Is being short really an advantage?
20250107_025344
I am 161 cm for 44 kg
I never actually went to the gym, I did BJJ and some track and field at some point but that was it, I tried to bulk once but it didn't really work.

a friend that go to gym offered to make me a program, he told me that I would see the results very quickly due to my height/weight and its really easy in general
Is that true ?

Leanpill works if you're under probably 26, then it becomes brutal. Being a fully grown man whose lean literally feels gay

- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week)
- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple of months
- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest
- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural
- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans)

Day 5 of going to the gym every day!
FlTYTD9acAAwiWg
At the behest of some of you, I'm opting to split upper and lower body workouts to every other day, so as to allow one day of proper rest in between, but still maintain my goal of consistently visiting the gym. I'm also hoping this will also grant me greater time and energy to experiment with a more thorough lower body routine, instead of just relying on squats/lunges/leg press/kickbacks.

In addition, I am adding yoga after each session, focusing on stretching the muscles I worked that particular day. And of course a mile run before anything, every day! Lastly, I will be heading out much earlier in the morning, to avoid the crowd and start my days off with feel good energy.

See you there!

/fat/ - Fat Loss General
1716241086021522
Who is /fat/ for?
For peckish pelicans working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice.
Join our Fatty Contest: https://www.fattycontest.com/

>What do I do first?
1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros), LoseIt (great for both), or Waistline (FOSS).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.
Buy scales, be accurate.
Learn to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables.
Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass.
Doing cardio, even just walking, will improve your health. There is no such thing as a healthy fat heart, but you can offset the risks.
Lifting weights will keep and gain muscle mass and lose fat much quicker. No lifting results in the body eating away muscle AND fat.
Drink more water.
Read the /fit/ sticky: https://liamrosen.com/fitness.html

>DON'T
Eat refined sugars, they're terrible for you regardless of calories.
Eat processed foods.
Drink your calories (alcohol, soda, Starbucks).
Freak out over a weight loss stall. Plateaus can last up to three weeks.
"Reward" yourself. Cheat days cheat only yourself.

Tips for aging gracefully?
young forever
I have the following down:
stay out the sun
workout/cardio
no added sugar
one ingredient foods
get your micros, eggs are good
antioxident max, tea, coffee, cocoa, veggies, fruits
whole foods organic in any combination of plants/meat while being a healthy bodyweight is good
fish max
avoid cigs/alcohol
don't carniemax carnies age fast
people that age the best all eat like 70-80% veggies/fruits 30% meat
avoid manual labor, crazy cortisol spike for 10 hours daily will rot you
destress max, this is where video games and tv are actually useful, alot of streamer gamers look youthful in their late 20s because imo low stress from video games/entertainment
sleep max, don't drink coffee if it affects your sleep

I have come to the conclusion that the way you progress in the gym (increasing weight) is the reason why so many guys get stuck in perma-bulking/builtfat mode

You want to keep progressing, but if you stop eating lots of calories, guess what? You stop progressing, so you have 2 choices: Stop progressing, and get lean (lean pill) or you keep trying to progress, which means you can't cut, and you're forced to keep eating a lot of calories

This is why guys who train body-weight calisthenics are all lean, why? because for them being as light weight as possible makes them progress.

Leanness and gymmaxxing are conflicting goals.

If you want to take the bloatmaxx pill - sure, go lift weights in a gym

If you want to take the lean pill - dont lift weights, just do calisthenics

The only exception to the rule is if you take copious amounts of steroids, a steroid user gymbro can be big and lean, but a natural cant.

rest days are a psyop
bill_kazmaier
after a long hiatus i'm doing the wisconsin method and i've been doing the trapbar deadlift every day. i went up from 60kg for 3 reps to 150kg for 5 reps in less than a week. i'm not counting the 6 warm up sets before that. my body is less sore than when i was working out at a lower frequency, your body adapts.

pic related: bill kazmaier 3x consecutive world strongest man champion and the reason it's not more than that is because he was no longer invited the next year because he kept stealing the spotlight. he worked out 7 days a week and did 50+ sets a day.

Hotspot between ass cheeks
1665832557386709
Anybody else ever gotten this? I spend most of the day on my feet walking around, and I guess my cheeks rub together a little. Usually not an issue, but on humid days especially I sometimes develop a hot spot between my ass cheeks from the rubbing. By the time I get home, continued walking can be very painful. I'm 35, 5'9''/~160lbs for reference. Used to work out frequently in my mid '20s but I've fallen off since then. Used to love rooning in my '20s and never had issues like this.

I really want to pick running back up again, I went trail-running yesterday for the first time in ages and felt really good, but today was much warmer/humid and I'm not having a good time. I'm changing my diet and plan on losing about 10-20lbs of skinny-fat, maybe that will be enough. I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do in the meantime.

