I am a noob. Trainer helping me learn basic movement patterns and proper form. Then when I try on my own, it’s like I can’t replicate what they showed me. Then I watch youtube videos and when I try to replicate, it doesn’t look or feel “right” to me. It’s been very mental for me. Trying not to feel discouraged. Normal to feel like a dumbass?
>>76972964>Normal to feel like a dumbass?>I am a noob.Yes, you are learning a new skill. You suck at the beginning, and continue to do so, pushing through frustration, until you are a novice no more.
>>76972964Training isn't just making bigger slabs of meat, it's getting our bodies to move certain ways safely. Some of those ways are complex from a biomechanical standpoint, some of them are simple but just take time and patience to train ourselves to do properly. If you're still seeing a trainer explain what's going on amd what you're struggling with, you're paying them to help you learn after all. Try using something like a broom stick and going through the motions slowly while focusing entirely on what your body is actually doing. Not everyone lifts exactly the same way.>normal to feel like a dumbassAbsolutely, if it was easy to learn new body movements Tango would be considered a beginner's dance.
Man I feel like I ruined a year's worth of progress in december. I went to the gym like 10 times, I was supposed to be cutting but I just drank a shit ton of alcohol and put me into a surplus every week. I definitely got drunk over 10 times last month. Probably closer to 20. So I lost muscle as if I was in a cut but got bloated and fat in the belly. A complete disaster. And all my lifts went down.But I had fun, while it was an expensive month I didn't go over my budget, and now that the holidays are done with I can get back to the usual discipline. Feels good to stop being retarded finally. December is always a shitty month in that sense, I don't know what comes over me, like I'm an entire different person just because it's the last month of the year. It's dumbass behavior but at the same time it's fun while it lasts so I can't truly say I regret it. It just feels back to come back to normal and restore the gains I lost last month.
>>76971143Nice job lifting bro! Now rest up so you can hit the gym at full strength next time
>clean day of eating >eat a fucking yoghurt before bed>end up binging 3k cals of carbsShould I just hop on?
>>76972950so you just ate 3k worth of rice? seems rather unlikely or do you mean "carbs" like this
Closing time soon, what’s everyone having?
>>76967173What are you waiting for, before you make an effort to change your life?
>>76969974>on 10x average salary>third worlder>no sexDoes your third world nation somehow not have hookers?
>>76972025Yes. No. Maybe. Stop fucking overthinking this, if she doesn't want to talk then you can make her, and you'll only weaken your position by bugging her about it. You could very well have just dodged a bullet.

what's your pr on this exercise, /fit/?
>>76968991little girls want to fuck their dad. nobody talks about it because it's "inappropriate" but it's true. when they're older, they subconsciously want to pair with men that remind them of their dads. it's fucked up. women are children their entire lives.
>>76968884>that formHow many reps can your husband do?
>>76970421>I've got money, looks, my health, some fun hobbies I enjoy doing both indoors and outdoors, etc. The only thing I don't have are more robust social skills.I used to think those things mattered. They're required but they're not enough on their own. Women want access to exclusive environments, social circles, and lifestyles. They don't want an average guy with all the boxes checked. They want you to elevate their social status and access to the finer things in life. They want to show you off to their family & friends. They want YOU to be a status symbol. They don't want frugal savers that drive Hondas & Toyotas. Those guys have no balls.

>>76972829I have no problem with people who train for strength or powerlifting, it's just not for me.
>>76972829>cardiohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vv6mbvulCtIAlex disagrees
>>7697282910 reps is hypertrophy territorygay gym bros might care how many plates you lift but women only care about length and girth
>>76973059ok so I increase the length of my session by doing 20 reps, but how do I increase it's girth?two benches?
Has anyone figured out an optimal lifting & masturbation program? I abstain for 48h after lifting because it's the muscle synthesis window but that leaves hardly any days on a 3x/week full body training
I find the negatives to jerking off are nonexistent (or even reversed!) if I jerk off to wholesome stuff, eg if you normally go for hardcore porn try softcore or teasing photos or even just your imagination good luck

I'm a deviant degenerate, I rarely shower, I'm balding and I jerk off to momcest threads on /r9k/ sometimes going as far as thinking about my own mom. I can't live like this anymore, what can I do?

I have been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. That explains why I keep getting injured. I don't even do bench press anymore cause my shoulder keeps dying even with good form. Thank you for reaching my blog.

>>76972937I like to cook the chicken in the pan, take the chicken out, then mix the rice in with the pan drippings.

Give a brief /fit related update on your current statusFor me? Doing a low dose anavar cycle, lookin good, getting nice pumps and a little strength boost. Anavar seems to be a lot chiller than doing 500mg test a week or a test tren mast thing like I've done in the past. I am getting nice mires at the gym from ze lay d's and have come to terms with the idea of not trying to get huge, but just look good generally. I'm a little depressed after using the dating app hinge. I get a lot of matches or likes from good looking ladies but they lack personality and refuse to talk in a fun manner. This has sent me into a spiral thinking maybe I'm the problem, but nevertheless I move forward believing a good looking chick with the ability to speak is in the world. I have gotten good results doing penis exercises. Mostly clamping with a fenrir, and pumping with a smarttract. Having a porn star size PP does give confidence but it was a 2 year-ish journey to get to this point. All in all I'm hanging in there, maybe the struggle and pain will make getting and keeping the right girl more rewarding. Anyways, felt like doing a tedtalk. Maybe other anons will want to do the same. Get that shit off yo chest homie fr fr 100 no cap.
>>76971353actually good advice
After years of installing T-posts and digging ditches for a living I have the goofiest fucking build you've ever seen in your life.

>>76972914None of those were real girls. Sorry bro, the only way to meet girls is to be in circles they inhabit irl.
>>76967611If you're gonna take that crap you might as well just do test instead. It'll help you mentally and physically

>>76972682I mean tbf, I apparently over-responded to plain daily enclo and it bumped my shit up from 700 to 1500 in a few months, which led to a lower dose and the introduction of the aromatase inhibitor
>>76971611>op is just gonna keep making retarded le test boost threads foreverNo, now i will make le estrogen boost threads.
>>76972694>which led to a lower dose and the introduction of the aromatase inhibitorWhich doesn't makes sense at all.
