I've been a skeleton for all my life, but lifting is making me gain serious weight.
I still eat like shit and I'm trying to rectify that, but I'm gaining 1kg every month.

bad feel here

what did she mean by this?

>>40430834

>>40430834

1. she wants to show you that other boys are interested (humble-brag about being attractive or some shit)

or/and

2. she wants to see if you care. If you feel bad about other guys talking to her you're being needy

just let her know you don't give a shit pretty much

>>40430834
She's attention whoring, and she's telling you so you'll get jealous, you'll want her more, and she's get off on it

The best trick is to reply "You think you're the only girl I talk to" and then wink face

It will drive her insane

(btw the way, she's red flag, avoid at all costs, or pump and dump if you have to)

>>40430858
>>40430834

what's up with this, is this really how normies work? a girl tried once to pull that shit on me, I just cut her out of my life. can't stand such retarded 'mind gamdes'

I've only started getting fit a couple of weeks ago, and only have started a proper program a couple of days ago, just got back from my first leg day, I feel like I could have died during the session but now it's done I'm feeling really good about myself.

Can I get a few motivational pictures to continue this buzz please? I like the ones with ancient roman and Greek statues with things talking about the strength and willpower of man. Thanks

>>40430834
Thats a spicy red flag there anon

>>40430871
yes

>>40430834
either tell her
>lol of course? you're not the only girl I'm talking to either
or just be like
>cool story bro

something liek that

Girls seek constant validation (like guys do, but on a much bigger scale)

They want to feel like the whole world revolves around them (unlike guys that just want to be able to carve out a little bit of the world and call it their own)

Whats she's saying is "I am such hot shit, everyone wants me, so if you want some of this you better step up your game because I have SOOO many offers from other guys, what makes you special?"

It dumb, and girls are retarded.

But to get around this just act like you don't care. Its the guy equivalent of say "I don't care if other guys hit on you, I'm such hot shit that if you don't want some of this it's your loss, the others guys suck accompaired to me"

She wants you to act like your the hottest shit, because she wants to feel like she's got the shit hottest man

let me repeat, girls are dumb, dont fall for their dumb tricks.

Just know that motivation alone is not enough, it's all about dedication. You'll often not feel like going to the gym, but drag your ass there every time, and it'll be fun once you get started, and in the end it'll pay off.

t. haven't missed a workout since 2016 :))

Hit a 3pl8 squat finally. I know it's still babbyweight but it's very satisfying because i've been lifting for 2 years (again, I know I should be much stronger) but only started actually taking nutrition seriously two months ago and made more progress in this two months than in the rest of the two years.

Lads, particularly new lifters: fucking track your macros

>>40430919
Thanks for the advice anon, I just love those sorts of pictures because of the positive feeling it leaves me with.

Dedication has never been a problem for me. I started play guitar one year, one week and 5 days ago.

t. practiced every days since 07/02/16

>the bicep vein

the first time i noticed it i was doing cable flys/flies

that was a real rush. I'm back on the fitness wagon after a particularly rough end to a long relationship and it feels to be seeing progress. My arms are more defined than ever and oh man do i fucking love checking out my collarbones. I'm so secretly vain it's almost narcissistic

>>40430834
Just ask like you don't care, she's trying to get a reaction out of you

It also means she's a giant whore

Did pic related machine for the first time yesterday. it gave me the most insane shoulder pump,or even pump general ive ever had. for the first time ever i could understand why Arnold was so addicted to pump. i actually cant wait until my next push day so i can do that machine again.

Did romanian diddly with 3pl8s for like 7reps and 3.5pl8 for 2 and half.

Then sid some lower weigth for hypertrophy, then did shrugs pyramid set from 1pl8 to 3.5pl8 to 1pl8

Some underage girl was staring at me doing that. Felt awkward.
Then some bodyweight dips for good measure, shoulder doesnt feel right.

Were all going to make it anons.
I started liftit 5 months ago but now i kicked this shit into overdrive, lifting almost every day

enjoy your testosterone boost from not being around an annoying cunt constantly. Also don't pay a lot for clothes if you don't know what you're doing. Get fit and wear h&m anyway, if they are nice and clean and fit you well, you should be looking great anyway. For skincare I recommend a brand called Skinfood, I use their moisturizer daily and its been amazing, my skin feels like I imagine Jared Leto's does.


>>40430987
dude looks like you are doing great, soon enough you're gonna be the one rejecting girls because their are not to your standard. What job?

>>40431032
fuck yeah, how tall are you and how many kgs?

>>40430927
thanks famalam, I am barely at 1.5pl8 after 6 months of lifting and I'm a skellyfag trying to hit my macros like you said.
Can you elaborate on what you eat? Is milk a no-go ? I've heard its estrogenic and shouldnt be drank too often?

lil bit of a rocky start because i'm coming from "fat kid with small social circle" territory and so i've got a lot of self-esteem/self-efficacy things to deal with, but i can feel myself making it more and more every day, brehs. Thank you

Im 187cm tall, went from 84kg to 90kg on clean food. Then i couldnt get anymore weight. I even ate sweets pretty liberally on top of like 4000kcal.

So i started gomad. Im sitting on 92kg rn after 3 weeks and i cut down on clean food by half. No more i want to throw up after each meal and now i actually enjoy eating.

As for estrogens, i wouldnt be concerned. Your body produces estrogen naturally even when you are male, and much more than milk contains. Worse is if you get bad acne or other allergic reaction from dairy. Then its a no go.

>>40431139
I'm 182cm tall and went from like 63kg to 73kg in about a year of trying to bulk up. Will incorporate more milk into my diet then, I am not allergic or have acne or anything

im the one who just hit 3pl8
>Is milk a no-go
hell no. I don't do gomad cos i think that will give you bitch tits but a pint or so can be good as a lil macro cap at the end of the day. Just use myfitnesspal and track your macros on there
I eat a LOT of turkey and chicken. Buy a ton of poultry, make a marinade for it and let it sit so whenever you want some you can just put it in the oven.
I have brown rice with pretty much every meal and broccoli with most of my meals
Turkey sausages/turkey bacon is also a blessing for delicious protein.
And oats every morning
