PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR OWN THREAD WITHOUT FIRST READING THIS FAQ.

Your question has most likely been asked before. If you make it clear that you've overlooked an obvious answer in this thread, your own thread is likely to be ignored, mocked, or saged.

Do not forget for a second that /fit/ is hosted on a *chan. The LURK MOAR theory still applies.

This FAQ was created by the late ZC (pic related) with a few modifications by the /fit/ community.

I won't say I'm perfect. I don't think I am, not by a long shot. But I didn't always look like this, and I've come a long, long where from where I personally used to be. I'm 20, and I believe I still have a lot of time to become stronger, faster, achieve a better aesthetic look, and live a completely /fit/ life. I consider myself to be someone who was a beginner some years ago, and has been working hard and picking up as much knowledge as possible along the way.

ZC: Feb. 3, 1987 - Sept. 25, 2008 Just 12 days after placing first in his age range at a powerlifting meet.

Come in here acting like a dick. We don't care. So far, we have never, and will never claim to be professionals. We are not dieticians, doctors, or any of that shit.

We're here to try and help each other, and to help you, without compensation or reward. Take it or leave it.

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto

Description courtesy of anonymous:
>A present for my /fit/ anons. Personally, I think this is the most comprehensive book on fat loss that anyone has written. I've had immense success with it. Plus he isn't trying to throw bullshit unnecessary supplements at you. However, if you're looking for a crash diet, or a program requiring supplements, this isn't for you.

>Warning: It's a .pdf file. It's around 300 pages. No recipes or any other bullshit. It's about diet, cardio, and weight lifting. Easy read though

Enjoy

Sup /fit/ just want to know how I can get toned but not XBOX HUEGE LOl! I've only got a month and I can't afford a gym membership and I'd rather not leave the house.. Actually, since I found this board was up again and I'm towards the last few weeks of my cut I decided to do log to put some new content on here.

First off, for those who were in IRC very early on when ZC started it my screename there was Tuz. I just finished a massive 10 month bulking phase from 125 to 172 that ended July and I'm towards the end of cutting the fat that I gained from that. I'm going to keep this thread updated with my progress as I finish the last 3-4 weeks of my cut.

Pic to the left was a month or two before I finished my bulking up. I don't think I changed that significantly from the photo set the rest of the pics are from. Besides having my lats a lot more noticable from my pose

Been fighting a cold since saturday from I guess running in too cold weather with wind.. its turned into the Flu so I've stopped working out and just plan on trying to rest up and get better before I leave for my cruise.

Leg day monday and arms tuesday went well despite the cold. Wensday I just felt miserable and can't get into the gym in this condition as much as I'd like to.

Wash your hands more and stop picking your nose. You'll get sick less. Stress just makes you weaker so the germs can grow. You're putting them into yourself.
>> No. 1339
I think I've been sick twice this year so its not something I have to deal with often. Just waiting this shit out looks like its almost passed over all the way just in time. I could of been back in the gym yesterday but I think I may actually just wait to start working out again on the ship.

On Sunday October 6, John G. Buencamino, also known as ZC was buried with full military honors in San Mateo, California. He was a driving force here on the original /fit/ board, but he was also a good marine, and a loyal friend. In his short life, he helped a lot of people and made a huge impact in many lives.

Firstly, I'm not trying to be a camwhore [even though I have to admit that is what my picture was originally taken for], I'm just trying to give some perspective on my size.

I'm pretty chubby, and I just want to know some effective ways to drop anywhere between 20-50 lbs. I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat fast food, but I do snack on chocolate and drink too much soda, which I decided I'm going to cut out of my diet.

I have a feeling just eating healthier isn't going to drop all this weight. Advice?

women's bodies = 20-25% body fat. tv, movies, magazines portray <20% as elite. you look normal.

>> but I do snack on chocolate and drink too much soda, which I decided I'm going to cut out of my diet.
smart. carbs are what put on fat weight. read the nutritional labels on the food you buy. fast food/restaurants have theirs on the web or on a poster.

walking everyday will also help

fucking disgusting
those thighs are like a nightmare

eating healthy will help you to lose fat, and it will probably be the most important part. Throw in some running/jogging/biking/swimming and some light weight work and you should be good to go

pic is perfection IMO, as you can see she is thin and TONED not just skinny like most of the skanks you see lately.

sup /fit/ I'm at school and have a serious case of sleep depravation I have class in about 15 minutes should I take a nap and miss it or do I just go through it?

TL:DR will an hour nap make me feel better?
>> No. 1320
I find that whenever I nap I don't gain energy from it. I can't really get in to a deep sleep. I just sorta sit there half conscious with my eyes closed.
>> No. 1334
I am a bit more addicted to sleep once i am sleeping. I normally sleep for a solid 12 hours and stay awake for 18-24, it's not intentional it's just the way I am I guess.

and yes that does mean my schedule does loops, but that's not a problem really

Hi /fit/.

I am currently 18 years old. And weight 300+ pounds. Yes, THREE hundred pounds. I am so tired of trying to exercise and failing miserably at it every single time. I mean, I really tried. I got a Gym membership and tried to go every single day and run for about 30 minutes then lift some weights for about another 30 minutes, for about a month, and only ate small portions of meals 3 times a day. (rice, chicken, ect). No sodas or sugary drinks, but failed. I didn't lose more than 2 pounds in a full month. I seriously don't know what to do now. As I look at my self in the mirror, I just want to cry. I can't believe I let it get this bad. I don't look THAT bad with clothes on, but with my clothes off, I literally look like a monster. I'm just desperate at this point.

Help me out, /fit/. You are my last stand. What can I possibly do now? Do you have any diets that I could try that won't starve me to death? Or any Gym workout routines that someone my weight could do? (I can be at the gym up to 2 hours a day, everyday. Maybe 3 hours if needed.). I am willing to buy any healthy foods or do any routines that would give me hope.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope that one of the replies turn into my salvation.

Some stats about me:

Age: 18
Weight: 300~350
Height: 5'9"
Work Schedule: 6AM ~ 6PM.
Time to work out daily: 2 Hours.

I cut from 290 to 172. Women stopped seeing me as furniture they had to avoid to get to some other nice guy.

Couldn't do treadmill. Started on the stationary bike. Got the cardio monitoring chest-strap and watch. Worked up to the treadmill.

Read a textbook on nutrition and another on behavior modification. Applied them. Learned all of my exercises by reading a pamphlet made by Weider that came with used sears weights I bought (concrete filled).

Self taught from reliable scientific sources, not fad diet or magic guru BS.

You want to be fit?
Do it to yourself. Learn from others. You are responsible. Now seize control of your future.

2hrs a day for a month is too much and not enough. First, 3-7hrs a week is enough. 1hr every other day is minimum.

Not enough-
You spend the rest of your life, not just a month.

Dear /fit/,
How practical is Pavel Tsatsouline's Naked Warrior?
Any opinions on this method?
>> No. 1325
Haven't heard of this book or his methods, but my opinion on bodyweight exercising towards a goal of growing either really strong, or looking like you are really strong (bodybuilding) is that its a waste of time to have a routine entirely on bodyweight. You need iron to make it far in either power lifting or bodybuilding.. however your goals my differ from mine so it may be practical for them if you just want to lose some fat or something.
