how can you be so degenerate?

At least he got his shit together

Cocaine

got first symptoms of anxiety, lost a friend (and as a female that's basically losing a significant other)

started watching wrestling and was impressed with physiques, started lifting and bulking

cool story negro
now kill yourself

gf of 8 years broke up "because of me", was with someone else 3 days later

I dated a pure blonde qt, now she's a tattoed vegan. I blame myself for her newfound degeneracy, so it was either lifting or suicide.

The desire for beauty and law of nature

seeing my beer belly grow out of control at the end of the festival season

now i wanna be built like a viking instead of just headbanging to them

Tatted vegan?
Not bad.
My ex became an acid dealer (with acid that I sold her at only 10% markup in exchange for degrading sexual favors) and is now facing getting locked up for 50+ years

I'm gonna make it, Veeky Forums, I know it.

keep it up brah, fuck the haters.

I was always fat as a kid. As I was getting into HS the wrestling team captain told me I should sign up. Probably being nice because she was friends with my bros gf. Either way, she was super hot and I was interested. By the time I'd worked up the courage to ask her out I didn't even care when she turned me down because I was so thankful for my gains. I've been fit ever since.

I was 22 and weighed somewhere between 390-400lbs. I decided that it was time I start making a change before I kill myself. A year later and I'm still fat, but down somewhere between 110-120lbs from where I was. Still have a way to go but life is getting better.

I'm an old fag turning 30 trying to get back into shape.

So this isn't really about how you got fit but more how you thought you were hard when you were 18, then went to jail like a dumbass, oh and happened to work out in there, got it. Great story bro!

what mos? commision or enlisted

I am 23 now and down 55lbs. Still need to lose a lot more, have lost some of my discipline, but I am getting back on track.

Enlisted. 89D EOD.

I'm right at my 6 year mark and about to get out so I can go back and finish college. It's going to be weird as an old dude surrounded by 18-24 year olds.

Fuck.

5'8 so far gone from 117-128 lb. Hadnt seen family in those 9 weeks and just got home and they said i look a little healthier.
Veeky Forums im on my way. In 2 months i might no longer be "underweight" if i can pull up to 140. I just dont want my body to be what im ashamed of.

>Parents are fat

I do cocaine and I own my own house, lift, going back to school for a second degree, and play sports.

God bless cocaine, not our fault this nigga puts his wiggershit energy into lashing out instead of something productive.

>Have umlimited energy in the world and feel great

>Use it to smash windows

I've been slacking recently too. Lost my job and don't have money to buy food, so I'm suck eating whatever I can. Haven't got much exercise either. Luckily I live in he mountains, and have a large network of hiking trails I'm going to start utilizing.

Pic related, I think I made some decent facial gains. Left is from mid dec 15 right is from mid feb 16.

...

fuck your story, who's the semen demon?

When the reps get tough I always think of Rock Lee.

Which is why I am trying to get Veeky Forums again. I know I have it in me. I was all-state in three sports, could run like the wind, had a higher vert than my nigga friends, and always did well in my military fitness tests. I just get down in the dumps and instead of channeling it somewhere positive I just drank and moped. Now I have to crawl back out of the hole I dug, which was a lot easier when I was 24.

Til Valhal, my dude

How the fuck is he "beta"? Lmfao, he's a Salafi. He's basically GUARANTEED four loyal wives. I don't blame him for not touching that Zionist's hand, I wouldn't have either.

You made definite facial gains. Ignore he's just a hater.

Are you muslim or something? Jesus christ. I'm a dirty serb and I would still shake hands with a croat or a bosniak, etc.

Always getting disrespected as a result of being skinny and having a small, weak looking frame.

Women and other guys not taking me seriously with even guys who'd be considered neckbeards and autists being dismissive.

Final straw was a guy who was bigger than me but out of shape shoving me out the way in a bus like I wasn't even there so he could talk to his friend out the window.

That moment there got me to sign a gym contract, google a strength program and now Im here. Not ripped or anything but much stronger 16kg's heavier.

The overt disrespect has stopped, its far more passive now.

same stuff except i don't know what I'm doing in college and I was fat.

Keep at it brah

>High School Athlete in Great Sha...

Stopped right there. God damn Chads who have never known real pain on this fucking board too.

JUST

I broke my body with food and drink,and someone broke the little love for myself i had left.
Self hatred pushed me to get better,and then suddenly it turned into self love again.
I'm down 90 pounds and I will keep pushing myself until I make it.

There are two people i need to prove wrong.

The words she used were "You'll make me cry like that".

