Want to start lifting weights /fit/izen 09/10/2023 (Sun) 07:35:26 Id: d39e87 No. 170 [Reply]
I have a Weiider machine from baaaaack in the day that I used to use. But then I nearly killed a nigger and went to prison instead of university. Long story but it was a must. In prison there were no weights or anything really so I just did pushups and this and that using my own body weight (forgot the name for that) pretty much so I wouldn't become sick. Can I make gains with this thing? I'm seeking good health not any great appearance. Or do I need free weights? If so, what should I buy? I was thinking I'd like a chin up bar. Alright, thank you.

>>158 You're severely underweight so I don't see why you would eat a salad. Pump meals you have access to into something like cronometer if you want micro nutrition information. Eat more calories than you burn, move your body around. So eat some fucking peanut butter and do some pushups faggot.

Discuss things that aren't workouts or exercise per se, but help you to improve your performance as well as maintain /fit/ness and motivation. For example: >meditation >wim hof method >supplements >prayer >onions >nofap >abstinence in general >study and inspirational reading Things to not discuss: <roids, drugs and other gay shit Personally I stopped using warm water in my showers, all my showers have been 100% cold for the last 3 months. I've had a huge uptick in energy levels since I started doing this, and I also feel more solid, like my body has become more dense. The reason I decided to do this is related to an observation I made a few years ago. I was visiting family and had my cat with me, and even though it was the beginning of winter, he had to stay in a shed outside because of their dog. Now, he was normally 7.5 pounds, but after a few weeks in that shed, he was 14 pounds. The reason I weighed him was because he was noticeably bigger, and suddenly had muscle definition, it blew my mind that he just about doubled his weight. Interestingly, he went right back to his old weight after he started living inside again. It reminded me of something called "Bergmann’s rule" which is basically an observation that species adapted to cold environments tend to be bigger. Anyway, a couple years later I learned about Wim Hof, which really activated my almonds about a few things, not least of which was my cat turning into a chad in the cold. It might be worth noting that he was unfixed. I think if I keep my cold showers up over the winter I'll see some real progress. Otherwise, I'm on day 7 nofap (29 days is my personal best), and today is day one of a 7 day "mind fast". I won't be playing any games, watching TV, reading anything other than the Bible, or using the internet (with the exception of /fit/, my email and 4 astrology sites, I've already got my tabs up and they won't be changing them for that time). I'm just going to focus on training and meditation. What are you doing to improve yourself /fit/?
>>147 Mostly I just try to get a good night's sleep and make time to recharge after a long week. Mental fatigue can be as killer as physical. Onions and meditation definitely help, though. No evidence for Wim Hof working and ice baths and stuff seem like a meme. But I actually think ejaculation in moderation is healthy. Staying pent up is going to give you prostate cancer.
>>150 >No evidence for Wim Hof working I don't know about not working, but when I do it I get very warm. So it's quite handy if it's cold.

You haven't been touching that soda now, are you? Drink your water, now! Keep your posture straight, keep straightening your back every few minutes because you keep slouching forward. Most importantly get up every half an hour, take a walk, stretch your butt and look outside to unfuck your eyes. Stop ordering crap everyday and make your own meals. Cooking good food is easy and cheap. See pic related, that's the basic foods you need to be healthy. There are many more techniques like keto and shit that you probably don't even need to be healthy. And keep that calories in check.

I think I injured my rotator cuff. What exercises are safe to do until it heals and how long will it take to heal completely? I don't think it's torn but it still hurts every now and then, seemingly at random. I just started getting big pecs and biceps; I don't want to lose them already. pic unrelated
>>125 Take the time to rest and recover. Skip a couple sessions and use ice to reduce swelling. When you start again, drop weight and see if you can increase reps. If it hurts more than a little, stop doing it. Don't let ego cause you to reinjure yourself. Not sure how long one of those takes to heal since I've never had it. But don't sweat your gains. You will probably not gain much in the next few weeks but as long as get your fill of protein and lift even something light your body isn't going to shed its muscle overnight.

Artificial sweeteners: hunger and insulin resistance /fit/izen 09/22/2021 (Wed) 12:21:44 Id: 000000 No. 84 [Reply]
Are artificial sweeteners bad for your health? And to be more concise, by that I don't mean stuff like Aspartame being bad for teeth, I mean endocrinology bad Personally, I frecuently take coffee, and sometimes soda, before or immediately after a workout. One of the main points of the detractors of artificial sweeteners is that they raise hunger levels and fools your body into expecting a rush of insulin which may lead to Diabetes type 2. TL;DR: Do artificial sweeteners raise hunger levels and increase insulin resistance potentially leading to Diabetes?
Some of them might. Stevia apparently doesn't. It probably does. Just get foods without any.

