I fucking did it lads. Two gfs. God, the second date with the second person was amazing. She's just so perfect.

>>77391529
Congrats on your dates but don’t be a two timer. Pick one

got tired of being a wagecuck, or dare I say goyboy, so a buddy and I are trying to start a business cooking. he does BBQ and I do pastries. Got really autistically into cinnamon rolls and now I'm making roll variations such as a peanutbutter chocolate roll and strawberry cheesecake roll.
also started playing Star Wars the Old Republic online. super cool!
waiting on God's providence is hard. you have to remember the Hebrews wandering the desert for 40 years. they received manna daily that would spoil if they tried to keep it - a reminder to wait on God daily to provide.
oh, also bought some egg whites! been drinking them for low calorie, cheap protein. super cool too!

Today's lifts
>Bench 5x5 pyramid 205 225 245
>DB rows 3x9
>Pushdowns 4x15
>Face pulls 4x15
Same routine as always because I don't like change
The cut killed my squat and deadlift months ago, now I think it's finally coming for my bench, just barely got that 5th rep at 245, same thing happened friday :(
Grip strength on the rows is improving noticeably however, left arm (my weak side) got all 3 sets without failing which is a first at this weight

>>77391603
Both know, both are okay with it. One is a five year relationship and another isn’t looking for anything too serious.

>>77391652
Anon, how do you feel about them two timing you? Cause even if they don't admit to it, I guarantee they are and as soon as they find someone better that wants exclusivity, they're gonna bail on you. Value yourself more than this.

>>77391658
Don't be jealous

>>77391658
Yes, obliviously they’re free to do their thing too. You can’t expect exclusivity in an open thing or from a fwb.
Aight, I’m off for an std test, that’s the prerequisite for going bareback with the new person.

>>77391658
Or people are okay with non-exclusivity, anon.

>>77391448
I'm off to a rough start. Third week in a row that I keep getting patellar subluxation on knee extensions. Our gym has s PT regular who is really nice and gives free tips and shit, spoke to him and he said that it just happens with some people. Something about the groove just not being rigid enough to hold it in place under heavy load... It's a bummer, i really love leg extensions, nothing gets that burn im the quads like them. I really fucking hate knee sleeves and k-tape... It's either get used to those or just try to go harder on everything else. That's life but I'm trying to not let it get me down.
>>77391660

>>77391663
I've just seen this a lot and it's pretty much never a sustainable or healthy thing. But hey, it's y'all's life & time, it's yours to waste. I just want better for people.

Doing a big cut for my wedding, it's going well do far.
I want a jaw that can cut glass in those pictures.

>>77391669
>Better
That really depends on the point of view. If I decide I want kids, then things might change.

>>77391613
Good luck on your business! Running your own store is a lot of work but you will escape dependence on your boss. God helps those who help themselves so keep working on. Eventually you’ll receive his blessings

WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT BRAHS

I start a job in couple days. I'm both a bit excited and a bit frightened. When I was younger and more immature I could have bailed out but today I know better. I have to pause lifting until I know how actually physical the job is, I don't wanna be sore from the start. Also hang in there. Two weeks ago I would never have guessed I'd have such an opportunity. It's like love at the first sight but with a job.

>>77391764
thanks anon, I appreciate the positive words :)

>>77391448
Got me a little cardio machine under the desk, used it 25 minutes today, working out again later
Had a job interview earlier, went well
Should finish my bachelor's degree in a year or two
Hoping to finish a technician certification in the meantime
May or may not end up without an apartment next year because my friend is moving and I don't know anyone else, won't be able to make the income requirements despite being able to pay rent
Feeling alright

>>77391529
lmao cuck

>>77391448
Happy Monday, folks. New week, mostly the same goals:
>buttsex
>abs
>any kind of goddam exercise

Back still fucking hurts. Didn't stop me from giving the wife the ol' roger-roger during the sexcation, but it did limit options. Didn't try for anything extra - was just happy to be doing the deed.

Will try and get the treadmill going again this week, low speed and no incline, see how that goes. Sitting down at the desk for a whole week was tiresome.

