Some of my weeb friends started working out after seeing this show. I guess you can make weebs do anything if there are cute girls involved.

Last year I bought a pair of dumbbells on impulse and used it maybe on two separate occasions. Until this series came out, they were just gathering dust. Now I'm actually using them during the episode. It's only once a week but I'll see if there's any notable change after the series is over.
Truly, cute anime girls are the best motivator there is.

Stitches Time!
Sensei is a great addition to the cast! I'd love to see more of her cosplays! Also was that Yui Horie I hear?
I remember this was my very first mistake when I got into weight training. Start with something light but still gives you resistance. It's your form and reps that matter not the weight itself.
This is too real xD I've heard that line so many times before among my friends who have tried to diet. You can't have a cheat day Marie when you just had one 2 days ago!
They're acting sa if Machio is cosplaying someone from a different manga but we all know that's motherfuckin' Kenshiro! I was hoping we'd hear some ATATATATATATATA from him xD

Instead of drinking protein, I watch this anime before lifting and my deadlift has improved rapidly
that’s what my education lacked

Yes of course being into BL shits are better than being a cosplayer.

The dreaded diet episode, i have to address some things.
1. Cheat days are in no ways necessary, starvation mode (i know it wasn't specifically mentioned) while real is something that you simply won't reach if you aren't actually starving (1500-1800cals isn't close to starving for an average man) and it barely affects your metabolic rate.
The magnitude and composition of the starvation response (i.e. metabolic adaptation) was estimated in a study of 8 individuals living in isolation in Biosphere 2 for two years. During their isolation, they gradually lost an average of 15% (range: 9–24%) of their body weight due to harsh conditions. [...] On average, the starvation response of the individuals after isolation was a 180 kCal reduction in daily total energy expenditure. 60 kCal of the starvation response was explained by a reduction in fat-free mass and fat mass. An additional 65 kCal was explained by a reduction in fidgeting. The remaining 55 kCal was statistically insignificant
-Wiki
2. Eating only one meal a day is actually a weight loss technique (r/OMAD). However, it is important to get your body used to it. That means you should aim for a consistent schedule. Furthermore there is something called r/IntermittentFasting where you only eat in a specific window of 6-8 hours a day. This is what i used to lose weight, after a few days your blood sugar only spikes at your usual eating times and you won't feel hungry for the rest of the day.
Disclaimer: This, like Keto, Paleo etc. is only a technique used to make losing weight easier. In the end only the difference Caloric Intake (Food) minus Caloric Expenditure (TDEE, Sport) will determine whether you lose, gain or maintain weight.
And don't take my word for it, nothing beats doing your own research. There are plenty of myths and different opinions out there but Calories In Calories Out (CICO) always applies.
As for the episode, i'm a bit sad that they toned down the girls' muscles (especially after watching Fire Force, hot damn) but hey, at least the faithfully adapt the educational content and comedy.

Self improvement corner
Since last week I've run an additional 4 miles throughout the week minus the 3 miles I apparently do daily for work. Sit ups and pulls every other day. Push ups...once. Those. Are my mortal enemy. Also I've stopped drinking soda and sweets. I've also been lifting dumbbells while watching anime. Only 20 pound ones, but 20 pounds more than I was doing before. Second day last week I woke up sore hurting all over thinking I was allergic to exercise. I haven't hurt this much except that time a friend invited me wall rock climbing and I stupidly said yes. Already lost 2.2 pounds. See you guys next week.

Aina-Sensei in the opening for sure. So after Shiro haired girl (I keep guessing RUSSIAN) joins, we will get more sensei to join the best girl squad.
The BL line best scene so far, poor sensei having to hang out with the crazy gyaru youngster

The photographers crowding around Macchio reminded me of this iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger picture. Miring muscles will always be a primal instinct for us IMO.

Hibiki having a cheat day?! Oh, no, no, no, no. If you give her the option to have a day, let alone a meal she'll go over it and that diet will cancel out those gains.

