It's the start of the week again, take a deep breath in, hold it and exhaleWere you thinking of giving up today? No you weren't. You made it through last week, you'll make it through this one as wellWhat are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.Take a deep breath, hold it and exhale, move at your own paceWe're ALL gonna make itThe motivation thread is open
>>77527978I have a slight cold so I did none of my cardio sessions last week, only lifting and the one judo session. I think this week will end up being the same, can't quite shake the sore throat. Therefore, my fitness goals for this week are ULUL with the core lifts only and one judo class.Later today I'm seeing a priest to talk about my mental stuff, and I'm getting some feedback from a great girl in my church about why she thinks I'm single. I understand that my mental dip is momentary and that it comes from actually beginning to feel my feelings, because I am making progress in general. The last five years have seen clear progress in my life and I'm in a way better place now than I was then. I wish I were younger and that I never had to go through this shit in the first place. But, God willing, I'll always have swimming.
>sore hamstrings lasts days after leg day>usually until next leg day>I basically have sore hammies most days of the week>still don't skip on cardio>just power through itWe're all gonna WAGMI it
>>77527991what's judo like?I've been thinking of giving it a go
>>77528012Powering through doms and cramps after a leg day during sex is a completely unique feeling
>>77528019I've only been twice as an adult but it's fun as fuck and afterwards I sleep better than after any cardio session. It's also the only physical contact I get and I fucking need it.
>>77528038>It's also the only physical contact I get and I fucking need it.copping cheeky feels are ya
Going to work for 2 months, weight loss has been going well. Went to a pumpkin patch yesterday with my nephew and sister. Had some apple cider, some fall sweet treats (pumpkin blondies rule) and got all that out of my system. Woke up at 0430, an hour before my alarm, and got my pull day + hangboard workout done before the sun came up. Now to just finish packing all my workout stuff and get on a plane. Hotel room workouts and humping 50+ loads day in and day out for the next two or so months. The weight loss keeps going as long as I stay consistent. Very happy and excited to see how it goes. The wallet could use some fattening while the stomach gets smaller. When I get back I’ll be flush with cash and ready for good rock climbing, ice climbing and snowboarding.
>>77527978New week, same goals:>wife's butthole, any%>treadmill until abs>big lifting, little eatingDecent little weekend. Had a lot of me time to work on my hobbies, engaged in decent (vanilla) relations with the missus, managed not to do my usual step backwards after a week of two steps forward.Life progresses. Still trying, etc. I took up a hobby over the summer that eats up a lot of my day, prevents me from hitting as much treadmill as I know I need to make the progress I want. think I'm going to have to put it down awhile.
>>77527978>can finally do dips as an obese fatty >still struggled with even one pull upI am progressing, but getting that one pull up takes a long ass time.On another note, being fat really makes you lose sense of what a normal weight is. I lost 11kg, and only realize that I need to lose another 16kg more to be normal.
mfw I don't get sunday scaries because I'm looking forward to benching
hugbox thread
>>77528144Having a tall redhead trying to flip me over and pin me down is by far enough for me.
>>77527991I got a sore throat too I think with the temp dipping near me it's just getting everyone kinda sick. >>77527978I am going to lift normally this week, extend the dog walks further as the temp dropped so my dog won't be dying as much in the heat. I will ask my gf to give me her yoga poses to start stretching more cause my mobility is fucking trash
last week was good. fixed our washing machine, got my regular workouts going, got into the office by 10 most days. things are better with wife now. had to resubmit my app so that's kind of a drag. but it's in a good spot. i think it'll be launched by October and now i have time to work on other stuff. did well on limiting gaming but also just didn't have the time anyway. studied a bit on certs goals this week: continue to push v1 out the door, marketing for existing app, get on the study bus again. goal is to do one cert a month just need to find one to knock out quick. going to challenge myself to get my PMP by end of October. wagmialso fuck this verification shit if it's going to keep being like this idk how much longer im gonna post
>>77528158Good luck in this role! You sound determined, so you’ll definitely succeed. Work hard now so you can enjoy the future :)
>>77527978Work is finally winding down after next weekend, so that's something good. This weekend I go spend it with the girlfriend and finally resting in her arms and having sex. Weighing food and trying to get back to the gym slowly. September is tough but I am tougher. WAGMI boys
>>77527978>school going well>new apartment mostly furnished, feeling like a home now>going to tons of local events>played first match ever, didn't do well obviously but still had fun>under 200lbs for the first time in almost a decadeOnly problem is dating. I've gone on a couple dates but they always end up ghosting. Tried the dreaded dating app for a couple weeks which didn't work of course. I think there's just something fundamentally wrong with me, so I guess I just have to accept that I'm dying alone. Plenty of time for work and hobbies so that's nice I suppose.
>>77527991>>77528348Where do you anons live? I am in SE USA and also have the sore throatitis. Same symptoms as illness I had midsummer. That lasted like a week bc I Tried to cheat in regular lift program which clearly exacerbated it and made it last longer. Figure second time around should be ez pz for me but maybe u anons should take it easy. Some walks or light weights, lest you put yourself out for longer.Did a Sunday roon yesterday and it sucked except for the>fresh air >sun>pleasant weatherHope sickanons get healthy soon and everyone else meets a good week :3333
>>77527978Finally did 2x10 bench with 40kg dumbells. That has been a long time goal. Next week I’ll do the full 3x10.
Coached some youth soccer to a victory. Put down an 85-14 ass whooping in rugby. Won some jumbo prizes at the state fair. Fucked an absolute hard body milf all weekend long. She sat on my face and sucked me off while I licked and fingered her ass. Hit all the major positions. She'd be pregnant if I didn't paint her back and asshole. Might even take her out to the casino tonight or on a simple running date. TBD. More lifting and running through the week. FULL BODY IS KING. BENCH IS KING. POWER LIFTING IS KING. And then do it all again this weekend. Will catch the last home game of the local MLB team.
I WILL GROW STRONGER I WILL BECOME HAPPIER I WILL FIND MY WAY Last week was mixed, I had one victory and one failure. I believe I’m growing stronger, I just don’t have any proof. I’ve accepted that I need to go down in weight in order to improve my bench press. I’m framing this decision as an alternative path rather than failure on my part. I will be optimistic about improving my bench. I’m starting to consider what’s next now that I’ve finished the CFA program. I have solid ideas about what I want, but I’m not sure I have the experience to be the best candidate. For the time being, I’m going to keep researching roles and going on informational interviews. I must believe that there’s a place for me. Good luck frens! We’ll keep moving until we accomplish our goals. WAGMI!
>>77528249Keep pushing for that butthole!
I need a hobby
>>77528249>wife's butthole, any%what's the most you've gotten
>>77528635In the time he's been posting that I've gone so far as to find a new gf, tongue and finger her butthole.He's still nowhere.
Went on a date, the girl said she was good at pool so I wanted to test her. I completely annihilated her, I don't think she got a single ball in. I continued to flex and do stretching exercises with the pool cue. I gropped her ass and bit her neck after taking her home. Safe to say she blocked me but I do not regret a single moment.
>>77528261Congrats on your progress! You’ll reach that goal eventually. Pull ups are hard for everyone, so don’t feel discouraged
>>77528304Great job finding something to live for! That’s how you gain happiness
>>77528635Licked, once. Vibrator. Fingers pretty regularly.>>77528643Yes but how much have that time have you spent married to the mother of your children? This would be easy if just want "a" butthole. But no, I want "her" butthole.
>>77528261I've lost 28 and have about 13 more to goOn one hand it's gotten harder since the leaner you get the harder it is to lose it but at the same time it has gotten somewhat easier as I've gotten more used to the deficitWAGMI fatbro
>>77528649>I gropped her ass and bit her neck after taking her home.How the fuck didn't you proceed to the next logical step
>>77528795>Licked, once.just dive in nigga, damnface down ass up and she can't do shit but push onto your face
Went on my first date ever on friday as a 31 year old loser. Went alright, didn't feel a "spark" or much chemistry but the conversation was comfortable and she was engaged the entire time. She brought up the scarcity/abundance dynamic for men and women on dating apps and mentioned she had like 300 matches which made me wonder why she'd go out with me.
