Hurt my back this week, feeling bummed that I'm not in the gym. Can /fit/ give me any good feels stories that happened to them recently? Breaking PRs, strangers mirin', got laid, etc. Positive vibes and constructive shitposting welcome.
>>37421660
I've got a couple of good feels to share. I'll start with a PR.
>Tuesday
>Day 2 of sheiko skills test
>Already PR'd on squat yesterday by 30 lbs and bench today by 20 lbs
>Time for deadlift
>Have pulled 510 before but hurt my back, failed an attempt after c6w 2 months ago
>Feeling good today
>Pull 495 ezpz
>Load up 515
>Want to record myself
>First attempt, break the ground but come up on my toes
>Put weight down, rest 5 minutes try again
>Listen to the song that gets my adrenaline going the most https://youtu.be/9m4685liWb0
>As soon as I hit record on my phone, stand up, lock my belt in, walk to the bar
>Looks like an SLDL but set a new PR of 515
I was fucking pumped desu senpai.
>>37421714
Nice, I'm mirin'. Last week my PR was benching lmao1plate for 7 reps. Also got over my fear of asking a complete stranger to spot me. He was super cool about it though.
>>37421660
I hit 135 5x5 for my first time this week, two days later I tried again with out a spotter and got it. Feel pretty good considering 4 months ago I could barely rep 65lbs.

Sick shit. Just Deadlifted my first plate the other day after doing them for only 2 weeks with 25lbs. Havent benched though cause I have no spotter so I just stick to dumbbells.

I don't have a meaningful comment to accompany this, that's just the way life is, many terrible things happen, many good things too, just gotta keep pushing through, remember, it's the struggle that makes you.
>tfw you break through a plateau
Benching 190 lbs for 5x5 a couple days ago felt incredible. I had gotten to the point where I couldn't get past 180 but then I decided to go to change my routine a little bit, became more consistent, and upped my calorie count by 500 and my lifts have started to improve big time.
Very conservative goal is to get to 1/2/3/4 by the end of the year. Attainable yet hard to reach goal I think would be something like 150/245/335/425.
>>37422613
>visits snap city
>wants to do deadlifts again
you know ... once you snap your shit up, there really is no unsnapping. don't do deadlifts AT ALL when you're goal is to look good.
have fun having chronic back pain when you're 40.
>started chatting with a qt about swimming in my gyms sauna

Fuck you bitch. I broke my jaw and literally haven't been able to eat solid food for a week and won't be having surgery for another week. Even after surgery I won't be eating solid food for who knows how long.

You're not strong and independent, you're living off inheritance rather than working for anything. You worthless fuck.

140kg deadlift after 3 months is pretty sick, congrats. I'm at ~100kg for 5 reps after 2.5 months of lifting now, but it's about the limit of what I can do.

You can make it anon. Just keep pushing.
>>37424029
Deadlift is probably my best lift. Im stuck at 100x5 on squat, and my OHP is terrible. Last attempt I managed 40x5, and then I had to push press 45kg x 4.
Still need to lose at least another 100lbs though.
>>37424192
Yeah, I'm in pretty much the same boat, all my push-lifts are awful. My OHP is like 30 for five. For some reason my deadlifts started out pretty strong (I think I started at like 75 or 80 for my 1RM) and my pull is also pretty good (can do maybe 2-4 good-form chinups)
On the upshot, I'm really close to my ideal bf% now, and girls are starting to mire and be really friendly.

>>37422514
no need for a spotter when benching, just don't go all the way to max and learn the roll-of shame.
Respect the bench, it's where most accidents happen
>>37421660
You'll get through it brother, just let it mend. When you can and if you don't already, start doing some prehab - some decent mobility exercises, foam rolling, all that shit is fantastic. Highly underrated.
Started at 375 in October, currently at 243.
I weigh less than I did in the 6th grade, so that's something.
I passed all my exams, weight is going up, got my gi for bjj yesterday and im feeling better than ever
>>37424503
Thanks, man. Yeah I've been stretching my hams at work all day, I think I'm good to return tomorrow morning. Good job on the weight loss btw.

Why didn't you fuck her? Tinder is Litterally for hookups. Do you guys really use it to get dates? Murrica is wierd...
>>37421660
It's Friday.
I dropped off my dry cleaning, did laundry, cleaned, got a haircut, stretched, foam rolled, now I'm settling down, made a drink before a QT shows up to join me before we go over to my friend's to continue to drink/smoke/play video games. Then I'll bring QT home & bang her.
Pretty OK.
I was getting examined at the doctors office and the nurse tried to put that pump up arm wap thing on my arm, but it was too small. She even says ''too much muscles I guess'' and get a bigger one instead. Good feels man.
>>37422625

So I was doing some sqwaats today at the gym. I've only been lifting for eight weeks so I except to be on the weaker end out of the people there . Then I remembered I lift at the fucking YMCA . I'm the second heaviest squatter at the gym and my max is like 280. So I'm repping 245 when some fat lady starts mirin.

