Anybody here healing from injuries?

I've been treating my sciatica from a herniated disc for months, and I'm seeing veeeery slow improvements only now

I can walk for a few minutes and sit for a while now

Alright, asshole. Then you didn't really have paranoia or anxiety in the first place then, huh? Out you fucking normie. This is what separates the men from the boys.

Get back to rebbit, I suppose.

That fucking blows. Feel better bro.

And here I am thinking that I'll never recover from my tendonitis.

Feels good

Actually just getting back into lifting after quitting for the summer. Got caught up with other stuff but made up for it by working on a farm. Caluses look better than ever but I have to catch up on legs

Idk but she had the tightest little body you'll ever see. She was writing down sets and exercises for her mum, it was so cute

This made me happy. Good job user desu

Bondage sex best sex

Annoying cleanup though, usually just stopped at making her dress up like a leather clad whore because i just needed to smash

i masturbated to myself in the mirror last night.

i think i just transcended

As ive gotten fit ive started doing this :|

please tell me my life will get better /fit

Nice one user, The last time I went home with a woman she was taller than me, i'm 5'7 she was 5'8 + Heels.

Anyway this reminds me of the last time I met an amazon size woman, so 6'3 I think, My country is quite short so this girl was very tall. Talking to her really reinforced the idea that being tall for fems is like being short for men, so if your like me then the amazonian smasharoo will hopefully be more than just a dream.

Am 50; recovering from a cerebellar stroke. Decided it was time to unfuck myself. Doing good. Down 11 lbs since June. Blood pressure and glucose all down to normal. Lifting and running again. Post-stroke ED gone. Have gone cold turkey on vidya and TV.

I'd made it before the stroke. I'm gonna make it again.

keep dreaming there is joy with women. enjoy the short moment

It will get better user, but only if you make it better

Enjoy severe brain damage in your retirement

im all out of fight user.

ur gonna make it.

Yeah, lifting and getting your diet together will do that. Try getting some fish oil and theanine in there too and your anxiety will go away. Do it for All Might. He believes in you!

When you've hit rock bottom, the only way left is up. Been down there too user, how fucked it all is it does breed character.

some faggot on the internet won't give you the strength to fight

it's something you give yourself

It will if you work at it. Don't leave anything to chance, work your ass off

> "Wow user! You're ripped"
> Listening to modern baseball while riding my bike

As the other anons said, it's up to you.
Don't just let life happen to you.

I'm finally seeing a doctor today for the first time since I was a teen and my mom scheduled my appointments. Hope it goes okay.

Man if you've hit rock bottom, go out and do something crazy. Go base jumping or buy a one way plane ticket to Morocco or some shit.

Good luck pall

Things are good. I feel very blessed.

What do you do to start the conversation? How????

Do it user

>ask cashier if it's been a busy day instead of my usual silence

slowly

that would mean even more gains and even better nights out with the rowing team.

>go to community college, doing pretty fun stuff but mostly just playing games and working out
>come back home, long summer, play games till i get sick of them, work out
>no gains since i don't eat enough on average, mostly due to having a fucked sleeping rhythm from the second i came home from community college
>just started uni yesterday, ditched videogames, ditched porn and fapping, preparing myself to work hard and try and survive this harsh, brutal degree
>hopefully i get enough time to lift some, probably will get more time as i get better at cooking and eating faster and get more energy due to doing more things every day
Things are looking up. I hope. i don't know yet. I'm gonna be social too. But think about it, the more stuff you do, the more stuff you have energy to do, right? If you do nothing all day, doing anything feels unachievable, but if you do lots all day, doing everything feels achievable. I don't know man, I don't know. I'm perfectly fine at holding conversations, it's just initiating them which is my issue. Cause I don't like carrying convos, and if you initiate convos you gotta carry them mostly and initiating convos with total strangers is weird and, eh.. I'll probably get some friends. It'll be fine, I already met someone I knew from before.

keep it up user

>talking to girl for a while
>she stops talking to me out of nowhere

You have to remain conscious of it, its a mental thing really. For instance, if somebody asks me "thanks for fixing my car, what was wrong with it?" i used to say

>the uh.. the.. *pause while i have to think about it*.. throttle body in your car.. uner the hood.. i fixed it"
my problem was i start talking before I have the answer ready. Now i've shifted that pause to before i speak and it comes out as
>your throttle body was dirty so I cleaned that, and the sensor was bad so I replaced it

Also I've been able to find more exact words to describe what I'm trying to say, letting me use a wider vocabulary so I can help dispel the dumb as rocks meathead stereotype.

