As long as you only listen to personal advice, yes. But there's so much pseudo science being spewed around the internet, especially within the fitness community that it's a jungle and will most liekly mislead you.
Læs fx denne fra videnskab.dk - grundlæggende er vægttab: "forbrændt energi > indtaget energi" i et givent tidsrum (24 timer). Spis sundt og varieret, dyrk motion hver dag, drop fødevarer med højt sukkerindhold (kulhydrat); intet behov for tilskud og alt det lort folk forsøge at sælge.

Thanks. As silly as it sounds, doing pull-ups has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager 
Not that I did anything to achieve it, I sucked so hard at it that I never really bothered. I started with the assisted machine a couple of months ago (@ALC the widest grip, don't know if it was a good idea but it was what I wanted to be able to do), and gradually made it more difficult for myself. Still can't do an unassisted one though. I'm extremely patient but I was wondering if working with the machine is useful at all.

I had the same dream as you (kek), and I couldn't even do one pull up or chin up. Losing fat and greasing the groove helped a lot.

Get on a 500 calorie deficit/day and train for strength.
Bitches will be hugging your dick in no time.
So... some pretty shitty news here.
Was doing a relay at the Belfast Marathon on Monday. Ran my 7.5 miles. Was an easy run never pushed too hard stayed at a comfortable pace the whole race and felt completely fine after. About 2 hours after the race I suffered a heart attack. Luckily got to hospital very fast and no permenant damage was done. Have had one stent put in an artery.
I’m 29 and was in the best shape of my life had been training really well boxing playing football and getting in and 10 miles a week running. Just very confused and annoyed about why it happend haven’t had any clear answers as to why it did.
Just thought I’d share as I consider this forum part of my extended family. Determined to get back training again at a good level and was able to watch the game lastnight so I’m feeling pretty good, very motivated. Just looking for answers and info to help me on my recovery.

Thanks dude. Just received some good news. Echo scan and blood results came back great. Zero permanent damage was done to my heart. Very llucky I’m young, in good shape and received help very fast.
I can’t box competitively again as il be on blood thinners for life but I hope to run a leg in the marathon again will be a great comeback story.

You are lucky in one way, some people don't come back from such things. Look at the guy from the cooking show who died attempting the London marathon recently. It's often genetics and we don't know until we push ourselves that hard. It's scary stuff really.
At least you now know you have limitations and will need monitoring, get good advice and information from professionals. Best of luck.

That's quite contrary to what I have seen though. I have even seen a couple of visibly overweight guys who do pull-ups so easily it's amazing. No exercise fascinates me as much

Weight training, yes. I started ~8 months ago and I love it. I don't remember the last habit I formed and didn't get bored or demotivated for as long a time.

I'm sorry to hear that, man but at least you're not fucked for life.
We'll be waiting for that great comeback story
Glad you're all good man @Stevie i never thought you needed that much cardio to be healthy, tbh i always discourage my friends from going over 10-15 minutes over 130 bpm. The good news is you don't need that much cardio to look and feel great. Bummer about the boxing but that too is not too safe anyways.
I've a question in case someone has an idea or has seen a solution
To improve my weak legs and upper back, i've added hex bar deadlifts in my schedule. However, with 6 plates a side the thing is completely full, i in fact need bands to keep the outer plats on cause they are only half on the sleeve.
I'm looking for a way to add another plate. But not with ducktape, cause that is filthy and leaves adhesive on the plates.
Any idea's are greatly appreciated
