>>75730527As someone losing weight, is there any point to me training cardio? Will this just cause me to lose MORE weight or will I build muscle/increase stamina at the same time?
>>75730527New to /fit/ because I'm trying to wean off /pol/ and then the internet as a whole. Are you guys as gay about crossfit as the rest of the internet? I don't think it's the best route to any goals, it just feels really good and I like the people. Not going to change anything based on input I receive, just want to know whether to bother talking about it or not.

>>75735176Quick update: I'm a bit of a retard and I accidentally shrugged 5Kgs more than my pre-injury max because apparently I forgot how to count. The human body makes no sense sometimes.

>>75739744>So will I actually gain "extra" endurance (opposed to if I didn't work out)yes. You will have more energy. You will be able to be physically active longer without getting tired. You will seat less. Your health will improve. Your skin will look better. You will be far less likely to have a heart attack or stroke. You will have a far less chance of developing another disease like diabetes. Your brain won't age as fast. Cardiovascular exercise is very helpful for many facets of your life and you should be doing it on a weekly basis until you die.
>>75739792Water weight and poop variance.
>>75739773If you have been lifting consistently for 6 to 8 weeks, it is usually helpful to have a rest week or near week.
>>75739662I bought imported Christmas food at a massive discount. Bailey's chocolates, cappuccino liquor pound cake and thin mints. I have a marzipan stollen still waiting to be opened. It was altogether like $10.
>>75739679Someone sounds bitter they haven't made it even close, just keep working and if you want it you'll get there.>>75739730Not a bong so idk, I'm putting off surgery for a few years to see how much my body can actually repair itself. Not to sound like a complete fag but twice a week I do "face masks" on my abdomen. Good enough for a face, it's good enough for my tummy. Can't tell if it's really doing anything yet but hey makes sense to me. Still, I'm much happier than I've ever been in my body, even if my abs are under a cm of weird inhuman feeling skin>>75739763I genuinely think if I get any more lean I'm going to have visible chest bones are start rattling. When I shower the water taps my bones and I feel it vibrating my body. Things tap my collarbones and I feel the echo

I have access to gyms on military bases and i expected to see a million cut, shreadwd beasts in there.Instead, im seeing alot of squat bodied runmaxxers with big butts and bellies and some hard faced women. Atleast the women are muscular. Where are all of the hot military babes, there are honestly more fuckable women at Crunch gym or Publix.Most of the dudes are fucking potatoes with unironic beer bellies.Most of them barely touch the fucking bench.Is it because it's the Air Force? Wtf is happening?
>>75739784Motor Tuah
>>75739825pit on that thang
>>75739784The hot ones are working on cars buuull shit
>>75739831I saw some really ugly and also some really pretty ones working on jets.
>>75739864Oh that makes way more sense. They want pilot dick, they make 500k after service and shit. They are the modern day gundam pilots.
HOW the FUCK do I get back on the wagon? I haven't been at gym in MONTHS. Every time there's some free time I'd rather get FUCKED UP alone playing videogames than go lift.
>>75737645i find it hilarious people dont just do whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want. i work out constantly and i dont give a single fuck about whats going on in life at that moment, my goal is to lift god damn fucking weights and i do it. people are so fucking gay and full of onions its fucking pathetic>what do you mean just workout right now here in public>thats heckin embarassing anon>what, why would i do pull ups on that tree branch people will laughill kill all of you faggots and your fake ass self esteem, that's not self respect that's being a little fucking bitch bending over backwards so everyone else will think you're le respectable upright citizen. little faggot cuck boys afraid to get dirty, afraid to do anything thatll make them stand out, rather hide like bitches.get your faggot ass on the floor and start doing push ups you have no fucking excuse>but i NEEEEED gymill shove you in a wood chipper feet first
>>75737645Someone needs MET in their life
>>75737645When I needed to get back on the wagon, I started up SS again. Only three days a week, and you're mostly hitting everything. Then you're at least doing the minimum, and if you end up wanting more, just switch programs after you plateau.
