Why didn’t you start lifting already?

1) Lifting doesn't help you lose weight
2) Buffed = hot is a meme

because it's heavy

But I already do only cardio and calisthenics!

Then you’re not lifting.

cuz i dont want to go to a gym

can't i just do pushups and crunches? im a hungry skeleton

Been lifting for as long as this show's been airing, and my muscles are getting more defined. I don't know how many more months it'll take before I look like a god or have abs, but there's only one way to find out.

I have multiple subluxations in my spine that cause neck and back issue. Will this help or hurt me?

Gotta finish putting together my home gym first.

I've been lifting for years.

I'm not a doctor, but It requires some real waist / back / abs strength to do it. Very hard to even keep legs straight. 3x10 is hard to do as well for me at least.

I fucked up my wrists and have tfcc tear, reccomend me some wristbraces for it, please.
I must get fit for Aniki, too.

I'm a poorfag who can barely afford to pay for rent, cable bills, and food every month let alone a gum subscription or to set up a home gym.

>dragon fags

>Why didn’t you start lifting already?
no money

I've heard gaining a decent body is 0% actual exercise, 0% genetics, and 100% diet (may be exaggerating the numbers). But I am simply not that hungry and also will be hemorrhaging money if I buy that much food.

Just tried one set of 10. Hurt like hell, but it did feel like it stretched out the muscles in my back. Maybe if I take it slow and do a few at a time, it can help relieve some of the everyday pain.

Thats if you want to simply not be a fat walking tub of lard lardo. Which is guess puts you at a relatively high decency point.

You still need to exercise if you want to be able to do anything or have muscle definition

I already have. liked working out in gym class in highschool, started hitting the gym in uni, but commuter college plus midterms always killed my free time so I never really made it a habit. Lately however my office installed a gym so I've started hitting it again after not lifting in about 1.5 years (if you count stocking shelfs with big box items and moving bricks onto carts etc) or 3 years (if you only count going to an actual gym)

Diets only matter in changing the look of your body in that you require the correct diet to lose, gain, or maintain your weight. You're never gonna gain any muscle if all you do is lose weight without actually exercising and gaining that weight back as muscle afterwards unless you're some kind of genetic freak or use steroids.

It's mostly exercise, but I guess it depends on what you consider a decent body.
Certain specific things, like being able to have an 8 pack instead of a 6 pack are almost entirely genetic though.

I lift solely for fit brown gyarus

You've heard wrong, unless a decent body for you is not being fat then yeah.

I got no money and I have a hard time motivating myself to do something new

Because I'm a hikkineet and the idea of leaving the house makes me anxious, let alone going to the gym.

buy adjustable dumbbells then and workout at home, or do body weight workouts. no excuses

I'm lifting, but I'm also trying to learn how to lift smart, correctly and efficently

then do bodyweight workouts. no excuses

Talk to a therapist first. Needless to guess.

maybe consult a doctor or do some research dont trust the stoners on this board for real advice.

I do do bodyweight workouts at home, I should probably get some proper dumbbells when I have the money.

Those are stupidly overpriced meme dumbbells. Get normal adjustable ones.

Just empty your mind bro

But I do, I just hit 2pl8 squats for reps the other day.
You can get an annual membership to a gym for less than that

well then start loving yourself! a great way is to start working out, see how much it makes you grow, and see how much you're able to achieve. you'll be amazed at your potential and want to continue growing and doing more. dont be an apathetic bitch that accomplishes nothing in your life. take a hold of your shit and start moving forward.

count your calories. you should eat at a deficit so around 1800 cal a day to lose weight. also adding in working out of any aspect will make the process much better and reduce saggy skin. with working out, you'll probably look like a beast after 50 pounds of weight loss. you have full control of your life and are perfectly capable of making it, it's up to you to decide to do it though. that defeatest attitude will get you nowhere.

why would you want adjustable dumbbells

Do you think the body doesn't need to burn shit to generate muscle growth and rebuild it?
Read about it, Cardio is more effective but you will look like a twink if you don't do both.

I bought a foldable weight bench and 3 sets of dumbbells just because of this anime.

Don't buy that. Buy one's like what posted. Much cheaper. Also, dumbbells are good for a wide variety of exercises, so a single set of dumbbells will get you farther than you think.

You don't really need much money to lift.

For the past year or so I've been lifting a combination of old weights and plastic water jugs attached to a broom handle.

I love hibiki's appearance so fucking much.

30 too old.

Also time is a issue I do martial arts and distance running.

Do weebs just do what cute girls in anime do? They eat choco coronets and go camping and now lift because an anime girl is doing it. What if a cute anime girl found a job, paid her taxes, got their own home, and stop being depressed while blaming everyone and everything for their failures?

The good news is you don't cut fat through cardio.
Just lift weights and as your muscles use up more energy you'll eventually lose the fat. You can speed this up by making meal changes.
Cardio is good for heart health and breathing, but if it isn't for you diet and breathing exercises will do most of the same thing.