Rich Piana didn’t die from steroids or a heart attack brit bros.

That’s just what they want you to believe. The truth is far more disturbing.
In his final months, Piana was obsessed with something. He kept talking about growth beyond human limits—a secret he discovered that wasn’t just about training.
He spoke of “activating something inside the body” and unlocking potential hidden in our DNA. Some believe he was experimenting with a secret formula—a cocktail of unknown substances designed to push human evolution forward.
Then, something changed.
Witnesses say his skin became unnaturally thick, his strength became inhuman, and he stopped needing rest. But he also became paranoid. In one of his last recordings, he muttered:
“If people knew what I’ve unlocked, they’d lose their minds.”
Two weeks later, he collapsed. But there was no heart attack. No warning signs.
His body just… shut down.
His autopsy? Inconclusive. His heart was twice the size of a normal human heart, but the report never explained why.
His muscle tissue was described as “unusually dense.
The strangest part? His computers were seized. His personal notes disappeared. His closest friends refused to speak about what happened.
Some believe he wasn’t just training—he was undergoing a forced transformation.
And what if it didn’t kill him?
What if his body wasn’t allowed to be found in its final state?
Because the most disturbing theory isn’t that Rich Piana died.
It’s that he changed into something else, and they took him away before the world could see.

Why do people act like paying $300/Year for a gym membership is a bad thing?

I see it often people saying things like

>paying for a gym membership is like being a rentoid, you pay to temporarily use the equipment that you'll never own

But I use like $500,000 worth of equipment at the gym, and thats not including the space the equipment is using, and thats not including the maintenance of the equipment

So Im paying $300/year to "rent" half a million dollars worth of equipment, and for the space it takes, and for its maintenance... How is that a bad deal?

Rice, not even once. The white man subsists off Bread and Meat. Potatoes on occasion for the potassium.

If you're still eating rice you're just a retard or Chinese.

Gym Duo Problems
images (4)
> Pic unrelated

I've been going to the gym for five years. My best friend has also been working out for the same amount of time, but at a different gym. He’s as much of a "normie" as it gets.

Now that we go to the same gym, I’m starting to get tired of training with him.

> He’s lazy and wants to leave early
We always do four sets per exercise, but this guy constantly tries to lie about how many we’ve done. He’ll say, “That was four already,” when we’ve only done three, or he’ll suggest, “Let’s just do three on the next one.”

This pisses me off so much—he doesn’t even look like he lifts.

A lot of the time, I have to accommodate him, and we end up skipping parts of the workout.

> "Just go alone"
We literally live on the same street, so it’s hard to avoid him. If I go alone, he’ll immediately know I’m dodging him. Sometimes, I straight-up lie and say I’m not going, but then I go solo because I know he won’t go by himself.

> Always late
Every. Single. Time.

I tell him, “I’m ready, you can come down,” and he replies, “I’m ready too, meet me at my place.”
I get there, and—of course—he’s nowhere near ready. It takes him another 15–20 minutes to get out the door, and it absolutely kills my motivation.

> "Just confront him"
I do. In the gym, I tell him, “Bro, we need to work out for at least an hour.”
He just ignores me because he knows I’m right.


I haven’t confronted him about the lateness yet because I don’t even know how to bring it up.

So, what do I do?
Honestly, working out with him is just boring. Sometimes, we have fun, but overall, I feel like he’s holding me back.

The most annoying part? I was the one who convinced him to switch gyms so we could train together, and now I completely regret it.

Does anyone have any advice? I don´t know why normies go to the gym for 5 years to look exactly the same

GooglePay Ghoul Upgrade Thread: I'm the Dr. Zolman Now Edition
bunny-shit-delivery
Turns out our favorite victim-weight ex-roider quasi-living plastination experiment might have aggravated his aging problem with Rapamycin. If his ex-pet Dr. Zolman were a little smarter, Meclizine would have been identified as an alternative off-target mTORC1 inhibitor from NIH's ITP (and maybe even GBM chemoprophylaxis?).

What else might /fit/ do to upgrade the "Blueprint" protocol besides obviously adding some f'n meat and trashing the red yeasty rice plus weird diabetes drugs?

Here's the latest kinda shit replacement Dr. Zolman *should* be reading about:

It sounds like apple cider vinegar has some evidence to suggest it might kill cancer. Why hasn't a study been done to prove if it does or doesn't? We spend millions on cancer research already, right?

how does cycling compare to running, cardio wise? i used to run every day at work during my breaks, but since monday i have to get there by bike, so i'm cycling 20km every day. It feels much better than i expected, i never really liked bikes. i stopped the running because i'm afraid of burning too much calories, but i don't want to give it up completely, just switch to 1 or 2 5k runs per week.

i have absolutely no idea about the actual facts, but it does feel like i build more leg muscles when riding a bike, but running seems to have more effect on my stamina. tell me more please, which is the better option?
