>tfw when I'm alone I put on a shirt that is too small so my chest and arms are bulging out and walk slowly around the house flexing when I see my reflection and slapping my muscles and groaning like King Assripper>sometimes I'll accompany it with a huge salty meal and chug a ton of water and creatine after so my muscles swell up (easily another half inch on arms alone) >this is my primary motivation for weightlifting
i'm 22. In January this year I suddenly started feeling like shit. I was working out consistently, eating well, peak physique. Then all of a sudden I started losing my energies and started feeling like a lump in my neck (left bottom side of it), 2 weeks into this I also felt a huge pressure on the high left side of my chest (above to the left of the heart) that felt like a heart attack. Then I woke up one day and both my hands were like dead, felt like I had just got electrocuted.what the fuck? i go to the ER, do bloods, eco to my neck all good. then they tell me its the stomach, check my stomach and its all good. then i go check my heart and its all good. then i go to a neurologist and its all good.from then on, right hand always feels colder than left, I wake up from sleep with eyes burning and sometimes like I wake up from a coma. if i sleep supine i always feel like that for some reason.also i feel slow af in movements and speech but my internal thinking is completely intact, also always fatigued as fuck.tried anti stomach acid, tried anti anxiety, tried anti depressants. nothing works.the only thing i changed before being sick was training my neck, i started 2 weeks earlier so maybe that could be something. im doing an MRI to the neck next week but what else should i check?like how the fuck can someone even go from healthy to fucked up in 2 weeks?no meme therapies please
>>76822296i did a sleep study at home and it did show severe snore and reduced flow, especially when supine. showed it to the ENT and he basically ignored it
You were cursed by a gypsy.
>>76822163You getting enough salt, broseph?In my 20's I got real strict about my diet. Cut salt in an effort to help with slightly high blood pressure. Coincidentally around that time my heart started occasionally skipping beats. Lemme tell you, that shit sucks - you go cold instantly, and if you don't know what's going on it's scary as hell.Turns out, I cut salt too hard. Literally lacked the electrolytes needed for healthy cardiovascular function.Fixed my blood pressure with exercise, and supplementing L-Arginine and L-Citrulline. Went back to eating my salt. To this day, decades later, my doctor talks shit about my salt intake, but my blood pressure is better than ever.Anyhow, lump in your neck, I don't know what to tell you there. If you're American, you can keep demanding doctors look at you until you figure it out, but it honestly may be nothing. Bodies are weird.Cont...
>>76822550As for the hands going numb while sleeping on your back, is it the whole hand, or mostly the pinky?The nerve we call the funny bone runs down the back of your neck, under your collarbone, then across your shoulder and down your arm. It is responsible for control of your pinky and some of your ring finger. If you sleep on your back like the fucking dead, it is entirely possible for your collarbone to lay on that nerve and cause half of your hand to feel numb.The easy way to test this is to prop up while sleeping. Sleep in a recliner if you can - that'll keep you from rolling around and help with any sleep apnea too.And get a damn sleep test. They're usually easy to talk your doctor into and covered by insurance. These days you take the equipment home, sleep in your own bed, and take it back the next day - easy peasy.
>>76822163Well change in energy level and lump in the neck suggests thyroid, but they must have checked that pretty much first... so fuck nose.

>>76810086I watched this webm the way one watches a badly scripted action flick, sitting at the edge of the seat, bursting out, "No, no, don't open that door! The bad guy is in there and he'll grab you and put his hand over your mouth and tie you up and then you'll miss the train and everything will fall apart!" except I have the bone mineral density of an 80-year-old woman and mentally employ a mind-skeleton connection during my lifts the same way I do a mind-muscle connection.(Don't cut below BMR).
can someone explain to me why powerlifters, especially female ones, do this weird little dance before deadlifting?they wiggle their feet while moving their arms around like spasticsnever seen strongmen or weightlifters do it
>>76822534powerlifting is gay
What's /fit/'s verdict?>oh it only triggers for those predisposed to it already!Why the fuck would you choose to go bald years earlier? >le no studies linking hair lossAbsence of evidence != evidence of absence
>>76822466unironically this, ive been thinning and window peaking since my early 20s, who cares at this point
dont worry brazas I took before pictures and just started creatine we will know in 6 months if I go bald.
Why do men always cry about being bald like they're not the only sex that is socially allowed to be bald?
https://youtu.be/buwBs8zpGHY?si=YN2FA5PCqIRePHPjwatch this. Disregard any coping roidtranny/gymcel claiming that “it’s been deboooonked bro”. Creatine does accelerate hair loss provided that your follicles are sensitive to DHT. If you take finasteride you’re basically shielded from this effect
>>76822446I'll just leave this herehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12020143/You idiots go bald because you were always going to go bald. Not because you took creatine.
Why is walking in the rain so kino

