What's the biggest fitness mistake you've ever made?

if i knew how much effort it would take to get swole, i never would've started lifting

good thing i'm in too deep now

stopped working out for 5 years because of depression. Now my life is over at 24 and by the time I get in shape again I'll be middle-aged.

>tfw mom found fard balloon

not starting on frogtech sooner

> he fell for the neck pill

not starting when i was 15 years old and reaping those sweet puberty induced test gains

Lift

Cutting 1000 cals under maintenance.

>people are middle aged at 25 years old

Not realizing sooner that lifting gives you access to girls. My adolescence would have been less sad.

>frogmogged

>Cutting 1000 cals under maintenance.
what's bad with this?

excess of protein powder

taking Jow Forums advice seriously.

For me, it was the McChicken...

Not being a social autist gives you access to girls mate. I was a chubby, yet a lot of girls wanted to ride my dick, especially when I was drunk.

Muscle-memory, idiot. It's at least twice as easy to put on muscle that you lost than it is to add new material

stopping stretching. you dont realize how bad a problem is until its far too bad. i wish i was humble enough to listen to other people, but i am a wilfull man, and i dont know if i will ever be able to learn from anything other than my own experience. please stretch anons, it could be the one thing holding you bqck from making it.

>wanted to
fattie cope

>90lb bench for one
Yeah the most retarded program and nutrition. This is why we say ss and gomad, it's better tham whatever dumb shit people will come up with if they're not pointed to roughly the right direction.

He probably lost some muscle after a recent cut. What he doesn't realize is that he will gain all of it back very easily.

what od you mean by this? how many scoops did you take? how many do you recommend?

SS. I entered T-Rex mode.

I actually didn't fall for SS (did it for maybe 2-3 weeks and then switched to a normal FBW)
but I had a lot of memeing around for 1.5 years, only recently (3-4) months ive been going decently and getting my numbers up
to 28kg db OHP, 1pl8 bench and 1.5pl8 squat
how important is it that i deadlift? I do want to reach 1/2/3/4 in the future but just for the meme

Not taking nutrition seriously way earlier

1234 is a meme, there's no reason for you to deadlift more than you squat unless you want to go snapcity

If you think 24 is too old to change you should seriously just kill yourself. I cant believe pathetic fucks like you actually exist in this world.

post body dyel

You fucking mongoloid cretin, I started lifting for the first time at 24, get back to work you fat fuck

he looks good at 77kg, way better than before.

Stretching is a literal meme with 0 literature to support it

bloatmaxxing and not doing cardio

He literally gained 0 muscle after a year and a half of lifting 5xweek and being on a massive calorei surpluss.

His max bench was like 90lbs.

He was also young.

How can that even be possible?

it makes going below parallel feel so much better tho

Being so obsessed with getting a six pack that I developed an eating disorder. Sure I lost over 100 pounds, but I only needed to lose 75-80, max.

Eventually I lost so much muscle that my heart atrophied and I couldn't even lift for a while.

It took me years to recover from that and get properly strong/swole. Thankfully I'm doing much better now.

post your body, i bet i can see how tight you are.

I fucked my shoulders up for a solid week after doing a hard night of upright rows and lateral shoulder raises

chronic stress - lots of cortisol all the time
some people need conditioning, some people just can't into gym 5x a week.

FAMILY CHICKEN AND RICE PACK

Because he was lying about how much he went to the gym.

I don't understand why his progress is so poor. Is it just shit genetics? 90lb bench press is pitiful

Do you mean he over trained? I'm chronically stressed but still have normal gains

I took advice from Jow Forums
Appreciate the humor ok?

No but honestly bad sleeping habits and no stretching.
Once I took stretching seriously and slept well, I felt as if I was on coke or something

kek

I bulked on SS for 3 years. Definitely gained muscle (started skelly), got strong as fuck. But I ended up being a depressed faggot over getting fat and stopped lifting so I lost everything after a year.

>9 meals a day

This dude really did everything except lift weights

being fat is better than being skelly tho.

at least when ur fat u have energy and are warm all the time. and won't die if you get sick once.

So you're saying you should not have followed religiously?

Believing Mass gainer shakes are better than baked potatoes and Lasanga. Supplement industry can fuck off besides the pre-workouts the shit is a waste of money.

Lmao squatting sucks. My DL max is lmao3plate but my squat max is only 155. DLs are metal.

Being fat is not even close to being better than being skinny wtf are you on about.
Atleast skinny people look good in clothes not like you garment distorting sausages

Listening to the PT.

only benching for chest

Giving myself excuses to cheat on my workouts/diet

spending more time on Jow Forums than at the gym

Getting proper, visible gains both subjectively and objectively for a year and a half but still getting absolutely nowhere with my real goal (feeling not depressed or comfortable with my body in anyway)
then I went twink mode

depends 100% on how your body stores fat

Letting myself get fat in the first place.

going to work, then driving 45 mins to a gym, then doing SS, then driving 45 mins home, then force-feeding myself. I hated it and if I'd continued I probably would have stopped working out entirely

instead I got a cheap squat rack with safeties at home and now I do PPL and a lean bulk. now don't have to: 1) deal with other people 2) wait for racks 3) have a commute to/from the gym 4) wear clothes specifically for the gym and wash them regularly 5) look like an autist with my headphones in all the time (instead I can just put a podcast or whatever on my speaker at home and listen to it)

>One and a half year
>max bench PR 90 lbs

This can't be real right?

Falling for the bulking meme. Also never doing abs. Squat and deadlift do nothing for your abs, nothing.

deff not at least twice as easy, but deff easier.

>90lbs bench press 1RM
my sides
PLEASE say sike

he must have done something so retarded in the gym that he could never recover
like benching every day for 200 reps worth of volume or something. Even then, that's pretty amazing to not even make a little gains

>depression

I remember trying to search for this image for years. Brings back good memories seeing it again.

Not hiring a good coach ASAP.

Skipping mobility work

88kg bw, 200+ squat, 250+dl as qualifiers

Also not enough shoulder and chest work, and listening too much to Dave Tate early on. Concentrated too much on powerlifting instead of BB too.

Overworking and bad form over the period of a month, ending up tearing a muscle in my groin. Could feel it getting worse with any exercise. Put me out of action for 6 months, just recently started getting back into the gym. TLDR Don't tear a muscle, it fucking sucks

This

Nah man, skelly was better. As a skelly I got muted and girls hitting on me. Was respected in general. Fat I was invisible to girls and guys tried to walk all over me and not take me seriously. Part of it’s how I store it though, the fucking love handles man.

>being fat is better than being skelly tho.
Americans...

How long have you been training, two months? With a good form is much safer to DL than squat. I've got a trip to snap city, L5S1 hernia, but I still DL, got to give up the squat tho

Stats? Would you go more times a week, had you known?

Snapping my fucking shit up on a simple squat workout resulted in a fractured L1 and I'm now banned from running, jumping, martial arts and from any exercises involving the spine. I'm only 21 but feel like I'm 51 every time I take a deep breath, feels like I have a fucking weight tied to my back that I can never put down and the tension between my shoulder blades never goes away.
I want to fucking end it all, got no idea what to do with my life and every time I see people taking lifting or a simple fucking morning run for granted it pisses me off

ah, beat me to it

6 days a week full body work outs, do it, don't be a bitch your body will get used to over training and eventually adjust

tell me about the simple squat workout? how much weight?

>low rep meme

you understand the difference between 5 and 8-12 reps is negligible to non-existant in terms of muscle growth, right?

cutting too hard. i was once a 86kg dyel