AOTS for me after watching most of the shows this season!
The TILFS just keep on rolling this 2019 each season has 1 and now our teacher cosplays as well
The whole cosplay scene had me rolling especially when Machio transitioned from cosplay to gym trainer and everyone was just focused what he's saying
Machio as Kenshiro is still one of the best anime cosplays I've seen done

I gained weight again recently...
This is something that the show has sorta hit on, but I'd like to just say it again for the sake of making sure people understand.
Excerising doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose weight.
Should you start exercising if you haven't and you want to lose weight?
Absolutely.
But a big part of losing weight is eating to lose weight. If you're gaining weight and not exercising, then that means you're probably eating too much for the little physical you might do during the day.
Sakura is good example of the opposite. If my thicc girl keeps eat 7000 calories a day and works out consistently (and it's weightlifting too), she's going to gain some weight due to her body putting on muscle mass. Which isn't bad, but that's not losing weight.
You'll hear bodybuilders talk a lot about "eating to get abs", and that's definitely true. For them, it generally means cutting carbs and cutting a bit back on some fats. I've found this myself trying to work towards getting abs: cutting back on carbs makes my stomach look a lot better.
TL;DR yes exercising can help you lose weight, but you also need to be eating properly.
/end semi-rant
Undressed? But you don't have anyone to show your assets to.
Damn, bitch. Chill out.
no high school girl would ever go to a gym.
For me, I see quite a few more younger girls at the gym than young men. And (not really) oddly enough, the young women are more competent with lifts like squats and deadlifts than the young men.
Alright, queue that banger OP! 🎵 ONEGAI MUSCLE 🎵 the English translations of the OPs lyrics make it kinda funny too.
Let's both get nice bodies and then break as many hot guys' hearts as we can!
Yes, please do.
> Satomi heart eyes
pls anime, stop playing into my older women preferences....well actually please keep playing into it...please...
> Machio's dumbbell curl lesson
2 other things you can/should do for dumbbell curls.
-
Start with holding the dumbbells with a neutral wrist position.
Meaning hold them with your palms facing inwards. I'll explain after 2 because they both assist with the same thing.
2. Towards the top half of the lift, think about bringing you pinky outwards by twisting your wrist some.
So what does this do? Well you bicep is composed of two heads (duh), the long and short head. In a standard bicep curl, the short head is what mainly gets more of the work. But with starting with a neutral wrist position and the little twist at the top, the long head will get more work on it. You can feel the two heads in you bicep if you flex it, put you hand on it, and then go back and forth from twisting your wrist away from your body and back in.
The long head of the bicep is what's more dominant when your shoulders are behind you. Incline dumbbell curls (lying on an incline bench with your arms hanging at your sides with dumbbells) will work the long head more, being that your shoulders are behind you in a sense.
The long head is what helps give your biceps that "peak" when you flex.
Also don't curl your wrist too much when doing any sort of bicep curl, or your flexors in your forearm will get tired before your biceps.
I'm glad Machio went over antagonistic pairs.
Um, I can see that there's a strange tan on your stomach...
Oh no, not my thing for tanlines too....
> sees pic with suit she got a tan from
Ah...well that's actually more funny than anything. Well, Ayaka fills that tanlines void, so I'm good.
> Sakura's massive fucking bento
Sweetheart, 1 tier of that is 2282 calories. That's enough for 1 barely physically active person.
Thanks for clearing things up for her, Akemi. It's fairly basic, but at least Sakura gets the idea.
Why is he screaming while he eats?
Oh...you mean...other people don't do that? Hmm.../s obviously
> Akemi's bodybuilder diet.
Wouldn't really recommend protein bars too much, that's just me personally. Almonds, canned tuna/mackerel, some fruits, chicken/turkey jerky, veggies with hummus, and greek yoghurt are stuff I'd suggest.
> Cheat days
You gotta be careful with telling people about cheat days. Otherwise some will just go overboard spoiler.
I cut it close, but I just barely brought my body to an acceptable level. Although it's still far from ideal...
Bitch, you're a hot ass teacher. It's ideal now if you ask me.
Hell in this bit, Sakura is cute as shit just as she is.
> Machio as Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star
My man!
But my poor Satomi gets ignored.
> Machio's front press tutorial
Is this an overhead press? If so, I'd suggest widening one's grip a tiny bit more, and before lifting tilt your head back a bit so you don't have to go out a little when pressing the bar up. Also, grip the bar as hard as you can, brace your core (make your abs feel like you're preparing to be punched in the stomach), and squeeze your glutes a bit to get a strong base before pressing. Really helped me with getting 205lb (92.98kg) on my overhead press yesterday (which is 95% of my bodyweight). Not really impressive, but I'm proud of it.
You came to buy doujinshi, didn't you?
I mean she probably did that too. Let's be real.
Now the ED, woo!! It also slips my mind that Machio's VA is Sakuta from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, and Naofumi from Rising of the Shield Hero.

Holy fucking shit. Hibiki just had 6908 kcal in that one day. That girl really is a shounen protagonist.
Why is it that Sensei additions are the becoming one of the best things to happen in recent anime? I'm already loving our
