I do it for her
Escaping wagecuckery, surgeries, and being able to train my body for hours a day the way I used to.
To be left alone. To never have to talk to anyone again. To just live in a box with my weights. To never have to worry about food and shelter.
FUCK this country. What I want is freedom. REAL freedom. Not a "well at least you're free 2 days a week" bullshit. Fuck the "american dream". I want to live my dream.
what do you train?
Well long story short, god is a bitch.
At age 12, I would do 100 pushups in 1 minute and 20 seconds without stopping. At age 16.5, I used to do 17k pushups with 45lb in a month, 51k situps in a month, curl a 20lb dumbbell 1,800 times per arm in one single set, almost maxed the machines I used for 2 yrs (ages 15-16), curl 50lb dumbbells, hand stand pushups, Etc. That's just a brief summary. I basically did one of everything. Trained 2-3 hrs everyday for 4.5 yrs from age 12-16.5.
As for the weights in the machines that I used, I couldn't tell you. I put pins randomly. I tried to put it in the heaviest I could handle, but never looked at the amount. The fitness room in my highschool also had pins for bench presses. I had my own bench press too with not much weights (maybe about 200lb. Nothing really).
I was planning on doubling my routine and doubling of that and doubling THAT, but it hit me I wasn't going to grow anymore and it completely destroyed me to oblivion at age 16.5. Now I'm 24.
I trained EVERY part I could. I did yoga too. Etc. Training was literally what defined me. So why did I stop? Because my final height was 5'5". That messed up everything. Schooling, jobs, mental health, etc.
Now I need 40k to get surgeries to make me 5'9" (5'10" was my dream height).
I have been suicidal for about 7.5ish years over my height.
This + wagecucking makes me want to end it.
This is a weird larp... You trained everything? You only did machines? 17k pushups? 5'5'?
>BASED
>Oh nvm
I realize this is just an advanced form of manlet shit posting but I just want to highlight that as badass as those workout stats are, if someone were actually hammering their body that hard at 16 then they stunted their own growth by overworking muscle groups.
Real advice: Before 20 the only thing you should be touching are 20-30 pound dumbells as required and cardio of your choice. Ignore anyone who calls you a bitch, you'll win the long game.
Not larp. I have 4205 notes on my phone alone (last phone had the notes deleted so I have even more). About 90ish percent of them are about my height and training regime. I was beyond obsessed. I would go as far as to say I was the most obsessed to have ever lived. I lost my will power though due to emasculation.
And obviously not only machines?? Pushups and situps aren't me using a machine lol. 17k in a month. MONTH.
I was doing like 1k in the low 40 min mark in sets. Once I did 3 consecutive sets of 100 pushups in 1 minute and 20 sec with 45lb. 4 min and 20 seconds total for 300 pushups (10 second break in between sets). Again, as a 16 yr old. Imagine if I had never stopped?
I've spent more time being suicidal (7.5ish years) than training (4.5 years). I already lost in life. Even with my surgeries, this faggot god already won. I am broken.
>if someone were actually hammering their body that hard at 16 then they stunted their own growth by overworking muscle groups
Nope. I just have shit genetics. Everyone in my family are midgets.
"Overtraining" won't just magically stunt 20 inches to your height. It may stunt a little, but why should I believe I stunted say 5 inches? Why should I believe I even stunted 1 inch? It's mainly genetic and my genetics are dogshit.
I've also been this height since about age 12-13. That stunted my mental growth and turned me into a man-child. I legit feel like I'm a 12 year old boy with this body. It fucked up my head. This is real PTSD
Henry Cejudo is an Olympic world champ+Belt holder in two divisions of the UFC and he is 5'4. These limitations you decided to put on yourself are the reason you are a failure. Not your height.
>To be left alone. To never have to talk to anyone again. To just live in a box with my weights. To never have to worry about food and shelter.
This me lol
Halfway there with a remote job but it would be nice if I didn't need it.
