Fuck off, Nick, you normalfaggot cunt.
Getting fit won't fix our ugly faces.
>>25698852
>you normalfaggot cunt.
First, you don't know shit about me and assuming you do is the most "normie" crap you could ever do. I'm questioning your non-normality, because that was really dumb. I'm a certified "non-normie" but I resent using the term. By calling yourself something else, you may become it without truly be it.
That said, you're wrong. Getting fit does fix faces more than you realise.
Moreover, who the fuck cares? Are you a girl? When's the last time you saw that a man's face matters tremendously to a woman?
Thirdly, why does women's appreciation matter so much to you? Are you not aware that it's a pussy-repelent when women realise you care very much what they think as if they were your superiors? Women don't want to have to worry about that kind of womanly crap, and they know how shit it is, because it's their shit, it's women bullshit, and it's the last thing a woman wants in a man.
>>25698928
Facial attractiveness is everything.
If you don't have these, you're fucked:
>big skull
>deepset eyes
>big jaw and chin
>big cheekbones
>straight and symmetrical nose
>tall (>6ft)
>wide shoulders (>20")
These are all masculine traits.
Only 1 of these can be fixed by lifting and that's widening your shoulders by working your delts and back. The rest are entirely dependent on hormone levels you were exposed to in your mother's womb, pre-puberty and puberty
Fuck off, Nick, you normalfaggot cunt
Any supplements you recommend for depression?
>>25698928
>Getting fit does fix faces more than you realise.
Fuck off with this meme. Look, if you robots want to get fit to be strong and at least somewhat healthy, go ahead. But it does not fix your looks and does not get you girls unless you're lucky. And that's not enough motivation for you to continue anyway.
And why the fuck are you giving this basic advice when you can learn all of it and more on /fit/.
>>25698852
>Getting fit won't fix our ugly faces.
The guy in pic related probably thought the same thing. Granted, it may not work for everyone, but it's worth a shot. Worst case scenario you'll still be healthier.
>>25699011
>Facial attractiveness is everything.
This is what Chad wants you to think so you don't realise that it actually isn't. This is done solely so you don't become competition for them. Trust me. It's all they have; they realise that if a man has BOTH intelligence, personality, AND a good body, you'd become top competition to those who only have a body. Women love a hot bod, but if there's a charming personality in it, it's even better, and sometimes more important, especially in the long run.
What's worse than an ugly face is this absolutely insane pessimism you guys have. It'd turn off anyone, rightly so. This, more than anything, is a problem.
Your list is pure bullshit. I don't have half that shit and never had a problem. These are your illusions: you'd rather believe THIS is why you're single rather than to accept that YOU are the reason why YOU are single, and that there are things you can do to change that. Face it.
>These are all masculine traits.
Caring this much about appearance is not a masculine trait. Women absolutely despise men who spend as much time on appearance as they do. They don't even respect it in themselves, but in a man, it's even worse.
>Only 1 of these can be fixed by lifting and that's widening your shoulders by working your delts and back. The rest are entirely dependent on hormone levels you were exposed to in your mother's womb, pre-puberty and puberty
Quite wrong, but you'll defend your limitations with more energy than you'd try to improve.
You want excuses, you don't want to change. You want to allow yourself pessimism as a defensive measure against trying, because you're scared you may fail. If it's impossible, then you cannot fail because you cannot even try. That's how you want to see things, but it's not how they are.
If you ever change your mind, I'll be there.

Calling it a meme doesn't make it any less real.
>But it does not fix your looks and does not get you girls unless you're lucky.
It fixes your looks, definitely. Luck has little to do with girls. Idiots who think they're lucky just don't realise they were actively chased by girls; girls make sure to make it look like luck, but it isn't.
> And that's not enough motivation for you to continue anyway.
It shouldn't be. Your motivation should be yourself, not "being appreciated by girls", that's pussy repellent.
>And why the fuck are you giving this basic advice when you can learn all of it and more on /fit/.
Guess, champ. These people aren't the most likely to go to /fit/ and read, and even so, the sticky isn't God's word and I believe my own guide to be more appropriate for this demographic (or anyone who doesn't care apriori).
The guy I'm talking with right now, do you think he goes to /fit/ ever? No. That's why I'm here.

I've heard that it taps into the muscles as well. Is it true?
I'm just about 2-3% too high bodyfat to be ottermode and I don't know if I want to bother with dieting just for some extra aesthetics (that people won't notice anyway because I wear clothes)
>>25699105

Saved that pic. It works for everyone, at various degrees, but everyone looks better when they're fitter. I've never seen an example that went the other way around. inb4 anorexia.
>>25699105
You're assuming we're fat. We did a strawpoll last year and most people on /r9k/ were skinny. My bodyfat is 10% and I look like a subhumanoid. There's no fixing my ugly subhuman face, unless I fork out thousands for plastic surgery procedures.

>you're a tripfag
For the purpose of this thread exclusively. Besides, tripfags are the most autistic cunts on this website. I'm only using trips here so people know it's really me. It's done for honesty purposes, so I can't pretend to be someone else or hide behind anonymity. You still know nothing about me, just that my posts are from the same person. That's all.
>i will concede you might be a robutt
I'd never call myself a robot; the reason why I am not a normie is the farthest thing from being a robot there is. Besides, I believe that, when you're different, you must learn about other people so you understand them, instead of assuming they function like you and get offended all the time because you think they do things for the reasons YOU would do them. That's both immature and unconstructive.
>but you are a tripfag, your thread is designed to attention whore
How so? You don't know my face, or me, all you have is the ability to tell which ones are my post. In this, it's not much different from boards that use ID. I never use my trip anywhere else but in my fit r9k threads. You can't argue against this.
Do you know how long it took me to write you guys a guide? If I wanted attention, I'd post my butt on /fit/, with promises of showing cock. Don't insult me, anon.
>but you can't have my respect
If you did as little as give me a chance to earn it, I guarantee I would. I don't have it now solely because you don't want to give it. It's in your hands, not mine. I'm not here to gain your respect, just to give you a chance to get better. respect is a means to get there, but not why I'm here. My trip doesn't make me any less anonymous than I was before.

No, I'm going to save up for plastic surgery. Double jaw surgery and rhinoplasty
i'm not fat enough to where i look at myself in the mirror and my like biological instincts kick in and tell my mind that i need to lose some weight or i'm fucked.
i'm around 5'11" and i weigh somewhere between 140-150 lbs. all of my body fat is on my stomach and in my love handles and it kind of grosses me out, but not to the point where i won't drink a bunch of dr pepper every day or snack on chips all day.
i almost never eat full meals unless you could fast food that i get a few times a week so i'm not gaining weight, but i'm not really losing it either.
i want to die.
>>25699204
>Not a good advice, to be honesto. Eat your fucking veggies.
Stop with that shit. On the grand scheme of things, it doesn't. A calorie is a calorie. The people who don't know what a calorie is won't care about the finer details. You get to healthy eating gradually. If you annoy people with details they can't even understand, no wonder they don't try (and many are only looking for the first excuse to give up, and I won't give them that).
All calories are the same because it's a measurement unit, like a meter. All meters are the same, whether it's a meter of wood or a meter of concrete: it's a fucking meter, it's the same length. 1 calorie of energy is always 1 calorie of energy.
Food is different in other respects, but when talking about energy, it's the same. It's logical.
>>25699210
>I've heard that it taps into the muscles as well. Is it true?
Not at first. It takes over 3 days of eating nothing for your body to start doing that. Easily regained afterwards.
You can eat less and you'll lose the extra fat easily.
Remember, all that's esthetic has its basis in health: looking good = looking healthy.
>>25699223
>You're assuming we're fat. We did a strawpoll last year and most people on /r9k/ were skinny. My bodyfat is 10% and I look like a subhumanoid. There's no fixing my ugly subhuman face, unless I fork out thousands for plastic surgery procedures.
Not him, but I am aware of that, that's why there's a part about skellies in the guide. Looking bigger would work out for you, why haven't you considered that?
You don't need surgery. You probably aren't as ugly as you think.
>Sorry, friend. I know your heart's in the right place, but the face is EVERYTHING.
How many women have you fucked to think you're so knowledgeable about them?
>>25699328
>No, I'm going to save up for plastic surgery. Double jaw surgery and rhinoplasty
I don't advise this. Surgery is almost always noticeable, and there isn't a single woman out there who finds that sexy, especially on a man. It'll be like carving your insecurity in your very flesh, signalling to all that you're scared about what you look like and would rather spend money on this shit rather than work out.
Short of being deformed, I don't recommend doing anything to your face. You're at risk of counting on this operation to save you, and you'll realise it won't and you may get depressed after that.