>>76821799For me, nothing will beat the kinotude of smoking a cigarette while walking home from the local arthouse cinema at about 11pm in the winter (foggy but not raining) in north England.

When it just feels so good, especially after hard workout?
>>76821276
>>76817530Because giving into your urges means you never develop self-discipline. You're liking a fatty constantly eating.
>>76817530No reason to stop jerking of if you're not having sex.
>>76817941No shit, retard.
>>76821276I jerked off sniffing the hair band a girl left here a year ago, that was the last time I had sex.
What's your favorite kettlebell program? Have you done a 2-day per week program, for example while training BJJ or MMA? What were/are your goals?Currently working on getting 2x28kg up from 5-rep max on the clean and press + front squat up to 10. Doing Dry Fighting Weight (done it before with other weights) and coming off an injury so going slow.
>>76818018I have 1 adjustable KB, the shape is shit so I can't do snatches and most other movements, but it's fine enough for swingsSo I just somethimes add 10 minutes of EMOM swings at the end of a workout as cardio Doing it with 14kg for now, feels good desu
>>76822333Can you post a pic? I've seen some retarded designs so I am wondering which one do you have.
>>76822286I took ABC added reps and a couple more exercises. I did ABC EMOM for 20 minutes with 20kb for about 2 months. I found it tedious, and I didn’t progress as much as I anticipated. When I look back at my logs, I think it was the lack of volume that slowed my progress. Hence this program. We’ll see how it goes.
>>76822345I only bought it because it was on offer, so it was slightly cheaper than just buying the plates (already had the adjustable DBs)

>>76821023what is picrel supposed to do
>>76819654Im actually interested in the opposite. I get paliperidone injected (diagnosed schizo). It usually wrecks libido on people, but not on me, but its like i forgot how to cum. Bitches love it that i can fuck them non stop but they sometimes get traumatised because they think i dont find them hot. Its really frustrating

Men who lost a LOT of weight, how did life change? How did your body start to feel on a daily basis?Do people start treating you any differently? Whether people you know, or strangers?
I lost 45lbs 3 fucking years ago but that was exactly when I changed my location so all the people in my previous life thought I was still fat while the new ones thought DYEL and I’ve been like this my whole life. Only people who noticed the both sides of the coin was family because I had 0 friends when I was a fat fuck. But regarding strangers yes definitely women no more had that “you are a disgust” look but I wasn’t muscular enough for them to eye me all the time. The most important thing is that you feel better and healthier.Now I am once again a 23% bf fat fuck due to stress from the past three years and all the people in my life subtly mock for this shit. I’m currently locked in since 1 month and I’ve lost 7lbs already, some 17lbs more to go and I’ll make a thread on it before the year ends anon
Apparently all fat guys are handsome gigachads underneath who women start throwing themselves at as soon as they're not planet sized
>>76820559Lost just shy of 100 lb over the course of 1-1.5 years (I did a diet break in the middle so I don't remember how long it actually took)The biggest differences are the ones I feel, my body is just so much more mobile in every way, I can actually walk/run/whatever and not feel like I'm dying, AND I don't have to feel like a fat embarassment when I go around or trainReactions from others have been very positiveThe only negatives are that I now realize I'm STILL fat despite being normal BMI, so I'm trying to lose even more to get leanandI did get attention from women once... as in, one womanWho left me kind of traumatized/scarredand somehow I've become a really bitter jaded mysoginistic incel, even tho when I was fat I really never cared about any of that stuffso yeah, overall still worth it I guess
>>76820559I've gone from40% bf absolutely no muscle To 15% bf skeleton To 15% bf 32ffmiTo 8% 30ffmiTo 25%bf (still strong, stopped doing as much volume)To 15% bf (look good, feel good)All over the course of 17 yearsOn the last leg, my ability to chase my kids without getting winded has been the most noticeable along with less general back pains On the first leg, I remember feeling sprite for the first time in my entire life, actually wanting to run and be active The middle to my peak stats was a wild rideWomen make eye contact and old guys all want to stop and talk to you It was a hell of a lot of work and when I stopped lifting so much I had to reconcile my lifting diet/hunger with my new lifestyle which was difficult Comment too long.