this is pathetic
what happened to actually meeting and inviting girls out irl?
I was doing 200 3x8 on bench pretty easily and I though to myself after finishing "I'm doing 2 plates"
Loaded it up, went in the house to piss and came back terrified.
I fucking hammered it out x5. Holy fuck am I am on cloud thirty four right now. This is what lifting is about. It's not the most weight in the world, but it's what I did and I am fucking proud.
I also did 3 sets of 10 of 70 pound weighted dips pretty easily right after. And I've been having trouble with reps 9 and especially ten in my last two sets the last times I tried. Not today.
Today was a great day of lifting and the happiest I've been in a while. I should probably go out and capitalize on this.
>>37424903

Shit was weird at first but I got use to it...I always get shit when I go back home though because I'm use to a more casual look but my parents are very strict on grooming. My sister always says I'm going to get shit if I come out in just a plain white tshirt.

mfw when that was the first and yet only girl i ever approached out of no where, feels good even if i'm to much of a faggot to ask for the number yet
>>37427841
man I have a gym crush as well and I'm too autistic to interpret her body language or stares as just coincidence or signs of attraction. I wish I could talk to her but I think she's too qt to not be taken.
Anyway, I'm happy for you I hope you make it
>>37427865
man the girl i approached is really cute, probably like a 8/10 and has a really nice body. she was there sometimes with 2 other guys but you just have to try, she is single so your girl is probably too
>>37423874
Or in a Monty Python sketch.
I started 5/3/1 this year after about three years of calisthenics, and I've been progressing nonstop. Bench and squat are going well, especially. Did squats yesterday, had to do 3 reps@143lbs for the last set, and I was able to do 8 reps. I might need to recalculate my max.
At my city's carnival event last weekend, a girl friend of mine told me that she had a thing for me, and we made out a bit. Now I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth it getting together with her. Never had that feel before.
>>37427971
Don't recalculate your maxes. Follow the progression laid out - you're meant to be obliterating the required rep numbers most of the time.

>>37421660
One of my mates fancies himself as a slick businessman.
Makes new acquaintances every three months, mostly female. Builds up business relationships with them, uses most of them for sex and rips them off for money and their business stock.
My mate has been reminded the last time it was his ankles which paid the price. He still not learned from the previous lesson. Now the payments will be taken by moving up North, but on his body.
Mate phones me, crying, "I'm done something, and this guy is collector...I don't know who to go to...".
I meet collector, who is very pissed off, but also a good guy that will negotiate. I sort it peacefully. Meet new businessman.
Six weeks pass, what's left of my mates door is kicked in as warning from another investor who wants to withdraw their funds & take his business elsewhere.
Mates house gets trashed, third time in 18 months. He gets dogchain, one end goes over a bathroom ceiling beam, the other around his kneck and slides off bath. Female investor he's invited round saves him.
Eight weeks pass, his door goes in again. I hang up on him.
Rinse, wash, repeat.

You have no idea how far away 40kg felt to me when I was struggling.
When I did it I didn't yell or smirk or anything, I just gave myself a moment of quiet personal pride.
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to go further now.
Feels pretty good.

I did read the full book, but I don't remember him writing that I should just stick to the progression, even if I can do 8-10 reps of an exercise. I might revisit it, though.

don't put on pic related at the end of your barbell. You can just hold one part of the bar higher than the other when you fail. The weights will fall off and you only have to care about puttinge the bar back up.
>my OHP went up this week
>>37429155
>and you only have to care about puttinge the bar back up
And the shame in knowing the entire gym heard and saw your failure
Fixed my diet and got on dem steady gains again. Just hit 1plate OHP yesterday and about to hit 2plate bench.
Was at a bar with friends and one told me we should go hit on some chicks. I went to a table alone, said hi to a girl who's friend just left to order drinks and sat down. She's suddenly really into me and pretty much did rest of the talking. We made out and she wanted to go to my place but I found an excuse to dump her. I just wasn't horny or feeling it. Nice confidence boost anyway, though I felt bad for leading her on.
Been getting random mires like cashier lady staring at my chest and biting her lip.
I'm feeling pretty good considering just a couple of months ago I was stalling on my lifts and feeling unwanted and unconfident in general.
>>37429212
not worse than the roll of shame. And it's easier

>>37429287
heck, you dont even need a spotter on lower weights, its not like 85lbs will break bones an shit i bench 245 and i dont have a spotter
>>37429155
hmmm, yeah, I don't know if I would recommend that exactly... That seems pretty dangerous. Once a big plate falls off on one side, you will flail the bar to the other side, then those bars will fall off and the bar will jerk over to the other side again, ...
not really a good feel or any feel, just a green text
>qt coworker and I shooting the shit at work
>starts doing a fake valley girl accent
>get a raging hard on
>keep trying to bait her into doing the voice
I dont know what it is, but hearing her talk like a slutty valley girl gets me going so hard.
I want her so bad.
>>37429550
I've done it for over a year now.
The plates on one end pretty much come down at nearly the same time so you'll get them off in one go. You're right that the bar will flail over to the other side but it's easily controlled (I didn't even have to think about it in the beginning). All that means for you is that you have to put a bit less force into it after being exhausted by trying to set a new PR.
>>37429582
Just rape her man,she is asking for it.
>gf left me 6 months ago for some other guy

Felt fucking incredible.
Too bad I'm still not over her and instead it made me cry.

