this song is based and I want to kiss you

>>76360790
I mean no disrespect, but isn't it kind of embarrassing to admit that you need someone else to tell you what to do so you don't get bored? One of my friends even goes into office during his days off. I'm personally not a NEET, but I have quite a bit of control over when and how long I work, and most of the time I don't get to work much because I'm so busy with other personal projects. When I was a kid, my mom always taught me that there is no such thing as boredom, that the world is full of things to observe, learn, create or appreciate. If you're bored, it just means you're not fully engaged and you're waiting for stimulation instead of looking for it, or you're looking for it in the wrong places.

>>76360863
>t. guy with a retarded mom

>>76360890
I think her main motivation was not having to spend time with me when I said I was bored, but realistically, we all have enough to do that we would never be bored, we just don't find it stimulating or “fun” enough, and if we don't combat that, we just end up being lazy consoomers.

Choosing not to drink this weekend. Been a year sober I’m trying to do it again. Trying to turn my life around post break up. I feel very alone, thinking in three years of productivity lens. Just studying for a better job in mean time, cutting out my friends as all they do is party. Deleted Instagram/ Snapchat. Working out daily. Wish me luck boys

Have an interview Monday. Excited and a bit nervous. Trying to get back into the workforce and my last job only lasted a few days before anxiety and Hyper vigilance near broke me. Not giving up or giving in though, I will succeed and grow as an individual!

-Stopped wearing socks
-Only drinking room temp water
-Nothing yellow in my house
-Read backwards every day
-Got rid of my blender and ceramic mugs
-Ketamine
-Only sleep in my office chair

My workout? Upside down for 30 min. Clap hands as hard as possible 1,000 times. Jog 1 mile backwards.

Thanks bro. I am going to do my best and be honest and hope it works.

it's so tricky building healthy habits. Somehow have been even able to do workouts even if they're 'bad', or my mind blanks on my language learning that day. but adding stuff like 'building a skill' even when I'm bored as heck without energy after work, or on the weekend, or to be getting up in the morning to run doesnt seem to be something I'm mkaing time for, or something I can flex into my somewhat lack of schedule(the double edged sides of routine)- don't get me started on dieting haha. Maybe it's a mix of depression because this feeling of listlessness that creeps in is familiar despite trying to shake it off this past month by making slow progress on the aformentioned areas

/fat/ty here I started back in april and current routine is
>dumbell overheadpress
>lateral raises
>lat pulldown machine
>assisted pull ups
>bar rows
>vertical chest press machine
>flying press machine
>standing bar curls
>assisted dips
And
>leg extension
>lying leg curls
>leg press
>squats with bar
>crunch machine
>leg lifts
>planks
>supermans
I do the former twice a week and the latter once a week and I do everything with 3x10-12 sets(I go heavier once I can do a 12 reps on all 3 sets).
Any suggestions what I should add or change out.
I recently added the dips and supermans and switched out seated machine rows for assisted pull ups, but I want to see if I could do more to improve my routine.
I was also thinking of doing full body 3 times a week instead of 1:2 split.
I am also struggling with curls so I wanted to maybe add another exercise to improve that.
6"1 and my goal is to be like 207 lbs with 15% body fat if that helps.
Any suggestions?

>>76374779
>6"1 and my goal is to be like 207 lbs with 15% body fat if that helps.
forget about that you're too short

>I am also struggling with curls so I wanted to maybe add another exercise to improve that.
exercise your patience accessories take longer to progress
unless it's a month with no weight or rep improvement

>>76374819
>forget about that you're too short
I-I see

>exercise your patience accessories take longer to progress
>unless it's a month with no weight or rep improvement
There are some improvements, but they are very minor compared to my other lifts, but if biceps just take a longer to grow stronger I'll just keep grinding away at it.

>>76374885
>I-I see
try 180lbs

2020lbs at 15% is for me at 6'3
actually
you wrote 207 exactly
where does that figure come from?

>There are some improvements, but they are very minor compared to my other lifts,
how much weight do you lift and when was the last time you added some?

