Time for some uplifting feels fellas
>stop pressing for a few months, focus on leg and back work
>return to pressing and my bench and ohp are better than they ever were
>tfw you've broken your limits once again
Is there a better feeling that knowing you've become better than you were before? We're all gonna make it.
I feel you brah. Did 287,5kgx5 in the squat today, so im stoked as well. Hope you enjoy your new strength gains my friend.
>tfw nearly at a 1pl8 bp After not being able to bench the bar for more than 5 reps 5 months ago
It's babyweight to you guys but I'm proud of myself
based also check em
>Feel like I've stagnated for the last few months
>relatives come to visit
>everyone starts saying how I've really bulked up
My eyes are open, I'm gonna make it
AND SO ARE YOU, user READING THIS
People don't seem to realize taking a couple weeks off once in a while is great for gains. They swear up and down that your bench goes down after missing just a week.
Good for you man, keep going.
My dad did a lot of competition bodybuilding in his 20’s and 30’s and he used to say you should take a week off every 3 months for your sanity and to let your body get a full week of deep repair.
I lost 177 lbs over 18 months. Grew an epic beard and I'm starting to date.
So far I'm only getting dates with fat girls from tinder with lying photos, but it's a start. I'm treating each date as practice. I'm learning to flirt and be attractive even though I don't want them.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
>gains stalling on pull ups
>"have to" take a break from lifting altogether for 2-3 weeks
>come back and do pull ups
>feels like i could go on forever
I eventually had to stop, but it was a good 5 or so more than my max. I got so hyped I forgot to count.
it'll be babyweight to you as well if you keep going
>epic beard
>reddit spacing
Stop this. Good for you, though.
I finally managed to bench 1pl8 after not being able to bench more than just the bar 3.5 months ago.
We're all gonna make it lads
I feel you. Feels like such an accomplishment when you finally hit it. Keep going user.
I am over a sad period and I made a new friend. My cut is going well, life is looking good
you want something uplifting?
go do pull ups
How do you make new friends
Today I got diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer. I'm 23.
I've lost 7lbs in 10 days
>tfw lost 14 pounds
>tfw man tiddies shrinking and soon to be nonexistent
>tfw can see my penis now
>tfw double chin disappearing behind a now relatively nice beard
>tfw can do 15 and 10 on the cardio machine for one mile without stopping now
Is this what the pride of accomplishment feels like? Still got a lot of ways to go
>lost ~6-7lbs since year start.
>driving mom and her friend when home for the holidays to a bar cause they were drinking
>moms friend tells me “if I had a son I hope he would be like you user”
>survived the cuts at my company so far
>actually getting a better squat and diddy as I work running and HIIT into my workouts
I’m doing some things right I guess.
I want to buy a noose and end it all, how do you cope with existential crisis' Jow Forums?
that isnt very uplifting. what were your symptoms?
>be me
>start lifting 5 months ago b/c why the hell not -I had nothing better to do
>surpassed 1pl8 bench today
feelsgoodman, we're all gonna make it if we try
Nice man, that's always a good feeling! For me, my job is going well and picking up - it's nice being able to pay all my bills, have a little spending money, and still be able to save some money. Seeing my bank account grow every month is fantastic, especially after the last two years, which were hard for me. Also, I'm pretty sure a girl at the gym is into me, so I'm going to ask her out next time I see her, wish me luck boys!
>Be 5'10 lanklet
>Always had narrow frame, felt insecure about this
>Did a long back work out, pull ups, rows, lat pull-downs
>Also worked out shoulders
>Day following I look pretty good in the mirror, broader
Not sure if it was just a change in posture or a pump, but it made me want to do that work out again.
Just do nice things for people occasionally, also pray honestly to God (the truth of whether or not he's real will come to you in time) the nihilism goes away soon.
do you look much better?
a few people have pointed out that I have more defined biceps, but I doubt I'll be hearing too much until I hit 2pl8. In either case, feelsgoodman

God loves you very much. You might be going through tough times, but He's up there and watching you, making you the best man possible. Don't give up on yourself or him
That's why resting is important, senpai
Does this help anyone? Why are you speaking for God? Why should I live for an absent father figure?
I did 70 kg on Friday for reps proud of that cus I'm really skinny and weigh 60 kg
>finally broke past the weight I was stalling for weeks at

But it's push day?
Jow Forums is a Christian board.
That wasn't my question retard.
Good luck!!
it was just a pump lad, your physique doesnt change in a day. but use that motivation to keep at it.
What's your weight user? This sounds alot like me. Except my first day I went for 45 mins, and now my calves are super sore.
