1) Should I exercise before or after breakfast?
2) Can I sustain myself purely on low-fat curd and not face any adverse health effects? Normal healthy food is either tiresome to make (soup / porridge) and or tastes like dogshit after microwaving (home-cooked chicken / grounded beef).
3) Eggs. Yay or nay?
4) Should I bother with vegetables? I was advised IRL to eat them by a /fit/ friend, but his only points were A) They stuff you up so you wouldn't start eating random shit outside of meals, which is no problem to me since I have good self control, and B) It will make my shits better, which doesn't seem all that amazing. So again, yay or nay?

1) You should have a pre-workout and post-workout meal. Before workout you need some protein and simple carbs to boost your performance, afterwards protein and complex carbs or fat for the slow muscle repair, which also consumes energy. If you're cutting you can replace pre-workout meal with coffee.
2) All nutrients are important, but limit simple carbs to pre-workout and limit saturated fats in general.
3) Yay, and eat the whole egg.
4) Absolutely. Some can be a great source of fiber and complex carbs, even protein. Legumes (beans, lentils, etc.) give you all three.

Literally just fix your diet. You don't even need to work out in order to be 80kg ish, unless there is something really fucked with your metabolism. I only recently got intondoing actual workouts, since I was tired of being skinny-fat, but even then I considered my shape to be average enough.
Main points:
1) Drop all fucking sugar you can find. Energy drinks? Out. Sweetened tea? Out. A snack in the evening? Out. Frosted flakes? You better believe it out. If you want to go a step further, drop ketchup and other similar things that are full of sneaky sugar. At the very least stop using Heinz.
This alone should do wonders considering your current state.
2) Cut all fast carbs. Pasta? Out. White bread and buns? Out. Any sort of cereal? Out.
This is where I am at as I am a bit lazy to go through the next steps.
3) Cut the fat intake. First and most obvious is non-home-made meats, eg sausages. Also in general try to cut all prefab foods. Then, if you do home-cook your meat, do it without oil or butter, aka no frying.
4) Most advanced stage, eat good food. This means REAL greens. Peas, spinache, broccoli, try to find something that you find ok tobeat from those. If you are lazy you can opt for chilled vegetable mixes at the store. Try to eat them along your other meals.

All in all just the first two should do wonders for you as I said. Though I'd also advise some light exercise like going out for a walk for an hour.

>Petty boug food diet
You don't know what you are talking about. Maybe its different in burgerstan (I assume you are a burger because you use the ancom flag), but here healthy food is cheaper than the alternative. Refusing to eat shit that is pumped full of sugar, reprocessed from cow bone or filled with cancerogenic transfats isn't le bougie lifestyleism. Buying eggs, oatmeal, uncoocked chicken meat and vegie mixes is cheap as fuck. As for le gym monkeys, sure, its a bit cringe to want to be le muscle mountain, but in the end the process to become one is just a further goal on the path to get into a descent body shape of not being overweight.

Because you have to struggle against your own habits. But once you change them the weight will be dropping by itself without you even thinking about it.

I find it much harder to change body composition (reduce fat and gain muscle) once your weight is already fine. Lifting is fun, but there's so much more factors involved, diet has to be more specific and strict, good sleep is much more crucial, etc. It takes longer as well.

First lift the woman from the ground then do twenty 4-inch up-down reps at the top, drop the woman for a very quick rest then repeat for a few more sets. You need to aim at high reps and little rest between sets to practice endurance. Once you can do this for 3 minutes you're basically ready.

Do you really think its that hard to unhook from fast carbs?

Also your proposed diet sounds like a good way to get malnutrition, as well as getting to feel like shit all day due to an empty stomach.

Is it wrong to only want muscles to impress girls? Like I know the fitness bros are gonna be like ‘lift for yourself mayne,’ but I dont buy it. I’m sure everyone doing bodybuilding strictly enough is doing it to impress chicks. And I’m also sure the people claiming to do it for themselves is pure cope. Pretty sure bbers start like incels, gain more confidence because of their muscles, got more women and mistakingly thought it was cause of their muscles.

And if so, then why spend years toiling after muscle when plastic surgery or something would be more efficient to impressing chicks.

It's not wrong, and that is undeniably a part of why anyone lifts. Not necessarily girls, it could be to "impress" anyone from family members to coworkers etc., but it doesn't have to be the only reason either. You can pathologize anything if you want, but some, at least partially, want to be healthier and stronger because it makes everything better. Bodybuilders is something else entirely, don't mix that up with regular working out and fitness.

