Well it's been a long journey from my depression and I believe people usually are very different,
so I'm not gonna advise anyone to do the same as me, but take from it what you want or think could work for you.
Actually, my main piece of advice is what led me to lifting; if you're not happy with the current conditions, do something differently.
Just keep trying different things till you find what works for you. Anyways, this is what I did:

> depression started 5 years ago partly due to cheating oneitis gf
> the first three years I just moped around, vidya and weed
> I stopped doing things I didn't want to do, family events etc., kinda like coccoon mode
> life was pleasant but I was still depressed
> figured I had to try something different, that led me to this board
> after reading here for some weeks I started hitting the gym, trying to escape Auschwitz mode
> lifting became a pillar in my life, something to always be working on, researching etc.
> it has become my meditation, I clear my head and relax.
> I know the weights are always there waiting no matter how other things go
> one key aspect I've realized is that I don't really matter
> it doesn't really matter what I do or how it goes in the long run
> get motivated by this, realizing that the only things that matter to me are what I decide matter
> now I only do what I believe is the right thing for me, and often I want to have fun
> this allows me to decide what I think could be fun for me, and if it's not there is no pressure to keep doing it

I've also put aside morals and ethics and embraced "the real world", not the world everyone wishes they lived in, but the cold harsh one we actually have.

Was that understandable at all?

>>41286518
nice

>>41279261
Why don't you start?
I signed up a month ago and been only to the gym 4 times. Could use some motivation myself.

>>41279286

Sure, friend.

>was always the skinny kid in high school
>used to get picked on, especially by my older brother
>he takes me to the gym a few times, but I never really stay with it
>first year of university now
>see a lot of jacked guys and finally decide to put my bitching aside and go to the gym
>lifting for 4 years now
>my brother complimented me on my physique a week ago for the first time

I started off lifting to not be skinny and to win the respect of my brother, but I'm going to continue lifting to grow stronger and perhaps one day help that skinny kid who timidly walks into the gym for the first time.

>>41279261
My first child came last week, so now I have the motivation to become the strongest dad at his school.

And make the other dads feel insecure about themselves because their wife's want me instead.

>rowing
>low impact
>enjoyable

Ahahahahaa

>>41303235
>low impact
Yes
>enjoyable
Maybe the first couple times, but then it's the same as any other cardio

>>41303235
how is it not low impact? Also, yeah doing HIIT on one will smoke you, but rowing 8000 meters at a relaxed pace is enjoyable.

This. Do it OP

Go into the wild and follow the deer

>see noob grill squatting back to rack
>try to offer advice and show her proper way
>accidentally slam bar into rack then into head while demonstrating that back to rack is bad
>head splits
>blood everywhere
>she literally leaves the gym and goes home

>>41302609
tbf if it sounded like you were joking and passed it off as such it really wouldn't be cringe. But the fact that that was your serious answer is pretty... well I really don't know what to say to that

>Ask new PT for spot on seated OHP
>Comes infront of me (?)
>Tells me I should rack the weight from behind my head and move it to the front to OHP (?)
>Tell him I want to do a front press and not behind the neck and I lack the shoulder mobility at that weight anyway
>Spots me
>Talks to me for about roughly 15min
>His tips consist of me doing the OHP in the smith machine to go all out
>tell him but that lacks the stabilizing muscles
>Tells me to do it anyway, tells me to do incline,flat and decline bench as well at the same day
>Tell him I have a shoulder impingement and that I'd rather do weighted dips
>Mocks me for doing dips in a weird way and insists that I bench

Seriously I don't know what the fuck he was on about. Granted he's double the size of me but his tips and behavior were just trash.

Enjoy doing it, starting is the hardest part tho

people who don't strive to be the best versions of themselves are effectively walking sacks of shit

thus, obviously you should work out (and make sure you do it in close-to an optimal way, for your goals)

what your "muh feels" about going to the gym are or aren't, never even enter into the picture

even if you are a hardcore academic, you HAVE to work out for optimal brain performance (and then you might as well make it count and get a ripped to shreds physique, since the time commitment is the same, compared to working out in the typically idiotic way most people do)

because i'm not a weak minded faggot.

Also because i have nothing to do in the day other than school work and lifting offers a nice break. There's also no better feeling than seeing progress in your body and lifts which is cool.

i agree. a full rack, 600lb bb set, bench and 150lb im dbs is $2,000

will outlast your lifting career. why pay for gym?

Post body

>>41302409
I already posted in my post (pic related).

Stop eating more than your burning, holy shit is it really this hard for people?

>>41302022
Think I'm a fucking retard? Did you see me asking about the first law of thermodynamics?
I am looking for an easy way to lose excess fat and I don't give a fuck about my health.

>>41302040
Then take DNP. You might die from fucking it up, but you're guaranteed to lose fat.

Do a six day split. Keep active on your rest day, I rock climb.

>>41302075
So 6 days strength, one day light?

Either do a split or have some kind of activity you do in the off days like swimming or martial arts

>Sqauting in a diaper
>Wallowing in your own shit while doing sets

Just squat nude over a stool-collection bucket like a real man

>>41301690
My gym doesn't have those

>>41301694
Then find a better gym

I'll start - SS and GOMAD for a month. Move onto more complex foods and continue to increase calorie intake.

He doesn't need a personal trainer.

He needs a personal chef.

rubber doesn't weight the same as steel

>>41301513
rubber is lighter than steel, dont listen to what any idiot tells u about 'oh 45lbs is 45lbs' because te fact is that STEEL is HEAVIER than RUBBER. so that means its harder to lift, i dont know by how much but probably like 3-5lbs or so.

>>41301523
Then why are they both marked as "45 lbs?"

If the rubber one actually weighs less than that, shouldn't it be marked as such?

cigarettes work wonders senpai

>>41301451
I never understood this, smoking, vaping, even drinking coffee makes my appetite skyrocket.

Drinking.
