WAGMI

Hookup apps are actually working better than dating apps. Even saw a chick from pornhub amateur section there.

Based. Was waiting for this thread to pop up. I usually just soak in the good vibes. I guess I’ll share something.

Started working out again. Sore all over, I love it. More than anything, I’m finding it fun again. When it turns into a chore is when I stop. So I’ll keep it fun to make sure I never stop doing some kind of exercise every day.

I found in my case that the best antidote to feeling lousy is getting up early. I don’t love it, but I feel good for the rest of the day when I do it. That’s in part because when I get up early I also do things I like before work; so it’s actually a bunch of wins early in the day, instead of just the win of getting up early.

If I get up late, I rush to work and feel like shit the rest of the day in general terms. When I get out of work I’m so run-down that I don’t do any of the aforementioned things I like to do.

It doesn’t sound healthy to say “I feel bad about myself unless I feel like I’m doing something right”. But I think that’s actually okay unless I’m on vacation or supposed to be resting or something like that.

I know I have intrinsic value. But I will feel guilty unless, like I said, I do things that feel “correct” or “productive”. I know I’ll figure it out.

Thanks for this.

This is a page from Louis L'amours planner. Apparently L'Amour was dedicated to fitness and worked out every day,. I really like this method of keeping yourself on track; write it down snd mark it off

Back again, folks. New week, same goals.
>wife's butthole: any%
>treadmill until abs
>big eating, little lifting
Waitaminit...

Had a great weekend of social and family gains that was unfortunately centered around eating and drinking. Zero sex. Expensive-ass restaurant date with the wife, no less than 3 parties. Very little physical activity. Leftovers, man, we got piles of baked goods and meat - I don't think I'll be cooking at all this week.

But I think that's it for the season! Summer should be easy, relative hermit mode. I'm nowhere near abs for the pool, but I'm thinner than I was a few months ago, and certainly thinner than I've averaged for the last decade+.

And last night I dreamed of pulling my dick out of my wife's pussy, kind of rubbing up it and down on the whole snatch, and then probing her ass with the tip. I think I have to try soon, boys. This may be excessive of me, but I might map out my goals for the next half-dozen sexual encounters so that I know I'm progressing her towards it.

I said months ago I'd make a real try for it this summer. Well, summer is upon me.

Gotta lock in for interviews over the next 2 weeks. Also need to start hitting the gym.

I just passed my final exam and I'm officially an MD. As a semi-retarded bottom-1/3-scoring 32 yo., this is my greatest accomplishment.
WAGMI and yes, that means *you* in particular as well. Godspeed in your paths and try not to get hung up on the trivial shit.

>>77335145
Hey man, you got some letterhead for writing scrips yet?

Congrats, though! And now you know what they call the guy that almost failed out of med school: Doctor.

I am the 25 year old vagabond.

Last week I was on edge, then I had several interviews lined up at once after that post I made. Now I am still on edge because nothing has been finalized and my savings continue to dwindle, but I have 3 active leads, 2 of which I interviewed for and 1 of which seemed highly promising based on how remote the city is which means fewer expat teachers would wanna work there. I hope I score it so I can start earning again.

I continue to lift harder and eat better than I ever have.

>>77335155
Sorry but what are you saying here first? (I wasn't kidding about the retardedness fr)

Thank you so much man, only so many can turn a 6 year long study into a 7 1/2 year long study :^) funny that you mention it I told my mom the same joke like 10 mins before walking in the exam hall. The best thing about it is that patients don't know which doctors are "my" kind and who's the "oh I took a master's in coding alongside this teehee :)"

Your turn brother, what's your goals and how's the progress going?

>>77334910
Isn't hookup apps just Tinder? I gave up on Tinder because of that very reason. No one wanted anything serious.

>>77334746
Well, my Monday workout was shit.
>push day
>leave my shit on the bench to get a paper towel to wipe it down
>come back 10 seconds later to see some tall balding dyel has put my stuff on the floor
>wtf dude
>"Huh I wanna use the bench"
>I here first
>"Huh you wanna start something"
>don't touch my stuff
>"Huh you wanna do something bro"
>Say fuck it move a bench to the rack next to him and bench 3plates while he's benching 180

Was I in the wrong here? I feel like I cucked out, but what else was I supposed to do? I'm 210lbs/95kg and I bench 350 for a 1RM (375 if I bulk to 225), I've done combat sports, but I'm in my mid-30s and getting in gym fights feels retarded.

