Keeping up hope is the hardest lift.
>Pushing 21Your young and have time. Much older people have been in much worse positions in life and been able to recover, you can too.>5'9>1.5/2/4/4.5 for 5 repsThis is incredibly good, like top 1% of athleticism in the global population, stop comparing yourself to liars on /fit/ or roided professional athletes.>Hideous incelEven if your actually hideous just put extra effort into grooming yourself and dressing well. Also being a virgin is a good thing.>$200 in bank >$70 left if i pay my yearly fee that will barely suffice to buy myself proper food over a short period of time130$ a year gym fee? Most people pay that per month. And if you end up homeless youll want a gym even more, access to a shower and a locker alone is a game changer for homeless people.>Live with parents, study in shithole universityOh okay lmao living with your parents anon you have it made.>Turbo incelAgain this is a good thing.>Women walk away from my direction out of disgustComment too long.

>If the average gynoid avoids you then you have life on easy mode.this seems like cope
>>76947810Lol this if anything this discourages me even more. I go outside and see what kind of guys are with women, i know my worth already.
give up, less competition for me
>tyler-pathI don't get it. Am I just too dumb to understand his vids?
>>76945105what a fucking ugly bastard
>>76945105Dude is so worried about small for tweaks always, it’s so annoying. Here’s the reality: if you feel your muscles working and flexing under load, you’re probably hitting that shit really fucking good. Play with and tweak your form to whatever hits your target muscle the hardest. These kinda videos are so annoying, it’s bound to make some n00b completely over focus on mirroring what he’s doing instead of HITTING THAT SHIT.
>>76945306fpbp
>>76945105This DYEL jungle gook is really annoying. Proof that lifting will never save anyone.
>>76945105His videos are actually dogshit. Whenever I just want a quick form check he's always recommeneded even his newer videos with voice overs are ass. Bad mic quality and still vague about form. The other asian guy is pretty good and the other other asian guy with hat is pretty good too, the white guy with hat is useful too. Just watch them and your feed will adapt.
How long does it take you to roll out of bed and get moving?
>>76945286
>>76946079Sounds like a motivational issue to me
>>76944989Lately it’s been taking longer and longer. When I don’t have work I don’t get up until at least 2pm and after I workout just spend all day sitting around. It’s bad.
>>76948036Caffeine addiction?
>>76944989Instantly, if I have to. I can get out of bed, put on some clothes, brush, shit and leave out the door in 20 minutes max.
What bf% is this? How do you achieve this mode?
>>76944464naturally 2 years of training if you have never trained before and 8-9% bf
> necro bumping
>>76944464Looking at his complete lack of delts and triceps despite a very good chest I'd say genetics play a big role in his case.
>>76944464>How do you achieve this mode?be gay

I never do any warm-ups beyond a set with the empty bar. Am I killing my gains by not properly warming up?
>>76947530I work bluecollar and lift after work. Is a day on the job not enough of a warmup?
>>76947519For the big lifts I just add plates until I’m “in range”. For squats I start with no bar, do 20 paused body weight squats, then add a plate and do 5-10 reps until I’m at 3-4 plates and my workin set. Basically the same with bench. Don’t overthink it, just get warm and prime your nervous system for whatever load you’re doing
Yeah you should do a few warmup sets with light weight. 10 reps of bar, 10 reps of 1pl8, 10 reps of 1.5 pl8, 10 reps of 2pl8. Then you should be warm to start actually lifting.
>>76947750>I work bluecollarIf you're an electrician, no.
>>76947759how much fucking time do you take at the gym lolif your working set is at 3 to 4 plates, bodyweight squats do jack shit. just do like 5 reps with the bar, then 5 with 1,5-2 plates and then your actual set
What is it about fitness that makes you happy? Tell me about it
God made the human body to be visibly beautiful and aesthetic when it's trained.People who don't give a shit reap their rewards, and we reap ours.
>>76943175Nothing. I have dysthymia.
>>76943493The real lifts are the friends we made along the way
>>76943175I love lifting hard, not just to "failure", but to complete and absolute failure of everything involved in the lift. The better/luckier I get at it the happier I am. Typing this I realize lifts feel best when form, muscles, nervous system, respiratory system, everything goes out simultaneously and I get crushed under the bar. 100% serious I hope like-minded individuals will see this
>>76943175I enjoy the feeling I get when I pickup my transgender girlfriend and hear her giggle. I am also a political extremist and being a fat extremist is gay.

