/fit/ - Health and Fitness

I'm seeing contradictory information on low weight, high rep routines. Some people say they're worthless, but apparently a lot of old bodybuilders were successful with high rep routines. Are they useful for performance, or strictly hypertrophy?
I'm completely new to lifting and don't want to buy more weights than I have to, seeing as gyms in my area are currently fucked.

>>45
Bodybuilding is a gay meme and to this day I still don't understand how people still think it's possible. Just do some light exercise everyday and you have already look your peak. No amount of exercise is going to make you look buff (as fuck) unless you are a fat ass which defeats the purpose. The only reason those bodybuilders look the way they are is from drugs.

>>41 (OP) 
Is it ok to train biceps and chest at same time ?
And is it ok to increase the weight and dercrease the number of repetition after each set ? like for example :
I did 10kg bench-press 12 times then the next set I do 12kg but 8 times.

>>51
If you legit have no strength to finish the reps, then it's fine, but you should still try to to finish them. Ask someone to spot you and give you a little help if it's necessary.

This really doesn't answer my question. I'm interested in whether or not high rep low weight sets are beneficial for someone who's not lifting for looks. When I said "old bodybuilders" I'm talking about Eugene Sandow old, not Schwarzenegger old.

Does anyone recommend a daily and morning stretching and workout routine?
>>59
In a way that looks like nitschze

Are men like Eddie Hall, Martins Licis and Julius Bjornsson so strong due to peak genetics or can somebody reach such an impressive strength through sheer training and dedication?
Mainly asking because every time I see them in videos I feel like that even if I really tried, I could never come even close to them.

>>69
Does it matter?

>>70
Yes. Are they merely an exception to the rule, a super rare genetic miracle that may get forever lost if they die, or can any determined man reach, or at least come close to, their status if he trains hard enough?

>>71
But I mean, if you found out for sure that you could never be as strong as Eddie Hall, would you stop training? Strength is relative, the weakest gorilla around can still rip Eddie Hall's arms off, so the only comparison that matters is to your own self. That's how I see it anyway.

>>72
>if you found out for sure that you could never be as strong as Eddie Hall, would you stop training?
No
> the weakest gorilla around can still rip Eddie Hall's arms off
Gorillas are way weaker than the retarded 1920s tests claimed. But unfortunately the shit information about them from back then has become the norm layman knowledge nowadays. You too are a victim of this misinformation. Gorillas can't rip your arms off, anon. They are dumb animals and Eddie would fucking kill them in a fight.

Arnold liked to do both. He'd warm up, then do a weight he could do no more than 15 (Might have been 12 but I can't remember for sure. Doesn't matter too much just go with what you like.) reps with, then something he could do no more than 10 with, then 8 then 6 then he'd try to squeeze out another 6 reps. He would also have designated "heavy days" wherein he'd do heavy weights for low reps.
Reason for this is that while bodybuilding is more about looking strong rather than being strong and high reps are certainly better for getting more mass, high weights are what give them a harder, more aesthetic appearance. So he concocted this routine to get the best of both worlds: The lean mass of high reps and the hard, shapeliness of high weight.
Outside of aesthetics, it has its pros and cons. High reps at low weight puts more strain on your ligaments which makes them stronger but also gives you mad DOMS. It also doesn't do much for your strength but its good for muscular endurance.
Personally I favour high weight, low (2-5) reps, but I always start and finish with with my 10-15 rep weight. It seems to be working.

>>48
Shut up, you misbegotten cuckold. Just because you're so inbred that you look like those agent orange kids in Vietnam doesn't mean the rest of us won't make it.
Yes most, if not all of the bigger, leaner guys use(d) roids. But there is no shortage of ripped/swole guys out there that have never touched anything harder than coffee and onions. The only catch is that none of them are happa or jewish, so you have my condolences.

>>51
>Is it ok to train biceps and chest at same time ?
Yes. You're most likely going to be doing bench press for chest which doesn't touch your biceps.
That being said, I'd advise against bothering with curls as a beginner unless you personally have a special reason to isolate biceps or you only do them as an afterthought. Beginners are better off doing compounds like chin-ups and rows.
>And is it ok to increase the weight and dercrease the number of repetition after each set ?
Of course! Basically everybody does this and it's the best way to train because your light sets warm you up for the heavy ones.
And, of course, spotters are always a good idea. Especially if you're new because they can help with your form. Don't listen to the nigglets!

>>58
Yes. Personally I like to suck femboy dick. The cute noises they make when you tease their feminine cocks are out of this world and the high fruit diets they typically eat make their cummies the most delicious thing you could ever eat.

>>65
I do not, but have this (you) instead.

>>69
The simple answer is "Genetics.". Chances are, you're no threat to the World's Strongest Man title.
However! You should still train to be the best you can be. Being the 1000th or even the 10,000th strongest man in the world is still incredibly useful, respectable and sexy, and unless you look like the bone goblin, you don't know what potential your DNA holds. There are so many timid lardasses and scrawny lanklets out there that have potential, but they don't see it because they waste their lives playing World of Warcraft.

<0 arguments
No, surprise that you're really retarded. I argued why you're wrong about gorillas. Another thing to note gorillas have incredibly dense muscles and also have way more muscles than we do and on top of that can absorb twice more nutrients from eating numerous amounts of food from eating due to their large stomachs. This is something a bodybuilder does not have and can't do, so a gorilla absolutely would kick your ass.
<yeah well, you see, this one time I saw a gorilla tear down a banana tree!
There is no one time dumbass they do this often, gorillas fuck up trees to get bananas, or for pure entertainment. You still haven't brought a proper counter argument.
<This is ultimate proof of how supernaturally strong gorillas are. Humans stand no chance, not once, not ever. Gorillas will kill us all in an unarmed fight.
Didn't I just say that they are  twice the weight of the average body builder? If you want to toe to toe with a gorilla then go ahead I wouldn't stop you as a matter of fact I would pay a ticket to see you get your ass beaten crying like a bitch. The only way you would win is either the gorilla is an absolute retard to not know how to fight back or need a weapon to win otherwise a gorilla one on one in an unarmed fight is going to beat your shit. None of what you said contradict nor counters my points, but only putting words into my mouth, because your nigger brain can't do any proper research whatsoever.

