Normie fitness misconceptions

That there's some big secret technique to losing weight when it's literally just "eat less, exercise more"

If I had a nickle for every girl that's wanted me to fuck them just so they could feel me up and down.

Steroids magically make you huge and shredded without lifting

Realistically, Fat does turn into muscle. Your body pulls energy from fat before anything else, aside from whatever you've eaten. Most people think they need to burn the fat before they can build the muscle, and most people are fucking retarded.

That getting cut is about eating and being healthy.

>fat shit corporate colleagues go on meme diet for summer and CrossFit or some equally retarded programme
>lose ‘2kg’ in the first week
>plateau the remaining weeks
>give up
>still be 10kg of pure blubber heavier than they should be

Yep, and they look for any method that avoids this.

protein synthesis you dense motherfucker.

Absolutely. The fact you can't out work a bad diet was a major redpill for me.

fitness is a lifestyle which must be maintained.
you can't learn it, drop it, and stay fit

They come close to it. Someone taking roids alone without lifting makes more gains than someone lifting without roids

>Thinking a bodyweight routine will do Jack shit for the 99% of normies who aren't willing to suffer enough discomfort to make gains
>"Toning"
>But i ran really fast on the treadmill for 30 seconds, that must have burned off my McDonald's breakfast, right?
>I thought you went to the gym a lot and were strong? So how come you don't have a six pack?
>Not training legs, ever
>training five consecutive days, then not stepping foot in the gym for six months
>"Yeah, I keep fit. I take brisk walks"
>Taking six different daily supplements plus protein and creatine, while not exercising
>Supplements are steroids!
>gym muscle is fake muscle, I might be fat but under this layer of chub I probably have a better six pack than most gym douches
>wearing a belt and gloves to do push ups

Sorry newfag here, but what’s the best way to go about cutting on a healthy diet and eating at a deficit? Focusing on cardio moslty with the usual chest/leg/back/abs worked into the week? Also what should I use besides a daily mostuizor to decrease chance of stretch marks? [spoiler] yes I read the sticky [/spoiler]

>Think everyone with slight vascularity and some muscle is juicing
>Think Arnold or Calum Von Moger are natty
>Think lifting heavy weights automatically makes you big
>Think CT Fletcher is natty
>Think the Rock is natty
>Think you absolutely have to spend 5 hours a day on the treadmill and eat only salads to get fit
>Think push-ups and sit-ups get you fit
>Think bench press is the be all end all exercise and will give you a huge chest no matter what

>How can you work out 6 days a week and not have a six pack, I thought you were strong

What the fuck are those last two?

Isn't calisthenics good for maintenance?

That its about working hard every single workout, and not be consistent / stuck to a program and a diet.

>Biceps vertical veins "look photoshopped" and are a sign that you are juicing.
>You can do ab exercises to "burn belly fat".
>person is roiding because "I saw him after the gym and he looked bigger but in the next day he wasn't!"
>you should at least do 12 to 15 reps with low weights instead of 5 with heavier weights
>going till failure every set is the right way to go

Why don't you have a 6pack user?

If you focus on cardio it will kill your gains
Unless youre a fatty its beneficial
Skinny fat like me could use some hiit

Just ask them for a nickel every time. There you go bud, that's just for you.

How much cardio would kill your gains exactly? I guess I’m trying to find the fine balance of gains/fat loss. Right now I’m doing 30 min of cardio when I get to the gym, working out for an hour, and 30 min of cardio before I leave. Is that too much?

Rofl
Like 3x10 sets?
No calisthenics like marines do

Dont qoute me on this.
Depends really on your weight/goals

But your cardio seems good enough? Hiit would be better

Usually 20 minutes ia recommended, depending on what body type ypu are you could handle 25 or even 30 minites before sacrficing muscle gains. Also depends on the time you consume your post workout protein shake (anabolic window can be exploited after cardio too, but be sure to drink all protein within seven minutes)

>They care about money, social status, and whether or not your charismatic.
lol, bluepilled as fuck. face, height, frame

Guess I should be more specific, I basically do 30 min of walking as a warmup/cool down. Usually try to burn 300 cal total. Basically bitch cardio, is that fine for what I’m going for or do I need to go harder to get that balance?

>wearing a belt and gloves to do push ups
Kek what.