>>76946220I get all of what you’re saying but the thing is it really doesn’t change something in my brain. With respect to being responsible for the bills groceries and staying clean, I already experience some of that. I pay my parents a lot of money in rent to live here, it isn’t like I’m freeloading, so “in a way” I do pay for these bills and groceries. I know it’s not exactly the same, but I do. As for privacy, there’s really no need for me to have any. It isn’t like I live a life where I would be dating or having random sex with women if I had my own place, or inviting friends over for parties and such, that I’m not doing because my parents are here, or that I would have to answer about “where I’ve been”. When I was in college I lived with roommates. Even in the most forced social time of your life to meet people, make friends, meet girls and date hem and have sex, I never did any of it.I’m not trying to excuse living with my parents in my 30s, I know how completely pathetic and shameful it is. But when you’re a loser in the rest of your life, I just look at it and say what’s the point. I have no interest in owning my own home, not like I ever will anyway. If I can even afford to live in an apartment without roommates, I will be just as alone and miserable as I am with my parents, so what’s the point. Something isn’t going to “click” in my brain that will suddenly make me feel like an adult, a complete personality 180 where now I am happy, confident, socially adept, oh now I’m gonna go make so many friends, oh now I’m gonna try to get with women. Nothings going to change.
>>76944378You gotta quit gooning bro, it's killing you. Congrats on your other progress though, next year will be even better
How do normgroids even get girlfriends? Dating apps literally don't work for men, dating events are just dating apps IRL, friend groups dissipate after university, the club scene is dead and - in as far as it still exists - full of sluts and only PUA retards recommend cold approaching because it's an easy grift that keeps clients paying.It feels like you either get lucky in high school, university or you just ropemaxx.
>>76947005Can confirm, pouting today, moving into depression. Quiet one word replies when asked a direct question, otherwise refusal to engage. Not a big fan of this game, but I guess it takes time.
I will lift 185lbs on bench on Jan 1st. Book it
How come this nigga looks like he barely lifts while squatting everyday?
>>76947973Hes nattyHe doesnt eat at a surplusHe uh, yeah
Yes
>>76947995im natty and have beefier quads than him
>>76948016same and I only even squat bodyweight but do a bunch of TENS-EMS training, kek.
Seeing shit like this is demoralizing as fuck as someone who started to finally get serious in the gym
>>76945268Nice Peter La Anguila
>>76946779I went to a 60% black school one year and took the "advanced" PE class (actually based in hindsight)We did so many fucking burpees, that was how I found out about DOMS
>>76945418I agree, but its funny you say that because I have ignored legs for a long time. I had hurt my back (not from lifting) and that caused me to stop squats for a while, which turned into not doing them for 2ish years. I've only got a barbell, so that was my primary lift for them. I tried doing some less intensive exercises during that time (lunges, goblet squats, band squats, etc) to keep them from completely dying, but those were never exercises I pushed past general conditioning. I think they're just left over from when I would bike a lot before I started lifting.>>76945795Magnesium is one of the few supplements I take, so I'd say this could be a solid solution.
>>76946704I somehow doubt he mogs me on any front other than BF%
>>76940236doing 20kg db bench presses for 4 years and never pushing beyond your limits is not "lifting"
or are you team beard nowadays?
Thin corporate beard
>>76947495~8-10%
>>76946957Clean shave. Use shaving soap. Use safety razor. A very small amount of cologne. Look sharp and put together.
>>76946957Beard as of last year, but not the shaggy hipster apology thing - keep it maybe 1/2 inch long. Wife hates it, but hasn't quite given me the opening to say, "I'll shave if you shave," so I guess we're keeping it.
>>76946957That is probably the biggest downgrade I have ever seen
I don't see people doing this.
>>76947956No I am skinnyI get this bad tendon clicking in my both arms
>>76947970youre cooked
>>76947972You're mean :(
>>76947944I don't see you doing it
>>76947987only straight people can see me
What's the truth about tongue scrapers? I heard they are supposed to work really well so should i be using one?
>>76947192Dentistry is an absolute scam that destroys perfectly healthy teeth to fill your mouth with heavy metals and compromise the integrity of good teeth with pseudoscience nonsense to make money. So, yes.
>>76947205Exactly, glad to see there’s someone with actual sense here on 4chan. They also falsify x-rays to show that you have cavities or root problems that they claim to need to fix. If I have these problems, why can’t I see them? They’re all scammers using pseudoscience
>>76947212Dentists are literally failed doctors who drill holes in and fuck up your teeth by permanently compromising their integrity. Fillings involve destroying more of your teeth instead of letting the body naturally remineralise.
>>76947223So, I generally don't like dentists or dental work and I also don't drink soda or coffee and smoke and all of that sort of stuff. I brush my teeth with the fluoride free stuff and I frequently use tooth picks to scrape plaque and bullshit out of my mouth after meals. I'm 37 and I've not been to the dentist since I was 20. I keep an eye on my teeth and enamel. They are the same that they have always been, I don't have discoloration, I don't have holes or dark spots, I don't have receding gums, I don't have any temperature sensitivity.If you had told me at age 20 that dentistry was a completely unnecessary scam I would have said yeah ok bud. But after years of not going at all because I simply have absolutely no need, I think at the minimum the annual checks, the drilling, the "teeth cleaning" all of that stuff is snake oil bullshit they do to pad their pockets. I don't deny that there are things dentistry is extremely important for. If I chip a tooth, or need a root canal due to an infection, or some other major problem, but I think that they created this whole racket because they wanted consistent money out of people and that most of them probably actually believe it's good and necessary to do all this stuff. I think the average person if they don't have a horrific diet and don't totally neglect normal grooming habits have no need for a dentist most of the time.
>>76946947lmao what are the other 4 things? are you bringing a yo-yo?
GLP-1? can i pay someone to lock me in a room and only allow me to eat a certain amount of calories a day? if i have a calorie deficit of even 500 i'm basically ravenous and thinking about food for the last 4-5 hours of the day and have to take sleeping pills to fall asleep at all. i'm not even obese just always been slightly overweight and like 20% body fat my whole life
>>76945735I'm like you and nothing worked but cutting carbs. You'll always be hungry and you'll always think of food if you're limiting your fats.Caffeine just makes you sweaty and jittery and unable to sleep. Not worth it. You need to satisfy yourself with food. And it's hard to do that with carbs because they aren't filling and make you want more.
>>76946921You are fat or a twig. Definetly not someone with an impressive physique.
>>76946938ok keep telling yourself that bag of milk.
>>76946945>keep telling yourself that someone who half asses training for weeks and months at a time doesnt look like shitDont need to remind myself of an obvious fact. Quit taking the advice if roided youtubers.
>>76946969Bag of milk.
