Th-this is a dad bod? Fuck it I need to start using steroids.

If you don't OHS you are never going to make it.

>absolute rage and self-loathing
I'm in the hospital bed right now and I've decided I'm gonna make it more than ever. If I give up I'm never going to grow as a person beyond this. Anyone in this thread who thinks they aren't gonna make it, you're probably right and life might just mess up your plans, but there's merit in trying. I'm hoping I'll come through a better, stronger person overall. Wish me luck. We're all gonna make it in our own small ways.

Kinda sad to think that you're right. Everyone here is likely seeking advice to improve themselves. What reason would you have for staying here other than altruism by giving advice?

It feels as though I lived my life through a fog in which the basic milestones for any normal person are absent in my life and only now am I realizing it. I'm still stuck in this fog and I don't know if I'll ever escape it.

It’s insane but it’s true. Whenever I’m getting laid frequently I flat out forget about this place. Always come back whenever I’m alone. I haven’t even made it yet, but from the looks of it, the moment I do, it’s goodbye for good.

Fapped to hentai because c94

Failed all my lifts today.

Lying on my bed naked as I write this.

Quit smoking cold turkey for 6 months but now that I'm home for summer break I picked it up again, just smoked one and threw the rest of the pack out. Smoking feels like shit but god damn is it addicting. I'm making this post just to shame myself into not buying another pack I guess.

How long do you wait until you start over? You can’t lose gains THAT fast, you must have still gone further than the last time even if just a little.

A while back:
>230 lbs
>200 lb max bench
Terrible, but whatever

Decide to lose a few pounds

>218 lbs today
>Bench drops to 3 reps @ 175, FUCK
At least I got 15 reps in at 115 before and after plus 27 reps at miscellaneous weights working up to 175 before the 3 rep set.

Don't do it. Go for a run or train instead.

I've never smoked a cigarette before but I know I'd get addicted to it so easily. I have an oral fixation and used to go through a dozen toothpicks a day, enjoy the smell of second-hand smoke, and can't help but think smoking looks inherently cool.

>tfw if someone offered me a smoke in the right circumstances I'm not sure if I'd say no
Luckily I have no social life.

The thing that shocks me the most is you say you've lifted for 11 YEARS and you are still ottermode.

Alcohol has bloated my belly up so much bros.

I have a great upper body but a fucking beer belly and it sucks. I started going to AA two days ago

You can do it. My mother is an alcoholic and I hate how she can't stop even when she tries. I hope you can beat it at least. Fuck alcoholism so much.

Gonna be a 30 year old boomer in a month and I've never even had a gf and have gyno. Is it over for me lads?

Do you have your own place at least?

Donate to sens to be 20 forever

Yeah I moved out of my parents place for a job recently and rent a small crappy appartment

Then you've fucking made it, bro. The only thing stopping me from attempting to pick up girls is that I'm living with my parents. No way I'm gonna get laid while my Mom is cooking muffins in the kitchen.

About your gyno, just try to pass it off as pec muscle.

I'm trying to get back into lifting but my bf is at around 21-22%. I know I'll have to cut to under 15% before I can even think about bulking. Since I've had the surgery I'm being extra precautious so I began doing SL5x5 with an empty bar, gradually adding weights. In just the first week I've had several people snicker at me because I was lowbar squatting or benching with 5-10lbs on the bar.

one plate is a tricky lift because of the torque, 2 plates is way easier to achieve because the plates balance each other

That's because you never invite anyone.

bad bait

There’s no way even after 2 years that you went from 2/3/4/5 to empty bar. Even before I started seriously lifting I could always hit lmao1pl8 on most lifts save OHP. Even being extra cautious you should’ve been easily pushing shit with good control heavier than that

I don’t /fraud/ and never have and also have no appetite and don’t eat enough. Also content being otter. I only pushed myself in the gym for a while at the start but have been just doing the exercises and routines that I enjoy rather than for maximum gainz.

Partly it's because I don't think anybody would like it here (my unit is ugly, small, and I don't have a TV) but it's also because I don't know how to invite people to my place without seeming like a creep. I never really had friends over when I was young so I don't know what's normal and what isn't.