It's been rocky on the health front lately. I've made the commitment to start truly working on myself again little over a month, but lately it's been starting to slump.

Good things:
>had a nice, restful weekend trip
>did an intense hike during said trip
>about 1kg down over 1 month, but I can see that recomp (fat loss & muscle growth) is definitely part of it

Bad things:
>chaotic few weeks with the trip + renovations made me fall off my workout regimen a bit
>The trip erased 2 weeks of calorie deficit
>haven't been able to succesfully kick the smoking habit (not too fussed about this, since I'll be forced to soon)
>sleep hygiene is pretty far down from where I'd like it to be (6 hours tops, most days).

It's starting to be summer again. I'm lucky to have a lot of celebrations, activities and get-togethers planned, but it kind of irks me that I'll have less time available for rigorous eating and working out. To me, it feels like a constant 'falling off the horse and having to hoist myself up on its back again'. I need to try and reframe this for myself, and focus on the few inches in front of me.

First things first, heading to the gym right now. Hoping to get 4 sessions in this week, even if some of them would be short.

Great week. Started building the new app for goal tracking that's also kinda based on building Systems Over Goals, something Scott Adams preached. I was able to build out a functionable local version for under $2 worth of code by focusing on intentionally writing out all the requirements and also mixing in bug fixes with new features (which is probably a bad idea) and then learning to fix minor bugs on my own. It would be awesome if I could somehow ship this for under $5. The other app is chugging along in "testing", should be in production by next week. Finished the power bi course. Absolutely killed it at a golf practice sessions. Everything just clicked. Did not pick up reading again.

Overall great week. Interview is Wednesday, excited and ready for that. Had a rare good day at work but that just kinda cemented how bad things are. Finally made it to confession. Did some small projects around the house which always feels nice. dragged my ass on my runs but got them done.

Goals this week - crush the interview, release first app on android, get a basic functional mobile version of new app finished. also want to try not using podcasts as a crutch to fall asleep but might wait until after the interview

an intense hike is easily 2000kcal consumed, how did you manage to eat enough in two days to offset both that and two weeks worth of dieting?

1% closer to her butthole every day

Started the last week with 79.1 kg, stayed pretty stable around that weight. Was 79.3 kg this morning. The past two months I was hovering between 80-82 kg so it's nice to finally go down a bit again.
Also finally starting to understand my body again. Before I started my weight loss last year, every little tummyrumble was a sign to hit the toilet. I couldn't even eat stuff in a restaurant without obliterating their porcelaine thrones shortly after I finished eating. Now I can actually feel the shit and can guess how long it takes before I have to take a shit. I also usually take a dump in the morning and maybe one in the evening when two years ago taking 5-8 shits a day was normal for me.
It's an insane feeling, even though it sounds so cringey now that I read it.

my new years resolution was to bang two redheads, her hair was dyed ginger but i'm gonna count it.

One year left in my job contract that I moved to a very depressing rural area for alone. No friends, everyone in my small town is miserable including me, and most of my coworkers see me as a city slicker and hate me. Trying to keep going despite this but fuck it’s hard. I just need to tough out this year and secure my next move. Going home in a few days for a wedding and im not sure if that’ll make things better or worse. Also just got off an anti-anxiety med I’ve been taking for over a year and that’s fucking me up.

I will not let the rot consume me.

I meant prescriptions, lol. Hook a brother up with some doctor's orders T, yo.

I WILL SOCIALIZE EVERY WEEKEND
I WILL GROW STRONGER IN THE GYM
I WILL CONTINUE TO GROW MENTALLY HEALTHIER

I’ve been doing well in terms of going out every weekend. I think I can safely say I’ve made a single friend, which is pretty impressive. I want to continue putting myself out there. I want to form more human connections so that I’m more longer alone or dependent on one person. Moving forward, I want to sign up for skate classes (eventually learn how to play hockey) and buy a secondhand bass. I need to continue putting myself out there so I can improve socially.

