WHILE CHAD EATS PIZZA
>>28658691
I really doubt you put that much effort into it. For starters you still have layers of fat on you and obviously never bothered to eat less.
I have the same body
I weigh 160 at 6'
I have no idea how I can cut down my body fat
>>28658691
If you actually have been lifting a lot then your diet is shit. Lifting is a waste of time if you're not cleaning up your diet too dumbass
>>28658691
>years
that is like 2 to 3 months max
>>28658718
I guarantee he didn't change his diet.
>>28658715
That's not how it works.
>>28658731
eat less you foodcuck
>>28658691
>Shitty programming
>shitty diet
>Wondering why you look like garbage
Did you even try?
>>28658731
eat less calories?
cardio?
core exercises?
>it's another lifting thread
why do failed normies fitizens keep flooding my board?
>always try to lift
>manage to increase weights slowly
>eventually get to a mere fucking 100lb
>no matter what I do, I can't go higher
It's like if I add another 4-5lb ontop it becomes the heaviest thing in the world. I've been benching 100lb for like 3 months now.
>>28658740
no fucking shit thats not how it works, still the pasta is hilarious IMO
>>28658714
I lifted 3-4x per week for years. I got back and shoulder injuries when my bench got up to 250 and my deadlift got up to 380. For a year and a half now I have been going light weight, high reps and... eating my feelings.
I am trying to be careful with diet and not re-injure myself with lifting, but it's not working. I have to avoid hurting my back again or I'll end up in some dire straits when I get older.
Yes, I used bad form. My body is apparently not proportioned well for lifting. I am double-jointed and it affects my posture. I didn't know this when I started.
>>28658691
You should chew more meat, faggot.
>>28658762
Because it's not your board, you autistic manchild.
>>28658718
I actually went from 265 to 188 lbs, but I suffer from fairly bad depression and anxiety and I yo-yo'd back up to 240, down to 190 again, back up to 230, and am now 215.
>>28658734
see
>>28658778
>>28658750
>>28658761
I lose a bunch of weight and my body looks the same
Aint no thing OP, you can still look better than you are now by running or playing a sport for fun and cleaning up your diet.
>>28658715
Because he has HEIGHT FRAME and most importantly FACE
>>28658815
do you lift? or at least muscle exercises?
>>28658837
yes
then my shoulders and arms end up looking good like OP but I still have the wacky lovehandles
>>28658772
>>28658778
>>28658786
>>28658798
You're the type of person that meets a fit guy and all you talk about is how you used to go to the gym.
>>28658778
Seems like you've spent more time thinking up excuses than actually lifting.
>>28658798
>anxiety
>depression
Is it hard being an edgey college student and not growing up?
>>28658786
fuck off back to /fit/
why are you here?
>>28658691
OP here, I used to look like this.
I can no longer lift like I did when I had this body... my back is in bad shape and my shoulders are not doing great either.
>>28658858
I don't want excuses, I want to lift like I used to. I can't do a single deadlift without my back crying out in pain. I'm stuck doing light weight until I can figure out how to work with my injuries and it's not bringing me any success.
>>28658855
abdominal exercises? core exercises? what do you do?
You're not doing enough exercise, it doesn't look like you do a lot of cardio. Lifting will build muscles but don't count on losing weight from it.
I lifted for years and years and the progress was really slow because I wasn't working out enough even though I'd work out nearly all day, and I wasn't doing enough variations like cardio.
>>28658691
It's obviously your diet.
>>28658892
maybe go for stretching? flexibility exercises trains your muscles. and you can get them to become stronger
>>28658892
Every think of going to a doctor genius?
>>28658892
Ever think of going to a doctor if you're in pain from lifting genius?
>>28658892
ayy m8 have you sought chiropractic or physical therapist help yet?
>>28658914
it's my back injury, mostly. I can't bench press, overhead perss, deadlift, OR squat like I used to. I used to do 20 reps on squats with 175 lbs, but now my back hurts just getting out of bed.
lifting fucked my back even though i studied and did everything I learned about for form.
I'm not saying my diet is perfect. I eat like a depressed kid. lots of protein but too many carbs.
but it's my fuckin' back, dude.
