How was your day user? Any new PR's? How's your life atm?
This thread is about daily accomplishments - to keep it /fitness/ related include how training was today, what you achieved and what routine you are currently running.
How was my day you ask?
My mom had another emotional breakdown about the coming divorce, vented, tried to talk to me about it ( she knows that it crushes me emotionally ) and ultimately tried to get information out of me about my dad/ anything that could help against him in court etc.
Currently running GZCL and I'm loving it - Also hit 3pl8 x 3 DL ( I know it's not that much but I'm still happy). Lifting keeps me sane and emotionally stable. >t.OP
Didn't drink alcohol. Had some salmon. (expensive around here) Bought some guitar picks. Did deadlifts and variations. Just finished a 30 minute walk on new treadmill in apt. public gym. Just showered, edged my beard. Kind of looking forward to work Tuesday. >you got it
this past year i've started getting the worst anxiety attacks i've had since i was a kid
>about to take my undergraduate final exam in two weeks and defend my thesis >losing my gains due to schoolwork >losing my friends due to schoolwork >losing my hair
i feel like i'm deteriorating terribly
on top of my already shitty mental state, last friday i lost my wallet with my credit card, id, drivers license, gym card, etc. It has since been returned thank god, but it excerberated my anxiety 3000x and it still hasn't come down
I feel completely alone and am afraid of the future
Jackson Morgan
Thanks. Great progress anons! I'll chase my goals even if I need to get away from these people for some time - definitely gonna have to move out as soon as humanly possible. Should have figured this out earlier.. Even before the divorce, it has been a screaming mess.
Daniel Campbell
I often get these in social situations - if it gets intimate I just pass out mentally. Sadly I wouldn't know of any viable solution to confront anxiety; experiencing it more seems to just make it worse.
I don't have a gym membership so i can only lift at home, but i am slowly making some gains, especially my arms and shoulders. I only have a bench and dumbbells though.
The issue i have with the gym membership is that i only have two gyms in my area. One is cheap and i used to go there a few years ago, but it became really popular and now it's way too small for the amount of people who go there, so i went to this other gym, lifted there for a few months, but then i got issues with the owner and he kicked me out. So i was basically lifting for around one year, then stopped for one year and then finally started lifting at home one month ago.
Also i had two weeks of paid holiday, but it's my last day and tomorrow i will be a wage slave again.
Nice pull bro, I'm still chasing that 3pl8 diddly, most I've pulled was 123kg for 5, I feel like I can handle a lot more but my shit mixed grip fucks me over and on my last reps I can't hold onto the bar. I'm thinking of going hook grip, but I've got big clubbed thumbs and I can't get my index finger over the thumb. Not gonna be using any equipment, I guess just have to keep pulling the weight until it all works out. New OHP and squat 5x5 PRs today, still a khv tfw no gf though.
Well I couldn't make it to the gym today because the buses weren't running and I don't have a car. There was also a thunderstorm so fuck walking/jogging 2 miles. I'll just go tomorrow.
Leo Rivera
what did you do to get kicked out?
David James
do rack pulls and hold them 10 secs each. add 10 lbs total and repeat until you can't hold it for 10 secs. your problem is not grip strength.... it's grip endurance. >free.

I wanted to change the payment option from 1 year beforehand to monthly, but they said it's not possible yet and i have to recharge it. So when they tried to charge my bank account, they weren't able to because i didn't have anough money. The owner probably though i was trying to get away without paying and i was too embarrassed to tell him i'm just too poor to pay
Hunter Wright
>2 miles

AIT 25s, did Murph with a few battle buddies, but had to skip the run because I'm on profile for a toe injury. Later did legs at the gym.
Nathan Campbell

We will all make it. Continue grinding Great progress!
Josiah Hughes
I'm on SS nad been going to the gym for about 3 months. I progressed on my squat and OHP. Felt pretty nice.
My stepdad had part of his foot amputated today. I'm not sorry for the guy. It was because he didn't go to the doctor soon enough despite everyone's advice. And he had it coming. Both people who were supposed to be my father figure are huge pieces of shit. I'm just really afraid about who will provide for my mom and little sister. If something happened to him, I'm afraid I'd feel too guilty to leave for university and be stuck there trying to help them out.
I just weighed myself by the way and I lost 21 kgs since October.
Did 8 pull ups with clean form 2 months ago I could barely do 1
Ayden Butler
Started my CS MSc thesis. Gonna suck but gotta do it.