well like i said im about 5'11" and 140-150 pounds. i am atrannyand i want a completely flat, cute stomach. i also want a bigger butt and thighs and i figured i could achieve this by jogging/walking a few miles every other day, but i have a pretty serious back injury and i can't run yet, and i'm not sure when i will be able to. it seems like my only option for weight loss is eating very little, but i already do that, and i don't really have the workout option.

>>25699485
>Do you have any tips for someone a bit overwhelmed with the number of things required to get /fit/?
Yes.
The main thing being this: it's not an exercise in absolute precision. You cannot fuck up the whole thing with one misstep. I've casually stormed McDonald's on my journey to fitness every once in a while, I've eaten entire jars of strawberry and assfucked nutella, and I was fine. You can't suddenly fuck up. It's all in the long run.
None of it is really hard when you know what you're doing. All of it is going to give results by itself.
Just go easy on yourself. Don't buy into the myth that it's really, really hard, because that's what fat people and companies want you to think.
I'll help you all the way.
[email protected] for later questions.
Counting calories is easy and necessary. Proper form too, protein don't need to be counted, just eats lots of food with protein in them, macros you don't need to care for at all as long as you get your protein (if the goal is getting muscle mass). You can get shredded by losing fat when you have muscles.
>>25699500
>figured i could achieve this by jogging/walking a few miles every other day,
You assumed wrong. Marathon runners don't have big butts or big thighs. Squats are a good option for this. Better than running. Walking won't do shit.
>back injury
All the more reason not to run.
> but i already do that, and i don't really have the workout option.
You probably still eat too much for fat loss, but I doubt you need to lose more. Working out is an option for everyone. What do you think is the problem?

If you're a complete beginner none of that really matters except form and even then do light weight with shitty form for long enough and you'll eventually feel what you're doing wrong

If you want to maintain your weight, you can try eating according to your appetite. It works fine for me as long as I only eat food. (no soda, sweets, chips etc.)
I used to count calories when I was losing weight though.

I'm 6'1and weigh like 190lbs and I'm not sure if I calculated wrong but when I personally checked my bf% it was ridiculously high. I have about a 37-38in waist, but I'm pretty proportionally thin. In clothes you'd never really say I'm fat I don't think. But knowing how much bf% I'd have to lose for my abs to show creates a bit of an issue.
The issue is, should I be cutting when I start, to go ahead and burn that fat? Should I be bulking so my muscles build properly and I don't stall? Or should I eat at maintenance so I find a happy medium?
Also I was doing SL 5x5 and enjoying that but I kinda lost steam after a couple weeks, I need to start again and I'm curious if you would recommend any specific regimen?
>>25699622
You're probably right but I can't help but think I'd gain at least half a point in attractiveness if my eyes were more striking and less average. I've gotten compliments on them being brown but it's just a personal feel.
>>25699108
No, girls will settle for a dood that is good looking, they don't give a shit about personality.
>>25699671
>In clothes you'd never really say I'm fat I don't think.
I've been the same and got tired of explaining why I skipped lunch to my workmates. Nobody believed I had any fat to lose, everyone thought I was some anorexic maniac. Truth remained that I was a skinnyfat for real.
>But knowing how much bf% I'd have to lose for my abs to show creates a bit of an issue.
No issue there: burn the fat.
>The issue is, should I be cutting when I start, to go ahead and burn that fat?
You can do both. The only difference is how you'll look for a while.
>Should I be bulking so my muscles build properly and I don't stall?
Definitely not. You already have excess fat, there's no need to bulk. Bulking is only done to ensure your body has all it needs to build muscle, but protein remains the main thing needed, not fat. Fat is basically stored energy, not used energy, and that's why it isn't necessary to get fat per se. Eat at maintenance, or even less, and you'll be fine. I built muscle as I cut and got both muscles and fatloss.
Is this a good beginner workout sheet?

>>25699671
>Also I was doing SL 5x5 and enjoying that but I kinda lost steam after a couple weeks, I need to start again and I'm curious if you would recommend any specific regimen?
Try SS. SS has more explosive exercises to do, which is good for a different kind of strength.
Generally, pick something you enjoy doing.

Only if they are dumb and have no personality of their own. Otherwise it will matter. Don't settle for a stupid bitch who will be an unsufferable cunt. Get someone who's both hot and smart, especially if you are smart. No intelligent man can suffer a female fool for very long, no matter the body.

No wonder.
>How do I convince my sleepy groggy lazy wageslave self to trudge all the way to the gym and lift things again?
First, you learn. You don't need to go daily, and in fact, it's better if you don't. Every other day, max, unless you REAAAALLY want to do something every day, and then I recommend alternating with cardio.
First, question: what kind of work out?
>>25699832
>Many thanks for taking the time to write all that for me. Will start looking into them right now.
Very welcome. (It's pasta, it's the program I recommend for beginners since free weight is the best, and DB are the cheapest and can be done at home.)
Make sure to save the guide up there, it explains how to lift.

>What are some good body weight exercises for a poor, underweight robot?
None. Bodyweight should only be used as a second-rate sort of exercises or to complete a program.
What's your goal? I cannot tell you what's best until I know what you want in the end.
Guys, keep up with the follow-up questions I ask you. I need more info, generally, I need to know what you want for your own body.
>>25700005
I want to get stronger and to have some definition.

I got some decent gains by doing some pushups, handstand pushups, pullups, and leg raises (first while lying on the ground, then suspended with my arms).
>>25700113
Say no more.
Know this: bodyweight is less efficient and more laborious than free weights. The dumbbell program is good for you if you want something cheap and be able to work out at home. The program I posted is perfect for you; how you should lift is detailed in the guide under "how to lift".
Please read it, save it if you can't read it now.

Okay good to know about the bulking and cutting thing, that's a bit of weight off my mind. As far as switching to SS I'll do some reading, I could never really quite decide if the whole T-REX MODE GOMAD RIPPLETITS thing was all memeing or not. I'm not really so much in it for the strength as I am to look and feel good. I kind of want a sleek, shredded physique. Think less Batman or Superman and more Spider-Man I guess. That was another reason I'd shyd away from SS.
I lost a lot of weight in the past couple years, from 320lbs to 175lbs, but I did it all through diet, no exercise at all. So I'm much thinner, and that's great, but I'm still all flabby. I want to change that, get rid of the fat still hanging around my midsection, and put some muscle on.
Should I start working out while still eating at a deficit to lose this stubborn fat first, and then gradually increase my cal intake and lift heavy for muscle, or should I do muscle first, or what?
>>25700190
>T-REX MODE GOMAD RIPPLETITS
Nobody should. Gomad is for skinny people who need to gain weight ONLY.
Consider DB if you want to avoid t-rex.
> I'm not really so much in it for the strength as I am to look and feel good
Understand this: you look good when you are actually healthy and strong. Strength = esthetics. It all comes together or not at all. Don't fall for traps like "esthetic program", it'll be a strength program, period. Muscles look good. Body-builders aren't healthy. And their strength is limited.
> I kind of want a sleek, shredded physique.
All you need is to lose the fat, for that. Caloric deficit and you're done.
You don't have to get big to do SS: Daisy Ridley lifts, and she is strong, but is she big? No.
>>25700216
>I lost a lot of weight in the past couple years, from 320lbs to 175lbs, but I did it all through diet, no exercise at all. So I'm much thinner, and that's great, but I'm still all flabby.
As expected. Still good that you lost weight.
>Should I start working out while still eating at a deficit to lose this stubborn fat first, and then gradually increase my cal intake and lift heavy for muscle, or should I do muscle first, or what?
I'd recommend burning the remaining fat. That means eat at maintenance, don't worry too much about it, and start training strength. No need to bulk at all if you already have excess fat. If you want to look better sooner, decrease cal intake. Muscles don't need you to be fat, they need protein.

