When will you consider yourself to have made it?

>>38207504
When I'm happy.

when I like my body.

Maybe November

as soon as i can wear tshirts outside without feeling ashamed and disguasting as a human beign

when I stop browsing /fit/

>>38207506

This.

When I look forward to getting up in the morning

When I have a sixpack desu. Small otter will do. I've been in the game on and off for over 7 years, I'm starting to actually get old and I never saw the lean version of myself. I'm already kicking myself for having wasted my prime in bulkfat mode. If I starve myself consistently now I might just make it in time.

>>38207695

1 gf
2 plate press
3 plate bench
4 plate squat
5 plate deadlift

>>38207504
I feel like when I got a non-skinny man 6-pack.

I've been working hard for 4 months now and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I think if I can keep with it a few more months

plus my gym/bike time is probably the happiest part of my day because I'm always seeing results. I started biking to enjoy cardio in this new country I moved to almost a year ago, now I got my first race coming up.

also, I'm an amerifag so I'm used to measuring in lbs, but I started training in kg. I was feeling so sad about how slow my progress seemed, but then when I changed my lifting numbers to lbs out of curiosity, I felt so proud of myself.
went from benching 10kg to benching 45kg :)

When I got the body I want, I'm gonna keep going and never stop. I'm finally doing things I love. We can all make it! Every day is a step in the right direction! I'm here; cheering for us.

When I have a steady six figure job and a wife I can treat.

Maintaining 1/2/3/4 or better while running a 40 minute 10k

>>38207504
'Making it' is the end, and I don't want this ride to end, so in a sense, I never want to make it, I just want to keep lifting. Plus, I'm already happy, so maybe I did make it

Lifting won't cure unhapiness. If you're unhappy with your life, look for the roots of your problems and fix it.

I was happy before I got into lifting

>>38208410

The thing about making it is that it's unknowable. It's impossible, but it's also right in front of us all the time.

>>38207504
As of now, once I've hit 1/2/3/4 and lost muh vcard. In reality probably never and I'm not unhappy about that, I hate the idea of reaching a point where I'm "content" and don't have a goal in mind.

>>38207504
When I'm walking down the stadium at the 2020 olympics.

So never..

>>38208246

Never mind the squat. A 2pl8 press is virtually impossible if you're natty.

>>38207857
that's what said too. then i got abs and nobody gave a shit but me. don't put all your eggs in a basket or whatever.

>>38208587
definitely not. I'm in the mid 80s and there's no way I'm not going to add 15 more kg in the next few years. I'm also pretty sure I could eat my way there in a relatively short period of time if I was fine with getting fat.

>>38208356
I don't know, I think a lot of things have just fallen into place in my life. I mean, it's not perfect, but having this kind of blissful ignorance is why I'm happy.

I kind of just ignore the shit things in life and focus on what makes me happy. Instead of laying in bed at night pondering the futility of life and how I'm surrounded by failure, I think about my next gym session, how great my friends are, how good of a show Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is, or how failure is relative, and the things around me are actually pretty damn successful.

My personal advice would just be drop any pessimism or nihilism you may have, set some goals for yourself and work to achieve them.

Just live life happy my man.

When I can fit in a skirt and have a nice ass/legs.

"making it" is a meme. If you enjoy the process of human development and improvement you realize the journey does't end until you die.

But some of the former goals I already reached

>8% BF
and perhaps even lower now
>clean diet
no more soda's, no more alcohol, zero drugs,
>no deficiencies
so paleoish diet (though not the typical one, but my own modified one with plenty of carbs)

I just want to be 100% as pic related. To be at my full potential and then to keep being that for the rest of my life.

If I ever reach it, I will just keep at it, do maintenance and get a different hobby or something like that.