Omad has maybe been working? It's only 2 weeks in. I did find out the foot on my scale was busted, so who fucking knows how much I actually weigh now. New scale in the mail, won't be too hard on myself as I re-establish numbers.

Going to get back to it, whatever I'm actually able to do. Abs won't come in before the pool closes for the year, but I could get close if I just keep plodding on.

WAGMI

>>77391631
A 245 bench on a cut is still pretty impressive. Dont get discouraged by struggling. You’re going to have to make sacrifices in order to achieve your goal

>>77391448
i just want my shoulder and knee to fix. was doing dips today, sharp pain at both of my shoulders. will rest my upper body for 2 days. even then, i'll make it.

>>77391669
That’s the spirit! Don’t get too discouraged, there are ways to get around the pain. What’s important is that you’re addressing it now

>>77391687
Good luck on your cut! Everyone will be mirin’ you by the big day

Great Week Last Week
Time to make this one even better.

A few weeks ago I posted about how a lady ghosted me on the day of my second date which sucks and all but slowly it caused me to realize so much more about how I perceive stuff and decided it was high time to stop holding the grudges I have held to find the true love in myself. So I wrote every name of people that pissed me off in the pass or did something and simply wrote I forgave them. Turned into probably one of the best decisions I have made. Not truly forgiving the fucked shit but allowing myself to come to peace with it.

Lifts were great and I am moving different at the gym just talking to random ass people trying to make my house a home you know?

I think we are all gonna make it

>>77392384
The trick is to stop using the word "me" in your thoughts at all. Nobody cares, why should you. Obsessing over yourself and those grudges is just taking on weight you self-impose. Why? It's all shit. Treat people well, if they don't respond with the same, move on to other people.
Come here to call people incels or jeets when the rage boils over.

>>77391848
Focus on the excitement part! There’s more to life than lifting. If this job is truly your dream, then you’ll face obstacles at first. But eventually you’ll figure it out. Good luck!

all my goals for last week were derailed by our fucking HOA sending a notice during the most humid part of the year that the deck needs to get stained. Prepped for it all week and then it fucking rained. barely studied for power bi, did get golf in. made no tweaks to the other app because i burned through all my tokens.

we're going through IVF now, i should be jacking off into a cup later this week.

goals - dont kms

i also just stained half the deck. feels good.

>>77392607
I mean, you couldn't tell them it's in the works? What kind of HOA is this that you have to act so quickly?

>>77391931
So it sounds like you’re on the right track. Continue moving forward, your life will improve! Have you asked any of your other friends to see if they’re looking for a place to live?

Smoked my last cig today and already have quit drinking so things are looking up.

>>77391448
Well it’s me, guy with the Horse Girl lady friend. Things are going really well
>goes to the gym and tracks her macros
>works with kids on the spectrum and the mentally disabled as her job.
>FANTASTIC Cook and baker.
>Respects me and my wishes.
>her friends like me based on what she’s said to them
>her church lady friends like me cause I’m able to lift stuff for them when they feed the homeless (they go to some site and do it, not at some facility).
>now to see if her sister like me (as a person). If I don’t offend her sister (she lives with her) or majorly fuck up, I’m her BF, her words.

She deleted all photos or reels of her exes. Blocked+removed them from her Social Media. Keep in mind We’re not even BF/GF
Yes this is the same one who’s been with 5ish guys and recommitted to chastity during her last relationship. Unlike OrthoBro, I don’t think this one is fishing for a SIMP/golden retriever.
So far, no red flags being thrown. I don’t think her faith &religiousity is performative as it’s not been recent. her church stuff has been going on for a year.
Like I said, Horse Girl goes to feed the homeless every Sunday with the church ladies (they’re all in their 70’s-80). They make little meals and non perishable bags for the homeless w/no social media about it.
It’s kind of sad though that in her church service, she’s the youngest (she’s 23) besides one of the 40 year olds daughter.