>>77528848Do women really think saying that makes them sound like hot shit rather than just turning men off?
>>77528860I don't know, I didn't really care one way or the other.
>>77527978Good morning
>>77528493Oh shit you a twinkWanna meet up
>>77528795How much of that time have you spent watching porn?
>>77528867u so jelly
>>77528873I watch a lot of japanese porn with some japanese chink east asian guy fucking some girl
Sexy hot young women should be banned from my place of work. Torture to be around a hot young thing flicking her hair daintly
My gym is basically doubling in size by expanding into a new part of their building and almost all the new machines they got are nautilus impact ones. Every machine they have in the current gym is precor which is basically the worst manufacturer in existence save for technogym. This is unironically one of the more exciting developments in my miserable life. I'm dying to use an incline chest press or preacher curl that doesnt have the worst resistance profile imaginable.
>>77528880flick her bean
>>77528878Haha, that's not me. Asian porn doesn't work for me.>>77528873No-porn is a meme. You gain nothing from depriving yourself of the stimulus. Nothing you say otherwise will be considered as relevant to the conversation.
>>77528808Yes, this is on the list of things to do next we're having drunk sex and her defense is down. Honestly, buttlicking is a secondary goal. I want her to willingly give me her asshole for fucking.To be clear, I want, specifically, for my wife, specifically, to willingly give me her asshole. Specifically. I don't want to ram it in her ass by surprise and then deal with the fallout after. I want it presented to me as a gift she knows I want to receive.I think that's the hard part to understand for a lot of the Anons here. This is more than just, "I want anal." I want her to pesent her ass to me on a platter.
>>77528929Your wife is aware of your porn addiction, yes? And that the only reason you have this idea is because of the jewish porn you watch, even though she has explicitly told you on multiple occasions no, yet you still have the fantasy that she will gift you an additional hole.How much of your day is spent beating off instead of losing your gut?Who's your favorite pornstar you like seeing getting fucked in the ass and wish was your wife?
>>77528963Well that was predictable. Only thing you're missing is Christ-cuckery.
Man, I exhausted near daily.Anyone got some good vacation ideas foe thod Autumn? I need an escape to reinvigorate my Indomiable Monday Spirit.
>>77528971I take it she doesn't know?I like Riley Reid, Remy, Bree Olson, Rachel Roxxx, Alexis Crystal, Krissy Lynn, Marsha May, Kennedy Leigh, Kelsey Kane, Mia Malkova, Carter Cruise (that soccer scene is peak even if no anal)
>>77528991Bro is stuck in 2010
>>77528031Ah yes the soldier's release after a long march
>>77528998Guilty.
>>77529021Krissy Lynn also always did it for me despite bein pretty mid.
>>77529022I wish she did more teenage scenes than milf. Same with Carter, she was better taking dick then licking puss. Oh, but Krissy did have one lez scene with Aubrey Sinclair. She was good, too, before vanishing. I like a couple other girls for one offs. Also Bailey Brooke and Kali Roses before the obesity and blacks took over their livesI don't care for onlyfans stuff, but I am not against May Marmalade, Belle, and Eliza Rose Watson posting
>>77528795Will you people stop shilling kids? Fuck's sake, even my ex recently went "if you were a little more assertive at a few moments, my kid would have been yours". Fuck. I know, I should've had kids with her. Never should've broken up or should've gotten her back before she had that kid. I know.
>>77529035Did you at least get to fuck her ass? Willingly or not?
>>77529021That wasn't me either, lol.>>77529035Dude, I read your story and replied at the time, she could have had your kids if she wanted them enough. Her loss, not yours. Kids are amazing, but not worth the wrong life with the wrong woman.
>>77529040I dunno, this line is still rattling in my skull. It's not like I want her back now or anything, that'd be horrible. Just the feeling of what could've been, you know? And I know I fucked it up too.Oh well.
>>77529039Fuck is wrong with you? Jesus Christ, this board really has been flooded with shitskin rape rats.
Fucked up my year 2 of college. I gathered enough points to apply for year 3, but a difficult course from year 1 (digital electronics) is holding me back and I failed my last chance to pass it this year. So I have to repeat year 2. I'm seething and mad at both myself and at the subject for being so difficult (it's the most feared one across all 6 semesters). So that's another year and another 1000 euros down the drain.Went to the gym to blow off steam and finally deadlifted 100kg for the first time ever. But barely, my form was poor and my grip strength was barely enough. Still, not too shabby.
>>77529078>So that's another year and another 1000 euros down the drain.Dude uni is the freest most people will ever be in adulthood. I'd love to go back to uni for another year even if studying is boring as shit. Imagine if you weren't German/Austrian or whatever and instead were going to uni in the US or UK. Another year would mean another 20-50k in debt instead of a measly 1k.
There was an anon in the last thread who noted that the sex he had with a 6 out of 10 was far superior to the sex he had with someone hotter and I can definitely second that, I've recently got into an FWB kind of thing with someone who is a slight but noticeable upgrade to my prior FWB and the sex is pretty ass all things considered. It's not that she's a complete starfish but I don't get the feeling with her that she really wants to please and impress me in bed like I did with the prior FWB.I wonder if this is even more of an issue the higher up you go on the scale.
>>77528366Good job amending your app! I know refining work sucks but apps are a continuous work in progress. It's better that you identify the issue now than when people start using it
>>77528441Congratulations on bouncing back! You're stronger than you ever hope to comprehend. WAGMI
>>77528470Don't let dating discourage you, you're doing great! If you're happy and truly putting yourself out there, eventually you'll find someone. Good luck!
>>77528497Congrats! Keep grinding
Still a street urchin, but the head guy at the shelter im at said he won't just toss me out onto the street and I might be able to stay longer if I do chores and shit which he'll let me know about. Tho the other longer term housing ive been checking in weekly for I was also told I should be getting close by my case manager. Will need to start looking for work too so I can get out of being homeless eventually
>>77529051If you were more ASSertive you could have had her shit hole and her kidsBetter luck next time
>gf has had her friend visit for the last week>went out drinking together>end up at my place>gf's friend is really hot, chubby girl in all the right places>gf falls asleep>I carry her to bed>next day gf's friend complains to her that I was showing off>apparently her shrimp dick bf can't carry her and it was a massive fantasy of hersMay not have been the outcome I was hoping for but man that was pure motivation right to the veinsI fucking smashed the next day's workout.Some things go right in life.
>>77529387What else did you smash ;)
>>77528848She wouldn’t go in a date with you if you didn’t think you had potential
I don't know why my brain is so fearful of changes. It always overthinks and thinks of the worst possible scenarios. For example, if I were to stop driving for 4 months, I would literally get scared of driving because I would get hit by something.As a result, I have to ignore that uncomfortable feeling every times whenever I try something, and the worst part is that it isn't as bad as the brain tried to portray it to be. So, it's just a cycle of me getting uncomfortable with shit that I was doing on a daily basis whenever I took a break.
>>77529664>>77528366Join a bjj class
>>77527978Lost my gf of 3 years, she was a crazy bpd whore but we had a future laid out for us, were discussing marriage and shit, about to move in together. Dumped her because she just wouldn't make time for me week after week, barely even a text. Tried to get her back but she said no. Got pissed, told her I cheated on her a bunch and that I always hated her, her friends, her family. She deleted all social medias and changed her locks because she thought I was gonna break in lol. Now got a fat bitch, from her pics a year ago when she wasn't fat she was way hotter than my ex, she's trying to get unfat for me now, got her in the gym, on GLP, eating right, made her quit smoking weed within a week of meeting her. But god, it's rough starting again bros. But if I can unfat this bitch, it'll all be worth it. Pic related
It is week two of me doing full body workouts, its a long road ahead but WAGMI.
