>>77199913Start being a man for once. You did the mess, you own it.
>>77199913Kill yourself for trolling?>>77199908I like that one schizo anon who calls the other schizo anon out. Not sure if its real or not, but he basically tags low quality posts with a reply "this nigga is kekeke a 38 year old neet that doesn't leave his house". I like it, its like a curse. Perhaps we should make this a tradition. Every time there is an obvious bait low quality post, to prevent retards from replying we should invoke the spirit of kekeke, or whatever his nick was. Sounds like some Aztec vengeful daemon deity.Then again, I am no psychologist but doing things like that is basically giving cred for free, and if that nigga exists and if he's shameless, he might shitpost more for it.
does bonesmashing actually work? i wanna lose face fat but too lazy to do cardio
I’m in my mid twenties and have never had a job, no education and no friends since highschool. At least my physique is good…
>>77199966get a job and all your problems is fixed

>>77199908>How have you improved yourself this week/month/year?Since february of this year I made a plan, set my goals (in fitness/education/job/hobbies) and so far I have been fairly consistentFor fitness it's achieving a freestanding handstand/HSPU and a clean muscle up on rings as well as getting better at running, I keep my diet in check in a sense that I don't obsess about it (i.e. counting calories and all that) but I get my protein in and eat mostly whole home-cooked meals to appetiteFor education/job is finishing my degree while improving my skills, currently going the odin project (https://www.theodinproject.com), a fullstack web development curriculum which is mostly project-based as opposed to infinite tutorials where you just stare at someone else doing stuff, I also do leetcode/competitive programming on the side as practice, I think there's no better all-in-one resource than https://usaco.guide/For hobbies I combat shitposting and wasting time with better things such as reading (I'm on my 7th book already, I read fiction and non-fiction), I actually engage with things that I like (movies/games) instead of gossiping about them and I also picked up language learning, currently grinding my way through a japanese mangaI think some of the most important changes have been1) ditching active procrastination, it's the kind of procrastination where you look busy but effectively nothing is getting seriously done, I believe most work could be easily condensed in 1-2h of serious laser-focus effort instead of spalming it over 8 hours of nothing, this is due to the faulty "more work == better results automatically" mentality2) deciding what not to do from the start, avoid choice paralysis>>77199914>young fags who think its already over fro them at the ripe young age of 20must watch for them, tldr if you think it's over then you won't even try and nothing will happenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk6dC12R7bs
>>77200033i just want big biceps man
A few questions:1-I noticed that some images from the folders don't really load, not even the thumbnails. Anyone know why that is?2-What's /fit/ consensus on OMAD? I tried it for 5 days and not eating less for so long was somewhat annoying since eating is the only pleasurable activity that I have in my life nowadays. But it was really convenient also, since I work a 9-5 and became less worried about meal prep. Another positive was that it became easier to both fall asleep and wake up for some reason
>>77200178Nowadays if you want to lose weight you just buy reta off the gray market. All other diets are a meme.
>>77200181I don't think I'm fat enough to justify resorting to shady drugs yet.t. 5'9 + 143lbs
>>77200191Just do more cardio then. It's the most efficient way of burning additional calories without requiring any money.
>>77200194Sure. I need to get back on doing cardio anyway .I also would like suggestions of non-meme calisthenics programs and/or resources.
How do you make friends, I moved cities and lost them. I am fit now, but still too scaried to talk to some random people. In high school it was so easy because I was surrounded by people my age, but now I don't know.
>>77200206JUST RUN YOU GORILLA NIGGER
>>77200208Gym people are generally open-minded but friendships form slowly.Tinder/Grindr if you're looking for relationships.I sometimes find new friends via Steam/Gaming too.
>>77200004how do you feel about the Gluteus medius?
>>77200215We need /fit/ meetups. Who lives in the metro nyc area?
>>77200218like a gay orgy?
>>77200218Good idea but only works for American metros.
>>77200219I still remember the story about that one /k/ meetup where some gay dude ended up sucking every guy there while the only two women hid in their tents.
>>77200219to be autistic and lift together
>>77200224I think a /pol/ meet up would be the most entertaining
>>77200224I just remember the one where the guy made brotein brownies
>>77200236That's just India.
>>77200230.............lift?
>>77199908I am now going to sit here and explain how I need contest scoring to work to ChatGPT in excruciating detail while posting on this thai basket weaving forum. Something really is off with the world
>>77200224>>77200237lol please tell me you have a screen cap of something>the women hid in the tentLMFAO
>>77200230>>77200239yeah you know...lift
>>77200297
>>77200178>1-I noticed that some images from the folders don't really load, not even the thumbnails. Anyone know why that is?Which Folder exactly and maybe which subfolder?For me it seems working fine.
>>77200312No that was the one with the brownies. The one I meant was another one where a guy gave out bjs.
>>77199938>Not sure if its real or notConsider the worst case scenario: The target of these posts is not real and only serves to encourage irrelevant off-topic posts and analysis, such as this, to no valuable point. As always, young man, the best course of action is to hide the threads and do not engage with low effort shitposts of ANY kind. You'll catch more flies with honey.
