I feel like I must post in this thread. I literally have not weighed under 180 in over 9 years.
You never mentioned the metric of progess that you were looking for, but as far as I'm concerned, this has been an incredible feat of strength and discipline I weight 199.6 in March. I've lost 20 lbs since then.
You motivates you OP? What do you hope to achieve? I believe you can do it. Easy my friend.

This is more of a mire thing, but I hit some new progress while doing it
>supplement lifting with bodyweight skill work
>only a couple weeks in and can almost do a proper back lever
>get invited to friends birthday thing at a trampoline park
>park has long pieces of fabric for "aerial arts" shit, so i decide to treat it like rings
>shit is much easier to handle than rings
>get into position, wind up doing one legged lever and hold it for a bit
>overhear hot teen girls say "how did he do that?"
The moral of the story is don't neglect bodyweight shit. It's fun as fuck and impressive to normies

>Pic related is my progress.
While not extraordinary in terms of speed or volume, I feel so much better.
I've gone from around 27% body fat, depressed, unmotivated, unemployed, addicted to cigarettes and video games to around 20% bf, motivated, non-smoking, semi-addicted to video games and... still unemployed.
Still a huge improvement and I'm glad to be instilling some good habits among the pre-existing vices.

Dont neglect your rotator cuff. I started training the little muscles with theraband and it gave the shoulder stability i needed for bench to skyrocket
Camden Garcia
Oh, God, what would I give to go camping with a cute gf....
In terms of bodyweight currently on some plateau, even though I'm cutting at this moment. But there's a solid progress in terms of strength. Hoping to achieve LMAO2PL8 at benching by the end of June.
What app / program is that, bro?

Darn. I even went down from 78kg in january and STILL managed to gain strength. If I'd have just eaten enough those two months from january I'd have been big and much stronger. And If I just kept eating enough instead of not eating or working out properly I'd be in seriously great shape right now.
Damn. Damn man. Not just figuring out portions, my apetite is fine, but god damn. That addiction fucking my days up so I don't eat enough because I lose all my energy. Damn.

once 13 years ago i was in the woods with a canadian girl and she pulled her sweatpants and underwear down to see if i wanted to fuck her against a tree but a big blob of period blood blorped out into her pad so i didn't do it. ate her out later that night though.
