Would
And yes. I love lifting! I am nearing the end of my workout today but I want to do more! I want to lift a years worth of rocks today and get the results NOW.
I love how my body feels. I love how I feel these bulges when I move or fold my arms. I love how light I am when I lift myself out of bed or how my back doesnt get sore after sleeping for 7 hours. I love how fast my body recovers when I sprain my neck, something I have always had to deal with since I was a kid. I love how my weight is going up but my pant size is staying the same. I love how my reflection is changing in the mirror.
I had to dump my GF a few weeks ago because she didnt love me and only liked my money. Same thing, its the one thing I have in my life that I enjoy. I enjoy buying clothes but thats just a derivative of my getting in to shape. Fatasses never look god no matter what clothes they wear.
fricking hell, thought i was schizotypal. main difference. normies say schizoids have no desire socially at all. after seeing this, it seems like its not the case
Made those faults in the past. This time i got back to the gym with the idea that it's only a habit among many other habits, and that it shouldn't take over my entire life. So i work out twice a week full body which is the most practical way to train. Not the best for gains, I repeat; most practical.
Why do you repeat it is not the best for gains? Steve Reeves and Eugen Sandow both trained full body 2-3x. It is arguably the absolute best routine for natties.
You get the optimal frequency of hitting the muscle group 2-3 times a week and 4-5 days is plenty of rest to grow instead of roidtroony 6x a week PPL routine. My only problem with full body is that I like to train heavy and I'm bad at doing high intensity / resting only 45sec between sets etc.
So not only would it take me 3+ hours, I'm also absolutely fricking gassed after doing just squats/rdl, there is no way I can finish the rest of my muscle groups with good I know that Steve and Eugen both trained with ridiculously light weight and focused on perfect form so maybe I really have to give a try but it's just so hard to switch to that because that is the general roidtroony training philosophy yet the two greatest natties of all time utilized it.
I love my life but I am convinced my life would be nearly meaningless without the work. If I lost both of my legs tomorrow I would pullup until I pullup mog the earth. If I was quadriplegic I would go full Stephen Hawking in pursuit of knowledge. The gym saved my life.
>first signs
You can tell by how you feel each morning at first. When you get up you can feel how heavy your body is. You don't want to get out of bed at all and you can feel you need more rest but there's no way you can go back to sleep >it's getting bad
If you ignore that part you start getting colds way more often and you're at least a little sore all the time. You always feel ready to take a nap but can't seem to unless you're completely wound down. >last chance to stop
If you ignore that part too you start getting horrible insomnia and your joints constantly hurt. You lose your appetite entirely and even if you stuff your face no amount of food feels like it's helping you feel better. >point of no return
If you ignore this far you'll end up with permafricked sleep patterns, joints that don't work properly anymore, and weird illnesses that no doctor can help you with from the damage that the excessive stress caused you manifesting in breaking the weakest points in your body; for me it was my elbows and my lungs. They're fricked and they'll never be the same. >death
If you keep pushing further than that you'll end up with organ failure if your joints don't completely break first. Goggins during his first ultramarathon and the deaths of Bruce Lee and Scott Murray being some examples of what happens when you push so far you actually hit your genuine limit
Thanks for the wisdom. I feel great when I wake up with my current routine. Ill keep on keeping on then. Now I know what signs to look for if I start overworking.
Yes. I have severe body dysmorphia. I have to like "prepare" my body before even leaving my house because I want to look super jacked and impressive. And so I'll exercise for hours at night and then do a quick full body workout in the morning to get a pump going throughout my body so that I fill out my clothes more. I'm sick - I know. I feel like I need to take hard drugs or something in order to completely wipe and reset my super neurotic and self-conscious brain.
I'm not in the powershitter category yet, but I gained 15 lbs in 2 months, and lost 10 to be 188 in Oct.
I hate the gym/eating well, but the thought of being incapable of defending myself/or doing difficult things pisses me off.
I just work out until I can easily toss heavy things around, stop for like 2-3 months per year and then get disgusted struggling to lift something usually done in pairs or trios.
20% laziness, 60% maintenance, 20% repression or some shit. it works.
Sounds like overtraining. Take three weeks off. Then do the following program
Day 1: >Flat Chest press >Pull down >Horizontal Row >Lateral Raises >Bent over Raises
Day 2-3: rest
Day 4: >Squat (standard Back, Front, or machine, no low back or split squat variations) or Leg Extension >Leg Curl >Toe Press >Bilateral Curl with a curl machine, dumbells, or a straight barbell >Triceps Extension >Wrist Flexion >Wrist Extension
Day 5-7: rest
One set per exercise.
4-2-4 cadence.
Each set taken to failure. True failure. You keep doing reps until you cannot complete a rep with the same form.
Take no more time than is absolutely necessary to rest between exercises.
You shouldn't be spending more than a half hour in the gym on both days of the workout.
It's just a habit for me. Calling it an "addiction" is like calling brushing your teeth an addiction. Or wiping your ass after shitting an addiction. Yeah you could live without it but why.
>exercise addiction
Yes totally. I work out at lunch and my body is now addicted to the break in the day. Clears up your head nice, makes for a great workday.
>Anyone here develop exercise addiction ?
I stopped lifting for a year and picked it back up at the beginning of August. The gains I lost are already pretty much back, plus some. I benched 225 for the first time in my life. I feel awesome all the time. I forgot how much I love lifting. I come home, pal around with my infant son for a few hours to give my wife a break, and then i lift. I'll pause my workout to bathe him and then I'll lift some more. It totally decompresses me, I don't have a bad work life but my wife is going to be a stay at home mom for a while, probably until the little man goes to school, so work has an extra edge of stress that wasn't there before. It also helps that everyone's noticed that im getting in shape, lots of flattering remarks from coworkers and friends. If I could lift non stop I absolutely would. The hardest thing for me getting back into this is giving myself rest days.
My should has been fricked for over a week. I only been able to do some ab workouts and deep stretches.
It was crazy not being able to lift some plates.
I pulled a muscle in my hip and had to skip leg day for a week. Also only did core on leg day for that week. Letting your body heal works so much better in the long run. Last time I didnt I ended up with a pinched nerve in my hip.
about 3 months in, I've started to "need" the gym. If for some reason (time, previous event) I'm going to miss the gym I get anxious. If I'm bored I'll just lift start exercising. Helps that I have a home gym.
I think what started it was when I switched to a PPL routine and essentially workout 7 days/week, do 6 days PPLPPL and yoga/cardio on day 7
no i hate going to the gym. just do the lifts and get out 5x a week
so boring
My life is falling apart and being in the gym every day is basically the one thing I have to look forward to
literally me