Why the fuck is this god awful typesetting considered acceptable in 2019? I literally have to pause and figure out what is dialogue and what is on screen text. Fucking corporate bastards and fuck HS for not fixing this shit.

You could try counting calories. Doesn't need to be exact just so you get a general idea of whether you're eating eating the right amount or if it's too much/too little. I know that the amount I eat to feel "decently full" is more than 2000kj less than the amount I should be eating in a day.

Not him but what if I just generally don't have much protein in my diet?

unless you're some vegan queer you are getting enough protein

Horriblesubs ripper is pretty bad, I heard it got fixed in some cases but it's still bad in others.

Can't be bothered to lift weights on a -1000 deficit. Impossible for me to gain mass when I'm eating so little. I do calisthenics and use resist bands to help retain muscle and burn fat, but I won't pick up dumb bells until I've reached my target.

How would go about squaring out a flabby chest?

wait what the fuck? this is hard to do?
I remember having PE classes and this thing is the easiest thing i can do.
Last week ive been squatting and i can only do 30 for a day and now i do 40 per three hours. For my water jug dumbells (because im a poorfag) which weighs like 1.5 kgs i was doing 40 per day till my muscles give out. Now i can do them 30 per three hours too. I guess ill do this one for ab exercises

Then there's this faggot

Can't sleep, time to bike machine myself to death.

Do we really own our bodies, though? Or do our bodies own us? After all, what can we do without them?

What is the color of your urine?

Hopefully, normal, right?

Target different areas of your pectoral muscles with a mix of various exercises. General for your "upper" chest you're going to want to go for lifts that involve vertical movements from an angled position (Barbell/Dumbbell Inclines, Elevated Pushups, Bench Press, etc). For your "lower" chest generally you're going to want to do horizontal movements as well as some angled positions opposite of what you do for your "upper" chest (Barbell/Dumbbell Decline, Dumbbell/Machine Flys, Dips, etc).

In addition, you need to consider your overall dietary needs. If you're higher in body fat, the surest way to have more defined muscles is, of course, to lose body fat. However if you're trying to build up muscle, you can't try to "build" (Being in an anabolic state) while simultaneously trying to "lose" (Being in a catabolic state). Personally it's easier to build up muscle first and then cut the weight, but you can try to lose excess weight first and go from there.

Regardless, your macros should be filled mostly with lean meats, low GI carbs such as vegetables and moderate whole grains, some fats to keep you full. If you can get at a minimum of .5 grams of protein for every pound you weigh, you're in a good spot. If you can match 1 for 1, that's best but difficult (And perennially dangerous) to do long term.

Bullshit.

Im kind of getting off my NEET lifestyle right now since i know the money i got from being a wageslave will not last if i want to improve myself. Though ill buy myself a gym membership if i earn money again.

I think some anons would feel bad though. I use a comforter as a mat and two 1.5 liter bottles of coke as a dumbell. But i dont care. Just want to be a functional human being again somewhat.

Getting started and sticking with it when I am weak and flabby and run out of breath and have to throw up after 10 minutes is incredibly difficult. Longest I have ever stuck to working out was two weeks and I felt like shit during and after every time.

>Im eating just as much as I get to get decently full
This doesn't mean much. For all I know, you could be eating only two full meals per day and still consume less than your required daily calorie intake. It's much easier to bulk by eating more (smaller) meals a day with snacks in between. Protein powder is useless if you have sufficient protein intake, but it's useful if you struggle to consume enough protein. It doesn't hurt to take slightly more protein than your body needs, so worst case scenario, you'll only waste money.

No, I'm someone who actually was an average suicidal overweight NEET that whines all the time on the internet. And I realized that people like that just love themselves too much and don't need more coddling, they need to be told the truth and shamed until they fix themselves.

I think I eat too little.

Just because youre a piece of shit does not mean everyone else is as well.

That's the thing, I fixed myself. I lost weight and found a path in life. You losers that whine "boo hoo my life is so bad I want to KYS" all the fucking time don't actually want to die, you want people's attention. You're like a teenage girl that cuts up her arms.

You see how defensive you get? You can't fathom that you aren't he center of the universe. The sooner you realize that you aren't anything special, that your life will too actually end one day, the sooner you will be able to change. Until then the best medicine the rest of the world can give you is ample amounts of shame, because coddling you would justify your existence and let you continue being a worthless bag of shit.

I have some back issues and when I started doing a easier version of dragon flags my physical therapist told me to be careful because it causes pressure or strain on the spine or something. I can't remember his exact words.

lifting a few weights and gaining muscles won't suddenlny make you being an useful existence for this world.

I swear, this meme tier anime brings in the worst kind of brainlets.