>>77529786>from her pics a year ago when she wasn't fat she was way hotter than my ex>if I can unfat this bitchYou are in for one hell of a disappointment here anon.and that pic doesn't help at all, that is even more of a big fat nope
>>77529478Yeah true. She just messaged me basically what I said in my post about the lack of spark or chemistry so she's not interested in going out again. For me I still wanted to fuck her despite that but I guess that's the difference between men and women.
>>77529786What is going on in that picture? There's a spin bike in the hallway and a popcorn maker on top of a dorm fridge? And that weird door jam above her head? And on second thought, the flywheel of the spin bike is broken.Anon, I hope this isn't her. This pic has been hit hard with AI, and I'm not even sure what for unless to drastically clean up the girl's appearance. Girl said "make me look thin and put, I don't know, an exercise bike in the background so it looks like i work out". And also, if this is the "before fat" pic, man, she's still fat here. The AI gave her a jawline, but look at those meaty fingers. Plus, look at what she's wearing - that's fat girl stuff.
>>77529121I can second this. Anything above 8 is straight up dead weight. Being catered to by desperate thirsty males all your life turns you into a novelty rather than an actual person. I've had a 5/10 break my dick from riding for 30 minutes straight. The worst experience I've had was with a professional cheerleader that just laid motionless for the entire thing.
>>77528978some nature park close to you
>>77529121>>77530093I have a theory. Are they with because they want you? Or because they want you to want them?I've been wanted. Even amateurs put on a good show, make a good effort, if they're hungry for you. If they're excited, they can't hold still.I've also been tolerated. That's where you get the starfish. Whatever the reason, your body isn't why she's with you, and it shows in how she just lays around until you're done.
>>77528515So you’re only winning these days. Congrats king
>>77530093It's such a bummer because half the point of sex for men, I feel like, is to see a woman with all her pretensions and masks gone. Her agreeing to sex but not being willing to leave her pride and arrogance at the door is just such a neither fish nor fowl sort of deal.>>77530135I'm not a mindreader but I guess I could see her agreeing to being FWBs just because she enjoys the validation.
Bad news: I failed to bench 2pl8 for 8 (only 7) Good news: I proceeded to bench 2pl8 for another set of 7, which is the most amount of volume I’ve ever done Better days are coming
started as a junior in college at the ripe age of 22 and im both too stupid for the material and getting ignored by everyone around me. ive been lifting for 9 years and cant even do 2pl8 benchpress. i am manifesting success this christmas season
6 months ago the girl i planned to spend the rest of my life with decided that we weren’t compatible for a lifelong commitment.It’s been rough, i think about her almost every single day for sometimes hours on end. Still working like normal and still gymming occasionally but i lost a part of myself in the breakup. Can barely close my eyes without seeing her smile.But, I’ve met someone, she’s great. Things are going really well. And yeah probably shoulda waited longer before dating someone but i was crippling depressed, downloaded hinge and tinder and 1 night standing 4-5 days a week trying to cope and it just made me sadder after every night so.. this is the best i can do i think. Hit 2pl8 for 10 today which i haven’t done since before Christmas last year so that’s nice i guess
>>77529121I don’t think it’s about looks it’s more about comfort, want, and fear of losing you.I’ve been with more women than most people here I’d wager and the best sex of my life has been withA 10/10 (to me) that i wanted to marry but we decided not to. Every time we had sex was amazing, her pussy literally GUSHED all over me when i was hitting her in all the right places, she’d stick her tits in my face when she rode me and pretend to breastfeed me, tell me to put our child in her etc. Best blow jobs of my life too i dunno what she did with her mouth but it’s unlike any other. A 6/10 that was infatuated with me, we agreed to fwb but she was secretly (but kinda obvious) in love with me and would let me do literally anything i wanted to her. The days when we spent an entire day together she’d blow me like once an hour at least and swallow every single time, time for sex? Blowjob, mid sex blow job, after sex cleanup swallow. She let me triple penetrate her with two dildos, that was hot Lastly a 9/10 that was an anal freak. What’s even better is that I’m the first one she did anal with but she absolutely fucking LOVED it. Towards the end of the relationship it was anal 9/10 times. And when we did vaginal she’d make me fuck her ass when we finished so she could cum hard. BEST PART she was so turned on by watching me fuck her ass in the mirror, and was so turned on by me making her love anal that she brought in 4 girls (at different times) for us to have threesomes with, she was bi, with the main purpose of teaching those girls how to enjoy anal. She did all the warm up anal training with them during our threesomes and would eventually encourage and kiss them while i fucked them
>>77531497I got stupid strong on the bench press doing 4 sets of 8. Set 1 the absolute max possibile then all later sets taken 4kg off. All 2 min timed. Try that, you're reaching peak age you should be doing 3 pl8 x8
>>77530189ItWillHappenToYou.mp4
>>77528883Don’t feel ashamed of being happy. It’s a big development that’ll bring you joy
I just wanna say how much I appreciate you guys. My road to making it is long and I take small steps, but I'm getting there. One small step at a time.
>>77527978With wow forever on the way I feel like I'm going to face one of the greatest temptations yet... Just when I feel like I've made some progress on my mental wellbeing.
>>77529336Hard to climb up from zero. Good on you.
>>77532690
>>77532690Love you too, brah. No homo.
>>77528978If you’re a burger, check out New Hampshire/vermont/maine
>>77532975 wog
>>77529078Sorry you failed but being delayed a year isn’t the end of the world. Have you identified your previous mistakes so you don’t repeat them?
>>77529336Both are positive updates. Stay optimistic and don't fall back into drugs and drinking
>elbow randomly hurts after leg day
>>77529234Thanks! One step closer to finishing the week and all the work that comes with it. Tomorrow I will see my girl and spend the weekend with her, and monday my coworker comes back from vacation which will take a load of work off me. WAGMI
>>77527978>What are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve?Keep stepping down the substances, stupidly let my guard down, one weekend of "oh a little bit won't hurt, just a bit to 'relax' etc. (t. faggot-addict part of my brain)" and that spiraled into two months of slipping back to my bad habits accompanied by mysterious massive increase in anxiety/depression lol. But on the other hand I didn't fall fully into it, kept the amounts small vs. before, didn't fall for doomerism and forced myself to socialise, go for walks and now in the countryside for a 'detox', picking berries and doing manual labour.tl;dr, anon did dumb, anon fixing dumb
>>77528470>I think there's just something fundamentally wrong with meLike what? I doubt there is anything wrong with you anon. >so I guess I just have to accept that I'm dying alone.Press X for doubt. It can be discouraging at the start but don't give up and don't let it get to you.And ironically try not to obsess about it, yeah its not easy but, imo, its a bit similar to how you can sense the terminally online gooners who then wonder why they have trouble socialising.
I wanna be a hero. I know it's immature and unrealistic but it's all I've ever wanted. I don't know how to translate this into reality but I still want it. I'm 31 now and it's still the only thing I want to do. It doesn't have to be super hero even just like those TV shows where they go around and help people like Knight Rider or Leverage. In a world that's so irony poisoned and defeatist I want to be a symbol of hope and offer tangible help. I'm already a first responder but that barely feels close to what I want.
Christ continues to bless me greatly. I've been focusing on service, prayer and scripture lately. It has been wonderful.40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.Matthew 25:40https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/nt/matt/25?lang=eng&id=p40#p40
>>77534091What you're going through is a cannonical male experience for everyone in their early 30s. Kind of like when Jesus died for our sins at 33.
>>77527978guys, how do i make it? how do we all make it? to heaven that is. i wanna see my invisible brothers, /pol/acks, /fit/izens, /b/ and /biz/bros, heck even /x/bros back in heaven after death. after death and heaven is what this thread never addresses. lift for the physique of the average man of GOD? i still need to do this, but one needs to set the spirit's endeavors first, doing holily before, and with GOD on one's body, one's temple for the holy spirit. it still feels good to still have a goal on earth (fasting + lifting together the body of a man of GOD). there were roman saints who died in rome, so it is possible to make it in one of satan's cities, bigger capitals, even.how will you make it with GOD and jesus, so we meet again as eternal saintly brethren and friends in heaven after passing away, anon?
