How do you want to do better in the new year?
How do you want to do better in the new year?
Last year I got to 220x3 on the bench, but look like total shit. Started going to the gym and am focusing on hypertrophy.
Is that guy 4 Feet tall? How tf do you look that fat at 180?
I want to go the whole of 2019 without injuring my shoulder.
>I pray to st. Jeff Every workout
You have to get strong first, then use the added strength in a PPLxPPL routine. Get strong enough so you can do 225x10 for five sets. Godspeed user
I want a 4 plate deadlift and a 3 plate squat. I'm sick of having shit lifts for squat and deads.
I've been stalling lately, I thought maybe if I added some mass I could start progressing.
That kid looks Filipino.
He cheated. Any white man can marry a Filipino woman by just saying hi.
>145lbs
>Manlet confirmed
I don't even need to ask for the height
must be
i weight like 15kg more than him and i look like a twig
I'm 5'9" at 165lbs I'm benching 2 plate (not gonna bother with full stats) and I have some fat.
The eternal basedboy "smile". Hes gonna either kill himself or take his family with him.
So according to the timeline he found a wife while he was hot, then had two kids and he's still on that phase on which she is either cheating or about to, but cheering on life like it was going to be like this forever.
It doesn't change a thing for us. The first step is (as reinforced in that pic) to get fit first.
I'm at a point of my life where I'm fully aware of my problems and at a crossroad where I can decide if I want to act on bettering myself or fall back into the destructive behavior that defined me during the last 12 years. Changing behavior that is so deeply rooted in me won't be easy, but continuing to be like I am will only bring further suffering. I'm depressed and I know the only way out will be to finally act.
I set the following basic rules to achieve this:
>follow your routine
brush your teeth, do your work before sitting down, water your plants, do your sports, start yoga and meditation ..
>gain back your attention and refocus
rethink what is important and needs to be done right now, you are hiding from a task that needs to be done most of the time you consume media
>restart being social
people actually like you around, stop being negative, get in contact with people you neglected, actually answer text, call grandma, communication is key!
>no porn
Analyzing the mess that is my life took me a year and the results spiraled me into depression for another year. Now it is time to act on it or everything will continue to fall apart slowly. Sure, I wasted a lot of potential, but realizing that should only give me the power to put in the work right now or else I will only lose more time.
Goals:
>get cut from 225 to 180
>get my lost gains back
>build endurance, do cardio often, be able to run 5k in good time
>keep eating better until I just like eating healthy shit over junk
>socialize. A lot.
>study hard, will be using modalfinil often because I never built study habits/skills growing up and it makes it easier to just get it done
>collect all the stars on Mario odyssey
>start bjj/muay Thai/ boxing
>fix injuries. Meniscus, possible pinched nerve too
>get better job
>move out(23)
Replace gut with abs
4-5 pl8 dL without gear
3pl8 squat
Wider shoulders
And a body that will loook good in a bane costume
I know a guy, we nicknamed him "The Ruiner" because he ruined everything he touched. Terrible posture; chronic sloucher. Anyways, one day he was just married to a flip. Out of the blue.
I just need to get stronger in order to prevent my little brother (16) from getting the upper hand and becoming the alpha in our relationship.
>not becoming bear mode as a dad
Never gonna make it
>Lifting for women
>Get married
>No reason to work out anymore
What a surprise.
Or you could do all of that without becoming a fat slob
>that hapa kid
all racemixing is wrong
only when manlets do it
t. 6'6" hapa
>tfw half flip manlet
hold me brehs im not gonna make it am i
I plan to finish outfitting my home gym.
>180lbs
How fucking short is he? The only time I looked like that was when I hit 205 and realised I became a fat sack of shit. I don't even think my gut was that big.
what? why? so he shouldn't have kids with the woman he loves?
>6'6''
nice, nothing to learn here
>love
Lmao she was just the only women he could get. Don't want to doom your kids to be ? Have kids with a woman of your own race
He's got to be around 5'6
You are going to make it user, thanks for sharing. I like the whole restart being social, gonna have to remember and implement that one.
The trips have spoken.
To me, this is what hell looks like. Why not be both Jow Forums and a dad.
>Why not be both Jow Forums and a dad
unironically my goal. it's one reason I started lifting
>PPL
shut the fuck up you don't even lift
what thot
manlet and framecell. Why do you think he's standing sideways in his pose?
Nice delusion my dude if you are 5,9 with this kind of lift that isn't some fat. Thats lots of fat with a little muscle.
had an ugly autistic college who married a hot chinese, true love he claimed. somehow after the mandatory 5years marriage to get citizenship in my country she left him overnight. came to a suprise to him how could he know???
I had a filo fuck friend while in korea, she always made me cum deep inside her to get her pregnant and take her with me. to bad i didnt tell her i had a vasectomy. best sex, like her life depended on it.
>2013:
>a guy who trained for a year or two with mediocre lifts and zero leg training
>2017:
>a disgusting looking fat piece of lazy shit who is a bad role model for his children, so they grow up being anti masculine s o y boys who protest for women rights, also his wife probably cheats on him with masculine men
... progress?
I know your feel user. I stuck an entire year at 160 kg deadlift and 120 kg squat.
Just do squats twice a week one time heavy and one time light and deadlifts once a week with medium weights.
Trust me, next year your lifts will explode. I went from 120 kg to 170 kg and from 160 kg deads to 215 kg.
