The year is almost over

This.

In the last year I've gotten with numerous qt's that never would have even realised my existence before I started lifting. In a sense I like to think that I "made it", but I'm still incredibly insecure about a lot of things and consider killing myself on the daily .. so I guess all I can do is try to get bigger and wait for the sauna to do its job.

No.

Made some progress though.

>was 300#
>dropped to 209#
>at 235# atm
>still cutting
>squat is at 245#
>diddly at 315#
>bench at 185#
If I keep the same discipline I had all this year into 2017 then I can see myself making it. I'm sure if I do make it I'll find little shit to nitpick at and be unhappy with my body once again.

The only progress I've made is some strength and fat, honestly, but I'm absolutely dyel. My health issues force a lot of inactive time on me, so every time I can go back to the gym, I have to spend a few weeks building strength back up.

I've gotten stronger in this time, but my stats are garbage. These are my PRs

>bodyweight: 120 -> 145
>bench progress: 45 -> 120
>squat: 75 -> 185
>dl: 90 -> 240
>ohp: 30 -> 90

I mean, Kinda.

I got with a married Asian chick in her late 30s this past winter/spring

She was cute but was depressed with borderline personality disorder.

Gave me a fantastic Valentine's Day at least.

I know we didn't really care about each other, there couldn't have been anyway since we had almost nothing in common. we were just in love with feeling like we were in love.

For the past week I've been having and completing a to-do list every day. I've accomplished more than ever before. If I keep this up for the entire next year, I can't even imagine how productive a year it will be. I'm already starting to wonder how I ever lived without a schedule and to-do list.

nobody makes it, it's a meme

It's better to struggle against inadequacy that to wallow in it
It is better, far better to rage against the dying of the light

lost my virginity, hit 1/2/3/4. i guess its been a good year.

Graduated, started a good job, lost a decent amount of weight while increasing my lifts. Relationship with gf is now long-distance because of my new job though, not too happy with that.

Next year I will cut down to my goal weight and start a slow bulk. Gonna make it, bros.

only zyzz ever made it.

I don't think I have made it fully yet but I made some damn good pregress

>got gf
>made some good friends (had none before)
>doing well in uni
>have internship lined up
>got a part time job earning 30 bucks an hour

Still not j00cy though, but that will come in good time

I've gotten stronger, started making some money (bank account from $800 to $13000), gotten better at making eye contact, but other than that still as empty and sad as always.
It's been close to two years since I started lifting, and while technically my life has improved in several ways, I don't feel it. I still have too many issues that cancel out any positive life gains.

Yeah, got my dick sucked this year

Last week I found this image on my laptop. Shit didn't go as planned.

making progress.

the more fit i get, the more i realize that girls are empty and shallow. that in turn has lead me to ignore them completely in favour of further progress.

if this realization is making it, then i am progressing well.

I realized I made it when I found that making it was a journey, not a destination.

Daaaammmmm

I made it almost. Thank you fit

She's got some great dick-suckin' lips

Haven't made it yet. You know what they say, the day you start lifting is the day you'll never be good enough.

Lost my virginity, fucked a couple different girls and got a gf who loves me and my muscles even though I'm barely out of dyel stage. Lifts are still slowly going up and I'm enjoying where I work.

I'm not where I thought "making it" was, but I'm super fucking content right now.

Nice, how did you lose your virginity?
Also , is it really that easy to transition to regularly getting laid once you've gotten over that hurdle? (provided you've already stopped being an autist otherwise)

About fifty pounds of fat down, probably ten or so pounds of muscle up.

This year I started to make it, I didn't expect to be done in under a year so yeah, I "didn't make it" but I'm on my fucking way at last and loving it.

>lost 200lbs, 350 to 200
>joined the navy
>still a fat fuck and progress has completely fucking stalled because I'm not allowed to use a stove here
>which means I can't cook my own meals
>which means I have to completely guess at counting calories at the galley

I'm getting there. Hoping that my next duty station will treat me like an adult and give me a fucking kitchen to use.

