Former alcoholic lanklet here. Resisted the urge to get drunk last night, finally hit 2 pl8 bench press this morning. Glorious day. We're all gonna make it. How are you?
>lifting consistently for about 3 years.
>Was getting a bit dull

This is the first time i have ever broken a bone or had to stay away from the gym for something other than illness. This sucks.

Good job btw on resisting to drink. There's so many other ways you can enjoy yourself. It's kind of annoying how my roommates can't think of anything else to do during the weekend. It's fun but it's not the only thing worth living for.
lmao2pl8 is a great milestone. Good job
Why can I do a million isolation exercises but when I do one light full body CNS activation routine I'm absolutely dead? Like can't recover for days
>gave in to urge to drink last night
>not going to gym today
>no going to make it
>>34990927
Sorry bro, but at least you're still pullin qts
>>34990961
Thanks man, its a struggle because it really is 'instafun', but since quitting I've been packing on the muscle, it feels like being on gear compared to where I was before.
>>34990984
Full body compound lifts work you out better.
>>34991021
Don't beat yourself up about it bro, simply being aware of your problem is progress, and every time you try to quit increases your chances of success next time.
>>34991021
Come on now, buddy!
You can still bounce back!

Hold me brehs, tell me its going to be okay
Posting in most bro-tier thread on /fit/
I also drank last night. Been doing it to try to curb my depression. Currently have herniated disc and tight hammies. Can't deadlift or squat without snapping shit worse. Don't wanna lift light or do calisthenics. Just don't enjoy it. I lifting the big 5 heavy.
In the mean time, just trying to strengthen core and back and stretch. We're all gonna make it brahs
Ran a 22m24s 5k today, hungry as fuck, already had my calories for today.
>>34991286
its going to be okay bro
>>34990797
doing good finally hit 3 plate bench press it was just 3 sets of singles but still it was 3 plates
good job on avoiding the drink man one day at a time
>>34990984
Haha you're in Atlanta. I matched with that chick
>Hit 1 pl8 bench
>1pl8 squat after realizing I'm fucking autistic and you're not supposed to isolate your quads alone when squatting
>OHP about 35kgs, got to get on that next session
>added in sumo deadlifts and they fucking murder my back but feel really good to do, can pull about 80kgs bar not included at the moment
I'm doing OK. It's the mental me that's really fucked atm but I'm trying to pull it back, going to therapy and making some progress even if it's small. Mental gains man...
i dunno, /fit/, you tell me

>been cutting from fatty fat 73in 215lbs
>hit 205 today.
I cut all the way down from 220 to 180 last year and gained it all back... but i wasnt exercising then and ive been working out every day even since before I started cutting, so i look way better at this weight than i did last time. still got some hope, just not for falling in love for another 2 years until i get over her. plan is to get mad sexy and then she'll be jealous and i can reject her when she wants me back. i am very aware of how mature this is, dgaf desu famalamily
2016 is my year
>6 months into recovering from 3 years of Lyme Disease
>joints hurt
>muscles are so atrophied that it hurts for 2 days after doing 20 push ups
>want to die but don't want to get fat or stay weak
It's really hell on Earth. I can't run for more than a minute at a time.
>>34991286
just quit man...
it's not like rowing will make you a millionaire or a chick magnet anyway
>Had a grant approved
>Going into finals with all As
>only need to lose about 5 more lbs to get my cut where I want it to be
>got to bodyweight OHP
>got laid last night and possibly acquired gf