>>75737645Put away the internet.
>>75737645stop being a faggot and go lift
I injured my lower back on the right side today. Is there any surefire way to tell if it's just a strain or something worse (like a slipped disc)?I felt a kind of "pop" when it happened and immediately knew I was injured.
man up
>>75738651same thing actually happened to me a few days ago. I was doing cable kickbacks and it felt like a rubber breaking in my lower right back.That pop is usually a sign of a muscle tear.If its off to the side its likely not spinal.You think it hurts now wait til tomorrow lol.I probably have a grade 1 muscle tear. A few days in bed with heating pad and I'm already improving. I'm also enough enough roids to kill a horse so muscle recovery happens fast.I'm also on gram of bpc-157 a day for another injury (unrelated to lifting) which may or may not actually do anythingtdlr; rest for a week or two and youll be fine or maybe not
have a bump, cripple
I herniated a disc in my lower back a long time ago. I remember feeling a sliding sensation in my back followed by immediate sciatic pain. The sciatic pain lasted about 3 months. I stretched and did mobility drills to keep my hips and lower back loose it helped.
>get memed into arching my back during bench forever because le competitors do it for a shorter movement arc>work on fixing my lordosis that i acquired from a lifetime of autism>accidentally activate core the "wrong" way during bench and flatten myself out on it>surge of strength from my legs straight to my chest as i finally feel lower body activation during bench press for the first timewho the fuck started the arch back psyop? this is a fucking war crime. is some older fitness guy out there intentionally training the new generation to arch their backs like whores for his pleasure? STAY FLAT ON THE BENCH BROS ITS BETTER
>>75739448Sometimes you gotta arch that back to chest out those last two reps
>>75739448arch back is a psyop to make you gay because that's how women are supposed to look so it makes you look like a woman so gay men will hit on you so you over time think that gay men want to fuck you and because women are fucking bit he's and don't fuck then you think that gay men are your only option so then when you want to fuck one but then because you always arch your back then out look like a gay bottom and not a too so then instead of you fucking the tranny you end up sucking his dick and he cums in your mouth and it's barely no protein so that's a psyop too and fuck them faggots don't arch your back
>>75739578thank you anon i will never arch again.
>>75739448Athletes are taught to minimize or outright avoid the arch because they need to train for genuine power through an ROM that's a bit closer to what will happen during a match (some teams go even further and skip flat bench outright in favor of dips and incline).Thats said, arching is just a trick meant to decrease ROM so you can eek out a higher number to place higher in competitions on a technicality. But it's just that, a trick, and nobody outside of YT Influencers and powershitters actually encourage doing the trick 24/7. Same thing with sumo squats.
I need actual help guys. I've been dating this amazing and hot girl for half a year, and for the last 3-4 months I've been having super low libido and ED problems, both getting and mantaining it. She is both objectively and subjectively hot, but I barely feel like I want to have sex with her (although psycologhically I do), I don't feel aroused most the times we start it, which gives me ED, and to be fair I barely even feel like looking at girls or masturbating myself. I'm 25, barely drink don't smoke, do cardio, eat and sleep healthy, if it was only the ED I could understand it could be the self imposed pressure but what can cause such death of libido. I feel like I've tried everything, is my only option getting my test checked? I feel like european public healthcare won't give me a solution even if its hormonal. Any tip helps, I bagged a dimamond but she's obviously thinking about our relationship's future if sex life keeps going to shit...
Start smoking
send her articles how all western men have been feminized due to estrogens and plastics in the food supply also ask if she'd mind you dressing up in her panties
>>75739515cute girl
>>75739515Ask if you can be her snivelling foot slave, she might keep you around if you don't get jealous when she goes to Chad for dick.
>>75739515Do you still get boners when you wake up in the morning?
