Why don't you start?
I signed up a month ago and been only to the gym 4 times. Could use some motivation myself.

>>41279286

Sure, friend.

>was always the skinny kid in high school
>used to get picked on, especially by my older brother
>he takes me to the gym a few times, but I never really stay with it
>first year of university now
>see a lot of jacked guys and finally decide to put my bitching aside and go to the gym
>lifting for 4 years now
>my brother complimented me on my physique a week ago for the first time

I started off lifting to not be skinny and to win the respect of my brother, but I'm going to continue lifting to grow stronger and perhaps one day help that skinny kid who timidly walks into the gym for the first time.

>>41279261
My first child came last week, so now I have the motivation to become the strongest dad at his school.

And make the other dads feel insecure about themselves because their wife's want me instead.

i've been liftan for only 4 months now but i can see this becoming an addiction. thanks for the sticky and showing me the light, brehs.

im a failed chad and I can safely say I could never be with a stacy, I have no idea why youre all so hung up on them. Ive caught the edge of some of it and here is what I can tell you

>horribly obnoxious drunks and they get drunk at least once a week so you can expect a lot of that
>lots of cheating, stacy lives in the moment with no foresight and has a "whats passed is passed" and "live in the moment" mentality
>generally boring. often just talks about others, TV, and the weekend escapades. doesnt like to try anything that could be considered weird in any way
>sex isnt good because they have 0 sexual frustration

actually come to think of it this describes at least half of women not just stacy

>>41279340
Very nice.
My reasoning is me going Bald which is a bit insecure but I'm lifting. Hoping to visit the gym at least 10 times each month.

>>41279375

try biotin, if they sell that shit in your country. helps a ton.
don't blowdry your hair, don't use shampoos with silicone, no conditioners, no fancy bullshit. wash your hair daily if possible, don't use water that's too hot. brush your hair at least twice a day gently(buy a boar brush if necessary).

>tfw I now walk around my house without a shirt on not fearful of having the blinds completely closed like some sort of MLP masturbation furnace fearful of what people think of my body

It's strange, my summer cut has created some definition and my minor 8 months of lifting with shitty dumbells at home has got me some good results. I feel..... I feel like I'm making it. Fuck. I want to ride this feel train till I die.

>>41279261
I used to be quite unhappy with how my body looked. I was very insecure about my puffy looking face, my acne, my hairy back, bad posture and supposedly wide hips.

Puffy face and wide hips, turned out to be due to being around 25% bf ever since high school. I've been hovering around 13-16% and am way happier about how I look.

Acne was cured with accutane. I still have some deep scars that need some healing but everything in time.

Could convince my bro to remove my back hair with an epilator every 2 weeks, so that's cool. Planning on getting laser hair removal, but my dermatologist suggest to wait at least 3 months after finishing my accutane medication before starting LHR.

Lifting and Deadlifts and face pulls in particular fixed my posture and I've received occasional compliments on looking big after just a year of lifting and despite being on a cut for 3-4 months during this period.

I'm gaining wait slowly and improving my lifts and I'll be studying to get a bachelors degree in economics starting September. Everything's improved since I started lifting and paid attention to my nutrition.

I defeated anorexia for the most part and am now going to gym every other day since April 2, already seeing some improvement + ability to enjoy food without feeling bad (just struggling with getting enough, I still overestimate things out of habit...)

As a short 157 cm (5.2 in retard units I think) chick, there's nothing more magical than feeling like I could actually defend myself when needed

>this sounds real lame dude

never wanted to make your dad proud? it is pretty much the same thing, if you have a really cool brother.

>>41280217
careful. unless your gf is very secure with your situation, she'll eventually resent the fact that you aren't "providing" for her. Even if she's 200% set for life in her trust fund, the average girl gets it in her head that she still needs a man that will spend his money on her.

Then, when you breakup, you have 0 family and friends to fall back on. any friendships developed that involve your girlfriend will 99% default to her side, and there's usually no sharing friends when a breakup happens.
Seek some independence from her before it uproots your entire life.

I have a female friend now.

She's super petty and kind of a mess. I've decided I'm going to get her to go to the gym with me and improve both our lives.

I make her work out. She teaches me how to cook. I think its a good deal.

I still don't like hearing about her hookups though

>>41279894
I know your struggle... feels good doesn't it?? Keep it up, bro!

>>41282501
Sounds like you're getting whored for attention. Absolutely not a problem if you don't mind it though

>>41282590
She made it very clear I was, but I don't mind as there is no real reason to care.

I'm gonna keep looking for a qt.g. but if I can help her and help myself in the process why not.

If she ever does something to truly piss me off I'll probably just drop contact, as cruel as it sounds I come first in my life. Most women are basic.

