Have you lifted today? No? Go find something heavy. Pick it up. Now put it back down. Good. Do that a dozen more times.

This is Grizzly, your overlord. I am aware that this board has been dead for quite some time, and that is my fault. I have been very busy with life's endless stream of bullshit and as a result have fallen behind in not just my lifting, but every other meaningful thing I've wanted to do with my life as well. Now that I'm working back into a manageable schedule, I'd like to use this thread for a little experiment.
This thread (and hopefully the ones that come after it) will be a daily journal for anons to chronologue their fitness journeys. After each workout, post what you did, how long you did it, what you did it with, and anything else that happened that pertains to fitness. There is already a similar thread like this one >>32 focused on running, but I would like to expand the workout journal idea to all forms involved, including lifting, cardio, dieting, and anything else that may be of interest to fellow /fit/izens. Yes, it is blogposting and I will not attempt to disguise it as anything else. But it's a good way for anons to share advice with each other on maximizing gainz and bringing up the PPH for the board as a whole.
So with all that being said, tell us about your workout today. You DID lift today, right?

I have been going for short 2 km (1.2 miles) walks almost every day for past 3 weeks now (I rest on Sundays). Previously I was complete couch potato NEET who rarely went outside and that lasted for years. Currently, I weight about 115 kg (253.5 lb, I think?) with my normal clothes on. This is a start but I need to do more. I plan on starting swimming or something, once I gain more strength because currently I feel almost like a cripple. I also need to start stretching because I'm my joints are stiff and I have joint pains. My goal is to start light form of yoga or qigong (one day).

I have started to cut sugar from my diet. I have replaced almost all juice and all soda (including diet soda) with tea and herbal infusions. I like to drink chamomile infusion, pepper mint and sometimes Turkish apple tea. And of course a lot of green tea and also puerh tea. Teas, coffee and yearba mate are great for suppressing hunger. I tried getting into drinking yerba mate but it's a bit too bitter for my taste. Also, yerba mate is usually (but not always) smoked, so it can contain PAH compounds. (btw, I stole these pictures from somebody else)

It's been a while since I've posted in here four months wew, but I am continuing to gym and seeing very good results. I was upset for a while since I couldn't understand why I seemingly couldn't lift as much as I used to, but I was overlooking the very simple fact that I simply switched weight and reps (previously I could squat as much as 180+lbs, but that was only one set of 3, whereas now I am squatting 90+ at a full set of 10). I know it's not a direct comparison but I am getting results. I have also switched to a diet that consists only of coffee, chicken, broccoli, yogurt, and skim milk, and I am seeing excellent results in losing the fat on my body (probably somewhere between 15-20% so not much to begin with) and can just barely start to make out abs. It's more sustainable than I thought it would be, and I have had very few cravings although i did have a dream last night involving a giant peanut butter chocolate milkshake so think of that as you will.
We're all gonna make it.

I am sick anons. Have not been able to lift for almost a month now. I can feel the disease eating at my body.

Doctors keep transferring me around to each other. They say my chances of being cured are slim to none.

I cannot express how much I miss my exercise routine.

Dont forget to do your sets anons. And dont forget to acknowledge the prize that a healthy body is.

Thanks brahs I just got done locking on a pt deal with the gym in my new neighborhood that I’m  moving to. It’s expensive but I feel that it will be good for me because it will make me justify paying for it and the sooner I’m lean I can stop the pt
It’s just good to have someone in the flesh to hold me accountable. The people I’m shacked up with right now don’t have my best interests, they bought me chips ahoy cookies to eat, the guy is supposed to be into fitness and knows my struggle with junk food. Hopefully none of yall will come across such people.

Im just focusing on cardio and a huge calorie deficit. I realized that if I exercise early it will keep in track with dieting and making healthier like eating halo top instead of actual ice cream or legendary pastries instead of pop tarts or an actual cinnamon roll
On the gym stuff I’ll have to cancel it and switch to another one because I’ve been priced out in my current situation. The pt is just too expensive for what it is and they are apparently going to up the price again this month. Just not a wise decision to stay with that gym. Hope you are all doing well.
>>1985 (OP) 
Work out and do a keto diet, maintaining a calorie deficit (so count your calories, all your fucking calories - snacks & drinks are calories too - anything you ingest you count the calories). Keto is a fairly strict diet but it's healthy and you will lose weight faster because you are forcing your body to burn fat for energy. Working out is recommended because it raises your daily calorie consumption and it reduces your odds of developing stretch marks if you are putting on muscle at the same time you lose weight. You might lose weight a bit more slowly if you are putting on muscle (which makes you gain weight) at the same time you are losing fat, but it's way healthier and you look better than just losing weight.

