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.

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

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.

What does, "Rest of your required caloric from fat" mean from the Keto.jpg?
Replies: >>1489 >>1559
>>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.

This is Grizzly, your overlord. I am aware that this board has been dead for quite some time, and that is my fault. I have been very busy with life's endless stream of bullshit and as a result have fallen behind in not just my lifting, but every other meaningful thing I've wanted to do with my life as well. Now that I'm working back into a manageable schedule, I'd like to use this thread for a little experiment.
This thread (and hopefully the ones that come after it) will be a daily journal for anons to chronologue their fitness journeys. After each workout, post what you did, how long you did it, what you did it with, and anything else that happened that pertains to fitness. There is already a similar thread like this one >>32 focused on running, but I would like to expand the workout journal idea to all forms involved, including lifting, cardio, dieting, and anything else that may be of interest to fellow /fit/izens. Yes, it is blogposting and I will not attempt to disguise it as anything else. But it's a good way for anons to share advice with each other on maximizing gainz and bringing up the PPH for the board as a whole.
So with all that being said, tell us about your workout today. You DID lift today, right?

I've been doing planche pushups for a few months.  Just rehabbing old injuries that act up when I'm too sedentary, very half-heartedly because I'm pessimistic about the future.  This means a lot of high reps/low volume shit which I'm told is good for your joints and ligaments because it encourages the growth of "blastocysts."  I'm just like "okay" and do the reps and don't risk overextending because I don't want to injure my garbage shoulder.

About 5 days ago I decided to get out of the comfort zone and add more challenge, which is done by progressively lowering my hands toward my waist when doing the pushups.  It leverages a larger proportion of your bodyweight than normal pushups, until your hands are at your center of gravity and you're (figuratively) bench-pressing yourself off the ground.

I was shocked at the result.  I was incredibly sore in back muscles I haven't managed to target for years.  Lats, traps and delts, and others.  From modified pushups! lmao.

I couldn't wait to try it again and push the progression a little further, which I did tonight.  Feels fucking amazing.  I'm going to research some core stuff to add to the routine, maybe on alternate days.

>I don't why people don't respect me and treat me like shit when I did nothing to them. 
People are pretty fucked up these days.  Anons used to be the unhinged ones screaming racial epithets at each other, but now from where I'm sitting, anons are the stable ones.  We just wanna play vidya, shitpost and do jigsaw puzzles without names to squabble over like nattering hens on facebook.

As much as you might want something out of normies, you have to accept that they're like stray beasts of burden and that to get mad at them or to harbor resentment toward them is like Ahab getting mad at Moby Dick.  i.e., he spends the last years of his life in a perpetual tism-fit, then gets himself and his crew killed because he couldn't get past it.

Your city might be responsive to requests to clean up the graffiti, and might even have a form on their website for filing reports.  They probably won't do if without someone nagging them.  Canvassing your neighborhood to get volunteers to do a cleanup can have good knock-on effects.

>planche pushups
I want to do more calisthenics because I could barely do more than 20 regular push-ups. When I'm not able to go the gym I'll do a circuit mainly focus on pull-ups and chin-ups and switch to squats or abs or incline pushups at a local calisthenics park. I think that without watching a vid and having someone there watching your form  at the calisthenics park   most of the equipment is useless because the diagrams they have on display aren't helpful.  I shouldn't of mention I've been stuck at 155 for 5 and 165lbs for 2 for over a year on flat bench, but I could deadlift 265lbs for 5 with mostly intact form and this anon >>1736 >>1737 >>1739
>Anons used to be the unhinged ones screaming racial epithets at each other, but now from where I'm sitting, anons are the stable ones.
Use to call anons niggers and other racial slurs and other slurs for the lols and board culture. But I did felt regret typing nigger out because I had black friends and black people helped me in life. But at the same time a good amount of people that fucked me over and messed with me were black, for the reason I was a autistic white boy in a majority black schools. I don't hate all black people just hate ghetto people regardless of race just majority of blacks choose to be ghetto and not going argue back and fouth and why ghetto culture should be excused. 
>We just wanna play vidya, shitpost and do jigsaw puzzles without names to squabble over like nattering hens on facebook.
The thing I stopped playing vidya years ago, never was into the jigsaw puzzles I was more of a mspaint risk kind of guy and skribbl kind of guy. Wish there was more cytube streams.

It's not just along the river it's on alot blocks. Same with flavored cigars, needles, alcohol cans and bottles, just everywhere. There's a local guy people call "Can Man" that picks on the trash littered all over around my neighborhood.

I forgot to mention jackknife pushups.  I had already done my sets of planches so I couldn't do much with the same muscle groups, but the whole handstand progression is really cool and I'm going to be using it to change up the planches so that my muscles don't get bored.

Therein lies the need for transformation, starting with outgrowing the mindset that says "I can't" and which provides only excuses.  Everything else is indeed a non-starter otherwise.

Depends on what movements you want to train your body to be good at or comfortable with. I'd recommend regular squats with free weights anyways.
Why do I feel like I want to throw up after training to failure even though I know that actually throwing up would feel terrible?
Is there a book that's like a cookbook only it just lists different kinds of exercises?  States what equipment you need, time estimate, aerobic/not, what it's good for, has some pictures to show how to do it?

Is there a website like based.cooking only for exercises?

You get the idea.
Which exercises have the greatest risk of injury if done incorrectly?
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.

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.