Cuz lipstick on a pig

Go on amazon and order a box of MRE's. They have ones on there that are $150 for 24 meals. It works out to just over $6 a meal, which is probably about what you're spending anyway. Each MRE has roughly 2,500 cal. If you eat those and supplement with a good breakfast, you'll only be spending $10 a day for easily over 3k cal.

Except that I am not even the guy that talked about him not exercising because he is suicidal. I am the guy that thinks youre a piece of shit for talking shit about shit youve got no clue about.

Just 3k? Then that's easy
Eat bigger portion sizes, particularly in meats. Also look into fairlife milk. It's high protein. Hell, milk and juice is probably a decent way to up your count.
The easiest thing to do is figure out which meal is your smallest, then double it.

>Sudden mood swings
Did you go straight to the juice?

>talking shit about shit youve got no clue about.
I've lived though it, have you? Who are you to tell me whether or not I have any authority on the matter?
Exercise, a proper diet and sleeping schedule will fix your body, but more importantly it will fix you mind. You'll realize the effort it takes to achieve something and when you receive the attention you so desperately crave from actually working hard, you'll feel a hundred times better than when you get pitied for supposedly wanting to off yourself.

But I do. I think I've hit 1/2/3/4.

the manga art makes it look so much lewder

You replied to someone else with something I said.
I AM living through it. And I am not depressed because I am a piece of shit that doesnt work out and has no job. As I said early on: Just because youre a piece of shit does not mean everyone else is.

No, see that's exactly it, you are a piece of shit. You even go so far as to think that you have more say on the matter than someone who's been in your position and gotten out of it because you love yourself so much. You are a worthless fatass and you have two choices, either grow a pair and follow through with your bitch threats to die (which you won't because you're no manlier than a teenage girl) or get off your fat ass and start doing something that will eventually lead to you getting out of your "depression".

If your trainer tells you that, then I'd say you should ask your trainer this questions rather than some autists on an anime image board.

I'm not gonna pretend I'm an authority, but I've heard some bros on /fit/ talk about how drinking milk is a good way to gain weight. You can try almond milk or s*y milk too if you want.

imagine being a fat ass full of excuses. haha

I watched some youtube videos of famous boydbuilders from like the 60s and 70s and for some strange reason, they said they depended on Canned Tuna a lot even though they knew too much tuna might not be good for you.

Does that hold true today? Canned Tuna for bulking? I forgot which boydbuilder was being interviewed, it could have been SPAM instead of Canned Tuna, though.

You lose weight by sweating.
Drink lots of water and do exercises. Stop making excuses.

Dont get me wrong being a fat piece of shit is a good reason to be depressed, youre right on that. Im just saying that just because youre a piece of shit does not mean everyone got depression because of the same reason. But you seem to have troubles working out what these Symbols on the screen are and make up for it by making assumptions about people that are not true. I am currently not suicidal so killing myself is a clear no for me right now. I probably know more about this whole thing because I have been forcefully but into a mental ward. I have been through a year of Therapy already and if I were a fat piece of shit Id be glad because that is so much easier to correct then having abusive parents shit for brains.

Not sure if true but I heard Body Fat is literally converted into CO2 aka carbon dioxide when you lose weight which is pretty cool.

Right now I am training for Marathon and doing mostly endurance muscle training.
Would it encumbered my running if I switch to getting more buff muscles instead?

>Therapy
>mental ward
>parents
See how much everyone caters to your delusions? I didn't have any of that shit because I wasn't so fortunate. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, no amount of pampering is going to fix your mental state.

First dude here, you're not wrong about me.
My desire for suicide might just be harmful escapism, since I constantly use it as an excuse not to apply myself.
I don't want help though. Well, actually i want help, i just dont want the kind of help that results in me having to work hard.
Either suicide prevention starts offering free money and housing for me or i'd rather die. I'm that kind of arrogant faggot

The mitochondria (cellular energy centers) in your muscle or liver cells pull some of the fat (stored as triglycerides) from within your fat cells and put it through a metabolic process. This converts the fat into heat, carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Okay. Have you considered that you may still be depressed which is why youre such a colossal piece of shit?

You dont cut fat by doing cardio, you cut fat by dieting, it is mainly your diet that does the work. And by dieting i mean stop treating your mouth like a garbage disposal machine

No, because my mental state is completely different from what it was back then. I used to go to bed thinking of how shit I was and how it would be better off that I was dead, now I look forward to the next day. As for being what you call "a piece of shit", me acting the way I am towards you is doing you more good than all the therapy you've gotten in you life. If you're any sort of a man, you'll get pissed at me (like you have) and anger is one of the best ways to drive someone to do something.

Good, at least you're honest with yourself. Now fucking get off your disgusting ass and go for a walk.

