How you holdin' up, /fit/? Having a good day?

Dogs woke me up this morning. I'm pretty tired but I still have to lift in a couple hours.

I'll smash down this old preworkout my gyms owner gave me before I head out.

Hopefully this tinder chick texts me back, I'm really looking forward to clappin dem cheeks if you know what I mean

>>39223637
Final nightshift of my 48 hour work week. Finally feeling like I've beaten my drug addictions and I'm working to get myself back to the point I was at earlier this year before I JUSTed myself. Been trying to get my boxing training back on track and I've finally found the method to do so. Looking to fight again in february and from that victory chase my dreams. Sick of being a wagecuck

It's good ma nigga. How are you OP?

>>39223681
Pretty good actually, had a very active past few days off
> tuesday went for a big bike ride around the city
> wednesday did gym in the morning and running at night

got work tomorrow but i feel like i've made good use of my time off

>>39223713
>got work tomorrow but i feel like i've made good use of my time off

I feel you. I'm really aware of how limited my time is since I started to approach 30, I feel like I've gotta achieve my shit now because I'll be slowing down soon. I wasted my 20's chasing girls and partying and half arsing my boxing training rather than fully committing and focusing.

I had a thought a while back which bugged me out; "how different would my life be if I had never touched drugs or alcohol?". It's made me realize just how much time I've wasted on the wrong shit. Got alot of catching up to do.

>>39223637

I just wake up, lift, work, shitpost, sleep.

I'm super unhappy with it, but at the same time I'm content?

Like, I realize this is depressing, but I have zero motivation to meet people or anything

A-ok - just had a brief attack of body dysmorphia. Heartbroken by how tiny i look and then doubly crushed by how many moles I have. Proving that no matter how big I get I'll still look like shit

weird how I have the same moles every day but sometimes I see so many more than other days

>>39223637
yeah woke up today, remembered i don't need anyone but myself

bank account full of numbers

and im white

>>39223795
I've given up on people m8. Been through girlfriends that let me down and had friends who have let me down.

All my buddhism studies seem to have paid off, it seems the only way to win the game is not to play it and just be happy with the shit you've got. I've got free time to do what I like and I'm always busy.

I skipped a midterm so I could lift.

>>39223841
I'm 5'8 Senpai.

Been boxing for the last 8 years, been pretty depressed though and numbed my shit with drugs.

You sound bitter Senpai.

Im really tired but okay otherwise. Been working on learning piano when im not at work, in the gym or playing another instrument so that has been taking a good amount of my time up. Think i have a date later with this guy (no homo) but we'll see. Missed a lifting session this morning because i had to work instead which bummed me out but i guess ill go tomorrow instead. Still feel really off mixing up my traing schedule though but whatever. All in all, holding up pretty well for once.

>it seems the only way to win the game is not to play it

This is not winning. There is no choice in playing the game, everyone plays. By not playing, you are just standing still while everyone with their shit together laps you, and they will look at your arrested development with pity in a few years.

First day of lifting I feel really good. I'm sore ass fuck any methods to help with that?

Im barely passing Nursing school I gotta step up my game. EVEN IF I HAVE TO STOP LIFTING for a while of course

Mother is texting me asking what's wrong after not contacting her for months. Didn't wish her a happy birthday

Ex gf broke my heart a few months ago but is now back and using me for sex

My job is easy mode but the banter of coworkers ruins me by the end of the day and I hate having to go back.

I've googled suicide related things the past couple of days, like reasons not to kill yourself, wanting to die but not wanting suicide, and if you owe anyone anything

Followed my ex ex gf to a different city where I don't know anyone and have no interest in staying. It's a really depressing place and I want to move but spent all my money. Currently broke

I have plans to fly to Chicago and visit my friends and they are all really excited to see me and have made tons of plans. I've thought about cancellling everyday. I'm worried that when I get to the airport, I just won't go.

I guess I'm not doing that well, anon. And the worst part of it all is that I'm a very comedic person. When people talk to me I genuinely make them laugh and no body knows any of this about me. I'm having really tough time and I'm really worried about me. I'm really worried

I just set this bad boy up in my friend's warehouse. Got an insane deal on craigslist. Picking up 480 in plates and another bar this weekend and probably a rollaway bench as well.

I will do curls in my own goddamn rack.

