I'll start out with some of mine today; keep in mind i'm still DYEL
>chest day, at gym with (non DYEL) friend
>after warmups, do my standard weight
>was going to do my next set with same weight
>"Nah anon, you can do more, that was easy"
>bite the bullet and do more, finish my set, though struggle on last rep
>"See? Easy"
>random brownbear mode guy comes up and tells me about my form, and how i can push harder/more weight
>wonder if i should add more weight again, do it
>finish my set with that
I added weight twice to what I planned on lifting as a full working set, felt really nice
I'm also starting to see muscle more when I look in the mirror, I'm so happy

>PR squat

>Follow starting strength for 2 months.
>Don't miss any workouts
>Pull groin squatting bodyweight +25 pounds
I thought it was a hernia, but it turns out to just be a muscle strain. So it's bittersweet since I won't be able to squat or deadlift for like a month, but I don't need surgery.

lads they're all the same in the end.
I used to completely ignore people who said that.
Women physically cannot be self-less people.
>>35265839
Literally me 2 weeks ago
You can do it brah; I'm going for 3 plates this week
been struggling with depression lately and some crappy life stuff had me feeling sorry for myself, but man after banging out a hard deadlift day I always feel 10x better for the rest of the day
>>35266912
Shes better off without you desu
>>35266936
Yeah, I don't dispute that. Sucks for her though, wasted 3 years of her life trying to leech off someone who had a brain.
>>35266948
Sometimes its nice to give people gifts because it feels good.
And if she was just with you to get free shit, she wouldnt have stayed for 3 years whilst you were poor. She probably actually really loved you and imagined a future where you were together but your attitude ruined it.

Yeah i'm sure she imagined a future living in my house, driving my cars and fucking my friends.
Such is life for any one in Engineering/Law/Medical.
>>35266984
Thank God you've stared tripping so I can filter you.
>>35265879
A whole month though? A friend of mine hurt his hip flexors once doing the same, but was squatting lightly after a week and squatting heavy again after another week.
And it didn't stop him from deadlifting (since you don't actually use your hip flexors to deadlift).

Wtf do I even do, planning a trip out of country next year and I want to learn piano and mandarin, but that shit is just mildly interesting time filler
What is the goal of life now that I am sustaining myself and can find as good a partner as I'll probably find? All that is swell, but none of it is interesting
Pls help