Hmmm, no.
I've exercised before, it didn't make me start loving life.
I actually stopped exercising because I thought i was going to kill myself imminently, if anything being unfit and lazy seems to be keeping me around

buy used e.g. ebay since around this time new years resolution fags will be giving them up

But this is not about me. This is about you not understanding how Depression works. I do hate myself and most things around me but that is my issue and as stated so many times before is not based in me not working out(Because I am if you didnt understand that). You mask your shitty behaviour in benevolence. You have probably gotten good at lying to yourself. But if not being fat is all there is to not being depressed I can just stop visiting my Therapist now. Its not that I am still unable to feel basic emotions and lengthy interactions with people make me sick. but good thing that can be cured through not being fat. You are an Idiot.

Weightlifting in general is a kind of thing even dirt poor can do. Something like those adjustable weights is idiotic because A) you should be blasting past lightweights in the first place and B) there are far simple variants where you simply put on plates. Overpriced set like that is something a casual would buy, use for a week and give up. You can equip a basic home workout room for $300.

You're doing something wrong. Either eat better or use a good workout regimen or both. Somethings fucky

because you have to start somewhere?

I would love to do these instead of using my ab wheel but I can't find a pole to hold on to.

You can start with doing a few reps with heavy dumbells and move on to doing more instead of starting with light and moving to heavy.

Lifting absolutely helps you lose weight, but cardio helps you more if you are outright FAT and it preps you for actual weights routines. After years of doing nothing your body is simply too weak.

It's a side effect of society. Most of us spend our childhood sitting on our asses learning useless shit at school. When we go to adulthood, we continue sitting on our asses to get a meme degree that allows us to get a job where we sit on our asses, wageslaving.

>meme weights
it's true, I guess. they really do go for suckers in every hobby.

We were even taught in school that a meal should mostly consist of carbs and as little meat and other protein rich foods as possible because they also contain fat

I'm not a gay

You're not gonna get big without extra proteins. Everyone who wants to look muscular is drinking that shit.

I know our ancestors were more active. Ever watch farmer videos on youtube.

I wouldn't mind being a wasabi farmer in Japan. Unlike other farm crops that require constant sunlight, wasabi plants require shade and cool water so you aren't forced to farm in the heat.

And the wasabi farm villages look so picturesque.

Lifting is for filthy 3dpd normalfags. Get the fuck out of my board.

Are you fat? Be honest with yourself. You should start with anaerobic cardio.

According to Yukio Mishima's book, Sun and Steel, he started bodybuilding and exercising only when he was 30 years old and spent the last 15 years of his life, bodybuilding.

Prior to that, Yukio Mishima wrote he was pale, sickly, and fat and since childhood, had never passed any physical exams.

30 isn't too late to get fit. A weak 30 year old man like Yukio Mishima in 1955 Japan manage to start bodybuilding without any professional help or advice. 1955 was 10 years after WW2 as well.

And before his death at age 45, Yukio Mishima still kept his muscles he only started gaining at age 30 so you can still maintain your muscles even in your middle ages.

Started going to the gym at the start of summer. No real weight loss, but definitely an increase in stamina + endurance.

Right now I'm having trouble increasing the weights I use for dumbbells and stuff, not because my arms can't handle the weight, but because it makes my fingers feel like they're gonna fall off. I don't know if I'm holding them wrong or what, but my my fingers end up looking red and sore after every set.

I'm thinking of getting some kind of gloves, but also don't want to be stared at. Any recommendations?

Because in the beginning, lifting weights with less body weight should be much easier than lifting weights while being overweight.

The point is you dont get moosuls by doing easy things

A skinny guy doing squats should feel less burden on his knees than a fat guy doing squats, right?

Yes. That's the point.
You know people do squats with weights typically right?

I go thin first befor starting with buff muscle diet. Still need around 4 5 kilo until my weight is even with my height.
I gain weight too easily. I don't dare trying to cut my belly fat soly due exercise.

Seriously though, try OMAD at the very least. 48s while training when you eat every other day on workout days gives SICK gainz too.

The question I always have about OMAD is, how much do I have to eat to compensate for the lack of calories? Because I'll be getting almost literally a third of the calories that I usually do

Nonsense, it's about moderation and ratios. Healthy typically constitutes: Not overeating, having a sensible macro ratio, e.g. 30:30:40 starch/fat/protein, getting the minerals and vitamins you need, and not getting too much sugar.

Fresh fruit and veg, some rice and/or potatoes, and lean meat, delivers this fine. That's not only cheap but easy and fast to cook. You can also spice to your heart's content.

Lose weight, fag.

Are you trying to lose weight on OMAD? Keep it to 500 cal or less.

Stay the same? Eat your maintenance.

Trying to go for BLOATLORD? Eat more.

Ideally, you eat right when you wake up and consume all your calories for the day in a very small window (between 10 min-30 min, stretching to an hour if you really need to bulk).

Is eating junk food a good idea to gain weight for a skelly? 170 cm, 60 kg here.

Extremely muscular men start having all the same problems as the morbidly obese. They're just a different shape.