The idea of humans "fighting" wild animals bigger than themselves is so stupid I don't even want to argue about it. Being in a fight with feral nigger human who isn't trying to use technique and is just swinging wildly is hard enough, fighting a 300 to 500 pound animal with enough grip strength to pop your skull like a melon, that also bites, is out of the question. Normal humans can barely handle 12 pound feral cats for fucks sake, even housecats have driven off burglars.
Also elite powerlifters are shit at fighting anyway because they have to spend all their time lifting instead of developing skills. 90% of any weight division in the UFC would fuck up almost any pure strength athlete. Not that it would make a difference in "man vs gorilla".

Dude we are talking about the strongest men on the planet, not just really strong guys. A genetically average guy could become ridiculously strong with the right diet and hard work, but it takes a genetic ubermensch + hard work + passion + amazing diet to become The Strongest.
As for Eddie being a jew? The Ashkenazim are weak due to inbreeding and disgenics but they also have shitloads of european DNA and outliers do happen. Also, all it takes to be considered (((chosen))) is for your mother to be (((chosen))). Ergo, you could have a line of girls marrying big, 100% goy scottish highlanders dating back to a jewish woman in the 18th century yet their descendant is still technically jewish. So I would ask you to elaborate on Eddie's jewish heritage before you dismiss him as genetic trash.
>left-of-field vegetarian shilling
Are you that Hitlerposter from the other thread? Remember that Hitler wasn't a vegetarian when he was in the military. He only stopped eating meat after he got a job where physical prowess was of secondary importance. It's all good and noble to not hurt animals, but you're not proving much when you are, by your own admission, a DYEL. Being skinny and flexible works for you, but it's not for everyone.

>>107
If those monkeys didn't have guns or machetes, that silverback could have easily massacred the lot of them with his bare hands. I don't know what you're trying to prove besides that you're a subhuman. A cow that spends her life fucking around the pasture can outlift any man. I don't see how a cow-sized man that spends his life doing gymnastics while on a bulk is gonna be weaker than a man-sized man. Not to mention this cow-sized man's muscles are, kilo fo kilo, "1.5 times" as strong as the man-sized man's.

>>124
Hitlerposter here, that's not me. My views on vegetarianism are more nuanced. I think from a conventional science point of view, a balanced diet including meat is nutritionally superior to vegetarianism, and I'm not opposed to eating hunted meat when I know who shot it and prepped it.
That said, I think (((factory farming))) is unacceptable, and I unironically believe in qi, and that slaughterhouses will permeate the meat with negative qi that will at best, cause anger, anxiety depression or stress, and worst case, cause physical illness.

>>125
Yeah I can totally agree with that. I need to learn how to hunt so I don't need to worry about if my meat came from factory farms or those poor chicken-like abominations that can't walk.

What are some high protein lunch combos I can buy without raping my wallet, bring to work, and have them not taste like shit?

>take ingredients that have a high protein/cost ratio
>think of nutritious things you could cook with them that are still enjoyable the next day
>cook those things, but with a greater proportion of high-protein ingredients
That's my strategy.
Soups are good because they are better the next day and make good use of bones and cheap cuts. They suck if you don't have a microwave/stove at work though.
Chicken, eggs, milk, bugs, mushrooms, lentils and beans are good ingredients to use. Combining beans and rice is an ancient alchemical trick to materialize extra protein from The Void.
I like to cook stir-fries, omelettes, curries, chankonabe, minestrone and chili con carne. Also you can just do something like bring boiled eggs, protein shakes, fried/baked/raw meats and other standalone protein foods alongside whatever fruits, vegetables and carbs suit your fancy, rather than making singular dishes.
Also consider using organ meats. They are very nutritious but most people find them repulsive so they are also cheap as shit. Personally I find liver to be disgusting but birds seem to have rather enjoyable livers. I sometimes like to make stroganof but I substitute 1/3 of the beef for chicken livers. Don't eat liver too frequently though! It'll give you vitamin A poisoning if you do.

>muh banana tree
I didn't even have to spend more than 1 minute to find 2 people beating the shit out of these trees. And both of these men probably weight 1/5th as the retard gorilla in that other video, which says a lot. 
>Australian punches a banana tree until it breaks and falls: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x65hv4k
>Muai Thai monkey kicks a banana tree until it falls. 2nd kick pretty much did it, 3rd kick finished it off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gloGY3UDZDo

There is no doubt in my mind that if they simply wrestled the tree it would snap just like with the gorilla's. Instead they're kicking and punching it to show off.

Your post didn't debunk shit and my previous post clearly illustrated how you are wrong even if the link you posted was 100% true. Please consider suicide, you shit-smeared retard.

>>137
The fact that you think a banana tree disproves that gorillas are stronger than humans is hilarious. Banana trees aren't even a good example of comparing human and gorilla strength at all considering that banana trees are as tough as an most trees, which is why these guys were able to beat it down with fists and kicks. If you want to disprove that gorillas aren't strong then why don't you go fight an actual gorilla and be the man to debunk zoologist and biologist that they're weak shit?

You're a retarded refer to >>122, comparing a gorilla to a human in terms of strength makes no sense at all. Gorillas weight way more than humans do and they have more muscles.