>>77200421> As always, young man, the best course of action is to hide the threads and do not engage with low effort shitposts of ANY kind. My bad, I meant posts.Hide these POSTS and do not engage with low effort posting.The thread itself is 100% based as always.
I feel like I am becoming increasingly bitter in recent years. Everything is about sex now... EVERYTHING. I can't even talk to friends or family anymore without the topic ending in talking about sex. Just yesterday I had a fit and told my family they were brain dead retards because I said I had planned to travel to Spain alone this summer.>DOES SPAIN HAVE A LOT OF WOMEN?>IS THAT WHY YOU GO THERE?>OH YOU PROBABLY GET A LOT OF PUSSY EVERY DAYWhat is even more annoying is that even though I tried steering off the topic by talking about specific museums and history and such, all I get is>What does that have to do with women, Anon? Why don't you just go to a bar?It's so fucking cringe. I'm not even a virgin or anything. I have had girlfriends before that they have also met. My friends does the same shit>Why not just hire an escort or go clubbing? I had sex with 4 women last time in Spain!!!!Movies and TV shows have similar issues. Every show and movie has completely unnecessary sex scenes now. Music is all about sex. I had a friend literally try to fight me because I said Sabrina Carpenter had a nice voice but wasted it on her songs because of trashy lyrics. He literally used sex as a counter point to it.Am I crazy or is this just how things are nowadays?
>>77200476This is how things are and how things were for most of human history outside of highly religious societies.
>>77200476damn lil homie, you need to get laid
>>77200510I have gotten plenty of laid. Last gf I broke up with was just 5 months ago. I just hate that you can't have a normal conversation with people without it turning into coomer shit.
>>77200517>>77200517>>77200476>immediately brings up sex and slang derogatory porn termsLost cause.
>>77199914It's not over until your heart stops beating
SIG my beloved...
>>77199908Am I dreaming?WE'RE SO BACK
>>77200476Sex is the only reason for life desu all else.is cope>Ooh Im seeing le heckin holiday Spain!!Shut up
>>77200312what the fuck.
Getting my insurance license tomorrow and getting out of tech finally. Gonna program an AI to help me with sells that will read through the company documents and give me a summary of what to say during the zoom call.
>>77202136Insurance sales. L o l
>>77200476you're wrong thoughfood is the current thing now
>>77200476The conversations from your family would make sense if you were a virgin, single for a long time or just old enough for them to want you to have kids. The other things about your friends is cringy as fuck, especially the one fighting you. Movies and tv shows add sex scenes because it sells. I hate it too when they do it poorly, but I just skip it. How old are you btw? Your friends make it sound like you are very young.
>>77202142Why lol?
>>77199908I do consider this to be part of improvement, it can be categorized into hygiene, but anyone have advice on shaving body hair? I developed that trichomewhatever crusty armpit hair thing so I started having them and using peroxide every few days. But the hair grows back so fast. I thought my hair already grew fast, like I have a full 3/4ths inch of beard in 5-6 weeks. But the armpits I have 1/4th inch hair in a week. It’s crazy.I also seem to sweat way more out of my forehead after having my pits? What gives? Was I sweating out of my armpits more due to the hair and now I sweat less but my body still wants to sweat?
Greetings everyone.I have came back to this site after several months.I just wanted to wish you all the best and tell you to stick to the process and in the end you will see the light.Back in October I was a total bum, anti-social, no friends, no money, wagecuck, no prospect of gf, shit physique etc etcIn less than a year I have managed to turn all of these around, through persistence, attention and itterative improvement.Never give up on your self. Trust the process.I bring a friendly ear and am willing to help. Tell me your concerns.
>>77199908I’ve made it a habit to be brutally honest and communicate clearly whenever I feel I’m not being treated fairly. I thought that would lead to arguments, but so far it’s always worked out in my favor. Sometimes I'm a bit too confrontational now, but I'm finding the right balance.
>>77200476Spain and greece are notorious sex tourism spots.You get massive pussy there being an anglo or american with money, basically the thailand of europe.
>>77202398I want to start a bamboo farm and build with bamboo.
>>77200191>5'9 + 143lbsYou need to gain.
i need a fuckin reason to keep going bros. 'do it for you' doesn't work when you hate yourself
Been working out for four years and learning Spanish for three, both on and off. Haven't gone to a gym in a while but I have a super heavy band for pull exercises and have been using a deck of cards for pacing with pushups. Never did pushups as part of a strict regiment before November. Started that month with 150 in an hour and a half as a starting metric, no burnouts and strict form.Now, I'm able to hit 30 pushups in a row, completed a full deck* (missing an ace) for 416. 300 of which came in 55 minutes, the rest broken into two separate workouts through the day. I can do archer pushups now, a previous long-term goal. 10 per arm and alternating between.I've also just finished up a section on Duolingo, now on my largest lesson block yet. Previous was 60, this has 250 sections. This will probably take me the remainder of the year, if not longer, to complete. By that time, I also hope to graduate to one-armed pushups.Four years ago, I was 300+ and probably couldn't do a single pushup to save my life. I'm 32 now, planning on enlisting sometime soon as I gather documents. It's never too late, never give up on yourself and keep striving instead of being complacent.
