Honest question, how has your life changed since you started lifting?
qt unrelated
>>35221880
What qt?
People treat me with respect
Women occasionally tell me I'm attractive
>>35221880
I feel smaller than ever before.
Not at all. I'm way better looking but I'm still a shut in virgem
Tinder gains
>>35221880
I have more confidence and stand up for myself a lot more
White people are even more scared of me.
Fat chicks and middle-aged women always tryna holla.
I feel better in general
>>35221892
She might not be an 10/10, but she has her own charm I guess. She looks very approachable, and probably makes really cute noises. That raises her to at least 8/10 in my book.
I can squat more than before
>>35221880
>tfw all your dreams came true
I became more confident and people no longer think I'm gonna shoot up the school.
>>35222100
it's all fun and games till you get into a confrontation with a frustrated cop
>>35223161
I'm well aware of how to deal with cops having a bad day without nigging out.
>>35223155
>tfw now people think i'll smash their face
>>35222100
>>35223186
ayyy
>mfw it's still the same
>mfw muscles don't compensate social autism
Beaners at work all jealous steppin up their white hatred. Fuck california and the spic majority
better posture and confidence
clothes fit better
looks improved
stronger
feel more motivated and awake
>>35221880
A lot, but that is prinarly because I socially developed. Being /fit/ opened a lot of doors for me, but I still had to reach out to open them first, if that makes sense.
(Yes, "doors" is an euphenism for "pussy")
>>35223231
just vote for Trump, he'll deport all non-whites and make america great
I feel more depressed and insecure than ever before.
Nothing socially but I just feel more happy, its nice.
>>35221880
I actually feel like I can fuck someone up if I have to. I when used to be skinnier got into fights from time to time ( not often maybe once every a year - two years or so that was from like age 15-20). Never lost or got kod, usually jabbed my way out by busting their nose open and always felt like I was lucky, since didnt get tackled or lifted and thrown. Now if someone would fuck with me I feel like I have some strength and they have to be worried, not the other way around.
So whit that comes that I am not as scared as I used to to be around some drunk fucks at a club or a bar, or walking down the street late at night.
Confident, feel more attractive.
Pre working out slept with 1 girl. Post working out have slept with 4 more. I know its not a lot, but I was shy skinny, had gyno before.
Also I feel like when I have to go to a job interview ( still 2nd year student of avionics/ airplane mechanics) Job interviewer wont see me as a little baby faced boy, but a man.
>>35223304
>overcompensating manlet detected
I swapped out a couple of hours a day of computer time for preparing food and going to the gym
>>35221880
it has become a huge time sink for me. a total of 10 hours per week.
I think I've gone more depressed. I don't think it has anything to do with lifting though.
>>35223069
6/10 at best desu senpai.
>>35221880
Not much yet. But I've been only lifting for four months.
>>35221880
I feel more confident about my body, and generally in a better mood. Also, it became my favourite hobby, to the point that I actually started working with it.
Best thing is having guys checking out my butt, tho. kek Went from flat ass and twig legs to having a nice butt and good looking legs. The hormones also helped quite a bit with that, with the fat distribution kek.
>>35221880
I think I'm happier.
I laugh audibly more often now. Before I used to mostly breathe out my nose, smile and think "that's funny", but now I actually laugh from funny videos, posts and shit.
I remember when it started happening I was surprised because I never used to laugh, so I guess that's an improvement.
>>35221880
It got better.
I have a habit now of actually improving my life to get resulsts instead of bitching about it all the time. Don't get me wrong, I still have the urge to only complain, but it's being replaced but everything else I do. Weightlifting, yoga, cardio, actual work (was a shut in neet). I even started a let's play series coz it seemed fun + it will boost my social confidence (talking) level.
>>35221921
this desu. Although I do feel a lot better and enjoy seeing my progress.
>>35221921
This for me as well, i've gained like 25 kg and i feel smaller than when i started, no matter how big people tell me i look-
>>35223477
boring
>>35221880
Eh, it didn't. Except that now in uni I'm considered one of the bigger guys. You know, get stuff like "you look strong lmao you could beat this guy's ass" or something. Either than that, I still wanna die.
I went from not being able to lift stuff to being able to lift stuff. Practical.
Body went from flab to tight but nobody has noticed because nobody cares :(
I look way better than I did before, both with regards to my body and posture, but the main thing for me is how I don't get any pain after working longer hours anymore.
I used to have crazy back pains, shoulder pains, and my legs would ache all the time. Considered going to the doc and getting on dat dere disability money at 21 years old so I could sit and be a sloppy fat atrophied mess and play videogames all day.
Got confidence through the roof and a brighter outlook on life, social gains have been strong.
Best thing is, some of my mates are starting to catch on, and took to eating healthier and doing some basic exercise too.
Well, now I spent a significant portion of my free time in this big building called a "Gym".
Men have become more hostile against me. More autistic than before and spend more time alone. Stil feels good though.
My self-consciousness and charisma went through the roof. Lifts are shit, but I don't even care as long as I can increase the weight from time to time. Have a lot of girls around me, more than before I started I guess. Most of them told me it's my charisma that makes me extremely attractive, although they like my body too. But it's not more than a bonus. So I guess lifting at least helped me with confidence, so that I feel good in my own body and act like it.
>>35221880
Women keep subtly hitting on me and I keep overtly fucking it up because of my autism.
>inb4 if you were really autistic, you wouldn't pick up on them hitting on you
Oh well, at least I can bench lmao2pl8 and some change for reps.
