pretty famous to get a tripcode tho huh
>>35287564
>SS and GOMAD, etc.
Starting Strength, which is a workout designed by a retard for retards
Gallon of Milk a Day, which is a workout designed by same retard responsible for the retarded SS, and for retards
>Why do some people say SS turns you into a T-Rex
Because it's retarded
>Should you trust the advice you get on fit
The majority of people here look down on cardio. That should answer the question emphatically. No. No one here cares about health.
>Is the majority of /fit/izens fucking retarded?
Yes
>Is bodybuilding.com literal cancer and full of meatheads?
Yes, but you'll still find smarter people there than on here
>Is the sticky real or troll?
It recommends Starting Strength, which is for retards
>What does "Mirin' mean
Tales they make up about being admired
>How do some anons have custom ID's with "!" and numbers behind it? And why are they called "trips"?
>How come those people with custom ID's are so hated
>i've been on 4chan since 2007
You have not been on 4chan since 2007.
>How come almost everyone here supports steroids
Same answer I provided for a different question: no one here cares about health and they're all retarded
>Are fit anons only into bulking and getting big? It seems 99% of anons look down upon cutting and being lean
Yeah, it's a bunch of permanently bulking fatfuck retards on SS
