>spend years building muscle >finally able to 5x5 1/2/3/4 >too bad im a 6'0 235 lb fatty >terrible mile time of 9:30 >fuck this shit >decide to slim down to 185 >lose all lifts, can only 1rm 3/4 and two rep ohp and 6 rep bench >wtf all my gains are gone >mile time 5:45 Lifting is a fucking joke. There's no point in spending YEARS building muscle when you can lose it all in one year just by slimming down. I've taken the cardiopill and brosplit pill now. Fuck powerlifting. The only thing I will keep is cleans, bench, and ohp. Beyond that, I'm just doing chad excercises. Fatty bloated powerlifter mode looks terrible on boomers.
Just go bear mode and be my bf.. you'll be way happier

Looks like you just cut too aggressively, take it slower next time -500 calories from maintenance is all you need.
Jason Thomas
No shit you lose weight your lifts drop. Next time go lean bulk.
Carter Foster
If you gain a little weight you will regain a lot of strength, because of muscle memory
Isaac Miller
Yeah, no doubt I did. If I refeed the day before and day of I can pump out some good lifts. But then my diet is fucked and ruined.
I just want abs and to look younger. Being 26 now has ended my life.
Ryder Richardson
Is this true? I started lifting 1 year ago, gained about 20kg, looking thicc but i want to slim down a bit and im terrified i will look dyel. Im sure next year im starting steroids, why dont you do that too user?
Samuel Martin
I'm OP. Did the reddit cycle of test-e 500mg/week. gains were good, didn't keep any of them though especially once I started really cutting. Also experience hair loss and back acne. Though, I was fucking juicy and felt like a god.
Ayden Hughes
>didnt keep any of them did you pct correctly? >once i started cutting i think its advised to not cut without being on gear how about you post body op, maybe its all in your mind and you still look good
Levi Ramirez
It took you years to realise that powerlifting =/= aesthetics??
Landon Roberts
>gained 20 FUCKING KG in a year Yes most of that is fat retard, you put on about 20>>pounds
Liam Walker
That's pathetic all around desu
Asher Diaz
Aesthetics has nothing to do with powerlifting vs bodybuilding. Aesthetics is 100% genetics. One person can powerlift and be aesthetic while another can bodybuild and not be aesthetic. Aesthetics is all bone structure and muscle insertions.
Gavin Morgan
What the literal fuck are you talking about. Are you saying that respectable powerlifters can look like Zyzz or Jeff Seid? Please tell me you aren't this retarded and is giving out advice on Jow Forums. Either you're stupid or you don't understand the definition of aesthetics or powerlifting
Levi Carter
well its more like 1 year and a half but yeah i guess part of it is fat. >20kg is absolutely ridiculous and is mostly fat. Wtf lmao you either have shit genetics or started lifting after puberty, those are easy gains when you start skelly
Yea respectable powerlifters can look like Zyzz or Jeff Seid if they have the exact same bone structure and muscle insertions, and if they're lean and roid. If Zyzz or Jeff focused on only powerlifting, they would look a little bit different, but they would still look good.
Eli Bailey
dude fuck, i turned 26 this year and am constantly thinking of my age and how it affects daily/long term decisions. It's not fair. 26 isn't old, r..right guys?

Gavin Baker
Life was over for me since I graduated uni.
Austin Perry
Thats why you never cut aggressively. I went on vacation for 2 weeks did shit ton of cardio ate 3 times a day, usually I eat a lot more meals. Lost like 13-15 pounds. Still went to gym despite sleeping like shit due to time difference picked up heaviest weights available did super sets with little recovery time making everyone look like a baby. When you cutting you still have to eat at least 3 meals a day with carbs or say goodbye to your muscles.
socially, you guys have around 12 years to find a wife and have kids

The second panel should be swapped with the 3rd except the bike should be gone.

ITT: OP discovered that he was a weak faggot manlet (5'9-5'11 manlets always "round up" to 6'0) and needed to make a cope thread on Jow Forums to try and convince himself that everything is ok.
Oi, bruv! you got a loicense fo' 'at big ole 'ead o' yours? 'at melon's bigger 'en big ben!
Jace Lopez
hold on lemme get this straight.
it took you years (as in more than one, possibly more than two) to reach 1/2/3/4 for 5x5, while being at 235 lbs, while fat enough to only run a 9 minute while, while on 500mg of test-e