I made it in every metric aside from fitness.

Got a house, got a wife, got a prestigious job, got video games.

Unfortunately I'm also an overweight alcoholic.

So... I guess I semi made it?

>I made it in every metric except for the one that really matters

o i am laffin

Well, got a gf, trying to grow up and have serious relationships.

Lifts are going well, education is coming along, work is cool.
But I am a retard in relationships so yeah, never going to make it.

Making it is a state of being, not a thing that one ticks off of a list.

Dude hope u realize how important i am. Let's just say... Mayor
;-)

I've made it further than ever, but that doesn't mean I'm done.

>lost 200lbs
>350 to 200
>200lbs
>350 to 200

It saddens me that people like you can join our armed forces

Got an 86 on my asvab, studying to be a CTN.

It's 7 in the morning and I just woke up, eat a dick.

>Got a raise so now I make real money
>Got an apartment with my girlfriend
>Get my girlfriend pregnant
>Lifts increased, just switched to a PPL routine to cut and get aesthetic
>Paid off my auto loan
>Paid off my student loans
>Turned 24

All is well

of the 1/2/3/4 i'm 3/4 and on my way to 4pl8 deadlifts so i'd say i'm on the road to making it, but still got a long way to go

enjoying the ride though

what ails you user?

buddy, bro, bruh, brah, brosef, broheim!

you married a mental case you don't care about and have nothing in common with

this is the opposite of making it

DO YOU FUCKERS REALIZE Im The FUCKING MAYOR

Cystic fibrosis and Crohns disease

I feel the same way.
We're all going to make it

>long-distance relationship
No, you're actually not gonna make it.

Lost my virginity, moved out, got a new job. Not too bad

Been back lifting two months and already down a belt loop and feeling and looking better
Be next year tho

I made it in the way that I finally am locked down with the gym, diet, and study. No matter what hits me, I keep up with all three. Now the body's just a matter of time, and I can work on other things

I hope to one day possess your will and resolve.

felt like i made it, but i was wrong. i'm beginning to think you can never actually make it, because everytime you come close, your focus shifts. maybe i should lay off the drugs

you can't be the Mayor, I'm the Mayor.

>still no gf
>still extra virgin
>still no 2xbw squat
>still no degree
>still only 5'7
>still no visible abs

Eternal limbo of death

It's less will than you think, mainly because I really enjoy lifting. It makes it a lot easier to crawl back to something when you enjoy it

Gained 7lbs all year. Srs.

Slightly lower bf% though so I guess gains is gains. I will need to step it up big time for the rest of the year though.

>tfw the weight gain is probably all heart muscle and fatty liver gains because you look virtually identical

Ive made it unjust wise. Now im trying to make it mirin wise.

link to asmr channel please

the last few years of getting my shit together started paying off this year, i live pretty comfy now.

I can finally watch muh anime without worrying about being a fat autistic neet.

Now i'm just autistic.

Been in a relationship for 4 months and this week I tripled 142.5kg on the bench

I'd say I've made it

well done

i broke up with gf last week

got a new PR on bench and squat
booking a lads holiday this week, loving my life

dont let things get to you lads and just keep lifting

you should try going to the gym senpai

Im only 2 weeks in

My progress went in reverse and I lost half my gains. JDIMSA

How

I feel worse than last year when i was a fatass because at least then i had friends and shit. Now I'm all alone...

I think he's saying he cucked someone, not married her.

Got a nosejob and jaw implants but lost all my gains do to insomnia.