I had a really shitty day benching. I hope it was just a bad day and not a sign that I’m growing weaker. Right now I’m using a P/P/L split but I’m going to research different training schedules. I still want to believe that one day I’ll be able to bench 3pl8. Starting in July I’ll commit to a new training schedule as well as a slight bulk. I wish I could find a /fit/ approved personal trainer in my area, I’d really appreciate having coaching. But for the time being I have to believe that I’ll grow a little stronger every week.

Good luck this week frens! Keep moving forward no matter the speed. WAGMI!

>>77335203
You did the right thing. Losers throw everything away. Little guys like that will make a huge fuss knowing you won’t start shit because it’s not worth it. It works until they try it with someone who’s actually insane. Chads know when and where to push and don’t waste time with idiots.

A man who conquers his temper is better than the man who conquers a city.

>>77335203
To add on to >>77335496, you're paying to use that gym. Go complain about him to management. Obviously don't fight him there in the moment, that's not your responsibility.

>>77335496
I mean, I can't say he's little. He wasn't muscular or strong, but he was like 6'4. Maybe he thinks that's enough to bully people or maybe he does some MMA and thinks he's hot shit. I'm so tired of retards.

>>77335505
I doubt they'd do anything even if I felt it was a good idea to complain. I warned them several times about a damaged hook on the smith machine and they never fixed it. Someone will inevitably get injured. The desk people are just 20-somethings that are collecting a paycheck while gossiping.

>>77334944
Welcome aboard! As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized the importance of finding fun in the process. You’re powerful for waking up early, I need to stay up late to feel human.

>>77334959
That’s a really organized way of taking notes. I need to improve my system of recording my lifts and tasks

Today's lifts
>Bench 3x5 @ 245lb
>Incline bench 3x11
>DB rows 4x8 topped out at the 125 db
>Face pulls
Business as usual mostly, down another 1.5lbs on the scale from last week, I can still 5 rep the bench at that weight but it's getting harder
12is the heaviest dumbbell at my gym, happy to finally be getting substantial sets with it
Also first time since I acked my back a month ago that I felt no pain there during an entire workout, tomorrow is legs and rdls though so I'll probably feel it then
WAGMI

>>77335621
*125* is the heaviest at my gym, I don't go to curves ffs

>>77334996
Social gains are important, don’t neglect them. If you really want abs, you can always try now

>>77335601
Don't report it to the desk-nobodies, lol. They're just going to call you Karen behind your back. You need a higher up. And you need the complaint on their record in case he actually tries to start shit.

>>77335020
Good luck bro! Remember to rehearse questions and use the star tactic. Also prepare questions for the end of the interview

>>77335802
Thanks Bro. Felt like I killed it in today's interview, but only time will tell. I'll be sure to make up some more questions. All the ones I had in mind got answered by the interview itself.

Last week i woke up at 4am for gym for one week straight. This week i have missed two days in a row because i slept like a baby. Which is kinda ok i guess since i used to struggle to fall asleep because of depression. But i dont want to miss tomorrow too so im going to bed early tonight

>>77335145
Don't downplay your accomplishment, you're incredible for becoming an MD! Stand proud!
WAGMI! I'll remember those words and won't falter

>>77335157
So it sounds like your life is improving, Vegabond. Keep working hard and dreaming. You chose to live previously, now keep choosing it

started leg days again today after a health scare made me drop them a while back. doing shit like Bulgarian ss and hip thrusts which I've never done before so was a little embarassing to get going and also gassed out very easily but atleast I have an idea of form for next week. wagmi

>>77335203
You made the right choice avoiding conflict. How do you get your bench so strong? I'm mirin' hard

>>77335220
Sounds like you're making progress, even if it it's small. Try to create a routine that's flexible enough that you still have the freedom for other parts of your life. It'll take a while but you'll find success. Good luck!

>>77335237
Congrats on your app! When it's finished, plug it on /sig/ so we can begin using it. Good luck on your interview as well! Discussing building an app will definitely impress them

>>77336141
I don't really have any secret. Lots of weighed dips and incline bench as supplementary lifts.

>>77336214
thanks, good luck to you too!

What works for me (compared to previous attempts) is
>1. closely logging progress
>2. starting off just doing lifts I like
>3. aiming on visiting the gym every weekday, aiming for 40 minutes.

