The year is almost over. Did you guys finally "make it"

>>39287056
no

>>39287056
the moment you decide you've made it, you might as well kys fag. zyzz made it because he is ded

do u wanna be ded too

i dont

halfway there

>>39287056
When 1 year has passed, and you still feel like you're in the exact same spot as you were last year.

Tbh I'll be lucky if I can make it before the next election. I'm in this for the long haul (or as long a haul as I am physically capable of mustering), but it's admittedly pretty depressing knowing I've been at this for about 5 years now and don't have much to show for it outside of knowledge

Won't make it before the year is out, but this is my longest running streak of actually going to the gym without quitting to binge drink (2 months at least 3 mostly 5 days a week), I'm down 20 lbs, and I woke up and fell out of bed the other night because I felt a hard spot on the back of my arm. When I felt the same on the other arm I realized it was my tricep. I can actually feel my muscles now and not just flab. No way I'm ever quitting now.

>>39287056
Nobody ever makes it

>>39287056
Next year during my spring cut I'll be in a good spot. I think I'll be a bit on the small side still but I'll be happy with my hard work.

>>39287621
Pic of 5 year progress pls

>>39287075
This.

In the last year I've gotten with numerous qt's that never would have even realised my existence before I started lifting. In a sense I like to think that I "made it", but I'm still incredibly insecure about a lot of things and consider killing myself on the daily .. so I guess all I can do is try to get bigger and wait for the sauna to do its job.

No.

Made some progress though.

>was 300#
>dropped to 209#
>at 235# atm
>still cutting
>squat is at 245#
>diddly at 315#
>bench at 185#
If I keep the same discipline I had all this year into 2017 then I can see myself making it. I'm sure if I do make it I'll find little shit to nitpick at and be unhappy with my body once again.

>>39289740
The only progress I've made is some strength and fat, honestly, but I'm absolutely dyel. My health issues force a lot of inactive time on me, so every time I can go back to the gym, I have to spend a few weeks building strength back up.

I've gotten stronger in this time, but my stats are garbage. These are my PRs

>bodyweight: 120 -> 145
>bench progress: 45 -> 120
>squat: 75 -> 185
>dl: 90 -> 240
>ohp: 30 -> 90

>>39287056
I mean, Kinda.

I got with a married Asian chick in her late 30s this past winter/spring

She was cute but was depressed with borderline personality disorder.

Gave me a fantastic Valentine's Day at least.

I know we didn't really care about each other, there couldn't have been anyway since we had almost nothing in common. we were just in love with feeling like we were in love.

>>39287056
For the past week I've been having and completing a to-do list every day. I've accomplished more than ever before. If I keep this up for the entire next year, I can't even imagine how productive a year it will be. I'm already starting to wonder how I ever lived without a schedule and to-do list.

lost my virginity, hit 1/2/3/4. i guess its been a good year.

Graduated, started a good job, lost a decent amount of weight while increasing my lifts. Relationship with gf is now long-distance because of my new job though, not too happy with that.

Next year I will cut down to my goal weight and start a slow bulk. Gonna make it, bros.

>>39287056

I don't think I have made it fully yet but I made some damn good pregress

I've gotten stronger, started making some money (bank account from $800 to $13000), gotten better at making eye contact, but other than that still as empty and sad as always.
It's been close to two years since I started lifting, and while technically my life has improved in several ways, I don't feel it. I still have too many issues that cancel out any positive life gains.

Yeah, got my dick sucked this year

making progress.

the more fit i get, the more i realize that girls are empty and shallow. that in turn has lead me to ignore them completely in favour of further progress.

if this realization is making it, then i am progressing well.

>>39287056
I realized I made it when I found that making it was a journey, not a destination.

>>39291183

>>39287056

I made it almost. Thank you fit

>>39287056

She's got some great dick-suckin' lips

Haven't made it yet. You know what they say, the day you start lifting is the day you'll never be good enough.

>>39287056
Lost my virginity, fucked a couple different girls and got a gf who loves me and my muscles even though I'm barely out of dyel stage. Lifts are still slowly going up and I'm enjoying where I work.

I'm not where I thought "making it" was, but I'm super fucking content right now.

>>39292063
Nice, how did you lose your virginity?
Also , is it really that easy to transition to regularly getting laid once you've gotten over that hurdle? (provided you've already stopped being an autist otherwise)

About fifty pounds of fat down, probably ten or so pounds of muscle up.

This year I started to make it, I didn't expect to be done in under a year so yeah, I "didn't make it" but I'm on my fucking way at last and loving it.

>lost 200lbs, 350 to 200
>joined the navy
>still a fat fuck and progress has completely fucking stalled because I'm not allowed to use a stove here
>which means I can't cook my own meals
>which means I have to completely guess at counting calories at the galley

I'm getting there. Hoping that my next duty station will treat me like an adult and give me a fucking kitchen to use.

I made it in every metric aside from fitness.

Got a house, got a wife, got a prestigious job, got video games.

Unfortunately I'm also an overweight alcoholic.

So... I guess I semi made it?

