did you make this yourself?

>>39315381
Nope. But I love being able to focus on one big lift a day. Makes me feel like I can do heavier weight. Only doing this for 16 weeks total though, then I have a new routine I'll probably be going towards.

>>39314980

Who is she?

>>39315293
I am final year tourism management undergraduate student. Man this dissemination is fucking me up.

I've never been happier that I started lifting. Had it been even just a year ago I'd have just had to break her fall with my body. I'm making light of the situation but it's motivated her to start working out and eating right.

So I'm cooking all our meals together (just close to double what I make before) and we threw out all the shit food. Going to force her to gym with me, even when she doesn't want to. First couple of weeks if not 2-3 months will be the toughest, but as son as she sees results I think she'll pull through.

>>39315130
Stats?

>>39315342
Dont u think thats a bit too much volume for your biceps?

>>39316786
If anything I feel my triceps are getting too much work.

>>39314980
Started doing heavy cardio and lifting again after a year of laziness. After 3 weeks I have lost ~10 lbs.

Feels good man

>decide to give it one last try
>really try my best to nail my form, control my breathing, take it slow
>As of yesterday, I'm deadlifting 215 lbs

I know you guys will consider it babyweight, but I managed to exceed the weight that was causing me strain. I think I might finally know how to deadlift properly.

>In non-fitness related good feels, today I paid of the remainder of a loan that was stressing me out

>>39321111
Quads don't lie.

>>39321178
Congrats anon, I'm hoping to reach your level soon. Deadlifts are the most difficult workout for me, I tend to have bad form so I usually just use babby weight.

I just hit 115 on squats today, felt fucking good. I made two new gym buddies too, and was getting some mires from a cutie (only cause my face is pretty decent, still skelly). Feeling good brahs.

>>39315996
pics of mum?

Grats on the loan anon. I'd love to have it all paid off so I can ktf

>>39321046
Why so many reps? If I'm maxing bench for instance, I'll do 135x8
185x5
205x3
225x3
Then more weight for 3, then 2 then 1 and 1 and 1 till I hit it

>>39321584
its become a habit (feels likes it helped more with fatigue) and its easier to rep out heavier weights

i'll try lower reps and sets for tomorrow, see what happens

btw do you usually try to max or is it only when you feel good?

>>39321600
I only max out maybe once a bulk, so not very much. Maybe 2 or 3 times a year, but you do what you feel is best. I've tried keeping my usual rep ranges and I'm too fatigued by the time I reach my old max. I find 3 reps is enough to keep my muscles warm for the higher weights.

>>39315012
why shit on a beginner for no reason
you are a faggot and i hope you lose your gains

Got not one, but two sorta-mires this week.

One was from slavic bros saying I'm a madman for DLing without a belt and asking for form tips.

Second was qt at work: "anon has been hitting the gym".

>>39322216
Don't think just talk I used to be like this and man it's all in your head, girls are nervous as fuck

>>39323438

>Don't think just talk

bad advice for a literal autist

Like beyond bad. Horrible.

Do you not get enough hilarious green text stories already or something

>>39318001
Goal body right there. Routine? And how long you been lifting for?

>>39316381
Cl&J 100kg
Snatch 80kg

Nothing too extreme but for a 6'4 lifter it is pretty good. I have competition this December hopefully I will do better.

>Been lifting for a little over a year
>Friends are into it too
>They're both way stronger than me
>Keep hearing about their lifts
>I was bullied and a fat fuck most my life - my confidence is easily shaken
>Stop lifting for awhile - thinking I'm bad at this like everything else
>Go back to it but rarely participate in their conversations about lifting
>Ask one day about bar position with squats.
>How many plates?
>3, I know it's weak
>Tells me I haven't been adding bar's weight
>I've been counting wrong this whole time
Been squatting 330lbs
Benching 244

>I've rediscovered my fire, guys - that feeling
that made me want to better myself
>Benched 275 last week, was so happy I cried in the car on the way home
>Feels good to not be useless for once

Even if it's weak to you guys I've finally made progress on something
