My 'smart' watch says I burn 4200 kcal today (I ran for 2 hours slowly but in the hills & walk a bit downtown later on)
I am 5'11 and 165lbs that seems like a lot of calories.
Is it possible or is this stuff way off? It takes my heart rate all the time but I don't know if that makes it more accurate.

Is intermittent fasting a meme?

Is it true that undereating permanently damages your metabolism, or is this a lie by fatties?

I want to lift weights every day, how can I get away with this?

unironically I was serious and am a gay man who’s s/o prefers slimmer physique

anyways, so it seems unavoidable that I’d lose lower body mass as well :(

You can't 'permanently damage' your metabolism.

Could I cut weight from 165lbs to 145lbs? I would like to be 145 for a fitness test, but I'm already pretty lean at 165.

I'm 183lbs and my stats are less than stellar I'll admit. I'm stalling. Do I just need to eat more? I started at 170lbs. At the end of my squat sets I just feel like I have no energy in the tank.

Also, if I'm stalling on squats when it comes to MY plateuing weight, is it better to cut it down to 3x3 instead?

*5x3 I meant

I'm trying to build up my knees and core so I can get into a proper compound squat routine. Is it advisable to do bodyweight exercises targeting these places every day until I can move up into a barbell squat or would I not be able to recover from a daily routine.

6'0, 184lbs as of this morning. Started a month ago at around a low 170's, with only the previous three months of casual no-fucking-clue-what-I'm-doing lifting. Happier with any results. My squat is so shit because when I started I was in the middle of a recovery of really inflamed tissue in my left knee from a hiking incident. Diddly is so low because homegym fag and just got more weights.

Other than that I'm starting to plateau on the other lifts. Especially squats. Which is pitiful. Do I just eat more than I already am? Since I started I don't leave leftovers, I just eat what I make, which is normally double what I eat. I'm only taking one scoop protein before my workout. I workout in the mornings about an hour after I wake up, or whenever I get out of uni. I just feel like there's nothing left in the tank at the end of my sets.

What's the word on mass gainers, is maltodextrin really that bad? Non-maltodextrin mass gainers? I really don't want to have to eat my entire caloric intake as chicken/rice/broccoli.

Mass Gainers are a scam, just a bunch of overpriced powder.

Eat real food, don't be a faggot. If you can't get your food in solid just make a shake, it's stupid easy.

what is /1/ /2/ /3/ /4/ that everybody here posts about?

>chicken, rice, and broccoli shake

mmmmm fresh rice goo from the blender. jk but why specifically is it a scam? if it serves the purpose of getting nutrition is a super fast way versus eating then it would serve my purposes, though i am a bit cautious because of the industry's scandalous nature. i guess i could eat oats and pb alongside my other meals

how many pl8s you can do on OHP, bench, squat, and deadlift, respectively. it is a popular fitness milestone

this question is more of a question that doesn't deserve to be on Jow Forums because google exists, rather than QTDDTOT, though

there could be many reasons but occam's razor says your valgus collapse is caused by attempting to squat weight that is too heavy for you

I'm only squatting the bar.

I only have access to machines (I also do basketball on Mondays and plan to swim this summer). How do I know what the best amount of sets/reps to do? I have been doing like four or five sets of ten on everything. My goal is somewhere near ottermode, and I am starting from somewhere near skelly.

How improve rotator cuff and rear/side delts? I have shoulder instability and little to no restraining tissue over my left SC joint (collarbone moves around)

Do calisthenics

FAce pulls erryday

Fat female piece of shit, primary goal is to lose weight but wouldn't mind toning up also.

When I'm doing weight training type work outs, is it better for me to do less reps with a more challenging weight load or do more reps with a less challenging weight load?

My fullbody workout takes little over an hour. Is this normal or too much?

Also, when deadlifting, I pay attention to my back to keep it straight, but when I go heavy, I can feel my upper back bend just slightly, i doubt it's even detectable visually. Is this normal or should i deload and focus on form? I had my form checked a week or so ago, but should i have it checked again?

could try Y squats at home first (where you just hold your arms up in a Y shape) but idk m8, in extreme skeltal cases it's hard to really know without being there

Try squatting half a bar.

5 years whith very unstable rotator cuffs,
i cant do much chest workouts without my shoulder muscle taking over or my joints starting to feel warm and irritated

I have a smart band that tracks calories burnt/steps taken. But the problem is not all steps are the same, I walk maybe 8000 steps a day but half of those are going upstairs, is there any real way to determine real calories burnt or if this affects steps taken?

