Now I kinda feel bad for the snappy reply to the dude that called Sean fat in that thread with him posting that he's a social weirdo and all
but still no one calls a fellow fit gaffer fat......

As with any max lift it's not pretty but it's now recorded history!

Awesome stuff!!! If this is ugly, then I would count it as "Charlize Theron in Monster" ugly. Looks busted as hell at first, then you realize it's a great performance.

So I am wanting to join the gym and get in shape (I'm not stupidly fat) but I have a bit of a gut I want gone.
Problem I have is I am absolutley abysmal at knowing what type of diet I should be eating/portion sizes, I mean totally useless.
The exercise will take care of itself but what guides/recommended foods can I eat? What about snacks throughout the day when I'm hungry?
I'm not lookind for nutri bullets etc, I just want some good recommendations for things to have which will get me over being hungry.
So anyone have anything I can look at/start doing?
Thanks,
I've not weighed myself but I am around 15st and 6ft 2" tall.

There's a nutrition thread that can get you started: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=869633
I also like the nutrition section of Simple Science Fitness: http://simplesciencefitness.com/

Hope that's at lean as he gets tho. I prefer his Game of Thrones body a bit more.

Brill thanks.
Thanks - besides the exaggerated motion does the rest look fine? I feel like my way back up looks awkward/off, but not sure if I'm just being hard on myself or if something's wrong with it.
Your boy had your back. Guy was being a dick.
EDIT: And now he's asking for my workout routine. The correct reply is to send him over here so we can help but I'm hesitant after his comment to you.

I couldn't get 160x5 on OHP. Isn't it crazy how a bad day at the gym can ruin the rest of the day?

Well this is essentially why I made videos, to make sure I wasn't going down the wrong path with my form before things got heavier.
I'll admit that eventually I started skimming the book since it's pretty hefty, but I'm thinking I may go back to reading it indepth, probably focusing on one exercise at a time. It is nice to have a video recommendation too, I used a few for a bit of reference but perhaps I should watch them more often, and possibly compare my own videos to what they show side-by-side.
This also means that I'll probably need to figure out a decent way to mount my phonefor days I'm mostly alone (I often workout during the gym's afterhours, and even when it's during staff hours they're often handling business or helping other members with consultation.
Anyways, I'll make sure to take this as an eye opener and work to improve. I appreciate the critic.

I was about to slap some people in that thread. Not only misinformed, but just flat out rude.
You're great dude. You've come so far and made so much progress, keep at it man.
He looks like Zangief
Unless it's towards Brolic, but then he'll just laugh it off between tossing dead bodies and eating McD's.
Yeah, I had to take a look at that guy. I'm going to remember him for future reference.
Hey guys, went to my first meet this past saturday with my little brother. I ended with a total of 1129 which was the best of the 3 lifters in the 93 kg weight class and had the 4th highest total overall. If you want to check out the video of our lifts you can here:

Hopefully hitting a 500 lb deadlift in the next couple months.

Dude, you've made amazing progress since highschool and you should be damn proud of what you've obtained. Jealously was playing a big part in that thread as I was reading the posts. People just want to make excuses for themselves and belittle those who have actually put in the effort to improve themselves.
Don't let the haters get ya down.
The specific post is #259.
Rest up, eat and get back to the bar. There isn't much to it. Failing at lifts is normal, done it more times then I can count.

Damn dude.
I really need to get involved in these threads again. Saw Sean, Cooter, and Szu in the Marvel thread and it reminded me of this. Been going through some stuff the past few months that limited my ability to work out consistently and I've lost a deal of strength but I'm working back up.
Still doing 5/3/1, but thinking about adding in some HIIT and cardio in there as well. Diet is pretty solid, but I need something to get me over the hump if my goal is aesthetics and then strength. So far lately have done some sprints on the exercise bike and some burpees. Hate burpees.
I read the thread and I decided not to participate, way too much ignorance and assholery.
so because we don't want to look like Justin Bieber or Bard Pitt in fight club we fail and have been wasting our time?
*rolleyes to the moon and back
getting visible abs is so fucking easy if you have been consistently working out for at least half a year and eat well just ONE DAMN MONTH,
it pisses me off that whenever I tell people about my desire to aquire mass I am met with weird looks like "wat? but everybody wants to lean out! you need a psychiatrist for dat body dismorphia". Fucking judgmental morons.
Don't forget about the subset of people who think people with muscles are gross and have no problem repeating it over and over.
I stay out of most of those threads these days. You guys have some great progress pics to show for inspiration. The unimpressed are a vocal minority, if they are even unimpressed to begin with. It's like the guy who consistently tells you that they don't care what other people think. They repeat it as a way of reinforcing an idea that isn't there - those are precisely the people who care what others think of them.

Why not? Embrace the fatness.
Lol. Kept scrolling snd saw this. Spot on. I don't give a single shit. Those people are idiots. It's funny because those who lift or usually have ever stepped foot in a gym know better and respect the look, and especially the strength.
Oddly enough as I've said before, this is even more evident at work for me. Inmates and staff both always comment.
Its the age old thing where people feel free to tell you how gross muscle looks without accepting responsibility for what they say. But if you turn the coin and tell a fat person that you think fat is disgusting then you are a monster.
Live this lifestyle long enough and nothing suprises you anymore. Just lift, laugh, love and ignore all the bullshit.

Do you really believe this? I've been lifting for nearly 3 years, dieting for nearly 2, and I still have no 6 pack.

what about a 4 pack
Brolic Gaoler

Thanks guys
It's such a perspective thing. Saying there should be more improvement than that in 3 years when the goal is strength is extremely ignorant. Until you've been under the barbell it's easy to pass judgement.
Wait till you see how you look after running ISSM for a year. Shit, according to my wife and coworkers training strongman is changing my appearance again.

I think he's talking about the super skinny dudes who have a 6 pack but no muscles
for skinny scrawny guys like me it's very very easy.
I used to have some but being a skinny guy with (some) visible abs got old really quickly so I upped my caloric intake and now I am just happy to feel the bumps under the fat in my core. I know that when I cut they'll be there.
what sort of goal do you have? cause if you care for strength, PRs and the like or attaining mass of course you are not going to see abs.
No bro it's still not a numbered pack.
I know that is what he meant, but that's not what it comes across as when you read it with no context. Lots of people out there struggle with fat, should keep things in perspective.
My goal is to lose as much fat and gain as much muscle as possible. Its been over a month, so I've failed by your standards.
doesn't that happen over the course of (many) years?
all fitgaf members I can think of who have both a considerable amount of mass and a good physique (aka: what I bolded in the quote) have been at it for at least 6 years, if not more. (there probably exceptions to this though)

Not entirely true. When I flex and in the right light my top two abs are visible even at my body fat. That's actually pretty common if you have a large core.
Definitely man.
It's like I mentioned Steve said (and he hit the nail on the head imo). So many guys didn't give a shit about aesthetics before YouTube. They ate whatever and trained hard. They chased strength gains.

how do you make sure you don't choke yourself out when doing front squats?
Hey I was in the thread too, jesus.
Yeah I saw that. A guy was saying you looked better small and you got too much muscle now or something. You seemed to put him in his place.
It's amazing how almost everyone was saying that it's hard to impossible to look good without drugs or a ton of money, but when someone is as close as you can be while still being healthy they say that you're not good enough. Most people in that thread were ignorant which is why I never said anything.

I try to jack my head way back, not look up, but push my head back like when you back squat. Its always close to my throat though and I think it always will be.
