Hi, you may know me as Fronk. Frankly, I am a fat bastard. After careful consideration and a long perusing of the fit faq, I will be posting a picture of me shirtless once per week. Every Friday, I will update /fit/ on my current weight along with a picture of my fat self. With any luck this will push me to become a success story that you guys work, and I'll get not-obese.

Week 1: I haven't weighed in a while, but I'm fairly sure I weigh in the ballpark of 420-430 lb. I have no weight counter that goes past 400, so once I get down there I'll start having exact numbers.

This is the /fit/ FAQ. You should read it.

It contains a fuckton of incredibly useful information for anyone seeking to improve their physical fitness.

If you post a question which has already been answered in this FAQ, don't be surprised if you find your post mocked, saged, or missing.

It's here for a reason.

Hello /fit/izen

I am 5,74'' tall and weight 110 lbs and own a female body. Means I have to decide wether to lower down my body fat percentage in order to show muscles and mostly lose weight on my breasts, or deal with the fat percentage and have just little amount of visible muscles. Correct me, if I am wrong so far.

I lift weights and do just little 10 minutes cardio 3 times a week for one hour or one and a half and sometimes yoga or some gymnasic twice a week, depends on my time and mood. But all just in limits.

Since I have small breasts and a slightly bony field on my chest, I dont want to risk losing weight (while working on my chest muscles) in order to have visible muscles. Still looking quite athletic would be my goal. Is there a way out of this dilemma?

I have read several fitness sites, but I honestly struggle with the complexity of the human body.

I was adviced to take POWERBAR RECOVERY SHAKE in order to gain weight, which I am fine with. I just dont know, in what way will it change my body? Does the glycogene restoration help me to gain fat, then bulk and then cut? Should I do this at all or is this nonsense?

Erm, hold on a second here. 5 foot 7 and only 110 pounds? That seems very low to me, especially with comments like:

>a slightly bony field on my chest

as that's usually a bad sign. Time to increase body fat percentage mes thinks. What's an average day's diet for you exactly?

Alrighty /fit/ I want to know.

What do women prefer in a "fit" man? I know this differs greatly depending on women but I feel that a consensus of averages can be reached.

Fat, extremely muscled, bulky but strong, tiny?

I want to know because for me, fitness is a two-fold thing. I get healthy and I get to have a chance at a girlfriend. If you happen to be female, your opinion is very much appreciated.

Pic semi related, couldn't find anything better for it.

They like invisible robots. Hearing clanking and whizzing of the nanocogs while not seeing it and then BAM you're penetrated, vaginally and nasally as a thick smell of oil invades your nostrils, that's what they call HOT.

My car is fucked. But I have a bike!

I know that cardio around the same day as lifting can be detrimental, but at what point should I really be concerned? Its three miles to the gym, three good hills between here and there, but on nice sidewalks.

>>	Trainer 10/03/12(Fri)07:18 No. 6964 If you can't BIKE 3 miles without breaking a sweat you need to retool your workout plan.

>>	Trainer 10/03/12(Fri)09:41 No. 6965 >>6964 Obviously. I never said I couldn't, but then wild assumptions are what make the internet so charming. I've just never had to do anything remotely construed as cardio more than walking on a lift day, and generally avoided it due to whacky /fit/ rumors.

Most people's dominant side will be more vascular. Most people are too chubby to see it.

We use it for low intensity long duration tasks, holding the phone to our ear, eating, writing, ect. It just gets used more.

Old people just tend to get more vascular, I don't know why.

Old+jacked = veins.

Looking for some sort of workout routine I can do without any weights, machines, or equipment of any kind. Basically, I can use anything such as a bed, chairs, etc for abs training and such but does anyone have a full workout that would equally workout my entire body and help me gain muscle mass and/or toning. Normally if I were in the States I would just go to a gym but I'm on a foreign exchange right now and going to a gym here is a little out of the question.

Me: I'm already in somewhat good shape. By far my legs are the strongest part of me. The weakest part of me would probably be my arms and my abs. Those are the main two that I really want to shape up, but I'm far from having to lose any weight or being weak. I weigh about 165 lbs.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

From the sticky read:

US_Navy_SEAL_Physical_Fitness_Guide

Take special note of the calisthenics and plyometrics sections.

You will develop some strength and good toning from calisthenics but don't expect the results you'd get from weightlifting. Moving quickly through your routine will also give you a good cardio workout.

So every god damn time I do crunches the day goes like this.

get in to the gym get dressed do my stretches and get to feel'n pretty loose.

Run 2 miles doing HIIT and maxing out resistance on the eliptical

go grab a 45 lb plate and a 25lb plate set them up at the incline bench. do 10 warm up sit ups with no weight, 10 with the 25 break go get water and let the heart stop pounding from running.

then situps with 65lbs, sets of 20 18,16,14,12,10,8,6

then to do sit ups with 45lbs sets of 20,18,16,14,12,10,8,6

then do 0lbs 20, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and 1 set of sit ups where I turn my self right elbow to left knee and versa vice.

here's the problem, yeah my abs are fucking sore but I'm used to working out so fucking hard I move funny until next week. My ass hurts, I rub the skin off my ass every fucking time and I'm but hurt for the next 4 days.

I am still climbing 5lbs a week on squats and I'm doing 165lbs now and I weigh probably 250.

Benching 150lbs, doing step up works out on the add and abductor machines starting at 110 going up to 315 in sets of 20 then back to 110 for each add and abductors, but of course that comes after squats so my legs aren't shot before doing my compound lift.

My squat will probably go up a lot this week because I was going too far past parralell ant starting with 165 was hard as fuck.

I fuck up my abs on monday, my legs on tuesday and my arms on friday then I take it easy on the week end and do more next week.

Trainer 10/03/09(Tue)08:24 No. 6954

>>6904

My advice is to get your fat ass onto a decent premade noob routine like Starting strength, stronglifts, or the one in the FAQ.

You have no idea what you are doing, and honestly I was squatting 185 atg and benching about what you are 3 weeks after I started training I still have the journals. I was a 16 year old who weighed 140lbs sopping wet.

This isn't dickwaving it's to show you that you NEED TO GET ON A DECENT ROUTINE so you can make similarly quick progress.

Or you can keep benching 150 and squatting 165 and doing abs till the skin rubs off your ass, if that's what you want to do. It's your life.

Trainer 10/03/09(Tue)11:34 No. 6955

Ok hasn't come up yet but you're failing hard at stretching. I know it goes against conventional wisdom (although I still want to know which idiots made the idea popular in the first place) but stretching cold is a terrible idea, making you more likely to hurt yourself. Do some light warm up stuff, THEN stretch a bit when your muscles are warm. Then at the end of your work out do more light cool down exercises, followed by a very thorough stretch. Stretching after a work out is huge, make sure you always do it.

Everything else important has been said by the other two posters.