Does having tits make you unable to read the sticky?

Please lads, any clue? it is at 4460kcal now?

More reps with a less challenging weight load. That being said the vast majority of your weight loss will come from the kitchen not the gym. Throw in a bit of cardio at the start or end of your workouts and you will be shedding pounds in no time.

Thanks, I'll definitely be able to fit them in easier over the summer. What about the sets/reps when I'm in the actual gym and how adequate it is for me achieving my goal?

That sounds way off. Unless you're a marathon runner, you'll have trouble hitting 2000 kcal per day at your weight.
What smartwatch is it? Asking so I can avoid it.

Realistically, who is likely to get more female attention: someone who is below-average height with a handsome face or someone who is tall and plain/ugly?

The former. Wait, is this Jow Forums? I meant to say:
lmao of course the tall guy wins you stupid mantlet. when will they learn lol

Is there such a thing as eating too many vegetables? Every day I eat about a pound each of carrots, spinach, broccoli and kale, on top of oats and steak and shit like that. Is there any problems with that? Is it good? Idk why I even do it I just like vegetables

Anyone here get TICKED OFF when you hear parents tell kids to "get a good job and the right girl will like you"? Essentially setting the kid up to be a cuck provider from the moment he can think. A girl didn't like you when you were unemployed but all of a sudden likes you? You are the constant in here, you haven't changed. The changing variable is your income and the girl's attraction. She likes your money not you. Fucking hate it how parents tell kids to be some fucking nerds in a cubicle instead of telling them to do sports,join clubs, and develop interesting personalities. Just wanted to rant about this, been in my mind for a while.

have been working out for like a month

175 lbs at 5'7 so skinnyfat

i started out being unable to do pushups and can do around 15 now (in one set of 10 and then only managing 5 on the next)

this is really pathetic and i was wondering what the best way of progressing this is

Whenever I do hanging knee raises I feel it more in my back as opposed to me abs, is this a simple form problem or something else?

Is there a way to do SS only twice a week? I only get two days where I can go to the gym, maybe just do: A B A B A B A B, etc?

As long as the days are nonconsecutive, I don't see any reason not to do this. You'll just progress slower.
Maybe it would help to do a bodyweight routine on your third day? You might want to search around for people who have the same problem, see how they're dealing with it.

Thanks I'll take a look around. Otherwise I could always skip the optional assignment sessions on Wednesday and try to squeeze it in there. How long should a full workout be? One hour? More?

Dairy protein powder doesn’t sit well with me. Is a vegan protein powder blend ( a mix of brown rice, pea and hemp ) inferior or just as good as whey. Thanks

What routine can i follow in a hotel gym (mostly dumbbells, a bench and maybe one isolation/cable machine) to keep my gains and get a pump?
Planning eating a lot and going out every other day.

Learn guitar,

Scales, barre chords, arpeggios, fingerstyle compositions

Can Jow Forums give me any tips on my PHUL routine? I took it off the internet and modify it with advice taken from these threads.

I wasn't obese, lost considerable amount of fat, no appreciable muscle mass loss, cutting was easy, saved a lot of time on meal prep/feeding.
I'll stick to it during recomp summer.

Do some kind of split like PPL, UL, etc.

GOMAD
Drink calories
Drink less water
Eat standing up
Eat up to 20% of fast food
Snack frequently
Snack right before sleeping and if possible, in the middle of the night

Squatting an empty bar would be +/- like squatting 2 15-20 pound dumbbell. Did you already try it?

You'll probably have better feedback on the routine general

When beginning lifting is it better to do less weight to get form down and develop a mind muscle connection so you can target specific areas or just go right into compound excercises and lift heavy?

the smoothie consists of real food right? lol, it's fine to have more calories from that if you need to.

Am I the only one who watches anime on the treadmill at the gym?

do the opposite the sticky say

lifting shoes might help

try ez bars

google 100pushups

if you're asking that question, any protein source will be enough for you. especially, if it comes from real food

lifting with bad form will get you injured. not cool. you're stating light for a reason

I try to limit it to one hour.
I use an app (free, I’m not shilling) called strong to track progress and rest timer

On phase 2 of Starting Strength to build a decent foundation. Trying to plan ahead for my next routine, want to do something based around aesthetics instead of just strength.

Should I PPL, Brosplit, or what?