>know she's a cunt
>still feel sad
>still want my dick sucked
>>34992056
Millionaire, no. But you get to know a lot of girls, I've fucked a few from the club. If you want to get any from anyone, you have to be fucking good at rowing. In terms of the sport, it feels like an abusive relationship that I can't get out of.
>got real sick couldn't eat for a week
>get a kidney stone couldn't eat for a week and spend it in a hospital
>now got strep for the fourth time in a year and can barely eat
>all of this in a little over a month
I must've lost at least 15 lbs by now
>>34992011
>>want to die but don't want to get fat or stay weak
youll make it. just keep going
>>34992196
I've gotten to the point where I run every day so I feel I will make it but it still fucking sucks and having 90 year old man feet, knees and blood pressure doesn't help.
>>34992257
Just keep it up. Swim. Lift. Eat clean. You can do it.
>>34991021
I know the pain.
This morning I check my bank balance. -150
Fuck me.
Terrible. Started fucking up my cut, depressed, memories come back to me
>wakemeup
The urge to drink or smoke till I pass out is real.
4 eams next week
Hold me /fit/
>>34992297
Cheer up bud, at you least you aren't riddled with tick parasites that eat your brain and muscles
>>34991311
>I also drank last night. Been doing it to try to curb my depression
That's a bad road to go down anon. Speaking from experience. It will only make you worse.
>>34991311
drinking to curb your depression is a great way to become dependent
>>34990797
I just ate a bowl of vanilla ice cream and I feel Im gonna puke out of despair.
>propositioned my ex gf a couple of days ago, got turned down despite it being "really fucking tempting"
>yesterday morning found I'd dropped under 160 for the first time in years, t-thanks cutting
>ruined it all last night by going out for dinner and drinks with qt friend, she's buying me craft beers
>end up back at hers, first fuck since breakup
I'm torn. I ruined my cut, but craft beers and sex. Tell me how weak I am, /fit/.
>>34992337
Captain Morgan and I sail through the seas of my depression
>>34992374
You're a dirty fucking normie is what you are.
>>34992374
Honestly, unless you lift to compete in something someday, you should really be lifting to just give yourself better quality of life. You stuck with your cut, you've made progress, you took a day and went out and had a good time with your friends and even got laid. Take the good from it, don't dwell and just move forward.
>>34992383
Ah, the self-deprecating humor. Classic. It's all fun and games until you wake up shaking while you reach for that handle you have tucked under your bed. Yes, I know I'm projecting
>23
>have 6 million dollars from grandpa's death
>work hard but nothing means anything.
at least i can't buy gains
>tfw jew
>tfw 20% bf
>>34992419
Ouch. Thanks for that dude.
>>34992419
Jesus does it really get that bad?
>>34992426
Fellow inheritancefag here.
Your work means a lot more than you think. Do you best to add to that 6mil instead of just living off it. Try to make good ol jewpa proud.
>>34992436
I'm at the point where I kill a fifth in 4 or 5 days and I can definitely see that happening.
I'm having a couple of beers to wind down after a busy week at college.
Between trying to catch up with all the reports due for next week and depression related to all the shitty things happening over the world, I'm doing pretty fine.
>>34992111
Fuck your good life and your trips
>>34992497
God man. I'm familiar with the concept of projection but it really seems as if everyone I meet is unhappy right now. I know I'm saying this on /fit/ but that's not the only place I see it.
>>34992458
>Your work means a lot more than you think. Do you best to add to that 6mil instead of just living off it. Try to make good ol jewpa proud.
Considering becoming a professor of greek philosophy. Why add to the 6? I don't need any more, I have everything I could want, and my children will have plenty.
Starting a business right now with my best buddy b/c the jump into academia is too big at the moment, got to do something else
Whats your story, fellow friend? You're gonna make it.
>>34992534
Constant media blabber about socioeconomic problems combined with the weather getting colder and no sun can do this, anon.
>>34992554
I know this is fit but are you implying that the media is making up the socioeconomic issues in our nation right now? If anything they're downplaying how bad things are.
>>34992534

That guy here. If you drink heavily on a daily basis for a few years it will happen. I've had binges where I'll have 10-30 drinks in a day for a couple weeks and at the end of it the anxiety is so bad that I would have to have a few drinks to get out of bed.
>lifting for 5 years
>strongest I have ever been
>lean, and most in have ever weighed
>get called huge and shit like that all time
>have decent social life
>suck in school I am just not interested in some topics
>grandpa died today
>my truck payment is late
>being swole mode don't solve your problems guys
>>34991923
Rome wasn't built in a day bro, as long as you're making progress with your body, career, and relationships, you should be damn proud.
>>34992011
Now YOU have some shit to deal with. You deserve a medal if you're pushing through that pain and misery to work out. Nice work man.
>>34992604
20 is a weird age for being sociable. Not quite a teenager anymore, not yet a decadent 20 something. Don't sweat it, things get better once you start narrowing down your career options. Congrats on the weight.
>>34992651
Word. Muscles aren't the only area of life one should work on. Sorry bout your g-pa.
>>34992565
The issues exist, but depending on where you live the media either downplay political mistakes/backtracks which then get pointed out in the internet causing shitstorms or predict the end of the world and socioeconomic collapse and cause even more shitstorms on the internet.
The fact that popular politicians of both left and right don't have rational solutions to problems like the refugee invasion or over-saturation of college graduates doesn't make not worrying about them any easier.
>>34992585
It's winter in Burgerland
>Start getting fit for handegg a bit more than year ago
>After 3 months of liftan find out I didn't have enough money for that season for the necessary insurance
>That and the fact that my progress hadn't been great killed my motivation
>I tried to carry on, but shitty school success made me quit and try to concentrate on school
>Didn't work
>The whole summer I didn't work out because moms' place didn't have room for my barbell
>Tried picking up on the habit of working out every other day again this fall a few times, failed those too
I won't make it because of my shitty excuses. Considering an hero
>>34992658
Thanks man.
>>34992056
Fuck you, leave him alone. You just want everybody to be miserable as you are so you don't feel lonely.
>>34990797
Time of my life, spent a few months 1500miles away from "home". decided to just get a plane ticket and go home for the holidays, work allows it and i'll work from home for a few days, feels good man, not spending thanksgiving alone,