I like the doms though. It's a sign that I'm making progress.
>>35266912
lmao this has to be bullshit
you can't seriously be stupid enough to think she really believed you and was just going along with your lies until she realized that there was no end to it
$500 bucks isn't a lot if you're saving all year long, which you should be unless you're a child
but money is beside the point which is, you are selfish, and dense as lead
but go ahead and keep looking for your pats on the back lol
>>35268794
Age? Curious cause I'm in a similar situation
>tfw my husband dumped me
>he's still in love w/ his ex gf
The fck. It has been years since they broke up. I'm raising my 3 yr old kid alone
>>35268431
Give him a thrust for me breh
>>35267200
Don't wait for change to happen, wait until you are ready to change things. Whether it's your attitude or your environment the only person that can change it is you. No one else is going to change your life. News flash: nobody cares about you or your struggles because it doesn't affect them the way it does you. You are the solution to your problems.
>>35269320
Kek
Tell story
>>35269320
Lmao you married a hilarious idiot
>>35266984
fuck off fagot
>>35268873
I know it depends on what job you are going for, but I found for retail jobs that I only got responses when I went to places in person rather than their online system. Give a good impression and hand out resumes. I know its harder but its honestly worth it imo.
>>35269408
We've been so busy with our own lives. We're both working and doesn't have time for each other.
His ex gf tries to contact him bcause they will have a mini reunion this christmas.
They are constantly texting, and he literally told me he still loves her.
I don't really know what to feel
>>35269440
Do you still love him?
Listen, you're in a marriage. Marriage takes work, and to say that you "don't have time for each other" indicates a lack of commitment on both your parts.
>>35269464
Yes.
But it's really hard to push myself for him to love me back. After all those years. I've realized that i was never enough.
Wishing that his ex gf would gain weight. I'll probably stay fit for myself
>>35269521
If he doesn't love you, he doesn't love you. You have a couple of options;
1. Marriage counselling
2. Divorce
To be honest, divorce is probably the best option. Personally I believe once a cheater always a cheater, but that's up for you to decide. Just remember, fool me once, fool me twice.
Don't stay together for the kid. A loveless marriage will hurt them a lot more than if you just get a divorce and explain it to them.
I'd also recommend you get personal counselling, because it sounds like you have low self-esteem
>>35269582
Thank you. Guess i'd rather talk to him tonight and fix things up. If the hole can't be patched, then farewell.
>>35269611
Just be calm, try not to yell, deep breaths. If he doesn't want counselling, see a lawyer
i hate green texting.
Anyway i went to the gym today and we have 2 benches side by side. One bench was free but someone left 1pl8 on it and then my bench had 365 on the bar. Some guy comes up to me, he just entered the gym, points at the 1 plate bench and asks me if im still using it. I laugh out loud and point to the 365 and say nono thats my bench. You can have this one.
It was a funny situation i guess.
>Wake up sunday, allergies fucked me over I'm feverish and sick
>Girlfriend acting weird, distant for no good reason
>Gym doesn't open on sunday so I can't even do some light cardio to take my mind off it.
>Post on /fit/ about it, anons say I'm in for some bad time, hope they are wrong.
>Monday comes and I take my time to talk to her about it
>Says college is too much to handle right now and she needs to step away from me, break up.
>I go to gym, work myself out. Literally push myself as much as I can. Break all my PRs.
>Get great results but Tuesday becomes rest day and I feel like shit, depressed and sore all around.
>Get so tired that for the first time in a long time I manage to sleep a whole night. (Usually have insomnia)
I still feel like shit but its ironic how breaking up is helping me with my lifts. I guess the rage fueled workouts are real.
>About 2.25 months into SS
>Progress slowing, DL actually seems to be going backwards
>In the background, sleep cycle gets fucked up again
>Miss an A workout
>Yesterday, do first A in over a week
>Start by shedding a tear for gains that might have been, worried about how far I've set myself back
>Squats: Progressing again in a higher rep range to avoid FAGS, seems to be working
>OHP: Load the weight from one workout before the last one I did
>Holy shit, this is piss easy!
>DL: was building back from a deload last time, let's see if I can add weight
>Awaken iron!
>Goes up no problem
>See a GT-R in the carpark afterward
I feel totally re-energised now. Moral of the story: take a rest if you need one. Probably didn't need to skip a workout though; next time I'll just have a day where only do warm-up sets.
>>>>35267096
That anon is right though..
you have been asshole for 3 years. Poor girl stayed with u with hope that u will open yourself and love her too.
prob u fucked up ur relationship which could have been for life. And you dont even realised it
kek. Yeah she will be better with someone with brain
>>35269679
>Says college is too much to handle right now
What a useless twat. College is fucking easy, if she can't even handle that then she belongs in the peasant classes and would've only ever been a burden anyway.
just some thoughts
I honestly feel gym and training has saved me in a way
whenever i'm training all my negativity goes away
>all my self pity goes away
>all my self loathing goes away
>all my self feeling of being a worthless piece of shit goes the fuck away
>even when there is a packed gym i feel that it's just me and the iron and nothing else
>>35266697
It's not called failing anymore when you successfully dump 100+ more than once. It's called realizing you want a little more calf mass and biting the bullet.
>>35269784
continued
>whenever I deadlift bar, push the dumbell, pushing the weight up from my shoulders, i feel fucking amazing
>whenever I lift heavy I feel the weight of my fat fuck past going even further
>whenever I see my progress in the mirror, I feel that little bit of gratitude that I made the effort years ago
>whenever im gasping for air after running on the treadmill, I feel great
> when I call lifting therapy im not saying it to look cool, it actually feels great both physically and mentally
If I were to have any regrets about any of this, i regret not doing this earlier
>>35266984
I appreciate your presence trappy-chan.
