Mixed feels tbqhfams

here is your (you) and some oc
>almost lmao2pl8 bench

Why mixed feelings?
because you look good relative to the real world but look like shit on aboard full of /fraud/ and body dysmorphia?

I mean it's good motivation but we should stay realistic

>tfw you step on the scale and you've gained 3 pounds
Peanut butter doing its magic.

>tfw got a fitted xl bodybuilding.com shirt
>managed to get it on fully

First time in more than a year I've fit into an xl shirt. Still dont like that it's tight and shows off my gut, but it's progress

>tfw you can finally bench your bodyweight
what is the difference between this and doing a push up

I'm genuinely confused now that I'm thinking about it

Wow, how can you be that stupid

To me nothing is better than deadlift pb.

>tfw wrist has been injured since April and you have finally been able to go to the gym without pain for the first time since

>tfw ordered a power rack, bench and barbell for my basement

just need the plates then I'm ready for winter hibernation gaINS FUCKING TRAIN! WHOOOOOO!

With a pushup like 1/3rd of your weight is supported by your feet

>tfw girls mirin my body
>tfw im beta af who can't even talk to the girls

jelly, user.

i'm glad you've finally recovered!

>not taking mk-677 to recover overnight

Did stairmaster for 45 min today

user pretty soon you're going to be THE staremaster ;)

Yeah, wrist shit always takes forever to heal. :(

man I really should start deadlifting

>t-thanks, mom

>Acquired qt gf
>440 deadlift
>Snatches doing well

Not many complaints desu

In addition to simply being less weight:

The angle is on a decline which makes it easier: the hardest part, at the lowest point of the rep, is about 66% bodyweight, as you go up, it is effectively lighter (you can think of it as a basic physics problem with forces acting on the vertical plane changing with respect to the angle of your body to the ground).

Using three points of stability makes it far more stable and easier.

The only thing bodyweight push-ups have over bench is more core use, but at bodyweight, this should not be an issue.

Is it even possible to lift your feet off the ground and do a pushup if you already bench more than your bodyweight, or is that just too hard to even try?

Its possible, but there's a fair amount of technique and core strength required. It doesn't look or work quite the same as a regular pushup.

user is correct. It's called a planche push up. You'll notice all the videos of it are of DYEL as fuck teens who think they're hot shit, which should tell you how effective it is.

>tfw you can finally deadlift 3pl8lmao

I know it isn't much, but six months ago, I was struggling to do 1pl8 for working sets and 185lbs for 1rm. I can feel my body getting stronger and moving bigger things. I can see the outline of my abs and faint striations on my shoulders. This feels so good. I wouldn't stop for anyone now. One day I will make it.

hitting 3pl8 diddly later this week my nigga, I'm pumped

how do you not shit yourself running? banana + coffee

>At 270lb squat after four months

>tfw 3 people have complemented on your arms in the last 2 weeks

>bbq chicken instead of just frying it
Name a better feel.

>down from 190lbs to 176lbs
>still pull 440+lbs deadlifts

Feels really good Veeky Forums.

>When she plays with her hair and smiles when she's talking to you

Coming back from a knee injury and squatted lmao1pl8 today, first milestone in over half a year

>she was thinking of chad and his PIZZA

one day i may

Congrats, famalam.

Benched 120kg and dead 220kg both first time this week.

Squat is getting closer to my old max of 190kg after being below this for a year.

Time to compete soon.

>tfw started doing graffiti
>tfw just bombed some useless crate on the side of busy road thats been there for decades
>tfw edgy art going to be seen by thousands plebs on their way to work/wherever

feels good

>tfw girl im talking to is 5'7 and I'm 5'10
>says she can only go one inch below her
>says that unless you're built and have good postures 6'2+ is skelly lanky territory and it looks funny
>says I have a manly posture and built (t-thanks Veeky Forums
>mfw being a manlet got more bearable.