>have considered myself pretty schizoid since I was in highschool
>am 30 now, all of this has only become more baked-in to who I am as a person
ok thats literally me man
Damn all of that is literally me. Thanks Dr. Anon
Literally me. The IST hivemind strikes again
fricking hell, thought i was schizotypal. main difference. normies say schizoids have no desire socially at all. after seeing this, it seems like its not the case
Lmao all of this shit is just normal human behavior at some point or another. Zoomers sure are gullible.
delusional or coping
Isn't that just work?
Compulsive behavior I mean

Sex with white women
I lifted 3 times a day every day. Permafricked my body. Be sure to temper yourself bro
Wtf were you a neet????
Nah I worked 6 hours 5 days per week. I'd exercise in the morning, right after work, and then again like 4 hours later
Based. I can't miss a day bros . I love restricting calories and exercising
Are you a big guy?
For you
How do you know if you are working out to much?
>first signs
You can tell by how you feel each morning at first. When you get up you can feel how heavy your body is. You don't want to get out of bed at all and you can feel you need more rest but there's no way you can go back to sleep

you morons need new hobbies
league of legends isn't a hobby?
Yes. I have severe body dysmorphia. I have to like "prepare" my body before even leaving my house because I want to look super jacked and impressive.

Lifting became an antidepressant and I started finding roid mutants of both sexes attractive. Guess I'm hooked for life.

BORN TO SHIT. FORCED TO WIPE, BROTHER!!!
ARROOOOOOO!!!
Finished my workout and arms feel warm and just a little tired. I wish I could keep going and do more reps.
If you looked like pic rel I'd be addicted too
I don't get it but imagine if i.looked like that lol
As the amount of prostitutes and prostitutedom increases in society, my desire to form human connections and to have sex decreases.