Will just keep on keepin on, not expecting any drastic improvements

>just became a runfag and lost 15 pounds so i'm down to 168 at 6'0"
>lost my virginity over the summer but haven't had sex since
>have a job
>get way more attention from random normies and am more talkative
>discovered phenibut - use this instead of drinking on weekends so I don't get jewed by the alcohol gains goblins
>eat oatmeal with chia seeds and peanut butter every day and I like it
>possible gf situation with a semi-qt 6/10 redhead from one of my classes
lifting is a meme desu, i live in new york city and I'd rather just look like a hipster twink

then fuck off, we only want juicy chads, thads and brads on here

feels bad brah, just pic up the weights and feel every cubic inch of your muscles contract

>classes going great, only As so far
>girls started to mire
>more confident i.e. doesnt spill spaghetti everywhere

>doing great in college
>doing great at work
>made awesome friends
>met an amazing girl
>Lifts still going up even tho im a green dude (symmetric strength)

If this isnt making it i honestly dont care, im having the time of my life.i

I only started 4 months ago.
I'll never make it because I'm going to have loose skin and stretch marks everywhere.

I'll make it in the sense I'll look like a normal human with clothes on.

no

>Lifts going up, soon 1/2/3/4
>Moving out of my parents house for work in December
>Lost my virginity this summer
>Feels pretty good

>doing okay at work
>doing okay at the gym, but disappointed in my progress after 1 year
>no gf, still a virgin

I'm probably never going to make it unless I somehow get to that mythic lmao2p8 bench that everyone else here can do easily. Hopefully I can get there in 2 or 3 years.

Last year I could hardly bench lmao1pl8 for 1 rep. Now I'm at 235 3x5. I've fucked around in the gym and diet. Hit 1/2/2.5/3.5 all for at least 5 reps. I feel that's good enough seeing as I didn't take it seriously.

After I make it I set another target to make it. I am continuously making it.

I went from living at home after the army with a shit job and no gf.

Now i have gf, live away from home and have a job in an industry i enjoy.

Feels fucking good man.

I've done pretty alright this year. If I keep going like this, I might actually be able to call myself fit next year.

>Bench: 85 --> 175
>Squat: 135 --> 225 (kms)
>Diddly: 135 --> 315
>OHP: 65 --> 115

I definitely havent made it yet but
>last year
>introverted khv who couldnt hold a convo for shit
>skinnyfat dyel
>this year
>smashed 8 girls, dating another rn
>have a fwb on the side
>bench 95kg, squat 110kg, dead 125kg,ohp 52.5kg
>dont think about killing myself every night anymore
I think im on the right track, especially considering that this time last year i was browsing wizchan while jerking to gore porn and crying randomly in my room when alone

I've 3/4 made it. For a couple of years getting a girlfriend has been my top priorty - didn't happen. But I started my career as a personal trainer and making all kinds of gains

Time to search for positive messages on the internet
*hint*
spiritual masters.

Nice man, great success!

maybe try making the message "2017 is the year I'm hot and rich"

Depends, had a gf from virginity broke up and didn't get laid for 2 years. Recently fucked a prostitute - didn't change much

Alcoholic? You're an alcoholic and a have a prestigious job? Wouldn't alcohol make it not possible?

On paper yes but I feel even more disconnected from society than ever. I have just learned to blend in so I can succeed. Other than that I like to be alone or focus on my kinda weird hobbies.

I have a girlfriend but no, I still want to land an ollie at high speeds and have my cheese business running.

What made you get plastic surgery?

I still miss her and I still do drugs regularly so no, I haven't made it

FUCK YOU OP ILL NEVER BE BIG ENOUGH

I lost 30lbs this year, mainly by doing cardio - rowing, cycling and recently running. My schedule is about 30 mins rowing, and 30 mins of running later in the day. If I don't do that, I cycle for an 60mins. On the cycling days I usually try to do some strength training. I can't afford gym membership so I do incline push ups to target my chest, dips, and squats using a 15kg gas canister.

I really want to flatten my chest though. I've always had moobs and I would just feel so much better if I could just get my chest to be flat. It feels like the cardio isn't helping there. Sometimes the strength stuff seems to help, sometimes it doesn't, My chest just feels as flabby as ever. I'd love for a woman to touch my chest and for it to be as hard as my shoulders or thighs.