>>77534091start by being your wife's hero, then your kids. throw them as high as you can in the air because all the best heroes are strong. watch over them every night and be their savior. once you start coaching them, you'll have teams of kids that see you as both a father and a hero. leverage that success to be a coach/booster for a larger team or even president of the school boardbut always stay true to your heroine
>>77534139Christ, church, temple, prayer, scripture, enduring to the end.
I'm all for acceptance on this board, except religious posting. christ-cucks get bent.
>>77534091you literally can just do that dudejust go to seattle or san francisco so they think you're a junkie and never punish you
>>77529664Remind yourself of all the times you did the tasks correctly. You can’t think of all the worst case scenarios
>>77534106I've felt like this since I was a kid.>>77534154>start by being your wife's hero, then your kids>mfwHowever I have started with my family.>>77534202I've thought about this often. Just quitting my job and going to some city where they don't enforce the law anymore. Only thing about that is I'm super far away from those places and would have to leave my family that relies on my help.
Just bought resistance bands and some skincare products, next summer ill fuck a woman or kms, is my last chance.
>finally asked her out>she said yes>she actually looked happyIt was REALLY just that easy all along... why did it took me so long to get it?
>>77529799Keep pushing forward! You’ll stumble along the way, but you’ll achieve something great eventually! WAGMI
>>77534628Sometimes it really just is that simple man, I'm very happy for you. WAGMI!
>>77531497If it’s any consolation, I only started lifting after college. Take lifting at your own pace and focus on improvement. A lot of your peers will get fat soon. If you remain in shape, you’ll be above average
>>77532434Thanks :) WAGMI
>>77534628You skipped out the phase where you get desensitized to getting rejected.Though, if she is a keeper, you will never need it.
I don't know how to flirt or escalate on a date. I can keep a convo going just fine, she'll be laughin, seemingly having a good time and not checking her phone or anything but I have no intuitive sense of how to make it sexual or even steer it in that direction. Last few dates I've been on all feel completely platonic like you're getting to know someone in a friend kind of way at a house party or some shit.
>>77532690We love you too ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ <3 WAGMI
>>77534176Why not? Spiritual health is also health, some people need spiritual connection and welfare more than others
>>77535048>you skipped out the phase where you get desensitized to getting rejected.I find this incredibly easy to do when I'm in doomer mode, but when I self-improv it hurts my ego or just makes me mad against women. I've been rejected or ghosted an insane amount of times too (but that's because big city+I try a lot, I never give up on a cute girl).>>77535052Back when I got good dates I would usually sit close to her and at some point try to get it into romance talk then pretend to fix her hair or something, if the mood is "in" take her chin/neck and kiss her. Way I see it it's better to show interest and be rejected that way than having the date end in a wet fart. As long as you're a more or less normal dude she won't mind you trying to kiss her.
>>77535288>conversing with a brown americunt ISHYGDDT
>>77529394Only one of them, your bets on whichStill got me motivated though
I don't know where else to post this, so I'll post it here, in what I consider to be my home thread on my home board.I have apparently ratcheted up my oral capsacin tolerance so far that it's now hazardous to my health. Been experimenting with superhots and diy hotsauces. Yesterday on my lunch, I kind of couldn't put enough sauce that I could taste the spicy.About 1.5 hours later I thought I was dying. A single split cunt hair away from calling an ambulance, thought I was having a heart attack. I've had gastro-ibs in the past, so I knew to wait it out a little, called the wife at work and just had her talk me through the worst of it (but also be ready to call that 911 if I stopped responding).Long story short, I lived. Still feel like shit today.Just thought I'd share. Hilarious in retrospect. Scary as hell in the moment.
>>77535704So you've had gastro issues and ibs before and you're bombarding your body with excessively hot sauces? Are you retarded dude like what the fuck lol
>>77535705Ibs was cleared up a decade ago. But yes, I think you can infer from my post that I am, in fact, retarded.
>>77535743Well at least nothing too bad happened. I'd just take a break from all hot sauces for a few weeks, it'll probably reset your tolerance a bit.
>>77532757Set timers for how much you engage with it. Congrats on improving your mental health though
>>77535571You smang (smash it and bang) her tight little butthole?
>>77535821Yeah, swearing it off for a while. It's a shame, I love spicy food. Will have to come back slowly, see if I can build up my gut tolerance better.I always thought you never stopped feeling the burn, you just got used to it, so I'd be aware at least of what I was dosing. I can now say that is not how it works.
Anybody got that image of the wrestler looking dude saying "it's never late to start again"? I kinda need that rn
>>77535973What’s wrong?
>>77536031I shat myself in the booth of a buffalo wild wings while on a date and had to hobble into the toilet to clean myself up. It stank real bad too.
>>77536041After a certain age, you can’t trust farts. Never return to that restaurant again
>>77536041I mean what did you expect from buffalo wild wings?

>>77527978My friends...I am getting up with 4chan as a whole.It is dead, there is porn spam, black pill spam, and a nonsensical amount of bitterness for no reason, even when I contribute to a thread with something on-topic.I have been here a while, and it has never been this bad or this slow.I hate that I still come here. I have nowhere else to go, though. I can't be around normies.
>>77536206>muh normiesshut the fuck up pussy faggot
>>77536206I have 1 general that I'm a regular at and I browse /fit/ here and there. The general is in its final stage of de-evolution that all generals reach eventually where its nothing but internal drama between like 10 people that have all been there for years and hate each other. It lets me let my vileness out so I'm more chill in the rest of my life. It's good for me.
>>77534091I think it’s pretty normal to feel burnt out from the boredom of society. Focus on uplifting your wife and kids
>>77536328>your wife and kidsI'm sadly single and childless.
Had an appointment with a sports medicine doctor today for a possible stress fracture. He told me to stop running and no trap bar deadlifts. Scheduled an mri in a week which will tell how long.Time for all chest no legs.

>>77527978Lost my brother last week. I was sober for 6 months but went on a 24 hour bender a couple days ago, ended up drinking about 20 beers and did 3g of speed. I haven't undone all that work have I? One mega binge isn't going to turn back all the progress I made, right? I'm gonna feel rough for a few days and then I'll bounce back, right?
>>77536833So you can still make gains. Focus on your chest and don’t stress too much about your injury
>>77537714> I'm gonna feel rough for a few days and then I'll bounce back, right?t.b.h., yesmaybe a week is fucked for full regenerationmaybe a tad too much caloriesbut as long as this won't happen a second time you are good to go(not medical advice I am a retard myself sometimes)
>>77537714You’ll bounce back but give yourself time to mourn and figure it out
>>77536049Look I don't ever want to shit myself in public but if I feel a fart coming during a max deadlift I'm not bailing just to hold it in
>>775362064chan is dying but there's no place else for people like us on the internet. Let's band together and try to improve this board. Every single decent post goes a long way
My wife is such an asshole. Constantly picking fights, being insulting, and then if I react she puts on the waterworks to her friends and our neighbors. What gets me is that I’ve had a lot of practice ignoring her antics and not reacting that she now says I’m stonewalling. Or when I refuse to engage and say so she accuses me of being a robot. It’s sick and disgusting.
>>77536206I have been here since 2008 and its not really any different nowadays. Bunch of men in their early 20s and 30s being pissed.
Idk when woman are hitting on me. Why do some walk same place i do or look at me certain way. My family situation is shambles,i struggle with my friends or most social contacts. Im dealing with difficult childhood/puberty. Im trying fix my life and personality but im failing on the regular. Or am i looking too much in social details
>>77537995Honestly I agree with your stone face tactic. Don't let her get the better of you, simply choose not to engage with her
>>77537995Update: apparently she filed for divorce a couple weeks ago, gonna be a fun time for the kids
>>77538067Be grateful that you have friends and social contacts. Try building yourself up brick by brick. Are there any basic skills you want to improve upon? Start there
>>77537995>My wife is such an assholehave you tried fucking hers?
