eat a loaf of bread right now user

I lost about 10 or so pounds about a month ago from some health issues and I can't get it back.
I ate an omlette of 4 eggs and two slices of toast a couple minutes ago

I just need to fucking diet and ride the exercycle for a few months I guess. Pain in the fucking ass

fried chicken nigga. No way to not gain weight eating fried chicken.

Eggs are rather filling without a super high amount of kcal, though.

You better have like 500 kcal of butter and cheese on that shit, with a pint of whole milk.

my ideal body would be a meme for Veeky Forums yet I can't do it

When I'm cutting I feel small.

When I'm bulking I feel like a fat fuck.

JUST

>want to join the military
>need to do cardio
>losing gains slowly because of this

I really want to apply to OTS when I graduate but I don't want to give up all my gains

>he thinks glycogen are gains

I can do 1/2/3 but not 4 yet. So it's not just fat.

> cutting
> going through some shit and liquor is the only thing i look forward to at the end of the day

i would've reached my weight goal by now if i wasn't an alcoholic piece of shit, i'm still losing weight though. i'm trying to just keep it to once a week but it's hard.

you're 60Kg! Post body pic right now! but don't stand sideways, I actually want too see you.

Just start cramming food right now

>manlet
>will never not be a manlet

I stopped going to the gym for a while and now I can't even come close to my previous average 1/2/3/4
>Why even live?

barely enough money to feed myself for two years so no gainz
>home and it's impossible to have good gainz with their cooking

This is where I am right now

Stop living the wonderful American dream you fucking wage slave, move somewhere new.

>been liftin for 2 years
>still weak
>look like shit
i track my calories and macros and push my self 6 days a week
am i just a failure at everything i touch? should i just kms?

That's the sort of breakfast I eat when I'm cutting to lose weight, nigga. You need to up your nut game. Get dem dere peanuts and go to town.

Celiac disease doesn't help either

FFS user

You need some calorie dense food if you want to gain weight. You've got the perfect starting body to bulk up and look great.

>ppl
>all in kg 1rms bench:95 diddy:160 squat:100 tfw long legs

See that's the thing
I barely eat bread and the bread I eat is corn bread that tastes like rubber

forgot
>186 cm tall
>90 kg

Sounds like you're not making your cornbread right.
t. Southerner

Still, your problem is the lack of calorie-dense foods. What's you myfitnesspal for yesterday look like?

Where's your OHP? Also just saying PPL isn't your routine post your workouts man. Also why the fuck are you even going for 1rms if you're this low. Nigga start going for strength or hypertrophy the 1rms will come when you know what you're doing and have good form.

No, i meam bread that is made with corn flour
This shit is as good as it gets for both caloric intake and being gluten free

>inb4 That's white bread
I fucking know that, it's all there is

I got kicked out of my gym for being paranoid about climate change, I live in a coastal city so I am pretty worried about all that shit, my house already flooded a couple of times in the last 2 years. Basically I decided to incoporate my paranoia into my workout thinking that could at least help, so I started building a 'sea wall' in the gym out of plates. I only did this at night and always tried to put them back, but one day I got caught pouring water over the wall of plates (to test it) and got thrown out for 'damaging equipment'. It fucking sucks man. I've been piling rocks at the beach since then.

Why bother with bread at all? There's other shit you should be eating if you want to gain weight

Gallon of milk a day. Dozen eggs a day. Fried rice every day. GOMAD DEAD FRED. You can do it user.

My Veeky Forums struggle is that I work an active job 10 hours a day and my legs feel like total shit afterwards. If I lift before work I can't make it through the workday without extreme pain. I will never hit my speed strength natty max because of work.

>tfw struggle to eat 2600kcal

...

I'm home from college for the summer and I can't cook for shit
Reaching my bulk TDEE is a pain

/fat/man

starting weight was 280, but now im stuck at 236

i think im constipated, and im gonna eat a bunch of lentils

DOWN IN A HOLE AND I DONT KNOW IF I COULD BE SAAAAAAAAAAVED

Try peanut shells

>been meaning to go to the gym for the past 2 hours
>been shitposting on Veeky Forums instead
Ree

Go.

Fiiiiine

I'm in the same boat

Any recommendations to balance strength and cardio growth together?

You'll lose a lot of muscle in BCT. All you do is cardio and standing.

>When you just lost 45 pounds on a meal replacement shake diet and your friends eatin' cheesecake in front of you.

Ok seriously, this gluten free meme is old and needs to stop.

no matter what I do I can't lose weight. I just start to retain more water the scale always stays the same

Dehydrate you're veggies first, and replace an entire meal with one of those meal replacement shakes or bars.

>too poor for gym membership
>run out of weights to lift

Thought about stealing some bricks, putting them in a backpack and lifting that

>everyone mad cause tfw no negative support group

>realize I shouldn't have strayed from zyzz life

yeah but tfw hipster gf is pretty good

I've found the doing HIIT helps


Also ladder sets. Starting Low weight and high reps then working your way to high weight low reps.