Also make sure to drink water and sleep properly. If your sleep is fucked your metabolism will be fucked which in turn will fuck up your weight loss.
I feel like shit.

My high school running career was pretty good. In 2020, my senior year, my sprint game was greatly increased to where I was able to run in the top group. However, the plandemic essentially cancelled track season, and ruined my spirits entirely. The latent soycial distancing grad ceremony did not help.

While I am not out of shape, I am off my A game both mentally and physically.

Any routines or motivators I should look into for hardcore sprint training? I do have access to a track and I do still remember good form and stretches.
I'm more so looking for organization, if that makes sense.
My main goals are simply to set at least a few new PRs.

Regardless, all sprinting and running discussion is welcome.

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 aga

I've seen that one and I reckon it's bullshit. If you crave candy, your body thinks it needs energy. If you crave chocolate, your body thinks it needs energy. If you crave ramen or bread, your body thinks it needs more energy. If you crave chips or bacon, your body thinks it needs salt. Simple as. It's up to you to decide whether your body is correct or not.
I can't really give proper advice here because I've never been a fat cunt nor had troubles with junk food. Quite the opposite; I'm one of those guys who have to force themselves to eat. I can go for days without eating if I don't keep track. But even still, you can't eat what does not exist. Stop buying junk food and only cook enough carbs and fats to meet your bare minimum requirements. If you do have more calories than you probably should have, then that's the perfect excuse to go and pump some iron to burn it off.

On a similar note, is anybody else here physically disgusted by junk food? I like ice cream and dark chocolate, but lollies are bland, chips are too salty and (if flavoured) fake, sweet chocolate tastes gross and soft drink makes me want to puke. With the exception of ice cream, all of the above are so unsatisfying that it actually hurts if I eat them alone as if I hadn't eaten in 36 hours. I assume this is because my body expects a proper meal packed full of nutrients and produces acid in response but is instead greeted by a low-quality hi

The best way to do that is to occupy your mind on something that makes you forget about eating shitty foods. Doing your usually hobbies or setting your mind on something that makes you forget about eating crap is something I've been doing these past years.

>There are literal videos of animals jacking off or licking themselves for sexual pleasure. How is nature unnatural?
Animals also genocide, cannibalize themselves, and rape their own kin for fun. Just because creatures of nature does it doesn't mean it's natural nor does it mean it should be done. Animals are essence of nature just like humans and can make poor decisions within their lives and do things that are unnatural as well. Your logic is retarded, because this is something (((scientists))) claim when they're the same people who are willing to take things out of context and claim that merely homosexuality exist among animals, because they took a dominant lion raping its victim as an indication of homosexuality being of tolerance. Masturbation has no benefits whatsoever, even Israel the country that profits off of porn industry knows this, which is they banned it and use it as weapon.

If you anrennt eating protein soup you aren’t getting gainz. If you aren’t getting gainz I got nothing for you. 

Protein soup:
Put milk (protein) in big pot and boil
Add protein powder (chocolate for maximum flavor)
Take cottage cheese and roll in whey until you get spheres
Add spheres to protein soup

Post your goals, short term, mid term and long range. Ideally, include deadlines for accountability. 
Personally, my goal is primarily to increase training volume. I'm aiming to complete at least 1 week at 10 hours of training by the end of June. I want to hit 36 hours by the end of the year. I managed somewhere between 25 and 30 hours a week for about 2 months at my best more than 5 years ago so it's doable, though ambitious.

Whats the general consensus on mentzer High intensity training? Most exercise programs are fake and gay. Who can you believe ? 
Hit seems to go counter to most meme training regimen, which comes to me as no surprise.
The cattle do everything in their power to fuck up everything that takes an effort and thought. By studying mentzer i've come to realize how easy somethings can be if you sit down and thing about it.
The metzer system is defined by low volume reps lifting heavy. Big idea right ? Why cant it be that simple?
Replies: >>2034
>>1325 (OP) 
I attempt to follow HIT. I will do a workout and rest for three days in between, so usually, I do it twice a week. Since I primarily exercise at home, it is difficult for me to reach absolute failure within one set simply because of my equipment and the fact that I do not have a spotter. If you don't have access to a spotter willing to help with the negatives, find a gym with a good range of machines. I feel like Mike designed HIT to be more machine-based, especially with his connection to Arthur Jones and the Nautilus equipment. My current setup at home revolves around Powerblock equipment. Without a spotter at home, I usually pre-exhaust myself by doing a few extra sets before I feel I have gone to failure as best as I can.

For those of you without a spotter, a mirror can help. But pushing yourself into a gym would be better.