>that body on left
>year or two
you WHAT? That's like 6 months tops of machine only lifting
At 170 i was that fat at 5 9, with a bit of muscle
Riae
both my younger brothers now have gfs and im the only virgin left so i would like to get a gf but i wont so instead i would like to find a friend
This is the fate of everyone on this board.
I want to have serious personality gains, but don't even know where to start.
You can't magically change who you are. Being who you are probably sucks, but you're generally stuck with it.
Well, I guess I just want to be better at being fake then.
Stop investing so much time into girls that turn into sluts.
Get fuckin shredded.
Save money.
Give my doge an amazing life.
Listen to kanye more, be kanye.
Also just force yourself to be confident. Start talking to girls at bars when you're drunk. It helps.
I remember seeing that post. Pretty sure the kid isn't his. It's his wife's kid from a previous marriage.
Are you me? No seriously. This read exactly like how I write in my journal. Very surreal.
We can still make it, brother.
>them trips
>dat pic
The Holy Downie of Mighty Lifts hath spoken.
tard strenght
he's probably just going to live a relatively mundane and normal life, with spousal arguments masterbation and drinking too much. he's just a normal guy who accepted his lot instead of wanting to push for something extra.
checked and based. pretty much sums me up too.
I'm going to make sure I stay consistent this year. Got my stamina and acceleration just about where I want for the sports I play. Going to steadily focus on getting bigger but at 26 I have to pay a bit more attention to recovering properly, picking up niggles and neglecting sleep etc is a risk to long term plans.
Hopefully I can sort my patellar tendonopathy out so I start squatting again, until then I'll focus on deadlifting and hitting 5 plates.
And that's precisely the kind of existence I want to rise above.
Are you me?
I had patellar tendonitis for years. Was finally able to mostly get over it a few years ago. I stopped carrying my wallet in my back pocket, which made a surprisingly big difference (was causing some kind of muscle imbalance). I also started stretches, foam rolling, and sideways leg raises to work on my hip flexors. Helped a lot.
Good luck fellow 26 y.o. boomer
hot but that tongue is so fucking disgusting and a turnoff
I'm finally starting to move my life forward
After three years of being a neet I've been working full time for the past 2 months. Finding time to lift is more difficult, but I find it and still love it.
Now I just want independence. My own place. A girlfriend who loves me. I'm starting to actually feel like a person again.
We're all gonna make it bros
I dunno, could be bad lighting tho.
Of fucking course it's asian
>year later
>cucked, not allowed to see his kids, has to gibs 70% of his income
heh
I've been training for 4 months on a hybrid bodybuilding/powerlifting program. I want to reach 10 percent body fat and begin my first bulk, and then get my lifts up to 1/2/3/4 by the end of the year
An adult male weighs at least 200 lbs
>tfw no succubus gf to suck the soul out of you
You can’t get a girl if you look like guy on the right.
You can, if you're willing to raise her asian boyfriend's son.
Seek help my friend
that kid looks 100% asian, might be his wife's son
>that future Elliot on the right
Yikes
Not my fault that every western female is a mentally ill backstabbing roastie of varying degrees.
I'm 6'1 same weight and skelly so must be like 5'6
get into grad school
move out of parents' place
I've always maintained that feigning confidence is the same as having confidence, it might just be a personal problem but sometimes I just don't feel like it's worth it.
literally this, as long as you don't seem like an extreme overcompensator people will assume you're confident
Not drink as much although I'm already trying to stop now and it is proving to be impossible. I'm still a zoomer so I hope this is something I just grow out of.
literally try harder. the good ones are out there
work more
lose more weight
gain more muscle
stay away from thots
are you a hapa? if not there's still deception arc
I accomplished my New Year's resolution of getting a short story published in print (the anthology should be coming out soon).
2019 will be the year of the novel. My gf and I are going to Taiwan in February and I feel like I should break up with her after that and rack up a high body count but idk. All else, continue to make financial gains, literary gains, travel gains, career gains, and strength gains.
I've obviously started these new changes recently, because we all know NYRs aren't for Jow Forums, but I'll bite.
1. Stop drinking casual beer entirely. Occasionally, I'll have a single beer at a bar for trivia or something if it's one of my favorite beers. From here on out if I'm out for a night or at a party, it's vodka or gin and seltzers.
2. Full send a 5.11 rated climb.
3. Full send a five V5 boulder problems or one V6.
4. Cut to at least 175lbs, currently 195lbs.
5. Finally travel to a foreign country other than Canada (I'm Burgerland).
6. Complete 3-4 more Adirondack High Peaks.
7. Hike El Capitan in Yosemite.
8. Hire or find a guide and complete a 300-500 multi-pitch climb.
Yeah im 5'10 145lbs and im practically a skelly.
He has pretty decent muscle mass there so 5'6 or 5'5 is pretty accurate. That would explain why he married an asian
maybe it was more about your recovery time being to short then changing to a lighter squat?
I don't see how doing a set of light squats should help with strength. Hypertrophy for sure but not strength.
>Soi grin
>Soi body
>Soi beer
>Asian child
Where did it all go so wrong for this lad?
Sitting in hospital after just turning 30 last week. They tell me I may have ulcers or gallstones. Waiting to find out.
Not sure what yet but I gotta get it together. 20’s are done and this body isn’t giving me any more free rides.
>gets married and has 2 children within 4 years of meeting her
oh boy
