Good feels

Let's get a good gym feels thread going

>be me
>18yo DYEL
>sign up to a gym ~1.5 months ago, train with complimentary starting program
>keep to myself, don't really interact with other gym-goers besides staff
>have an awesome workout today, heavier weights than before. (25kg curls, 100kg leg press)
>when I'm changing after, another dude comes in who I saw lifting earlier. Half a head taller than me (5'11), asks how my workout went.
>strike up a conversation. How long we've been lifting, why, etc. He tells me you don't want the kind of girl who's purely attracted to your muscles, and he from what he tells me lifting is a lifestyle for him, not just a hobby
>shake hands outside and part ways without even catching his name

I know, I know. Not my personal blog. But it just felt so great. Broke my records today and made a lifting buddy. Tell me about your good lifting feels, anons. Let's bring some cheer to this depressing board.

That's pretty great user, I'm happy for you

how the fk did u reach 25 kg curl 100 kg leg press...can only do 8 kg curl and 40 kg leg press after 3 month

I just kept adding weight whenever I could do my sets without straining and making weird noises from exertion. Are you skellymode bro?

Your average 10 year old can do that 2bh

>mired soo hard i almost cheated on my gf

I started to lift in August and I do 300kg at leg press and yes I do the reps right

Congratulations user!
C'mon, you gotta give us more than that

that's cool dude. Always nice to have a good honest conversation with someone

sounds comfy user. I am jelly but we also don't have thanksgiving here in europe, so i'll have to wait until christmas for coziness by the fire

You did good user. I'm proud of you.
Yeah, I hope I'll see the dude again soon. I'm thinking of stepping away from the premade program in a few weeks and doing more by myself, so a friendly spotter could come in handy.

I've realized I'm going to be alright.

Learned some new life lessons this past month and this week has been an amazing journey through life.

We're going to make it. I love you guys whoever you are. You've kept me going this far
Here's to another upcoming journey in our lives.

Good cunt.
I'd grab a beer with you user.

And for the record jack away bruh.

I'll share my latest.

>Tear pec in October, not off the bone but enough to be in a lot of pain all the way down into to my forearm.
>Also have lower back pain. Always deadlift with good form so unsure what the cause is.
>In a pickle because all 3 compounds are hard to do now.
>Spend the next month doing accessory work and small rehab type shit.
>Spend about $500 on different treatments and chiro work.
>Back pain gone, found cause and found solution.
>Chest getting better and can now bench 50lb dumbells for sets of 20, and squat 315 for triples and deadlift 450 for a double.

I weigh 232. My all time best 1rm total was 1285. I do powerlifting as a hobby so it's not a crazy total but now I'm sitting at about 880. It makes me sad, but a month ago it was about 700 and I also still look like my total is around 1200 so that's a win.

The girl im sleeping with at the moment thinks my legs are too big for the rest of my body but not gonna lie, I fucking love squats.
Looking forward to being juicy thicc in 2018 with a fixed back and a mended set of tits.

What was your diagnosis?

Hey brahs, been away for months

long story short I have bad genetics, bad appetite and I'm a manlet.

My dream is to reach 1/2/3/4 (with a double over hand deadlift). I've got 1/2/3 but I'm a little aways from 4. Just wanted to share to I'm happy to be so close. I never thought I'd get this far. That is my biggest good feel even though it isn't that impressive.

>gymcel, very low confidence, work hard in all I do
>virgin, never gunna get girl
>gym with friend first time in years
>good workout, show friend the ropes, break dl pr
>later friend tells me "I think you sell yourself short, I thought a lot of girls were giving me mires in the gym but after several of them I realized they were for you."
>receiving mires and didn't even know it
>feels fucking good for the first time ever

we're gunna fucking make it

Last weekni finally hit 365 squat and thr feeling and adrenaline alone was amazing.

what was wrong with your back and how did you fix it?

>sell yourself short
sorry bro, he was making fun of you for being a manlet

me tall, u manlet

I'm a bit of a deformed bloke and one of my legs is a little longer than the other and stuff. (was supposed to be born with downs)
So I walk really weirdly when I'm not paying attention, and the cause ended up being my left ankle was supinating when I walked. Nothing major but it had just built up over a couple of years. New shoes and a few cracks and a remedial massage sorted it all.

Good job bro

>lifting for 4-5 months

If you're having problems with your deadlift, try sumo, it might just solve your problems.

Did I potentially save it? Am I creep? Is there hope? I'll say a decade for my fortunes, the Lord gave me strength to even talk to her

Don't build up hypotheses and theories in your head. You don't know what will happen until you see what happens. Don't worry about it so much, there's nothing you can do. Just wait and see what happens.

A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. Remember than, user.

Nice user. What was her hair color?
We'll you're working different muscle groups on sumo. Usually involves more legs so you can lift more.Definitely recommend though.

that*

Thank you Angelic user

my squat was pathetic too, so leg drahve isn't really the answer. sumo just feels much more comfortable and 'natural' to me

>Be me
>Always feel good
I might have a brain tumor or something, just always feel good

>haven't drank in about 10 days

Not strictly fitness related but it's something!

Congratulations sometimes it's hard to put the bottle down.

gonna stop visiting fit, no point anymore, she's gone from here

that a good feel right

> claims to be 18 year old skinny noob
> curling 50 pound weights

This place is a joke

Lame, but I need to get it off my chest.

>get in car accident in may
>don't lift for a bit cause fucked up back
>struggle to get back into a routine
>goodbye gains
>finally back into it
>OHP 135 for the first time in 6 months tonight

I missed lifting. Even if it's not a huge number, it's still progress.

I was using group room to practice dyel tier weight to get squats and form right. Was nervous out of my mind when two guys came in to get some kind of workout but I went out of my comfort zone and asked them to check if I was getting the basic form right. Super friendly and told me pretty much everyone at the gym is nice and that they started lifting so little like me. Im slowly getting over my fear being at the gym and their attitude was no small help towards that.

Got mired hard yesterday, irish girl said she needs to rub her vagina all over my arms. First time in 4 years a girls noticed me. I literally cured my depression overnight.

She was actually a 8/10. I was in sheer shock. Usually im invisible.

can't be too sure she likes you, better play it cool and wait

Delete this

I'm glad I wasn't the only one dumbstruck

Irish women are gross

I think he meant (ez) bar curls...

I think I'm skinny. Female family members over 45 think I'm huge.
That'll be what it's called. With v-kinks in the bar. Relative newfag, didn't know the name.

good man, it's a hard road

I fucking love SpeedoSausage
