>Started in May of this year as a 6'2" 195lbs skinnyfat
>Didn't care about nutrition or have a disciplined diet. Ate when hungry, ate whatever I wanted, and that was it. Did no physical activity to speak of whatsoever.
>Now, 175lbs, gym 3-4 times a week. Lifting numbers aren't impressive (halfway to 1/2/3/4), but feeling good about my progress.
>Now I eat smarter and with more discipline. Drastically cut back on high sugar foods and fast foods. Lifting and cardio every workout (used to be just lifting), daily stretching and mobility work.
>Feels good man. Looking forward to lifting more and more weight. Having never been athletic/active/fit in my entire life, benching 1pl8 is a massive morale boost and something I genuinely never thought I'd be able to do.
>Totally worth it.
>I am making it.
>Healthy and happy life.
>No mire stories to speak of. Don't care about mires, I do it for me.

>>Who were you when you started?
Lonely engineer; high school jock who stopped exercising for five years.
>>What were your bad habits when you started?
Drinking, candy, fast food, no sleep, WoW. Stopped reading anything good.
>>How much progress have you made?
Best shape of my life. Getting laid regularly. Making money.
>>What are your new (hopefully good) habits?
Lifting, boxing, healthy eating, reading, socializing.
>>How do you feel about yourself and about life now?
Infinitely better.
>>Has it been worth it?
A million times over.
>>Do you think you're going to make it?
Making it is a journey, not a destination. I can always be better.
>>What is your goal?
Get rich, travel, fuck lots of cute foreign girls.
>>What has been your best mire yet?
New neighbor girl saw me shirtless, invited herself into my apartment, naked within five minutes.
Best advice I could offer /fit/ is not to squander your strengths out of fear or laziness. I gave up years of potential money/pussy because it was easier to study hard and play video games than to study hard and socialize or work. Let my body and social life go to shit. Then I made excuses for going cocoon mode after I started lifting. Don't do that, you're only delaying your success.

>>35226380
Started in may of this year, Was benching 120 or so at 5'11 and 150 lbs, bulked about 10 lbs during the summer and got my max bench to 185 (currently 200 now) and my squat to about 250. I've started cutting and I'm at about 155 now. I have some decent muscle mass but my back is still pretty underdeveloped. My goal is to bench 100 lbs over my bodyweight and get my bf % low enough for great ab definition
>>35226718
kek, /fit/ preventing suicides, keep the good work mate.
>>35226745
Also I have wide bitch hips which makes me sad so I've been going hard on lats to even that shit out, I've also gotten new pr's while cutting which is pretty rad although progress is a lot slower.

>Started as a smoker and heavy drinker that had just failed uni and lost gf started July this year
> quit smoking and only drink once every two weeks now
> eating healthy and getting a good amount of sleep and got a good job
>realised I don't want kids or a mortgage doing more stuff for me
>Yeah it was worth it
> no goal really and dunno if I'm gonna make but doesn't look like I'm gonna stop soon
>only mire was my sister who kept looking at my abs and chest and stuttering when I was just in my towel the other day , I didn't ask for this
>Who were you when you started?
Some cardiofag who played soccer. Wanted to increase athleticism so lifted weights to get more explosive and get dat dere vertical jump
I was a cardio machine with RHR of 49
>What were your bad habits when you started?
Late night gaming. Took me a year to realize I was gaming my sleep gains away.
>How much progress have you made?
Not as much as I would like. I have become so centered around my lifting that it's the only thing I can think of as of now. I feel like I should be lifting more weight compared to how much time I spend thinking about lifting, gathering information etc.
But to quantify: Spend 1.5 years fucking around. Still made some gains on brosplit but when I hopped on Candito Upper lower, I have made more trackable progress.
March 14
Bench 80 kg x 3
Squat 100 kg x 6
Deadlift 105 x 6
Now
Bench 82 x 8
Squat 125 x 5
Deadlift 140 x 6
>What are your new (hopefully good) habits?
More consistent meal frequency, better sleeping habits and more willpower to stay away from sweets during cuts.
>How do you feel about yourself and about life now?
Pretty bland. Feel like my life is school and lifting. It's gonna be better when I graduate and become a nurse this summer. I think that will help a lot of my self worth and self esteem issues. I surprisingly positive right now.
>Has it been worth it?
Just wished I started earlier.
>Do you think you're going to make it?
I'm stil not sure what "making it" means. I just know I'm on the right path mentally, physically and academically. That's all that counts for me right now.
>What is your goal?
This new year
Bench 105 x 1 paused
Squat 125 x 6
Deadlift 137 kg x 6.
I achieved the deadlift goal easily since switching to sumo. Been struggling with conventional deadlift and tried out sumo. Holy fuck it felt so much more natural. Now I'm shooting for 150 kg x 6 for new year. It's quite ambitious but I'm gonna give it a shot since I feel beastlike when doing sumo.

So far going to the gym and doing cardio and losing 30 pounds is the only thing that has kept me from killing myself these past 3 months.
Thinking I may one day make it is motivating.

Blonde sorority girl took off my shirt when things were getting heated. She said my body was literally perfect. Couldn't stop touching my pecs. Also, a week ago, some grills were walking down my dorm hall when I was at the water fountain filling up my shaker cup shirtless at 2:30am. They couldn't stop staring. When they were walking away I hear, "He's so hot!" "I knoooooooow."