Okay friendo.
I'm 5'9" 190 and I want to get a thigh gap and lose my gut. Would that be 150~?
I am too poor to afford any weights, and live a half hour away from the nearest town. I couldn't afford the gas to go there more than once a weak, much less a membership at a gym. I've been looking at startbodyweight.com for some exercises.
It's nice because BW exercises are simple and I generally know the correct form or can do it by reading. My internet connection won't let me watch youtube videos.
As for cardio, I can't run for shit. I got splints before I finished week one of C25k, and I can't skip rope for a minute without fucking it up. I can only skip for 3-5 total anyway.
Dietary wise, The meals I prep are generally healthy. Bacon and eggs over medium, with brown rice and veggies. Baked chicken with potatoes and steamed broccoli and carrots. I'm a shitty picky eater and the only vegetable I can stomach besides corn, and potatoes are broccoli and carrots, steamed. It's the easy shit that fucks me. Ramen, spaghetti-o's, PB&J. I eat a lot of that shit. I have dropped sodas completely for years now though, and I can generally avoid junk like candy and stuff.
I've lost about 40lbs in the past year just with passive diet changes, but i've plateaued recently. I need some simple, easy meal plans that I can buy all the ingredients for on the cheapest of cheaps. Something I can strictly adhere to, and not vague shit.
Can you help me?

You don't have a hundred bucks for some dumbbells and weights? Another thing you can consider is getting big plastic jugs and fill them with water. 1 liter = 1 kilo.
But all right, here's the bodyweight Bible. Each column is one exercise with its variations, from easiest to most difficult.
For reps, read guide and apply the same principles as when you lift, roughly. Never more than 20 reps, because it becomes pointless. If you can do 20 easy, just switch to harder version.
It's true you can lose weight eating 1000 kcal of MC Donald's a day, but your body will not get all the supliments it needs to function, it doesn't only need calories :^)

I don't know what I want. I don't even know why i continue to lift. Maybe it's just become routine after all these years. Maybe it's just become another form of escapism.
Nothings really improved...
>>25700449
>You're clearly someone who hasn't been around women much
Or your probably just a Chad. I've seen every other eye color be complimented before, never brown eyes.
Do you have any good dumbbell exercises that you can recommend?
>>25700558
Indeed.
Consider this: people who eat junkfood and drink sodas all the time, every day, will be more impressed to know that even on THEIR diet, they can stop swelling up, and even stabilise, and even LOSE WEIGHT. In the long run, it's better for a fat fuck not to get fatter than otherwise, even if they eat the same crap still.
Doing so is the first step to getting better. Most of you don't understand that taking that one first step is crucial. No point in scaring fatties away with stuff they'll do later anyway. if they don't take that one first step, they'll never go anywhere.
Fat fucks don't care about the finer points until they understand the first bigger points.
Ok, Nick. Peep this situation:
> 20 yo. 5"7' 121lbs
> midgetskeleton.jpg
> NEET, so plenty of time and bored as fuck, but absolutely 0 motivation for anything
> I literally spend 80% of the day in my bed
> Saw those thread and wanted to know what I'm capable off
> Results: I managed to make 20 pushups, 20 sit ups, 20 squats, 3 pullups (I have a bar at my door) and about 2 minutes of rope jumping before I had to throw up
> Fuckingpathetic.jpg
> But if I repeat those exercices every second day and slightly increase the amount will I get more /fit/?
Pls respond

>I don't know what I want. I don't even know why i continue to lift. Maybe it's just become routine after all these years. Maybe it's just become another form of escapism.
If you lift, you want strength.
>Nothings really improved...
Are you regularly increasing the weight you lift? That much is necessary for progress. Small increments, yes, but increasing.
Get enough sleep? Eat enough? Enough protein?
>Or your probably just a Chad. I've seen every other eye color be complimented before, never brown eyes.
I'm definitely not a chad. Perhaps you don't have brown eyes. None of the women who complimented my eyes did so in public. The point is that if I had had blue eyes, they'd have complimented my blue eyes. Or green.
Eyes are sexy because they belong to someone they find sexy, for any variety of reason.
>>25700593
All this program:
>>25699793
>>25700618
not if you don't eat and gradually increase
>>25700618
Don't be so harsh on yourself. 20 pushups is more than what most people can do. It's a lot of pushups. It's also because you're skinny and light that you can do so many. The average adult cannot do one pushup, know it.
Know that all these things are trained. You become good at them, you don't suddenly be good at them. You'll see progress and that's all that should matter to you. Do not compare with anyone else: nobody cares, nobody should care. It doesn't matter to you what someone else can do. Does it? If it does, drop that shit instantly. It's irrelevant to your interest. All that matters is what you could do and what you'll be able to do in the future.
And yes to your question, you will improve. Very quickly in the beginning.
These results are good, 2 minutes of rope jumping is a lot, especially for a beginner. Don't be pessimistic.
When I started, I could lift babytoys for 5 minutes and then had to stop. Have no shame. Small beginnings aren't a problem, but your scores aren't small at all, so relax.
>>25698800
I just did a pull-up for the first time yesterday. Should I train with:
A: Assisted pull-up
B: Negatives
C: Other
>>25700758
If you can do one, do one. Rest, repeat. You can also do negatives to do more.
Here's a program.

lifting + work basically gets rid of all my free time. it also increases sleep requirements so i end up sleeping 12+hrs on the weekends.
>>25700713
Thanks, Nick. I have to change my mindset a bit and then I'm trying to start working out regularly. Maybe I'll even break my last record of doing it longer than a week.

Have you joined a serious dating website? The sort that targets "demanding" clients?

I haven't experienced that. It can be that you don't sleep enough during the week. Oversleeping may not be a good thing, especially if you feel like shit afterwards.
>>25700781
Thx bro. I'm trying to get good enough with bodyweight to do calisthenics next summer when I don't have a gym.