2 out of 3 of those languages are notoriously difficult, all three if you want to read Chinese. I feel you, because those are the languages I want to learn. I'd say you really should just pick one if you're serious about it. Also check out a "dopamine detox" routine.
>>454
Early UFC when the Gracie's were competing was extraordinarily sketchy. In UFC 1, and possibly later ones as well, every competitor was handpicked by the Gracie family. I think the Savate/Kyokushin guy straight up threw the fight with Royce. Royce hadn't even started applying pressure on the submission and the guy was tapping, and the takedown prior looked kind of suspect to me as well. Why wasn't there a single wrestler or Judo man there? Because they would have manhandled Royce. 
Current UFC seems fairly decent, but I have seen occasional questionable things, though only in very big fights. I have wondered if the fighters practice certain scripted sequences and then go back to fighting. Undercard fights are always legit in my opinion.

Learn how to reply and what you posted isn't evidence, you just brought a random youtube video trying to prove point. Eddie is indeed some fucking Jew, who probably lived a healthy lifestyle or he used another method of testerone. So yeah I'm thinking you're suffering with mental retardation.

>>454
If you ever tried to find out whether a fight is "fixed" then you're going to have a hard time. Sports have always been heavily involved in politics, so it's a possibility that some fights were arranged to be fake, although with the lack of proof you never know, just like how we didn't know until later that Usain Bolt failed a drug test.

>>461
Not that I particularly care about whether Eddie Hall is a jew, but him eating pork literally isn't an argument. Just because he isn't a sidelock wearing dreidl spinning chasidim doesn't mean he couldn't be ethnically jewish. I've worked with a guy who was so jewish that being called "White" offended him (he actually said "I'm not white I'm jewish"), yet was not religious and would eat BLT sandwiches at lunch.

>>466
You sure are a good judge of who is and isn't jewish for somebody that obviously doesn't know anything about Judaism.

You're not wrong, but it does out the other anon as the ignorant moron he is. He keeps reiterating how jewish Eddie is, but has so far failed to post any evidence. It's almost like he pulled this "fact" from his arse and is using it to push his own baseless agenda.

>>475
I'm not reiterating how Jewish he is you fucking low IQ mongolid, learn to read. I'm telling you it's not and nor can it be known if he's genetically fit, because of his Euro genes, and the whole euro genes makes you fit logic, makes zero sense otherwise every Anglo-American and European today would be fit. You're a fucking dumbass, and it's embarrassing how you fail to read and comprehend what someone is saying to (You). Eddie is not genetically fit because muh Euro, no one knows and you can't come to a retarded conclusions with such little information. I can definitely tell you have little to no euro genes,because not even a Euro would be as retarded as (you).

You can't use a shitty diet as an example that it's genetics considering, even putting on pounds can make you strong enough to lift over 200 pounds of weight depending on the diet you consumed and work out you do. Eddie can't be said to be strong due to genetics considering there is way too little evidence that he can eat anything or do anything and he can still lift weights. 
You also didn't disapprove that Eddie isn't a Jew, you just linked a couple of videos on >>461 which has no correlation whatsoever and does not prove that he is indeed some type of Superman due to his genes. I also don't know why everyone is claiming Eddie is Jewish, because I have found nothing on him being a Jew. Can we end this conversation and bickering now?

You misunderstand, Chen. Say what you will about nitrates and salt, but my point wasn't that his diet is unhealthy. It was that his diet isn't kosher. Jews are forbidden from consuming blood (to the point where they invented a special kind of salt designed to absorb every trace of moisture from the surface of fresh meat), combining animal products within a single dish and, of course, eating pork. Him openly eating a non-kosher diet in front of the whole world shows that he not only does not observe the jewish faith, but also that he feels no shame or remorse in doing so.
In regards to your (irrelevant) point though, yes you can get pretty strong on a bad diet provided you meet your nutritional requirements and you don't need to be an aryan ubermensch to do so. However, if you want to be amongst the strongest then, as I have already said, a good diet is a must. I'm sure his diet has room for improvement but the results show that it is a "good" diet.

I'm using a sandbag as my primary form of weight lifting at the moment. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the bag over both my shoulders to do any sort of squat. I can do zerchers, but I'd like to do a little more for my legs since I can go to the gym. I can get the bag over one shoulder though. Is there any issue doing that though? Is one leg necessarily bearing more weight than the other? If so will alternating shoulders alleviate the problem? I could lower the weight a bit, but I would like to keep it somewhat heavy for lower body exercise.

There is no evidence that he is fit by genetics you're both retarded. And you have absolute no idea what you're talking about because kikes will eat non-kosher diets if they convert to Christianity or any religion that allows them to eat foods they aren't supposed to eat.

You're retarded, because Eddie's works out daily and eats proper protein foods. You have see one video of him eating shit and come to conclusion of MUH ARYANS GENES, he is not a superhuman you fucking retard, he's not genetically fit, he's just fit. Maybe it's just that you don't understand how dieting and workouts works?  You can eat Hamburgers three or twice a week and still do heavy weights. I've seen fat faggots pick up heavy shit, with a combination of a good protein diet and junk diet. Let's not forget that the man also uses supplements to balance his diet as well.
https://jackedgorilla.com/eddie-hall-workout-routine/

> Him openly eating a non-kosher diet in front of the whole world shows that he not only does not observe the jewish faith,
There is no evidence he is a kike and a kike can either convert or be raised as an Christian, thus why they can eat foods that the Jews don't like.

>In regards to your (irrelevant) point though, yes you can get pretty strong on a bad diet provided you meet your nutritional requirements 
In regards to your mentally retarded points, yes you can indeed get fit on a bad diet but only, if you eat the right proper foods. Genetics won't save your ass from being healthy if you don't eat right.

