What would you tell your younger self Veeky Forums? (or you when you just started lifting)

will getting fit make pof girls respond to me? Or make tinder matches actually respond? Why would they match if they're not going to respond

Stop eating like shit and lift consistently or else you'll have acne and look like a twink for several years

ohhhhhhhhhhh

>battletoads

Go to a fucking gym and start fucking lifting for just 2 weeks. The newbie gains will become addicting. You'll fall in love with the gainz.

Eat more and lift heavier, don't be scared. Also rippletits is a charlatan don't listen to him.

isolate abdominals every workout

Learn how to bench correctly, not with the shit form it took you years to correct.
And for fuck's sake don't be a faggot, ask Brianna to go to prom with you she was crushing on you.
Still one of my biggest regrets.

I would have too much to say, but to keep it short and sweet I would tell myself that my sedentary life-style would come back to haunt me in my adulthood if I didn't change.

Things will only go downhill.

What were you doing wrong on the bench, user?

Not retracting my shoulders all the way back and doing too much barbell bench.
For the longest time my front delts were way overdeveloped but my chest still looked like shit.
I've managed to fix the imbalance but my front delts are still the thing people are drawn to first when they see me.
I want my pecs to make everyone jelly not my delts.
Also I have a bit of scoliosis and it's resulted in my right pec sticking out further than my left, even though they are just as strong.
If I did more dumbbell bench in the beginning I'm sure I could have gotten a better start at balancing my chest.

This.

I'm happy I learnt this shit at 20

Do 20 rep squats until you learn proper form.

Don't waste your time on the machines (except for the lat & row cables), start doing compound lifts. Nothing shameful in not lifting heavy as a newbie.

Lift thrice a week, play a sport regularly for the cardio. Don't drink or smoke cigs, they'll slow you down

"Your dick will not shrivel up and all off because you are 20 and haven't stuck it in a female yet. But I realize if I tell you this you might stop lifting, which is bad because you need some motivation to eat better."

that frog's jacked
routine?

Diet is easily the most important part of fitness. You can't just "work harder in the gym". You fucking swallow that egg white and spinach omelette, that baked whitefish and asparagus, that kale, quinoa and lemon chicken... it makes such a fucking difference.

1. Don’t bother with supplements
2. Fitness is more than just biceps and bench-presses - Don’t neglect your heart/cardio.
3. You probably don’t need as much protein as you think you do to build muscle.
4. Much of what you read, see on youtube, or are told by others around the gym when it comes to nutrition, programs, muscle growth, etc. is incorrect but passed around like fact.
5. Consider making fruit and vegetables a large part of your diet. Not saying become a vegan but don’t neglect the nutrients you get from these sources and their impact on your health and in preventing disease.
6. Don’t make yourself unhealthy trying to become healthy. Crash diets, starvation, questionable fat burners, etc.

EAT

Nobody (outside a small group of people) care how much you lift, or how huge you are. Girls just want a guy with low bf and a decent body that people in the fitness community would call DYEL.

Some of the things I'd tell me then are some of what I'd tell my kids if I ever have any.
>trust your instincts/follow your heart/gut
>do your homework. Yeah you're smart but not doing homework kept you a C student when you could have had A's
>do your best, always
>stay social. You might have been shy but it never held you back
>Keep playing sports stay active.
>stick with lifting weights. (85lb freshman to 195lb senior, you would've had a nasty build)
>when a girl says you look like a celebrity, it's a >it's OK to fail. That's how we get better. That's how confidence is built.
>always strive to get better
>get your heart broken early
>she was flirting with you
>be mindful of who you spend time with (friends and family)>
>video games might have been fun but you use them to numb yourself.

...shit.
I wasn't ready for some self reflection. Might write more later.

Up the Tren

Don't do ghetto shit like backstreet boxing.
Don't eat garbage, eat clean healthy food.
Don't get fat it takes a while to correct.
Go to sleep on time.
Should have taken school more seriously.
Don't be such a loser.

No those bodybuilders are not natural and even though you have 19 inch arms, you're not getting the amount of all over mass they have no matter how much you kill yourself.

It's called rest you fucking moron.

Don't start shaving your goddamnd head and don't take the creatine you'll regret it.

You can't run long because you're 6'3 300 fucking pounds of muscle and have a bodyfat of 20%. Long aerobic running is something that should be done sparringly in favor of hardcore sprinting and high intensity work. You know that thing you're good at?

keep an eye on your boy. take your head out of your ass put your foot down and help him out. he's got a lot of problems and you're only prolonging the inevitable

There is no "one" girl.
All of those girls are the one you dumb ass. Stop looking for the one girl who you'll finally make love too(as if the fucking you've been doing is so fucking radically different) and have that happy loving relationship with.
Doesn't exist.
Learn to open up a bit more and just have fun.

Just have fun and don't just let every girl who wants a boyfriend tie you up like that. It's pathetic.

Just because you got raped as a kid doesn't mean you deserved it or asked for it and that doesn't mean you're gay. You're a victim and you should grow beyond it and let it go.

Take the money, stay on the bus, and go to dallas. Your dick is huge, you have a giant moneyshot and you fuck well.
Get into porn.
OR Join the marines.

That's probably what I would have told myself. Also,
>don't have a oneitis
>you had a good gf, why'd you ghost her
>do extracurricular activities
>do NOT play skyrim, you will become addicting and use it as an escape
>hang out with dad more
>take her to homecoming instead of that concert
>let loose a little
>get on Accutane earlier

>telling yourself to get on accutane.
Seriously nigga?
You know what that shit does to you?

what

I still dont regret playing MMO's back in the day, I had such a fucking blast, making friends online, adding them on MSN, It really did substitute me a real family ive never had

Dont fuck with white girls they will break your pure heart

Which do you want, no zits or no sex. Cause that shit will kill your dick dead/dry up your snatch completely.
And it's longterm shit.

It's a tough decision for a lot of people. Get permanent scars on your face and go through high school miserable or take a pretty serious pill

Why would you regret taking creatine?

What exactly does it do to your dick?

All those girls were actually interested in you too.

I've got the same problem.

don't bother with appearances just do cardio because it has the best long term health benefits

start lifting in middleschool you fucking autist, you grow to be 6'4 dont let the body go to waste

>don't bother with marathons, just start lifting.
>your parents are huge enablers, don't visit them too often
