What motivates you to go and lift when your feeling down /fit/ ?
im not motivated to lift anymore
i just feel worse not doing it
>>40766626
This to be honest with you, member of my family.
Mainly self-hatred and rage.
Also a slight urge to not be a troglodyte for the rest of my life
>have to get surgery on my knee
>no squatting or deadlifts for at least 2 months
Depression thread.
Become curlbro and finally get some girls
>>40766614
this
>>40766614
I don't want gains goblins. I just want to squat and deadlift.
How can I get this kind of body?
roids
>>40766378
girls, girls girls :P
Bench, curl and cut a lot.
What is lifting post 30 like for brahs who have lifted for a while?
I'm starting to get tight elbows and shoulders. Thinking of eliminating heavy benching entirely from my routines.
Whats recovery time like? Notice any changes?

>What is lifting post 30 like for brahs who have lifted for a while?
I'm 31, been lifting since I was 14 or so in High School. Generally, its the same as when I was younger but instead of going to the gym after school, I go after work.
>Whats recovery time like? Notice any changes?
Stretch more often, take days off if you strain yourself. Recovery is usually the same as before except you won't be 100% after a minor sprain in a day; usually takes 1-2 days.
tl;dr - stretch; you're not young anymore so you can't just hit the weights without stretching; I suggests 10-15 mins.
No routine
Heavy lifting is a chore
Lots of mobility and cardio
31, been lifting since 19.
I just workout whatever I'm feeling that day desu.
>>40766377
Warming up and stretching is mandatory.
Recovery goes into the toilet.
Being fat tanks your energy, but being cut to ribbons just kills your manhood.
Takes a long fucking time to unload now
How am I doing /fit/ ?
>>40766346
bad. just give up now and go to /pol/ and complain about your women getting blacked.
You are looking pretty good. Keep up the hard work
>>40766597
This is one of those "mother dies in sleep" pics isn't it.
It's otter mode achievable with my body type? 6'0 170 lbs
Bullying welcome aswell
If you cut 20 lbs then yeah. What are your lifts?
Yes you should start lifting
>muh bodytype
you're just fat nigger
>start trying to get /fit/
>realize I have a chest gap
Should I even keep trying bros?
Rise and shine or kys
>>40766142
That is fucking weird dawg. Just bulk up and deal with not having a six pack. Be thicc.
lol that is nothing you should see mine
squat PRs edition
I approve of this edition
>>40765137
because he alraedy does...
This probably isn't very /plg/ related... but do I need to be super obsessive with calorie counting? I'm on a cut right now and I just eat two clean meals per day with high energy, but when I bulk I can usually have a good gut feeling with how much I'm having per meal. Is this a shitty way of dieting or will I be alright?
What's this called?
rape
Air sex
Meme thrust
Working out makes me tired and sleepy for the rest of the day.
It's interfering with my trying to be productive.
What can you do?
>>40766056
work out right before going to bed
>>40766056
I also have this problem
>>40767598
Not OP but I work out every night before bed and I struggle to keep awake in the office in the morning and pretty much the rest of the day.
Do you like skinny girls?
>>40766055
i dont get any girls
>>40766055
>>40766055
It goes like this:
God-Tier: Average (Girls who have some meat on them but with a flat tummy still. Muscle and fat preferably in the ass, thigh and tit area)
Okay Tier: Skinny girls (Girls with no curves. No muscle tone. Just...petite)
Meh Tier: Chubby girls and overly muscular girls (Girls who have more than a "little" tummy, or girls who are basically men with vaginas)
Shit Tier: Fat
>>40766055
i like men
i really wanna go travel abroad and fuck prostitutes.
does anyone know what the mental health/fitness implications are of "paying for sex"? is it true that I will never be able to recover my self-esteem and/or feelings of self worth if i resort to paying for sex in order to lose my virginity?
Save your money
>>40766013

>>40766004
I did it at 17, no regrets. It didn't instantly change my life, but it wasn't soon after that I was having sex regularly.

Fucking shit everything feel's so good /fit/. Glad I took your advice but sloots loving the glutes.
Good feel's and mire's thread. We're all gonna make it bro's.
>>40766357
How do you workout every day? I'm always too DOMSed.
>>40766396
When your time is free 24/7 it's pretty damn easy.
Plus DOMS tends to go away once you've been working out long enough. Usually the biggest problem is that my lifts go down as the week goes on because I'm not giving my body enough rest.
However, not working out for two days tends to reset that problem plus I usually try to target different body parts on different days when possible.