I'm not sure whether this is the best option for me. I love this girl, even though I shouldn't. I just want to become a better person, but it's so tempting to spend all my time on her. I should be on the lookout for a job and this shit is not helping me mentally

Attached: images.jpg (286x176, 11K)

I'm just being extra cautious after surgery. With that being said on stronglifts progress is so fast it doesn't even matter. I'm already squatting and benching 160lbs on a cut.

I was just a bit assblassted at the nerve of those little shits who never deadlifted even 4plate

she's obviously just using you bro.
all that self improvement for you is a trophy fuck for her, she is literally exercising her control over you. Drop her like a bag of burning dog shit & focus on becoming the best version of yourself, for you & a potential partner who isnt a psycho

You don't invite them to your place directly. You invite them to dinner at a much better place, then ask them if they want to come back to your joint afterwards for something like a beer or coffee. Then you kiss them and fuck.

Why are people snickering at you? I never behave badly against fat fucks who want to change their lives. I can however be superjudgemental towards people who are of normal BW and in my fucking way when I am lifting. I can seriously stare them down to the point of making them think I am going to fucking fight them.

Say no to the drinks and the shitty food and just continue improving. Whilst fucking her. Then when you find anoher, drop her like dogshit.

Oh jeez. I was just thinking about having friends over, user. I'm not going to kiss and fuck my friends and I don't know anybody else.

Day 2 nofap/noedge/noporn here, literally already starting to get some wierd stuff invading my dreams. I felt nothing yesterday, like it felt like i barely had a dick because it was flatlined, but it's sure starting to come back today already

It feels like it should have taken a few months to get this far. I still have at least 33 more lbs to lose and I don't want to spend another year with this.

This one time when I began squatting, I pseudo-injured my knee so it became sore. This faggot who hadn't been lifting anything except 1 lbs dumbbells on an incline bench sat behind me to look at the show or something. It was really fucked up. So I changed rooms to squat in.

Are you even lifting weights? wtf. If you are gaining muscle, then you should have a higher base metabolism which means you burn while you do nothing.

nice blog

that's what this thread is for m8

Can you tell me how a lift could be failed? Did you just not manage to lift it at all? I can at least get my dumbbells off the ground before I curl them.

dunno what the fuck you're talking about. im not that user

Just be glad you're not me anons.

Bad advice, both the food and her pussy are short term pleasure you're doing, holding off on the bad food is like holding off on alcohol but having heroine

I am in a same boat bro, except I feel like nofap is giving me the confidence to pursuit girls despite the lookism. My autism does scare a lot of them away, however it gets better if you put your mind into it and work to overcome anxiety. Just follow your goals and women will come along.

Consider having social hobies like mountain climbing, yoga, dancing (goldmine for confidence and meeting people), cooking classes, book clubs.

Be proactive.

There is no purpose for such a general. Fuck off.

But what counts as making it?
Reaching your dream physic? Becoming a functioning human being?
I find it sometimes hard t ofind the motivation to work out ofr do something to improve my life and then end up here for the rest of the day just shitposting my soul out.

my 80 year old father has higher test levels than you user

Unless you want to lose muscle while cutting that doesn’t help you very much.

Are you future me? How do I surpass you?

Failing before reaching the desired reps

Well the last thing he tried also went wrong. It was great while it lasted but ended in a disaster.

Weed saved my life in this way

Pretty sure I gave myself mania after a while but weed is why I started lifting, went back to school and got a gf. Lately when I smoke it, I just feel depersonalized and spacey with caring thoughts, so I quit and kept up the attitude.

Fucking autocorrect.
>mental fog
>spacey with racing thoughts

Yeah but i'm living in a small as fuck town, there's like 3k périple here, there's no such clubs.
And i'm always anxious to meet people so im avoiding this kind of shit. I'm going to try hypnose, but i know that i could do a lot better with Friends

I'm well aware, user. I exhibit plenty of the symptoms of low test but because I'm still above the minimum of 230ng/dl my doc tells me I'm fine.

Oh god, ifeel the same every morning since turning 30 and realizing just how much of a waste I am. How did he manage to get out of it and become one of the most powerful men during his time.

Getting a pup didnt make realize you have to live for others? hey man listen to me that dog needs you and it will love you unconditionally for the rest of its very short life, if nothing else keep going for your pupper, he will suffer without you. Live for others if you wont live for yourself.