Help me plan my exercise routine /fit/izen 03/19/2021 (Fri) 15:25:58 Id: cffa89 No. 56 [Reply]
So, long story short, I want some advice on planning my exercise routine on Wii Fit U. Pretty much what I have been doing is spending the first hour, every morning doing 10 minutes of "aerobics" (Usually playing a regular Wii game that requires motion controls), then 20-30 minutes of actual exercising (In Wii Fit U), then another 10-20 minutes of "aerobics" (Again, in a regular Wii game). Reason I've followed this routine is because one of the fitness instructors at the gym I used to go to recommended it as the "best" way to get a workout. Another thing they recommended is that I don't do the same exercises every day, otherwise my body starts building an endurance against those specific exercises. So, the routine I've been following for the past few months is just selecting randoms exercises in WFU, five days a week, with Satudays spent going hiking/jogging for an hour (Plan on increasing that time as the days get warmer). Outside of that, I currently work at a fabrication facility, so I spend most of my days walking and lifting (Though, it looks like I'll be let go within the next few weeks). <So, here is my dilemma, what exercises routines would be best recommended in order for me to receive the most benefits? As far as my body's circumstance, I'm currently 5'11", average around 205 lbs. The only real "goal" that I have is that I want to reduce my waist size. Outside of that, I just want to build up the rest of my body, especially when it feels like I spend too much time building up my legs because of everything else I do (Apparently I average around 8000-10,000 steps each day). Also, I only have the chance to set up two routines because the first slot is already filled with activities that do not require the Fit board because, in the past, it seems to become very finicky whenever I change the batteries and it refused to connect or turn on. So, what are your recommendations?

>>87 >What advice can you guys provide on how I should specifically be working out Personally I shoot for a 3 day (monday, wed, friday) a week workout routine (which is easy to fit into my schedule) with a focus on different areas of the body each time so you have time to rest those muscles and recover. Only things I do daily are some push ups/pull ups, stretching, and cardio. On that note, be careful not to neglect/over develop certain areas or you may create muscular imbalances that can cause issues. Since you have access to a gym membership though, I would start there and ask for advice from people/staff since they can likely better assess where and what you need to currently work on to get where you want to be. Finally, you are going to want to look at your diet if you haven't already. Not saying you have to be number crunching levels of shit, but you should be mindful of what and just how much of what you are consuming. >>88 (checked) >Do stuff that actually requires moving and sweating a lot Biking and jump rope are always fun forms of cardio for me. I never liked jump rope as a kid, but as an adult I have grown to genuinely enjoy it.
>>89 Oh yeah, one of the gyms I went to had ropes you could use to get things going before actually moving on to the machines and lifting weights. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it and there are several tricks you can do which make it more fun too. It also had a speed bag which is similarly a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Though I don't think these activities burn the same amount of calories as running or biking a few miles.
>>88 >Do stuff that actually requires moving and sweating a lot. >What you're doing sounds like granny workout, i.e. low intensity stuff that works a little bit of every part of the body to promote flexibility and improve joints, but it doesn't sound like that's what you want. It is all around, but I don't really think it's considered "low intensity". Whenever I go to the gym, I regularly have to set the weight machines up to about 50-60 lbs. whenever doing my upper body, and around 80-90 when working my legs. >I think it's also a good idea to let your body rest between workout sessions I take about 15-30 seconds breathers between 12 reps whenever I do the machines just to catch my breath. >but ultimately if you're 210lb and somehow not losing weight I'm not sure if that applies. I know that particular part has to do more with my diet as I managed to maintain a weight of around 199 just before the Holidays, have been splurging on food for the past couple of months. >>89 >On that note, be careful not to neglect/over develop certain areas or you may create muscular imbalances that can cause issues. That's one of the reasons why I'm asking for advise on trying to figure out what exercises to do on what days with the resources I have. From a brief test I did a couple years ago, my leg muscles are apparently more developed than the rest of my body due to hiking around the different parts of town more often. >Since you have access to a gym membership though, I would start there and ask for advice from people/staff since they can likely better assess where and what you need to currently work on to get where you want to be. At the gym I go to, you have to pay for personal instructors or sign up for generic classes. Though, I could see about asking what advice they can give because I remember them doing the assessment when when I first got my membership.

>>11 Good punching advice. I used to box as a kid and the tfour biggest things I was taught were >strengthen your wrist, because anything that bends will eventually break >the thumb-inside-the-fist-thing, never ever fucking do that >the 2 or 3 knuckle rule, it's critical for follow-up strikes because you have a consistent "base" and know where your hand is at all times (hard to describe but I liken it to having a consistent picking technique while playing guitar, or learning to type via Home Row) >don't try to punch through your target. Learn the distance and learn to "snap" your punches so you connect at the last possible instant. This is why "getting inside" is so critical in boxing if you're on the defensive; someone who can't fully extend their arm can't fully bring their strength to bear on you
>>4 >>11 Anon you really should use boxing gloves for heavy bag work. Seriously, in the beginning the most important thing is to train consistently and you cant do that if you keep hurting your hands or wrists.
My ankles feel much better after running barefoot in the beach sand, I tried running on the sidewalk but my ankle started hurting again after a few minutes of running with just my socks on. Running shoes cause the same problem, I am gonna try running on the grass more because the beach isn't practical during the weekends.