No answer? :(

Well lay on you stomach and flex your spine back. If you need reference images you're already staring at your computer so search up yogi postures that resemble what im saying. If you want more mobility youll find it in your spine first. After you notice your posture has naturally improved start touching your toes.

When is the right time to exercise relative to when you sleep/eat? Should you avoid exercising right after/before sleep or eating? Or does it not matter?

>>547
It shouldn't really matter when so long as you allow yourself enough time to recover before doing more work imediately afterwards or else youll be spending more energy than you need to consume to keep your body from canibalizing your gains. The only thing ild say that may be a problem is if your exercise causes you indegestion and messes with your breathing rhythm.

Don't train or run after eating or you'll risk twisting your intestines. Happened to my uncle, needless to say it wasn't a pleasant experience for him.

Would staying in a pull up position for as long as possible do anything for me, or would it be a total waste of time? I was thinking maybe it could help develop some muscle or tendon or something.

>>603
Generally what I've been doing for the past two months or so is that I try to do a full minute of pullups in different arm positions. When I can't do a pullup anymore (usually after about 30 seconds) I just jump onto the bar and hold in a position for as long as I can. I now have noticeable pecs (they're not huge, but I've never had them before), but I'm not entirely sure it's because of the pullups or juts holding a pullup position. Either way I've also been doing pushups and a protein shake afterwards so that might also have something to do with it.

You actually didn't and most important of all you didn't even back up anything with evidence to prove your point.

>>603
It does, but you really have to actively engage in the isometric for it to work well meaning squeeze the shit out of the bar. I suggest placing your hands one fist width apart from your shoulders then activate your forearms from there going methodically down the chain of muscles down to the ones you'ld use to tense your ankles. Don't forget to breath and maintain your grip position for so long as your fingers completely encapsulate the bar you'll start developing solid forearm strength and keep yourself from overworking the tendons in your hands and wrists. If you decide to work your way up to a pullup make sure you're using the same muscles you activated in the dead hang all the way up and down. Make sure to set petty goals for yourself at first to nurture your progress until you have confidence to do something in which you might not have been able to do otherwise. Form is the key.

What are your thoughts on "circuit" bodyweight workouts(as in not reps but just repeating an exercise for a minute or some other interval)? Specifically, what do you /fit/izens think of embed related in particular? I've tried a couple of days and it seems like a challenging routine, but I'm concerned about any possible injuries since you're not resting at all inbetween sets or if there's a better bodyweight routine I could be doing until gyms start reopening.

>>796
I like circuits, I just posted a martial arts based circuit that I started a week ago. 
That Athean-X workout seems a little complicated. It's almost as if they want to sell you a program or something. I honestly don't even know what half that shit is. You're probably better off just keeping it really simple.
>burpees, 2 minutes
>pull-ups, 2 minutes
>skip rope, 2 minutes
>repeat until destroyed
That's a time efficient, very high intensity 6 minute circuit, consisting of 3 exercises that will hit every part of your body. Easy to keep track of and quantify, count the number of rounds completed on the circuit, but focus on clean reps with good form rather than volume, which is a benefit of going by time rather than reps x sets. Modify round time to your needs.

I was taking the prescription medicine for several months and I noticed no difference, then I had to stop because the visits and the prescriptions were too much of a drain on my finances while providing next to no benefits. Also the dude was extremely unhelpful; he stated plainly that his role is to prescribe the pills, and for anything more I'd have to go to a therapist. This is ridiculous.

Came here to say the same thing.

The top of my wrist (side opposite of palm) hurts like shit when I bend my hand back for pushups, hurts a little bit when I bend it the other way, and hurts like shit when I massage/squeeze it. Sometimes once every couple of weeks, the pain will go away in one wrist, only for the other wrist to get the same pain. Sometimes for a week or two, both wrists hurt, and rarely, for periods of up to a week, neither hurt.

I could work through the pain, but I need to know if simply ignoring it will make it worse, and/or lead to injury.

I don't have any problems with carpal tunnel and I don't wank, so those potential causes are crossed out.

Besides, weak wrists are due to small hands that have never experienced any stress, so the best you could do is aim for something that exercises your hands.
I would recommend you to try and start climbing, be it a rope or a tree. Course textures will generate more stress and musculature on the hands, and thus, will enlarge your wrists, I guess.

Boy, do I have an exercise just for you.

I'm in the process of moving and would like to get a gym membership so I can get back to bulking up. However the choices nearby me are less than stellar

<haven't done pool fitness before and don't know how hard it is to bulk up compared to lifting heavy things
right now I'm torn between the pool and just biting the bullet and falling for the PF jew, unless someone else has a better idea?

>>974
Why won't you go with the pool, if you know you're going to get frowned upon in the fitness jew?
Besides, swimming is a valuable skill that you need to practice if the negro apocalypse ever breaks out. Did you know that 95% of niggers in the UK don't even know how to float in the water, let alone swim?

>>978
I haven't set foot in a pool for an actual workout since I was 10 years old, I don't even know what I'd have to do. Wouldn't that be more cardio instead of bulking? Is there an infograph for this?

So the general guides say not to store fatty foods in plastic zipper bags, but, does chicken count as "fatty?"
It sounds dumb as hell, but, I don't exactly notice any difference in taste if I store some chicken breast leftovers in a bag and re-heat it in my air fryer.

I just gotta know, how important is it to /nofap/?

The more I read up on it, the more I'm convinced that it's objective was really to break addictions that negatively impacted people's lives. I'm almost certain I don't have an addiction because I'm not really depressed, I exercise regularly enough and have lost a substantial amount of weight over the past two years, and I would only do it, at most, three times in a week, but those were rare occasions. I'm currently on a three week streak and I can keep going, but I have to be absolutely convinced that there are substantial-enough health benefits involved. I'm also not the kind of person who will immediately drop his pants upon seeing something tangibly erotic. I only do it to relieve stress rather than have it brought on from arousal. 