>>77538067>Idk when woman are hitting on me.It's funny that way. When I'm in a mood to talk it seems they don't pay attention to me, but me walking to the park with a book? I literally caught five qts looking at me yesterday, and two of them I had five sec eye contacts and a smile. What do you even do in this situation? Run after her, "Hey I like your smile?" It doesn't make sense, when you're looking, women don't care; when you're not, they may find you hot, but as soon as you open your mouth, you lose any mystery about you. It's like they live in a world of fantasy and not interested in any actual contact (like those perpetual texters), whereas men tend to be focused on action.
Hotsauce guy here. It's been a rough few days. It comes and goes. Been eating pepto, tums, and Tylenol. Couldn't sleep Friday night because it felt like I was dying again, then so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open last night, thought I was over it today until I took a shit a little while ago.Plus I had fever chills Friday night which may have been somehow related, or may have been me catching something one of the kids had last week.It'll be hilarious in retrospect, I'm sure. Good, silly story to tell. I'm ready to get to that point now, though.Shoot, I think I need to go take another shit. That'll be 3 for today.
gf of nearly 5years I lost the weight, escaped neetdom and moved out for dumped me via text today because of her depressionI don’t even know what to say. 32, she was legit the reason for all this. I haven’t even left the house, it feels surrealHow you can change your entire life for someone and they can leave you like that I was going to propose in like two weeks tooI don’t even know what to do, or if I’ll even keep lifting. I haven’t told anyone irl, she said “break” but real ones know what that really meansOn top of that I rolled my ankle. Life is a fucking demon , I don’t even know where to go
>>77539509You might benefit from seeing a doctor but I assume you're a burger and that would bankrupt you unfortunately>>77539810She left you like that because she's trash. That's the honest truth. She didn't value you like you did her and the core of as a person is that of a coward piece of shit. The silver lining is that you didn't propose. Imagine you'd gotten married and she pulled this shit then. Also, "break" is code for there is either someone she already has someone she wants to get with or is currently fucking on the side. Women can be absolutely ruthless with shit like this. It sucks ass now and you're gonna feel bad for a while but you'll get over it eventually. When you do, presumably at that point in time you'd much prefer that you continued lifting and didn't spiral into being a fat recluse loser.
>>77539838Forgive the nonsensical mistakes it's 2:30 am here
>>77539838>see a doctorDude, I ate too much hotsauce. Not razorblades.
>>77538250I’m sorry bro but your description made it sound like your marriage was destined for this outcome. You’ll recover from this event, but it’ll take a long time

>>77527991I can't shake the fucking cold, it's always lurking underneath everything. I will keep doing bare minimum of lifting and I'll go to judo but no swimming. One running session with the guys if I can manage it.I'm stressed out about work and for good reason. I have to get back in the saddle and deliver this shit in ten weeks. It's going to be okay but it requires focus and I'm not sure I can focus for ten weeks straight. Only one way to find out I guess.Oh, and I started cleaning my apartment again. I'm using the Jerry Seinfeld method to keep up consistency, it worked with fitness so now I want cleaning to be part of my lifestyle too. Nothing like being an adult trying to catch up to normal adult shit.WAGMI.
>>77539880Stay strong then. You’ll get over it eventually
>>77539810Sounds line you dodged a bullet there. Shame about the wasted time, but men have more fertile years than women so you'll have too look for someone younger if you're into building a family and all that.Next time be upfront about projects in common and if your partner is straying from the agreement just end the deal. When both of you are working together towards the same common goal for a while they're much less likely to just abort it because they found a hotter lay.And enjoy being single. I sure as hell miss it sometimes, even though I hated it back then, god knows I had fun.
Today's lifts>DB bench 100x6 105x6 110x8>DB row 5x10 @ 110>DB skulls 3x14>Face pulls 4x15Very very happy with 8 on the 110s, feel like I can take another shot at the 115s againAlso finally bought proper lifting shoes so I can actually try on squats again, I'll work back up from 3pk8 and hopefully crack 405 by year end
Had a pretty good weekend with the girlfriend, she says she's falling in love with me. First time this happens to me, I feel lucky and have new motivations to fight the urge to watch porn and jack off.
>>77539810You made a ton of progress on yourself. It sucks that she broke up with you but your next partner will value the man you’ve become
>>77540204So lock the fuck in. You don’t need to be perfect, but you need consistency to succeed. WAGMI
it finally happened bros>heavy squats 3x3 365lb>warm up sets went great>first set, in the hole, bottom of the first squat>hear a pop and a rip>shorts obliterated>ass out (was wearing underwear)>finish the repit had been my nightmare to rip my pants at the gym and it finally happened, thankfully there was only one lady on doing hip thrusts behind me, and at least we had a chuckle together.i wrapped my hoodie around my waist and finished the workout because what else can I do
Still a street urchin. I am grateful I had to spend very little time fully homeless all things considering and I have some stability via the shelter i got into even if theyre just letting me free ride for now. This guy who got in after me got kicked out before and seemed a touch envious/resentful when we bumped into each other at a free community lunch as he's now on the street. I think the staff is a bit sympathetic to me in a subtle way as I don't cause trouble ever and I follow the rules and I'm not a junkie. Maybe helps I'm young and clean cut. I've sworn off substance use after the few bad experiences I had and by and large I dont miss it.Been here 2 months and again, the head guy told me he won't just kick me out and asked if I'd be interested in helping out for a place to stay a bit longer as my other longer term housing aspirations pan out which I check in for weekly.Fitness wise I actually gained a fair bit of strength and maybe even a touch of muscle in the last two months as I've nothing better to do than workout hard as I can with all the free time, and eating fast food via ebt and shelter meals is surprisingly good for bulking, even if some of it is slop (I'm a skinny ish guy so I've room to grow).I think I'll be okay. Great even, albeit not right away.
>>77540803If you want to jack off, imagine the pain she’ll feel from you cheating on her. You have something previous, don’t squander it
>>77540940I’m amazed you finished your workout. Consider yourself lucky that only one person saw
I WILL GROW STRONGER I WILL ENJOY MY REST I WILL BEGIN PLANNING FOR MY FUTURE Just as I said, I went down in weight for the first time in a while. I then proceeded to have the best workout I’ve had in a while. It sucks seeing a small number, but having a better mentality and feeling accomplished is worth it. I know eventually I will reach my goal, I just need to persist. This week I’m finally taking time off. I’m so excited to just rest and reflect on my life. I haven’t had much time off since I finished the CFA program. I’m starting to strategize about the next steps in my career. I know searching for a new job is rough, but I need to utilize my CFA charter in my career. For the time being, I’ll take advantage of this fall lull. Keep working hard! Even if progress doesn’t seem linear, you’ll have a path to the peak. WAGMI
>>77541055I know, I think about it to fight off the urge
>>77539957Yeah it was, we’ve been talking about it. I brought it up initially but before I was served we had agreed to put a cause on the conversation. It’s life.
>>77528366v1 is out the door, now it will be time to start working on marketing both that app and my previous one (which just hit 100 users). i didn't study at all last week but going to turn that around this week. have two other products i'm working on that i hope to be able to turn profit on fairly quickly. work is clearly going through some shit again. not sure if i'm going to get cut but i gotta be a prime candidate at this point. made a passing comment to wife and now she's freaking out and that blew up to an argument about how i dont tell her things. Goals this week - marketing, network event finding, job hunting. Feel like it's all basically the same thing. Kind of bummed after recent job rejections.And I was ghosted on a phone screen.
>>77541054Sounds like life is improving even if it still sucks. You better stick to your word and not relapse. Have you looked into work?
