One of the 3 other guys at the gym mentions he has been seeing me here a lot. Tells me to keep it up.

went to the gym first time today, strained my triceps heavily doing some shit with dumbbells, at the time Had that feelsgood burn so I thought this is alright but after I got home cooled down or what not, my hands are fucked I can't bend my right hand its stuck in a limited L shape, can move slightly but it hurts really fucking bad and my triceps are swollen. I fucked up Is my arm fucked or this fixable?
Justin Gutierrez
Happens first time you work out every muscle group, will be sore for upto a week and will never happen again after that
Jason Ward

My mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and ended up taking time off her jobs claiming employment insurance in the meantime. Her surgery's next week. Pops is pulling home 60k/year so it's likely going to get tough on us. I'm willing to contribute work income + any gains from investing my life savings if necessary, but this is just too real. I'm 20, if it makes any difference.
I'm a junior in college and work 15 hours part time per week while balancing a full course load and this year, my marks have been falling to shit. I study on my two days off + after school at times and work weekends, bar Sunday.
This has all just taken a toll on me and I'm just fucking terrified of the future, man. On top of shit tier grades in a very competitive business school, bombed a group presentation with some pal's today and will likely drag the group down.
Fuck Veeky Forums why am I such a fuck up? I'm dying inside.

My crush noticed me and wants to hangout tomorrow. We’re going to a bar. Sadly gotta eat carbs so I don’t blackout and embarrass myself. :(

I tried symmetric strength for the first time. I got subpar chinups, and untrained bench. Novice everything else. I hate that my bench is already lagging behind.
Is there a way to increase strength while maintaining bodyweight? Or should I go whole hog into a bulk or cut?
Adam Gray
Cut then bulk, there you maintained your weight, just did it the long way 'round.
Connor Ramirez
OP here don't give up, give yourself some time to heal once things settle down BUT don't let yourself go, its a slippery slope
My dad died from stage 4 liver cancer 4 years ago. the year after was a haze. My was dianosed with stage 3a uterine cancer a year ago. Just finished up chemo
I started lifting cause i was tired of feeling like shit and want to get healthier.
Never give up and make the best of what you got. use hardship to motivate you.

Goddamn, life is throwing you a ball with more curves than a 500lb soul-food stuffed negress. Just think about it this way, if you can come out on top through all of this shit, NOTHING can stop you in life.