If you guys tell me that jacking off fucks that badly with hormone levels then I will keep going on my streak, but please provide evidence so I can be certain that I'm not denying a natural pleasure just so I can be part of an abstinence circlejerk.

>>1022
it will leave you frustrated and angry, but you can use that to build up energy to focus on other areas of your life, like fitness and personal projects. i did it for a year and it did eventually level out (three weeks was the turning point, it got better from there), however it did not curb my porn interests as I hoped it would, it didn't change my interests at all. however after a while it became a personal challenge, since i had already made it X days so why not keep going further. basically, do it if you want but you won't get superpowers, however the underlying smug feeling of being in complete control of your sex drive is very nice.

I've never heard this. The only criticism of calisthenics that I've heard is some people believe you can't load the erector spinae enough with bodyweight alone. Whatever "enough" is.
It sounds like you're listening to retards to be honest.

Think I figured out why I've been failing my squats even after deloading, I've been doing the wrong position this whole time (had head tilted down instead of up) so now I'm trying to use muslces that aren't developed enough to do it the right way. Might have to deload a lot more and do it right to work back up. This sucks.

>>1098
I wouldn't worry about it, it's unlikely that you'll lose gains and deload phases can be good for you anyway.

Anon, you're not being particularly clear about your situation. You started by saying you lack strength but now are saying you just want better form, and now you are posting pictures of a pistol squat. To be begin with, what kind of squat are we even talking about?

>what kind of squat are we even talking about?
Full squats. Lowering your body mass down to the level of the floor.
I posted pistol squats because I wanted to show the depth of the squat, but couldn't because the book you have posted here didn't have any images on their profile view.

>>1109
You can't full squat as deep as with a pistol because the leg acts as a counter balance, so the comparison is flawed. 
Given that you're reading convict conditioning I don't really know what to tell you, the book already has detailed instructions. Usually ankle mobility is the limiting factor, and the webm I posted has an exercise to help with that. When you say you are trying to keep your back straight I don't know if that means you're trying to keep it perpendicular to the floor or prevent rounding. 
If what I'm saying isn't helpful consider looking around the blog here: https://squatuniversity.com/featured-links/blog/

/FIT/, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY
my life is probably in the line from decision here and I live with my parent btw.

My parent and a doctor from hospital are coercing me to take the nasal swab because I have cough for 7 month which haven't fully heal. Few days ago, I just took NAC prescription medicine and that seems to heal my cough, at least I feel like I'm in 70% of my recovery from this cough after the NAC medication. I already had blood test given to the doctor. I have no fever, just a speculation for covid right now.

I knew there's a risk of meningitis infections from nasal swab alone. The only reasonable option I have right now is the saliva test but they are still coercing to get nasal swab. How do I resist this pressure.
Please help

>from cdc

PCR test is supposedly going away at the end of the year because it's a research tool and is not meant to diagnose illness, so tell your doctor to shove his quack medicine up his ass. As for your parents, I don't know. Much depends on where you live and your relationship with them.
Really, the main thing is simply to make a firm decision and let the universe take it from there.

Could be better for your joints and your back, just make sure you sleep with a comfy posture. Check out this paper for ideas:

probably too late for this but i've had the nasal swab test twice, it feels weird as hell but as long as they don't slam it against the inner wall against your brain it's fine. the tests should be the least of your worries.

>current workout
One hour of cardio plus what is on the image. Squats, Handstand Pushups, Leg Raises, Push Ups/Dips and Planks, progressively doing the tougher excersises.
>goal
My belly is all pronounced and is already hanging, a mix between chubbyfat and fat as fatass. I'd like to get rid of my gut, but changing my diet is not going to be possible, so what I'd like to do instead if it's posible is to define it and if possibly go bear mode

>>1170
Shit dude, if you're doing handstand push ups you don't need much advice. Depending on what's meant by meant by cardio for an hour (walking, running, everyday?) that might be a bit excessive, and maybe incorporate some isometrics (without necessarily increasing overall volume) if you don't have any equipment.
You seem like you're doing pretty good though, any particular reason you want to change your programming?

Question to those who do bodyweight and/or calisthenics, where did you buy your equipment and how much did it cost?

>>1171
>any particular reason you want to change your programming?
Not really change it, just to see if there was something I could add to the routine that could help.
I will check out isometric exercises, thanks anon

>>1172
The question doesn't really make sense. One of the main features of bodyweight training is the lack of equipment no? You really don't need to buy anything.
That said I do have a suspension trainer, which is a completely optional piece of equipment. That was $100.
>>1173
No problem. I believe the book thread dump has some isometrics material, and the exercises in the "Monk's Set" image are effective >>13 .

How the fuck do I make quick steel-cut oatz?

I tried soaking mine using a 1 to 3 ratio of steel cut oats, soaking them overnight in a glass jar, and it did jack shit. I thought I needed to microwave it for 2 minutes, so I did. it STILL didn't come out the gooey delicious pudding-like consistency I wanted. I ended up stove-cooking it.

How do I do overnight steel-cut oats and keep it at that delcious pudding-consistency, not watery garbage?

>>1179
you really can't, they're too hard and need to cook for a long time, 25-30 minutes is how long I do mine.

>>1177
Yeah, you're probably right. It's just in >>13, and in the exrx calisthenics workout, some equipment is necessary. Still I'll see giving bodyweight exercise a try, even if I don't have a suspension trainer.

>>1184
I have to emphasise that callisthenics do not require dedicated equipment. 
>dip station
2 chairs.
>suspension trainer
A towel. Builds insane grip strength as a bonus.
>pull up bar
A tree branch, an exposed beam, also a towel thrown over something  works for grip pull ups. Some public parks have pull up stations.  
>row bar
A broom handle laid across 2 chairs.

