I thought the science was settled?I guess we're still moving at the speed of exercise science huh

Why is 99% of fitness content now just telling you that tried and tested advice is wrong?
>>76949669Because being a contrarian gets clicks. Just like its gets replies on message boards.
>>76949681You're wrong! Prove it.
>>76948801LIGHT WEIGHT + LIGHT VOLUME = MONSTER GAINS!? (One exercise changes everything!)The science has spoken!
i never trained my neck before but this made me realize having a neck much wider than your jaw is so important.i've got weights to work with up to 200lb if that helps.a signifant difference has to happen in less than a month.

what went wrong???
>>76949606Bro how did that happen? Like how could you be drinking and get behind the wheel (yoke) of a plane? I'm not asking to give you a hard time, I'm genuinely curious about how you got to that point.
>>76949017He got addicted to hardcore street drugs and lost his mind. Unfortunately a lot of these fitness dudes end up going down this route because they get into the clubbing/party 24/7 scene and its a nasty hole to fall into.
>>76949606Why do we self destruct when we get into the life we thought we wanted
>>76949020Too many divine protein shakes
>>76949626It's rather normal in the business. Even in the flight academy we would get out of class and get hammered (instructors would often join us too). Up at 4.30 am reading notams, planning the flight, etc. at 6 doing pre flight check and chugging energy drinks and power smoking to stay awake. I never had more than two mugs during that time, but you get confident and "since nothing happened before..". Many of my classmates fly commercial in Lufthansa or other big ones and are raging alcoholics. Germans were by far the hardest drinkers.>>76949662Yeah I dunno. Low self esteem maybe? That we are not worthy of happiness and love? I do know that I feel so much shame I can't stand mirrors/seeing myself.

Honestly dude, it sounds like you spent 10 years retard-strength maxing, hit your limit, then gassed out and found a different avenue to prgoress. This doesn’t make machines better, it makes you worse.
>>76949474>reads anon's story about progress>criticizes effective workoutAverage /fit/ post
>>76949025Happened to me too bro.
>>76949025sure as hell it wasn't your strength or free weight making you fat it was your diet
>>76949567Free weight progressive overload is a killer on the cns and spikes hunger like a bitch and you need tons of calories for energy to actually make progress Spamming machines for a pump is easy on the cns and therefore doesn’t spike hunger so under eating to get ripped is easy as fuck So yeah indirectly obsessing over free weight strength progression as a training style will make you fat by indirect cause and effect