How are you supposed to build strength when you're too weak to do the exercises that build strength

Do other exercises.

t. can't cook
Chicken breast(or thigh preferably for taste), vegetables, rice or noodles and onions sauce/fish sauce is everything you need to make cheap, healthy, quick food.

Just bought whey protein shake with BCAA. When am i supposed to drink this? Do i need to drink it on non lifting day?

Because they're retarded or listen to idiots who think that weight lifting help you lose weight faster then cardio when in reality you need both for endurance and for toning muscle groups.

I was also too weak to do a proper push up once, so i did girl push ups until those were too easy because i was so cheap i didn't even want to get a dumbbell.
If you have dumbbells you could just "bench" one those one armed on your bed if you can't do girl push ups and don't want to shell out for any expensive equipment or be embarrassed at a gym.

I already lift at work, and I'm tired when I get home, you nikudango.

You can do progressions (googling will give you a bunch of charts and whatnot).

You start with doing them against a wall or on your knees. Then once you can do so many, you can move on to regular pushups.

Learn2progression. If you can't do standard form of any exercise, start with an easier or assisted version. For push ups, this means wall push-up -> incline push-up -> knee push-up -> standard push-up.

> of steel
>It's all bodyweight shit

Aren't girl pushups worse than incline pushups?

>you're too weak to do the exercises that build strength
Negative pushups, incline pushups. Look them up.

Swimming because swimming is the closest to being in zero gravity.

If you don't know how to swim, buy flotation device plus kickboard.

There's swimming activities like Water Aerobics that don't require people to know how to swim.

Need to? No, drink it if you want more protein or sore muscle.

>You can start with doing a few reps with heavy dumbells
that's a good way to injure yourself, especially as a newbie that probably doesn't have good form nailed down

>you Gain weight through lifting, you're building Muscle mass... Cardio is for weight loss
you're gaining numbers on a scale, sure, but you're still burning a shit tonne of body fat by pumping iron every day - arguably more than you get from cardio since your new big dumb muscles burn through a lot of calories just by existing. Not that you shouldn't just do both cardio _and_ weights though. Cardios still better for your overall health.

>this actually works
Wow, never occurred to me to try it without something to hold on to.

Because s.oyboy.

is 1500 calories a day too few for a 102kg man? I've been doing it for the last month as well as weights/cardio for 40 mins each night, 5 nights a week, and haven't noticed any real side effects, but my housemates are worried and think I'm starving myself and should go up to like 2000.

My muscles used to be sore as shit after lifting but not anymore these days even though I've been increasing the weight. Is this normal? Does this mean i don't really push myself? Or my form actually just got better so it doesn't hurt anymore.

/fit/ and/or /pol/ meming and failure to understand how nutrition works.

You might want to up it soon, maybe in another month or 2 to 2300. So the muscles don't starve. Besides feeling like shit, there's nothing wrong with it if that 102kg is mostly all fat.

In general you'll underestimate your intake and overestimate your expenditure. This is at least half because food labelling leans towards the blatant untruth (so they can sell more food). Do you feel generally hungry?

Can I meet Billy in heaven if I lift hard enough?

Hey, at least one person giving advice is probably right. I'm not going to speculate on WHICH, but if you try everything and don't die it should be possible to determine.

If you eat enough calories, the energy will loop onto itself and make you skinny again. You also won't exist.

I've had a bum elbow since i was a teenager because of chronic bleeding into the joint. Slowly building up exercise into doing some pushups every other day seemed to help at elats if my memory can be trusted,
I've fallen off the wagon and haven't dont anything for over a year and the elbow recently started seizing on me, you think i should bother trying to exercise it back up again when I barely have a will to live or should i just forsake it to indolence like the rest of my life?

>Do you feel generally hungry?
not usually, no. It's kinda boring, but I've mostly been eating a shit tonne of chicken and microwaved mixed vegetables, with the occasional slabs of steak. Makes it pretty easy to hit 1500 with 3 decent sized meals.

>if that 102kg is mostly all fat.
eh, I've always been pretty muscular. Given the charts that float around, I'd say I'm like 20-23% bf as I have no noticeable love handles, my stomach sits flat, my back has a clear defined arch to it etc, but there's still a bit of pudge around everything. I'd imagine I'll be pretty fit looking by about 90-95kg so I'll definitely be going up to 2000ish in a month or so if 1500 is fine for now

You want higher reps if you want to get bigger. If your goal is more towards strength and not size, you should do lower reps but with heavier weights.

Already on it.
I guess I just really wanted someone to confirm

Buy dumbbels and train at home. You wont get big, but you can do a massive variety of exercises with them to tone your body.

Can't speak for the anime, but they do come up occasionally in the manga.

>418 lbs
Jesus. I suggest letting a tiger nosh on you for a few hours

It will be more difficult for you to achieve a lower body fat and higher levels of lean muscle mass due to the fact that your testosterone levels are likely beginning to lower (This helps increase the rate of your metabolism, recovery, energy, etc) but it's still possible to achieve an "ideal" body.