My blood work is getting better and has improved

Basically, I am getting better and no need to worry just yet, there is still a chance I will have cancer in a few years but for now I'm going with the blood work and I am doing well

Keep going user

Good job OP.
Got any tips for us anons?

>at a club
>Work up to asking a girl dancing bear me if she wants to go for a smoke
>'yes'

Well that was fucking easy. Nothing ventured nothing gained lads. Meeting for drinks this week.

Sleep is your most important resource.
Lack of sleep puts your body under an insane amount of stress, basically keeping fight or flight running constantly. Additionally it fucks up your diet as youve seen, greatly diminishes gains, and causes bloating.
This doesn't touch on mental fog and behavioral side effects.
If you have to cut your gym time to get proper sleep, you should. You'll see better gains both mental and physical.
Fixing my sleep hygiene improved every area of my life DRAMATICALLY.

>dancing bear...

looking good bro

n-no homo

What did you do and what was your bf% before lifting?

How do you ask out a girl working behind a counter? She works on a stall in the middle of a shopping mall that doesn't really get very many customers. I've never needed anything from the stall since its just phone accessories and stuff that won't fit my phone but she's a qt and I want to ask her out. Never asked a girl out irl before. Plan atm is
>do a week of nofap for placebo gains
>go to her stall
>tell her I don't want to buy anything, I just think she's a qt and wanted to ask if she'd be interested in grabbing coffee or something sometime
>tell her I'm in a bit of a rush so can't really chat atm (lie)
>leave my number and then leave it up to her to contact me so it doesn't feel like I'm cornering her behind a counter she's not allowed to leave
Rate strategy. Is leaving my number too beta? Should I just ask for hers? I feel like if I ask for hers she'll be caught off guard and might just reject me as a knee-jerk response to being flustered, and if I leave my number she can at least have time to collect her thoughts and maybe increase chance of success.

Yea, its that easy

Girls are not really scary and given the situation they will most likely go out for a drink with just about anyone, the key is confidence and if she has a personality she will say yes....

>>tell her I don't want to buy anything, I just think she's a qt and wanted to ask if she'd be interested in grabbing coffee or something sometime
>>tell her I'm in a bit of a rush so can't really chat atm (lie)
>>leave my number and then leave it up to her to contact me so it doesn't feel like I'm cornering her behind a counter she's not allowed to leave
Good but I wouldn't stress about the no fap

I'm proud of you user.

When you start planning out an elaborate scenario in your head weeks in advance you've already lost.
Fuck all this bullshit and just ask her if you really want to.

Educate us more, are you saying to live in the moment instead of trying to bend the future to our whim?

He was definitely athletic before
No way that's 4 months of lifting

Hey man. Good luck on your fast,just be careful. If you feel really light headed lie down for a bit. If you pass out, eat something.

Nofap thing was kind of a joke, but I've got Uni all week anyway so I don't really have time to go to the mall during work hours just to ask a girl out, so I've got about a week anyway. It's not really an elaborate plan, I just don't want show up and then blank and 360 out of there without addressing everything I want to address. I'm not practised. But yeah I get what you're saying.

Had first kiss and lost my virginity a month or so ago and been with the same girl 4 times since

H-have I finally made it Veeky Forums? The fact of someone finding me sexually attractive is so foreign to me..

Yeah no worries. I used to be an overthinker (still am but not as bad) and it's just miserable. It's just an excuse to not take the leap I find, procrastinating and telling yourself you're a "perfectionist".

No don't do that. Autisticly leaving your number in a drive by is a little weird. Just strike up a conversation with her, make sure no one's going to interrupt you for a few seconds and just ask her out. Just say something along the lines "This may be a little foward, but do you want to grab a drink with me sometime?"

Keep it simple and don't think about it to much. If she says yes than ask to put her number into your phone. If she says thanks but no thanks than at least you fucking tried. Also, don't do no fap. It'll cloud your judgment.

mirin those shoulders bro

Yes I'm pretty jelly desu senpai. Good on ya.

I would like to know how. Every time I try to talk to someone, they don't try to help carry the conversation and it ends awkwardly. Maybe the topics I chose are too boring?
