Can we have a positive /fit/ thread? I just had a great pump

I stopped overtucking my elbows (according to this strengtheory article http://www.strengtheory.com/why-you-should-not-tuck-your-elbows-benching/ ) when benching recently and am no longer having elbow pain/tightness, and my bench feels really smooth. Strength seems to be going up (I haven't tested maxes again yet), I should be able to blast through my previous Max within the next few weeks.

Ironically, I was having the opposite problem
Over-flaring my elbows

My shoulders are much happier now and I'm advancing much faster

Good to hear anon. Seems like there's always a careful balance where everything works together well.

Ive lost 20 lbs in the course of a month through strict calorie counting. Still not near my goal weight, but happy regardless.

It's not much but it's a lot more than I weight now

I just had a bro day arm pump session and shit was cash. Feels good to take a break from the everyday strength training routine.

Did you get some good vascularity?
Arm days can really make you feel good when those veins pop

My friend invited me to the beach today. I was wary because he always brings beers and we spend forever there. Today was my workout day and I knew going to the beach would fuck me up.

I went, I dont get out enough anyway. I declined all the beer. We spent 2 hours there, cutting into my normal workout time. If I get there any later than I normally do theres shitloads of people and my gym is small. Fuck. We end it by stopping at a local bar and he orders an appetizer. I have a small piece of it, but thats it, again, no beers. We get home. Im sandy af, I got sunburned on my upper back, and the heat has made me absolutely exhausted. It's an hour past my normal workout time and im starving. Everything in my body says dont go, do it tomorrow.

FUCK THAT. I wiped as much sand as possible off of me, got some aloe vera, and drove down there. I had a great fucking work out, mostly because I felt like shit and I still did my full routine. Fuck all those other people, I didnt give a shit about them. I came back home feeling fucking exhausted, took a shower, heated up some chicken and just chilled the rest of the day.

Eat some good food and that day is 10/10

Finally got back into the gym for the first time in half a year, found I hadn't declined nearly as much as I thought I had. Good feeling - trying to turn around on all my bad behaviors.

>tfw you will be a teenager chad and have a cute teenage girlfriend that you grow up with, you both are 10/10 and could get anyone you wanted but you only need each other and you enter maturity together, get married and have a beautiful family, and even though you have been together all your lives, you just cant get enough of each other, at such point that you both die the same day, and hopefully meet on the other side, leaving your family all you have, and though they are genuinely sad for your deaths, they feel glad they got to share their lives with you and are proud to call you dad
Feels great!