>>28658936
>>28658963
>>28658968
I did go to a doctor.
he said "stop doing the thing that hurt you and do something else."
Chiropractors are frauds.
>>28658691
you'd look fine if you stopped shoveling fucking simple sugars down your fat fucking gullet you stupid shit, never mind the lifting lol retard
>>28658762
not everyone who is /fit/ is a normie, anon
I'm /fit/ and a normie, but not everyone is.
>>28658996
>Chiropractors are frauds.
Dude if you really wanna lift at the very least give it a try. That and usually GP advice is shit. Go to a legit physical therapist
>lift right and eat wll for 4 months straight
>get decent progress
>break down and stop for 1-2 months
>start up again with little lost gains
>still look fairly good
>still have bad depression
>still reclosed
>still no friends at uni
>still social anxiety
at least I look ok, hehah right guys?
>>28659016
I eat very little refined sugar. For me, it's the bread.
that doesn't matter though. I lost strength and mass because of a back injury.
I am in control of my diet. I am not in control of my spine damage.
>>28659027
I DID go to a chiropractor... before the injury. It was... such a fucking fraud.
maybe physical therapy. maybe you're right. how the fuck will I afford it?
>>28659100
>how the fuck will I afford it?
suck my dick for money....but seriously I hope you do find a way to afford it so you can be on your way m8. Cheers and all the best
>>28659036
your own body is your best friend you double nigger.
>>28658731
160 at 6' is bretty good, at least by American standards.
>>28658731
You do not have the same body. I weigh 215 at 5 foot 11. I weight 50 lbs more than you.
>>28659183
160 at 6' is pretty skelly brah
>op comes to r9k to whine
>gets completely shut down
I laughed
>>28658691
you jerk off with your right arm.
it's pretty noticeable.
>>28660280
I prefer abuse to neglect.
I would rather read your comment than no comment.
I am fed.
>>28660421
you're a fucking retard. I'm flexing the right one to show my sad, fat arm that I wish was muscular. of course it looks stronger.
>>28660452
How about you, stop eating like a pig, get enough protein and lift

I'm more impressed by your taste in guitars OP. That's a nice 25 fret lefty you've got there. I'm a little stoned right now so I don't recall the model but you must love you some high notes.
Keep on rocking and you'll eventually make it dude.
>>28658691
Squat more, pull up more, eat less shitty food. Your diet from your pic is terrible.
>>28660604
it's not a lefty, it's a mirror shot, but god eye nonetheless. Here's a close-up just for you.
I did the paint job myself. The original guitar was solid gloss black.
>>28660621
>didn't read thread
YAWN. why even post?
>>28658731
eat well, run regularly, it's all about repetition man
>>28660637
Shoulda guessed the mirror shot :(
You record anything you play? If it's good enough you don't even need to be a lift bro, you can just seduce women with your fingers.
>>28660694
I have trouble recording. I own a Line6 UX2 with Pod Farm, but the records always come through muddy and I was too dissappointed/out of money to try to figure out a solution.
any tips?
>>28658691
There is literally no way you've been lifting for years.
Maybe you had periods of half assing a half assed routine every couple of months for a few years, but I know for a fact you've not been consistently lifting for years looking like that.
You have achieved less than nothing, and that's not possible even with a bad routine and diet if you're consistent.
>>28660452
>dat assmad tho
I laughed again
>lifting
>plumping yourself up like a prize steer to satisfy your narcissism
>not learning a martial art
>not learning how to shoot
>>28660722
Zero. I don't actually play, but I'm very familiar with guitars through exposure.
My only real tips would be get direct line recorder or something, or get better wires. But I don't know if that's even real advice.
>>28660637
OP if you're into playing you're guitar you must have a certain level of dedication already. Maybe lifting isn't for you.
All you need in life is something that tells people you can dedicate yourself to things you enjoy and they'll respect you. It can be exercise or a hobby like an instrument.
I tried for years to play the guitar and I was total fucking shit at it because I never practiced, just like you never lift properly or follow your diet.
Man thank god you made this thread, I thought I was the only one.
>>28660786
It's not.
I'll just do my research elsewhere. I absolutely need to be able to record.