>be sure to drink all protein within seven minutes
Kek

You can out train a bad diet. Exercising will givey you some leeway, but you can easily out eat whatever workout you do. Give me a 5 hours, and I'd fuck up a dozen colossal donuts. Each donut is between 350-400 calories. It would take hours and hours of cardio to work that off.

>trust me I eat a lot but just don't gain weight
or
>trust me I barely eat anything but just can't lose weight

Opposite with me. Tried to bulk on oats,sweet potatoes and chicken breast and couldnt even eat enough for maintinence

>trust me I eat a lot but just don't gain weight
That was literally me before I started tracking my food. I always ate when I was hungry, until I was full and never restricted myself. So to me it really felt like I was eating plenty. Turns out I just don't have a big appetite. Now I basically force feed myself every day. Doesn't feel healthy but otherwise I would go straight back to skelly mode.

>Think bench press is the be all end all exercise and will give you a huge chest no matter what
This was true for me, a skeleton. Bench+incline bench=big chest

thinking that a diet is something you do for a few weeks and then go back to eating like absolute shit

I don't know this feel.

I don't think you understand the point of this thread.

We are making fun of statements like the one you just made.

>if you focus on cardio it will kill your gains

Oh, we're still posting fitness misconceptions?

There was a /fraud/ thread the other day that had pics of a guy on Reddit who pinned without lifting and made substantial gains. Someone also posted studies showing gear without lifting beats natty lifting

My normie brother thinks that going to the gym 2 days a week is enough

Enough for what though?

My raw garlic farts are getting out of control. I let off s silent one in class today and I MYSELF dry heaved. I watched two people next to me get up and fast walk out of the class. Had to keep it chill. These rancid garlic and GOMAD farts are ungodly. Help me Rick de La Stick Bugenhagen.

>focusing on cardio will kill your gains
eat more, faggot. cardio is good for you in every way. I still don't do it because I can't stand it, but still

these are facts right here. if you don't get a big chest by doing chest exercises you're doing something wrong

Oh boy there’s a lot

I’ve spent the last 2 years combined working in a gym and/or supplement store and heard plenty

Tone up

skipping breakfast is bad and will make you fat

A toned body, he didn't change a bit in 1 year

If he is content with that, why not? He will still get bigger.

>Eating healthy is expensive
>Junk food is cheaper than health food

too much saturated fat will give you heart disease.

>if you aren’t working out for years you’ll see no results
Alternatively
>if you don't see any results after two weeks it doesn't work

How advanced is he? I made plenty of gains in my first year by only working out 2-3 times a week.

Spot reduction being possible.

>Actually, Mom, spot reduction is pretty much roundly unsupported by the medical literature.
>What?
>Yeah. It really comes down reducing overall body fat percentage, not exercising just one area.
>Well I just don't believe that.

OK.

>tone your body

I also forgot
>it’s mostly genetics some people just can’t lose weight/gain muscle I guess I’m one of them
After a week of Inconsistent and 3 workouts

His stats are these with a bw of 60 kg:
Squat 50 x 8
Bench 40 x 8
Ohp 40 x 8
idk what the hell he has been doing this entire year at the gym desu

>OHP same as bench
Your brother is a tard man sorry

I already know that dw
he told me he is afraid to chop his head off

>protein shakes are necessary

>You're going to go into starvation mode if you don't eat and then you really won't lose weight.
>Even when you're "done" dieting, your body is going to revert back to it's set point and since you losr so much weight, it's going to make you set point higher because you're starving.
>I've always been big, this is how I'm built.
>You need to be careful lifting weights, a lot of those guys get frustrated and take steroids, and those'll kill you.
>I only go to the gym with my one friend here and there, I don't want to get to big.

How absurdly complicated some of them make Ci/Co to be.

I tried to explain to my dad that all he needs to do to shed some pounds is stop eating sweets all the time
He always gets really uppity and keeps telling me that running is all he needs to lose weight
He gained 3 pounds this year and keeps getting angry whenever i tell him

Why are people like this, he isn't the only one i tried suggesting to put down the fork but i always get the same answers like "oh i but i have a thyroid condition" and "but i do cardio 2 times a week and it doesn't seem to be enough

>Colorado Experiment?

If you doubt it you just haven't worked hard enough desu

i fit into that description, a girl asked me out and because i was not a chad like she expected but a pretty ordinary and akward guy she thought i was making fun of her or something and left

Even if we assumed that to be true it would just be an argument towards working out for women since it raises your social status among men which in turn makes women more attracted to you.

You're the retard who's wrong here though.
