Good feels general

Well, I didn't tell the whole story as I'm pretty sure I'm going to get shit on for this, but I had bariatric I was a surgery at the beginning of the year. I was around 384 to start. I was diagnosed with diabetes, and already had high blood pressure and out of control cholesterol.

Doc suggested it, insurance covered everything, so I did it. But make no mistake. The gastric sleeve only limits what you can eat in one sitting. I still had to figure out how to eat right and start being active.

After roughly a year of changing my eating habits and taking a liking into running I finally achieved my goal weight (75kgs coming from 98 ~100kgs)
Still a babyfaced manlet, but I feel more confident now, and slowly buying clothes that I like and look good on me.
Also the sex is now great, cardio really improves endurance in that context.
So yeah, thanks Veeky Forums

Can you remove a gastric sleeve or is it there forever?

Dropping 2 kilograms of bodyweight after stalling for like a month, thinking about handsome bear mode guy when showering instead of my gf. Its finally happening for me bros

After feeling like my lifts were beginning to stall i decided to test my 1RMs.
Finally hit 140kg deadlift, benched 92.5kg, OHP 60kg and amazed myself with a 120kg squat. Feels great man.

How long have you been lifting?

How??

Almost 6 months seriously.
Currently weigh 93kg at 6'4, so still a lanklet but making progress.

I need to get serious about training again since she takes up so much of my time, but man does it feel good to look better and have a qt. If i can do it anyone can brahs, my best advice is to get to 10% and stay there. You can't have fat on your face and get a girls interest

...

how did you drop the 25lbs over summer ?

My life is going very well for once.

That's pretty solid progress. I've been lifting for 11 months, and my 1RMs are 135kg DL, 97.5kg BP, 102.5kg squat and 60kg OHP.
I'm 6'3@97kg.

seeing a woman IRL feeling so at ease in my company would be a good feel in itself, thanks for posting that man

You're going to think I'm memeing, and for all I know this didn't do me any good because I kind of combined a few different ideas into my diet, but intermittent fasting along with low carb along with lower calories overall (not that I ever count them) .
So my day looked like this
830 apple
845 lift
1015 spam/ham, banana
4 chicken/meatballs (plain) with green beans and cottage cheese.

That's it. Every day for months. I only drank water as well, and I ate the same exact thing every day. I'm sure there are better ways to do it but this worked for me

Gastric sleeve != gastric band

The band is like a ring creating a small stomach pouch which gets filled really easily.

A gastric sleeve surgery involves resecting the greater curvature part of the stomach so that the remaining part resembles a sleeve. That is forever.

Give it time

>6'4" used to lift regularly, damaged a tendon loss of mobility from it ruined form.
>after a few years hit 300, about a year ago decided to fix my shit.
>cleaned up my diet, did some doctor shopping out about the loss of mobility my options are basically surgery or it might loosen up if I started doing cardio.
>down to 248, the goal is to get down to 220, I'm not far off.
Oddly enough as a side effect of all this, I've met a girl and I am happy for the first time since my brother died.

We're gonna make it brah.
Stiff leg deadlifts have helped my squat and deadlift so much.

I just hope to land the internship I'm waiting for so this year ends at a high point.

Oh I am laffin

People still count 1rm? You should only stat for 1 set max dummies, I.e. The weight you can life for 5 reps for 1 set. Otherwise you will get laughinggirls.jpeg

Glad to hear bro. Keep up that good fight.

My workout app tells me my 1RMs, I don't test them myself.

2 and half months in
diddly 140 kg
squat 90 kg
bench 60kg
ohp 40 kg

thats g-good right

Mixed feels but had to get this out there

>had 4 gfs in my lifetime, including one who I was with for almost four years
>always been attracted to girls but been a pussy with them for most of my life too, which means Ive fucked only 10 girls in my life (yes a round number, but it's the truth)
>loved fucking my ex gf and was always horny as shit, part of the reason we broke up is cause I wanted to have sex too often for her and became frustrated
>watched gay porn sometimes cause it was taboo mostly, but I also got hard at watching it without touching my dick
>always got horny for guys when on stimulants like Adderall or coke, but never even noticed attractive guys while sober

Anyway, fast forward to Friday
>bored, decide to get some coke to do by myself like a degenerate
>its probably the best shit i ever had

>go over his house
>suck his dick and he fucks me in the ass

Mixed feels. Liked it while I was coked up, but idk if i would sober.

That's a hell of a deadlift compared to everything else.
Keep it up

Wtf but that's gay

Did you ever lift while on coke?

Ive eaten 4 chicken breasts today and went to the gym before. That must be more than 100 grams of protein, right lads?

Being gay is a way of life, sucking some dick and getting fucked in ass isn't gay lol

Been lifting 11 months now, started legs 2 months ago (fell for the upperbody meme), finally hit 100kg squat yesterday

>Hey honey, that creepy bald man was staring at me.
>You mean the one wearing the shirt that said "if you're reading this, it's curl day" shirt?
>Yeah that one. He was eating chicken breast from a ziplock bag. I think he was looking at my butt.
>Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. He was probably jealous of your legs. It looks like he just started working out, did you see how small his calves were?

