How do you go on? I have been struggling with paranoia since childhood. It got really bad during puberty, but it seems slightly better now. I quit medication all together, most of it had no real effect or improvment on me. it either made me extremly numb like most of SSRIs or straight up didn't work.

I wish I would have gone on antidepressants and anti anxiety medications like everyone else is on. It might have given me the chance to have a functional life. Instead I never went on any drugs and have just lived with my severe depression and crippling anxiety that have rendered me a completely and utterly useless loser in my 30s. I guess this is chronic mental illness

I think getting /fit/ with unmedicated ADHD is impossible. I've been lifting off-and-on for years but have never made any actual progress so I still look dyel.

I agree. If I would have intervened in my mental illness and social avoidance when it was developing as a teenager I might have had a chance to have a decent life. Now I’m mid 30s and have completely wasted my entire life from the depression, misery, giving up, and mental spiraling that has never ceased

Even my pathetic dyel body is the result of a 2 day pump. If I go 3 FUCKING DAYS without lifting my muscles deflate. I look like I've never picked up a weight in my life.

I can't pullup my bodyweight from neutral and I weigh 80kg. I physically cannot do dips. I can only bench 20.5kg dumbbells for 8 reps at best (estimated 1RM 50.6kg) AND I'M ALREADY PLATEAUING.

My test levels are normal at 550. I think I'm just complete genetic trash and I'm so tired of spinning my wheels. I have a friend who hates lifting and has never lifted in his life and he has bigger biceps than me and I fucking spam curls every workout. How can I find the motivation to keep going, I'm going insane.

It has effects on negating certain desires and cravings, especially food-related satiation. This makes it easier to follow a diet, if one's problem is only just will power. But yeah, if you don't have that skill issue, you can just not use it.

Not sure where to go from here. While I've trained my hunger over the past 18 months, I know for certain it would bounce back if I start eating like an American again. The question is: should I start Ozempic to maintain?
>>
Sure
>>
>>77367044
no
>>
>>77367044
your ideal weight is what looks the best as well as what is the easiest to maintain, unless you want to workout like a pro athlete for the rest of your life. At 5'10, I can maintain 170lbs around 10-12% bf all year round with 2 gym sessions per week and not paying attention to my caloric intake. I got up to 190lbs around 15% bf a couple years ago and it was a pain in the ass to maintain. It was like my body didn't want to the excess weight and did everything to shed lbs. The best I've ever looked was in 2022 when I was at 170lbs around 7-8% bf, that was insane.
>The question is: should I start Ozempic to maintain?
no. Just lift weights and eat enough protein at maintenance calories

Here's the obvious problem with your advice assuming you're not lying or simply exaggerating. Virtually no one, probably 1 or 2% male adults, stays at 12% "without paying attention to my caloric intake". That's like an alcoholic asking me how to manage his cravings and me, who rarely drinks and has zero desire for booze, saying "just don't drink bro it's easy". The whole point is the vast majority of people at 12% will often be hungry without the new GLP-1's.

Is it bad to eat your whole days food at dinner time?
I'm not talking OMAD, I mean I eat my whole days calories at dinner time.
The only exception is I have protein shakes right after my workout on lifting days.

If you ever have kids, ensuring they grow up to be tall, fit and attractive must be a priority. Society will tell you that it's most important that they get an education and learn to be nice, and while those things are important, the harsh reality is their lives will be made far easier by maxing out their CHA stats.

for me, it's velo. I find their pouches preferable to zyn, or oni.Definitely don't just leave it in for 5 minutes if you're not used to using them. But there are some benefits. Not sure they outweigh the cardio negitives though. As tucker carlson alluded to, there are true male enhancement benefits to it. Also it seems to me like a coffee/energy drink adjacent boost.

Strains different tendons. Overall a matter of comfort.

>>77366576
It works your biceps more and hits the lower pecs. Overhand hits the spinal electors and forearms more.

Don't even get started on close grip, wide grip, landmines, Kroc Rows, seated rows, and so on it is wild how varied the Row is and how certain hand positions work entirely different muscles.

My wrist is super fucked up. I’m getting surgery in the fall, but it’s gotten so unstable that they put me in a cast for the next month to try to calm things down a bit. While a much lesser problem than my wrist itself, I’ve had the cast on for just a few days and it’s already getting kinda funky after just doing some cardio and bodyweight training. Any advice on training in a cast so my arm doesn’t smell like death? I figure it’s good to get a trial run now, because I’ve got another 3 months of casting starting this fall.

>>77366200
Just forego strength training and walk 2 hours a day. This will be a great opportunity to get your cardio up to par as well, it's more important than strength for health and longevity anyway. Don't forget that with this cast you can also not catch yourself if you fall, so walking is the only safe option over running or biking (or any other cardio). Walking an hour in the morning and then before sleep is also a great way to explore your town, make it your goal to walk every single road once instead of always heading straight for the highway
>>
>>77366200
If you're worried about your cast smelling like death use hand sanitizer, but that only delays the smell it will inevitably end up reeking if you continue to get sweat in it
