/fit/ - Health and Fitness

>>1697
Honestly, I don't know. All I can say in my experience with small boards is that activity begets activity. But even so, given how dead most boards like this are doomed to be, even 4chan/fit/ is still a better option for the average anon despite all the shit clogging up that catalog.

I don't know if this is an issue you can solve, it's a much bigger issue that affects all of these imageboards in general.

>>1697
Expose the amount of bots and glowniggers who cooperate with the tranny jannies on 4cuck, other than that there isn't much you can do.
I just haven't been using this board because things are going smoothly so far. Most of the activity on 4cuck /fit/ is worthless garbage anyways

>>1697
Man I really want this board to be more active because the alternative are shit, just like >>1706 said 4cuck /fit/ is garbage and from what this is the only /fit/ alternative.
I think the only option is to advertise to outside sources maybe like forums, other imageboards discord.

>>1713
I will crush you with my dumbbells if you ever do that, anon.
Do you want this board to be like /b/?

>>1757
/b/ isn't shit because of the users. /b/ is shit because the mods are retarded.

What does, "Rest of your required caloric from fat" mean from the Keto.jpg?

>>1458
Not entirely sure, however I can no longer recommend Keto simply because of the difficulty in maintaining it both physically and mentally and the toll it takes on the rest of the body. you are much better off with something like Leangains which uses a high protein intake (but not ONLY protein) and intermittent fasting to get results. it is much easier to stay with for long periods of time (going at about half a year now, albeit with more cheat days than I am proud to admit) and gets results. the trick is patience.

>>1458
Consume the rest of your required calories as fat

>the number on the scale
Fren, I've been 165 since high school.  A lean, lifting-heavy 165, a 165 where I was running a lot and not lifting at all, and a completely sedentary and out of shape 165.  I also cut carbs back in 2018 and dropped two inches off my waist, while my weight went from 165 to an astounding 165.  I intentionally bulked one time and hit 180 for a couple months, but that's beside the point.

Your weight/BMI is the broadest, least important measure of how well you're doing, since (as you are discovering) you can gain muscle and lose fat in roughly equal proportions.

So just stay the course, and focus on better metrics: how your clothes fit, how much you're lifting, how fast/hard/long you can run, etc.

>>1866
i mean yeah, it's true, but i'm like double your fucking weight man. or somewhere close to that. 280 ain't healthy no matter how you splice it, i think at best hulk hogan in his prime was around there. i guess it MIGHT be possible, my family's got a history of being muscly freaks that weigh way too much in muscle. thanks lad.

Q: I've been much more consistent with my exercise as of late, but my RHR just keeps climbing.
I believe it's overtraining.

What's a good system to apply here? Rest until RHR drops? By how many BPM? Or rest until RHR drops AND begins to climb again even without exercise?

>>1865
Great job man, you're doing well for yourself.

>I work out with a brother there has been weeks when we didn't go
It's good that you're making it a group activity, but you shouldn't let it stop you if someone in your group can't make it. You can still exercise by yourself, you could even use it as an opportunity to work on muscle groups you normally don't.
>but I still have very thin wrists and small women size hands
The wrists and hands have muscles in them that most big exercises don't hit in a significant way. Consider ones that try your grip strength like pullups, learning about the muscles and doing exercises that target them directly. Video and images related.
>ghetto, poor
Have any spring clamps or anything like them lying around? Try actuating them with one hand. It won't be ideal because the motion isn't very natural, but it's a start. Once you can open it with no trouble then you just upgrade to purpose-built equipment.
>Piss poor bad, I try to cut sweets out for the most part, most of my diet is process carbs,
>because boomer parents had to watch their budget
>has been that way for years
Is your current diet a result of habit or budget concerns? Fixing your diet will go a long way in improving your gains. The body can't build/sustain muscle without raw material to work with.
If you're desperate for cheap protein you could always throw a can of tuna and orange juice into a blender. It's not pleasant, but it's cheap and it works.
>processed carbs
It's a minor concern but try gradually switching over to whole foods(unprocessed ingredients). The additives in premade meals aren't doing you any favors.

>>1863
five days a week is fine, but you should likely rotate muscle groups between days

This is the post of all time.

Anything that goes against the natural way of moving things, like those squat racks where you're pushing down instead of up. Or any machine that has a risk of overextending limbs. Deadlifts if done wrong (which is very easy to do) will turn you into a cripple.

Wtf bros, this shit actually works, I actually became stronger.  I just did 4 clean dead hang chin ups. At the beginning of the year, I tried getting into bodyweight stuff but all I could do was 1 shitty kipped chin up, and I didn't want to do negatives because they were really rough on my joints and tendons, so I didn't pursue it any further. 
I'll continue tugging on my chain, but I might start throwing in some chin ups into my workouts as well, now that I can actually do them.

>nuts
I don't knnnow in what way nuts would be useful for gaining mass if I were to make a diet on them. They are generally pricey and they can hardly be cooked into anything. So I generally eat them raw, which again works mostly as a snack rather than an actual meal/sidemeal.
And about onions, they were high on proteins? Thought they had metals, vitamins or something else, like the spinach is rich in iron. I know my grandfather always eats plenty of raw onions, and I know him to work consistently hard on the countryside, even well into his 80's. Absolutaly respectable I would say.

Anon, my post was about peanuts, which are legumes. Here is the nutritional of peanuts. Also, yeah you're right. Onions are more valuable for their other metals and vitamins. Another thing they're good for is adding flavor to meats and even other vegetables as I mentioned with the green beans and onions stir fry.

>>1468
I am also curious about this, considering how fucked inflation is right now buying meat is about to get a lot harder and i am also about to be unemployed, beans are dirt fucking cheap but I don't know what their ratio in protein/fat/carbs is to a lean steak. i've been doing leangains since January with good results (-25lbs of fat) but it has a very specific diet regimen that I don't want to throw off.

>>1465
>>1216 (OP) 
Any beans will work as a cheap proteins, so do oats.

This is relevant to my interests, because I need your help with a recipe /fit/.

I'm trying to figure out a "barebones almost-beef bean burger" recipe that has the non-mandatory ingredients omitted (meaning, I can add whatever the fuck I want to it within reason, without being afraid of fucking it up.).

Youtube and reddit are usually decent for recipes, but I'm losing my mind getting fucking drowned in recipes that are either vegan trash or add way too fucking many things. Fuck. Even if I add minus tags to reduce the utter hell of shitty search results,  I FUCKING STILL get recipes that just feel like there's far too much non-mandatory bullshit even if it says "simple" in the recipe.


Here's what I do know bean burgers need
*** Of course, beans. from what I've seen, any variety that exists in a can can be pureed for burgers, even chickpeas. It just needs to go through the usual bean-cooking process.
*** Something to keep it stable but mushy enough to shape it before you bake it.
*** Flavors (which as for the barebones part, these will be added in on a per-cook basis, and in this recipe are omitted)

Is there a guide for what to eat/not eat if you want to bulk when you have IBS/gastric colitis? Malabsorption is a huge issue for me, a lot of what I eat simply doesn't get absorbed since my immune system now thinks that my lower intestine is out to get me which is entirely my fault from eating too much processed garbage. This rules out a lot of food used for gains like red meat or anything high in protein since it's too much for my body to handle.