>>39225659
Why wouldn't you go anon? That sounds like fun!

Personally I've been thinking about rushing a frat in the spring because as a sophomore, that will be my last time to rush. I realized that the only things I do are smoke weed alone, lift alone and hit on girls alone and I'd rather be doing that with bros than alone.

Supposedly the frat is so big most brothers don't know each other and they'll accept anyone. I rushed both semesters freshman year. I guess they didn't like me. Oh well.
I'm cutting, but I think the stress from school and my stimulants is making me drop weight to fast. A week ago I weighed 173, Saturday and Sunday I pigged out at an all you can eat buffet, and now I'm 170. 6'0 shitty lifts
CMU by the way
>Inb4 not your blog faggot
That's what this thread is for.

>bear mode dude squatting to depth...with 65 lbs (maybe getting over an injury)
>cardio bunny caught me checking her out off a 3 mirror bounce

>>39225839

Yeah, you should be ashamed.

Just check them out like a man. Women don't mind.

You're saying 'I think you are attractive'. It's a compliment.

Especially coming from a ripped dude.

Checking out girls through mirrors is fucking pansy ass shit

Kind of went into an alcoholic slump during midterms the past month. Almost everyday I could I would down 6 tall boys of beer, eventually was finishing handles of liquor in a few days. Went back into depression for a bit and found myself listening to Hank Williams on repeat.

Stopped drinking and everything is great now though. I think midterms just got to me. Fuck school I need to graduate already.

My mom went and blabbed to her coworkers about my weight loss. Now one of her coworkers wants to set me up with her daughter so I can help her lose weight. Although I wouldn't mind having a qt to get fit with, I have no idea what she looks like. But the real problem is that they're really religious and I don't have the patience to deal with that.

Also what the fuck am I supposed to teach her? My reasons for losing weight are really personal to me.

there's some leftover steaks in the fridge and i'm trying real hard not to cave and eat a big fat one

other than that, pretty good

>>39226312
How about you just explain to her that you don't mean to come off as distant while texting/chatting and that you need some practice to get used to it? This of course is assuming she's a reasonable and understanding human being.

>>39226312
Take a step back and think it all over.

Teach her the goods of anal sex.

>>39226353
I told her and she told me that she's ok with that and that I shouldn't feel forced to talk to her to make her feel relevant in my life. But I'm really insecure and doubts always come to my mind even tho her friends are always telling me that everything is going well and that she's happy.

Just beginning to get over ex-gf, trying my absolute best to slowly phase out any thought of her- deleting pics, trashing gifts.

Friend started coming to the gym with me. I thought he would start flaking after a few weeks but he's quite dedicated. Never thought I would have a gymbro but I guess I do now.

>>39226739
Take care bro, if you can avoid it, it brings nothing but misery and pain. I've wrecked my life situation by boozing too hard. Got sober for a year but relapsed recently. I'm trying to control but pressure gets to me and fucking let it slip.

I'd normally say you gonna make it we all gonna make it, but today I'm not so sure. Fuck

You to brother. I know where you're coming from. I drank almost everyday straight for a year and a half until the 1st if September and drink for a month and it felt pretty good. Ive lost friends cause of it and I stopped cause i got stupid around my kid. And it was whatevers until Sunday when i got into that argument. But i think relapsing ain't bad unless your gonna get stupid drunk every time. Take it slow and have a beer a day and if you have more just try to tone it down until you reach your goal.
Drinking may have prevented my gains but i made a lot of gainz during this last year. Just more self control. Keep your head up

life is like a blur now. I just wake up, go to school, lift, do homework then repeat everyday. Ever since the beginning of this year the thought of just ending it all seems like a good idea, but i cant seem to get the courage to follow through with it.

>>39223637
It's been 15 minutes she didn't text me back. Is she getting D'd by the BBC?

There's something seriously wrong with me. I've always felt very different to other people. I can't understand how people can get so happy and so sad about things. I see people in college and they seem so enthusiastic about life. I cant understand it. I can't remember the last time I wanted to get up in the morning. Maybe I never did. This isnt a recent thing, ive been like this all my life. I feel like any rational person would have killed themselves by now, rather than putting themselves through the misery I put myself through everyday. I force myself to do things I hate because apparently its meant to make them easier, eventually.