Personally I think that for a beginner all you need are 5 exercises:
>press ups
>squats
>sit ups*
>back hyperextensions*
>swimmers
This works upper and lower back, core, legs, arms and chest, and only requires a floor.
Do these with maximum range of motion, perfect form, and a slow, controlled tempo. consider something like 4-2-1-1. 4 second eccentric, 2 seconds at the bottom, 1 second concentric, 1 second hold and squeeze at the top. For example, in a squat, count to 4 on the way down, hold for 2 at the bottom, come back up in 1 second, and squeeze the quads and or glutes at the top for 1 second. 
Consider aiming for 3 days a week, 6 sets of 12 reps each, 1 minute rest between sets. You will have to work your way there. Once you can manage that you can start adding more volume, more workouts or new exercises.
*Don't jam you feet or legs under anything for these. Just do them freely on the floor.

>>1172
Only piece of equipment I own is a pull up bar which cost £8 on ebay

Kinda new to all this so sorry if i fuck up/sound like a fag/i am irreversibly brain damaged

i wanna get s t r o n k, by that i mean actually fit, able to actually move around and do stuff etc...
i took the calisthenics pill and i have a few books stored, the main thing im confused about its the frequency and routines

some books (like convict conditioning) split the excersises to do in various days, so you'd be training say 3 times a week, is this normal? i feel like shit if im not doing something *every* day, also i find conflicting info, i've heard some fags say high reps suck and don't do anything, other's swear by it

another gripe is the ammount of different excersises and the lack of clarification on how fast and how slow should i proceed, i remember back in the day trying to get fit and having to consult whatever book i was using because i would forget what snowflake move i was supposed to make, and as mentioned before no book clearly clarifies into what is too fast or too slow

something tells me being fit shouldn't be fucking rocket science but all the bullshit i keep reading on routines, days and shit is really giving me a informational overflow or maybe i am truly retarded

i just want to punch my way into Spiritual Enlightenment, a little hand?
thanks in advance

>>1279
Perfectly reasonable questions. The main thing to realise is that pretty much every major "style" of exercise works. They all have various strengths and weaknesses. 3 days a week full-body workouts are an absolutely rock solid choice, and arguably give the greatest benefit for the least time and effort involved. Regarding workout frequency, it's important to remember that workouts are not the same thing as exercise. You can and should exercise every day, but workouts are something you need to recover from. Examples of exercise would be casual bike riding, shadowboxing, walks, low intensity jogging, stretching, lifting weights that are very light for you, yard work and so on.

Generally speaking, lower reps, fewer sets with more intensity/weight and longer rest periods are the way to go for pure strength gains.
Higher reps, more sets with less intensity/weight and shorter rest periods emphasises muscular growth and endurance.
The way you manage load or intensity in callisthenics without simply increasing reps is mostly through progressions, as you know from reading Convict Conditioning. That book is mostly written for people who have already gained some experience in /fit/ness, because as you noted the authors kind of assume you already know how workout programming works.
A really rough guide to some elements of basic programming is the following:
>strength gains
Exercise and weight selections that are challenging at 4 to 6 reps and 2 to 4 sets. A quicker and more explosive (though still controlled) exercise tempo. 3 minute rests between sets.
>hypertrophy gains
Exercise and weight selections that are challenging at 8 to 12 reps and 6 or more sets. A slower tempo, especially on the "negative".30 seconds to 1 minute rests between sets.

>ammount of different excersises and the lack of clarification on how fast and how slow should i proceed
I have to assume you are following a Progressive Callisthenics methodology and are talking about when to move on to the next progression. It's basically when your chosen number of reps becomes easy. For example, lets say you are focusing purely on strength gains and don't care about getting bigger, so you are doing 3 sets of 6 (this will vary a bit for different movements). Once you can rep out 3 sets of 6 standard press ups with absolutely perfect form and control easily you would move on to a progressed version like explosive clapping press ups, diamond press ups or archer press ups. Then on to one handed and so on. Put another way, if you feel like you could do your workout every day it's not a workout anymore, it's become exercise, and that is a signal to progress. It's perfectly fine to do shorter, less intense versions of your workout for daily exercise purposes though.

One more thing is that the body starts to get used to certain workout styles so there is a point where you reach diminishing returns. For this reason a lot of elite lifters will switch their usual training to a completely different style. For example, a powerlifter might switch to bodybuilding style high reps and sets hypertrophy style training for 1 month every 6 months or so. Schwarzenigger used to do the opposite, Every so often he would go through a cycle of low rep high weight strength training. This kind of approach helps prevent hard plateaus from happening.

What is your opinion on nicotine pouches? Test annihilator? Do you use them?

I wake up tired as shit and take hours to properly wake up. Sometimes I don't even feel awake until after I exercise. How do I fix this without taking meds? 
I tried exercising in the morning before, but I overdid it and just felt like shit the entire day. Currently I just do some half ass stretching as it helps slightly.

Sleep quantity/quality issues due to too much stress, caffeine, overtraining, screen time, not enough sunlight, or all of the above are all possible explanations. 
There are other possible issues but that's the stuff that's really common and not too hard to fix.

Stupid as it may sound, are there any stimulants that can help you with exercise? 
After reading about cocaine I wondered if it's euphoric and energetic state could help someone overcome psychological limitations. Sadly some of its other effects (probably) ruin its potential.

>>1329
Small doses of kratom. Like 1-2 grams.

>>1329
Not a stimulant but dextromethorphan (Robitussin) allows me to exceed my usual limit. Tramadol+coffee had similar effects

Will I be able to get reasonably fit if I live a nocturnal lifestyle? I'm currently doing calisthenics in my bedroom and going on night runs for cardio. how important is sunlight for gains?

