last october someone posted a "your roll is your pushups" thread and I figured why not I'll just do the last digit instead of the two. I couldn't do it. after not having any physical excercise for nearly 3 years I couldn't do more than 4 push ups.
I felt terrible so I decided to start doing the simplest stuff at home, pushups, curls, squats etc. whatever possible with near to no resources. it felt good so I stuck with it. some time in january I felt like my progress was coming to a halt so I got a real gym card.
today for the first time I succesfully to bench pressed 5x5x100kg (220lbs).
the reason I'm posting this story is to thank whoever shitposter started that thread for the wake up call and to say you too can do it.
it feels real good to set goals and reach them, even if they are completely arbitrary like the amount of metal you can lift up and down. you too can start TODAY (or tomorrow..). there's no such thing as "too far gone".

That far in less than a year?
\//\ baybe god bless sick dubs.
You rolled a 99. Better get on them push-ups.
>benches 2 plates for reps in a year
>you've been lifting for well over 3 and can only use the 90lb dumbbells
there was an attempt

I have regrets

Congrats my man I'm glad your feeling good about something you're achieving
It's nice to think that something positive can come out of this shithole

>>28804446

>>28805437
it's not bad
I just tried and I could only do six before I had to stop. I did four more after a few seconds of rest. I am now out of breath and my wrists hurt. Also there were several loud pops during the push-ups.
Fucking hell...

yeah the wrist pain is a bitch. it was one of the main reasons I switched to a real gym. I never do push ups anymore because they strain my wrists more than they do muscles.

It didn't hurt as much when I weighed less than 200 lbs.
Probably with the gym is as a NEET I have no money for membership.
>>28807530
yeah though I weight a lot more than that
I was able to find a pretty nice deal 20e a month. even a neet can find 20e a month for anything. the increase in food intake and the kind of food that you want to eat while training is more expensive than the actual gym tbqh.

>make no progress in three years
>realize I've been eating 40-50g of protein a day on my 64kg body weight
>up it to at least 80 per day but usually over 100
>already doing more reps
We're all gonna make it brahs