>>76374890
>2020lbs
*220
oops

>where does that figure come from?
looking at ffmi it's possible actually
sorry got my numbers mixed up

>>76374890
I had no real goal beyond getting slimmer and gaining more muscles so I just made a fatty brain calc to see how much I need to weigh on a lower end body fat to have a resting tdee of around 2500 which was.
Then I just asked chatgpt if that was realistic goal to set for myself since I didn't know who else to ask.
But I guess it was just wishful thinking.

>how much weight do you lift and when was the last time you added some?
Last month it was 20 and I went to 25 kg around the start of this month/end of last month, but made no real improvements since then outside of maybe 1 extra rep at the end.

>>76374921
>But I guess it was just wishful thinking.
no >>76374894 it's realistic
surprisingly so seeing as it came from AI

>but made no real improvements since then outside of maybe 1 extra rep at the end.
1 rep total or on every set?

>>76374924
1 rep total.

>>76374938
so 10 10 12 reps
for two weeks now?
are you actually pushing hard or are you too tired when you curl? are the biceps tired before you curl?

>>76374924
>surprisingly so seeing as it came from AI
To be fair I just went to a tdee site and tried shit out untill I got 2500 sedentary tdee on a lower end bodyfat and then asked AI if it was a realistic goal to set for myself, but I am sure it could come up with a similiar estimate if I just asked it.

>>76374941
10, 10, 10 as of now
I could do 12×3 with 20, but when I switched to 25 I could only do 8-9
Now it's 10/10/9-10.
What usually happens is that I do 2 sets with 10 reps, but during the last set I will fail the 9th/10th rep and after like 10 seconds of rest I try to push out one last rep.
It doesn't hurt anything I just don't have enough strength left to lift it up.

>>76374959
you've got a few options

drop the weight and do 15 reps on each set
for 2 workouts then replace one set with the heavier weight like so:
do first set with old weight for 12 reps then for the second set go up in weight do as many as you can and then for the third go back to the lower weight and do 12 again
do that for a workout then swap the third set for the higher weight also for a workout
then do all 3 with the higher weight
might be overkill but it really should work

you're a beginner so I doubt a deload will help

you could also try pushing past failure with cheat reps or pausing at the end and trying to do another rep like you described

also if >>76374779 exactly describes your exercise sequence then you've gotta change it

>>76374972
>exactly describes your exercise sequence then you've gotta change it
That's the exact routine I follow everytime I go to the gym.
Only thing I failed to mention is that I start with 10 min incline walking and end with 20 minutes on the cross trainer

Have you gone outside today yet anons? Vitamin D is important for maintaining testosterone levels, and other bodily functions

Any success stories of starting to lift at around 24? Need motivation brahs

>>76377678
Be your own success story. Be the one people talk about.

>>76377678
You're in your early 20s dude, just get started and give it your best, the best time to start is now. There are many people decades older than you starting up. Make the best of the time you have.

i think i've finally settled in on a good routine
>enjoy strength training
>enjoy running
>still want to be golden ratio aesthetics wise
Basically i want to be a marathon runner but look like a greek god, i've just had to accept i can still achieve these ideal ratios but the big number say a 16 inch bicep probably will be a 15 inch bicep but i can still have good ratios. I've just found endurance to be far more useful for me and strength never does much to help me, so i mainly train with weights for aesthetics and focus on endurance. It took a lot of soul searching to basically forego all my training, but i feel more at peace which helps stress and simpler goals means i can do more hobbies such as golf and guitar for instance.i also enjoy hiking which isn't really a hobby but alas

>hit 4pl8 bench last week after years of lifting
>want to tell my friends, but always feels like I'm bragging/fishing for compliments
>meanwhile they post their runs on Strava and give eachother kudos and talk about it
I wish there was a Strava-esque app but weightlifting. I don't lift for approval, but it'd be nice to share my achievements with others for that extra motivation

>>76378440
A 4pl8 bench is mad impressive, congrats! What routine did you use? Got any tips for going from 2pl8 to 3pl8?