>>1340
Sunlight main purpose (as far as we know) is in the production of vitamin D, which can be obtained through food you eat, e.g. wild salmon. I've seen a lot of people recommending cholecalciferol (vitamind D3), 5000 IU should be enough.
And do get enough sleep. Good luck.

I'm sure there were many, many questions like this but I never lurked /fit/ so I don't know any better. I'm still young, but quite chubby (20% body fat, 27BMI), I'm not physically active and my hamstrings and whatever are very shortened. What can I do to get healthier without going to gym?
>diet
I wouldn't say my diet is bad, but I don't really know anything about nutrition; I drink mostly water, tea, sometimes coffee, all my meals are home made, a lot of meat (chicken, ground beef, sometimes other red meats), salads, sauces, potatoes, rice, pasta and an occasional dessert (also homemade), cheese (mostly cottage and the white smeary goat cheese, don't know how it's called in English), bread (sometimes white grain, but mostly whole).
>physical condition
I'm chubby-strong-ish? I do physical labor. The various strings in my body are very shortened. Cardio is shit, I got asthma. I ride bike when the weather is nice. I walk daily. My posture is quite fucked up, desk, computer, etc. I tried doing some pushups, focusing on the form, I was able to max out at ~10. My right wrist hurt like shit after.
>plan
I suppose I need to build a good foundation first, so straightening up my body, loosening the various strings and what not and fixing the wrist and neck/higher back pain.
Maybe change the diet? I'm not too keen on keeping track of calories, a general rule of thumb would be preferred.
Maybe start with calisthenics and continue riding bike?
 I'm mostly focused on how to fix that wooden stiff body of mine and the chub. If all goes well, I'd like to get some muscle as well, but that isn't a priority

>>1365
Sounds like a decent start, you're not eating complete garbage so that's good. Focus on increasing your protein intake and follow the basic starting strength routine in the infograph sticky. Develop a baseline strength before you start worrying about how good your body looks. Work out every other day and don't push yourself too hard. The first couple of weeks your body will hate you, you have to power through it and it will eventually go away. Come back in a few months when you have good reps and gains.
you're gonna make it

I've been trying to stick to chicken and ground beef lately, but it's very hard to get enough protein because I feel so full from nothing

>>1371
If you eat it right after you work out (which is what you should be doing) then it's probably your body crashing from the physical exhaustion and caloric intake. Also a possibility that you might be diabetic and your blood sugar spiking makes you lethargic. I know how it feels and while I am not diagnosed diabetic, I suspect that I might be.

Thanks, I'm already going through the pushup chart, I'm a bit hesitant on running though.
I'm re-assessing my meal plan, finding new recipes that involve veggies that are in the infograph I don't normally eat.
Any tips for the wrist pain and shortened strings in my body, or do I just have to power through it and it will go away?

I have finally rung myself through to pick up a (fighting) sport again, after years of inaction and decay. The lessons are about 2 hours long and in almost all of them I had been in I had to take a brake and sit down because I felt sick, I felt like seconds before passing out and my body felt weak. Is this just because my endurance is so crippled and it will go away over time? Or is this some sort of sickniss, maybe blood sugar related?
When I trained years before to exhaustion I never felt that sick or weak, or not that I can remember.

I have zero appetite, sometimes it takes me almost an hour to force myself to eat enough meat in a meal.
How can I train myself to eat more? Will it come naturally after some time?

Alright got to try out casein and it has such a weird taste to it, but tolerable.
It tastes exactly like like those puzzle foam mats used in martial arts smell like.
Is my casein powder fucked? It isn't some shitty chink brand
and wtf it's so thick, this shit is like cement

Anyone here on kosher TRT?
I'm trying to decide if I should surrender and get on it.
I don't want to be a pharma jew slave for the rest of my life, but at the same time this modern world and normal testosterone are two things that don't go together.

How brutal would it be to come back off TRT again if I decide to? Should or shouldn't I?

hello sirs,

how bad is vaping vegetable glycerin? 
vaping is for faggots yadda yadda yadda and some VG is made of soy (even though it's so isolated that it supposedly shouldn't even matter)

thanks for your wisdom sirs

Question, how do I lose weight? Is it really just about decreasing food intake and doing more cardio? My current height is 5'10" at 260 pounds. Yes, I know I'm a pocket prince but is there any other advice you could give me to get /fit/ anons?

Come to think of it, daily cold showers and swimming regularly could help you get lean, go ottermode. Can you think of a single fat swimmer?

No I can't actually. I would ask about diet as well but that can be talked about in the food thread. Cold showers are completely viable for because I live in a hot environment.

>>1471
Go for cold showers then. I don't know any scientific reason for going lean with them, it's just an intuition, but I believe it to work.
Knew some old men, 60s or so, who used to do cold showers and had very meager bodies and tight muscles.

>>1473
I'll give it a shot. Thanks anon.

>>1469
Fat people are insecure about their fat and don't like to display it

>>1475
cold showers are one of those "supplemental" weight loss techniques that only provides extra marginal gains over actual methods of weight loss, like dieting. 90% of losing weight is changing your diet and consuming less calories per day than what you burn, creating a deficit. there is no way around this. put down the tendies and go eat a vegetable.

/fit/ newfriend here. I'm currently trying to lose weight after being a lardass for far too long. What are some good ways to consistently lose weight? For context, I do stretches, a little weight lifting (mostly light cardio-type, 50lbs overhead presses, shrugs, and curls, and 80lbs overhead presses and shrugs), walking, some running, and outside work when that needs done. I've got a decent diet outside of breakfast (waffles and sugary coffee), I drink plenty of water, and I try to limit my soda consumption to 1 can at meals.