Also since I'll need to be doing lots of push-ups and such, I try to incoporate rowing and swimming into my routine. That way you can get a great cardio workout as well as good upper body one depending on your routine.


It still makes me a bit sad cause even if I end up super lean and strong. I'll look totally dyel. I won't give up strength training totally though. OTS has around 60% acceptance rate right now and while I think I wouldn't have a huge problem getting in. I'm not going to sacrifice all my gains just to not make it into OTS for whatever reason.

Make some shakes my dude. Whole milk, peanut butter, oats, and some frozen fruit- EZ calories. Also learn your eating limits and ways to work with them, I would sometimes force myself to eat more which would inevitably cause me to puke when I started bulking.

t. ex-skelly

try the meet up app, its shit here in arkansas but maybe ill go to one, one day...

>tfw my oneitis has gotten fat
What's the point anymore?

>third world country
>cant lift as serious as my brethen from Veeky Forums
>never seen a squat rack irl

I just found out I've got low T at 23, which explains my shitty lifts. Now it feels like I've been working out for nothing.

L O B A D

What country?

Brazil, but not TV brazil, rural sopa de macaco shit brazil.

Could be worse, at least you don't live in the favelas of Rio.

Do you know if officers in training go through a boot camp equivalent? I tried finding something about it but I only get general info about OTS

ROTCbro here. Yes, you do a shortened version of it (because you do all the classroom training ahead of time)

Post your lifting numbers OP

Oh, wait, OTS is a longer version of BCT.

So OTS is literally everything boot camp is with some added leadership training for prepping officers? For only 9 weeks that seems kinda simple

Yeah, basically. I was always under the impression that it was like 16 weeks, though. Either way, after OTS you'll have a 2 year BOLC course before they give you troops to command.

Quit trying and start doing. Just eat mcDonalds everyday or something, shit is packed with calories.

They arent as bad as you think, i have family there.

How bad is your situation? Do you have to use makeshift equipment or something?

Dont really have any struggles atm but just wanna type a bit cause this is my blog
Starting college a few years late in a few months so that might be cool if i dont fuck it up again
Eating at maintenance for the summer, finished my cut a while ago
Not feeling too down in the dumps but good feelings elude me as usual
I have nothing interesting to say really, nor do a lot of people. Signing out for now

I started lifting about 3 weeks ago. I've started with just 3 sets of 12 for various lifts like deadlift, squat, OHP, etc but I've ordered a copy of wendler's 5 3 1 and I'm gonna give it a try when I get it on Tuesday

It's 9 weeks for the Air Force. I don't know about other branches

stop being such a fucking faggot, the real struggle is to cut and keep your hard-earned strength

get your shit together fucking pussy

enjoy your no gains, you can still track calories in a good way even with calorie dense food

What the actual fuck

Hi friendo

>started at 250ish lbs in january
>down to 220s fluctuating weight
>95 bench starting up to 130 now
>up to 240 squat
>losing mass but still look like a chubby DYEL faggot

It's like I have this fucking film of fat over my muscles. My legs are shaping up and aren't as flabby, but everything above that still looks like shit. I'm already halfway through the year and I still look like shit despite my gains.

But you can still use all of your muscles on your left arm?

worst case scenario you can just keep eating and lifting and go full bear mode

people naturally fear and respect bears

YOOOOO DAS ME

What's costachondritis?

>Inb4 use Google autist

What symptoms n shit do you have that don't allow you to swim? I have this killer cracking in my chest and when I can't pop it my diaphragm hurts like fuck and always happens after I swim,

Apparently I don't know shit. What is this 1/2/3/4?

STOP DRUmpgf and his evil Republican plan to destroy earth

Can you eat potatoes with celiac's? How about sweet potatoes? There are plenty of ways to do it, bro. I believe in you. My best friend is 6' weighs 120. I'm trying to get his ass in the gym, but he's lazy and depressed. I know he can do it, I know you can. Peanut butter, potatoes, lot's of carbs, like corn chips. Then after loading up om carbs, get your protein and fats in. Double your carb intake if you have to. Stop doing all but the bear necessity for cardio. Stop jerking off so much. Idk man. Hit up Joey Swoll on instagram for coaching. That dude will get you jacked. Idk how Veeky Forums feels about that shit, but he's a great dude and I respect the shit out of him and his programs work.

Don't give up, bro. Just do something outside of what you would normally do. Say hi to strangers. What's the worst goddamn thing that could happen if you talk to someone? They act like a bitch or a dick? Is that your problem? Nah, m8. They look like assholes and are assholes. You just got rejected.

My gym has a poster up that has a quote by Robert Frost, that goes, "I can sum up all I have learned about life in three words: It goes on." Think about that. Life goes on, despite those little rejections. You can't miss every single shot if you take 10,000. But you will never hit anything if you don't shoot. Fucking try, and get over it when you fail. Get outside your box. That's how you grow.

Aight. Done being a fag. I just want to see people succeed.

20 and still live with and off my mom. I know what it feels like to feel like a loser. But I'm getting an aerospace engineering degree, and I'm getting jacked, so fuck it. Life is good. Lol
