i-i'm skipping the gym today because i have a date

The older I get the less I enjoy weights and the more I enjoy cardio

>>39940156
go for it brah

>>39940127
i went on a month long break because i just couldnt be fucked for it all anymore. I went out with friends and ate like shit. A month later i had my fun but i also reminded myself why i never want to return to that life, forgive me father

I went to the gym once after fucking and my dick was all runny and cummy so I went to adjust my balls cause they were sticky and then my hand got sticky so I wiped it off on the barbell.

Been skipping cardio for a month now. Ain't nobody got time for that. I just want the gains to come.

Do we live to lift or do we lift to live? Go forth and enjoy yourself my child

>>39940158
Age brings many a new perspective to ones life. Many on this board have gone from aesthetics to strength as they age, you are simply further ahead

>>39940172
You have seen the life you led and it has strengthened your resolve for the future ahead, stay true and strong my son

>>39940188
Pardon the pun but it will catch up to you in the long run my son. There is more to health than lifting and you would do well to be a man of many skills

>>39940180
You disgust me

been getting this for $15 every other 3 days. normally i try to eat healthy but this deal is too good to pass up so been eating pizza nonstop. i try to stay in my calorie maintenance and put the rest in the freezer. sometimes i go over 500-1k calories tho..

>>39940180
jesus christ

>>39940156
She's already gobbling your gains.

>>39940180
Aaaand that's when I decided to go out and buy some lifting gloves...

Had my first fap of 2017 last night. I've only been doing it once a week or two since the summer, but I soon learned that going so long just ends with wet dreams outside of my control. It happened a few nights ago after 2.5 weeks (new record lol), and I told myself "might as well just reset the counter and start over on your own terms" and I feel like this was a poor rationalization.

I skipped my last gym session and all ive done is eat biscuits, fruit and nut mix and about half a loaf of bread with vegemite today and i know my body is gonna punish me tomorrow why do i do this

>>39940258
I just do it once a week. Often enough to keep me sane and keep my bed sheets clean. Infrequent enough that I don't feel like I'm consuming weeks worth of porn every month.

Find your sweet spot

>>39940127
I stopped going to the gym because I couldn't afford it any longer, and now I've regained most of the weight I lost. I've started to control my intake again, but I just have these terrible cravings. I binge and purge almost every night.

>>39940127
I'm sick and I barely even ate over the last 7 days now I'm afraid to go to the gym because i know I'll be weak as fuck

>>39940156
So it's the cardio day am i right

>>39940361
you dont need the gym to maintain your bodyfat, you only need it to maintain your muscle. If you cannot afford to go to the gym anymore accept that there will be muscle loss, offset it by some bodyweight work and use the remaining time do to cardio.

You sound like you have an unhealthy relationship with food that i also had, cardio is a godsend. I eat like absolute horse shit but doing so much cardio makes it mean i dont get fat, i do cardio 50% because you ive come to love it and 50% because going out with friends later is guilt free knowing im almost 1000cals short

>>39940478
Yeah, I have an unhealthy relationship with almost everything, but it's doubly worse for me, because when I was going to the gym, I had the kind of discipline you only read about. I mean it, I counted every calorie, I ate no sweets, I went to the gym without fail, even when I tore ligaments in my ankle and had an operation... I lost half a kilo every two days...

So, now that I'm having trouble, there's a lot more self-hate than just because I'm fat again. Because I did it before and it was so easy, and now I can't? What the fuck is wrong with me? So now it's less about losing weight and more about punishing myself.

It's been 5 months since I lifted anything heavy. Lost all my gains and I'm now a skinny fag.. I'll get back into again.. Soon.

>>39940546
when it rains it pours. One thing goes wrong and it all falls apart while when things work they run like a perfectly oiled machine. I know this feeling friend. I just came out of a long no gym period where i also put on the pounds, theres nothing to it but to do it. Go lace up now and do some cardio or go hit the gym if you can afford it again. Right now. There is no later; thats how i went so long doing what i was doing and it sucks.

Go out and do it. Better than that, learn to accept 99% sometimes mate. Its not the end of the world if you binge as long as you make up for it by burning it off. Its a problem when you binge and then get depressed

>>39940639
Thanks anon. That does make me feel a little better. I'm trying, at least. I have weights at home and I'm weighing my food and counting calories again.

It's just gonna take longer, but we're all gonna make it, right?

