How fucked am I, /fit/? I gained 10 lbs over the past 6 weeks, and lost a lot of definition in my muscles/abs (180 at this point). Will I be able to look semi-decent if I go back to the gym and get back on my diet/IF?

july 27 is enough time, you will be back in shape with ease with all that muscle memory.
trust me
>>37060849
Good to hear. I figured muscle memory would help some, but I didn't know if I'd have to do extreme cutting or over the top exercises to lose 15 lbs by then.
Also a little paranoid about lifting even though my lawyer is advising against it. But I've been so depressed since I stopped going to the gym, I feel like I'll go nuts if I sit out for another 2 months.
>>37060813
If its only six weeks, it should be no problem.
You already know everything about lifting and your body has muscle memory and coordination left over.
>>37060813
take it easy no autismo

I would be paranoid too.
desu i would leave out compounds like diddly and squats completely.
I would still do bench, but not the others, that would be just too scary for me.
Also, isolation > compounds.
>>37060989
Good advice. I was planning on leaving out deadlifts anyway though. I guess no squats also makes sense.
I was actually planning on leaving out back exercises altogether, but the other day I did some pull ups and everything seemed okay. But when I tried to dead lift 200lbs, my back started to hurt.

Read this anon. http://gregnuckols.com/2013/07/08/a-bit-of-everything/
A few paragraphs down, but he touches on why you can regain muscle fast, since I feel like you need to know science is behind you. You have plenty of time, and 2 months to undo 6 weeks of damage is pretty fkn awesome odds. Good luck anon,you can do it.

bruh lemme tell you. I injured my back last summer working bad enough that I struggled to put on shorts July-December. Started going to a chiro who was more like a physiotherapist desu and we focused mainly on exercises. I get that it's frustrating as fuck and feels like it isn't even getting better. I couldn't left july-jan and dislocated my shoulder in sept so that didn't help. Qt gf broke up with me eventually because I was a sadknt with a fucked up back and I was depressed as fuck. Couldn't lift, bitch acted like a bitch (who could've knew) but I got back into it in Jan. I was deadlifting 135 pounds in Jan with a decent amount of pain but physio said I needed to do it. Bench dropped to 205 and squat to 135. Before this shit was at 455lbs deadlift, 295 bench and 315 squat 6'3 210lbs. Oh also the not being able to workout made me put on a decent amount of weighit and went up to 235-240. However now in the beginning of May I've stopped being a sadknt and my bench is back at 285, diddly 405 and squat 265 also lost ~20 pounds and am sitting at 215 now with my goal being 200. It's never over, only if you're a pussy and I know you're not anon.

Planning a party eight weeks in advance?
And also, who has a party on a fucking Monday?
>>37061509
I'm not planning the party, it's an end of the summer party the complex throws every year. And sorry, I guess it must be the 25th. It's the last Saturday in July.
