I meant to share this

(you can't)

Based, did he ever post his diet & routine?
Going off memory it was cico and ppl
There's no fricking way this is real.
even frogtech got better, reminder to PERSEVERE
There are dumbbell versions of almost every lift, really deadlifts and back squats are where you miss out. There are kinda ways to do this but eh..
Since you aren't working with as much weight and you can do it at home, you are going to want to emphasize more volume/reps than you would with typical barbell focused programmes. Like pick 2 exercises that work similar muscles and alternate between sets of each of them with only very short rests until you can get to failure. You will usually recover faster so you can do more days in the week too.
Not much to expand upon senpai
Do basic calisthenics shit like planks push ups dips, and basic dumbbell shit like rows curls overhead presses etc and you will look like a greek god in a couple months
Is gutsanon back?
Maybe but I am not him.
I never left.
Yeah, I’m thinking we’re back
Good to see you back

Shoulders, forearms, and neck

>shitty posture
Unless you live in a place where you have to put on layers upon layers of clothes in the winter just to not die of hypothermia, then yes you absolutely can. My musculature is visible through my hoodie.
A hoodie is not winter clothing. If it only ever gets cold enough for a hoodie in your area, then you just straight up don't have winter.
You’re missing the point
Depends what sort of winter clothes
I'm certain that a cable knit sweater won't hide your muscles and shoulders if you lift
it boils down to training traps, delts and neck maybe punch the wall so your hands look more manly
2023 was my most successful year yet. This time it really is different, bros, and the next year is going to be even better. I am so ready
Same I got out of my neet cave and laid the ground work to make 2024 my year.
I love sean strickland. Absolute madlad
Sean is a little cry baby b***h who will get heemed by DDP, don't even get why ppl feel for him
Delusional
Daily reminder for manlets and uggoes to kill themselves, you are dysgenic losers and will never be happy or loved
Only indian post in this thread

Wait wtf. Does IST change kek to keko or did i make a typo?
Adding to the thread: the majority of the (natty) female ig models have pathetic lifts, yet they look amazing. Im talking 135 lb squat for 10 pathetic. This means any girl with a 6/10 body can get an 8.5/10 body in less than a year, all you need to do is to find a girl that's already into fitness but follows some meme youtuber routine (motivation is already there) and then put her on a proper routine
Strickland is the ultimate whitepill. He is living proof that you can be a chud with a terrible upbringing and still make your way through life and end up successful.
He really is a chud who took a whilepill and made it
False. I am still a dyel after 2 years of lifting. Not perfect but good diet.
Post body, routine, beginning and current stats
>being motivated by hope and love is much more effective than being motivated by anger
How do I find this after being bitter and reclusive for so long?
Focus on simply gones, take time for your self, spend a evening finding what makes you happy.
>simply gones
whut
Goals maybe?
what is that meant to mean
>there are fun forms of cardio
I finally found out it was rolling after the fundamentals class.
Have fun its a great sport
>you can escape skinnyfat mode in less than six months
Can I get shredded abs in 6 months if I’m 5’1” with 20-25% bf?
There is no gym for your face
You were saying? Also maybe shows the powers of hair maxing.
Zoomer slayer
I haven't listened to the strickland + theo pod yet, just that clip that came out of him crying while thinking about his childhood..
Sean Strickland is the fricking goat. He's literally the cinderella story of a white man.
And have you seen the pics of him when he first got in the UFC? No homo, but, dude was literally looking like a male model w longer hair.
And now he's the champion. Feels fricking good to see a guy climb out of the ashes and really make it. Truly inspiring stuff.
>I haven't listened to the strickland + theo pod yet
He says women shouldn't vote and becomes a victim to Mutt's Law.8/19 would watch again.
he's a gay you're a gay and ddp will knock him the frick out
It's been months since I've had some Greek yoghurt and oats. I forgot how good it was. It's the little things in life.
>my car is slow carbros it's over there is no gym for your car
Amazing
I started the new years off with a shitty cold/flu. When I recover from this I'm going right back into my cut. I WILL get to 12% or die trying.
WAGMI BROS NOTHING WILL DETER OR STOP ME
Hell yeah, wagmi
Good people instinctually like you when you’re fit. Likewise, bad people quickly out themselves.
can you explain more lol
Not him but
>People who are confident themselves, be they ugly, short, handsome or tall will always support you, they may poke fun at you but it's always in good spirits. Insecure men on the other hand though will always try to belittle you, usually in a passive aggressive manner, but mean spirited jokes are also common. The same can be said about your physique, not just your overall attractiveness. It's why high school and college athletes got branded with the douchebag stereotype from skinnyfat nerds despite being some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. It all comes down to insecurities and how each person feels about themselves. Crabs exist in every aspect of society.
How people react to your physique or changes in your physique can be a great judge of character
You don't need to eat 180 grams of protein every day to build muscle. It's one gram per kilogram of body weight. Some dumbass American didn't know how to convert pounds to kilos, so we ended up with this bro nonsense.
sourceyw8gr
I eat .7 grams of protein per pound and it works fine for me. I've even gone as low as .6 per pound and it still works fine. Bro science way overestimates how much protein we need by a shit ton
I’m embarking on a long fast boys, I will be back when I’m at 12% body fat. Wish me luck
good luck anon
Good work
Mma is the biggest white pill
bump. probably last time since my new year resolution is to stop coming onto these forums and social media. godspeed bros
I feel the same but I want this to be here for others
I thought the same, but it feels like all the good guys have left this place. I used to love coming onto IST because it once motivated me to get fit and get my life together. Now, all that seems to be left are /misc/troons, incels, trannies and blackpillers. I'm real sick and tired of this board.
Same but if there are others, that kinda the point of the thread
We need to make this a general bros.
/WAGMI/ Whitepill anons General?
Perfect name, I was thinking the same. I might even make a sticky.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Based Janny.
Not a Janny, I meant I was going to make a pastbin for /WAGMI/ General
For the good of ISTAHAX8G