>>39940127
Went out for lunch AND dinner last night.
Had steak/salad. Tried to stay within my macros.
Went to the gym though. Not going today because beach.

Forgive me faather

I skipped the gym on Friday and worked out at home instead because I had a heavy cold

I was unable to progress on my squat and deadlift as a result as I don't have a rack at home

I've been feeling guilty ever since and now I don't want to go the gym tonight because it feels as if I've failed

>tfw chronic perfectionism
>tfw chronic low-self-esteem
>tfw possible OCD

Lord, forgive me for skipping the gym on Friday. Lord, help me to become the natty disciple I long to be
Lord, hear my prayer

>>39940127
Last time I went to the gym was a week ago and I wont be going for another week and a half as i've been hermitmode studying all day everyday due to finals

>>39940215
>You disgust me

I know, but listen father, there's more...

I never wash my clothes either, and it is only because of my wife that I ever smell semi-fresh. Before her, I used to work out in clothes that haven't been washed in periods of 3-6 months. Furthermore, I only shower once a week. Help me change my ways father...

>>39941473
How the fuck did you even get a wife.

>>39941574
>posts pics of his wife on 4chan
yeah I am sure its your wife.

I haven't gone to the gym in a year and have no money to go there.
I am trying to come up with a calisthenics routine so I don't just do nothing.

>>39940156
>not going to the gym before a date and having the pump while being with her.

never gonna make it

>>39941473
How did you not get any infections?

I haven't been to the gym for a week.

I started learning Russian 3 weeks ago, but haven't practiced in a week and I looked at the alphabet and couldn't read half the letters so my brain gains are gone already.

I'm not looking for work and i've got like 6 weeks of savings left before i cant eat or cant afford to run my car.

I've run out of easy ideas for meal prep so i've been eating mcdonalds and telling myself it doesn't matter because i'm on a bulk.

I finish my course in a month or two and will have a job after that, so that's why i haven't been looking for work, and I hurt my back deadlifting so i haven't been to the gym and that's cut all motivation for anything else in life over the past week and i feel like shit. Hopefully I go in tomorrow, my back feels better and I can get everything back on track and find motivation to eat right again.

mostly its me being a shit person apart from the deadlifting, that was me following shitty advice and i regret it, but yeah. there's a few excuses in here and i hate that

>>39940156
>Pursuing women over aesthetics

REPENT! REPENT! YOU HATH COMIT A MORTAL SIN

seriously tho dude have fun on the date

>>39940127

I'm going out later for drinks with friends

I pulled a 3 hour volume set this morning am I still doomed?

>>39940127
I'm eating nutella while cutting, I'm still under my tdee but I'm afraid I won't lose weight.

>>39940127
Sunday is my rest day, woke up at 7am, went to church, had lunch with family and now I'm sitting on the couch watching a movie and browsing /fit/.

>>39942269
> went to church
May i ask why?
Is it common?

>>39940156
Watch out buddy. It starts with a date for which you skip The gym and goes on to two week breaks, while you fuck her, eat shit, drink alcohol and basically dont sleep.

Been there, done that. Missed out on a great deal of gains

>>39940127
I'm addicted pizza and eat a large by myself at least once a month. Thankfully its quality pizzeria shit.

I would wolf down an entire box of cinnabon and dozen giant dougnuts by myself. I've managed to cut that out and now try to eat small business bakery goods once a month. Which just also happen to be 30+ min drive from me.

I'm that one guy hanging off the pull up bar doing weird bodyweight shit from the new years comics.

>>39940226
lol i bulk on pizza each day dude its fine
probably not too healthy though so drink alot of water

>>39942329
You must be from outside United States.

Church going is quite common.

Bingedrinking. This friday and the day after. Fuck

I'm so autistic about staying focused and trying to improve/staying on my cut that I've I haven't been out to actually use my gains.

I can't get myself to have a cheat meal or drink, because I've either worked out that day (Don't want to lose the progress I made!) Or lift tomorrow (can't be sluggish/hungover or i'll waste a gym session).

I wanted to look good so I could pull any chick in the bar, and now that I am, I can't get myself to go to the bar in the first place. I haven't had chinese food in 3 years, which was what I promised myself would be my monthly cheat meal to get myself to cut in the first place. And now that I'm finally single digit BF, I can't get myself to have any cheat meals, because cutting is so painful that I'd rather not cheat than cut longer. And when I bulk, I lift 6x a week and I'm just starving the entire day, despite eating 3500 cals of baked chicken/eggs/egg whites/potatoes. I can't bulk higher than 3500, because I refuse to lose my abs (again because I hate cutting so much I refuse to do anything that would prolong it).