Truly,one day I will.

:^)

Kill yourself.

I had to make gains, everyone was so intimidating. Luckily there was only one other person who was 6 feet like me, they were all manlets. I didn't do things correctly until my first year of college. I was just half-assing it. No squatting or deadlifting because no one else did it in the weight room, not even the football players.

Feels good man.
I tried deadlifting today but I failed miserably. I think it's because I'm wearing running shoes that lift me too much, combined with being a manlet and low weights that keep the bar near the ground I wasn't able to lift properly with a straight back.
Needed to squat deep to reach the bar.

Any tips on that? Other than wearing different shoes. I will be wearing chuck all stars next time.

You sound like a cheeky prick m8

And why I started lifting before:
>years ago
>high school gym class
>girls talking who they could beat in a fight
>"haha, well user for sure"

Bitch

You don't need luck mate, you've done it twice you will do it again

If you could go back to highschool, what would you change to avoid graduating as a "nobody"

Just w-wondering.

I was 15. I thought if i had bulging biceps girls would like me.
Hours upon hours in the gym of non stop curls and bench. Its literally all I did. All types of variations and bars for curls. I just wanted big biceps.
Needless to say i didnt get any girls and i dont get any now even though i have a balanced physique.

that's a good question

Doc said the diet had to get clean and I thought why the fuck not go lift again. Been making the young numales at work envious ever since.

Downside is I now get no rest from the wife who always wants to fuck. Going to have lucky number seven born in Sept or Oct.

Play a sport, or be in the school play, or the band, or really just anything other than moping from one class to the next hidden in your Slipknot hoodie.

>6'3 170 pounds

So you went from hamplanet to skelly?

Jesus fuck, STOP BREEDING!

id say a mimnimum of half of cops are just kids that were bullied dude

gj op

Viking metal is trash but I respect the hustle

Nice try kike. I'm just making up for all the stupid goyim you've convinced to become pansexual freaks.

>>still kv but now i dont care so much, when it happens it happens

This is a really good attitude and I wish more kiddos on this board would understand that.

You're gonna make it.

Fuck yeah, live that dream brother! I got in shape in my later 20s and plan on having as many kids as possible. Anyone who lifts and doesn't leave the earth populated with at least half a dozen new Veeky Forumszen is a failure in my mind.

desu it is amazing

>170
>skelly

That weight is pretty fucking average, small sized ottermode. I'm 180 and 6'3" and you can't see a bone outside of my knees

It's a pretty good time


Adderall is better imo

Maybe kill yourself?

That's the shit right there.

Also lifting for Viking glory

I think I hit rock bottom and got sick of my shit life, it was either fix it or kill myself.

I am.

Pull sumo instead of conventional my good man. My guess is you have longer legs and shorter torso and/or arms.

Show us some video, can't help if we don't know what your form looks like.

Maybe kill yourself?

nice progress bro, keep it up

Why don't you just pay for it?

So i now lift for MYSELF

Courage Wolf was the thing that got me going.

Dated a girl in the Chinese military, when I lived in China.

She had to go for runs with AK 47s and shit. She was actually way too skinny, but I was out of shape. Classic Chinese skinny fat, no sports besides badminton, no gyms in the area, and ate lots of Chink shit (I'm white).

We broke up and I felt shallow and decided she left because she was into buff guys and I wasn't buff (in retrospect that was probably a very small or irrelevant factor).

I had no idea how to get into shape. Did yoga for a couple months, which I like and still think I should do and did help my shape, but yeah it was all bodyweight. Eventually came across somethingawful exercise forums, I got into powerlifting after that and ate more protein and that was just a huge step up in looks and strength and awesomeness.

Sorry to hear the bullshit, but I'm kind of jealous about the hiking trails.
You can do it, man. Hang in there. We are all gonna make it.

>285 bench, 265 power clean, 400 squat,
> high school

either your a fat fuck or a freak of nature.

I wasn't even the strongest dude in my class. I did those numbers when I was 17 at 6'0'' and probably 185 lbs. I was kind of a freak though. All I did was go to class and work out twice a day. Three times on occasion. I was a three sport athlete and stated ranked in all of them. Football season I had morning practice occasionally, then weightlifting for one period and regular practice after school. Wrestling I still had weightlifting last period, and then a grueling 3-4 hour practice after school. Then for track I STILL had a weightlifting period and then practice after school (I was a sprinter). Looking back on it I really never had free time. My weekdays were packed from 7:30am until 6:00pm and then I competed on the weekends and recovered on Sunday. Huh...man, I was a fucking sperg.