Most likely yes. Depending on your age (For reasons mentioned above) your basal metabolism rate is likely around 2200-2500 calories per day. On days you're training, you're likely burning a substantial amount as well (But that depends on exactly what kind of training you do and at what intensity).

You generally want to be no lower in long term weight loss than 500 calories than what your body is burning throughout the day, or else your metabolism actually slows and will attempt to more or less hang onto every calorie it gets.

On another note, just because you consume "x" amount of calories doesn't mean weight loss. 500 calories is much different than 500 calories of M&Ms. Ensure you're hitting proper macro goals, as I mentioned in a previous reply.

As manga reader I can say that all this shit comes up quite often.

Thank god for that.

Because I can't be arsed to force myself to do something I don't enjoy

I am totally fine with that since it only gets in the way of examining shit, though the muscles fetish still comes up several times.
I don't even want Sakuras incredible strength have any continuation. Fuck that, give me only more tips to get more buff.

>I don't even want Sakuras incredible strength have any continuation.
In the manga it does come up from time to time. But it's just a background trait, not a main element of some multi-volume subplot or whatever. In the end Danberu is just a fitness themed slice of life.

Depending on your needs, I wouldn't say it'd be terrible to put time in lifting. Focus on lifts that will benefit you the most in your marathon in terms of muscle such as your quads, glutes, hip flexors, lower lumbar, etc. Core lifts would include squats, deadlifts, good mornings, front squats, hip flexor machines, etc. Take care to do plenty of dynamic stretching as well. However don't forget to include low intensity cardio work in as well for at a minimum of 30 minutes. Jumping rope, rows, and swimming are some of my personal recommendations, but train however you seem to prefer.

Also, increase your low GI carb consumption to ensure your muscles are going to be filled with enough glycogen to power you through your workouts. Don't forget lean protein as well as proper rest between workouts.

these threads are incredibly unhelpful because you fags dont agree on literally anything

my friend is like 6'3 230 or so and he eats about 4k

Calculate your daily TDEE and add 500 kcals to that. That's optimal way to bulk without getting too fat in the process.

>I wouldn't say it'd be terrible to put time in lifting.
Oh, I am lifting but more in endurance direction with 15 reps 3 sets.
I started working out again since like last November and despite forced to take a break for like 2 months I made great advances.
Right now I reduced my weight from 108 to 95 (1.90m) and I run around 15 kilometers, probably can do 20 if I need to.
I fear though, because I have difficulty with losing weight, eating more even if mostly protein I won't get rid of the rest of the fat. Loosing weight is always difficult for my body. I have no proper scale for it but I think around 5 kilo of unnecessary fat remain.
I think about getting rid of those first before starting getting buff.

Some years ago I managed to lose about 10 kg, and now I'm at the border of overweight/healthy weight in terms of BMI. I have found it more difficult to actually get into shape (ie. get an acceptable body) than I did to lose weight. Wat do?

Also I'm an akward fuck so what are some at-home cardio exercises I can do? I only lift semi-regularly with my dumbbells.

Because it's retards sperging out about the most minute of details, but the truth is that if you follow some basic workout plans and do them safely and are consistent, you'll see gains and improvements if you also are eating right for your goals.

Antidepressants don't alleviate symptoms that exacerbate psychological conditions (high blood pressure, arthritis, certain headaches, sleep deprivation). So I feel like that's not the best comparison.

You're fighting all of the above while becoming less injury prone, and lethargic.

I was never overweight. But I was a socially anxious mess.

Tldr benefits tremendously outweight any cons.

The con is i'd have to try it.
I'd rather die without trying and try and know I'm hopeless

If you say so, man. I hope you give it a go someday. You'd be surprised how many gym bros are, or have been where you're at. The climb and fight against hopelessness makes it all the funner imo.

>3 times per week gym to lift shit
>2-3 times per week running 5km outside
Meh. Let's see how long it will take to lose some belly fat.

Can confirm. Lifting makes me feels better and more confident overall.

This is right. By rights I should hate the shit out of myself, being totally unable to kick my binge-eating habit no matter what I try, but even without any gym in my area simply waving weights around at home for an hour a day five times a week and using my cheapo exercise bike at my standing desk makes me feel human.

I may not be healthy, but at least the exercise keeps me from being suicidal. And my coworkers even compliment me on my muscles. (Imagine what life would be like if I didn't have the ring of fat covering all of them...)

i am a twig (female) and nobody loves me and nobody will love me because aside from being physically unattractive i am also a socially stunted tsar bomba and sound extremely rude and condescending without meaning to be. my brother and i had a silly mockup about job interview questions and i tried answering them and he just laughed and noted how awkward autistic and hardcore rude i sounded even though i felt like it was completely natural and normal.

After years of training, I can tell you: Weight loss is done in the kitchen and the fastest and safest method is Intermittent Fasting + Keto. Just don't eat.