>Thanks, Nick. I have to change my mindset a bit and then I'm trying to start working out regularly. Maybe I'll even break my last record of doing it longer than a week.
Put the blinders on: choose a program (my DB full body, for instance) and do it for a month. Consider nothing, just do it. Put music on, have fun, spend yourself, enjoy the feeling, enjoy the shower afterwards, add a rewarding fap session after the work out if that motivates you (working out horny generally helps in that case) and generally make it so that you actually enjoy what you do, that it becomes its own reward.
Keep at it and you'll see quick results at first. A month is enough to get some hard muscles where there's not much right now.
You got my email, don't hesitate.
5'0, 150lbs
I would like to be 120lbs (inb4 reeeeeeee wimin)
Have been doing crunches, situps and squats every 2nd or 3rd day
This is me >>25696286
>how do i get over the tiredness after exercise?
I can't concentrate well on anything that requires thinking/focusing the whole day after exercise. It will soon become an issue because uni assignments will rekt me.
I have for the past 2 years been trying to get into jogging and giving up everytime. First i'll jog 1-2 times a week, 25-40min each time, then it becomes once every two weeks then i just stop altogether. After any jogging i can only lay limp and do nothing (cant even focus on vidya) and it makes me really hate exercising.
>feeling hungry
I tried to google this. Is it good or bad to feel hungry sometimes? I am feeling hungry so often since i switched to this new way of eating
I'm trying to substitute every meal with some kinda combination of
>boiled broccoli/cauliflower/carrot/lima bean
>boiled or baked chicken breast
>steamed white fish (usually common coral trout)
>brown rice
>boiled shiitake mushroom
>eggs
>yogurt
>strawberries
>apples
>sliced ham
I only drink plain water, camomile tea or green tea
It's only day 3 of this permanent new lifestyle diet but i caved in and ate a chocolate bar today
Also i am a shit cook and take hours to cook, in fact i cook 2 meals in a go so i don't have to cook again but it's tiring and troublesome. tastes bad too. i am so so used to just having ready-to-eat food before this. I'm worried i'll cave in in a few days and return to my old shitty lifestyle and shitty diet.
>>25700840
>Have you joined a serious dating website? The sort that targets "demanding" clients?
oh there's no way i'm going to do that until i'm single digit body fat. for dating sites it's all pictures (i am horrible in pics) and since i'm a manlet i have to have a really good face and body to even have a chance

>I haven't experienced that. It can be that you don't sleep enough during the week. Oversleeping may not be a good thing, especially if you feel like shit afterwards.
i stopped lifting for 2 weeks around christmas break and i got so much more restful sleep compared to when i was lifting. i'm also nocturnal and i have to get up early for work at about 9:30. by default i will sleep until around noon
>>25700795
You most likely aren't that small. Most women aren't that deep and it won't matter much anyway. It's purely psychological for women, and you can easily make up for it by being confident and have a hot bod.
People will attack you if you make them feel insecure; if they feel insecure because of your sucess, too fucking bad for them.
>>25700830
>I feel tired and sleepy no matter how much I rest. My mind is constantly foggy, can't focus on anything or get motivated.

No.
Extremely, suicidal thoughts almost every second.

I've been lifting for 3 years. If already reached my "goal body".
The only reason why I even started was because I was a NEET and was bored with my life.
And I meant with my life. Lifting hasn't really improved my life.

But eye color does change a persons sex appeal. You're probably just good looking so girls give you compliments in hopes you stay with them. Either that, or your brown eyes actually suit you.
Reality is, brown eyes are boring as hell. They have no striking features to them. Where as green or blue eyes are a lot more alluring.
>>25700949
That's a good tip desu senpai.
>>25700880
Drop crunches. Do situps instead.
>I can't concentrate well on anything that requires thinking/focusing the whole day after exercise.
This isn't normal, but perhaps not related to exercising directly. Do you drink coffee more than usual when you work out?
>First i'll jog 1-2 times a week, 25-40min each time,
Consider doing it less if you get bored or too tired.
>then it becomes once every two weeks then i just stop altogether.
Run with an objective: run to a shop, run to a friend, or from a friend, try to tie some mandatory objective to your running. Also, run the same path to see your progress: getting winded farther than the previous time will be motivation.
>After any jogging i can only lay limp and do nothing (cant even focus on vidya) and it makes me really hate exercising
Are you CERTAIN that you eat enough?
>Is it good or bad to feel hungry sometimes? I am feeling hungry so often since i switched to this new way of eating
My guess is that you're not eating enough and that's why you get so tired and why your body doesn't handle exercising well enough. How many calories a day do you eat?
>It's only day 3 of this permanent new lifestyle diet but i caved in and ate a chocolate bar today
Drop the "diet" idea. Get healthy stuff and everything else you like, and count your calories. Allow yourself chocolate whenever you want, provided you stay under your alloted calories. There is no need to be overly strict, it's counterproductive as you've experienced yourself.
I'd say, on the whole, you need to make changes because it's not working well and will fail eventually.
Your own cooking shouldn't taste like shit. Here's a simple recipe: can of beans plus sliced cheese. Cook the beans in their tomatoe sauce, softly, then drop a slice of cheese or two on top, let it melt, mix. You get cheesy beans, which taste great and are easy to cook. Full of protein.
Cooking shouldn't take hours. I'll give you more tips about cooking in another post.

>oh there's no way i'm going to do that until i'm single digit body fat. for dating sites it's all pictures (i am horrible in pics) and since i'm a manlet i have to have a really good face and body to even have a chance
OK. Wait for when you're ready, then. Just date women who are smaller than you, or who don't mind, and it won't be a problem.
Stop calling yourself a manlet, also. Also, you look good in good pics, so just select good pics.
>>25700892
>early for work at about 9:30. by default i will sleep until around noon
Try working out at a different time. Warm up sufficiently.

>Extremely, suicidal thoughts almost every second.
Depression, mild or worse, will wear you down, due to the anxiety side of it.
Exercising will save you, also fresh showers. Also, sleep 8 hours, no more, see if that works better.
Eat well, eat enough.
I'm mixing all the anons, so I forget which one you are.

>You can't be confident with a 13 cm needle dick.
Confidence means you don't put your worth in a 13cm needle dick. It's just a dick, man. You didn't make it, you didn't choose it, and it's just a dick. Trust me, for most women, 13 centimeters of hard cock is way enough. The rest is psychological. Your woman would rather you have a small dick and a good bod and mind, than a big one and be a loser in everything else. Big cocks aren't all that. Stop thinking about it.
You'll find confidence in things you can improve. If you can't change something, move on.
Besides, 13 isn't small, it's average. It's what most guys have. I'm an 18 cm cock master and it's not the sort of thing you can show off with much. Don't worry about it.

It has improved your body. To improve your life, you need to tackle other goals. No doubt being healthier and stronger will help.
>But eye color does change a persons sex appeal.
Not really.

Hardly. Point being, how you behave will either transcend your physique or will sink it. Just don't act like a self-hating person and nobody else will hate you.
>Reality is, brown eyes are boring as hell.
I can guarantee they're not.
500mg testosterone enanthate a week(1 or two injections a week, 21g 1.5" needle to draw, 25g 1.5" to pin into ventrogluteal site, don't forget alcohol wipe on vial and on injection site for cleanliness)
fullbody workout twice a week
Get 1g protein per pound of bodyweight
Have caloric excess of 500 calories a day
The straight person's guide to fitness. Very little else matters. Most should be safe to start out on this, but nasty fat people are basically girls so they might need to watch estrogen. They obviously don't give a fuck about their body if they got fat though so fuck them. Start babbies first cycle(but remeber cycling is stupid), read a shitload on roiding, then at the end of your babby's first cycle you drop to a cruise dose and go harder the next blast and the proper ancillaries/

Never had any trouble so far. Even those who react in anger don't do it for long and generally do so in a way that says, "Help me anyway, please".
>They wouldn't listen if you didn't trip, and they sure as hell won't while you do.
They did before I tripped, and didn't listen any less since I've used the trip. It's just so you know which posts are mine and which aren't. It's just ID, nothing more. I don't use it outside that specific thread.
>There is no hope for them. Use your energy on yourself.
There is hope for them. There was for me, and I knew it not. I've wasted time because I didn't think it possible, but it was there all along. I'm here to tell them (you?) that it is possible and they can do it. And I'll accompany them all the way.
I have energy for both them and myself. Helping people is how I justify my existence to myself and the universe. Besides, it makes me happy. Helping you is helping me. Everybody wins.

