Feels good. Good feel thread.
I squatted 50 kg the other day.
>be me a couple weeks ago
>struggle do do one pull up
>be me now
>do 3 pull ups
Not much, but it sure feels like a lot of progress in two weeks, and this is a good feels thread.

Then I woke up in my cold room remembering it was all a dream. Was pretty sad that it didn't actually happen. Went to the gym to lift my feels away, had a pretty good workout, increased in squats and deadlifts. Dream made me question some things and see it in a different perspective, on my way out of gym while still pumped up decided to call girl in question and ask her on a date. She said yes.
I figure it doesn't matter anymore, if I fuck up I'm still in the same position as I've always been.

>>35288085

>>35288341

>>35288312
Good on you, Anon!
>>35288386
I do back on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
>Iso-Lateral High Row 3x8
>Lat Pull-down 3x8
>Rear Delt Fly 3x8
>Bent Over Rear Delt Row 3x8
It used to be as many pull-ups as I could, but those are enough now that I can put them into sets.

We're going to a christmas party tomorrow tho, so I'll most likely end up making out with her. I also told the girl I've been fooling around with this month to fuck off, since she has a boyfriend and was just using me. Last year, around this time I was a kissless, hugless virgin masturbating to hentai, I am far from making it but I wanted to tell you that I love you guys

>>35288341
Cool dude. Ever tried switching it up to sumo or deficit dl's? Deficit's feel great for me, pulled 140 for 5 last time
>>35288636
What's a deficit dl?

>could only do 80lbs a month ago
I know my stats ain't exactly high for that, but I'm satisfied with the rate of my progress, and can see a difference in my body.
5'10, 165lbs btw
I was 12 when I did 3 sets of 20 pullups
>>35288830
that's because you weight shit.
88
>>35288862
>>35288830
Sorry man, but he's right: kids and skinny fuckers have it so easy on pull ups..they weigh nothing, and if you have enough arm strength to hold a can of pop, you can do lotsa pull ups.
Got 3x8 chinups today my personal best
>>35288085
Good job OP
>hurt the fuck out of my shoulder

>still no gf, but it's ok
>have 2 girls texting me first all the time from this summer (i was skellymode but i had abs, so that might be the reason) not sure how to handle the attention but i'm learning pretty fast
>last week a big dude complimented me on my squat depth, saying that he has never seen someone irl going that low with decent weight (i was using 120kg 3x5)
looks like things are going pretty good
>>35288736
It's like a regular deadlift but you put yourself on a higher plane (sorry, couldn't word it better, sounds like metaphysical shit) than the bar, like standing on top of some pl8s
>>35288486
>"I like them short, like cretin level short"
absolute patrician taste brah
>>35288946
I just wanna wrap those thighs around my face and feel that pulse.
>>35288951
>cretin level short
Not him, but I dated a 4'11 half asian gril once. DDs too. Absolutely God-tier
I hit Weighted Chins bw +10kg/22lbs for 3x5 yesterday.
Im not sure how I should progress though, 3x5 always? How many times a week? Only add weight once a week? Like 1kg a week?
>>35289880
I'd say it'd be safe to add 5 pounds every 2 weeks if you're absolutely destroying your biceps twice a week. If it's lighter work, three times a week. If it's just the chin-ups, 4 times.
>one month ago