Should i cut or bulk?
i want to keep bulking but im self conscious of my growing belly fat; not use to it being there

im a bit overweight, should i do starting strenght or should i lose weight first?

cut

How much liver spread can i eat on toast til it is vitamin a overdose google is too slow

when you cook meat, do you weigh it before or after you cook it?

cut

I'll give you 5 reasons:
>overpriced
>full of sugar
>tastes nasty
>Very few servings in a single batch
>You can get all of its offerings from regular food that's 1/5 the cost and tastes better.

Need calories easy? Milk, olive oil, protein powder, peanut butter, oats. Throw in a blender on high, combine. 1100 cal, 77g brotein, only like 23g sugar. EZ PZ

After adding weight - i.e 2x25 - to the empty bar, I can't feel my hamstrings while doing RDLs.
What am I doing wrong? Already checked multiples videos from ripp, to Alan thrall.

Hey Jow Forums, haven't been here in years, getting my life back in order and its finally time to make it, just as zyzz said I would.

So, what's the best way to go from overweight to Bishounen (anime pretty boy) mode?

I know I got to burn all my fat, and already making dietary changes but whats a good lifting routine to get there and keep it? thinking SL for now, 6'3" 232lbs

I also plan to do sprints and maybe swim on non-lift days.

Is it fine to do HIIT and LISS back to back? Was going to box for HIIT about 12-20 minutes and elliptical for LISS about 1-2 hrs.

Also, if I shouldnt do both, which would be better for a fat fuck trying to lose weight?

Attached: 370890683_cfa3f36fe3_z.jpg (500x362, 94K)

5g

Not a cardio specialist but, i thought the purpose of HIIT was to simplify the cardio effort to maximize energy expenditure on the smallest time frame possible. Doing LISS on top of that is kinda defeating the purpose. I do both but on separate days.
Save your energy to lift heavy, add HIIT sessions here and here to help fat burn. Leave LISS for when you feel like it, ideally, lifting rest days.

Build a strong foundation with SS, 5X5, or one of the others. Consistency x ∞

At your current weight I'm not sure sprints or long distance running would be good. Swimming sounds good though. Make small changes so you don't quit.

My qt peepee: Help, I want it all; will I be overtraining, and what alterations should I make?

Planning on PPLXPPLX.
The first 3 days will be following the 531 format for the main compound lifts, bench and OHP on day 1, diddlys on day 2, squats on day 3. They will be followed by 2-3 hypertrophy assistance workouts including abs, likely 5x12. Rest a day. The next 3 days will be light weight and focused on hypertrophy. 4-6 different assistance workouts. Each session will end with 1.5 miles on the treadmill at 9 mph. So a little over 10 minutes. Except for leg days where there will be HIIT training instead.

Not that I know of. If you've got access to dip bars/captains chair/pullup bar then do leg raises.

In all honestly losing weight is 90% diet. Exercise will help, but you can't out-exercise a bad diet. If you've never lifted before do SS, if you've got good form down, start low weights and do GSLP until you hit intermediate levels.

Even better, you can do hanging leg and knee raises.

I mean that's almost no weight for a deadlift of any kind. Typically you want to be lifting 135 lbs minimum, your back can easily handle 50 lbs or less for extended periods of time.

Before. The main reason meat weighs less after cooking is due to water weight content. Safer macro-wise to measure beforehand.

both

Milk, beans, rice, oil, chicken, steak on manager's special then putting it in the freezer, protein powder (myprotein if you're really strapped for cash)

you might swinging a little. It's hard at first but focus on getting it right

But i can deadlift 3pl8 double overhand without lifting shoes or belt.
The point is, i can feel the stretch in my hams, when i do RDLs with the empty bar, but i no longer feel them after 95 pounds. I do feel them on leg curls at 220 pounds though. Should i ditch the RDLs for good?

Bump.

how come nobody talks about sunflower seeds ? they seem like a pretty good food. 30g which is a tiny amount has 180 calories and 6g of protein. Seems like a pretty good food but whats the catch ?

muh phytoestrogens

but Eric 'THE BUGEZ' Bugenhagen recomends them

Can I alternate back and front squats on Jow Forums's Greyskull LP? As in fronts on Monday and backs on Friday.

I actually love seeds and I eat them here and there. I wouldn't advise making meals out of them but if you're bulking definitely eat a handful or some after working out.

i eat about 90g of sunflower seeds a day

What can I do to lengthen my running stride?

So now that backpage is taken fown in the U.S. what site do you guys use for escorts? (Asking for a friend)