I work so fucking hard, for no reason. I dont have any purpose for it. I just work hard so I can go to bed and know that at least I'm trying. Even with all this depressing shit going through my brain, I'm not giving in.

>>39226823
Thanks bro. I'm holding it together for my kids sake, gotta try and find that balance.

I lost 25kgs after quitting, I'm back in good shape now which makes it easier to start up again.

Coming off a cycle of test I hit some severe depression, also lost my drivers licence for over a year.

Feels good to talk about this, no one cares irl

>>39227338
How long have you been lifting ? Never did that to me, but I've been lifting only for a month and a half.

>>39227349

i go about 5-6 times a week but occassionally ill just have a day where im extremely tired for some reason

>>39226868
>Depressed

Proud of you, bro. Try getting into a hobby you like, other than lifting, vidya or animu. Preferably a hobby where you meet people, like playing a musical instrument, cooking, or being part of a reading club.

>>39227367
>5-6 times a week
Holy shit no wonder you're tired. Why don't you try having a break ? Like instead go to the gym 3-4 times a week, and rest on your days off.

>>39227378

I thought 5-6 times a week was completely normal, I generally only train for an hour and half each day

>>39226312
>don't really feel like chatting her up thru facebook or whatever

Im the same way bro.I just told my girlfriend straight up that i dont like it and she understood. Just make sure to say goodnight and text her reminders that you like her and you'll be fine.

>>39227398
I'm no /fit/ guru, but try going less to the gym and sleep more. Maybe it'll work.

Got back from the gym a couple hours ago. Been going for a month now, it's become almost like a meditative state while I'm there. Everything feels intense and I can just let it all out. Anyone else know this feel?

For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm gonna make it....but you know what /fit/, we all are, we're all gonna make it...

>>39227398
lots of people train 5-6 days a week, but the fact that you don't even know if your routine is 5 or 6 days tells me you don't really know what you're doing. if your performance decreases it means you're underrecovered, so either eat more or make one or more of the days light days where you lift lighter weights.

>>39227421
I know what you mean. I like listening the music or motivational speeches while i lift. I almost go into another world.

>>39223871
you skipped a midterm because you weren't ready

>>39227421
yeah, I lift just as much for the mental benefits as the physical gains at this point. honestly I'm not sure how I would handle life without the gym. there's just so much stress, loneliness and sadness, but the gym keeps me going.

I was in a party at my friends house, ended up making out with one of my friends girlfriend. We were pretty drunk at that point..

So of course the guy saw the thing and got mad as hell, aswell all my friends there.

Fuck drinking, i'll just focus more on lifting instead from now on

But whatever, its been a few days now and everything's pretty normal at the moment.

Just dont know what to do with my friends. I think they all hate me now kek

College grad student in (((a regional linguistics branch))) here.

I've been running for three years now and lifting ever since my last meaningful relationship ended to just control my anger. My field is so overwrought with liberals who want to change every country in "ethno-linguistic-region X" that I wonder why my fellow grad students study it at all other to give themselves a smug sense of moral superiority over an entire group of people. It pisses me off to no end, we are already such a fucking niche, why do we have to shit on the people, their traditions, cultures, and governments?

I just wanted to take my autism and study with it, while working out, and I feel more isolated and lonely in grad school than I did being a working schmuck. I've lost all my friends and feel to bitter to start a new relationship because the last one outright stole from me and fucked a Chad, leaving me to pick up the pieces in a ghetto apartment she picked out but I payed for.

I sometimes think about terrorism, or unironically about suicide attacks, (not Muslim), and fuck it if I have to endure 4 more years of increasingly retarded campus culture, I'll do it. I'm so fed up with this bullshit, it gets me mad enough to lift, and it helps, but it's also not enough. I wish I still had friends but I know I'm an unpleasant fuck, I just try to stay quiet and not say anything mean.

I'm not sure what else to do.

Went and joined a gym today.
Now I'm having a panic attack about my first day tomorrow.

Wtf do I wear. Wtf routine do I do. How do I know if my form is any good?
Help me

>form

If they have machines use those first if they don't use the smith machine with little weight, practice squating, benching and incline benching down to your chest.

If you're using free weights PRACTICE WITH THE BAR and if you feel like you're already stronger than that AFTER YOU PRACTICE WITH THE BAR, add ten pounds until you feel like it's comfortably hard to do 4*5 3*8 or 3*10 reps. However you like.

