Four months. Four fricking months I've spent following guides, reading routines online, and hitting the gym. I've read threads on here for years and decided to finally get serious about getting in shape, and this is the shit it gets me after four weeks of on-and-off working out? You clowns don't know what the frick you're talking about clearly and now I'm left trying to fix a dirty bulk that made working out hell. Does anyone have any recommendations for making the best out of it that DOES NOT include cardio and minimal lifting (bad shoulders, non-negotiable). Pic related.
JUST
Frick off if you're not being helpful. I'm posting myself because I want to improve, why are you even on this board? Post a picture of yourself so I can do the same and laugh at you, you clown.
I will give you honest advice, if you want to lose weight and get a toned body you need to eat less, hit your protein goals, eat good nutritional food (not processed) and mostly veggies.
Then if you want a toned body you NEED to do cardio, running is the best for a toned body, look at football/soccer players, they all have toned bodies. So go run 3 times a week for about 30 minutes, not more. Then when you've lost enough weight you can start eating normally. Do all of this while working out, bodyweight exercises are the best, push yourself until your muscles literally can't do more. And don't for get to get GOOD QUALITY sleep, it's not about the hours, it's about good quality. And now that's how you build a good body.
I could go into much more detail on it, but that's the BASICS of a good body. Now get at it and stop whining, it's not easy but that's also why it's so rewarding, you will look like a god amongst all other average men, let that be your motivation.
what are your shoulder problems exactly? u cant expect ppl to help u if u dont even say whats wrong.
KEK
>no cardio, no lifting
So basically you don't want to exercise. Yoga is pretty much it, homosexual.
Frick OFF if you're not being helpful. And learn to read, I want to do lifting but I can't because of my shoulders (work related, I work at a big box store).
frick off, you aren’t helping yourself you fat piece of shit. lose some fricking weight, go on a run and stop eating so much you c**t
didnt read but i feel immense pity for you. you look worse than a sack of shit, probably very low iq as well, judging from that thoughtless subhuman expression.
may you be luckier in the next life
Does anyone know if this shit is reportable?
You are on IST bro. Try to at least workout for legs if upper body cant be worked. You really need the test boost.
Thanks bro, what would recommend?
Well, if you lift on leg day with proper intensity then one leg day a week should be fairly sufficient to stimulate leg growth. When the whole focuse is legs you can also do two seperate workouts focusing wither front or back of the legs. Just start with compounds, finish isolations and then do them with high intensity and you'll get benefits of growth.
> judging from that thoughtless subhuman expression.
umh, that's called the sam hyde face, sweetie.
>non-negotiable
Ok Mr Blaha
It all depends on where you start but that isn't bad for four months, especially since you've stated you've not been power lifting. I'd suggest doing a cut to shed the excess weight and if you can't sort your shoulder problems try and find exercises that work around them. Your instance on not doing cardio is just wrong though, like a diet you need varied exercise, its like saying recommend a good diet that doesn't involve Protein.
As I mentioned in the OP, I've on the recovery half of a dirty bulk. With the added weight, any cardio I do makes me sweat immensely and feel like vomiting almost immediately so I'm looking to avoid it.
Do couch to 5k, hands down the best cardio routine there is to get back into it. I had childhood asthma and lost it from doing interval running.
the vomiting feeling means you went too hard for your current fitness level. look to get to the "blood taste in your mouth" as an indicator as to when your session was okay. And deal with the sweat lmao

Black person
>4 months
Come back in at least 3 years, summergay.
> 4 weeks
> on and off
> not lifting
> dirty bulk
What did you expect? Eat 1g protein per lb of bodyweight, lift full body 3x a week, 10k steps a day and come back in 6 months.
>i listened to your advice and it was bad.
>what advice can you give to help me?
Come on now.
I have bad shoulders as well. Lat raises and bench press put me out of commission for like a week if I'm pushing it. What exactly is wrong with your shoulders? May want to get that checked/go to physical therapy.
For some reason, dumbbell press and front lat raises don't bother my shoulders. Maybe you need to find the right exercises.
Also, a thing about lifting is that your muscles aren't always the bottleneck for how much you can lift. There's a bunch of other shit that goes into it like tendons and ligaments etc. You might want to start with very light weight on exercises that are bothering you.
And frick, maybe all of this doesn't apply because your shoulder(s) are fricked (except physical therapy) but that's my two cents
Also, natty there is no way in hell you are going to see your gains over 4 weeks. Since you're bulking it probably just looks like you gained weight. But bulking is the fastest way to gain muscle. You don't necessarily need to bulk to build muscle but it will happen more slowly. Either way, it's a marathon, not a sprint
oh wait it's 4 months. Ok well what I said still applies
OP let me get this clear, you did a dirty bulk but didn't lift?
>takes advice from /fit
>doesn't get fit
the joke writes itself
Sounds like shit genetics to me. Sucks ass, but you just gotta play with the hand you're dealt.
homie do 50 pushups and squats a day for 4 months and you'll see more progress than this
Prey eyes
You should start squintmaxxing
Also get buccal fat removal
Get an actual haircut
Jesus h christ you hit all the squares on the weak numale bingo
Your body is the least of your problems
Work on your looks instead
> “on and off working out”
> “no cardio and no lifting”
Is this bait?
Front squats, back squats, dead hangs (non negotiable), walking, weighted jump rope.
Is it normal for YT bois to grow no chest hair?
are you serious? I built a lot of strength and sexy chest in just 3 months! Sorry, Anon.
>Four months. Four fricking months I've spent following guides
>this is the shit it gets me after four weeks of on-and-off working out? You clowns don't know what the frick you're talking about clearly and now I'm left trying to fix a dirty bulk that made working out hell.
OP projecting, bumping to lol
Bait thread but I'll reply anyways. What the frick did you expect to happen in four months, especially when you haven't exercised at all before? Let's see where you are at in four years
Four months is very little time spent OP, real life isn't like a movie training montage
>I've read threads on here for years
>four weeks of on-and-off working out
Kek, nice bait thread. Let's see who you can catch.
>Dirty bulking
>Not lifting
>No cardio
>wonders why he is fat
dumb moron
Your BF is too high to see any results. Try counting calories and going on a clean cut for a few weeks and report back. Eat high protein, moderate carbs and fat. Cut out the processed garbage and alcohol entirely (phase it out of your diet for a couple weeks and then eat as clean as possible for a few more). Drink nothing but water – and a shitton of it. If you're drinking caffeine for energy, cut back or cut it out if you can.
Focus on a hobby that doesn't involve a screen or learn something new for mental self-improvement and spend less time online for that first bit of detoxing. Go outside and get some sun. Once you've lost some fat, you can see better what you're working with.
If you've got injuries, you can improve slightly with mobility training. If you have the ability, get a physio referral. They do wonders!
Is everyone on IST this ugly?
If you didn’t see results in 4 weeks or on-and-off lifting then you need to start roiding before you lose the chance to get noob gains
Stop being a gay. Mindset is part of becoming stronger. Just fricking belief you're meant to be huge and powerful, truly believe it and marinate in that feeling
four months is nothing, and at your level even the shittiest bro split there is will get you results, just eat protein and stick to ANY routine for at least 6 months
Disgusting fat frick
Inseminate me