You need to roid to get that level.

Look. I am not saying that there aren't better methods. But this one has worked for me - who loves eating sweets - to fall from 90kg to 60kg in three months. Just simply don't eat.

For example?

Don't fall for the high rep meme for core lifts. Stay under 8 reps, preferably with 3-5 sets, to actually build muscle tissue. Anything above those rep amounts will indeed help break down tissue outside of the actual muscle tissue, but you're not going to get anything in terms of either strength or size gains out of them.

In terms of macros, I'd try to approximate your BMR and get a feel for if you have room for extra calories. If you're trying to either maintain your weight or lose some, don't expect to get any muscular gains. I'd suggest if you're trying to get the most out of your training, increase your macros. You might gain weight, but if done correctly it will be in lean muscle mass. From there you can always cut excess weight once you're content with your strength goals.
As has been stated before, you can't gain lean muscle mass while your body is actively trying to break itself down due to being in a caloric deficit. Your best bet is to attempt to do what's known as a "clean bulk". Granted this is less effective if you're not doing core lifts such as bench press, deadlift, squats, etc, but you'll still be able to achieve some lean muscle mass. As stated previously, yes you will likely gain some weight. But the goal should be replacing fat with lean muscle mass, and due to muscle tissues (And all the other supporting tissue) being more dense than fat, you don't have to worry about the weight gain.

As for cardiovascular exercises, a jump rope is easily the best and cheapest answer. If you can afford it as well as find someone to properly show you how to properly throw punches and kicks, a heavy bag is my personal favorite tool for cardio work.

Then how do cyclists gain tree trunks for legs where in cycling the load isn't large but you do many many reps

It's generally accepted that high repetitions will result in sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (The tissue besides muscle fibers) while lower repetitions results in myofibrillar hypertrophy (The actual muscle fibers). SH will indeed increase muscular volume, but will not actually increase strength goals. Should you be cutting and you reduce your water retention, you'll have more defined muscles should you go with the latter option rather than the former.

On a side note, most bikers that have these "tree trunks" will generally actually have varying degrees of intensity based on the gears they ride in, the speed they ride, and the terrain they ride. Ever notice that professional bikers tend to train in areas with different levels of elevation?

This guy was proven to be mentally unstable wasn't he? I tried that snake juice shit for a week and ended up blacking out and falling over.

Yeah the only thing that actually has an effect on improved strength is higher loads, isn't it? By nature that's gonna be a low rep deal

Because I've been lifting for a while before this.
>1) Lifting doesn't help you lose weight
It is the most efficient weight loss method in terms of the ratio from time spent to calories burned.

You're not hungry because you sit on your ass all day. Once you start exercising/working out you'll be eating more because your body is exerting more energy.

Yes, here's your (You)

I love curt petite autistic girls. It's my primary fetish.

No you should lift while overweight because while having so much body fat it allows your body to still build muscle despite being in a caloric deficit. This goes away as your body fat decreases. The only exceptions have to do with injury risk. Which you address my modifying not abstaining completely from weight training.

On the one hand, yes, this is why chronic masturbation doesn't do anything to increase your strength. On the other hand, the year I spent cycling over a 1,000-meter mountain pass every weekend did wonders for my overall strength. You're really engaging your whole body to haul yourself over the mountain.

Actually I've been lifting, exercising and eating healthier for more than three years now. Didn't cure my autsim with women thou. Going to be a wizard next month. Actually I'm looking forward to it. I don't care much for 3DPDs anyway.

Mine too, because I don't have access to a gym and no surface in my apartment can support a pull-up bar. I have literally never found a place to do them.

...were you doing your exercises properly?

Do you have wooden door-frames? You can get bars that hook over the lintel, and let the frame take the weight.

I legitimately hate myself, but obesity necrosis is disgusting and I'd rather die at the expiration of my natural life.

IMAGINE THE SMELL

Training Volume does indeed mean Repetitions x Load (Generally considered weight). Higher training volumes certainly increase hypotrophy. However, it's much easier to hit higher training volumes through moderate repetitions that high. For example, take a typical back squat. Let's say your goal is to achieve a total volume of 1000 lbs. Consider your options below:

250x4
125x8
85x12 (Technically 1020, but closet approximation)

Each set is technically achieving the same training volume. However, when performing multiple sets, there is a certain point to which muscular fatigue can become an issue. Take for example the 12 rep. Imagine doing 5 sets worth of this, or a total of 60 reps. While it's possible, between the difficulty due to fatigue in addition to the time needed is much greater than what would be needed for the lower repetition sets. Additionally, more repetitions result in more chances for injury to occur, especially when fatigue sets in. Does this become an issue in controlled lifts via machines or cardio? Not necessarily. But in more complex lifts, this becomes a major issue.

In addition, there have been a multitude of studies that support the hypothesis that lower rep sets increase overall muscular hypertrophy. I can link them if needed.