When you start try to do bench, incline, curls with Dumbbells, machines if they have them are great for beginners, squat and leg press.

>>39227855
just wear something comfortable that won't limit your movement. no jeans is basically the only rule you should follow for clothing.

read the sticky tonight and look at either stronglifts 5x5 or Starting Strength and decide which one you'd rather do. I personally favor SL over SS but it's personal preference.

there's only 3 lifts you'll be doing day 1 so watch some videos about form for each one and maybe rewatch them before you start each one. on both programs you start with a pretty easy weight so you can get comfortable with the movements so don't worry about failing reps or needing a spotter.

also, don't stress about being weak. use this time while you're still at low weights to work on your form and you'll progress quickly.

also GOMAD

I felt like garbage yesterday so I skipped my run and my workout, ate junk for all 3 meals, and an entire box of mac and cheese.
I'm worried I'll redamage my broken ankle from last year so I thought I could cycle instead, realized I have a flat tube and no money to fix.
Continued depressed rut, I'll just eat more junk tomorrow and not workout till I fix my bike....
I don't want to give up..
I've come so far..

>>39228119
Yes, but she's kinda weird. She answers my texts after a few days, but I'm not beta enough to keep texting her if she doesn't answers right away. Maybe she's just busy with her business studies, she's in a prestigious and demanding school. She was very tactile on our first date, talked and laughed a lot, but it has been a month since, and if everything goes well I'll be seeing her in a few hours. I don't want to get into a serious relationship but she's really waifu material.

>>39225492
Stretch before you go to bed every night and eat like a motherfucker. Instant gains

I am at 22% bf and want to get down to 15 or lower without losing my gains.

I started training seriously around 3-4 months ago with a cut.
It went well but I thought I was getting too light at 64kg 5'8 so I started eating at around maintenance again for a month now.

Should I go on a lighter cut (300cal or so) in order to prevent losing the gains I made?

I quit smoking last week and being ignored by friends. I'm angry, lonely, sad and feel myself starting to slowly lose my sanity. I'm not gonna make it, boys.

>>39229556
I can confirm the coding. I have been working on one personal project since july and it keeps me occupied. Its not even important project, its game related.

I found a boxing gym. I hope it helps my head, things aren't going fine. At college while I'm doing fine I can't bring myself to give a fuck about studying more and I refuse to be mediocre.

Found out the girl I was crushing on and had some sort of history will be visited by a lad whom I think was the one who made everything I had with her go to shit. He will stay six days and she will spend every single day with him. She told me herself. I know I don't have any chance whatsoever with her anymore but I just need to hear her saying something about it.

I get angry pretty fast and such situation didn't help. I just want to understand, /fit/, I really do but nothing makes sense. Hope the gym will be kind to me, because life has not.

Sorry for the blog post.

Started drinking water (better for my teeth and head, worse for lifting)
Haven't smoked a cigarette in a week and a half

Today is my first day back on /fit/ in a really long time and it makes me feel like a useless shit with no discipline. I know what the right answer is (lol hang urself breh) I just need to find the discipline to start lifting again. Starting from scratch sounds fucking awful though.

Sort of a mixed day.

Went to the doctors, need to get a blood test to find out why I've suddenly got ED.

But I also aced an interview and had a nice 10k run.

Started dieting for real for the first time since Monday and I've stuck to the schedule and haven't touched a beer or anything bad in 4 days now.
Used to drink daily, weed helps me but now I'm broke.
Haven't studied any of my homework due for the last 2-3 weeks. I feel like I'm becoming more bitter with the world and I am angry at people but I don't know why.

I hate the way I feel. I just hope a healthy diet and lifting will take the top off.

I was you, kind of still am.
At some point you will stop feeling sad, stop feeling happy. You seriously just stop feeling and caring.

Example: I can hold a presentation for 30 people and then I'll leave afterwards, because I dont need to be at school unless its important. No anxiety, I was dead inside but kept on living at the same time.

Finish your school, then take a year doing whatever you want. Hell take your time, whatever you need. Realize life is about conquering the old you, fuck what people think man.

My motto is
A man who has nothing, has nothing to lose. Thus making him the most dangerous man.