As allways, I take the third, enlightened position, and lift only to help with my weight. Don't give a shit about the muscles more than the fact that maintaining them eats up my excess energy and helps me keep shape, though I guess its cool if I get them as a biproduct, also it has the added charm of me feeling good about being able to raise heavy shit and thus please my ego. As for impressing girls, I find that fucking retarded, mainly because if I need muscles to actually get into a relationship with someone, chances are I wouldn't want to actually be in the said relationship.

I've seen skinny guys, fat guys, short guys, guys that look like the "soyboy" meme, "ugly" guys, balding guys (etc) … all get with fine looking girls. And I mean FIIINNEE looking girls too, whether it's petite girls, thicc girls, athletic gym/dancer/yoga girls, girls with big tiddies, girls with shapely ass, girls with both. I don't believe this theory that you need to be "big/jacked" to attract girls. If you unironically believe that then you are way too online and you need to talk to more people IRL (even if it's by text, DM's or whatever bc the pandemic).
>t. a guy who lifts

The time in my life when I got the most attention from girls was when I was still in school (HS/college). Attention from big tiddy girls too (except that one flat chest asian girl). Back then I was a skinny-to-average guy, the kind of guy you'd expect to see on a cross country team.

Now I'm much bigger, with wider and thicker back/shoulder/quad muscles than back then but I don't get nearly as much female attention nowadays if any at all. Seriously doubt it has anything to do with physique though tbh. More likely you simply have more opportunities to interact with girls on a daily basis when you're in school than when you're an adult at work or NEET or whatever.

Working out or lifting to get big/jacked is fine but it's not necessary to attract girls if that's the only thing you're looking to do.

Oh and "Just b urself" unironically. Having fun, relaxing, not taking life too seriously, making a girl laugh, going on adventures together and making her feel comfortable with you matters way more than whatever you think physique does.

I'm not a bodybuilder btw.

Natty too and always will be… not down to shrink my balls, bald prematurely and mess up my heart and liver. I lift because it feels good, it helps me sleep better, it makes me horny af and I love to wack it and nut to hentai and xvideos and I want to get a big, decades early head start on aging gracefully and living a long healthy life. Scientific studies have shown that muscle mass and strength is very important for helping you prevent slips and falls in older age, to keep you balanced and stable on the feet.

Hello /fit/, I've been working out at home for little over 2 months now, the first 3 pictures are my progress, the fourth one my gear.

My routine consists of:

>3 days per week


<8 sets of 25 dumbbell curls (with the big dumbbell) with 1 minute of rest

<8 sets of 25 triceps dips with 1 minute of rest
<5 sets of 15 upright rows with 1 minute of rest
<5 sets of 20 single arm lateral raises (big dumbbell) with 1 minute of rest
<5 sets of 10 Overhead presses with 1 minute of rest
<200 pushups
<5 sets of 5 zercher deadlifts (adding the cinder-blocks to the barbell) with 2 minutes of rest

Each day alternated with the other set of exercises.

>3 days per week


<4 sets of 50 standing barbell calf raises with 1 minute of rest

<5 sets of 40 single leg calf raises with 1 minute of rest
<8 sets of barbell squats with 1 and a half minutes of rest
<Farmers walk with the cinder-blocks until exhaustion

Each day I try to include core exercises but I don't have proper cushion and end up hurting my back with the floor despite using what is available, so I end up doing planks, Russian twists and leg raises until it hurts too much.

My poorfag daily diet (roughly) consists of:
>Omelette (six eggs)
>Beans
>Rice
>Chicken
>Coffee with milk and cocoa
>3 bananas
>Tomatoes
>Onions
>Carrots
>Lettuce
>Half an avocado (if available)
>Ham and cheese sandwiches
<Daily 20 minutes sun bath to pursue glorious yellow skin-tone
<Kremowka with every meal for peak bulking

How long until I can ascend and achieve the ultimate mode, Papiez Mode? Suggestions of all kind are welcome no steroids or supplements please.

Good work, seems like you're making good progress despite the rudimentary equipment. Arms, upper back and legs have some respectable mass on them - looking like the strongest guy in the Khrushchyovka. Only criticism would be the lack of chest, wouldn't it be easy to incorporate some chest flies or a bench press? Would recommend putting in squats as well.

I'm guessing that you're undertaking a bulk, perhaps put some peanut butter or some seeds into your diet for some easy calories ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcNe1I8X2fg ) [if you don't know you're daily cal intake, calculate here: https://tdeecalculator.net/ ].

I don't know how to achieve papiez mode, but here is a guy following the path of papiez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0FitzQO0MY. All he needs to do is to consume infants.