The worst part is that you have a self realization of your body dysphoria and still foucse on it instill of doing soemthing with your life. "
If you got this leg extension surgery you will never train the same again. You will barely be able to walk straight anymore because of how invasive the procedure is. Even after recovery your legs will never be anywhere as strong as if someone who hasent gotten the legs broken in 4 spots. You need new life goals and you need to stop this autistic obsession with your height. I promise noone cares even 1% as much as you do.
Dumb logic. That's like the expression "if someone jumps off a bridge, will you do it too"?
Just because someone accepts being a deformed midget doesn't mean I should. Fuck that bullshit. I'm BETTER than some MIDGET. I am ABOVE this. I deserve the perfect body, not some childish deformed piece of garbage.
I stopped going to the gym because i was lazy, obviously at the time i didn't justify it like that, i reasoned that i had a large penis and was average in height and normal of weight - so i shouldn't go..
you had all these manlets in the gym, the same guys that would be there every day, pumping with masks on, looking at their ripped bodies in the mirror, meanwhile i was a head taller than them.
There was an aura of sadness to it, you just knew that these guys where only there to compensate for their height, and it dawned on me that the few guys that was tall or average of height also, they probably also had self-esteem problem - most likely it would stem from a small penis.
So if i continued to work out, people would automatically assume that my penis was small, because they could see i was not a manlet, so why would i have the need to be "ripped"?
So I can play vidya all day and eat junkfood. What else?
Really makes you think.
I used to want money to have a life, now I mainly just want to die
>I promise noone cares even 1% as much as you do.
That's the thibg though. I don't care how others see me. I have my own expectations. I don't even like people.
>you will never train the same again
That's fine. I could still bench press, do pushups, situps, etc.
Not every workout requires you to put a lot of pressure on your legs. I can probably still do squats and shit like that. Worst case scenario, I can't put extremely heavy weights on my legs after the surgeries. It's either surgeries or suicide anyways. LITERALLY the only thing keeping me going are those surgeries.
>LOTR is a boomer meme
Fuck off neet
Look up AlphaDestiny on Youtube, he's the same height. That guy isn't depressed. If he isn't, you don't have to be.
>There was an aura of sadness to it, you just knew that these guys where only there to compensate for their height
Yes. I find it pathetic. That's why I am the all in kind of guy. Either I get perfection or I don't. No "inbetween" crap.
Yes, they are coping. It really disgusts me.
I truly hope this is some sort of troll or joke because if it isnt your deeply disturbed and need help. This is almost as stupid as me wanting to change my eye color and the only way i can is through surgery and the surgery has a high chance of leaving me blind for the rest of my life.
>I stopped cause Im lazy
>long cope essay
To buy a home and have £30,000 - £40,000 in passive income a year so that I no longer have to work at all.
Grew up poor, earning good money in finance but my lifestyle costs exactly the same now as it did when I was a student. I have very modest goals.
Back up is to have enough passive income to only need to do contract work for a few months a year
do you remember the times where you came back from school and could do whatever you wanted? just like I want as much free time as possible so I can escape the meat grinder that is society.I dont really want a gf nor pretend that Im better than somebody else.I want a care free live with as little responsibility as possible so I can do what I really want .Im convinced that the 10% see us as nothing but live stock.
Well it's not. Here's proof (pic)
>and it dawned on me that the few guys that was tall or average of height also, they probably also had self-esteem problem -
>So if i continued to work out, people would automatically assume that my penis was small,
Absolutely fucking based. I go to the gym and do heavy compounds and all that shit but I don't delude myself that this will make someone love me. In fact after some time I just realized how fucking stupid the whole thing is. It's 500% better to do literally any sport (martial arts included) because at least you'll meet people there which CAN actually cure your social problems on top of maintaining your health.
Currently the only reason I haven't ditched my gym is because it's a nice one with pool and all that stuff and I can already meet people there (I'm a loner trying to integrate into society). If it were a regular gym with nothing but autists lifting heavy weights with earbuds on I'd have changed it by a martial arts gym or literally anything that won't make me more autistic.
What you're seeing there is people beating around the bush waiting for their personal problems to solve by themselves.
Me too bruv
to everything you just said.
Hope you make it