I'm having a great day. Just acquired a forbidden candy and will open it momentarily. Pic related, it's the candy.

I've been really sick for over a week now. All I've been doing is browsing /fit/ and playing vidya. I've also been eating pretty dirty because I haven't really had any appetite. A few days ago I spent 21 hours without eating because I couldn't hold anything in. I'm getting a little better now but still nowhere near good enough to go to the gym.
Can't wait till I can go lift again tho, at these moments you really realize how much you love lifting.

My lifts seem to have randomly dropped significantly this week. Did 175x5 bench last week. Couldn't even unrack it this week. Almost passed out on my last rep of deadlifts, which I couldn't even lockout. My OHP went down by like 15 pounds. Squatting went from being a challenge that I could handle with good form and some effort, to being absolutely impossible and uneven. I don't get what the fuck is going on maybe im dying.

Had an excellent meeting with a private group that helps walk start-up companies through the insane bureaucracy that exists to start a brick and mortar facility and help find investment.

The leader told me he had "no doubt" I would get funded and that I was bringing the first new idea he had seen in ages to the table. Went as far as telling me I should start franchising as soon as I am operational because "this is going to be big."

Now I'm trying to find some needed "seed capital" and I'm working on the proper business plan for potential investors.

I'm feeling optimistic for the first time in years.

Still making it to the gym 5 days a week too. Progress is finally showing after 6 months.

Girl on tinder tells me she practices sword swallowing, says I remind her of Patrick Bateman from psycho (I'll fucking take it) and later that her nipples are pierced. What's the quickest way to dick her down /fit/

>See girl at uni I've been talking to a bit
>Talk with her
>Walk with her to her car
>Goes well I think, make plans to go to lunch
>Check her Twitter just now
>She makes a tweet that says "don't follow me to my car and talk with me it makes me want to talk to you less"
Wtfffff

>>39235513
>her nipples are pierced
"Prove it" is the appropriate response to this statement, she was practically begging to show you her tits

Called back to follow up on interview from last week, guy said I'm first in line for the job he just has to get HR's approval. Feels good, man.

>>39235513
She sounds like a turboslut who already badly wants your dick, just go full Chad Thundercock on her and basically tell her "Ayy baby u want sum fuck"

>>39228297
why you breaking up with her mayn

>>39226646
I said get thE FUCK OUT OF MY FUCKING ROOM YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS


FFFFFUUUUCCCCKKKKK

>>39225413
Asking her to confirm just gives her the chance to cancel. Just say, "Looking forward to our date tomorrow" or smth.

Im doing alright man. Went to class, semester going well. Spent some of the day thinking about the girl I hooked up with but wont text me back. Good day lifting, repping 275 on diddly now. Bacne is flaring up, probably because of the stress of school and other shit.


Not bad man.

>>39235806
I feel this man. Met this girl because she hung around girls im good friends with, could def feel her flirting and her interest in me but thought nothing of it. Couple weeks back we both got really drunk at a party and we went to her car, fucked, and talked for a good hour.


Havent seen her since, and had a short text convo that ended without a response. Idk man I thought we had a connection but maybe it was just alcohol. Feel used desu, maybe this is what its like for girls who have chads hook up with them and never text them again.

The only problem is she cancels on me when her dad who is 70 something years old asks to hangout. This was the 3rd date canceld cuz she wanted to hangout with him. What do I do? It's annoying but she's always super apologetic, do I just deal with it?

learning to love being single because apparently I'm damaged goods. Cheating ex wife hit me up with a domestic violence arrest that was ultimately dropped by the state because I simply pushed her off of me in self defense then punched a hole in a door when she actually dialed 911. I try to escape it, but my conscience and that damn public record arrest file on the local county's website prevents me from reaching out to anything but a 45lbs bar and some pl8s. I'm not bad looking. Intelligent. Gainfully employed. Jack of all trades and a master or journeyman at all. Still though, my social circle is in crumbles. Online dating goes nowhere at least in this town of 100k corn fed religious lame ass people. Oh yeah, I'm agnostic and half the people I meet online are like that's a dealbreaker anon, Jesus is my copilot. Hmm... I gained 20lbs of muscle mass since the divorce and got time with my kids back because even though,the state dropped criminal charges, the dcfs pulled the plug. So that's a plus. I also finished a development project tonight that I'm really proud of because I never went to college and only have a GED. I got to keep the house and acre of land it sits on. My dog. My wrx. My drumset. So I guess it isn't all bad. I'm going to make it.