>>77541284Congrats on hitting that benchmark! 100 users quite a bit. Don't get discouraged, it's a shit job market. Just keep trying
This week I will bench 2pl8 for a 2x8
New weeg. I almost skipped two days of the gym and cheated on my diet more than once last week, so for this one the goal is to stay consistent throughout. Still, going to the gym is becoming fun, and I really enjoyed how pumped I felt yesterday after working out.I also want to start learning how to draw. I've been meaning to do it for a long time, but now that I live alone I have no excuses for putting it off.
Went to the gym. Now Playing world of warcraft forever . Won't be killing myself this week. I'm young and free.Failed the capcha 3 times
>>77541284How do you marketing bro? Please teach me, I have a product live but can't figure out marketing for the life of me.
>>77531707If I could impart some wisdom on you anon. This is a problem in my opinion, firstly better to have loved and lost than never at all, humans are remarkably durable given time. Secondly, the cripplingly depressed whilst not with another is a common problem with both men and women but it’s particularly men as women have a different genetic requirement. As a man, you should be happy enough with your life and circumstances so much so that you don’t need a partner, oddly, that is the key to a successful relationship because then the addition of a person easily becomes a supplemental aspect rather than a requirement. If you aren’t happy without a person you are the issue and need to investigate how you can change that and why.
>>77533344You’re gripping the bar too hard or overstretching your finger extensors (like on squat if you push your palms up past the bar but keep fingers under it. It’s golfers elbow probably
>>77535928What I don’t understand with this is yeah it’s great and you can stomach it initially but the flaming hot shits are awful. Does the asshole adjust aswel or is it always raw?
I've been progressively overloading. Strength training + cardio afterwards, four days a week, not skipping a single session. Don't really get DOMS anymore. Going to the gym has stopped feeling like this new thing and instead just another thing I do, like brushing my teeth. I hope this doesn't mean that I'll become complacent in the future... I just hope results can still come from the consistency, even with how mundane it all feels now
It is only a matter of time. Honestly, it could actually be less than two weeks. Could even be tomorrow.I find solace at the beauty of such a notion.
>>77542439The Lord has seen fit to bless me greatly.
>>77542389I never had the flaming hot shits from a level of hotsauce I could tolerate the taste of until this episode.For an update, that was Thursday, and things still aren't quite right. Any good sized meal results in painful bloating and gas, but I've been scarfing pepto so no runs. I've also apparently caught a cold and suspect some of my more general symptoms like headache and chills were from that.
can one of you guys help me out.. I went on a date with this cute girl, and we had a fun time. like 8 hour date walking around doing fun things etc. We text a little after, and I try to set up another date, but was a little pushy because I was on nofap and had zero self control (i know), I didn't spam text her, but there was a uncharacteristic urgency in how I was texting because I needed to nut. Anyways, the last message she sent me was that she wanted to see me again, but it was gonna rain, so she was probably gonna go to a spa, and I said let's hang out after that, and she said okay, and I asked where to meet and she ghosted. That was 10 days ago. Again, the first date went really well, and every other date I went on recently made me feel completely dead inside. This is the first girl in a long time that I felt good with, so please don't just say "move on faggot".. can you brain storm some kind of message to send her . thanks. /blog
>>77542518Tell her that you're got an evening free this week (pick an evening)... would she like to have dinner? Don't give her a ton of options, just say "hey, I'm free on Thursday evening- would you like to get some dinner when i get off work?"If she says yes, keep it fairly early and don't stay out late since you need to go to work the next morning. Leave her wanting more. If she says she's not free then, then say "okay, maybe some other time", and leave it. Don't say anything else. This is important. Don't suggest another day. This might tone down your desperate tone. It guarantees a short date since you'll have to get up for work the next day and you prioritize your sleep and job, and your schedule is full of other things since you're only free that evening. If she wants to see you and truly isn't free on the night you posited, she'll suggest another night. And of course, if she doesn't respond within 24 hours, then you should delete her number and move on, faggot
>>77542555>move on, faggotreal mature. fuck you

>>77541811im just gonna try reddit to start. my one app works kinda well for groceries so i might print out things and post it on those pinboards they have at the supermarket
>>77541526Update: I got 8 reps for the first set and 7 for the second. I’m still proud of my improvement :)
>>77541802Good job amending your mentality! Become the type of man who looks forward to working out, that’s how you become strong! It’s never too late to learn how to draw
I just got paid. I took a look at my economy and it's working out. Every month I have more money than the previous one. It's growing fast.I'm good at this shit. I still live as I did when I was poor but I'm no longer poor.This shit is like fitness. Good financial habits pile up and before you notice you have money to spare and your investments exceed your daily expenses. At this rate I'll realistically own a home during my lifetime. Feels good man.
>>77542651>watch videos of guysfaggot
>>77542411Congrats on building a routine! Try framing going to the gym as a gradual process. Eventually you’ll reach your goals but you need to grow
>>77541285I've been completely sober for at least a month now. Not really difficult. I do need to start looking at work more seriously though the shelter I'm currently at is strict with curfews and stuff so I'd be limited in the scope of what I can do as well as what work I can take in terms of hours. I have a degree tho I doubt I'll find work in that field (I don't really want to work in it anymore anyway), and I have years of retail experience and a bit of office. Im young aand very healthy so waiting tables or something might be a readily available play
>>77542439The Lord will deliver what he sees fit
i just saw a candid side profile photo of myself and my jaw definition was so fucking bad it's sent me into a depressive state. i straight up looked like Ed from EEnEI'm already working on a cut but even when I was at ~15% bf a few years ago my jaw definition wasn't greati need a no-bullshit rundown; does bonesmashing work, even a little bit? i don't give a fuck about clavicular or any of those looksmaxxing closeted faggots, i just need facts. it sounds ridiculous, but I'm married, and i refuse to allow my wife to be the woman with a chubby ugly husband
it's not Monday tho

Another >"The test didn't show anything wrong with you"I hate this shit. I wanna know why I have literal 0 energy all day every day.
>>77543166Being sober for a month is still an accomplishment, be proud of yourself! At this point, take whatever job is feasible. You need to start from somewhere. You sound qualified for basic work
boss is currently going through a divorce and also hired a new employee today. tomorrow I am going to ask for a 20% raise, its been 3 years since the last raise and I am doing most of the work. if he says no I am going to quit on the spot and he will probably have to close down because I will take the other employee with me. he wanted to quit anyway now he would have a reason to. its going to be fun.
>>77545157is 20% what you actually want or are you highballing for a counteroffer?
>>7754519020% would put me into the average for my experience and position, I am heavily underpaid. I havent bothered because I made a lot of money in the past few years in the stock market, about as much as with my regular work. Now its more about principles than it is about money. I wouldnt mind 12 months of unemployment benefits, so its a win/win no matter the outcome.
>>77544768Good luck champ!
>>775451573 years without even COLA raises? During this drumpf disaster, even? Dude is literally (figuratively) pissing on you.
>>77527978New week, same goals, better late than never:>wife's butthole: any%>treadmill until abs>big lifting, little eatingTired and sick edition. Not sick and tired, well yes, some of that too. Actually tired from being sick, though. After a summer of stalling, telling myself I'd get back on it for real when the kids went back to school, then actually making some progress when school started, now I've had a full week of feeling like absolute shit.I had been making small strength gains while actually losing muh 1lb per week. I'm sure that entire month's progress is canceled out now, though. Finally feeling somewhat better, but hell, I'm so fucking tired, I can maybe get back on the diet, but there's no way I'm exercising until I make up sone of this lost sleep over the weekend.Then the following weekend I head out of town for days.Always some god damn thing. Every time I get swinging, some god damn thing.Oh well. Just call me Butthole Sisyphus from here on. I'll probably never make it, but I'll never stop either.