>>77202862Explain this card push up business
>>77203004So, it's kind of simple. It's a standard deck with jokers included. Number cards correspond with their numbers, face cards are 10, aces are 15 and jokers are 20. Normally, a full stack like this is about 431 but I'm missing an ace.It randomizes the pacing for you and, for me at least, it's an easy way to keep track of how many I've done. Now, I'll typically do them in blocks of 100-150 before taking about a 5 min rest, though typical downtime is about a min per card.I have small variants within the game depending on how I feel, like tacking on cards 4 and below onto the next card or hitting diamond pushups for 5 or below on diamonds.
>>77203004>>77203085This is an easy go to kid/group PT thing, too. I've never done it all the same exercise, always a suit represents a different movement. Or, if in a group environment, everyone circles up, take turns going through the circle selecting different calisthenics and the card designates the reps. Another version of that was the suit indicated a modifier (diamond - tempo/heart - iso hold for seconds [if applicable]/club - double reps/spade - all reps are 10).
I don't mind the sensation/exertion in working out but I hate how drained it makes me feel after.Like, people always talk about how "energizing" lifting or running is but I just feel like crap after. I just want to take a hot bath, eat, then lay in bed lazing until the next day.Is there even any fix to this? Most times I don't even feel like I'm going very hard in the gym but that energy drain just fucking sucks ass
>>77202847Keep paddling on like boats against the current, my man. If you have someone that loves you are cares about you, use them as a tailwind, if not, keep paddling anyway
>>77200476>Every show and movie has completely unnecessary sex scenes nowOh great it's another of these faggots from a parallel dimension
>>77202315Good shit man how did you find friends and a gf
Quit smoking, drinking and weed. Down 7kg in 7 weeks on my cut. Don't really feel any better, shits just anhedonic gray all the time.
>>77203375have you tried making friends? wont make the world better but it will at least make ignoring it easier
>>77203497I'm a software engineer and was able to take a year off from working and do whatever. All because I have self-improved for more than a decade and had massive savings and investments.It's not all about pussy. It's about freedom and living too.
>>77199908I need this shirt
>>77200236Shia LaBeouf did it once, he can make it happen again
>>77202136Good luck bro! I’ve been in the insurance industry for 12 years, it’s a great place to work.
Plan on getting some mental help tomorrow kinda big step wish me luck
>>77204289Thanks. About to do the final interview in 10 minutes. Will let you know how it goes.
>>77204289Got the job. I'm getting background check and a temp license.
Bros, I just did a pistol squat. It was kinda scuffed but the other leg didn't help. Did it with both legs just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.Could never do that before in my life. I'm kinda psyched about it.
>>77202847go back to the base logic for it:you are alive. therefore you don't quite want to be dead right nowif you are to keep going, you might as well live the most interesting life you can come up withit doesn't matter who you were or what you did. nor what you think shall be, or your ideas of how things workyou can, right now, simply decide you are a different person. an ideal self. and live like that dude wouldit doesn't matter if you don't feel like it right now or how you can't enjoy or find sense on anything. decide you do. nowlive as if you did. take the bullshit out. work on your mind to actually feel it (eventually)nothing stops you from suddenly changing and living like you want, or like that super-man you think you should become does. nothing forces you to stay like that, care about your feelings, care about being sad or hollow or anythingit's all youdecide and live like you have control and take the decisions, because it's simply the truthjust get creative if you can't seem to do it as isJust like some find they get motivation larping as cartoon characters, or thinking of lifting cars off their mom helps them lift more weight, find what makes you stop being a bitchmaybe it's doing a solid for yourself thinking about you in third person, rather than (You)If "you" had done that for you before, you'd be doing better, right? So help a nigga outyou hate (you) but that's because your mind is fucked. So? cheat and hack your mindMMORPG larping works for some. Others use heroes of myth. some try doing stuff for their future kids or helping their community by being at their best to begin withYou don't need to think and behave as you do/are used to or how you think stuff works. You don't hate yourself but what you do, feel, did, fears, weakness, shortcomings, etc. Put two and two together and figure out your own shitI suggest drinking from philos that take the seriousness and ego-individual mindset out of living, like Daoism and Zen Buddhism
>>77204865Holy shit, gg!What was your routine to get there and for how long did you struggle for it?
Getting any sleep at all is so hard. My brain just thinks about all the stuff I fucked up in the last 10 years and even if I force myself to not think at all it doesnt fucking help
>>77203670No, you don't
>>77202315How did you stop wagecucking?
>>77205276thank you friend>routinerecently its all bodyweight. did variations building up to it like close squats, 1 leg assist, and also kettlebell swings. I’ve been losing a little weight too just cause I’ve been getting a bit too high in bf%. I’ve found that exercising at home I’m able to keep myself more accountable, just personal preference you can definitely go to the gym and probably see faster leg gains.>how long I been strugglinghard to answer. I started getting /fit/ around 5 years ago but its been on and off. some years I’ll be dedicated and keep a routine, some I’ll get depressed for a while and lose progress. I’ve been putting in serious effort for about a month, less serious effort a few months before that. but I never started from truly zero.