Dear Dead Journal,

Just realizing what a ugly skeleton I've become after she took everything and left.

Depression does weird things to people, a lot seem to binge eat, but I just lost my appetite for the last 2 years. Finally starting to come out of it, and lost 50 lbs. I am now a 6'1 140 skelly, when i use to be a decent 6'1 190. Hopefully there something at the end of all this.

>>39236220
yes, let ch... i mean dad see his daughter, man

Trying to quit smoking - only on my second day and having hardcore withdraws.

>>39236516
When i did, for some reason, the shitty symptoms did not make me feel like smoking, so I suffered through them more easily.

Pretty good actually thanks anon. Went to a huge house party last night, smoked and got drunk for the first time in ages. Pulled an asian qt and spent the whole night laughing and getting off with her. A lot of us went out to a club afterwards and then I took her back to hers. Was about to administer the D when I noticed my brother had left me a hundred messages asking where I am and saying I needed to get back to his asap. Was a little pissed but did so. Turned out there was actually a good reason, but shit, he could have told me something was up instead of just insisting I drop everything and go.

Didn't get much sleep but dragged myself to the gym today and had a good session.

Anyway I'm really looking forward to seeing her again. She's no 10/10 but she's miles hotter than my current FWB, who is getting pretty annoying. Haven't been doing so well the past couple of weeks so I'm glad to have had some fun.

Oh and something really strange happened to me at the party, I hope you'll find it amusing

>Go upstairs to take a piss
>One girl already outside the bathroom waiting
>The girl in there is taking a while so I get chatting to the girl waiting and introduce myself
>We're having a laugh and joke about going in together to save time
>The girl finally comes out and heads downstairs, the girl I'm chatting to goes in
>She turns, holding the door, looks at me and says "come on then"
>I smile and laugh
>She's still looking at me and still holding the door
>sheisntjoking.exe
>Stroll confidently into the bathroom and turn around while she does her business
>Then she turns around while I go
>We're chatting casually the whole time
>By this point some people are waiting outside and wondering what's taking so long
>We finish and walk out, no fucks given
>Say bye to her and go back to the party
>Don't see her for the rest of the night, despite keeping an eye out for her

That was kinda weird, she was cute af though. I'm half convinced she was a mirage.

>But then who was piss?

>>39236548
Should I just switch to vape and decrease the nicotine? These withdraws are pretty hardcore and for some reason my head is dizzie (not like sick dizzie, but like runner's high x2) and I fear I can't drive and I need to for work.

Not really, cold turkey is far more effective. You have to find unrelated shit to do, though, and keep yourself occupied as long as possible.

If you don't mind developing another addiction for a few months (anything, really, games, eating, sports), that could be useful as well. It won't be nearly as hard to beat later.

man just text her sometime ask if she wants to hang out, maybe go drink something or whatever you know there is to do in your town and you feel you'd both enjoy it. If she says no, just forget about her, not in a douchy way as in 'fuck this bitch', just forget it. You fucked her and you said you both talked for good hour in that car, that sounds really cool. Dont obsess over her, if you play smart you might get to see her again, even fuck her again. Or you might get to knew her better if you are interested in that and make a female friend. Idk man, do as you feel it will benefit you more.

>>39236626

I literally couldn't believe it, she did not give off that type of vibe at fucking all
We made plans as in she said she'd text me and let me know when she's free but I'm assuming she'll never text me so I don't need to worry about cancelling anything
Genuine blow to my self esteem and shit, I finally get the courage and stop being a pussy and talk to her then I get hit with this

>>39236689

Don't let it get you down, you're gonna make it

Slept at my ex place for a week, i'm in the train rn going back to my place.

Was suposed to come back last night but she started to cry, plus she have to move to another place this morning.

Ate shit the while week, even ended with a pizza so i guess i propably put on a bit of weight.

I'm thinking about reinstaling tinder just for validation, i dont feel like trying to date someone yet.

Sorry for the blogpost

I need to think about a hobby or something to do with other peoples to make friends.