>>77545157Yeah you should pursue that 20% raise. A business is just an entity and they need you right now
>>77544768>>77545340Maybe that post was foreshadowing but pulled the most retarded drunk move (Plan to completely quit drinking so this will be the cringiest rock bottom)Basically what happened is I asked her out and left it there. Then was going to have a couple drinks and ended up having a couple too many and got drunk and then re-read the message and felt it was cringe and fucking unmatched her. I didn't even learn her name. Probably was the best connection I've ever had on the apps. Also the message was nothing but I think it seemed to long in my drunk headSome day this will be funny but what a supreme self-sabotage
>>77546342got what I wanted. it was like a 30 second discussion at the end of a meeting we had.
>>77534633>>77535048So a couple of days before we agreed to meet she cancelled, something along the lines of liking me but not being up for anything right now, maybe in the near future.Didn't press the issue, I guess she's with some other guy.Oh well.
>>77546088Sorry you feel like shit. Try not to get too disappointed, you'll regain your strength in due time. Imagine sisyphus happy, keep pursuing that butthole!
Bump :)
>>77546400Stop doubting yourself. You’re never going to reach happiness if you keep doubting if you’re worthy
Hell will be chinese grannies babbling nonsense
>>77548967They probably mean well.
>>77546528She got cold feet after the initial excitment wore off. You're doing the right thing, just politely pay her very little attention till when/if she changes her mind
>>77549635>just politely pay her very little attention till when/if she changes her mindNo, you pay no attention and then ignore her if she changes her mind. You're not a plaything to be toyed with at the whims of some bitch. Have some self respect ffs.
>>77546455Congrats! God helps those who help themselves
I'm starting to see outlines and colours of bicep veins bros

I'm getting a bit tired of my girls mood swings. She doubts about her "feelings" for me once a month or something and we have to have a "talk" to sort things out. Why am I so afraid of being alone though? I should be able not to give a fuck and just stay within myself but if I'm honest with myself everytime something like this happens it affects me emotionally. What do?
>>77551284Dump that whore she's doing nothing but causing you emotional turmoil playing her little games.
>coworker I've been simping for straight up walked past me today while greeting everyone else>spent past few weeks trying to talk to her more and get to know her>she's only gotten more distantI'm at the end of my rope brosvery nearly convinced I will die alone
>>77551913I've never had a relationship with or got to bed any woman that I was actively crushing on, or at least not when I was crushing on them. Which isn't to say that I was indifferent about the women that I did, only that there is probably something to the idea that wanting to get with somebody really badly never fails to sabotage you.
>>77527978I’m training for my first powerlifting meet in Dec, 9 weeks away. I’ve only been deadlifting for about 5 weeks. The first three were brutal and I even got sick (gas, stomach pain but no fever - so maybe from too much protein and no fiber - a 16 oz steak and potatoes did me in. Now, I’m aiming for 125 g of protein a day *AND* 35 g of fiber via fruit mostly and a steamed vegetable at dinner).Last week went really well, even the deadlifts, but it was all weights I could do 9 reps of. This week 5 rep goal, then 3, 1, back to 9.My program is Run 3 mi very easy pace 2 out of 3 days4 sets Squat every 72 hours4 sets Bench every 48 hours4 sets Deadlift every 96 hoursAdd isolation workouts to each for a 30-45 min workout and get two “pull” days in a week to not forget them.Any notes?
>>77551405She just "dumped" me so she took care of that part lol. I kind of expected it. I'm fine for now but I'm just hoping I don't become a little bitch and get all emotionally unbalanced because of this. Oh bros, fuck women
>>77552129self-sabotage is indeed up my alley so you're probably right desu
Somehow, Monday has returned
>>77540204>>77540911I keep lifting and doing a little Judo, I'm just going to skip cardio this week as well and then do one jogging session next week, then after that a new six-week block starts and I'll get back to swimming. I'm sticking to the main lifts and ignoring assistance stuff, it's frustrating but it's for the best in the long run. I'm the weakest non-boomer of the guys in my Judo class and it's unacceptable, I've got better cardio than many, though.Then I typed out a bunch of shit that isn't fitness related so fuck that. I'll just post for the Anons in their 20s: get yourself a young girl fucking pronto because contrary to internet advice, it doesn't get easier in your 30s. Or, some things about it get easier but others get more difficult and for the guys who weren't socially competent enough in their 20s, the net result is a loss.
7 year failed companionship finally blocked me when attempting closure fuck it we are free time to live for myself and look out for me only.
Dated a femcel some days ago. QT girl, takes good care of herself, has a job, but can not handle eye contact. Started crying at random times after I took her hand (I was her first date, ever). After I pressed, she told me she did not feel anything but still was having the time of her life. Then proceeded to tell me she spends her free time locked inside, and has spent a few years a hikki. The most terrible part is she seems stuck on twitter and instagram, that's when I realized this sort of shit is so terrible for women, and the 4chin neet probably gets more out of his condition than that girl did.Don't know what I should do. I almost told her that I was like her at a point in my life, but then I thought it would be pointless. I also feel attracted to her, she has a real soul and we talked for hours, but how do you even start anything with someone like that?
>>77552707Slowly. Sounds like it was a major win that she walked out of her front door to spend that time with you.
>>77528261you can do it bro
>>77552707Please take your time and be kind and gentle with her. Her crying after you held her hand pulled at my heartstrings. I hope things work out for both of you
>work is finally slowing down>had a great weekend with friends and family>girlfriend coming over this weekend and not on her periodI even went to the gym today, it's looking good bros
>>77552704Sorry but if she’s willing to block you, it was never meant to be. Give yourself time to figure out what you want next
I WILL GROW MORE POWERFUL THIS YEAR I WILL OBTAIN A BETTER JOB THIS YEARI WILL MAKE FRIENDS THIS YEAR I WILL CREATE A BETTER MENTALITY THIS YEAR I’ve been doing well in terms of bench pressing, I’m approaching 2pl8 for a 2x8. I will switch to an isometric pyramid this month. I didn’t hit a new 1rm this year, but I’ve had bigger priorities. Now that I can fully commit to growing stronger, I want to hit new PRs. I have exactly a year until I turn 30, I will take full advantage of this time. It’s been a big year for me - I became a CFA charterholder, improved in my job, attended my class reunion, and made a couple new friends. I want to believe that the next year of my life will be even better. The biggest goal for me is to land a job that pays better and allows me to utilize the skills I’ve gained from the CFA program. I’m dreading approaching 30, but I know that everyone runs at different speeds. I want to believe that the best is yet to come. I will get closer to making it :) Celebrate victories, they’re proof of our hard work! They will accumulate and show us the path towards the peak. WAGMI
>>77541284been steadily adding two users a day. if nothing else i'm enjoying the momentum. watching the pennies add up is kinda cool too, i think i'd be ecstatic if i ever get to a dollar a day. didn't study (again) since there was a lot of sports on and had a lot of time to kill. i'm a dead man walking at work. ironically enough it was jumping at an opportunity that ended up kicking the hornet's nest. found out a redesign of my product was being done behind my back, yet guided by my own input on similar matters. my boss was apparently clueless too and he seemed rattled so i dont think he's lying. I was told by his boss that it got passed off because there wasn't confidence in me getting it done based off a presentation I gave six months ago. Which begs the question why I'm even still here. I don't see how I make it out of this month let alone year. So yeah goals this week - job hunt, found some events for next week. just trying not to get pissed at work/ignore the guillotine. Which is hard - I remember that presentation and it wasn't meant to be a fully laid out business plan. And the fact that they fucking listened to me for nearly an hour earlier last week laying out AN ACTUAL PLAN before turning that into shit that they're going to do is just rage inducing. So yeah, forget looking for a raise, I'm just looking for the nearest exit.
Knees hurt from too many consecutive jiu jitsu days. Taking some rest. This week I will not cope with boredom by eating. I weigh 207 this week and I want to get back into the victim weight bracket before year end. I will go on one light run this week or drag the bike from the shed into the house and pedal through a couple episodes of The Pitt.My sprained wrist isn't healed enough for heavy pushing exercises yet so I will be patient and not reinjure myself.Had tuna steaks for lunch yesterday.We're all gonna make it.