Can't stop listening to podcasts when going somewhere though.
>>37429662
fuck her, afterwards cease all contact with her
>>37430042
>drop the weight
I hope you didn't just drop it at the top position, cause that just means you did only half the movement
I mean congrats on 245 and all but still never neglect the eccentrics
>>37421660
I would motorboat those until we reach the coast of america
>>37431267
I lowered the bar. English isn´t my first language, sorry
>>37431267
you're fucking retarded
>>37429662
when she says that, what she actually means is that she wants you to come over and fuck her, but wants to feel like it's not her fault. It's an invitation. That is about as forward as a non-completely-schizo female will get.
Probably better for you emotionally if you just take the compliments and run tho

You'd be upset if you've been pressurised all your life to let guys fuck you, told to stop being an 'uptight bitch' or a 'prude', sex is all they want from you, sex is all you are good for and guys will fuck anything with a vagina etc, then you're prepared to devalue yourself for this guy and he says no. Usually you guys complain about the fact you didn't get at least a bj on the first date. But I can totally get not wanting to fuck in a cramped space. She didn't let you reschedule?

Ask her. I couldn't get laid until I was 20 because every nice guy I liked thought I had a BF I was lying about already
>>37431543
You don't want a woman who clearly gives no fucks about her current BF and is ONLY interested in you again because of what you look like, toying with your emotions AND is inviting you with silly games. Call me schizo but I had to make the first move on my bf of 4 years because I actually knew what I fucking wanted.

Guess I failed to explain properly.
I joined the army, I used some of the inheritance to pay my rent and bills and stuff while I was training to get into shape before I joined, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to qualify into the role I want (Paratrooper), if I'd kept working then I wouldn't have had the time to train as I used to get up at 6am and not get home until around 7:30pm because I have to travel really far for work, now I'm earning in the army, I put the money into a savings account so I can buy a house when I'm married and stuff.
I've given a significant amount of money to a local charity and done volunteering work in Cambodia and Portugal, and planning to do some more in Neoal in about 3 months, don't make the mistake of assuming I'm some kind of dick just because I got some money, it doesn't define you.
I'll ignore the hurtful things you said, I'm sure you didn't mean it boyos.
>>37426882
She lived, we weren't that close but it was still quite rough at the time, she works and stuff now so just getting on with life I guess.
>>37432712

you landed an above average sedentary girl. anyone would look "high test" sitting like that.

>lifts are going back up in general; nothing spectacular but I'm making fast progress
Life in general is starting to feel less like existential panic and moving to being able to see a future for myself. It was a pretty dark time for a year after a hard break up and making a huge career change. The experience made me grow a lot and realize that as long as you maintain your efforts, good things will come. I know it's not lifting, but I hope that I can put it in your guys' heads that there's light at the end of the tunnel.
>>37421660
got a squat pb today. 1x185kg (408lb) at 180cm, 90kg
>>37432388
Did you... read the whole post? He's noticably improved his life - THAT is "making it"
He said he never had difficulty with girls and that wasn't the point of his post
>>37432119
Nah she said she didnt want to fuck anymore, Idk I think she was buttmad about it too
>>37426060
that's pretty good because according to a calculator your 1rm is only 250.

holy shit dude read your unread texts.
>>37431796
Same.
>>37429223
at least the roll of shame requires some effort and doesn't disturb others or attract attention by dropping fucking weights
>>37429217
or you set yourself up for a great sex session if/when you see her again. i used to be capable of being charming and pulling chicks, but i was too chicken shit to bring them home, so it became a game for a while where i'd make out with girls and then blow them off. some of them would go crazy thinking it was going to lead somewhere (which it didn't because, again, i was self-conscious and a pussy), but the smart ones figured out i was just playing with them. i manned up too late to take full advantage of it and i will always regret that
>>37429662
fuck her, man. go ahead and use her and then expose her cheating to her bf. the bitch isn't loyal (as he should already know) so you'll be doing her a favor, unless it doesn't bother him
i'd give anything to fuck some of my ex's, man, but it's a good thing i never will have the chance because i'd hate fuck the life out of them. no joke, i'm sure i'd kill them. probably choke them out while cumming

I know those feels.
Took a lil visit myself to snap city. At this point I was addicted to going to the gym so after a month I started swimming, yoga, stretching everyday, etc. It's been around 4/5 months and I finally started doing squats again.
unfortanately I literally have to stretch everyday or else my back feels suspect. Take the good with the bad I guess...

I dont feel much different for now, except very horny in morning and evening. Also feel like Im not a degenerate anymore fapping to twisted shit, and have more time to be productive. Never realized how porn can completely fuck you up until a few days ago.
