>realizing you'll forever be chasing your pump

>>34971603
You'll never be as big as your pump

But as long as you make your body look like your current pump someday, that's good right

>>34971603
pump is basically what you will look like in the future if you keep lifting

ergo, keep lifting

>>34971619
pump is your friend

pump makes you happy if only for a short while, don't forget to enjoy it every time

>>34971663
so if my traps and shoulders look awesome with a pump, i'll look like that eventually?

my traps could be gigantic, no joke

>>34971715
pretty sure it depends on how advanced you are, how long you've been lifting right with good nutrition

>>34971753
not advanced at all, lost a ton of weight but just now starting to lift, and my nutrition is above average I'd say

I just want to feel good again in clothes bros, the pump is the only time I feel confident

>>34971776

I know this feel senpai. Without a pump I barely look like I lift unless I'm flexing, or if a normie is looking at my back or legs... (normies only look at your arms I think)

But with a pump there is veins all over the place and shit and it's clear I lift shit nigga... baka

>>34971776
I know that feel, bro. been a fatty myself, lost a ton of weight, then injured my shoulder (took me months to recover), and now been lifting again since summer.

my game plan in the following: I'm on a modest cut right now, but after a few more months of lifting I plan on trying creatine in the spring. I've never tried it, so I'm not sure how well it'll work. but hopefully this will take me into that comfort zone permanently.

>>34971883
It works well from what I've heard. I can't decide between continuing my eternal cut until my love handles are gone or if I should just say fuck it and start lifting/bulking. I can't seem to get an answer from anyone about if the love handles melt off anyway during lifts

Wish I had restraint as a teen to not eat everything in sight

>>34971822
The other day I got my first huge arm vein after lifting, I almost crapped my pants I was so excited. Then it faded and now it's like coming down from a really good high. A.k.a depressing

> It works well from what I've heard.

yeah, but apparently it varies. for some people it works very well, for others does nothing. I'll find out which one I am.

There is no concrete answer, some people can drop a bunch of waist weight while purely lifting while for others the problem gets far worse on a bulk. I started skinnyfat and am on the tail-end of a cut, it seems like it takes fucking ages sometimes and the lack of substantial muscle growth can be disheartening but it's the most fail-safe option in my opinion - certainly beats bitch tits and handles hiding your gains.