The first two really help game-ifying going to the gym. I was dreading doing a 'real' full programme because I can't really be bothered doing face pulls and toe raises every single week (yet), so I'm just enjoying my running, deadlifts and bench presses for the time being. The third point helps because going to the gym after-work has become a habit. It also helps to know that whenever I miss a day, I still did 4 sessions that week. I used to do PPL for grueling 1+ hour sessions, thrice a week, and always lost interest after a few months. This seems to stick better.

>>77335474
>I WILL SOCIALIZE EVERY WEEKEND
>I’ve been doing well in terms of going out every weekend.
This is incredible from my view. As someone who hates the idea, what do you even do?

>>77335243
Congrats on defeating your ibs! You’re making progress in your life

Stay strong bro! You must endure the remaining year, but better times await. View the wedding as a happy occasion, a preview of what’ll come next in your life. The fire inside you will burn so much brighter than the rot around you. Good luck and don’t feel afraid of reaching out to others for support!

Good week so far

>Made extra principal payment on mortgage,
>Increased bench 10lbs yesterday. I stopped lifting for a few weeks and restarted bench at 95lbs, yesterday was 135 and felt good/comfy at 3x8
>Meal prep on Sunday is paying off - diet has been good so far this week. Eating enough. Goal is to hit 170lbs, I wake up at 160lbs currently.

The rest of the week goals...
>1 full day no THC (maybe today)
>1 full day no caffeine (possibly this weekend)

I've been feeling good mentally, but I struggle a bit when it comes to my marriage and life in general. Sometimes it becomes overwhelming, I have severe existential grief.

I was sexually abused when I was young (by much older women, not men), and then as I got older I was burdened by responsibility. By 16 I was paying my parents bills, by 18 I had started a "career"; I tried to go to college, but my dad got cancer so I had to drop out to resume paying all my parents bills, taking him to his appointments, while working full-time. I basically didn't get any of the formative experiences from age 14-15 onward.

Then at age 21 I met the girl I'd eventually marry. She was the first girl I was with in like a year, though she was actively dating people prior to us meeting. We got together and became very close very quickly, moved in after like 3 months, got pregnant shortly after that. It's all worked out - we're in our early 30s, we have a few mill in the bank, a paid off house, high income, a big family (4 kids so far), great relationship together too - she is still banging and super submissive.

Despite this, I ruminate on my missed experiences and still crave days of unrestricted freedom, exploration, partying, travel, casual sex. It is the devil in my ear, but the voice seems to only grow louder the more successful and accomplished I become.

At the start of the year, I was 38 years, 6'5", 285 lbs, sedentary, constant pain from prior back and knee injuries, homebody, zero social life, and was considering suicide.
As of this month, I'm 39, 6'5", 240 lbs, 1/2/3/4 pl8, do regular hiking/rucking, greatly reduced pain, budding social and dating life (both online and off), new hobbies, light traveling, and glad I gave life another chance.

Congrats on lifting that much on a cut, you’re crazy strong! Keep moving forward, you’ll reach your goal eventually

Great job bro! You did the best you can, now the result is up to fate

Going to try and write more. I've got a ton of ideas that I've been hanging onto for years but have done nothing with. A lot of dumb pulpy ones but some Ive grown attached to. I just want to get them out there

Waiting to hear back on my largest project proposal yet for my business. Now, Hadn't heard back in a week, probably dead, but I can find new clients.
Honing in on 10% bodyfat finally, been able to gain a bit of strength despite the cut.
Went to a stylist to style my long hair and women are treating me humanely when I hit them up in public. Want to get to 10%bf and 195lbs and start swooping honeys.
Never give up lads, WAGMI

>>77335856
I hope you went! Sleep is important so you should find a way to balance both sleep and exercise

Just a weird thing I did. I have suffered with bloat for a while despite not drinking much beer, soda, acids or eating junkfood. My doctor asked about chewing gum and I chew almost all the time. 30 days today with no gum and it completely fixed my bloat. It's insane.

>>77336098
Don’t feel discouraged, you’re doing these exercises for the first time! Mastering your form is way more important than lifting heavy weights. Keep at it and gains will come. WAGMI!
