Ok be honest, how many of you lift and it didn't help a

>>39017540
if you get to the point where you're literally shredded you never had any depression to begin with

>>39017540
I lifted 3 and often 4 times a week for years and I never got shredded because I'm poor and apparently low T as well. I got some definition. Didn't help with my mood. Mostly just wanted to be physically intimidating andyway

I used to lift in that sort of "coping by cutting yourself" kind of way, where focusing on the physical pain takes your mind off of the emotional pain. Hours in the garage either pumping iron or running on a treadmill at a time, every single day for a little over two months. So, I don't count as the kind of person you're describing, but at least I can say it helped me relatively. The only thing keeping me down on terms of depression is living with myself knowing what I've done in the past and how people have betrayed me. I eventually stopped exercising because of leukaemia, and ironically, went to smoking ground up cramp pain-killers to numb the pain. I ended up quitting that just because it's retarded a couple months ago. Now I'm just, I dunno, here.

2 years into lifting and 1 month into roiding
it's made literally no difference, if anything it's made it worse and given me body dysmorphia

I did for four years in college because the gym was right by where I lived and I had no friends and nothing else to do besides go to my classes.

It didn't improve my social life because I was still just too cowardly to be any more outgoing even when there was extra attention paid to me (which there was). My biggest flaw is my personality. I know what I am supposed to fix in my mind but I just can't. When a girl would compliment me for example, I would just say thank you and nod and walk away. Or one time when a girl stopped me on campus and asked if she could take my picture, but I needed to get to class so I said "Sorry I am late for class" and sped on by. Then I got to class and there was still 10 minutes left before it started. Stuff like that.

Not ripped but strong fat. Lifted for about 3 years straight and on and off for about 5 years. I have elite lifts on the big 3 for my height/weight, but I'm still a socially awkward manlet.

Progress is so slow you don't really notice that you're fit now, you just continue to feel like the same person.

you know you have to get 80-100 grams of protein in you A DAY to just preserve muscle mass, double that to actually start gaining muscle mass...
the thing most people mess up on is the eating part

>>39018296
Yes that was my point. I didn't have enough money for the Chad feast

>>39018313
rice, pork and protein powder isnt really that expensive though

>>39017540
I lifted for 3 years and look pretty okay I have 10 more lbs to lose before I can have a 6 pack I recently got into a car crash so I can't lift for a bit it really did help with depression and I'd lift even when I was ready to blackout from the weight. It's not about getting shredded it's about wanting to push yourself to get out of the shit anon. It applies to a lot of things.

>chad feast

Self defeating circular thinking.
Your brain is actively sustaining your own depression, you must go against it even if it seems illogical or you will remain stuck in that downward spiral where you refuse to start helping yourself until something external does, it won't happen, do something without sabotaging it, even if you can poke holes in it, your miserable, do as we say or shut the fuck up and sustain your misery in silence.

>>39017540
Yes it helped.
I never got randomly approached before I got bearmode swoual. I had my first one night stand, she was a 10/10 body, it was great. Of course I went out too. But I would have never been approxuhed if I hadn't been lifting.
Don't do it for girls though, the results take too long for that to keep your modvatin going.
It helps with your mood too.

>chicken
in europe chicken is either pumped full of water or expensive as fuck though

>>39017540

I have been bodybuilding for 5 and half years and I'm more depressed than before I started.

At this point I'm just waiting to get my puberty gyno surgery and then start injecting testosterone which willl hopefully turn my life around.

>>39018482
no one believes in the tranny meme anymore shill-san, why dont you go play in a rope-swing faggot

after almost 4 years heavy lifting continuously with no breaks and now i started to skip workouts for weeks thinking what's the point.

feels like shit.

>>39018523
Nigger what the fuck I'm not a tranny, I'm a guy with very low testosterone levels, thats why I think that blasting test can turn my life around.

>>39018482
After 5 years you should be at competitive lvl. What did you do Wrong?

>>39018665

The main thing that I did wrong was being born with bad genetics. In bodybuilding genetics are everything, hard work makes a very small difference compared to that.

When I start doing roids then depending on the effects, I will consider competing.

>muh bodybuilding
Such a meme """"sport""""

>>39018465
That doesn't mean shit I was getting my chicken from a shitty Vallarta where the entire store is full of spics and they optionally sell spoiled meat in disguised as seasoned meat. I would get my chicken from the butcher in their shop and it was fine.