>>28660779
I took 2 years of kenpo, is that good enough for you?
>>28660733
I think you completely underestimate diet, he does seem to have a bit of muscle but it's all covered in fat and after his noob gains he probs lost most of it due to his lack luster diet.
>>28660804
this isn't bad advice, but what I truly want is to be fit. I really truly want to be lower bodyfat and higher muscle and strength, but I simply can't lift heavy anymore because of my back injury and it's driving me insane. no amount of anything else matches what lifting does for the physique. Lifting uber alles.
>>28660823
Even with a shit diet he'd look better after years of training.
I see no gains at all. If you told me this guy had never lifted before in his life I'd believe you.
>>28658778
>I lifted 3-4x per week for years.
Doesn't mean shit if you're not lifting right.
>I got back and shoulder injuries when my bench got up to 250 and my deadlift got up to 380.
That sucks, I can relate.
>eating my feelings.
Gee, I think I found the problem.
>>28660779
>I shoot therefore I'm manly
Redneck detected. /out/ keks at you.
>>28658763
YO
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
THIS IS AMAZING
I'm so sorry though, this is the absolute fucking worst...meanwhile others are soaring past goalpoints no matter what I do. I eat enough, I sleep, I do my sets to the point where I cannot do another rep and still willpower through it
BUT I'M NOT MAKING ANY FUCKING GAINS
It's like I need steroids just to be AVERAGE..
>>28660654
>didn't read thread
No I didn't. It's obvious as fuck he has a shitty diet. He may claim what eats right but his results show otherwise.
>>28660823
I do still have a lot of muscle under there, it's just not as strong as it used to be and is now covered in fat from depression/decreased intensity.
I'm still fighting, but the fight is... different when you can't lift heavy. Harder.
>>28660846
If you care so much then why aren't you fit? Not gonna lie it doesn't look like you were ever strong, so the injured back excuse means nothing.
I told myself for all those years that I really wanted to be in a band and play music, but I just didn't care enough to go through all the monotonous shit. You have to care about something enough to do the boring stuff in between, like learning scales or eating rice and chicken every day before you can say it's really important to you imo.
>>28660917
read the thread, retard. I posted a shot of when I was fit. It has a greenish background and I'm on stilts. I was a beast.
>>28658731
How the fuck? U have the same dimensions as me but you look poke THAT? man all I've got is a bit of fat breasts.

wew lad. Thought I was being fairly polite and you flip your shit.

I have a feeling your diet sucks dick and that's why you're not seeing any progress
>>28658691
DO FUCKING CARDIO YOU LAZY FUCKER
>>28659083
you are so fucking full of shit guy, get bent
Mark? Wow never knew you were a robot too.
>>28661009
I ride my bike 12 miles like 3 times a week.
I'm having issues bro, I yo-yo. I lose and gain, lose and gain.
The thread is about how disappointed I am that I tried hard and couldn't make it and you all are like "just make it instead. instead of not making it, just make it."
How did you start? Were you overweight before you started lifting, or were you skinny and put on a load of fat while lifting? Your goal right now should be to start cutting. You're going to lose muscle, but at least you won't be skinnyfat anymore (the worst possible outcome for any male).
>>28660862
>redneck
>bad thing
Coasties get out.
>>28661116
not mark, but I'm glad that no one can tell who I am. only people who've been in my apartment will know me and tehy don't come here I fucking HOPE
>>28658691
Kekek maybe eat less or do some cardio you fat fuck
>>28661116
Yeah dude! It's mark! How'd you know? Who are you? Haha
>>28661142
You never gave us any context in the OP you utter fucking buffoon. All you told us was that you'd been lifting for years and this was your progress. You said jack shit about losing gains and injuries.
Actual fucking autism on display once again from OP
>>28658691
This makes me feel way better about my progress thanks op
>>28661142
I'm surprised you give any of these people the time of day. Other lifters are the worst. I just set goals and never talk to anyone.
>>28661306
i'm just trolling, dude. I just want attention, I don't care if it's negative.
if no one replies, I feel sad an alone. if someone replies with abuse, I at least feel a little fight in me.
just trying anything I can to make it through another day.