>>76365849
Welcome back :)

>>76383019
it does. it helped me get lean enough to see my abs pretty visibly. it's kind of annoying that the most basic activity was the one with most benefits

Does anyone have a gym program that'll get me from dyel tier to looking at least half decent. 6 or 5 days is fine. Anything fool proof. For reference, right now I can bench more than 2 plates but my other lifts are pretty trash.

>>76368841
That’s good advice

>doing my grind
>think about how I will have to keep doing this for years upon years
>begin to feel despair
I don't know how to surpass myself in this instance. Whenever I've been working towards a goal for a reasonably long period, like 10 weeks or so, I begin to deel despair at the prospect of spending so much continuing to spend so much time.
Maybe because a part of me fears that no matter how much work I put in, I will never be the impressive person I dream of as my ideal self.

>>76383416
6 days is not fine it's too much for natties

also you say you bench 2 plates but also that you are dyel?

>>76383019
It's helping me.

The time is passing either way. You’re either getting closer to what you want to be or you’re not. On some level you understand this, or you wouldn’t start, or strive at all. There aren’t any magic words to make you do what you know you need to do. It will always be a choice that you have to make.

>>76384491
I'm currently reading Atomic Habits and it's been a few chapters since I read that part so I can't accurately recall it but the author argues against being motivated by goals. I think the argument is that if you fail to meet them or make little progress towards them then you will feel unmotivated, and if you meet them then you have a 'now what' moment and lose steam. What you should instead do is to fall in love with the system. There is nothing wrong with having long-term goals like "I want to live in a house by age 30" or "I want to bench 225 for reps" but the methods (system) you use to get there shouldn't be considered an awful grind that you have to endure, you should enjoy it.

Can I get routine critique? Idgaf about chest or calves, care more about jooced booty. 3x a week. i been seeing progress for the last few months but newbie gains ig

Day A: hip thrust, lat pulldown, reverse pec deck, cable lat raise, abductors, oh tricep, bayesian curls, machine abs

Day B: rdl, pull ups, seated row, hyperextensions, shoulder press, leg extensions, tricep pd, machine abs

>>76369551
Good luck bro

>>76385099
That’s actually really good advice. There’s something important about learning to love the process

>>76383019
its a very easy way to burn extra calories it can be hard to fit enough enough protein and fat in your diet on a low deficit. Walking 10k steps adds an extra 400 calories with little to no risk of injury. its basically the minimum though you can do whatever you want ride a bike, swim its just the bare minimum. Like your weight lifting burns 400 calories and your run probably burns more, you should probably track these numbers calculate how much protein and fat you need and how many carbs you think you need and you'll find you probably need to burn like 500 calories a day to fit those macros in

>>76384648

Man, I'm so fucking stressed from my job I'm becoming physically weak and sick.
Like, I can't sleep properly, I can't take any leaves because there's too much work, I'm constantly away from home...

I've often heard the phrase:
>You're not a tree rooted to the ground

>would love to start a family someday but have no dating/love life
>Don't know how to talk to girls
>spent decades trying to fix that unsuccessfully

So, like, would getting all muscley actually help, or what? Anyone lift their way out of loneliness?

>>76386271
You get treated completely differently if you're attractive. Unless you're really genetically unlucky, if you're fit, you'll have a much easier time with women. You'll also feel better and generally be in a better position to have the family you want so much. Focus on yourself first.

>>76357800 (OP)

>>76386299
>Focus on yourself first.

Well that's what I mean by just horny, trying to be honest. I'm 44 and I've been thinking deeply and honestly a lot lately about what I want in life and it's pretty much just pussy at this point.

I had a big breakdown at the end of high school, I missed all the good things about high school and I was never going to get to do them, ever and it kind of broke me. I was being railroaded into college but was just completely unwilling to do so until I was well enough to have fun there, and that was over 20 years ago. I've had dozens of people try and make me want it less, but it never does and I start to feel like they're feminists trying to fight my toxic masculinity or something instead of actually help.

