I run a 5k yesterday. I broke the 29 minute barrier for the first time in my life and run it in 28 minutes 48 seconds. It's been a long road since July, when my first attempt was 44 minutes. Realizing how bad I was back then, made me start running and lifting (which I have been doing ever since).
While running yesterday, during the last 200 meters I accelerated to around 15 km / h. During those last 30 seconds, I felt more alive than ever in my life. I was running without feeling my legs, I felt like flying. When I stopped, I measured my heart beat, it was exactly 175 bpm.
I went home to sleep, woke up feeling like I was born again.
I know this is like a blog post or something, so please subscribe etc, I just felt like sharing these feels of mine with my bros.

How do you deal with strength loss on a cut?
>>41953079
By accepting that it is in inevitable and just a short-term sacrifice one has to make in pursuit of looking good.
Theres nothing you can do to stop from losing some strength on a cut.
By looking in the mirror and seeing aesthetic gains instead of strength
>>41953079
By watching yourself get leaner

Women that hit on me / compliment me:
>Older women (think cougar)
>Fat women
>Ugly women
Women that do not hit on me / compliment me:
>Attractive women
Where did I go wrong?
Attractive women are being offered a smorgasbord of dick every single day. They don't need to go looking for it.
Only if you are extremely attractive will they make the first move

I want to lose fat and started eating at a low deficit. Just started lifting and was able to lift 1pl8 the other day but today I could barely do a set. I'm eating 1200 cal being a 5'11'' 162 lb 21 year old girl. do I need to eat at maintenance to get stronger? The workout was also pretty late today and I was already rather tired going in, could that be it too? I just want to get strong but I feel like such a fail already
[Shameless self bump]
Fuck you. Eat big to get big bitch
>>41968585
youre 5'11, 1200cals is too low for you even at a cutting rate. try 1500cals as a guideline, i'm 5'7" and i lost 22lbs on 1500 per day. 1200 cals is for girls below 5'3 or something, def not recommended for someone who's lifting
Ok it's kind of embarassing but I seriously need some help.
>20y/o female, been lifting for about 6 months
>switch to a new 6 day split about 1 month ago, more intense
>been feeling fatigued and irritable for about a week now
>been having slight vaginal bleeding for almost a week and I'm not on my period
>getting hormonal acne which is really rare for me
Can anyone tell me wtf is going on? I feel like this stuff is related to my exercise but I really have no clue pls help
>>41968130
overtraining messing with your hormones darlin
>>41968137
Fuck what should I do? Work out less or less intensity?
>>41968130
Also forgot to add I can't get to sleep no matter how exhausted I am
OUTTA NOWHERE I GOT A STRETCH MARK ON MY STOMACH AND MY STOMACH HAS BEEN GETTING SMALLER NOT BIGGER WTF AND THIS IS AFTER A NASTY STRETCH MARK ON MY BICEP. WTF IS WRONG WITH MY SKIN.
>>41967717
shit happens
I've got 4 noticeable stretch marks just on my left armpit
my gf said there's cream you can use on that shit though
>>41967717
Rub coconut oil on your skin when you get out of the shower, just use the cheap stuff. Take 2g or more of vitamin C everyday. It works.
>>41967748
I'm trying coconut oil, that's what I hear pregnant women use and my mark is in that spot. If all else fails I'll just tattoo over it

I don't find him attractive.
>>41967215
Surely you cannot be serious? Post a pic of a guy you think is attractive then

How to get I get stronger forearms? Keep deadlifting with overhand? Or do I need to do 3x12 shrugs or something
farmer walks every session. go as long and as heavy as you can til your forearms feel dead and you are unable to use your fingers
>>41966723
Dead hangs, farmers walks.
In my experience, farmers walk helps overall grip strength.
Shrugs are nice, but farmers walk bounces the weight around in your grip a little more, which seems to 'test' its weak spots in the grip and makes it overall stronger. This is all just bro science of course, but it makes sense to me.
g-guys... what if the dick doesn't hang lower than the balls?
>>41966507
Use steroids to make your balls smaller.
