Well fuck me /fit/
Just writing it out sounds kind of doable, wouldn't you say? Just 3-4 days a week 8pm going to the gym, why haven't I tried this before? I wonder if I can make progress at 3-4 days a week
>Fuck, I might give this a try

>>40346729

One of the dumbest things I have ever heard, you must trane the mind and the body. Without that balance you become like me

I'm 27 and dealing with heart failure. I'm not fat and exercised a good deal of my childhood and 20's. I'm currently trying to figure out the right combination of medication as i keep having to deal with side effects resulting in the cardiologist changing them. It's been a hard 6 months and it's been fucking with me mentally and physically as I can no longer lift weights. Just trying to keep a good attitude is exhausting.

>had to wait a year from my diagnosis for the surgery - shitty public system
>another 3 months before i can lift again
>gonna start lifting in May basically back at square one
On the plus side I won't be making the same mistakes as my first time.
We're all gonna make it.

Stopped lifting once I noticed an increase in hair fall and jeans started looking retarded on me.

Switched to calisthenics twice a week with yoga twice as well and lost 15 pounds.

What money I would have spent on chicken and preworkout I now spend on minoxidil, weed and new clothes.

I regret absolutely nothing.

>>40347249
lol, fucking hipster

good for you though, wish i could follow my dreams, but im weak

>>40346683
Because I have potential to be a world-class athlete in 2 sports in which being big is a genuine disadvantage. I'd rather do cardio, various body weight exercises, stretching, and climbing.

>>40347276
I'm also vegan.

>>40347294
hey, thats on you and if you can do it cool, get some lentils at least and try out a more west Indian vegan diet, the stuff you see in the US isn't really healthy

>>40347304
Love lentils. I stay away from the faux meat garbage.

I use cron-o-meter to make sure I'm getting all of my aminos and b vitamins. Shits easy as fuck once you know how to eat and I feel like a fucking god.

>>40346714
Prioritising video games over lifting is absolutely retarded.

Im also a 12 year WoW vet, so I'm not biased against video games.

>>40347330
Video games = depression

Serious talk

>>40346714
why dont you just lift right after shift, then study after you lift

>>40347611
Go to gym after work, full of people, have to wait for a piece of equipment like a fucking piece of shit, fuck waiting

My gym is 35-45 minutes away by car, depending on weather, and yet I'm still cutting and working out 6 days a week. So fuck you, your two mile gym commute, and your "winter bulk" you weak-willed little bitch.

Keep up the good fights anons, having a body that wonlt cooperate with your desire to get it to its potential is frustrating, but hopefully these a road blocks not dead ends

>>40347675

Anyone have the Florida one?

>>40347622
Why so many excuses man, I've noticed your posts, but why are you doing this to yourself? Nobody on here cares, but why continue down this path?

I do lift, but the bullshit reasons I've given for not lifting:

>"Lifting won't get me laid."
>"I would need to eat a lot of meat, and eating meat is bad."
>"If I want to be in good shape, I should do more cardio rather than lifting."
>"I'm never going to be able to lift as much as I want to."
>"It just feels like a waste of time."
>"I'm tired of people at the gym trying to give me advice."
>"I'm too nervous to ask people to spot me, especially since I hardly lift anything."

I'm too poor to lift, and too obese, I don't even have my own room and I'm 20 years old. Un ironically will end my own life if I can't get my security guard license and job.