Way protein shakes are more expensive than chicken breast are those Jews out of their minds ???
>>76819745You are retarded, everyone is this thread is retarded, and I am retarded for replying. HOWEVER.Whey used to be a cheap dairy byproduct that would otherwise be waste, filler, or animal feed. At one point someone thought it'd be smart to process it to a standard fit for human consumption and sell it as cheap, easy protein. As time went on, it became a signaller for a particular sort of lifestyle (health, BBing, athletics, and similar) and people began buying it to reflect that they do in fact do these things. Once enough people got on the bandwagon, new joiners to the lifestyle thought it was required for progress or optimization, and vendors seeing this trend upped the price. You can also see this with chicken wings. What was once a cut thrown away became a cheap thing to sell for two bucks a pound at a bar. Now people pay ten times that for 'bar food', ignoring or not knowing the fact that it was meant to be a cheap snack in a drinking hole, not some specialty ritual food for game day with the boys.
>>76819862Awful bait, go back to tiktok zoomie
>>76819745convenience, more processes for faster absorption.

I maybe encountered a small handful of others who even knew anything about beyond “Arnold.” Now every faggot and his girlfriend are into it and on drugs and demanding ever more protein, so the cost of whey has skyrocketed. I used to be able to get 5lbs of decent tasting powder from bb.com for like $35, and they ran specials all the time. Now the same amount costs more than double.
>>76822156>everyone thought it was weird, that you were weird for drinking protein shakes, and for pursuing such a hobby. Nah everyone thought it was cool i was playing highschool football. Even normalfags understand its uses for after workout metabolic window.
What went wrong?
>>76820334Never understood why he got popular in the first place, or why he decided to give up his stretchy big guy shtick to become a generic roidtranny
He was already too big there. The era right at the end of Trick Tutorials was the best
>>76821509>his stretchy big guy shtickNo idea as well. His whole being generally athletic and trying different things and meeting specialists like Magnus and Devon was comfy. If I remember correctly, his entire schtick was to make fitness fun and accessible. Then he became, as you say, a generic roid tranny.
Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a private gym is one of the most cucked things you could possibly do
>>76821396Probably took out a decent sized business loan or potentially a second mortgage on his property.
please Mr /fit/ I can't handle more chicken meat than that
>>76820682>can't afford skyr>call other nigger
You /fit citizens consume too much protein, and (mostly) don't burn off the excess or train hard enough to compensate.That's why 50% of you have beer bellies and fat guts
dump frogposter
>>76822064I consume 50-60g of protein. How to eat more? Impossible.
>>76820439Nigga skyr is like cheap af staple food...
What does /fit/ think of Pavel Tsatsouline? Is he just marketing and big talk? Are his books any good?I know he has a book "Super Joints" which might help the glassback assebly here (haven't read).
I see a thread about this bald vodka mongoloid how about you buy a fucking ad you retard
>>76822226Every week*
>>76822225KLOK
>>76822225I'm a Pavel scholar. His earliest books are the best. Super Joints is great. The problem some people have with his earlier stuff is he usually doesnt give a specific program, but more principles on how to design a program.
His books are fucking retarded. 10% actual training stuff 90% retarded anecdotes and Soviet larp. Naked warrior and power to the people are the worst fitness books I have read. Probably the ghost writer of convict conditioning, which is also a bunch of larp retardation and barley good information.
Is bloodletting good for you? It burns calories and is the only way of getting rid of microplastics.
