A change of pace - also, Meta Thread
Hey, /fit/izens of 8chan! I have recently been reassigned this board after the previous owner left, I thank him and all the anons who have posted here previously kindly for their time and effortposts.
Use this thread as a general Meta Thread for the board as a whole. Additionally, these are the rules that I will be enforcing:
0. Global Rules are enforced by default
1. No Spamming
2. No CP or suggestive pictures of minors that can be reliably defined as "real children"
3. No threats of violence towards living people
4. No doxing of anyone
5. Please, limit off-topic discussions to the Protein Shake Bar thread. I won't go after you for not being on topic 24/7, but I will warn you if a thread is being slid too far into one direction or other (i.e. political arguments derailing meaningful Fitness discussions)
6. I have yet to decide if I want the board to be SFW or not, nonetheless you can post any kind of material you want so long as you spoiler full nudity, guro and grave injuries.
That being said, please, have fun using the board!

working out while on the computer
working out while giving a PowerPoint presentation
this thread will be about trying to find all those ways to get big in common situations.

/fit/ newfag advice thread
Alright /fit/ so I have been hitting the Gym lately as a step up from working out at home for a few months (started hitting it last week) and I am completely wrecked after working all round over five days (only like an hour session a day, with one day a week off is my plan).
My friend did say I'd be wrecked but I am not recovering as fast as I thought I would. Mainly its my shoulders, triceps and chest that are pretty bad. I have been trying to follow the 1g of protein for a pound of body weight rule in the last two days or so, trying to maximize my protein intake in the last week but I may be missing a few things.
So /fit/ what do? I mean I get take a fuck ton of protein but how the hell can I recover asap?

Weird question
'm the type of guy who likes to cleanse out his past before moving on to have a sense of closure, so I began taking a shit every morning and only the morning for a new day, I'd hold it in however long I'd need to then shit the next day fairly quick within the time frame of an hour or so.
Now, the problem is these days I need to eat something first and wait up to 3 hours to finally get it all out. It steals a lot of time and I'm sick of it.
So to put it bluntly how do I make myself shit every morning. I need to brutal expunge out my intestines fully before I start the day and do it quickly, I can't stress enough how important this is.
Are there any natural laxatives? The only one's that work are fast food but I can't buy fast food every day besides, it's unhealthy. Is it worth taking the risk and trying out non natural one's that can have side effects?

Want to start lifting weights
I have a Weiider machine from baaaaack in the day that I used to use. But then I nearly killed a nigger and went to prison instead of university. Long story but it was a must. In prison there were no weights or anything really so I just did pushups and this and that using my own body weight (forgot the name for that) pretty much so I wouldn't become sick.
Can I make gains with this thing? I'm seeking good health not any great appearance. Or do I need free weights? If so, what should I buy? I was thinking I'd like a chin up bar.
Alright, thank you.

Personally I stopped using warm water in my showers, all my showers have been 100% cold for the last 3 months. I've had a huge uptick in energy levels since I started doing this, and I also feel more solid, like my body has become more dense. The reason I decided to do this is related to an observation I made a few years ago. I was visiting family and had my cat with me, and even though it was the beginning of winter, he had to stay in a shed outside because of their dog. Now, he was normally 7.5 pounds, but after a few weeks in that shed, he was 14 pounds. The reason I weighed him was because he was noticeably bigger, and suddenly had muscle definition, it blew my mind that he just about doubled his weight. Interestingly, he went right back to his old weight after he started living inside again. It reminded me of something called "Bergmann’s rule" which is basically an observation that species adapted to cold environments tend to be bigger. Anyway, a couple years later I learned about Wim Hof, which really activated my almonds about a few things, not least of which was my cat turning into a chad in the cold. It might be worth noting that he was unfixed. I think if I keep my cold showers up over the winter I'll see some real progress.
Otherwise, I'm on day 7 nofap (29 days is my personal best), and today is day one of a 7 day "mind fast". I won't be playing any games, watching TV, reading anything other than the Bible, or using the internet (with the exception of /fit/, my email and 4 astrology sites, I've already got my tabs up and they won't be changing them for that time). I'm just going to focus on training and meditation.

You haven't been touching that soda now, are you? Drink your water, now!
Keep your posture straight, keep straightening your back every few minutes because you keep slouching forward. Most importantly get up every half an hour, take a walk, stretch your butt and look outside to unfuck your eyes.
Stop ordering crap everyday and make your own meals. Cooking good food is easy and cheap. See pic related, that's the basic foods you need to be healthy. There are many more techniques like keto and shit that you probably don't even need to be healthy. And keep that calories in check.

Artificial sweeteners: hunger and insulin resistance
Are artificial sweeteners bad for your health?
And to be more concise, by that I don't mean stuff like Aspartame being bad for teeth, I mean endocrinology bad
Personally, I frecuently take coffee, and sometimes soda, before or immediately after a workout.
One of the main points of the detractors of artificial sweeteners is that they raise hunger levels and fools your body into expecting a rush of insulin which may lead to Diabetes type 2.
TL;DR: Do artificial sweeteners raise hunger levels and increase insulin resistance potentially leading to Diabetes?

Help me plan my exercise routine
So, long story short, I want some advice on planning my exercise routine on Wii Fit U. Pretty much what I have been doing is spending the first hour, every morning doing 10 minutes of "aerobics" (Usually playing a regular Wii game that requires motion controls), then 20-30 minutes of actual exercising (In Wii Fit U), then another 10-20 minutes of "aerobics" (Again, in a regular Wii game). Reason I've followed this routine is because one of the fitness instructors at the gym I used to go to recommended it as the "best" way to get a workout. Another thing they recommended is that I don't do the same exercises every day, otherwise my body starts building an endurance against those specific exercises. So, the routine I've been following for the past few months is just selecting randoms exercises in WFU, five days a week, with Satudays spent going hiking/jogging for an hour (Plan on increasing that time as the days get warmer). Outside of that, I currently work at a fabrication facility, so I spend most of my days walking and lifting (Though, it looks like I'll be let go within the next few weeks).
<So, here is my dilemma, what exercises routines would be best recommended in order for me to receive the most benefits?
As far as my body's circumstance, I'm currently 5'11", average around 205 lbs. The only real "goal" that I have is that I want to reduce my waist size. Outside of that, I just want to build up the rest of my body, especially when it feels like I spend too much time building up my legs because of everything else I do (Apparently I average around 8000-10,000 steps each day).
Also, I only have the chance to set up two routines because the first slot is already filled with activities that do not require the Fit board because, in the past, it seems to become very finicky whenever I change the batteries and it refused to connect or turn on. So, what are your recommendations?

Calisthenics
Is it possible to obtain a strong build with merely calisthenics. I've been doing it a year or two and I've gotten a lot buffer and lost a lot of weight, I used to weigh over 14 stone now I'm in the 10 stone region. What I want to know is if I can build my muscles using just calisthenics so I don't have to use any money on buying impractical weights and not waste any money going to the gym. Better to use just your body than things that are completely unnatural imo.