>Do I have to pay precise attention to what I eat (carbs, fat, protein) to have a defined physique?
I don't think so. It's simple: CICO (calories in, calories out). Healthiest is to balance all 3 (carbs, fats, proteins) with carbs making up most of your calories. You need the glycogen to maximize gains from lifting and/or cardio workouts because muscles are fueled by glycogen.

Follow the Okinawan way. Eat until you're 80% full ( "Hara hachi bun me" ):

Looking thick, solid, tight.
Keep us updated on your progress.

Try some pullovers (both with dumbell and barbell, on floor and on bench/laying on cinderblocks).
And for chest, add some floor pressing.

I mean just with that set up you've got lots of option!
Put that barbell in the corner to turn it into a landmine press.
Use dumbbells as a kettlebell.
Use cinderblocks to do dips and deep pushups.

Lots of good stuff, look at old school workouts for inspo so you can mix it up.

Now, your legs…

I'd recommend doing some hip thrusts for glutes, and heels raised (use that wood block to elevate your heels) front squats (start with the dumbbells in a goblet squat style).

Also try strapping the dumbbells to your foot so you can do raises, that'll hit your hip flexors and lower abs.

Otherwise, looking good and keep going. Consider even asking /fit/ CBT threads just for extra suggestions.

That's because your muscles need more blood flow than usual, so your veins are adapting to that. There's no way around that. And yes, they expand ("pop out") more during exertion, then get less pronounced after some rest.

 No.16388

>>16385
Both. Lifting is also great for burning fat. Also, if your posture is fucked (often the case with skinny-fat dudes) then focus more on pull and back exercises, and stretch a lot.

As for diet - slight caloric deficit and more than enough daily protein. Cut out all junk and sugar. Some inexpensive, low-calorie, high-protein and stomach-filling foods:
>eggs
>sardines
>beans
>greek yoghurt

And have a rest day once in a while where you do nothing and eat more than usual. Otherwise you won't recover and your metabolism will slow down, so you'll get stuck at a plateau. Same goes for your mind, don't stress too much, take multiple days off if burned out, switch your routine, try new exercises, etc.

Ignore the liftcels and start swimming. Best exercise, uses every muscle group. Also swimmers unironically look the best out of all athletes.

I already told you: supersets. Instead of doing all sets (and rests) of exercise A and only then moving on to exercise B, you do 1 set of A then immediately 1 set of B, and so on, with no rest between sets. Obviously it makes sense only if A and B target different muscles, so that one group of muscles is resting while you're torturing another group.
I bet you can cut more than half of workout time this way if you plan your workout carefully. For example, on a push day you might do something like flies (chest), lateral raises (shoulders), skull crushers (triceps). Since all of them isolate those muscles very well, you can do them one after another with no rest, ABCABCABC for three sets of each. Assuming one set takes you about half a minute (8-12 reps), that's 4-5 minutes total. With normal sets and rests (A-A-A-B-B-B-C-C-C) you would be adding 8 mins of just rest.

Okay so question about deadlifts:
I was making decent progress before the pandemic, was somewhere above a 3 plate dead, but every time I did them I woke up with a fucked up lower back the next day. I swapped to hex bar and it helped, but was still fucked. It was definitely injury and not just soreness. First attempt at one today back in the gym after like a year with 1 plate and I strained my back on the first pull. WTF.

The possible reasons I can think of are that 1. my hams are too tight and keep me from being able to use proper form (though I've videoed myself dozens of times and my back is totally straight). 2. My core is too weak to properly stabilize and provide IAP during the lift. 3. My arms are too short and prevent me from using proper form.

Anyone have any advice or better theories? I'm pretty well convinced that I am biologically incapable of doing DLs in a way that won't hurt me. Alternative lift recs are also welcomed.

That's actually really smart, I'm going to try it out.
Right now I have two routines, lets call them A and B if I mix them for a superset should I do AB 3 times a week or should I create another pair of routines and alternate between AB and CD? or can I do this less than 3 times a week?
and should I continue doing 30 mins of cardio 3 times a week? I really like it could go for 40 but I feel like 30 minutes takes too much of my day.

You need to seek out food that fills you up, takes a long time to metabolize, and doesn't have a lot of calories. So dietary fiber, complex carbs, protein, some healthy fats, and absolutely no sugar.

Eat a fixed amount of food and no more, even if you still feel hungry. It takes some time for the body to register.

myfitnesspal has a search engine where you can roughly or exactly count your calories

i feel like most stuff you can just try smaller portions which would be easily to eat less calories
obviously some stuff like dried mangos while may look smaller than regular magoes but have calories

so for some stuff you may have to check to make sure how much they have in

there's a website for calculating how much calories you need to keep your weight TDEE or something
eat below that maintenance level

say you need 2000 calories to stay the current fatty self
then

you should eat like 1600 calories daily to start losing weight without even having to exercise

Isn't she rotating and twisting too much? I think your core should be relatively stable and fixed while you move your center of gravity to the sides.

