Black Men Need To Hit The Gym Pronto

[Iceson Beckford]

Yea I looked at the gracie barra instagram and website for like 2months before I joined. Then my coworker joined before me and was on some
"You signing up "

But I'm glad I did..because I had social anxiety bad because I never really got into a fight before...and I didn't want to date women if didn't know how to defend myself or her.

After I get a job I'm gonna take the bjj and muay thai so I can learn kicking

I'm not a bully and most of the time no one fukks with me but once in a while it will be some clown who be acting like they wanna punk me.

Yeah breh I’m having that same issue, don’t feel completely safe in that regard.

I went on holiday and realised most my friends would give me them hands

I’m waiting to get another job so I can get back in the gym and learn some self defense.

Getting into cardio is the best thing that happened to me

I just need to start weight training
(Push ups is what I’ve been doing now)

Be a little more disciplined


Cardio has helped my sex life and dress game
Pushups make my shoulders look nice
All my clothes look nice when they are fitted
I look better now in new than large to show of my physique


Also drink lots of water

I’m 32 but every girl I run across think I’m in my 20s

What kind of cardio u do?

That doesn't surprise me lol but the info found in the videos are still valid.

I watched the guy in the car one. Dude was preaching how he was defying his genetic limitations.. (code word for steroids)..

He's misinforming his viewers that they can get that big and ripped by being natural and eating like he does.

Also supplements are the biggest scam in the fitness industry.

Wats the point of working out if i have boobs that will never go away

Stop eating so much soy, chest workout twice a week and begin cutting weight.. there's no excuse

Black Men over 30 like I am , always need to stay in shape..

I don't Care if u walk 30 minutes a day 4 or 5 times a week

Lay off that fast food greasy pizza, burgers, et...

I know it's hard with many brothers and sisters living in the hood....

Most importantly go to the doctor every year

This.. don't underestimate simply walking. Do that plus switch up your diet (dont forget to chill out on the sugar) AND DRINK WATER. You will feel a lot better.

Is it just me or are the newer generations of black boys quite short or very skinny or a combo of both?? So many teenage black boys are scrawny as hell and many late teens-early 20s are looking me in the eye and I'm only 5'5.

I read a thread this morning where alot of bruthaz were expressing their love for liquid heroin aka. "Lean"

They want us walking around like zombies and not the natural warriors that we are, which is why they market and glorify such a destructive and unhealthy lifestyle as "cool"

Good thread OP

 

[Saint Denson]

Btw this is a health thread...I thought OP was gonna talk about hitting the gym to deal with this onslaught of cacs getting bold.

I agree..diet is a big thing too.

I can cut out the sugary drinks no problem..its the carb where I fail ..but I been losing weight with intermittent fasting...was 202 a month and half ago and now I'm 186

I did albeit fairly briefly but like you stated you don't want to be up against some bytch ass cac who's embolden because he's taken 8 months of Muay Thai without any combat skill set of your own. At one point black men made up a large portion of martial artists in the US and needless to say we need rediscover our enthusiasm for skilled close range combat and start aquiring skill sets and not with the purpose of fighting each other it's sad i have to say that but i know how hostile black men are towards each other. These cacs are bold and need to be taken down several pegs and quite frankly we're the only ones that can do so.

it's not that big of a deal

Also limit chocolate intake which tends to have soy lechin as a ingredient. also there are chest workouts .

I was never too big, but when I broke my ankle and laid up for 4 months popping pills and eating shyt, I put on 100 pounds

Man, my health was fukked up...obese, couldn't sleep, close to having diabetes, and tired all the time..

Once I was able to get on my feet, I cut out chips, soda, cookies, fries and fried chicken...those was my biggest weaknesses.

I always worked out, but that weight fukked me up...so I started back slowly walking 1 mile 3 times a week...then I moved to 2 miles...then today I'm back on my 3 miles walking and jogging 3 times a week...running or jogging in place for 20 minutes( not all in one setting, but split it up) really helps...then I do dumbbell curls and lifting...

I loss that 100 pounds in about 7 months..

I'm back at being 6'4 245....now I want to lose another 20 pounds

I eat a ton of Apple's, oranges, bananas, grilled chicken and home cooked meals

Brehs don't make eye contact nowadays

It's little shyt like that ...when you hit the gym,take up a martial art you make eye contact, and feel good.

I was once a nervous breh who didn't make eye contact...that leads to certain men thinking they can try to test you.

As one of the people you described I say no.

I’m short and skinny but most of my friends and peers are are the similiar sizes as before

Might be based on location though.

This is my primary problem, i fu*king love soda .A few months ago i tried to drink a gallon of water a day and almost went a week without sleep because my bathroom trips were so frequent. i'm going to give another try by starting with half a gallon a day and working my way up

Try flavored selzer. I had a huge issue with soda, I barely drink the shyt now.