I'm looking for the small handful that have more to offer in this world

>>41282501
why do you care about hearing about her hook ups? just listen to her talk about them like you would listen to a male friend talk about them. everyone here will tell you its beta but honestly it will just make you seem like someone who respects her as a person and she'll probably say good things about you to her friends.

also even if you hate it and feel beta etc. its worth it if she can legit teach you how to cook. one of the best skills to have in general, more so if you're gettin fit

>>41279340

I fucking love those guys who are helpful enough to approach me and say something when I do something wrong. My 3rd visit was yesterday and a guy gave me some tips on loading weight. Good thing I was using light weights or I would've made the bar fly off the rack by leaving 50lbs on one side.

>fucked girl off of tinder after being gymcel for two years

iktf bro, the number I've come to is fewer than the fingers on one hand. Don't forget though, that could change at a moments notice.

I reacall the 26 years of treating them "equally" (when in reality I was supplicating to the pussy and sacrificing my balls to the alter of stronk-wyming), it doesn't work. Never has. Remember equality and equity to them is repression., working hard for something is sexism, and expecting and treating them like complete individuals who can have benefits that must be weighed out by responsibility, why that to them is plain old misogyny.

Why did you do that

I need someone to believe in me, /fit/. I just submitted this application for an entry level job at a screen printing company to try to get out of the restaurant industry. Been out of a job since February. Haven't been to the gym since last May or June, partly due to moving, partly due to getting a gf and falling for the "loves me the way I am" meme (which isn't a meme, unless its interfering with your lifts), and just flat out being lazy. I want to make it, bros. If I don't land a job by the end of this month then I'm gonna be back in the fucking restaurant business again. Every time I think about that, I think, "well when the money runs out, I can just kill myself." I really do not want to go back to restaurants but I can't make these people hire me. I just want something to go right in my shitty life. I feel so defeated. I want to make comic books and have a pretty good idea for a story but I can't do that for a living. I need cash in the meantime to help achieve my dreams. idk, I'm rambling. I need a hug or a drink or something.

I'm a Brad. Brads are pre-Chads or failed Chads - not all Brads evolve into Chads. Also, not all Chads come from Brads - pureblooded Chads are born that way, unlike demi-Chads (such as Brads, Chases, Kyles, Trents, etc) who have to grow and fight to become Chads.

Demi-Chads that grow up wealthy have a greater than 85% likelihood of becoming full Chads.

The female version of the Brad is the Amber. Ambers, along with Kylies, Stephanies, Ashleys and Emilies, are all demi-Staceys.

All this talk about older brothers and motivation got me wanting to share my story and experience aswell. My older brother was 10 years older then me. So in short he was living in a totally different world from me. He was everything to me and he was the ultimate cool dude in my eyes. A beast on skateboard cool clothes and cool music. Always had pretty girls over. He took care of me and loved me and I wanted to be just like him. He was also really fit. He had all the potential in the world to be great. The only problem was that he get heavy into drugs. I was 16 and he was 26 when he started heroin and I saw him fade away before my eyes. He became skinny and got bad skin. He died from an overdose when he was 27. Now I want to become the man he never could. I'll make it up and I'll show my father that he did good with us. Every time I work out I think about my brother. Now I'm 27 myself and I'm cab proudly say that doing great for myself even tho I went kinda into drugs myself some years after I lost him. Almost done with uni and I'm shredded for summer. We all gonna make it bros

>>been cutting off friends more and more and don't exactly know why

That feel.

As someone who cut off all their friends its either because:
>theyre all dopes or unhealthy drinkers or druggies.
>you want to feel sorry for yourself and subconsciously want others to as well so you isolate yourself in the hopes that Someone may pity you.
>You resent most everything you've ever said or done. Being around people forces you to talk and create more cringy memories. The lonliness must hurt less than the cringe, right?
>Friends are just too much work in general and you'd rather spend your time introverted. Resting

Try and hook up with a friend of hers it will force her to think about how she see you as well as what she will do moving forward.

I would rather try and make it then never try because "nothing matters"

You know what, it probably doesn't. But it matters to me, to my life and to my mental state. I would rather take the chances and be happy with life than give into nihilism like I once did.

There is two outcomes here.
1. Nothing matters = if you do lift and you do everything right to still have wasted nothing.

2. Things might matter = You have put time and effort into improving yourself and the people around you, leaving a small but lasting impact.

I chose the second.
Life is great, improve yourself anon.

This ffmi thing wasn't talked about if it was even a thing when I was last active on here so I don't know anything about it. However, the numbers I gave you are legit, if you want a better resolution, I think I started it all in early-mid July and started eating more and lifting heavy in late-November. Regardless, the numbers are accurate, get mad over it or accept it and try to push yourself more if youre not getting the results you want.

What the hell guys.

As a kid I wasn't really forced into anything; I dabbled in pretty much everything as a result. Books at a level consistently beyond my age due to learning to read very early. Sports (hockey, soccer, basketball) and cross-country, with cadets later as sources of physical activity. All this while playing tons of video games all through my life. Only once in my life did I not get any exercise, for about a year during my teens, and that in itself motivated me to go to the gym.