>>35223515
probably just went from shit to average then. Halfway to looking great
>>35223281
this
I feel better physically, mentally I am less and less of a coward than before.
>>35224479
Good point
>>35221880
Nothing really, still autistic.
Had an escort compliment my body but I'm guessing she was just being nice.
My mental state has gotten worse and it's only getting worser. I think it's related to me getting older(25) and my life being complete trash.
At least I'm not fat anymore.
this teebeeaych pham
I became obsessed with becoming better at everything I do
>>35221880
My kik game went from awkward to "Oh, you're looking good" and me still being an autist that eventually fucks it up. That is the only noticable difference, besides my new bromanger being a bro to me because she's miring. And all the other people that mire. But I'm r9k-tier so I'm still fucked. I think I need an adult.
>>35223509
I know how you feel.
Started lifting 1 year ago and progressed a lot.
But I still feel like shit and struggle with depression.
nothing changed, im still an autist
been lifting for 4 years, 3 girls made a move on me but i didnt know how to escalate/thought theyre just being nice/thought theyre joking
its just fun seeing my lifting numbers go up and lifting became a habit already.
all i think about is how other people look better and lift more than me now
Ive gotten stretch marks
Animorphs is pretty comfy
most women are unattractive to me now due to how out of shape they are. my gf is very lax about her gym habits in terms of going regularly and her performance while she is there plus eats like shit and as a result i am losing respect for her and attraction to her.
>>35225560
thissss. I went from having no gf and wanting basically any living female under 200 pounds to having no gf and feeling picky as fuck about girls. Does the madness never end?
>>35221880
>got a qt dancer gf
>no longer depressed
funny because the depression went away pretty quick, exercise really does help.
>>35223250
>implying America was ever great
>>35224388
>My self-consciousness and charisma went through the roof.
German detected. Self-consciousness is actually a bad thing in English. You're looking for self-"confidence".
>>35223069
6/10 at best, her bullshit would get so fucking annoying
>>35227742
Who is she? Is she a bitch?
>>35223069
you know that's a guy, right?
>>35227651
That raises an interesting point about the English language though. Being conscious of yourself should be a neutral thing, not necessarily a negative thing.
>>35227872
>>>/lit/
get out faggot
>>35221880
>since i started lifting
not affected much
>since i started caring about lifting for myself
nothing but better every day
>>35224312
iktf
>>35221921
This fucking right here. Every day feel smaller. It sucks man
I've noticed a sharp increase in:
>"Why are you so quiet anon? Teehee
From female co-workers/classmates/acquaintances.
My family has also started jokingly referring to me as "meathead". That's about it.
>>35227872
>Being conscious of yourself should be a neutral thing
It has an equivalent kind of meaning to manual breathing. If you think about Heidegger and his different levels of beingness, neutral is just doing shit and barely even thinking about it.
Tbf self consciousness isn't always negative either. If more mindfulness is needed it can be a positive but it's nearly always mentioned in a negative sentiment either way whether you're not self conscious enough or too much so.
>>35227800
Well shit, even better.
>>35221880
>Honest question, how has your life changed since you started lifting?
Whenver I meet an old friend I haven't seen in a long while they usually comment on the muscles.
Otherwise nothings changed, I was a virgin when I was a skellie and I'm a virgin now.
you get more respect from people, and lots of dudes will assume you're a football player
>start new job
>meet my supervisor
>woah man you're a bigguy4u
>you play football?
>>35223069
>probably makes really cute noises
For some reason that made me laugh. Thanks, anon.
Thats a dude.
Yeah, on the contrary it got worse.
Nobody listens to me, I can't even finish a fucking sentence without someone talking over me. I do things for others alot, now they think that it's my job. Instead of asking if I can do something, they tell me GO FUCKING DO THIS... YOU'LL BE THE ONE DOING IT!
Jesus fucking christ /fit/, I'm the biggest and strongest cunt I know, but people just treat me like a fucking tool. I've stopped speaking unless someone asks me a question, but when I answer I STILL GET SPOKEN OVER!
Fucking kill me /brehs/

>>35230778
Tell them to kiss your well defined muscular ass.
>>35221880
every day like things are easier. tasks are now vary manageable. people dont fuck with me now.
>>35221880
I feel better than ever and able to focus better than ever, physically and mentally. Women pay more attention to me than before (prev skinnyfat).
I know objectively look better and am stronger, but I feel smaller and weaker than ever.
My self-hatred/dysmorphia has hit an all-time high, despite my social and personal life being good.
I did amazing. I was confident, learned how to dress and i became open and social. I was talking to girls and getting laid. Got a girlfriend and it totally ruined my perception on women. 3 wasted years, so much wasted money, wasted miles on my car, potential ruined friendships with other girls or getting laid.
I hate everything.
I lift for the hormones rushes and now I'm just extremely horny.
>>35221880
Angelica?
Other than the fact that more people glace at me when I go shirtless jogging, not much. This is what happens when you don't have an attractive face to match
>>35221880
the usual:
>more confidence
>somehow can actually talk to grills, must be the natty test kicking in
>grills mire when chest and shoulder pump is on
>grills mire veiny forearms, thank you diddys
>grills actually talk to me
>more respect from guys
>being 6 ft living in socal around dyel manlets makes me the dominant man most of the time
>more grills mire
sucks my face is 5/10 at best, big nose, receding chin, still like 20%+ bf and need braces
but it feats being fat and dyel
>>35230778
You have to act like the part of cocky muscular asshole or they'll take advantage of you. Learn from Zyzz on this one.
