>Have been going on /fit/ for 5 years >Started off fatass

I can't stand the thought of how much time and """effort""" I have wasted in the gym. I have literally made zero progress since I started. Just thinking about it makes me want to fucking kill myself.

>have one life
>completely bottle it and become a pathetic loser

>theres are the people shitting up the CBT and hating on anyone who have made gains past 6 months

>>38633445
Nah I haven't hated on anyone ever in my time

Only given advice ive read from others that made a lot of sense to me. Also a lot of motivational shit

>still look like shit because my pecs don't come together at the bottom

well i'll just go fuck myself

>>38633445
>trying to this hard
I hate myself, not others. The only use I have for CBT is fostering an even bigger dissatisfaction with what little progress I've made.

How old are you

>fishing this hard
I thought that was something women did.

Run 20 Rep squat programme, eat, profit

I was 17 when I started lifted and discovered /fit/. I'm 22 now.

I gave up on being big and juicy and cut and "aesthetic" about 2 years into lifting. I lift now to stay active to be fit, stronk, athletic and healthy.

Really progress is not a competition when you have nobody you're competing with. Lifting and fitness are personal and individual endeavors. In my opinion getting old is an inevitability, so try just aiming for general fitness and healthiness, slow and steady progress and overall improvement, and not just whether or not you've slapped on 50 pounds to your deadlift in a few months.

Pic related, scoobs pretty much embodies this kind of approach to fitness.

so start today

stop feeling sorry for yourself, the time you spent was not wasted even if you think you made zero progress you probably learned a lot. you just gotta find some approach that works for you. keep looking, change things around once you find an approach taht works for you you can look good in a short amount of time.

only thing lacking is your chest dont be such a drama queen about it. also that angle exaggerates the fact taht they dont come together at the bottom. everyone has an angle that makes them look bad.

Hating yourself and feeling sorry for yourself is not the same.

This board makes you feel like you gotta get hueg but the truth is that if you are staying healthy and active and doin things you enjoy to stay that way you are already winning at life

change up your routines, brahs. the reason there isnt one, single definitive routine for building muscle is that your body will adapt to the specific stress of a specific routine and wont see any need to add muscle to itself. and some people may or may not respond better to different routines, Im not sure. i did 5x5 for a while, eventually plateaud. switched to 4x8 and saw some gains and plateaud. did a combination of the two, gained,. plateaud. tried 10x10 for a month or so and have gained well, but its designed as a temporary routine, so Im switching back to a lower rep scheme next week. try it out, diversity is your friend. and when you see gains again after so long without, it really rekindles your love for lifting

>>38633664
those are identical

>>38633303
Well, your first problem is shit talking yourself.

>>38633559
You'd better be doing some cardio too, because lifting itself won't make you healthy at all.

>>38634676
I do cardio 5 days a week and lift 3 days a week.
I also do lots of post-workout static stretches and some yoga poses before bed. Overall my fitness, health, mobility, etc are much better off with this mentality than before