OTOH
>bar studying is kicking my ass

>>77392788
Call me when she gives you the ol'
>condition stable

But I guess good on you sir. The recommitted to chastity thing weirds me out, but if it works for you... How many girls have you been with, ya know, biblically?

>>77392808
I’m a Volcel chief. I could have banged my first GF, but a big voice loud as thunder told me “THIS IS NOT THE ONE”. It was also confirmed that this “MILF” (read, 35 but I’m 28, so not really) also REALLY wanted my sneed but her kid is NINE. And the dad is in the kids life so that’s hella awkward.
Dudes on here were bashing me calling me le cuck but I can tell she’s actually meaningfully changed.
I was with a virgin once. She still hasn’t kissed ANY guy as far as I know. She was a bit… STRANGE.

>>77392883
Aight. I'm not going to judge. If you think she'll make you happy, by all means, go be happy. If you think she'll make you happy.

I WILL CONTINUE TO GROW STRONGER
I WILL SUCCEED IN THIS JOB
I WILL LAND A BETTET ROLE NEXT SPRING

Yesterday I had a stellar workout! I finally benched 240 for 5 reps! I think I’ve figured out the winning formula of Korean barbecue and energy drinks. I also OHPed 155 for 7 reps. It was the best workout I’ve had in a long time. Unfortunately, I slept poorly, so I’ll have to do it again this week. I had a lot of fun learning how to skate. I want to improve so that eventually I can join a beer league team.

Even though I’ve begun using the CFA designation, none of my clients have commented on it. I guess everything is business to them. Q2 reporting has begun so work is piling up again. I’m stressed but need to focus hard. I’ve completed numerous filings, I have the knowledge to succeed. I need to reduce my stress levels as well as find balance in my life to achieve happiness.

Good luck in your pursuits frens! Don’t be afraid of taking a new paths on the road to success! WAGMI

>>77392080
You’ll make it in due time. For the time being, give your body the recover it needs. The gains will come soon

Took all tests, STDs and test hormonal panel, look like an IV junkie, off to lift. Never lifted after being drained, should stick to the machines probably.

>>77392968
I would argue if you don't try, you do not win or lose as you have no stake in the game.

>>77392668
they gave us a month and it's the worst month of weather to plan around for deck staining. i should have just told them to fuck off for a few months but i needed an actual project.

>>77391995
Good luck on getting your wife’s butthole! You may not achieve abs based on your timeline, but you can grow sexier at your own pace

>>77392396
Not that anon but thanks for the advice. I think too much of myself

>>77391613
SWTOR is kino as fuck, it's like the only star wars thing left that isn't owned by disney and Star Wars fans are so fanatic and proliferating that I don't think that game will ever have service discontinued. Graphics are pretty good too for how old it is. I used to play but my backlog got stupid long so I had to take a break.

>>77393788
Undersocialized people often do. It's ok, anon.

>>77392384
That’s part of the AA process. We need to identify those who have wronged us and move on. Good job socializing. A lot of people are lonely and want to be interacted with.

We’re all gonna make it

Hi anons, I'm the guy in the last thread who said he's aiming to becoming a philandering womanizing bastard player from scratch after a lifetime of inkwelldom.

I have slowly started trying to extend myself more in common everyday interactions by manually smiling with customer service or cashiers, being just a touch more friendly and warm, and it's slowly starting to shift something. Baby steps as I improve my social skills, and I'll soon be hitting the pavement to really mack at these hoes, as the pimps would say. I will be directing all 110% of my efforts and focus onto my dating life specifically now, no other real focus besides just fitness and whatever I can extract from bitches outside of sex. This is a skill, a ruthless skill, and i shall succeed. I apparently have a cute face, but as a wise pimp said, looking good ain't good enough. Nevertheless, it's a tool to be utilized, alongside my growing v taper and muscles and style.

