>you’re only in shape because you are youngHow often do you hear this cope? I’m 30 and I mainly hear this from boomers and people in their 40s+
>>76614087Not him but as a mid 20s fit lean kissless virgin, 90% of the advice i get is to lie and be an asshole. One of my best friends is a fat NEET who lives in his parents' attic and he has fucked dozens of women. Since we are on very good terms i told him i cannot fathom what part of him women find attractive. He replied "no part of me is attractive to women". He just lies about everything. How he has shitloads of money. How he is a martial artist (he has never trained anything in his life). He makes up basically completely fake identities, sells the story to some chick at a party, fucks her once or twice then never sees her again.Meanwhile i have never lied in my entire life. I make it a cornerstone of my personality to never lie, cheat, obfuscate, etc. So how do i get a girlfriend without lying or "bending the truth"?
>>76610508I don't care that i'm a virgin. What destroys my self-confidence is that after 25 years of life and all my accomplishments no woman has ever felt attracted to me. I know obese unemployed unwashed neckbeards who have had multiple relationships, yet i self improved for years, got jacked, lean, learned languages, music, got hobbies, "worked on myself" as everyone advised me, and got 0 results. I think paying for a hooker to lose my virginity would be the breaking point that turns me into an absolute lost cause subhuman
>>76618103people act like women caring mostly about personality is a good thing but it's the opposite imo, personality is the hardest and most nuanced thing to change about yourself so it's maddening that you can have everything a woman could want on paper and still not be considered attractive
>>76618118its also unmeasureable and is a get out of jail card because its impossible to reason againstif they say "personality" they actually mean that they got the ick for whatever reason
>>76618096>He just lies about everything.You believe his stories?
Reminder than anything more that a brisk walkwill ruin your health
jesus would you look at that sternocleidomastoid

I just kinda... stopped doing legs. After a decade of being gaslit into doing squats and deadlifts, dreading it every time, all the stretching and mobility required, all the injuries I just... stopped. I know I know. ughhhhhhhh. I'm sorry. But I'm just not gonna do leg work anymore.
>>76616852> squat> hamstringsimagine being this dumb
>>76616553>Doesnt lifting heavy especially cause hormone upregulation?Short answer: No.Long answer: Technically, but only by a little bit and for a short time (few hours), which autists blew out of proportion to have a reason for squatting.
>>76616929>If you have stick thighs people are absolutely still going to noticeOnly weird homos with a leg fetish aka SS victims.Normal people won't notice shit.
Let's be honest... we lift for women. And big legs only attract gays. You just need to do some pull ups, bench press and lateral raises. When you have a girl and you take your shirt off you are already there more muscles are not needed anymore at that point.
>>76618751>Normal people won't notice shit.Ehh, even before I started to lift I noticed when people skipped leg day. You don't need to do that much with legs but if you do nothing its very obvious imo. And it looks like shit.
What the fuck
>>76617355t. no chin
>>76617427why do they do that open mouth thing? it looks disgusting :/
>>76614144Correct. They sabotage you when they tell dudes to just go bald or to try and look "manly"
>>76616187im happy about that rajnagupta, go worship women in some other thread though, we are talking shit about faggots like you in this one
>>76617728deepak-sama… you’re just coping now…anons are making fun of roid trannies, bald losers, and bearded faggots!
Are you getting enough sleep, /fit/?What's your routine/essentials for a good sleep?
>>76616361Yeah most people dont eat a lot while drinking to try and stay lean, take pills on the weekends(acetaminophen), and legit get sick/alcohol poisoning on top of drink right before sleep or do coke to sober up while drunk. Being sick fucks your sleep way more than drinking. The less drunk you are before sleeping the less it fucks rem, and it definitely makes you tired as shit drinking in the morning. When i have to reset my sleep schedule i always drink a decent amount a few hours before i go to bed so im not driving drunk, all weed does is make you gay and think about sucking dudes off ime.
>>76615656Two questions for you:Was there any time in the last year that your drinking caused problems?How often do you regret drinking too much?
>>76614335>Are you getting enough sleep, /fit/?I don't think I have gotten enough sleep for a night in months now.I seriously need to fix this.
>>76618489What seems to be the problem? Do you have some kind of insomnia, or, e.g., do you not give yourself enough time in bed?
>>76618748It's just that I feel like I don't have enough time outside of work.As a result, I overcompensate by staying up longer.Though, this just made me feel terrible throughout the day.
