>>39534822
ppl which i know gets ripped on sometimes.Diet really helps though. I was eating like shit before: healthy-ish foods but nowhere near enough food, especially protein. Now I make sure I have at least 100 grams of protein every day.

Don't worry I'm still failing in life and have no friends. Also, she has to know I'm straight and falling for her, what a tease.

>>39535112
fuark this hits too close to home. My female friends think I slay bitches and my boys think I do bretty gud but im still an 18 year old virgin.

That's pretty fast progress. Took me 2 years to go from benching 30kg for reps to 100kg. Then another 2 to get to 150kg.
>Tfw long arms and inferior genetics

>>39535112
You can keep her around but keep your eyes open for more. Don't fall for the "the one" meme.

>>39534464
congrats. big progress since you started

>>39535112
>Your head in her lap
You dun fucked up m8

>>39535219

Took me a long time too. 4 years to hit 140/(315) basically. But i feel like latebloomers have a lot more potential and i am benching much more now.

All the kids who came in benching 70 the first day are still struggling with about 110 7 years later.

>>39535234
Yea I know, not a little teen anymore.
>>39535288
Why's that? Mostly I was passing out drunk so i doubt it was avoidable.

>>39535288
not that guy but this shit happens to me all the time at parties but nothing escalates past lap sitting and cuddling till one of us gets too fucked up. maybe i should go in with an intention to fuck? idek...

advice brehs?

>>39535304
all the time being what happens at the few parties i go to

>>39535296
Yeah, good old hard work. I'll never compete at a national level (without roids) but my lifts are respectable at least.

Stand up, take hand, lead to private area.

Whisper come with me before standing up. This part depends on the woman.

>>39534995
Ur a fat fuck, lift for aesthetics over strength, friendo

How the fuck is it possible to not be able to do 1 rep with the empty bar?

>>39534464
By "last June", did you mean 6/2015 or 6/2016? Either is quite impressive nonetheless.

>>39535219
Damn, that must have sucked. I've been using weights for 11 months, I'm hitting lmao2plate on bench in maybe three weeks.

Congrats.. I just hit 225x2 the other day. I been at it for about 3 months and never any sort of program prior. (Age 25). I still look like absolute dogshit. I started at 240 and am now 253 I think some of it is lean muscle Hoping the pendulum starts swinging the other way soon. And I start burning this trucker belly off.

I'll trade you a bad feel.

Don't let it bother you.

6 weeks ago I caught stomach flu, lasted a whole fucking week, during which I couldn't eat anything and shot water out my ass.

Then, right after it ended, I grabbed the wrong water bottle at work and got isopropyl alcohol poisoning, another 3 days of shitting water.

Despite all that, I'm already back to normal, breaking PRs even.
Just hit a 4pl8 deadlift for 8 reps

Drink more water, eat as much as you can, don't actually do your program, just do accessories and 50-60%RM on your main lifts.
When you get rid of your sickness, you can jump right into normal lifting.

>be me
>lift for four months
>strength went through the roof, super happy about
>suddenly stopped progressing on all lifts
>stressed before every workout because afraid of lack of progress
>start hating every workout
>kinda depress after every failed workout
>no idea what the fuck is going on
>this goes on for 3 weeks


Today I realized It's all only because somehow I stopped eating enough, I literally lost 5kg without realizing. Now that I know the cause... I'm coming back for gains.

>3pl8 bench
>single for 18 years
>hate my life
Stop while you still can, OP.

>>39537344
Right when I hit 225 I managed to pull both my lower trap muscles during the lift and put myself out for like 5 days then after that was good I did dips and pulled my upper traps/neck and was out for another 5.

Guys

I felt like doing a slow progress but realised that I started with 20 kg DB bench this years march, and now im at 32,5 kg for the same reps (4X8, 2 reps short from upping it to 35 kg)

I feel okay now

op gj, couldn't bench the bar either when I started in august, progress has been slow so i'm currently only benching 45kg but i'm trying to hit that 1pl8 bench by the end of the year, not going to rush it tho, wouldn't wanna get injured.

just hit 1pl8 x6 last week

i know it isn't much but it feels so good just to do it for the first time.

>>39536322