Go elsewhere with your fetish homosexual
Zoomers are built to be fricked by BJC
he still makes more money doing what he loves meanwhile you're some homosexual browncel who lives with his mom and probably doesn't even have a toilet in his house kek
Israel Adesanya beat the brazilian homie after that fight and Sean beat Israel after that so that L cancels out
based israel is a homosexual
He really is
So? Poatan is one of the p4p best fighters in the world. Two division champ. Plus Strickland went and trained with him after this too.
Now both Poatan and Strickland are champs. Iron sharpens iron.
two division champ in two different sports even, so really like a 4 division champ.
HEEEEM what a great fight
feel like ass today but im gonna to keep on truckin
Same, but I am still going to workout
Dude, do you know whats fricked up? I have same weight as Sean but am jacked as frick, tho im 10cm smaller
He walks around at 220-240

Unplug for a little. Don't watch the news or overdose on blackpills. Get out and do something you enjoy. Get some exercise. Life is what you make it. Make it good
>don't watch the news
Browse end chan's news board, and play difficult games like DS3 or Black Lives Splatter in your unfocused free time. Life isn't about happiness, and not being depsessed isn't about changing your entire way of life in a day. It's good to be dissatisfied with your life & the world, but actual depression doesn't exist in someone who's already exercised & eaten saurkraut for the day (you dimwits).
It is good to be dissatisfied. It gives you goals to strive for. You won't be a defeatist doomer if you are actively doing something about it