Luke Rogers

First day at my new job today as a chef. Felt hella good. Been talking to 3 different women that I am hoping to fuck at some point. It's my 3rd week being sober. Today is a really good day.
Adam King
Went to the movies, ate really unhealthy after a few days of drinking, been doing crossfit for roughly 2 months now and seeing progress, im just worried im gonna slip back into my unhealthy habits with drinking and junk food with this past week of me just not tracking food..... Any tips?
Ryan Cox
had a good back day yesterday and today the doms are killing me but I still did chest and I feel so pumped up and big. I'm at the prime of my development and every milestone just makes me wanna achieve the next one. we're all gonna make it.

> Squated 1pl8 comfortably and will be moving up in weight next time > Cooked a low carb dinner for my entire family (Baked chicken parm (no breadcrumbs) and stuffed peppers) and they loved it

>watched Chernobyl rerun with gf >Doing w4d1 of c25k in about 30 minutes It's nice I've lost an inch off of my waist and my boobs are starting to look like pecs
Benjamin Sullivan
Fucking shit, i let my ex-girlfriend talk me into bulking and she kept enabling me to get bigger and bigger and she ended up cheating on me because i got fat.
Now im stuck at 255lbs. A big wake up call today because i was measured to buy a dress shirt and my waist is just big and i noticed that ive made 0 progress and its hitting me pretty hard desu, im contemplating throwing away my natty card for a low dose of test just to help me with cutting . Honestly bros, any advice? Ive finally gotten over her and just focusing on lifting but fuck man when i look back at old pictures of myself i can see i let myself go big time and im getting impatient,18 year olds, 6,0 255lbs and all my lifts are shit because i fell for the bulking and powerlifting meme and ended up not even wanting to compete in the first place, i just want to look good and then worry about strength later. probably at my lowest at the moment but il probably forget about venting here but you know how it goes.
Were all gonna make it, bros.

>How was your day user? Alright, did some job hunting, not much >Any new PR's? Not a PR, but getting gains back, I got really sick and couldn't lift seriously for about 2 years (OD'ed) but today I incline benched 195 for 4 reps, it took weeks of being stuck on three reps, fucking sad, I really ruined my body, its slowly coming back tho, I will make a full recovery. >How's your life atm? My head is so incredibly fucked up from swallowing so many god damn red pills on Jow Forums desu
>My mom had another emotional breakdown about the coming divorce
Damn I'm sorry user, just know they love you even if means accepting their emotional instability
>I grew up with an abusive dad so I get it.
Hunter Butler

Cutting is finally catching up to me and I failed reps yesterday. Feels shitty but it is what it is.

I find that there are two types of people: those who see a full gym and lift anyway and those that use it as an excuse
What’s stopping you from being one of those people using the gym despite crowded conditions? I bet you would get used to it and make more gains
Brody Johnson
I worked out for the first time in 8 months(?). Was a decent workout, probably shouldn’t have done a full body but I just googled SL workout plan and did what is said in pic related. In the past my everyday workouts looked like this: Burpees 3x15, Jumping jacks 3x20 (I did these in 3 counts), High knees 3x15, Push ups 3x20 (Also in 3 counts) & lastly bar bicep curls 4x10 at 30lbs. This was my routine everyday and substituting which muscle I hit obviously. On leg day I wouldn’t do any of the cardio stuff though. I feel like I should just listen to my gut and go back to this but any other routine you’d suggest I’d like to try out and see if I like it.