>>39292476
>I made it in every metric except for the one that really matters

o i am laffin

Well, got a gf, trying to grow up and have serious relationships.

Lifts are going well, education is coming along, work is cool.
But I am a retard in relationships so yeah, never going to make it.

>>39287056
Making it is a state of being, not a thing that one ticks off of a list.

No, you're actually not gonna make it.

Lost my virginity, moved out, got a new job. Not too bad

Been back lifting two months and already down a belt loop and feeling and looking better
Be next year tho

>>39287056
I made it in the way that I finally am locked down with the gym, diet, and study. No matter what hits me, I keep up with all three. Now the body's just a matter of time, and I can work on other things

>>39292706
I hope to one day possess your will and resolve.

felt like i made it, but i was wrong. i'm beginning to think you can never actually make it, because everytime you come close, your focus shifts. maybe i should lay off the drugs

>>39287056
Gained 7lbs all year. Srs.

Slightly lower bf% though so I guess gains is gains. I will need to step it up big time for the rest of the year though.

I'll make it in the sense I'll look like a normal human with clothes on.

I'm probably never going to make it unless I somehow get to that mythic lmao2p8 bench that everyone else here can do easily. Hopefully I can get there in 2 or 3 years.

>>39287577
Last year I could hardly bench lmao1pl8 for 1 rep. Now I'm at 235 3x5. I've fucked around in the gym and diet. Hit 1/2/2.5/3.5 all for at least 5 reps. I feel that's good enough seeing as I didn't take it seriously.

>>39287056
After I make it I set another target to make it. I am continuously making it.

I went from living at home after the army with a shit job and no gf.

Now i have gf, live away from home and have a job in an industry i enjoy.

Feels fucking good man.

>>39287056
I've done pretty alright this year. If I keep going like this, I might actually be able to call myself fit next year.

>>39287056

I lost 30lbs this year, mainly by doing cardio - rowing, cycling and recently running. My schedule is about 30 mins rowing, and 30 mins of running later in the day. If I don't do that, I cycle for an 60mins. On the cycling days I usually try to do some strength training. I can't afford gym membership so I do incline push ups to target my chest, dips, and squats using a 15kg gas canister.

I really want to flatten my chest though. I've always had moobs and I would just feel so much better if I could just get my chest to be flat. It feels like the cardio isn't helping there. Sometimes the strength stuff seems to help, sometimes it doesn't, My chest just feels as flabby as ever. I'd love for a woman to touch my chest and for it to be as hard as my shoulders or thighs.

How did you do it, man?
I'm not even an autist, I just avoided girls who were obviously into me because I'm scared af and always find an excuse.
I can't help but feel that once I get over that hurdle and fuck my first girl, things will be allright, and I can make my lizard brain realise that Sex isn't a big deal.
But how do I get there?

>>39296319
Dunno man, I fixed literally every other thing wrong with me, and have no problems finding girls who are attracted to me. I just need to actually fucking DO IT, but I don't know how.

Dude I dont care if you are a mayor or some other shit. Fix those problems and you will be trully succesfull otherwise you are just some fat boi with money

Made a pact with myself that if I don't "make it" by this time next year; as in hitting goals I've listed, I'm going to an hero.

How can anyone deserve to live if you don't follow through?

Am leaner, bigger, stronger, better looking, with more social skills. Still a kissless virgin, guess that's what I get for not going out clubbing and staying home to get my 10 hours of sleep.
In fact I was closer to making it with a nice grill 7.5/10 when I was >40%bf

but your weapon next to mine
hammerin on down the line

hua

I fucking made it. Literally found the girl I love and have been with her for the last 7 months. Our relationship only gets better and so does my body.

I havent made it regardless of how much I tried, no matter how much I practice my conversation skills I cannot seem to appear natural or keep a conversation going.
Still a kissless virgin at 23 with oneitis for a girl that is pretty sexual (randomly makes out with them when drunk) with 2 of my friends (have a feeling they will end up having a threesome). The sad thing is why do I even have oneitis for a girl like that, she kissed 2 random guys one night in front of me while we were out but my brain wont register that, only her good attributes.
Perhaps because it is the first female Ive had prolonged contact in a long time.
The anxiety, lethargy and depression are killing me and not a single antidepressant out of the 6 I tried has helped me.
My sex drive is next to 0 and every day I feel like killing myself and like I will never find anyone in my life that loves me.
The only thing that keeps the little fire left in me going is the need to surpass all of them, pretty sad.
Im gonna hop on accutane, dutasteride and 500 mg of test soon as a last effort to fix things.
It seems as if not having a social and sex life in my youth pretty much damaged me but maybe it is still fixable.
If anyone has any more ideas on how to fix this situation Id appreciate it.
Hope all of you make it if I wont.

This year was shit. Wife threatened to divorce me / marriage is still rocky AF, my mother almost didn't survive major surgery, and several of my closest friends moved away.

These are all things that i never would have thought about in my early and mid 20s.

>he thought getting married would fill the void

top keke mate nothing fills the void, embrace the void, the void deepens you then you detach, become void and void disappears and you become so deep you transcend and deepen the others voids so they can to can transcend