Adding for the list
>if you have internet you can anything from boxing, grappling, mathematics, writing
Crazy how we take a thing that has 99.999% of human information at the tip of our fingers and yet most people are straight up bots with 0 knowledge who just work eat sleep and mindlessly scroll on their free time
It really is shocking to think about, most of my life I only ever used it for 3 websites
>a thing that has 99.999% of human information at the tip of our fingers
It really doesn't. I mean as long as you're only interested in the most mainstream kind of info then yes, you'll probably find almost everything.
If you look for
>paywalled research papers and textbooks
>a PDF of that obscure magazine for the russian emigrant literature printed in 1970s
>raw statistics data for your country before it's been normalized and visualized
>maps and documents going back a century or more
>less popular ISOs and EXEs that are barely 20 years old
you're in for a week long search marathon.
It may be a long look but learn more looking for it, and it is still on the internet just hidden a bit
Not only it's a long look, but oftentimes it doesn't give you the info you were looking for. My point is, it's closer to 80% rather than 99.999%.
Some things just aren't on the internet. Some were never put on here, some just died with the last seeder or the last hosting payment.
Hell, it doesn't even have to be something as obscure as I mentioned. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass to find a pdf guide for a washing machine.
I read everywhere on the internet that people got "humbled" and aren't optimistic anymore for the new year. For me it's the exact opposite. This is the first time I'm like "this year is gonna be fricking great". I've already found and start using a fantastic supplement for my anxiety and just reached my old pr in weighted push ups. My life is improving hard.
I feel the same, I spent last year build a base now it time to act
Wagmi, been feeling the same way, 2023 was great.
I think Silverbacktarzan is a pretty cool guy. He trains hard, paraglides and sees the light in the rain.
I just started trying to get into doing pull ups a few months ago. Why are my forearms still so sore after every workout?
My guess would be they're just weak comparatively, my forearms get really pumped after pull ups. I just got into them as well, got a pull up bar for my birthday a few months ago and I've been steadily improving. Yesterday I put a resistance band around the bar and put my feet into it. I was able to really practice the full ROM and form while taking some of the weight off. I'm going to progress to one foot, then no feet eventually. I fricking love pull ups, it has to be my favorite exercise of all time already and I can't even do 5 reps unassisted lol. My arms, shoulders, abs and back look incredible every single time I do them. Maybe try some dead hangs in between to strengthen the forerarms though if you think they're weak
Yeah I was thinking of just holding the position at the top to build the muscles at the top.
I could not get my chin over the bar for a month. Now I can almost do 3. And keep doing that until I can't go up anymore.
Enough of this feel good homosexualry.
>anyone can start lifting, you don't need any prior sports experience
Most sedentary people need serious physical preparation, professional physiotherapy to train without certainty of injury and pain.
>you can escape skinnyfat mode in less than six months
2-5 years if done properly.
>it takes less than a year for people to notice you lift
Sure, even less than that, but don't start lifting if you have terrible posture. You just cement the bad posture. Look at Kevin Hart, absolute question mark of a spine and yet all muscle, still can't move worth a frick.
>programming as a beginner is piss easy, everything works
Nothing works properly if you are not properly aligned in the first place, your initial gains are all you get and you will plateu very quickly.
>diet is just as easy, just eat some protein and avoid fast food, candy and soda
You need fiber, avoiding fast food is hard if you can't cook for yourself.
>you don't need a gym subscription to achieve a decent physique, you can get a good workout even with a pair of dumbbells from home
That and elastic bands.
>mires become so common they don't even register anymore
Not really, it's all in your head.
>people notice you lift even under winter clothes
No.
>1/2/3/4 makes you stronger than mostly anyone you'll come across in your daily life
Even mild exercise does that.
>once you see results you won't even think about skipping the gym
You will stop seeing results very quickly unless doing things with perfect form.
I'm sure your spine is perfectly straight when you're bent over by your boyfriend Darnell you homosexual
Tiniest balls in all of IST, and that's an accomplishment for sure
>serious physical preparation
I guess it depends on your definition of sedentary, but for the vast majority of people it just takes a little common sense and a slow start. That’s the beauty of lifting. You start at zero and work up at whatever rate works for you. Nobody is injuring themselves with five pound lifts, who wasn’t already severely ill.
>Most sedentary people need serious physical preparation, professional physiotherapy to train without certainty of injury and pain.
Old women lift from day one. You have a serious mental pathology.
You honestly think old people's lifting is anything like a real workout?
I have the muscle defits of an 85 year old cardiovascular patient and basically live like an athlete.
Up from 42 to 47 kgs in a year.
Most of the problems with sedentary can be corrected independently, all you need high rep calisthenics with easier leverages.
Also it pretty easy to diagnose problem in your own body just pay attention to weakness pain or where you were injured in the past.
I did your mom. That was pretty scary.
We’re all gonna make it sisters! We WILL be passing in 2024 :3