Not disagreeing with you, really, just trying to explain how I feel about focusing on myself. Until I get this problem sorted there isn't really anything my self WANTS. Like who cares if I make a lot of money or I live a few years longer if I'm in agony?

Thanks for the answer. I'm going to give it another try. I got in shape ages ago and it really didn't help because I had no idea how to be social with girls even when I can tell they DO like me, which is frustrating.

>>76386388

It's important to recognize when you've done well.

Tuesday and wednesday I messed up getting up early for two different resons both of which were my fault.
Now I could've spend the last two days and today beating myself up over that OR I could recognize what I've done wrong and fix it.

Which I have done, I awoke at 8:30 and got up 5 minutes later, then I realised that I should recognize and point out that I did what I wanted to do and that I've achieved success in this thing.

It's easy to dwell on your mistakes and failures but unless you learn from them and fix them next time you're just wasting your time.
It's hard to be positive and feel good about successes small and big but it's always worth it.

>>76364665

>>76388020
Good one anon. It's also important to have that perspective if you're going to the gym, have study goals, job goals, etc. What's most important of all is consistency but not perfection. Did you miss monday? Don't beat yourself up, make sure to show up for yourself the next day regardless. A new day is a new opportunity to do it right.

>>76388494

>What's most important of all is consistency but not perfection.
There's a saying that goes: perfect is the enemy of good and I very much agree
I'd go further and say that perfectionism is/can be the enemy of success
wiht that said never striving for perfection isn't good either

You really have to know what things are worth your effort and not let slip ups stop you from achieving your goals.

>>76384583
>also you say you bench 2 plates but also that you are dye
Yes. It's because I couldn't squat for a while so I just focused on getting my bench up. Now I just have tiny legs and a weak back and an okay bench (255). I'm 6 ft 170~ lbs so maybe it's a weight issue but I don't really know. I'm doing a PPL routine now but don't really like it which is why I'm asking for recommendations here

Just fucking take your leave.

Your company will either do fine(illustrating your neurosis is unfounded) or flounder, in which case they deserve to fail based on free market principles, since your bosses didn't plan the biz well enough for an employee to take his leave for recovery

You don't live for your boss, you wage for your boss, and live for yourself. Unless you're being paid ridiculous amounts of OT which justifies risking your health for work, you're a retarded goyim cattle faggot.

Best of luck

always have your headlights on

if you can stop before the other car hits you its their fault

the rearview mirror is your past and should not be considered, focus on where youre going and stay alert

drive slow and move over for those who need to rush

>>76379081
wear your seatbelt
dont drink or drug drive
lock your doors
keep your front windows down
dont leave expensive items in the car
check your tyre pressure and oil and coolant levels weekly
dont buy ethanol fuel

I've been doing NoFap NoPorn and I think it's going to stick this time. I've tried it innumerable times in the past and it's never worked beyond two to three weeks. I've always wondered how I can want to quit so desperately in my logical, rational mind and end up relapsing regardless. I just got done reading the **sy ***sy **thod hackbook (try sending a post with its full name and you'll see how deep the rabbit hole goes) and I believe it's cured me.
I've always thought of the addiction as "I like looking at naked ladies and anime babes too much and just CAN'T STOP!" The real addiction is that your lizard brain is addicted to the chemicals triggered by the supernormal stimulus of pornography, and will lie to your logical mind however it has to in order to trick you into continuing to get it high. Whenever you decide to quit porn your junkie lizard brain immediately starts whispering the illusion that it'll be difficult to stop.
The central idea of the book is to internalize that you're giving up nothing and sacrificing nothing. It's only difficult because your addict lizard brain is telling you it is, as soon as you dispel this illusion it has no weapons. There are no withdrawals in the way we commonly think of them. The "withdrawals" is your lizard brain lying to your rational mind that you need porn to relax, or to make sure your dick works and you're still straight etc etc. If you ignore its lies your junkie lizard brain will heal.
It's just like in The Matrix, "there is no spoon." It's not until Neo believes the video game world is an illusion that he gains power over it.

we all gonna make out

how do you balance wanting to improve yourself while not falling into self-hatred? Like I want to get better at stuff and fix my flaws, but I also don't want to constantly hate myself for not being there yet. How do you accept where you are now while still pushing to level up? Any of you figure out how to do self-improvement without the constant self-loathing?

