life is good just focus on money and aesthetics

Your right. That's why I'm just here for the fit memes anymore. Very rarely do I see advice that is not bro science or just complete bull shit flaming.
The QTDDTOT threads are probably the only place to get a serious reply and even those are few and far between

>routine established

I dunno it keeps me motivated. Like minded people that have a laugh take the piss but at the same time help each other out.

Sure they may call you a faggot but there's good advice and keks to be had.

If you don't like it and take everything to heart precious just fuck off, how's that you weak cunt.

I love it here.

Good job buddy. See pic related it's OP.

>>39073293
I don't wonder why my life is shit, I wonder why I keep reverting to my habits. This self destructive behavior of doing nothing is so ingrained in me that I'm having a really hard time getting the things I need to do done. I blame both myself and my upbringing, hopefully I eventually find the willpower to escape from this spiral. I feel like this lifestyle is like an addiction; it is so easy to go back to and so easy to maintain. It's always two steps away when I get home. I feel like one of those food addicts with the internet; I can't go through my life without using it, and I can't go a day without seeing it, so it takes a lot to get away from it. I still have hope though, I get a little bit better with it every day. Hopefully one day I won't even own a computer.

/fit/ actually helped me a lot. I dropped out of college due to problems, developed avoidant personality disorder, and was 255lbs. I also herniated a disc in my back. I lost all my friends, and did nothing but drink beer and play video games for half a year. I would play dota 2 8 hours a day, and watch streams during downtime. Watched anime too. I couldn't even go out in public, or talk to people.

During that time I was all alone basicially. I started lifting, started running, and got back into shape after two years of getting heavy therapy. I did starting strength, then just did my own shit for a long time.

I went on my first date ever when I was 22 with a german girl I met on tinder, and I shook the whole time because I was so nervous and she laughed in my face. I went on more dates, and got over my fear with women. I got my first legit job working with mexicans and they laughed about how awkward I was, but whatever. they ended up liking me because I was a hard worker.

This summer I got my first girlfriend ever at the pathetic age of 23, lost my virginity, joined a rugby team, started learning guitar, and in june I'll be done with my associates degree in engineering and will transfer to become a chemical engineer.

If I didn't have /fit/, I would have had nobody to talk to. I probably would have just killed mytself.

Heres my physique from a month or two ago, ill look for before pics.

Mentally that is me, but people say I'm in shape

>>39073293
I definitely don't wonder why my life is shit

and I enjoy talking in a free space where I am not judged by society

Hell I can impress some retard for a little bit with repeating digits, this place is great man.

i've actually made some cool friends from here, which is weird to say all things considered

>>39073461
How do you become friends with anon?

>>39073449
Date timestamp or you're full of shit bruh. I sense fat fuck in you.

i'm enjoying the board. really doesn't seem all that bad.

>>39073446
Good job my man but ffs buy some underpants.

>>39073551
This, I used to think that they were too overpriced and uncomfortable, but it turns out most people wear underwear, and they aren't as uncomfortable as you would think.

Even OP can't bring the mood down.

>>39073293
This Nicaraguan pumpkin carving forum actually helped me lose almost 100 pounds in 9 months.
It also made realize I'm gay and became trap.

>>39073648

what kinda exercises are you doing?

>>39073490
super weird, but I found out a person played and went on here when I saw him shitposting in a chatroom that had names he said he went to my school, so we met up and found we got along well

>go on /fa/
>after few months know all effay memes and designers
>pity people in fast fashion and mall clothes
>Rick Owens meme clothing usually what I'm dressed in
>go to /fit/
>squats and oats
>less than 4 plates for anything is pathetic
>hypertrophy is the only goal in life
>women only care about x


Then I left chan for some time and did it change my perspective. Thanks to /fa/ knowledge, and some real world experience I managed to find my own style while looking >aesthetic, and my friends ask me for advice on buying clothes. Thanks to /fit/ I can teach my friends about lifting and my knowledge on human biomechanics, anatomy and dieting grew over typical Joe's understanding.

Now when I come back I like to see how people get mad over shit like manlet threads, being alpha or self proclaimed specialists telling you what numbers on your lifts make you a man. It's like going back to school and seeing kids making trivial things look dead serious, not yet aware of world around them.

This forum isnt toxic. It taught me how to lift. It got me using barbells. It showed me Rippetoe, Mehdi. It introduced me to olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman competitions. It made me realize my workouts were crap, and I was really trying hard.

Stop looking for excuses for being a failure anon. If you arent lifting 1/2/3/4 is because you are a pussy.

>>39073964
But I do lift 1/2/3/4

what does 1/2/3/4 mean?

>>39073719
Mostly lower body exercises such as hip trusts, donkey kick, hip abduction, glue kickbacks, barbell glute bridges and the sort.
Also welcome to /fit/ fellow trap :3

>>39074043
Number is based on how many 45 lb plate you have on each side

OHP/BenchPress/Squat/Deadlift

>>39073964
Sure if your a new to the gym. But what more can you learn about lifting from /fit where you can't learn faster by reading a book?

/fit/ can really be a huge motivation. Some people actually believe that fitness just mean big muscles but most understand that fitness is way much more than that and can be encouraging in some way.