Perhaps I'm far less intelligent than I think, or perhaps smarter men come up with the most insane rationalizations, but I even shed some light on why I'm going this route. The truth is, I love whores more than anything, especially given how whores have a comparatively higher level of empathy to regular trifling foids. And so I wish to level up my game to peak level, combining the le toxic manipulator manwhore dark arts alongside looksmaxxing (the precious floozies do seem to like a man who's easy on the eyes and even seem to appreciate appearances more than regular bitches who are stuck up) so as to be able to loop in whores and play out my delusional love stories with them. Truly, I think I could only ever love a ran through whore. One with big boobs ideally. I've met more than a few that meet this description. They offer me an almost maternal yet sexually charged comfort, an easygoing vibe that meets a man halfway rather than demand he extend himself first, something I'd been starved of forever as a sensitive young man.

Today's lifts
>Pause squats 4x5
>RDLs 4x8
>lunges 2x20
>leg raises 2x20
First time ever trying pause squats, worked my way up to 255 on the last set, had to cheat the pauses a little on that, I'll probably park at 245 as my work weight
Not gonna do full weight squats again until I'm done cutting, have heard that getting good at pause squats will help the standard squats though

I feel totally unmotivated

>>77392607
Stay strong! You’ll escape your role and have a kid eventually. What’s important is that you keep trying and learning

Hi friends, two wins for this week
>walking home
>run into woman who used to go to my gym
>she's older, bigger, walks her dog in the neighborhood
>we'd sometimes use the squat rack so we'd greet each other
>run into her last week
>she says "wow anon looking huuuge"
>don't feel huge, but filing that away and treasuring it
and also
>hit 205lb in bench for the first time
>945lb total ORM for the big three

>>77391995
yeah abs are not happening for me either analbro. no sex here for the last two weeks and her surgery is tomorrow so probably no sex for at least a week after but at least i wont be jerking off after tomorrow.

>>77392782
Good job! The future is only going to get better. You’ll hit bumps but aim for consistent improvement

>>77394262
In my experience, it's not really a problem as long as you're still able to put that aside when an opportunity presents itself. Besides motivation, what are you having problems with?

had to put one of my dogs down yesterday, had a tumor in his skull. got him a steak, took him for a walk, and stayed strong until he was gone. gunna go lift soon.

>>77393190
What matters is that you’re lifting. Some of our greatest moments are just showing up

>>77394262

Who cares? Do the work anyway.

I'm rooting against you, for what it's worth

>>77393815
Thanks. I regret not socializing more but I’m trying harder now

I know exactly what needs to be done but I have no idea how to do it.

This has happened before and I was able to figure it out then but I feel different this time; probably because some of the problems I'm facing are far greater but even the small ones are stumping me.

I just don't know how to break through this ([{but if I did I'd write a book about it and make bank}])

What the FUCK am I suppose to do for a career? I fucked up working in corporate years ago with poor work ethic and ghosting. I've looked at
>getting an associates in radiology tech
>applying for apprenticeship at union
>reskill and try to go back to corporate
What else is there? Don't really want to do the healthcare route because I'd only be in it for the money and not worth the stress cause I'm not passionate about helping people. The union apprenticeship is swamped with applicants so I doubt I'd even get in, I applied two years and never got called.

>>77396898
Radiology for sure. You’ll make bank eventually.

>>77396898
You can do radiology at an andrology clinic, nobody dies there

>>77396898
Here's my example:
>BC in CS
>10 years in gamedev
>Zero career prospects, zero savings, culture like in a yogurt someone forgot in the fridge for a year
>looking at getting a direct-to-masters in something like nursing

Finally regaining some love for lifting after getting diagnosed with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome and declaring it a futile endeavour a few years ago. I'm never gonna have a particularly impressive physique, but I can always do better.

Just need to figure out wtf I'm doing with the rest of my life. Finishing up my studies at the end of this year, no job lined up and absolutely no interest in doing a PhD even though my current research supervisor says I should.

Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.

Clean for STDs and hormones came back okay-ish. Test at 18,66 nmol/L, still waiting for free test.
LH and Prolaktin are high, 10,4 U/L and 418 mU/L respectively, don't know what's up with that.

>>77394247
It’s your first time doing pause squats, of course it won’t go perfectly. Keep trying, you’ll get the hang of them