Encourage your children to dabble in many things. You can't raise a superstar football player, but you can raise a well-rounded and quick-learning child by providing them with a varied lifestyle. There is nothing a kid (or most people of any age) likes about doing one thing over and over again. Seeing their friends grow up with video games and playing them over at their houses, only to come home to being denied them will only serve to make video games an attractive "novelty" in their eyes, leading to potential obsession at a later age.

It's like how families in areas of Europe will let their kids try alcohol at younger ages. Remove the taboo aspect of the action, and it suddenly becomes less enticing.

>there's nothing more magical than feeling like I could actually defend myself when needed

What is the reason for this mentality, It's especially prevalent in chicks but it does branch out into guys who do go to the gym, but in a lesser sense. You're 157cm and a past anorexic, if a guy was to attack you he would have a good 20cm on you and probably a good 20 kilos. You're not winning that fight or even defending yourself, sorry, but it's true.

It's my birthday today and my mom posted a picture she took this morning of me looking particularly fat on facebook. Also only three people outside of my parents have told me Happy Birthday today.

That might not seem like a good feel, but this incident has made me even more determined. Starting two days ago I've been eating and feeling better, so maybe I won't look like such a fat cunt when the play I'm in happens a few weeks from now.

I've been lifting for a while now, but my nutrition has always been shit, and I fell for the dirty bulking meme. If I can teach myself discipline and do better for myself, then I know all of you anons can too.

We're all gonna fucking make it, I believe in myself and all of you sick cunts.

A note to my past self: Don't slack on the comic thing, or people will lose interest. After you get done with that first issue and get to work on the second one, STICK WITH IT. You'll say "I'll get to it eventually" but once you get that comfy job (it'll happen, remember that I'm future you), you'll feel like you don't have the time for it. JUST FUCKING DO IT.

Also watch out, she's gonna break up with you right before you get that comfy job, leaving you chubby and alone.

Me again. Thanks for the encouragement everybody. I'm feeling better today. I talked my mom into joining a gym with me so I could get a dirt cheap discount ($75 upfront for a year, but my mom is gonna let me pay her back $6.25 per month since I'm still unemployed). About to go lift the feels away and do something about my excess weight I've gained in my year long absence.

Waiting on the good times here, at least it feels good to see others make it.

Maybe it's just the no fap and no gf combo making me feel shitty today.

>>41279261
It's funny; I took a week off from the gym because I thought I wasn't getting anywhere. But during that week off, I felt like shit and it made me realize that it's one of the few things that's holding my life together. It's going to sound cheesy as hell/trite, but I'd rather feel like the gym is a chore and grind through than return to that feeling of helplessness.

My biggest gains have been self respect and self compassion as I've always loathed and hated myself, I don't love myself yet but because of my discipline I respect myself. Good luck to others out there.

I went to the gym for the first time since graduating high school today. I'm 21 so its been about 3 years. I overdid it a little bit and started feeling sick but now I feel great.

After day 1 my ORMs are:
>Bench: 185lbs
>Incline bench: 125lbs
>OHP: 85lbs
>Squat: 215lbs(I work construction so I didn't do as many as I could on squats, need to develop some DOMS resistance first)

I also did some shoulder flies, tricep dips and ez curls. I was too embarrassed for deadlifts but I'll do them next time. I felt stupid trying to remember all the lifts I used to do. Also felt stupid because I used to be king of the weight room in HS now DYEL and old men are putting up more weight than me. I'll catch up in a few months though. Idk it just feels really really good to be back. I was obsessed with /fit/ and lifting in high school but once I graduated I was too busy trying to find work to help support my sickly mother to get a gym membership, got addicted to anime and video games too.

Now I'm just afraid that hitting the gym after work is going to be a cram packed pain in the ass. Anyway, I'm feeling happy as a clam and I hope you are all having a fantastic day as well. We're all gonna make it.

No, because I'm a pretty big guy and have played sports most of my life. And I work construction lifting heavy shit every day so its not like I'm totally out of shape. Chances are you look a HELL of a lot better than my fat hairy ass so don't feel bad about it. We're all gonna make it.

after two years you have an 85 pound ohp???

>>41304224
i mean, if you can then yea, you should definitely shoot for 8 or so.

>>41304192
Also in those 3 years I didn't lift there were tons of scrawny kids I used to spot who look aesthetic as fuck now. Shit, there were kids who didn't even lift in high school, they only started in college, and they look better/are stronger than me too. Never give up, that Chad at the gym could be an alcoholic with a beer belly 10 years down the line because he gave up.

Not entirely true. When kids read a lot during periods of early mental development, it stimulates their brains and fosters greater intellectual growth as they continue to age. So encouraging your young child to see reading as a hobby (and not a chore), you can - perhaps not guarantee - but stack the cards in favor of he or she having stronger intelligence.