Good day fellow Gireveks, ITT we discuss kettlebells. Between a set of kettlebells, a pullup bar, and gymnastics rings, I've replaced the gym entirely (out of necessity). If I could only have one piece of equipment, I'd take a 32kg kettlebell.Easy Beginner Workouts----------------------------------https://www.strongfirst.com/simply-sinister/https://www.strongfirst.com/dry-fighting-weight/
>>75738726I just don't like grinds too much. Mostly snatches and c&j. Basically GS training. If anything, I would do ABC EMOM.
>>75738771I prefer ABC YOURMOM. Feel free to stick to cory chase though
Thought KBs were a meme until I gave it a try and got a 24kg KB mostly for swings but got bored with it and got a 2nd one to do doubles for clean and press, gorilla rows, and front squats. Replaced my home gym with a minimalist setup with KBs and will probably look to get a 32kg KB soon.
>>75738682Have any of you done the extreme kettlebell cardio workouts by Keith Webber? I like the intensity of the workouts.
I’ve managed to make great gains with just gym rings, a weighted vest, and kettlebells. Using this setup, what isolation exercises are best? I found kettlebell curls to be awkward so I do pelican curls on the rings. I haven’t found a good lateral raise replacement since my lowest KB is 16kg and I can’t lateral raise that.
I have fucked up and you know what? I bet tomorrow will be the same plight. Fighting against the instant gratification yoke. Time flying past me. I'm a fuck-up. Nothing short of lowest of the low. Imagining my day-to-day in the third person feels like a joke.>He wakes up, smokes half a pack of cigarettes>after that, he lifts on his workout days, has breakfast and cleans everything>He then proceeds to squander 10h on degenerate behavior>He notices before going to bed:>"man, all that mindless activity sure has taken its toll on my cognitive abilities and my mental ecosystem">"golly fucking gosh, what a mess I am"And instead of waking up and screaming from the bottom of his lungs: "NOOOOOOOO!"He perpetuates his fuck-upedness even further. Every. Single. Day. Without fail. A combined 2000h have been spent on pointless shit. 2 0 0 0 f u c k i n g _ h o u r s 000Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>75738146I wish I had advice for you but I know for a fact my current life could easily become this (and fast) and just like you it would be outside my control. Also know an incredible number of guys that have been downsized since COVID. Just keep your head above water and keep swimming man.
>>75738146>fall for younger coworker>turns out shes also not the person I thought she was, is actually a weird stoner druggie whore.This is every basedlennial who brags about getting college age pussy btw. Yeah she's fucking a much older guy, you think she's a church girl? It's not 1935 bro
>>75732806pics or it didn't happen
>>75732806Which game?
>>75730551i hope it was at least a multiplayer game if he got 5000 hours in cs:go he must be at least decent by now. if it's some single player jprpg tho that's a yikes and a oof.
>half an apple>cup of coffee>36 calories totalI see... I see. I know why people are so fat now. People back in the day struggled to go over 1500 calories a day. Today, you can hit 3k easily with processed foods and eating out. Doesn't that blow anyone else's mind?
>>75739499I miss her James. I miss her alot.

>>75738117It's crazy how drake and josh career turned out. Drake isn't really that much of a surprise, but I expected he would at least last for a little while. Regardless both mogged by Miranda Cosgrove.
>>75738306GLP-1 agonists have been FDA approved since 2005. Doesn't matter if it was semaglutide or an earlier one like exenatide or liraglutide. And even if it wasn't those, meth is prescribable under the name Desoxyn or it could be its positional isomer phentermine.
What was the most valuable thing you ever learned from /fit/? What was the most insightful post you ever read?
>>75739540wait, can you explain why that would be more productive? my retard brain doesn't get it
>>75736151>Fucked up my back permanently doing deadlifts now I can't even squat, which I also didn't really need to do.Dafuq did you do nigger?
>>75737236There's something slightly surreal about seeming someone as fucking yuge as Mentzer just lounging around. It is a nice fern though.
>>75739379I bet one trillion dollars he looks better than you faggot.
Mentzer only work out two days a week, what a liar.
