In light of everything going in the world regarding black society i'm going broach this subject to the best of my abilities because i feel like this doesn't get discussed enough and that black people, especially black men currently lack the proactivity needed for survival. So with out further ado let's get into it.

Alot of black men talk sh*t about black women being obese which is valid... But brothas we are very much in the same boat which is obviously a yacht because what else could hold our fat asses. i walk out my door and see my fellow black men and quite frankly i'm disappointed. A lot of brothas are either fat af, embarrassingly stick bony or some weirdo combination of fat and skinny. This is unacceptable, particularly for black men for whom physical fitness has been a historical trademark.



Black men are the leaders in mortality in the United States with heart disease, diabetes, stroke & prostate cancer being the primary culprit all of which are linked to unhealthy living and personal negligence. You're honesty not living your life to the fullest if your not operating at optimum performance and it's impossible to be at peak performance when you're out of shape. Not only does being overweight have a bodily impact but a mental one as well. The brain is 75% water so lack of water intake has a direct impact on cognitive function.

Also there are studies that link obesity with decreased memory recall and greater risk of depression. Poor physical health impedes your cognitive and physical performance, which hinders your ability to utilize those things to make a living for yourself, which in turn limits your ability to afford food, shelter, weaponry and other things integral for survival and that brings me to my next point.



Being out of shape makes you a target. The recent attacks on black people have highlighted the fact that black men to a certain extent are not feared as warriors anymore and as such other races have become embolden and have gone on the assault. While black men are busy sippin lean or stuffing their face full of bullsh*t these krakkas are hitting the gym and taking up martial arts with the sole purpose of dominating your black ass.

In the last week i've come across multiple white men in comment sections concerning the Michael Drekja shooting and the Oakland stabbings boldly proclaiming that they've been planning for a race war for the past decade, pretty much daring us to do something. When i was young krakkas weren't anywhere near as bold as they are now obviously black men are slippin and desperately need to regain our footing. So i say to you black man are just going to be a sitting duck or are you going fight to survive and if your answer is the latter that starts with conditioning yourself physically and mentally. Nutrition and Exercise are going to be your trump cards.



Now to Tackle the subject of women. Humans are visual creatures and women are no exception anyone who says women don't care about looks is simply in denile. With that being said if you don't present yourself in a appealing manner don't be suprised when they exclude you as a possible mate. You can't let yourself go and then have the gall to turn around and complain about women not liking you, especially considering when people ask about the women that you like you don't cite equally outta shape women instead you bring up a bunch of Instagram chicks who either eat healthy and spend a significant portion of their time in the gym or who've been sliced & and diced into what you see before your eyes.

Either way those women are out of your league yet you take personal offense to them excluding you from their dating pool even going as far as to frame such as her simply having a "No Nikkas Policy". Let me tell you something in 2018 you'll be hard pressed to find woman of any race that whole sale excludes black men solely on the grounds of being black from their dating pool matter of fact many attractive women are actively seeking brothas. It's your stomach that hangs over your belt or the fact you look so skinny and frail it seems a slight breeze could send you flying into the nearest building that causes them to shutter away from you not your race if anything that's a plus.



As i've stated before black people have have the absolute best genes but we have the worst habits. White and other non black men are constantly talking about how stick bony or grossly overweight black men step into the gym and immediately lose fat and gain muscle in a fraction of the time it would've taken them to do so and also marveling at the fact that these brothas were largely doing this without any of the supplements and foreign chemicals that would've been necessary for them to achieve such a transformation. A healthy lifestyle seems benefit us more than anyone so why shun it?

Black men have gifts that other men would kill for so seeing brothas not make use of these talents is especially disheartening. Scarfing down Dave's Double's and chilli cheese coneys from Sonic isn't conducive to survival nor is undereating and substituting food with drugs. Brothas make as change our women need us, our children need us and quite frankly this planet needs us.

Rise to the occasion Black Man.
This was really corny. All those paragraphs for nothing breh. All anypone needs is a proper diet (fruits and vegetables, fish (or chicken), healthy fats (nuts and avocadoes etc.), and whole grains. Also, avoid spending most of your time sitting down (take the stairs, bike to work etc.). Doing cardio everyday is important. You really only need to lift weights twice a week.

Try to limit red meat to just once a week

Do cardio for at the very least 15 mins at least 3 times a week

Lift weights 3 times a week at least

Get at least 6 hours of sleep

Lay off the drugs and alcohol

Eat more fruits and vegetables

Learn a fighting style
its doesn't even take a lot of time to stay in shape. you can spend 45 minutes in the gym (actually working out tho) 3-5 times a week and be good.
People spend hours a day scrolling through social media no problem though.
out of shape people are annoying to be around

Its like y'all don't realize that going on a diet is expensive...I can't really afford it nor a gym membership.
Complete bs. I've been working out at home for like 1 year now, because I'm not trying deal with my gym parking lot. My membership prepaid until next april.

I don't spend much on food either. Mainly because I'm a minimalist. There's plenty of tools out there man. Take control of your life and #HYON

Cosign OP:wow:

At the beginning of this yr I was 5'11 261 lbs. built like Gucci Mane before jail

I'm now 203 and still chubby, although it's only at a Kyle Lowry level now lol:ahh:

I sprint on the track 2x a week, walk as much as possible, cut down on my fast food/soda intake & I lift weights 3x a week, although I think I've been doing excess cardio at times so my muscle/strength increase has been minimal. I average 18-21,000 steps a day

When I get to my goal weight (170) I'm going to hit the weights more seriously, my goal is NFL running back-esque:win:

Salute to all the brehs trying to make a change, anything is possible :salute:
If you want to look like an athlete you got to train like one.
One YouTube channel I highly recommend is Athlean-X. He is a physical therapist and trainer to athletes

Gotta take care of our health in general.

All of us - men, women, kids...

Stop drinking pop/soda, stop eating greasy shyt, exercise, stop with the alcohol...
Yea

As a vain gym bigorexia breh, IMO you don't need to be in the gym looking to get cut and swole. Just be healthy. You should be able to run & swim for a decent distance. All your bloodwork should be good. As much as we shyt on BMI, for people outside the gym... hell, for people in the gym.... it's a pretty good barometer of healthy weight. And if you aren't focused on getting cut and swole you can pursue exercise in any way you want. Hooping, soccer, rock climbing, mountain biking :troll:

As for war with WSs, only way forward with that is to tool up legally and train. AND STICK TOGETHER. You read this forum, there are nikkas who wake up in the morning and look forward to doing nothing else but branding other black people all kinds of pejoratives. We just had a thread full of brehs CELEBRATING a black woman dying at the hands of a white man. You know what, maybe fukk that stick together shyt. Just look out for your family. Because when shyt goes down you never know when or why another nikka will turn his back on you. "Wait, you crossed the street next to a white person? c00n! c00n!" :camby:

Get blood work done, it'll help tremendously and give you a reference point.

Just did mine, all good for the most part and I'm making corrections to fill in deficiency or fix food allergies.

Donated blood shortly after, it'll also help fix certain issues, make new blood and cut the risk of heart attacks.

I recently got destroyed during a race with my 42 year old uncle. I’m in my early 20s
:mjcry:

I don’t care what women think but I need to do better to defend myself and look better just for own happiness. As a young black man, I should be at peak health