Any pectus anons here?I got approved for surgery at 30 y/o and the doctor says I should expect months of PAIN.
>>76615079What worked like super strict narrower flatback/incline? Reverse/kamehameha?
>>76615079Im interested since im trying to be thicker from the side.
>>76614977I've accepted my reality and will not alter my body.
I have pectus and I don't think for how bad it is it would be worth the recovery and any associated risks.Getting a bit of a chest helped - your goal in every way isn't perfection, it's being better than yourself.
>>76617429>>76617432Dips, again.
How /fit/ were ancient warriors? What routine did Roman, conquistador, and crusaders use to stay in shape and could they outbench me?

I might consider some sort of safe regiment with one of those male clinics that just prescribes trt for anybody along with routine bloodwork, but I'm concernes about 2 things.1. less important, but I'm obese so hearth health and blood pressure, I'm good on those fronts miraculously, but obviously roids might fuck that2. My nuts, I have massive fucking hog nuts, my pride and joys, can you even take roids in a way that has 0% chance of shrinking your nuts?
Steroids make you practically infertile as a man. Expect having to resort to IVF after multiple years of gear
>>76618167>>76618170Yeah that's no good then, what about just taking something that makes my nuts produce more test? So instead of exogenous hormones I just take something that makes my body produce more test on its own, that would leave my nuts big or perhaps even make them grow bigger no?
>>76618190Eat healthy, the conspiracy way not the npc way, meaning lots of grass fed meat, free raised chicken eggs, grass fed cow butter, wild salmon etc, avoid plastic at all costs, sleep enough, reduce stress, exercise but not too much, zero alcohol, drugs and cigs. Having done this put my natty test around 900 while pushing 40 and having juiced hard and long.By the way my cholesterol is perfect
>>76618190For whatever it’s worth, my clinic had me just take HCG to start, see how it affects me. Test went up by a small but significant margin (~200) and my balls got noticeably larger. It didn’t really improve much else though. I kind of felt my test levels were a bit more consistent and stable, but that could just be placebo.
>>76618199That sounds like a lot of trouble and money spent on my part desu.>>76618446Hm, might be worth trying just hcg, although I have no clue if a clinic will do just that without trt, they have to pretend it's not cosmetic after all.
The biggest psyop in measuring fitness
>>76617061It's misleading you by making you focus on your weight which is not an indicator of fitness
>>76617061It's bad if you're a powersharter and thinking going up 10lb every week makes you stronger
>>76617152what the fuck are you talking about? weight is one of the most important metrics in fitness. if you're weight goes up and your body fat % stays the same you look better and become stronger. it's objective facts, if you want to make fitness as simple as possible you just measure the weights you lift, your weight and bf% to track progress and that gives you an objective measure of your level of achievement
>>76617032Sausage fingers typed this
>>76617032Not really tho
I started the gym a month ago and I think that something is wrong. I went from a 50kg leg extension to 107kg for 10 reps>would be full stack but the pin doesn't go that low40kg ab crunch to full stack around 92kg for 4 reps >I felt my abs hurting the next day in the first week but now I don't30kg preacher curl machine to 50kg for 10 reps>some guy with decent arms tried it after me and left in confusion because he could only do 35kg for 5I could go on but the other gains are relatively normal (20-50% increase). Am I supposed to be getting strong that fast or is the equipment built to ego boost dyels. I take 2-3 protein shakes a day and 1-3 scoops of creatine, I generally don't feel any muscle fatigue and I work out 3-5 times a week.Well I'm going to go again in a few hours, any ideas on how to load a leg extension machine with plates? A gym pin won't work since the space is too small to fit any decent plates in. Do I just talk to the gym staff like a noob?Pic related is the leg extension machine we have at my local British gym
>>76618548Do you have a tail? Or does your father?
>>76618548Some machines are easy, yes. It depends on the pulleys or some nerd shit like that. There's another thing to consider: not all your muscle groups are equal, either for genetic reasons or because you unwittingly trained them all your life (ie hairdressers usually have decent shoulders because of their job)You don't need to load the leg ext with plates, just do it single-legged. Another tip: keep the reps in the ab crunch on the higher side, it's fine if you end up doing 4 reps in the last set because you're cooked but try to make your working sets higher in volume (I ACK'd with one of those machines doing exactly that)
>>76618561I am a lazy fuck that was at home 24/7 basically except errands since covid. I can't even do a push up. I doubt that I have any occupational muscular development. However, my relatives all easily got jacked and pressured me into going to the gym so maybe my genetics will save me. BTW it is really uncomfortable on one leg even with a matt wrapped around the pad. I'll persevere until I can full stack each leg before moving on to squats or picking one of those body builder gyms.
