First time ever lifting. SwoleBenji ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ ᵃᶜᶜᵒᵘᶰᵗ !3YLBVysZkk 05/14/18 (Mon) 07:59:01 No.137986

Been gaming my entire life. Decided to give up gaming and go 100% into lifting and fitness instead. Would like to be a big scary fucker, but also able to do parkour shit and American Ninja type stuff.

First time at the gym. Browsed leddit and decided to go with some Greyskull variant. Here's what I did for day 1 of the rest of my life:

3/14/18 @ 2am

2x8 Overhead Press @ 45 lb (bar) = 720

1x8 Overhead Press @ 55 lb = 440

Total Press = 1160 lb

2x8 Squat @ 55 = 880 (Cramped out trying to do third set.)

Did 3 "negative" chin-ups. Held for 2-3 seconds each. Pretty bad. Cried out in pain as I attempted. Jumped from the ground and held the center of the power rack. Grabbed where my forehead matched my hands and let down as slow as I could. Probably used too close of a grip.

Walked @ a 5 incline @ 3.5 speed till the default setting (quickstart) said I burned 53 calories. That's like 2 spoons of honey I think.

Scale said 242 lbs. Don't think it's correct. Should be higher. (247 just 4 days ago.)

Trying for 1600 calories / day with 1 cheat day every 7+ days. (Record is 10 days.)

Today was:

4 eggs (320 cal)

2 tortilla (240)

2 handfulls of cheese (200)

2 spoons of butter (200)

1 splotch of sour cream (100)

8 teaspoons of honey (122)

2 oranges (200 est.)

1 chocolate bar (240)

Total: 1622.

Am I gonna make it bros?

All that sugar isn't good for you son, replace with more protein immediately.

Chocolate doesn't necessarily have sugar.

And sugar is good for you. Saying it's bad is like saying breathing oxygen is bad.

Um, no sweetie. Take the keto pill.

Ketogenic diets cause muscle wasting, hypothyroidism, diabetes, cancer, and premature aging. They're also incredibly unnatural and probably no animals eat absurdly low carb diets. Carnivores receive plenty of glucose from fresh blood and glycogen from fresh raw meat. Glucose avoidance is a weird superstitious religion because sugar is a naughty word that triggers autism.

Don't overcomplicate things, and don't try to do too much at once.

If you're aiming to lose weight, by all means lift, but don't be disappointed if you aren't seeing strength gains on a cut.

Your main focus should be on controlling your calorie intake - 1600 per day should see you shedding weight. The trap that you don't want to fall into is to expect too much too soon. You have to see this as a long play. A cheat meal or two is fine, a cheat day is less ideal, but either way preferably don't absolutely stuff your face and instead just allow yourself a treat.

If you can maintain 1lb loss per week, that's really good going. People can do better, but most people can't do fuck all so take what you can get and be proud of it. Anything is better than nothing.

You will make it.

Addendum: if you're struggling to stick to your diet because you're hungry, there are some food swaps you can do. Cut out more of the fat/carbs and replace with protein. It'll keep you feeling more full for longer.

Also stay hydrated. Drink at least 2 litres of water each day and flush your system out.