In the end, I just tinder and have a rotating cast of 7s come over every night so I can cook a healthy stir fry and drink Coke (pretend to mix with vodka, of course, so she relax and drink her beer). But Girls on tinder are fucking disgusting and not worth LTRing, so I spend my life working, not going out and partying with friends, and fucking random 7s a few times before I get bored.

It's so fucking lonely.

>>39942996
Can you post a pic of one of these 7s? I need to calibrate my sytem because this board has a rating tier I haven't seen before.

I live in California but I can adjust for that.

>>39940156
Do it brah, but be wary of gains goblins

i just ate half a thing of ben and jerrys

>>39940127
Got addicted to amphetamine. I constantly feel like shit in the afternoons and my start shaking in social contexts / eyes twitch. I just make sure to lift when I'm at my peak and hit PRs.

>>39940127
I often neglect my stretching father. Also a few days ago the squat racks were all occupied by new years resolutioners so I said fuck it and skipped legs

>>39940127
>Neglecting your abs/cardio/stretching
How can people do cardio regularly? It's so fucking boring.

Father, I must confess that despite my best efforts, I am still 1 month NoFap.

>>39940215
>Do we live to lift or do we lift to live? Go forth and enjoy yourself my child
Fuck, there's actually deep wisdom here. OP should make these threads more often.

>>39943335
Get a weighted vest and do incline walking on the treadmill. It's far less boring than running and a lot better for conditioning. I can run 10 miles, but even for 30 mins at a 10% incline with 45lbs, I sweat like like a pig and I'm drenched as if I jumped into a pool. It's done a lot for my work capacity during lifting sessions.

>>39941046

Get a fucking bike. If you can't afford a fucking bike, buy some fucking running shoes. If you cant afford some fucking running shoes, buy a fucking jump rope.

Jesus christ.

I confess, I skipped last night, and hope to make it up today. I also drank a fucking soda yesterday.

I'm sorry father, for I have sinned.

>>39940127
Not sure if I should skip the gym today because I'm getting a deep tissue massage and might need to recover from it.

I'm doing my meal prep and stretching though.

>>39943328
>Got addicted to amphetamine. I constantly feel like shit in the afternoons and my start shaking in social contexts / eyes twitch. I just make sure to lift when I'm at my peak and hit PRs.
There's literally nothing wrong with that. Mathematicians do it all the time.

>>39940127

Forgive me father. I started a low carb diet at the start of the year, but it was my birthday this week and I've been eating ice cream and cake every night. I'll stop tonight I p-promise...

>>39943363
>soda yesterday
I did wednesday and that was my NYR.

Got right back on the horse Thursday and have been eating clean since.


Anyone else just completely fucking relapse when even a taste of their former self emerges? I had a sip of soda... then I drank the whole fucking bottle... then I ate a nasty frozen pizza!

I don't even like frozen pizza!?!??!

FUCK!

broke my wrist in september 16, haven't been to the gym since. still got a bit of pain when I pick up semi-heavy stuff so I'm worried about causing further damage but I can't be arsed to see a physio

>>39943412
I know how you feel bro.

some one help, I've just been sitting around for days. I don't even hate working out I just can't find the energy to muster myself to do more than go to work, shit, shower, and web browse and drink until I pass out. I have to clean my apartment but I just can't be assed to get up and I'm fucking disgusted

>>39943401
What's wrong with that? Why aren't you lifting a high intensity everyday that allows you to 5,000+ calories without gaining weight. Start working up to a 1 rep max squat / 1 or other compounds daily and reap the strength gains and size due to overall weekly volume.

>>39940127
Had a cheat day yesterday ... kinda the day before b-but I am going back to el gymbo today after my adult chores are taken care of!

>>39943646
I have no interest in that. I exercise for health first and function strength a close second. Big muscles are gross and frankly make you unable to do the activities I enjoy (basketball, jumping, etc).

Soda has been a problem my whole life so I was dissapointed I caved after only 4 days and then followed that with horrible meal.

I don't believe in the whole 'any calories as long as it fits in your numbers' stuff so we might not be on the same page. For me 1000 calories from a frozen pizza isn't the same as 1000 calories from a chicken salad