>I got my first stand-to-stand bridge
I think I may have actually pulled a quad muscle doing this the other day because my leg is incredibly sore today. Careful attempting to stand back up from a bridge anons, it's a huge increase in demand on your quads compared to other bridging motions. Maybe I should train standing up from bridges on inclines or stairs first and progress towards flat ground from that.

Fix one end of a barbell into the ground (e.g. into a corner of a room) then put plates on the other end. This setup is called a "landmine" for some reason.

The benefit of this is that the arc of movement is fixed to the spherical plane so you don't need so much control of the movement as with dumbbells and can thus lift more weight and be more consistent in your form. In some cases I can do more reps with twice as much weight than with a dumbbell variation of the same exercise.

Picrel is the exercise I was talking about in my previous post. I tried spellcasters with dumbbells like anon recommended, but I have to say that I could still feel my core struggle more with this landmine exercise than with dumbbell spellcasters simply because I could work with more weight.

Because dumbbell exercises that emulate something else in a different body orientation often have an unnatural direction of force for that arc of movement, which is bad for joints. Not all dumbbell substitutions for what is usually done with machines or in other sports or simply in everyday functional movements are that great.

With a landmine the arc is at least semi-fixed and direction of force is also slightly different, so some of that unnatural force on your joints is reduced and you can load on more weight. Since it's easier to maintain a proper form you can also do more reps. But at the same it also challenges your stability differently because the force comes from a different angle, so for example the core in general will usually have to stabilize more than with dumbbell variations. If you have a barbell and some plates at home then it's a pretty neat setup IMO.

Muay Thai is more of a sport system without a lot of structure to its conditioning program, meaning if fitness is your goal you'll have to continually meet in a social context to stay fit. Some other martial arts like karate (depending on the style of course) have developed a lot of rigid floor drills that you do on your own just as easily as you can in a group setting. I have done the basic routine for my karate club on my own three times a week for the past year due to social isolation and stayed in fantastic health. Martial arts in general are a great way to stave off boredom in exercise because you can always find something different about your form and movement to improve and focus on for a given training session.

Low impact exercise such as swimming, biking or rowing would be good so as to minimise stress on joints (the last two can be done on machines) . Each of these three have their own programs and routines which I would imagine are plentiful online but a simple routine would be to hop on a bike machine for 30-60 mins 3 or more times a week - your intensity should be at a level where you can still talk but above a "casual" level.

Of course you don't have to bind yourself to this, you could do circuit work, crossfit or even a sport for cardio but each of these has their own demands that you would have to adjust to.

My gym closed during covid and went out of business and I haven't worked out for over a year now. I'm (slightly) fat and out of shape due to this, how does everyone here work out.

I'd be willing to invest in a home gym but i live in a small apartment so its not really an option.

That's probably related to the common confusion between losing weight and losing fat.

>muscles weigh more than fat

Per same volume, meaning they don't simply weigh more (which by itself makes no sense), they are more dense. So your argument would only apply to volume i.e. same volume of fat would according to the above logic be healthier (weigh less) than same volume of muscle. But fat definitely poses a higher risk to health than muscle lol. Of course extremely low fat is also unhealthy.

There still might be some truth to lower muscle mass being healthier to some degree, if you compare a gorilla mode to an otter mode: less energy needs to be consumed, so less food needs to be processed, so less stress is put on body's various organs.

Skinny sticc on the other hand will be dangerous for your joints among other things, not to mention your body being barely functional in everyday life. Otter mode is definitely better.

Intense soreness and/or soreness that lasts more than a day is a sign that your muscles aren't used to working hard.

It's a slang for simple carbs that take a very short time to break down and enter your system, so you have an instant spike in calories/energy without feeling satiated. Whereas complex carbs are gradually processed by your body over a span of a few hours.

Both are useful, depending on what you want to achieve. But if you're trying to lose fat then simple carbs should be avoided, except maybe post-workout (in combination with protein) to give your body instant energy for muscle repair.

I’ve been doing gymnastics a good portion of my life. Front handspring is harder than back handspring and that goes for flips too. Start with the back handspring. You can progress up to it by starting with a twisting back cartwheel kind of thing and gradually start facing more and more forwards when you do it. One thing that helps is to let your hands guide the movement, have your body just follow your hands all the way to the ground. Throw your hands back and follow them