How do I stop being tired after eating carbs?>Stop eating carbsNo.
>>76617009Starch and glucose efficiently stimulate insulin secretion, and that accelerates the disposition of glucose, activating its conversion to glycogen and fat, as well as its oxidation. Fructose inhibits the stimulation of insulin by glucose, so this means that eating ordinary sugar, sucrose (a disaccharide, consisting of glucose and fructose), in place of starch, will reduce the tendency to store fat. Eating complex carbohydrates, rather than sugars, is a reasonable way to promote obesity. Eating starch, by increasing insulin and lowering the blood sugar, stimulates the appetite, causing a person to eat more, so the effect on fat production becomes much larger than when equal amounts of sugar and starch are eaten.
>>76617084>Fructose inhibits the stimulation of insulin by glucoseHuh, TILSo it's good on a deficit but bad on a surplus
>>76617009what goes up must come down
Stop having diabetes
>>76616990Literally the best. Doing even a light bit of cardio after eating will reduce your glucose spikes.
What causes this body shape?
>>76616543I'm the poster and an old fag. Back in the 1980s they knew that DHT caused male pattern baldness in men who were susceptible. I know, because I did a HS biology report on male pattern baldness back then (yes, early onset body dysmorphia) , and this remains the answer HOWEVER its also true that some men do NOT go bald, despite having adequate DHT levels. Its not known exactly why/how but their hair is not susceptible to this. See Jay Cutler - great head of hair in his fifties despite blasting gear. Also see Tom Selleck - actor famous for lots of body hair, but never went bald.Yeah - old dudes do thin out a bit, even though DHT levels (testosterone changes/degrades into DHT - thats how DHT is created, it is metabolized testosterone) are presumably lower because test levels are lower. This may be due to anything - I have never heard an answer. I speculate its either due to changes in the susceptibility of the aged follicle OR, since estraogen also declines as we age, they hair loses the protective effect of estrogen. Estrogen is known to be cardio proetctive. Perhaps it also protects the hairfollicle. I dont know.Fuck you to whoever said this is AI. I know all of this shit and some of it is my opinion/speculation. The "science" on male pattern baldness is pretty shitty.
>>76616748This might be true. Thanks for your candor - are you doing anything to try to ward this off? Cruise looks like he has close to zero delt/trap development - would that help his width/blocky hips problem?
>>76616102heaps of old guys mog him. no homo.tom cruise has got all the money in the world and it's his job to look good. why can't he fix his shit?https://youtu.be/UH1yTqt1sK8&t=290
>>76618633yeah I find it weird seeing Arnolds hair really thin in his old age. Thats hair that survived ungodly amounts of DHT in his youth.
>>76616102>>76616166This was from Ghost ProtocolHe was 49
My testosterone is rock bottom but I still can't stand chick flicks.What I noticed, though, is fatigue, depression and developing weird sexual tastes. I also don't have trouble adding strength or mass either. But hoooo boy, cutting weight is a massive problem.
Thinking you need an emotional connection to enjoy sex. Extremely feminine trait.
For me personally I just have no motivation to really do anything. Like sitting in my room on 4chan and drinking coffee and listening to music is the only thing that sounds remotely good. My test level is 380. I would like to think if I trippled my test level it would push me to go out into the world more. But that might be wishful thinking
Do you have tits?
>>76616711considering it myself. post your after pics
I wish I had

>>76615175yes (female (male))
>>76615175No (female)
I actually like when random people walk up and give me form advice. It makes me feel cared for.
>>76617596Justice is an illusion, little lifter.
>>76617596I honestly abandoned any hope of fitting into society, i tried to interact with people for 2 months in hopes of feeling cared for as you put it and all i got in return is severe abuse, I'm absolutely never approaching another human being again(the supermarket clerks don't count since I'm only buying food)
>>76618009this, the problem is that most of the guys who seem to want to give out advice are dyel looking retards who probably spent too long browsing /fit/ and flabby boomers who hit you with 'when I was your age...'. The guys who actually lift heavy with top tier bodies just do their sets and get out
>>76618009The worst is when strengthniggers can't understand the concept of volume or hypertrophy and start spewing powershitter advice. It's like they legitimately can't recognize a workout program.
zoomers really think that its not okay for people to just talk to eachother. Its the most cancerous byproduct of smartphones.