GLP-1? can i pay someone to lock me in a room and only allow me to eat a certain amount of calories a day? if i have a calorie deficit of even 500 i'm basically ravenous and thinking about food for the last 4-5 hours of the day and have to take sleeping pills to fall asleep at all. i'm not even obese just always been slightly overweight and like 20% body fat my whole life
>>76946969Bag of milk.
>>76945735lyel mcdonalds rapid fat loss diet good.will power iffy but eating 200g protein in a single meal is almost revolting and keeps me full along with coffee and tea tho i dont strictly adhere to it having fruit instead of veggies but it do be like that.
>>76948169>rapid fat loss diet good.Stfu retard. You fat retards need to seriously kys. You can't get it through your fucking skull that you simply need to eat less than your calorie maintain a day. Dumb fucking shit fuck off.
>>76949599The only low IQ retard ITT is you my friend. All people are different, that includes the feeling of hunger. Many people cope with stress by eating. If your life is less stressful than the life of others, I can only wish you to enjoy it be grateful about it.
>>76945735Buy a k-safe. Buy three or four. Portion out your food and then lock the rest away before you start eating.
>start gym in October>need butt procedures so can’t go for 2 months>start again in Dec>tweak back doing barbell rows on third session>can barely get out of bed a few hours laterWhy is this happening to me. I just want to get /fit/.
Lifting is for normal healthy people. You’re a crauchard with ass problems. You need to do isometrics for cripples until you build the bare minimum amount of strength to do the most basic bitch lifts, it hurts but its true
>>76949620relax it was just hemheroids. ive been doing 5x5 from low weights, shouldnt be crazy.
>>76949615>tweak back doing barbell rows on third sessionyour form is bad, your lower back is too weak to do barbell rows, and/or you're using too much weight.unironically rest until its healed and then do deadlifts at least until your lower back is strong enough to support barbell rows. if you want to hit your upper back while shit heals do seal rows.if you're squatting, check your squat form too.
How long does it take you to roll out of bed and get moving?
>>76948037No the light has gone out of my life. I’ll be fine I’m sure, but I’m not doing much more than holding it together for the moment.
>>76948180Same>>76948037Also yes
On workdays, probably about a half hour. I keep hitting snooze, I'll even get up to turn off my alarm clock across the room and climb back into bed half asleep.Weekends, I bedrot for an hour or two then doomscroll until about 3pm when I start getting ready to gymcel.I used to be so much more fun
5 seconds. I don't even let my body aknowledge tiredness, and it passes after 2 minutes while you are up. When I smoked weed it took me a while though
>>769449893-5 minutes but I'm usually getting up for my kids 4-5:30 depending on the dayIf I get a full night, 6:30 on im usually ready to hop up immediately
Does it matter at all which one of these I use for tricep pushdowns?
>>76949148lol
>>76949058Yes. You want to use the stiff straight or angled bar so you can exert as much force as possible because there is no instability introduced by the rope. >b-but much stabilizersStabilization is just keeping balance. Push down is for training the triceps. Might as well focus as much as possible on training the triceps and not worry about trying to get your abs, glutes, or shoulder involved more at the expense of training the triceps.
>>76949072the two parallel handles attached with a V are good for rows.
>>76949058I want to see an illustration on how this equipment is used for tricep pushdowns
>>76949148>How the heck do you bend your wrist enough to keep your hand flat on it?straight people can do it. it's in the name of the bar.

how are you meant to get enough protein everyday just to stay healthy without spending a fortune on food with the rise of inflation?
>>76948723Protein is cheap
>>76948723>without spending a fortune on foodI spend more on food than most people spend on rent just to avoid eating a bunch of goyslop, kek.>t. ~$250/wk grocery habit while bulking
>>76949442What
dont look at protein intake as a daily thing but as a weekly metric, its okay if you dont get all your protein in one day just that the average of your protein over a week is enough to sustain/increase your gains.the amount of protein actually needed is wildly exaggerated and only useful for professional athletes, your dyel ass would be better suited training with more intensity in the gym
>>76948723>try to get a job that's decent in terms of pay and hours>save money so you can investYou should also take care of your financial health, anon. The sooner you start, the better.
Why has fat acceptance been on the rise (among retards, admittedly) in the last decade or so, while thinness is still generally viewed universally as bad or sickly?
>>76948279Ozempic is killing fat acceptance >>76948297He made an Ozempic joke?
being too fat is less dangerous than being too skinny in terms of life expectancy.
>>76949453It actually isn't. Slightly Underweight people live longer and with less disease.
>>76949453fatty cope
>>76949453>being fat reduces your life expectancy much more than being skinny, but it's faster to die of literal starvation than it is to get fat to the point your body just diesFtfy

I don't really know if this counts, but I've been going to the gym and taking it seriously since September. It is true that I had gone to the gym and lifted before, but I had never benched more than 175lbs, taken my diet seriously or followed a strict routine.I've been doing everything I had to do since then, gotten far stronger (I now bench 225x3) and bigger.The thing is that a few days ago I went to my girlfriend's house and saw here father, who I hadn't seen since like the second day of September.Once I had gone home, my girl texted me saying her father had told her I had gotten very big in a very short period of time, and asked her if I was taking steroids. Nobody had ever wondered if I was taking anything before, it felt so good.