Honestly, user. Keep these events to yourself, even on online Taiwanese straw mat appreciation websites. They're really off putting and are likely to bolster your ego too much. Then your ego gets in way of your lifts, and then suddenly your body disphoria is gone. Slippery road.

Aspire to be big and like pic related

btw senpai, going alot heavier than what you can max is a nice way to get used to heavier weight.

I mean like, you don't go through the movement, but you hold it statically. Like if your max squat is 3pl8, you load up 3.5 or 4pl8 and just stand with it for a bit. just a random tip desu senpai

Insomnia is the devil

I take melatonin but that doesn't always help. I'm afraid to take some kind of medication whether they be from a doc or OTC because it may make it worse, or cause me to over sleep and not be able to wake up in the morning. Pls help bros

>We're all gonna fuarkin make it

Will you ever really get over her or just keep living trying to forget.

>"FeeIs" garbage posting
>Stories that never happened
>Non fitness reIated thread

Saged, repoted :)

and it was kind of easy desu

the other lifts are ~~5RM, but right now with deadlift i do lets say, 130kg x5, and if i do that with good form i move on to next weight

so i tried 140kg, put on good song, gripped and ripped and almost passed out on top. The lift itself was easy but i think i didnt control my breath good enough or just went too fast.

I think i have more steam going but i dont know if my form is good enough to push 110% ability

If I died I'd want my sister to work hard and be happy instead of sad about me dying.
I imagine your bro would feel the same way. He's fist bumping you right now user, you're making it, never stop and keep it going.

Still pretty good though. I'm sure it was difficult.

Nah, that's retarded. I imagine itd feel like you're about to have a heart attack, and thats what people who've done it have told me.

>23 years old
>"only" fucked ten girls

Feels good lads we are all gonna make it

if this isn't bait, consider suicide (^:

Even if it was bait I like how easily triggered people on Veeky Forums are, all a man has to do is have earrings and tattoos and they act like losing weight was meaningless.

Thanks, user? I guess I shouldn't have expected another reaction.

If you're that user who posted his weight loss then yeah, you did a good job.
I don't care about another man's fashion and all this nu-male shit Veeky Forums spews is just alt-right idiots who are insecure about themselves, you're not alpha if you are putting others down because they are superficially different than you.
Doing good m8, keep working out and you'll make it.

>t. nu-male
UPVOTED!

d-do people mire if you ohp 110?

You probably need to get to 135lbs before people mire much.

>Fucked only ten girls because I'm a pussy with them

I've always been a pussy around girls, and I've fucked zero at 25.

Care to explain how you can be that yet fuck 10 girls anyways?

...

my dad just died young, i'm only 18.

help me Veeky Forums, im in france where he died during training and i can't take my anger out on deadlifts

I finally rehabbed my shoulder. It's been safe for one month. Going back into the gym for upperbody in one or two weeks once I feel like it's reinforced 110%. Going to get doms in everything but legs again because that's all I did this whole time with forearms.

>tattoo
Dropped

There you are my sweet prince

Impossible

>using all those buzzwords
Lol loser

3 qts started following me on ig after they saw me at work and 2 of them texted me over ig so now I have two dates this week. A blonde and a brunette, how exciting.

And I'm finally having some money to spend so it's perfect.

We are all going to make it brahs

>Veeky Forums in a nutshell

What are your lifts now?

Your weight is growing or the amount of weight you're lofting is growing.

leave him alone user, he's 4channing

>tfw i know this feel
feels good breh

fucking damn dude, top notch

Same here. I still had tfwnogf for a while, but that's gone away too. I'm still a lazy ass that takes Adderall every day. That's the next one to go.

It's a strange feel, though. I'm just as objectively alone as I was a month ago, but the crushing loneliness is completely gone. I actually have to convince myself to spend time with people instead of just lifting, reading, and doing hobby stuff in my house.

I'm almost never on Veeky Forums these days, too, which probably helps. Veeky Forums in particular has this infectious self-conscious fatalistic negativity that was dragging me down. But, I was happy about my lifts going up, so here I am.

>Veeky Forums in particular has this infectious self-conscious fatalistic negativity that was dragging me down
exactly. I tell normal people, even normal people that lift, what i can move, and i have immediate respect. On here, somehow everyone is a demigod of weightlifting and will shit all over you for not being at their level. cant stay here all the time

Honestly, I was thinking more about the manlet/tfwnogf/u-r-not-Chad meme constellation than the dyel meme. I agree that lift-related bullying is dumb too, but because lifts are objective simple statistics I find it harder to get dysmorphic about them.

surprise tip bro: take melatonin about 1-2 hours after you want to wake up in the morning to reset or chance your sleep rhythm. for example if you wanted to get up at 7, take it at 9 am. it can put you to sleep but works better/more long term if you take it in the morning
t. some sleep therapist/ neurologist told me once

Don't listen to them user. Keep it up bro we're all going to make it

this is also true. too much self hatred here to visit regularly