Back in school, one of the most confident boys I knew had the smallest dick and wasn't even ashamed of it. Because of this, nobody bothered him about the little dick he had. If anyone did, they seemed like a major douche.
Really, it's just a dick. Don't obsess over it.
Think about these girls who worry about having no tits when the rest of their body is goddess-like. It's ridiculous but they do it, don't be that girl.

i need to find a hobby/interest that i can obsess over to distract me from my boring, miserable life and possibly get me a gf while i'm at it.
i can't think of anything though. i did coding and now that's what i do as a career, but without a direction or achieving something of value it seems like a waste of time. i can't just do sports or whatever for fun, it's not fun. it has to be constructive. i can't really pick up girls at the gym because the gym i go to is 95% male and the girls are bodybuilding roidmonkeys. besides work and gym i don't go anywhere except the grocery store.

Also how do I count calories for when I really don't have the time and have to eat out (I study and work three jobs)
This is the cheapest food they sell in college here in asia, you pick 2-3 foods from the display, how can I count calories for this?

Both terrible reasons to get a hobby. These things happen as secondary effects, but they shouldn't be goals. If they are your goals, you'll get bored and give up too soon.
Try speed-dating, try online dating, don't imagine that any girl you see or contact is the one, see it as a way to get to know women and train socially. Have no fear.

>Is there any specific app on android you would recommend for calorie-counting
My Fitness Pal.
>Also how do I count calories for when I really don't have the time and have to eat out (I study and work three jobs)
Once you know calories for most foods, you can estimate the count to some degree.
>This is the cheapest food they sell in college here in asia, you pick 2-3 foods from the display, how can I count calories for this?
Check the food at home, see how much is 100 g then look at how much 100 g is. Eventually you'll have a fairly good idea.

Few women would care for such an argument, just as much as you don't care about the same argument for your dick. Plus, you're wrong. A good third of women never orgasm from a cock and have to do it manually. For those, a big cock is mostly a nicety of the psychologic and isn't much of a practical bonus.
> there are men for every girl but everyone hates small dicked, short, balding men.
No, what everyone hates is a self-pitying, self-defeated vain faggot who uses his physique as an excuse. Not saying it's you, but that's more of a turn off than anything else.
You are a normal man and you aren't inferior. You just think like that. Stop thinking. Start lifting.
>>25701630

The one where you feel no pain.
>>25701735
>I tried, they always want native speakers. I can almost speak and teach English perfectly but they still don't care.
That trend is fading, though, let them know. Explain that, as your future students, you have learned English consciously, unlike natives, who haven't and don't know what it's like to learn English as a second language. As to accent, you have less of an accent than the native Scotman.

>I feel a bit stupid, I understand your English but I don't understand what this means at all sorry could you explain again?
All right: ask Google how much is 100 grams of beans, then weigh beans on your scale, see how much it is. Next time you're at the cantine, you know how much 100 grams of beans are, and how many calories that is: you can now estimate how many calories you have in your plate.
Same for every other item. Roughly. Does that make more sense?

Yes, you can. But you have to give the right people a chance. You're a smart guy, Anon, you won't choose a stupid slut. Intelligent women are less likely to kuck you. Choose someone you know you can trust. You can win this game.
We've won it for generations in my family: monogamous marriages that last to the death, decades of not getting cucked.

They lasted because your family is probably genetically gifted. You can't even get scraps as a genetic trash.
>>25701979
>They lasted because your family is probably genetically gifted.
I was partially adopted. My genetic family goes one step beyond not getting cucked: it actively beats its women and cucks them too.
Forget about genetics, it's a word for fatties who need an excuse, you don't need an excuse, you need a work out. Your body is designed to grow muscles if required to. If you get to it, you will get strong like a motherfucker, I swear to you.
Genetics in my family is this:

I downloaded MyFitnessPal and have started counting calories, but damn when I'm feeling low it's so easy to just eat and eat. Going back to university and getting back into the drudgery of it all hasn't helped at all. I made a meal for two days and ended up eating it all in one.
At least I'm more conscious about how many calories are in the shit I eat. I've also tried to cut down heavily on carbs since they're nothing but bad news. I'm saving up to get a decent set of scales and some dumbbells but I doubt I'll ever get the motivation up to use either.
Oh, and since I'm too self conscious about posting a pic my weight and look is around the same as the third picture here: >>25701735
>>25702265
Half considering you're trollan.
I doubt escorts laugh at customers, honestly.
Nick, I'm a bulimic female who has gained maybe 50 lbs in the last year via bulimia. Before that, I was anorexic and had lost muscle mass fairly severely.
I have a nice shape (pear) and a small waist, but my body is shit because I don't have much muscle. My ass is entirely gone and I miss it.
I need a good routine for gaining back some muscle, it's probably more important than losing weight, but I don't think I could emotionally/psychologically handle gaining even more weight right now.
What do?
>>25702293
>I can never agree on a decent price with them, they always try to jew their way out. It's not worth it.
Check what others ask for and choose your rate around that.
Even if your first clients pay less than average, it'll be experience for you and extra money.
Those who really need to learn English will pay you what you deserve.

>Depressedfag who posted pic related a week or so ago here if you can remember me.
I do.
>but damn when I'm feeling low it's so easy to just eat and eat.
Make sure to understand the difference between normal eating and emotional eating. Never eat emotionally, do something else.
>I made a meal for two days and ended up eating it all in one.
From now on, make a meal for one day only.
>At least I'm more conscious about how many calories are in the shit I eat.
An excellent beginning.
> I've also tried to cut down heavily on carbs since they're nothing but bad news.
They're not that bad, but they're high in calories, so be aware of that.
>. I'm saving up to get a decent set of scales and some dumbbells but I doubt I'll ever get the motivation up to use either.
Try at least one session before deciding anything. Follow my program, watch the tutorials.
You will be more than fine if you stick with it. I will help along, bro.
Hey Nick, love your threads. I have a problem you could probably help me with. I am 1.85 and 88 kilos. I was 83 before I started working out, gained most of the weight in muscle. I am fond of my gainz but I still look like crap and really want to get some of that sleek sexy body.
I'm pretty good at counting calories and eating right(did that before to shed some kilos). Now I want to lose around 10 kilograms while maintaing most of the muscle I have. Can you recommend me a program? Something that mixes in some cardio for dat healthy heart?
>>25702350
>What do?
Buy some dumbbells and do my DB program, posted ITT. It's a fully body, you'll get generally strong. Squats will work your legs and ass overall.
Don't hesitate to modify the program at will according to how you feel and what you want. Read the guide, also.
Do read the guide right now, actually. All right?
>>25702483
>emotional eating
That's the thing, I have nothing else. No friends, no gf (of course) and no motivation to do anything in terms of hobbies. When I'm sitting on my computer browsing 4chan or in that post-wank low food alleviates the hopeless feelings somewhat.
>make a meal for one day only
Very difficult to do with my budget, but I guess eating two days worth every day is more expensive than only eating one days worth.
OP- post a pic of your body.
>>25702388
>You are so deep in your ultra positive lala land you don't even consider that shit like this actually happen to people.
All right, sorry. Next escort, ask if they can handle a small dick. If they say yes, and then actually laugh, slap her shit. See if she still laughs.
I'm fairly tall but skinny as fuck what's a decent routine to do to get ottermode.
Not trying to get massive just want to look good and be decently strong really.
Uni started yesterday and I woke up early on the first day and fixed my sleep schedule. I went to sleep early pretty easily last night and woke up a bit earlier today too.
So why do I start feeling exhausted around the afternoon and how can I counteract that?
Maybe I ran out of willpower after two lectures and an hour of studying, but I don't know.
It messed up part of my day, I didn't even have the energy to think or read a newspaper or some shit. I stayed awake in the train but was completely blank in the head.
how do I feel more energy?