I learned to drive at 30. Start small, just driving in a parking lot. Go to a quiet rural area and drive around. Then drive around in town, then get on the freeway. Some tips are if you start feeling nervous or uncertain you can always go slower and take your time. You WILL make stupid mistakes, just use them as a lesson learned and move on. Even if you do really stupid shit, other people generally will be paying attention enough to avoid a collision, but don't always bet on it. Do your best to spot and avoid reckless driving in others and don't let your emotions get ahold of you if someone cuts you off or is tailgating or some shit. But yeah just go out there and do it, your skills will improve over time.

Damn, I get censoring certain phrases like söy because people mostly just shitpost with it, but censoring that seems outright malicious. Granted, we've known the jannies have been malicious since the big hack back in April.

Man I leaned to drive at 26, which was 7 years ago. And I haven’t gotten behind the wheel of a car since. I’ve literally never driven a car on my own and only driven one like 5 times period. The biggest mistake was not having a car when I got the license. I got the license then didn’t want to go through the shit of buying a car so I just never did. And I’m still regularly scared when I’m in a car. I drove with a few people I know a few times this past month to some activities we were doing together, and the guy driving at 80+ mph on the freeway scared the shit out of me. And we were also in a winding mountain round and he was driving with one hand

I haven't used facebook in like 10 years and i'm a normie now. no one uses that shit except marketplace seems pretty popular now but I've never looked into it

>>76390497
Facebook marketplace is just better craigslist and the only reason I haven't outright deleted my account. I never check the actual website.

as a new /fit/ lurker, what would "making it" entail? it seems like this is an founding meme/term on this board, and I think zyzz said it or whatever, but I still don't know how I'd know if I made it or not.

>>76376275
Age?

>>76392333
I think everyone has different definitions of making it. For me, it’s being strong and having a happy wife and kids

I'm a fat fuck who gets a decent amount of attention from girls. Lemme explain what I've learned:

Girls don't see aesthetics the way men do. It's not about the size of the muscle, it's about how the muscle gets used. The short version is that posture matters, so engage your lats and puff up your chest. Keep your hips straight and your lower back neutral. No slouching or leaning back. The long version is that different muscles carry with them different feelings, and this plays into your proprioception. The more you can imagine how you can move through a space, the better. Essentially, girls don't have any understanding of physical space or spatial reasoning, so instead they watch how men react to their surroundings to get a feel for what's going on. Think of them like dogs watching their masters while taking a shit: They need you to signal that everything's OK for them to feel comfortable being vulnerable.

Personality is another big signal for this kind of thing because if you feel comfortable enough to open up, then so will they. If you're clamming up, they're going to wonder what's wrong. This is why a small guy feeling uncomfortable can actually have more success with girls than a big guy feeling uncomfortable: If the strongest man in the room is scared, then something is definitely wrong. However, personality in words is insufficient. Your body language is the biggest expression of your personality, which is the problem fat guys usually run into: If you're a tubster like me, then odds are the fat is dampening your body language so much no one can read it. You need to be strong enough and willful enough to push through the dampening if you want girls to pay attention to you. The basis of your body language is your legs. Girls won't 'mire your legs like your arms, but they will absolutely notice your legs are weak in your body language. Best starting advice for tubsters who wanna date is to walk a lot and do squats.

Thanks for the advice

when you achieve your goals you will make it
when you are happy with your life you will make it

>because if you feel comfortable enough to open up, then so will they
if you think about opening up to a woman - DON'T

>Best starting advice for tubsters who wanna date is to walk a lot and do squats.
best advice for them is to lose the weight