>>1494
easy, ensure your daily caloric intake is less than what you are expending. (your body burns around 2000 calories per day just on basic functions, so if you eat 1800 calories per day you'll be on a deficit and lose weight). if trying to bulk up on muscle while losing fat, ensure a high protein intake and low fat/carbs, but don't cut them out entirely (shoot for 60% of your daily intake as protein). look up an actual workout regimen (like Starting Strength) and stick to it no matter what. cut out all the sugary bullshit (including soda, if you can't cut it out entirely go for diet instead) because it will set you back hard.
you're gonna make it.

>>1495
Thanks, /fit/anon. I don't really check calories, so I definitely need to start doing that. I want to primarily lose weight and gain some muscle while at it, so I'll try to do the routine you mention. I'm not particularly looking for definition, just bulk so I can go bearmode or B L O A T L O R D or something along those lines. 
>if you can't cut it out entirely go for diet instead
I'd rather not go for aspartame shit, so I'll aim to gradually cut my soda consumption out instead. I'll probably drink any soda only as a treat or to help with indigestion, so rarely.

getting an exercise ball will help, it forces you to sit upright with a minor curve.

Anyone got a good keto calculator?
All of them recommend only 116 grams even though I weigh 179 lbs?
Isn't this wrong? Or is it some kind of keto magic?

lately working out has felt more like a chore than actually going for gains. i'll wake up on a workout day and get this sense that my day is wasted, that's it's pointless to start anything meaningful during the day because you have to go and lift things later on. and when i'm done lifting i'm too tired/exhausted to do anything else for the rest of the day. does anyone else experience this? how do you get over it?

>>1533
unless you're a morbidly obese fuck i can no longer recommend keto. it saps away too much muscle along with fat, and you'll feel miserable the whole time. look into leangains instead, much greater diversity of what you can eat while still gaining muscle and losing fat.

Is it really bad to lose more than 1–2 pounds per week?

I've been finding it hard lately to find the motivation to work out. Initially the catalyst for changing my diet/getting stronger was because I was interested in strong women, so I felt that I had to be on par or better than them in terms of fitness to be worth their time. However now that I've slimmed down and workouts get progressively harder, it's hard to be motivated, especially since strength has no end goal and is a constant drive upwards. After a while that motivation starts to fade, and other sources don't provide that same feeling (whether I'm lifting for myself, to be stronger, to prove something, etc.). Lifting for women in the first place was a dumb idea, but it did get me results, but considering how antisocial I am and how few women/people I interact with on a daily basis, I don't really know what the point is anymore. Obviously not going to let myself fall into fat fuck/skele territory ever again, but the thought of failing yet another set and being unable to push past my current PB is very daunting.

>>1537
Depends. Try to weigh yourself at the same time each day, right after you wake up preferably. Your weight can fluctuate ~5 pounds each day depending on what you eat/drink. Weigh yourself at the same time each day/after a specific meal to get a standard to work off of.

>>1541
Okay, but is it dangerous?
I've heard normalfags say it puts your body into panic mode, causing you to lose muscle and hair and shit

this is the worst video I've seen on zzzchan

>>1561
again, if you're a morbidly fat fuck you'll be losing a lot of weight. otherwise if it's that much of a concern to you, calculate how many calories you need to eat daily to maintain your current weight, then subtract a couple hundred off of that if you're triyng to lose weight.
As a baseline, your maintenance intake is your current body weight in kg * 28. That is how many calories you need to consume daily to maintain where you're at now.

>>1562
kek, good.
>>1563
Sorry for not being clear. My goal is to reduce bodyfat.
What do you consider morbidly fat? 
The only reason I'm concerned is because I've heard it's bad to lose > 2 lbs / week, and last week I lost 3.5 lbs (not water weight).

>>1565
>Sorry for not being clear. My goal is to reduce bodyfat
youre being autistic. in order to lose bodyfat you need to be in a caloric deficit.
>I've heard it's bad to lose > 2 lbs / week
anecdotally, anon >>1541 says your weight can fluctuate 5pounds/day. which my anecdotal evidence claims this to be somewhat true, ive seen 4pound swings from any given day depending on my diet and/or creatine usage, taking a shit vs not taking a shit, theres a lot of factors.
>and last week I lost 3.5 lbs (not water weight).
how exactly do you know it wasnt water weight? just keep it at 2 pound weight loss max per week. bc yes, there are consequences from losing too much weight too fast. loss of lean muscle mass, poor hormone production, etc./

Since I am planning on moving soon and my gym only offers annual memberships, I have switched to a simple stopgap bodyweight exercise. As many squats and pushups as I can do. With a high protein intake this should prevent me from losing an unacceptable amount of gains in the interim. Are there any other exercises I should be doing?

>>1565
Can you see your dick if you look straight down? If not, that's morbidly obese. Your body weight will fluctuate constantly, and fat loss is not linear; it tends to happen in waves every two weeks or so if you're on a strict diet. Weigh yourself at the same time each day, write down the results, and compare them in two week time periods, i.e. where you are now as opposed to two weeks ago.

>>1571
>youre being autistic. in order to lose bodyfat you need to be in a caloric deficit.
Yeah no shit. Where did I say otherwise?
>anecdotally, anon >>1541 says your weight can fluctuate 5pounds/day. which my anecdotal evidence claims this to be somewhat true, ive seen 4pound swings from any given day depending on my diet and/or creatine usage, taking a shit vs not taking a shit, theres a lot of factors.
>how exactly do you know it wasnt water weight? just keep it at 2 pound weight loss max per week. bc yes, there are consequences from losing too much weight too fast. loss of lean muscle mass, poor hormone production, etc./
Because I've been doing this diet for three weeks and I weigh myself the same time each day and made an average out of each day every week.

But yeah okay I'll eat more calories if this is dangerous I suppose.

What's better for muscle growth: More sets with fewer reps vs fewer sets with more reps?