Make sure you don't starve for three days. Literally. Also don't undereat by more than 500kcal or so.
>>25702490
>Now I want to lose around 10 kilograms while maintaing most of the muscle I have. Can you recommend me a program? Something that mixes in some cardio for dat healthy heart?
nothing special to follow: calculate BMR, undereat by 400kcal or so, and that alone will do the trick eventually.
As to cardio, you can do the running program I posted ITT somewhere, I think.
Do cardio on rest days.
Please post more easy to cook recipes OP you are so patient and helpful holy shit you are like a Jesus
>>25698852
around every 10-15 pounds off defines your more and more.

Need to find something. Working out can be an outlet. Pour all your rage and anger into your reps. Go WAAAAAGH before a set. I do that, silently because neighbours, but the spirit is all there. Get mean and angry and lift that shit.

Exactly. Consider cans for cheap healthy food.

>>25702640
>what's a decent routine to do to get ottermode.
Lifting and cutting.
>>25698800
Is the running meme correct? To lose weight, will jogging be all that's needed, or do I have to lift too?
>>25702652
>So why do I start feeling exhausted around the afternoon and how can I counteract that?
Possibly digestion. When I eat at lunch, I get tired quickly afterwards. I skip lunch otherwise and feel fine.
>how do I feel more energy?
You get more strength. By lifting.
>inb4 exercise
Sorry, man, you have to. It won't be that bad. Do my DB program, you'll end up loving it.
>>25702808
>anger and rage
I think you're misunderstanding. Whilst I'm angry as fuck about the current economic, political, environmental, everything environment it's more of a silent anger than anything. If I'm not provoked it's incredibly hard for me to bring up that anger in order to dispel it, I'm usually just too tired to do anything.

>How long have you lived as a undesirable ugly skeleton manlet virgin to think you're so knowledgable about how to fix them?
About 23 years. Is that enough?
>>25702787
For people who go hungry and are trying to cut: go for soups and stews. Cook around, add things you like, cut sausages into small slices, add onions, add tomatoe sauce, corn, buy dry meat like party sticks, cut them in small pieces, add to stew, and you get easy meals that are delicious.
Simple is the name of the game: cooking isn't hard. Consider eggs and the dozen ways to cook them. Watch tutorials about what you enjoy. Cooking is within reach, learn to enjoy every movement of is.

>Is the running meme correct? To lose weight, will jogging be all that's needed, or do I have to lift too?
It's even better: you can lose weight without any exercise. Undereat and you're done. Cardio helps running more but the simplest way is to eat less calories, less than you need. Lifting is for strength.
>>25702942
>everything environment it's more of a silent anger than anything.
When you start lifting heavy weights, you'll know how to tap into any kind of anger, silent and otherwise.
>>25703015
Lift weights, to get muscles, and undereat to burn the fat on your body.
>>25702833
Jogging and dieting is sufficient. However, lifting helps a bit. Muscles naturally use more calories than fatty tissue, so you can get away with eating more when you're more muscular. It's the primary reason I work out.
Where is this guide you keep talking about? The OP image?

Yes. It burns, but it's not the main thing. You don't lift to burn calories, not primarily. Running or swimming burns more.
>>25703258
>No, that's pretty much the age I expect people to make a tripfagging listen to me i'm a special self-made snowflake, but "i'm not a normalfag" thread.
I am not 23, I spent 23 years living a robot life. Huge difference.
This thread isn't about me, though. You ask me a personal question, I respond to it. Everyone else asks about themselves, the point of this thread. If you're going to focus on me, don't then accuse me of being about myself. I'm here for you guys. Trip is just so you know which posts are mine.
>>25703268
>I want to start swimming any advice how to start or any routine for swimming?
Main thing: watch tutorials over and over to learn, consider getting a teacher for one session. Swimming must be done right.
After that, just swim away and rest accordingly. Gradually increase the length you swim.
>>25703399
>don't then accuse me of being about myself
You're a tripfag that posted a guide with a title which includes your name in large font.
You're some Swiss normalfag humble bragging about your success with getting fit and educated and probably some other bullshit I missed as well.

>>25703550
>You're a tripfag that posted a guide with a title which includes your name in large font.
Yes, because it's the trip I use here. It's all connected. It means nothing beyond that. Why are you so troubled by my trips? Who gives a shit? I wrote that stuff, the least I can do is sign it, don't you think? With a nick, at that. It really doesn't matter. What are you afraid of, that I might become famous for that guide or something? Please.
>You're some Swiss normalfag humble bragging about your success
If I were to brag, I'd post pictures of my insane physique instead of telling everyone they'd not be impressed by it, don't you think?
>normalfag
I pity you for using such terms. I am, however, far from normal. What kind of normalfag spends hours writing nerds a guide and even more hours making threads for them? Say what you want, this shit isn't normal.
>fit and educated and probably some other bullshit I missed as well.
I'm not into false modesty and I never claimed any of this was awesome or anything, it's just true. I've also only said this in an answer to a question, possibly yours. If you didn't want to know, you shouldn't have asked about it.
>If you're solely interested in helping people do it anonymously.
>anonymously
Now you realise you don't know my name. You do realise I'm anonymous, right? My trip is just like an ID number. Nothing more. You don't know who I am and you don't know my name. I am 100% anonymous. All you know is which posts are mine in this thread and the past ones.

Hello Nick. As 200cm/75kg dude I just wanna get more weight first. Any good tips and I dont mean only "le eat more, ez".
>>25703714
>Any good tips and I dont mean only "le eat more, ez".
If eating is difficult for you: consider pistachios. Easy to eat, filled with calories and good fats. Also whole milk for drinking.
Doing both throughout the day will put as many kilos on you as you want and shouldn't be too hard to put it.
>>25698852
Thread should have ended here.
God, fitfags are insufferable as fuck.
>>25703786
>Thread should have ended here.

You should have been lifting years ago. "Should have" doesn't get anybody far.
I'm not unsufferable, I'm here for your questions if you have any. If you don't, you don't have to post here. Since you did anyway, why don't you actually ask something and come away with more information than you had before?
Less is what I am now, Right is what I want.
I want to be skinny with no muscles/ emphasized shit. But right now I'm a fucking goblin, despite having good genes/ decent framework.
My fucking noodle arms are the most embarrassing, my ribs are kinda gross, and my back has the humps from my spine visible.
When I eat more (shitloads of calories) they all go into my stomach, thighs, or ass. I don't eat a lot of protein but I don't have much control over my diet. (very very very poor)
I want thicker arms that aren't blubber either. I don't wanna put on just fat- I want to look otter without looking like a fucking model. I want the very tall/ slender look. I'm an artist/ non-abrasive guy/ quiet but fierce/ passionate. I don't want to give the impression that I'm a fuck machine, but rather that I'm a decent human. I want to be able to pick up and dominate girls when I want, but I am too weak for anything right now. I got a good face to work with. (It fits the impression I described wanting to give)
I simply don't want to be an embarrassment when I undress.
Help.

