Did I waste time?

If this makes a difference

I was never athletic, I was a scrawny dweeb growing up.
I couldn't do a push up before I started lifting. I was bullied and made fun of for having to do girl push ups in PE class. One of the reasons I started lifting. I also could barely even bench just the bar. I can now do 80 plus push ups and 20 deadhang pull ups.

No you haven't, my stats are worse due to fuckarounditis over a slightly longer timeframe. Remember there are plenty of people worse than you and as long as you are progressing that's what matters.

>>41978049
You're making progress, time doesn't matter if you achieving your goals.

>Blessed with genetically small waist, 32in
m8 that's average, small is 30 and under

>>41978049
no, you're fine

the guys benching 315 after a year either had athletic backgrounds, or have extremely good genetics for bench/lifting in general

You are beyond like 99% of 18 year olds, how exactly have you wasted time?
It may be possible to get to your stats in a shorter time frame obviously but that doesn't mean most people have the kind of dedication that would take anyways.
Good job OP, you are way ahead of the game.

>>41978049
Yeah you wasted a lot of time those couple of years you were held back

>I always hear and see guys who just lifted for a year and already look like Connor Murphy and bench 3pl8s.

you're retarded

>>41978049
Nah.
My stats are
Lifting at 16, now 18
Bench 245 x1
squat 325 x5
Row 225 x5
Dead 405 x 3
5'10 170lbs

Most of /fit/ are e staters or are fully grown and are naturally able to lift more weight.

Fuck off with your humblebrag uggo.

>Brb not reaching your dream physique in the shortest time possible
>Brb i am gonna rest for 5 min on this bench because i am only 18 fuck you.
>Brb implying that very slow progress is not wasting time.

How is this a humblebrag? Ive been lifting for about 3 years and it took me that fucking long to reach a 245lb bench.