Yeah damn that sounds awful, I remember a friend of mines telling me he'd often get blisters or rash bumps if he didn't do something about it and that shit was way more irritating to walk around with

It's either go to gym or have enough sleep and the latter is infinitely better than the first

You're fine. Water is vital for hydrolysis and injury prevention while your muscle gains are also going to give you more weight short term since it's denser than adipose (fat). Youre Greek god body is emerging, don't be dissuaded

The reason those cost so much is because they put the shipping cost into the regular price of the item so they can pretend shipping is free. Really heavy stuff like weights cost a fuckton on amazon for that reason. You are going to have to put on your normie face and go to a real life store if you want to buy weights at a reasonable price.

I had surgeries of this as infant on both sides. Hereditary shit. No problems whatsoever, but as adult, it's a different story.

My wife Hibiki told me she loves me the way I am, user. Sorry.

Your wife would STOP loving you as much if you became healthy, strong, and made a goal of becoming a better person?

I dunno if you have a very good life-partner, user.

How the fuck do people do squats without their knees exploding? I'm not even using any weights ffs.

>taking it literally
I plan to go to one of the local gyms, user, don't worry. Sooner or later.

this is sad. this thread is full of people who were never told by anyone that loves them to stop making excuses. even if it offended you at first they loved you too much to not tell you the truth.

By driving a healthy lifestyle during their time and not being 150 kg in their twenties.

Bad form most likely. Not enough muscle activation and bad levers give too much pressure on knees.

Well, I'm not 150 kg, not yet at least. A bit over 80 kg. I don't even feel my muscles moving, just pain in my knees. Guess I'm fucked once I get old.

>just take a walk every day
That's normally enough. Getting the body of a Greek god is a meme. It's a hobby, there are a lot of ways to keep your body healthy and in balance besides working out.

Yes,, The most difficult exercise but the one with the biggest results is "put down that fork and leave it put down".

I've been lifting for a very long time now to the point of being hit upon by muscular men.

Correct form.

You can lose weight by just eating less than your tdee and doing nothing else.

What the correct squatting form? Parallel?

Asking for correct squat form on 4channel is a good way to get to snap city.

Not locking your knee completely down.
Keep your torso straight.
Arms extended straight ahead of you.

It is so hard even without fastfood, bread and sugar. Food addiction is a thing.

Put a bench behind you. Back your ass up and try to sit in it. Don't move your feet. Low bar only.

I know nothing about working out but a good tip I got was to push from your heels, not from your toes. Made a huge difference for my knees.

yes, I am procrastinating and yes I can not control it

This. There's a lot that's wrong with me as a person and being unfit is the least of my worries.

I have access to a yoga mat, 2 15 pound Dumbbell weights, and a treadmill and trying to set up a workout routine doing the legs one day, biceps/triceps next, ect. any advice for setting it up? I plan on doing 3 sets of 12 of all the stuff (im not completely new to working out just new to setting up a non full body workout routine and instead spreading stuff out over the week.

Honest answer? No, but you can get pretty close

I did start doing the exercises at the end of each episode every day for my waifus Hibiki and Akemi. I can't decide, both make my dick hard.

I'm starting to gain a little bit of muscle and feel like I'm in better shape, but I still have a long way to go to get /fit/.

try jogging around for half a mile and see if you feel fine

I was you, except taller.
Start working toward 1 hour/day with 30 minutes on a rower and 30 minutes doing weights/ab workouts, which is what I do. Initially you will take a lot of breaks, but that is okay. You can do the weights/ab workouts at home with cheap equipment, and go to a gym for the rower if you can't afford one or don't have space.
I stopped doing anything physically demanding at age 22 when I finished college, 6'3" and 130lbs. I remained at almost that exact weight for nine years, but what little muscle I had turned into a very thin layer of fat because I didn't do any physical work at all and walked maybe a quarter mile on average each day. I had a steady diet of ramen, chocolate, potato chips, pizza, and ice cream. I probably had less than five healthy meals each year between ages 18 and 31. When I finally got around to working out about 18 months ago, I had the same problem you do with feeling like I was going to vomit. So what I did is I started buying ensure, the weight gain bottle thing, in bulk. I would drink one of those and each a small amount of food a bit before going to exercise, and then when I got home after I showered I would feel hungry, and that's when I would shovel as many fruits/veggies/chicken into my mouth as I could handle. Eventually I worked my way up to what's got to be close to 4k calories/day. It took longer to build up my tolerance to food than it did to build up my endurance at the gym, and it was obviously the lack of calories that was slowing me down.
Just eat enough to have the energy to go work out and you'll gradually build up the ability to eat more.

Look up exercises section here scoobysworkshop.com/

Scooby has a lot of exercises for every body part with just dumbbells and also shows correct form for each of them. Just pick the ones you like and make routine where you target all your muscles throughout 3 days.
