Back to lifting at home again because it takes too much out of me to act normal at the gym infront of normies

>back to lifting at home again because it takes too much out of me to act normal at the gym infront of normies
eh would have thought after 7 years lifting id have become a normie

dont think its happening at now that im turning 30 soon

>Something is hard
>And since I'm not automatically good at it, I'll never train it.

Do you want to make it or not?

Been trying all my 20s

Being a shutin during teens/late teens/early 20s messed up my ability to relate to anyone or anything

Everyones too far ahead socially id have to go back to age 10 or something to actually start over, cant just train socialisation at this age


The only thing im offered is CBT and drugs by the doctors to help, CBT does nothing, and drugs I'm not willing to take

>not willing to make it

I-I'll just make up an excuse...

wow you really addressed the issue there good 1

Yes, I did.
You're a sad cunt. Get over yourself.

wow you should work as a psychologist brah this is amazing i feel like a normie already

this is a perfect example of stagnant mindset vs growth mindset

what you are describing is honestly just a manifestation of solitude induced delusion.

dude don't be an ungrateful prick, he's trying to help you realize that your problems are self imposed.

do you actually want help or do you just want to post pics of the feel guy and share your sadness with us all?

woah dude im a normie now wtf hahaha

You never wanted to help yourself, you just wanted to bitch about it

Enjoy it, saddo.

if you want to wallow and make no attempt at improving your lot whatsoever, just piss off back to your /r9k/ hugbox. maybe they'll tell you that once you've passed your youth you'll never develop properly. maybe they'll tell you that everything's genetic and you're stuck with what you have and there's no hope of improvement. and you'll probably choose to believe them because its easier not to play the game than to try it and lose.

youthful 34 yo here
if that wrinkled baggy eyed troll is supposed to be your representation, somewhere between your diet and lifestyle choices you done fucked up son

>back to lifting at home because I havent gotten a new apartment yet in the city I am moving to

fuck it is so hard motivating myself at home, when I enter the gym there is so much energy in the room. all these people lifting heavy shit and DYELs and Cardiobunnies mirin when you pick up heavy weights. I fucking miss it man, it is so hard to break PRs when you are just at home in the basement all by yourself. and having my DYEL brother spotting me when I bench 265 doesnt seem safe but I guess it's better than nothing.

>[
eh my power-rack at home is better and safer than the ones at the gym anyway

i always found it easy to motivate myself alone. you can focus on the form much better and there's nothing to break your concentration.

it's probably because I am a very competitive person and when I see other people lifting heavy stuff it motivates me bang out those few extra reps or do another set. at home I just dont have the same drive.

>he does more reps if there's some 5/10 near him

so you just admitted to not being on a proper routine

hows that 1.5 pl8 bench?

you can have a routine and still bang out a few more reps on the last set. you dont have to stick to your routine like it was written by god himself a few adjustments here and there depending on how you feel is absolutely ok.

Not once your past noob gains no...

A proper routine has you working up the intensity of the course of a few weeks.

IF you're going to the gym and just repping out to fail every week your progress is going to be completely random as you'll be constantly over-reaching and regressing b/c you wanted to show off to some dumb slut too many times.

>tfw 30 now

not really bro. depends on goals. yes if you're powerlifting or doing oly you need structure but there's nothing at all wrong with taking advantage of strong days when your programming allows for it.

I am past noob gains and I have followed Canditos 6 Week program for a while but you dont always have to follow such strict programming imo.

I just wanted to have fun, change it up a bit more often andtry new stuff out. Could I have possibly gained more strength in the last weeks/months ? possibly... but have I made progress ? yes. and I doubt my back and arms wouldve improved this much if I didnt take the time to figure out what works best for me.

I will surely go back to some stricter programming if I really feel like I need it but I also have other stuff going on in my life and sometimes you dont have 100% focus on the gym. So on days where I feel like shit I do what I have to do and get out and on days where I feel really good I go balls to the wall.

I get what you are saying but I think as long as I work hard and try to improve it doesnt matter as much to have perfect programming. But if I really get stuck in my progression I will definitely move back to a stricter program.

>being accepted by normies
>"making it"
Next you'll tell me I should enjoy pumpkin spice lattes and binge watch Netflix shows.

so what? that's regular folk enjoying regular folk things. you think you're superior because you sit and cynically judge the outside world on Veeky Forums all day nerd?

Yes kek. Just like I objectively think I'm better than curlbros because I deadlift and squat too.

Or is it you'll move the goal post again and tell me curlbros have made it too and that's perfectly acceptable.

Live with some standards and integrity man, my God.

>hates normal people
>feels superior for doing meme lifts
>shares autistic delusions on Veeky Forums

>Live with some standards and integrity man, my God.

Just a typical pity me beta. Not willing to make a change because it's hard.

I wonder what % of you talking shit could come to being a functioning member of society after 15 years NEET, no drivers license, no friends, no education, no social skills, no qualifications, no money, no status, etc.

It ain't so easy to just "change" once you've been that way for so long.

Think about it like this, Veeky Forums is full of the most fucked up people on the planet, and yet I bet not even 0.1% of you match the description above, because most of you are probably 20 or so years old so it's impossible for you to have been NEET for so long to the point where it's pretty much set in stone.

I always act weird in my gym
>mouth the lyrics to what I'm listening to
>repeat sayings from popular bodybuilders before/after/during my lifts
>pour cold water on my face to wake me up
>massage my muscles between sets
One tim when I was doing my Bulgarian splits squats I started feeling up my own butt because it was so pumped. A few people were staring at me.

>15 years NEET, no drivers license, no friends, no education, no social skills, no qualifications, no money, no status, etc.

Sounds like you fit right in with the millennials user.

>he's trying to help you
I'm not the depressed dude but no that guy is definitely not trying to help him.

"Get over yourself" and "you're a sad cunt" isn't advice. Especially not for someone whose brain is constantly over heating in every social situation he's in.

You think there’s this huge distance between you and other people, but there’s not. You think your pain makes you special? Everyone feels pain. Some people make a habit of powering thru it, others don’t (you). You’re not as weird as you think you are, you’re just disconnected from reality. If you went out and socialized every day for a month, you would act as “normal” as they come. The only thing you’re missing is core confidence. You already have all the social skills you’ll ever need, unless you’re literally autistic, in which case social skills can still be learned.