After hitting 1pl8 OHP about a month ago, just hit 3pl8 squat 2 days ago. Bench is at 215... but that last 10 pounds to 2pl8 is taking a while. Diddly is lagging a bit at 365 so I still have 40 pounds to make up to get it to 4pl8, but I'm feeling confident.

For me 1/2/3/4 is a pretty big milestone given how skinny I used to be (and still am to a degree).

Fast forward 1year and you cringe at your first tags.

>going to be seen by thousands

Care to guess how many of those actually give a shit?

Did you actually draw something good looking or just a tag? Because I've seen lots and lots of tags which were just the letter M, and no one knows who M is. He's not famous, he just vandalized large parts of the city.

Anyway, I've seen some funny ones, like "WOMEN AND COCAIN" along the highway, and "Orwell was right" at the train station. It would flash past you as you left the station.

I think it looks pretty good, it's a colorful mural of my name with my tag next to it, I'm no picasso tho
I also don't care if they care, it's more of a statement that that stretch of town is ugly and needs to be rebuilt and gentrified

someone writes EAT FISH all over my town

i get happy every time i see it

>Tfw told the girl i was in love with she should fuck off
Feels great getting rid of those stupid mind games she kept on playing with me bros

>Finally benched 100kg for 6

the love of my life who I shared everything in common with left me because I've been getting involved with gang activity because /povertymode/

>tfw never had any family and she was the closest thing
>tfw bipolar
>tfw tried to kill myself from alcohol poisoning
dint du nuffin

good feels because at least if I don't kill myself one day I'll get over her maybe and I will be able to find the right one once I'm out of this shithole

I like this thread

>gang activity
Why would you do that? Learn a legal skill and get a job. There is no happy ending for gang shit. There is no retirement plan.

New to lifting and recovering fatass but this one happened to me

>Used to flex biceps and barely any change from unflexed
>Actually see my bicep protruding doing every day things, and having significant size increase when flexed

> 7.5kg off 1pl8 on OHP
> 27.5kg off 2pl8 for bench
> 5kg off 3pl8 for squats

>tfw joined a band
>making mad social gains
Social gains >>>> muscle gains i've decided

What do you do for them?

can you post an "enough" pepe for me user

i've been plateau'd on 90kg ohp and 130kg bench for so long i'm genuinely about to unleash the fury on these fucking gym chads that make easy progress

just ordered myself a bulk burger

feels good

not thinking about that girl anymore aye

finally winter is coming in cali

...

>90kg ohp
damn son

thanks friend

i've been strength training for 2 years and that's my 1RM, it's not impressive at 95kg bw

i wish i could ohp that much man im stuck at way below half of what youre capable of

you'll get there if you give it time, we all will

throw in some push pressing to break past plateaus and some behind the neck pressing for size, focus on intensity rather than volume, and you'll be golden, my shoulders are generally the first thing people compliment me on and i hit 60kg for reps in my first 6 months of training

yeah need to get back on track currently real noob and on SL

>tfw wanted to start lifting in earnest 2 weeks ago
>injured neck last week
>gym was closed after it healed up
>now I have one of the worst colds of my life

WTF I guess God wants me to remain dyel

>behind the neck pressing

If I may give advice, make yourself tea, lipton lemon tea or smth, and then take ginger and use a grate to chop it into the tea. Then some honey.

I swear to god it works wonders. Also garlic.

>tfw biceps grew 1 centimeter

this
after 7 years as a fat-fuck/dyel, it was like I was flying.

Fuck indecisive girls fuck 'em

>go back to old job of 2 years after working a shitty job for 1.5 years
>everyone's glad I'm back apparently, feels good
>still relatively the same strength and size i was 1.5 years ago cuz I've had a surgery and some injuries in that time
>found out the other day via our qt secretary that I'm the "eye candy" for the like 8 females that work at this place
>tfw the 2 qt girls that are in their 20s are married and in a relationship

Feels good I suppose.

Fuck this
Happens to me every day But I am a autistic as hell.
Sometimes I wish I was invisble for women Like I used too