>>77527978>friend recently split with gf of five years>already has multiple women on the go>has began to brag about how easy it isit's hard not to feel jealous and somewhat of a freak. he doesnt even have dating apps, he just gets lucky meeting people. I wish people didnt buy his bullshit so easily, I feel I have to try so hard. just had to vent there and didnt want to wallow too much, sorry.
>>77552797Congrats bro! Make sure to appreciate this happiness since it won’t last
>gall bladder needs to goI'm fucking pissed.
>>77553061Good luck finding a new job. You’ve complained about your current one for a while, so it’s for the best that you have more motivation to search for a new one. Having your own app will be a big selling point on your resume
>>77527978I've started dating again, a month ago a girl at work in a different department. Her sister decided to play matchmaker because we both were interested but dorks. It's early days but I like her and I want to see where it goes.However, I'm worried that if it gets to sex, I won't be able to perform. One of the reasons why I hadn't dated in ages was because of this, others being an overall lack of motivation and libido.I've been trying to get to the bottom of it for ages, but it seems to be like whack-a-mole, one problem is solved, another appears.Previously it's been high cortisol & prolactin, now SHBG seems to be the issue. Any tips to help within 1 month?I've heard cabergoline can help with prolactin but it's a bitch to get in the UK
>>77553471I mean the obvious answer is just to take cialis or viagra. Do you not want to take them for some reason? If you're worried about busting too fast you can also take dapoxetine. It's often sold in combined pills with viagra. The downside is that it makes it almost impossible to actually bust though (at least for me).
First day of bulk went well. I got belly making me not see feet. I have abs but ill say bye bye until march.I could talk to lady in my class tonight and last i saw her was 2 weeks ago when we worked together as pairs. I saw her face up close and shes pretty. I like her voice and how she talks. She got nice personality. She sat other side but when we had to look in hallway she stood before me and started playing with her hair. I see this happening more recently and i think its a good sign? When we left you had old guy between us and she held door open for him but for some reason he just waited so i got in and i couldnt hide my excitment smiling and say thanks. She smiled too when she saw me and she asked question so we talked. Next time i see her ill talk more.idk, sometimes i dont really feel like a human being and world is extremely confusing. Ill be happy taking this chance regardless
>>77553094There's no shame in resting, your body needs it. You have a realistic goal, now take the steps to achieve it. WAGMI
>>77553178None taken. So he has skills you lack, don't feel too discouraged. Follow his example and put yourself out there more
>>77553351F
>>77553471Honestly if you like her and make her happy, sex won’t be a massive dealbreaker in the beginning
>>77553609Congrats! She sounds interested so you should continue being nice to her to see where it’ll lead
>>77553321Thanks?
>>77553178Ask for tips rather than being a salty faggot breh, I wish my foreveralone mates would ask me so I could actually give them advice instead of them being too prideful
>>77553471Other anon is correct you will always fuck it up with performance anxiety you need the pill to get you over the hump and then when you do it once it’s fine you’re like oh lmao it’s just pumping and my dick tunes in because she’s hot af. I do it even after 13 yrs and not just because I’m an unc but because if it’s a special occasion I want that to not be on my fkin mind yk?
>needs jewish dick pills for something as simple as fuckingThis board is truly for the brown and obese
>>77554532it's better to pop one pill to dick down a bitch properly than for her to get a mega ick after you can't get it hard
>>77552260Update. My feelings are ok, I don't give a shit and she didn't value me as a person so she can go fuck herself. I haven't texted her and don't intend to. The only problem is that she is in the same uni and we are going to run into each other eventually. Oh well
>>77554628>can't get it hardDon't fuck uggos
>>77553897She has ton of freckles and smile that lights me up. Because of my bad eye sight not being able to see face. I try not to judge on looks. We havent talked much but i liked what she was saying. I wish i was funnier but i dont like opening up.
>>77554628How dont you get hard if sexy woman. Im diamonds after my hikes. Main reason looking for gf.
>>77553485>>77554512It's not busting too fast that's the issue, it's ED. I've tried generic Cialis and it didn't really work well.While testing it out jacking off I struggled getting hard, but once I was it felt like a firehose was filling my dick.>>77553822Thanks bro, but I know it will be a problem if it continues. Even if I go through the embarrassment of explaining what's going on, it's very disheartening if your bf/gf gives no physical signs of being attracted to you.
>>77554981If cialis didn't work, try viagra. If that doesn't work you likely have a pretty bad problem and will need to speak to a doc that specializes in it.
>>77554730>>77554943I don't know how my dick behaves during the sexy time because I've never touched a womanI am just giving a logical and reasonable solution to a general problem
>>77555037I sometimes cum fast, others I can't cum and can go on for minutes, others I can't get it up. It depends.
It's Tuesday.
>>77554664Don’t dwell on it too much, you’ll encounter a lot of disappointments in life. Get back in there, champ! You’ll make it eventually
one more work day and its weekend again. feels good man
Next monday I will try going 7 days without internet and media like music, movies and games. I have the week off of work, so I believe this to be the best time for doing it.Currently looking into what to do. My idea is to block all apps and internet, except sms and calls so people can contact me in case of an emergency. Also my healthcare app. I have something going with my doctor, so I want to be able to get updates from him. My idea is to just exercise, read and go on long walks/bike rides. If the weather is shit, I will do chores inside.I hope this will somehow restart my brain into enjoying things again instead of the endless 4chan F5'ing and watching YouTube all day.Anyone tried something like this? I struggle just one day without internet, so this is going to be rough lmao.
>>77556578the world outside of what you are trying to escape here isnt as interesting as you might think.
>>77556578If you're not working you have 16 hours per day of free time. Let say you spend 5 hours per day on lifting and walking which is already a fuckton. You read for another 5 hours which is also quite a lot. You still have 6 hours where you're gonna do what? You'll probably break within the first day.
>>77555037Worries after you had first expefience. You gonna have performance anxiety. Just be yourself and enjoy moment>>77556677Hobbies and interests. Studying or reading
>>77556721you would make room for your hobbies if they were that interesting. dont fool yourself here.
Nothing to be happy about
>>77556761this makes me jubilant
>>77556578>I hope this will somehow restart my brain into enjoying things again instead of the endless 4chan F5'ing and watching YouTube all dayi look forward to seeing your update. i've done similar and it's not going to make 4chan and youtube unattractive but it is refreshing. try to meet up with friends or do some other enjoyable socializing if you can.it'll help a lot if you live somewhere where wandering around outside is pleasant.>>77556677>You read for another 5 hours which is also quite a lot.it's really not. once you get enthralled in a book the time flies. it's also pretty easy to kill 5 hours walking. just pick a few destinations and walk to them.
>>77528942>and her defense is downThat's rape nigga
my wife noticed for the first time that i'm getting bigger while staying lean and asked me to create a training plan for her so she could lose 7kg. i thought she'll grow more resentful as i get fitter. i'm over the moon about it, wagmi
>>77556578pic related it seemswish you all the best my friend>>77557498>asked me to create a training plan for her so she could lose 7kgand all that without saying that she need forkdownsgood luck with that, you need it, I hope she is cooperative
forsen
>>77555023Viagra works the same way as Cialis, it has a shorter half-life.I'll try and get an endocrinologist consultation.
>>77556578>Anyone tried something like this?I did some sort of a dopamine fasting for a week, inspired by the bozo in pic related. Bland basic food, water, cold shower, zero entertainment - not even books or music, no masturbation. I just worked, lifted, ate, shat, slept. I sat and thought a lot.I don't think it magically did something to my body or brain, but it certainly ingrained in my head that it is alright not to chase pleasure all the time. Since then it is much easier for me to follow diets, lift consistently, do chores without being lazy, and I've managed to quit videogames (sober for over a year now).I think every single human has to do something like this maybe once a year.