For your body, I recommend my DB program, to get some strength, it will give you a good basis. You won't get beefy overnight and you won't have to develop more muscles than you want (not increasing weight will stop your progress, basically).
You can be skinny and muscly all right.
As to skin, try clearasil; you can also ask your doctor and should be able to get some pills to help with acne..
Ottermode of sort is what you want, it's accessible by lifting. So that's what I recommend.
>>25703330
>Facial hair is a huge difference
Thanks for reminding me.;_;
>>25703893
>I think you're acting like you don't understand the "humble" part of humble bragging because you're a self-absorbed cunt.
In truth, I realise that being here with a trip doesn't make me more known than you being here. You're the only one who doesn't realise this.
>You would pity me, being a semi-successful normalfag.
I pity you because you choose your own reality and act like you don't.
>No, you're some dipshit that considers writing a guide on the internet to get attention to be a special snowflake abnormal thing that seperates you from the masses somehow.
That was tongue in cheek, but I maintain that the people you call normalfags wouldn't do that.
>to get attention
If you refuse to believe I am here to help and nothing else, so be it. As long as the people who want help get it and make progress, I am content.
>Fuck off back to /fit/, I'm done with this shit.
How about this: you kindly leave and let me do what I want, yes? Thanks.
>>25703899
>What is whole milk? One liter a day? Is not GOMAD more than that?
Yes, GOMAD is literally "Gallon Of Milk A Day", but it doesn't matter. Pistachios are over 500kcal for 100 grams. Eat this stuff over your normal diet, and whole milk as much as you can throughout the day, you'll put on weight. Eat everything you can.
>>25703914
Will I have to get a gym membership? I don't wanna lift weights, and I'd prefer to do stuff alone/ not in public. Only way I wouldn't get anxiety in those sorts of places is if I am constantly moving/ breathing deeply. (I breath very loud for everything, shit lungs, mostly try to restrain from doing it)
Would you consider any kind of swimming regimen over doing weights? (is swimming a good option basically, like in terms of hobby/ workout)
How about diet? Would just working out do it all? Don't I need to put on weight?
>>25698800
Ive been eating about 1200 cal spread out evenly over 4 meals a day. It seems to be pretty effective. Every saturday I eat about 1700 to boost my metabolism again for the next week.
>>25704146
>Will I have to get a gym membership?
Not necessarily. DB's can be used at home easily without spending too much money.
> I don't wanna lift weights
it's the best way to get muscles.
>Would you consider any kind of swimming regimen over doing weights?
That's cardio, it's not bad at all for ottermode, but it may take a bit more time to grow muscles that way. Cardio doesn't grow muscles much at all. I'd still recommend some lifting.
>How about diet? Would just working out do it all? Don't I need to put on weight?
Read the guide for more details, but it entirely depends on what you want. If you want lean, eating enough protein and not overeating will be more than enough.
>>25704195
>Every saturday I eat about 1700 to boost my metabolism again for the next week.
You can't boost your metabolism. It's fine to do that but don't imagine that it does much more than just giving your body sufficient energy so that it doesn't have to tap into the fat.
Glad that you're making progress, though!
Losing weight made me more suicidal than I've ever been. That was 2 years ago.
>>25704195
Boost metabolism... You also practice muscle confusion you faggy fag faggot
>>25704298
>Losing weight made me more suicidal than I've ever been.
Very unlikely. Nobody gets suicidal simply for getting healthier.
>>25704271
Ok. Ive just heard that it will help because your body will get used to the lower amount of calories and wont tap into those reserves of fat as much. Thats probably just broscience though.
>>25704355
>Ok. Ive just heard that it will help because your body will get used to the lower amount of calories and wont tap into those reserves of fat as much.
Mostly bullshit. I've spent days without eating much of anything at all and didn't notice any major difference. Studies don't show a significant decrease in metabolism, Starvation Mode is a myth.

Look here friend, you are living in an unstable environment with violence surrounding you. Fight for you life. Not by joinging to war or grabbing a gun. But by trying to improve your own life and trying to improves the lives of those in your community by getting yourself fit enough to be a useful and helpful member. You speak english so (if you've got a video camera and the internet means) make videos on your peoples' situation and ask for help and post it to youtube and every video sight you can and send it to a foreign news station. I personally know many people who would be willing to help your situation if they knew about it. Give yourself a purpose to live even if it is not your own survival, but your family's and friends' and neighbors' survival. You've have got an opportunity here to save lives. Your english speaking skills are probably your best asset on a large scale and getting fit is your best asset on a local scale. You have got a purpose, friend. Now do something about it

The guide explains this all in detail, if you want.
5x5 = 5 sets of 5 reps
a set is a series of repetitions, simply. Do 5, then take a short break, then do 5 again.
Go read the guide, it really explains everything in "how to lift".
>wait
45 minutes to 2 minutes, basically long enough so you can repeat the set.
>>25704472
>If not, what does repetition mean?
It's one movement.
>How do I gauge how much I do in a set?
Rep range is detailed in guide:
1 to 3, pure strength
4 to 8, strength and hypertrophy
8 to 12, resistance
beyond 12, silliness
Roughly.

Believe what you want, but it's true. I'm 6'3" and I was below 300lbs for the first time in effectively forever. I've always been depressed, not "oh I'm totally sad and depressed" I mean I was in an out of therapy since I was maybe 6 until I was 16 and learned to hide it because it was killing my mom.
When I was down, I felt like shit, mentally. Sure, my clothes fit better, and people could see it, but I felt like shit.

>>25704818
>You're telling me I do one squat, wait 2 minutes, do one squat again
Nobody does pure strength, as said in the guide you should read. Go for 5 to 8, that's a good range.
But suppose you chose 1 rep. The weight you would train with should be so heavy you can barely do 2 reps. In that sense, yes, you would take a break after 1 rep, because you'd be lifting very heavy.
The weight you lift is always the max you could lift for one or 2 more reps.

I honestly doubt you'd be impressed. Give me a few more months so I can show you something more encouraging. What you'd see now is a skinnyfat getting muscular nicely, but nothing very inspiring, so far.
Is that OK?
>>25704836
>Any tips on how to prevent loose skin when losing weight?
You need to be extremely fat to have this problem. It depends on people too, and the speed at which you lose weight. If you lose half a kilo a week, you shouldn't have much trouble, even if you did, skin eventually adjusts, unless you're insanely fat, but that'd be fat as in "literally can't walk easily" sort of fat.

Alright, thanks man!
This makes getting fit seem way more possible than I thought it'd be. I could do this stuff in between other stuff easily once I get my own place/ schedule going. I haven't calculated how on average how long these workouts would last- it'd be good to know a rounded number.
Also, I have no experience when it comes to buying weights. I can very easily over-exert myself, or go for stuff that's "just pure pansy" and I won't know the difference.

Found the guide actually, will give this a read and try asking the right questions to you or someone else when the time comes. I found some of the relevant sections so I don't know why I bothered including this part of the post
But yeah, this is good man
Really looking forward to doing this! Despite all the negativity you're getting in this thread, you've affected one person at the very least
All that's left to do is for me to put in the work

If I take any fewer classes, I have to start paying back loans, and I'm already having trouble paying my bills because of time I'm losing from work. I don't have health insurance because I can't afford it, and now I'm losing even more to a 401k I'm forced to have, but will never be able to use. Society doesn't care about a 26yo student.
So, no. I really can't without making things worse.
Forget all this terrible advice. This is what you do:

I don't think deep set eyes are an Asian feature but I have all the other stuff. I can tell you through experience it's not enough. You also need money. If you don't have money, you have to be in a shitty band or have A list celebrity looks.

That's my goal here. Once that is done, we've past the hardest obstacle.
> I haven't calculated how on average how long these workouts would last- it'd be good to know a rounded number.
About an hour. Less in the beginning. I take a little over an hour with lots of pauses between sets and conversation with my partner, so around an hour or less, even much less, is fine.
>Also, I have no experience when it comes to buying weights. I can very easily over-exert myself, or go for stuff that's "just pure pansy" and I won't know the difference.
Buy DB's with removable weights, then buy a bunch of 1 kilo weights, and o.5, and 2,5 kilos and such. That way you can increase very gradually.

I'm glad! One person is all it takes to make this whole thing worth it for me.
I'll be around.

Even if I eat 4000 calories a day while sitting on my ass I don't gain a single gram.
I literally cannot gain weight. Unfortunately this also means I cannot gain muscle.
Explain this, energyfags.