After about a week off, I'm going back to the gym tomorrow. I'm a little nervous because I don't know how this injury is going to hold up. I'd train around it, but that means it's be all lower body and I can't hold any weights. If I hurt again during, I'll call it quits but I have a doctor's appointment Monday just in case.

I really don't want to have to take too long away from working out. My health is fairly stable right now, and I need to take advantage of this before the winter comes in and fucks my shit up. Plus I need lifting to keep the feels away

Depression is the norm, I cant really complain at this point

Unless you know her boyfriend personally, you did nothing wrong. But if she cheats on him she'll cheat on you, so not gf material.

>>39239952
this. any girl who's willing to cheat on her bf with some random guy she just met and pretty much knows nothing about is obviously not to be trusted.

Don't feel like a human anymore

have not lifted for two weeks after taking time off for SI joint

but yes, I will, sunday.

>>39240025
>I kind of just want to fade away
of course you do, because you don't lift anymore. lifting is probably the #1 thing that keeps me sane. even if I don't want to I force myself to lift and be social, because if I don't do those things I spiral down into depression. I think this is a lot more common than we believe

>>39240042
I'm not managing to be social

I miss having hobbies and caring about life

>>39227338
I have had that before i think you should get better sleep and eat more if youre not cutting. then scale back the workouts for a week then go back in thats usually Helped me

>>39239952
>>39239965
That may be true but she was pretty upright about this stuff i.e. she would consider me as bf material but she told me she wasn't gonna break woth her bf just to be with me, so technically she's not cheating. Also, we've known each other for a month. Whether she's gf material is debatable, imho.

How'd it go?

Spent the past 3 weeks hunched over a desk doing uni work and exam study. Fairly certain I have RSI in my neck.

Finished last exam yesterday, don't feel like I passed any of them, let alone the units. Honestly I just don't want to fail because I'm burnt out and want a break.

Siblings and family are wearing me down with each passing day. I fear snapping since I feel my limits being tested each day.

Just first world problems all around. If you can count Australia as a first world country.

>>39239863
we didn't even cuddle

I don't know man it's like, I want to be over my ex, and I want to go out and bang random sloots, but I just can't accept myself for doing it

Still on ice from bad OHP form. I can bend my back without pain now, so I'm going to start back with legs tomorrow afternoon. Between not having the gym for emotional release and the rainy weather, I'm starting to feel depressed. I wake up, go to work, go to school, and try and find time to play Destiny for a few hours. I don"t interact with anybody outside of academics or work, I can't get a date or someone to text because I'm fat, and all my friends are unavailable most of the time. Existence is shit.

Like shit

Got bed bugs and isotretinoin is killing my mood. I have been depressed as fuck these days.

heir early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Trying not to suicide. GF left me almost a year ago now, and it still crushes my soul, I can't lift that pain

Help me /fit/, there's this girl who is an awesome person, has a great personality, great sense of humor and likes the same shitty pretentious music as me, we like each other but I just don't like the idea of being just with one person.

I like being free.
I like liking multiple girls.
I enjoy being alone without having to talk to someone most of my day, but she fucking adores me, which feels great.

What should I do?

Since I started taking ZMA I've started having extremely vivid dreams. Now all I want to do is sleep, because my dreams are vastly more satisfying than anything real life has to offer.

Remember in Inception when the dude providing the sedatives showed us the group of people who sleep for 23 hours a day, that was the equivalent of months in the dream world? I fully understand those people now.

I am 26 and have only had 1 gf in my entire adult life. Good thing is I fucked her, but I think it is time for me to get my shit together relationship wise. I have a serious problem interacting with women, I feel totally autismo and I have no idea how to deal with them.

God dammit why can't I find a qt3.14 with a similarly fucked up brain.

>>39246148
Iktfb. I have never had a GF, I,ve had a handful of girls and some fwb's but never anything serious. My mom left me as a kid and left me with my very stern, borderline abusive father. I have had contact with her but very on and off and generally dysfunctional, paired with the dysfunctional relation to my father this has made it really hard for me to let people get in close to me. Most my friends are people from highschool with a few exceptions. I just want to be able to dare to open myself, I know I am generally percieved as a nice, funny guy and people at work etc often try to make friends with me but I can't seem to let most of them be more than aquinntances. Am i doomed to be forever alone? I am starting to get really fed up with this bullshit life.
