What would your /fit/ related advice to your 16 year old self be?Mine would be to take up a sport, probably something track and field related, and only treat lifting as an accessory to this. Keep moving, running, jumping, etc, and not just get caught up into this 1RM memery as I've been for so long.
>>76998403>Ask her out>If she says no fuck either of the ginger chicks you friendzoned to orbit her>Also maybe don't get fat in your 20s
>>76998403There doesn't exist such a thing as regret. That's an immediate tell that you don't get it.
Not working on my personality and status, women love a ferocious man with power so despite being handsome and tall they still wont fuck me
>>76998479I see where you are coming fromyou should try perceiving the question as: "If that one thing that happened to you when you were 16 instead/again happened NOW, how would you react differently?"
>>76998403>"don't drink the milk... don't listen to the fat Texan pink man"
>>76998488>"/fit/ related"
>>76998403Go hard in the paint it's supposed to hurt and don't be afraid to bulk. Learn to deal with the fact that you'll have doms while doing other things and that the pain is not a hindrance but an obstacle to overcome
>>76998493Yeah that's a fair question..that's the knowing what I know now. Of course yeah, completely different approach/reaction
>>76998403Kill her instead of just beating her half-heartedly.
>>76998403I wish I did more strength training when I was younger. Build that strength base. I played a few different sports in school but gym work was not a big part of the training.
>>76998403i would kidnap me and drop me in the woods at night with little food and no clothes or something like that. i don't know what advice i would give if i could do only that, talk, but i'm sure it wouldn't matter. i already got lots of good advice when i was a kid, it didn't matter. you can only learn by experience
>>76998403Competetive swimming is good and all, you'll have a great foundation for life but for the love of good pic up some weight. Twink mode can't last forever.
>don't smoke>get better friends>pluck that unibrow and shave off the molestache>do some push ups and sit ups in the morning>don't eat so much crap
Don’t avoid machines. Some fatlus powershitter flipping truck wheels in the gym car park isn’t worth listening to, nor are any of the other people like that. Never, ever deadlift and never listen to powerfatties

>>76998403Intensity is everything. Do everything you do with intensity.
>>76999146This. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t do enough volume. But about 90 percent of the people who go to the gym don’t go anywhere near hard enough. For some reason they think the solution is to do even more volumeI know Mentzer/Yates approach gets memed but if people intensified and simplified they’d see better results than trying to do sixty different exercises for one billion reps each per week
>>76998403In high school I was retarded and wasted all my noobie gain potential by not eating properly. I was going to the gym after school almost every day but my diet consisted of:>no breakfast>strwaberry milk for lunch>banana at 3 pm>peanut butter and jam sandwich post-workout>rice and tuna for dinnerDid it for like 6 months and wondered why I didn't get jacked
Quit messing around at low bodyweights. Commit to a bulk to 200+ and fill out your frame.