Shit sucks.
Perhaps you could try doing it in the morning? It doesn't require much time, give it 45 minutes, or even just 30 minutes and do what you can in that time. 3 times a week 30 minutes will already be a big difference.

If you use the words "starvation mode" I will laugh at your utter ignorance of biology, so don't bother if that's what you're planning.

Are you a hamplanet? If not, did you actually count these calories?
>I literally cannot gain weight. Unfortunately this also means I cannot gain muscle.
Most likely, you don't eat as much as you think, quite simply. There's no way for your body to magically dissipate energy you've eaten.
You're wrong about the muscle, though. They need protein to grow, not fat.
How much fat do you have currenty?

>If you use the words "starvation mode" I will laugh at your utter ignorance of biology, so don't bother if that's what you're planning.
I've already stated that SM was a myth.
In the long run, you WILL lose weight. It is simply impossible for you not to lose weight if you undereat, by definition. It's more likely that you don't count your calories properly than you broke the universe and its law. How much is that Wellbutrin? Do you drink only water?
Exercising doesn't need to be done in public, if that's what you mean. I don't.
What kind of injuries?

Friend, please take what I said to heart and do it (especially the outreach to foreign media and youtube). Where I live, literally everyone I know and the majority of my community are talking about what is going on in Turkey and Durkaland. I promise you if you inform the people of whats going on, get some video footage of damages to your community, interviews with people, someone will help. It doesn't matter where the heck you are or who the heck you are, there will always be a bleeding heart to do something about it. Stick with me here on this next part. I know that Turkey is a primarily Muslim country (i dont know what your affiliation is but it doesnt matter for my point) that has had an uneasy relationship with Christianity, but Western Christians, especially U.S. christians, are very willing to help financially or supplies or people wise even without any witnessing crap or trying to convert your crap. I know a couple megachurches in my area that, if you made a good case, would be willing to help your community. There are other groups you can go to in different continents but in any event, you've got the means to do something for your people here, friend
>>25698800
Hey Nick. Glad to see you're keeping up with trying to motivate us robots to do better.
I use to work out excessively and am actually built fit, but I've been unable to work out since I hit this wall for the past few years. The weight has come on, but, your thread yesterday(?) I think it was had me motivated to do begin working out again.
That said, know any good website to buy a cheap set of dumbells? I'm kind've lucked out with a gym outside planet fitness, but even then, thats kind've too far of a distance to get to. Got little to spend these days.
>>25705459
>over estimation of calories
My meal is 1 chicken breast, baked, 1/2 cup of long grain brown rice, and like a cup of broccoli florets.
>do you only drink water
Yes
>how many calories in the wellbutrin
Fuck if I know. It's a fucking pill. Let's assume it's the same as a shot of vodka, so like 70 calories.
>what kind of injuries
Degenerative disc disease, some muscles fucked up at my left leg hip junction, and my arches have been collapsed or something for the last month. Probably all from the last job I worked. The hip and feet thing make it hurt to walk and the spine makes me want to avoid deadlifts/squats/etc for fear of making it worse.
I used to run but it's too cold now, and my hip/leg, feet, weight make it hard to get back into without shin splints and other pain.
>>25699741 Here.
>>25699793
Just did this and it's almost like i can feel the gains.
Can i do it twice per day if i feel like i can handle it?

Do that. Muscle memory is real: you'll regain your muscles much, MUCH faster than anyone else.
>That said, know any good website to buy a cheap set of dumbells? I'm kind've lucked out with a gym outside planet fitness, but even then, thats kind've too far of a distance to get to. Got little to spend these days.
Try the nearest junkyard, if you have sections where people throw away stuff that others can pick up. Consider ads, lots of people buy DB and never do anything with them, they'll be glad to throw the stuff away. Flea markets, yard sales, stuff like that.
Even Craiglist and such, if they do that sort of thing.
Surely a sportshop can't be too far, it's worth it, man. Overall, it shouldn't be over 100 bucks for a decent set.
>>25705593
>Fuck if I know. It's a fucking pill. Let's assume it's the same as a shot of vodka, so like 70 calories.
You are aware that some pills are very calorific, right? Google says it has no calories (or no data, who knows).
>My meal is 1 chicken breast, baked, 1/2 cup of long grain brown rice, and like a cup of broccoli florets.
So how many calories is that?
>The hip and feet thing make it hurt to walk and the spine makes me want to avoid deadlifts/squats/etc for fear of making it worse.
If you lift light enough, you shouldn't have a problem. You'd only get stronger, which would be better for your bones. If you have a doc, talk it out with him. Just don't lift too heavy, favor lighter weights and more reps at first.
I'm conflicted. I want to go ottermode, but at the same time I don't want to be a skelefuck.
I was 140lb when I started at 6'. Now I'm at 170lb.
How do I reconcile these views without drugs?
Essentially, where do I find my spot on the "pick 2 of natty/huge/shredded"?
>>25705680
>Can i do it twice per day if i feel like i can handle it?
Nope! That's enough, save it for next time. Your muscles now need to rest, to repair themselves, and come back stronger and bigger. Do this again in 2 days.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! Very glad.

>>25705733
>I want to go ottermode, but at the same time I don't want to be a skelefuck.
You lift, you cut. You won't get bigger if you don't lift heavier, so that's one way to stay lean muscle-wise; as to the fat, if you eat at a deficit, the fat will disappear gradually.
Adjust both at your convenience.
>more muscle = lift heavier
>shredded = burn the fat by undereating
>>25705771
That's good, but a shame at the same time.
Thanks for everything, man. Keep on trucking.
>>25705732
>pills calorific
Wasn't aware of that. It's like 50mg of some starch and filler. No reasonable explanation for it being calorific.
>how many calories is that 400 total. Because I don't measure by the ounce I just overestimate at 700.
>just start light
It hurts to walk, let alone lift anything. My best bet would be swimming but my car is broken and I'm soon to be homeless.
You never answered why I didn't lose any weight after 3 weeks.
>>25705810
That's the problem. 170lb on a 6' frame is still a skele. But I'm not seeing muscle definition on the stomach or legs really, just that I'm generally bigger.
If I bulk more I lift heavier and get stronger but I lose even more definition. If I cut I go back to being a weakling. Is there a way to gain weight while reducing body fat? Half of /fit/ says no, the other half says 'just bulk on lift days, cut on off days', so I don't know.
>>25705834
Very welcome!
>>25705849
>Wasn't aware of that. It's like 50mg of some starch and filler. No reasonable explanation for it being calorific.
Agreed. Can't be the origin of those extra cals.
>>25705849
>You never answered why I didn't lose any weight after 3 weeks.
Because that's not possible, unless you were already very skinny to begin with and have an extremely low BMR.
Perhaps your scale is fucked up, ever tried a different one?
Do you SEE changes in the mirror?
All this pain you're having isn't normal.
Soon to be homeless? Any friend or family you can find shelter at?
Anything else you consume that don't think has calories?
>>25705891
>If I bulk more I lift heavier and get stronger but I lose even more definition.
Then don't bulk. You can "clean bulk" with just protein.
>Is there a way to gain weight while reducing body fat?
By gaining muscle only, which excludes bulking. Eat at maintenance, or a very very slight excess. Adjust accordingly.
>Half of /fit/ says no, the other half says 'just bulk on lift days, cut on off days', so I don't know.
Don't listen to them. Fat is excess energy stored for later use: in other words, it isn't used if it's on you. If it isn't used, it isn't needed, hence being stored for later. You don't need extra fat to get bigger. A normal bulk is just to ensure your body has all it needs, but even a thin layer of fat already shows your body has what it needs to produce more of itself.
