What was the last notable thing you've accomplished IST?
For me it was making it to 1pl8 on OHP. I am also proud of my weighted pullups.
Other than that. I guess I beat this guy in chess when he had a 7pt advantage at one point, that was pretty cool.
I just did 5 eccentric nordic curls with a 10kg plate today, does that count?
sometimes the littlest things are the biggest accomplishments. for the first time I got my new 9-5 office job, I went a full two weeks of lifting/cycling daily, eating well, and not drinking during on weekdays. Insignificant to some, yes, but monumental for me.
Nice one anon, proud of you.
hell yeah son.
I started really working out 3 weeks ago. 10lbs down. ppl, 6 days/week. Was an alcoholic (~500ml/day), shit-life. Not a blog post so had some changes in my life, stopped drinking, it's been about a month and a half since I stopped with some slipups. First Friday I didn't drink a single drop. Up this saturday AM, already worked out and the sun isn't even up, I've never been so ecstatic. I feel like the whole world is ahead of me today.
Congrats anon, shit's wonderful when you rise above your current self, even if its just a little.
Nice anon. Must be a great feeling to know you can only get better than your previous best.
Well done anon, for me has been how my body has evolved since then
>Used to not being able to run for shit to save my life when i was younger
>Now i can go for a cardio jogging of decent time
>Couldn't make any push ups in my entire teenage years
>Now i could manage to do standar push ups, aiming to accomplish the 1 arm push ups and diamond push ups
Feels good man
Congratulations guys
I didn't work out in almost 3 years, but was fed up with my shitty lifestyle and physique about a month ago. I eat less and have lost a small amount of weight (still optimising the diet), but I am just in awe of how quickly I got my strength back. My first workout was brutal af, I literally had to go to sleep due to exhaustion after two exercises (home gym), but a month later I am almost at the point I was 3 years ago with weights and all that. I wasn't lifting much weight back then, but I was fit and had a nice physique (~13kg less), so it feels good to have developed and regained that much in that short amount of time.
Finally managed to get 50kg ohp 5x5. Going to try 1pl8 1rm next time.
Also did a 3 pl8 deadlift last week.
Yes I'm a dyel rail, but I'm happy anons. We're all gonna make it.
my last impressive thing lets see
i fasted for like 24 hours today, i hit 325 on bench in January this year.
I hit 95kg for five reps on bench on Wednesday
Girl I'm crushing on is talking to Mr more after I made a point to try harder to show my interest I also ran a sub 6 mile for the first time since high school recently
Had a few. Old as frick now but the last real thing i did was skiing in the free skiing world tour event in girdwood alaska
I lost my virginity to a cute, but crazy, 19 years old girl when I was 28. This was before I started lifting
Same thing happened to me, only I was 23 and she was 16 (fully developed breasts & body, discord trannies will call me a pedo).
Hard to describe what this did to me. I know it sounds cringe as frick, but she kissed me awake. Even though it was only a ONS, the feeling of intimacy, being close to a girl, smelling what her hair feels like, feeling her body, that was so much more to me than even just the sex itself.
"Confidence" boost is a part of it, but it's more groundbreaking than that. Validating, motivating, I don't know any words how to describe what this made me feel. Made me get my shit together for the first time in my life, seems like something comparable happened to you.
virginbros, ygmi
You're not a pedo, but you're still fricked in the head for that and never gonna make it. Imagine thinking it's okay to frick a literal kid as a 23 year old
fricking americans I swear
how did you have a one night stand with a 16 year old at 23
The most important question is left unanswered...
I finally added 2 reps to my pull up after being stuck at 8-10 reps for 2 years
not killing myself
>This
Every day is a win when you wake up and make it through.
90kg barbell row 6 reps. Almost at 2 plates.
I don't get the 1pl8 ohp thing that was my starting weight for 5 reps. Hate ohp though gives a lot of dodgy pains.
130kg atlas stone one motion yesterday.
2 reps with 140kg, only just missed the 3rd
Both to a 4ft platform
I went for a run in public.
I live in a very IST city, and always dreamed of someday having the confidence to run with my shirt off.
I'm not quite there yet, but I did run several miles to downtown and back, just cause it was such a pretty day.
>picrel
Which city? Looks pretty
Looks like Jacksonville, but I'm just guessing
I've been going to the gym for 6 months now, and on a diet for about 8 months.
I've lost about 40 lbs going from 230 to hovering around 185-190
My eating has improved tons. Home cooked meals, almost completely cut out processed food. I have like 1 drink/week
My lifts haven't increased a ton (I think because I've been cutting so hard. 1800 cal a day while hitting gym 6 days a week)
Yesterday was my first day of maintenance calories. Time to get swole
Gained 10lbs this year which is a good start, want to gain 10 more and that's it.
Nothing notable but trying to get to the point I can beat my personal best of biking 500km in 12h. Regularly averaging over 35kph on longer rides without pushing hard which is so nice.
Had sex
Was she cute?
>she
Yea she is 2 year older and also female.
i deadlifted 220kg like 10 years ago then quit gym not long after, trying to get back into the swing of things now but its quite depressing
I haven’t had any soda or sweets in two weeks. The first two days with no sugar made me depressed. That shit is addicting like a drug. I’m only just now starting to lose my cravings for it.
I went from doing 0 pull ups and being overweight to banging out 10 clean ones. It ain't much but I'm proud
Nice, progressing pull-ups is such a good feeling
done 10k steps and went to the gym everyday this week, all because I just moved into a new place with some chick so I can't be a fat alcoholic stoner anymore
In the last 3 weeks I've pulled 580x3 and 570x4 out of nowhere
For context my best single is 600 and previous best triple was 535
Rode 350km on my velo in one day
Did my first 7-day gym week. It was a trial but I'm already seeing massive improvements on my lifts and swimming stamina
Its kinda a catch 22 but now most of my clothes don't fit well. All my shit is baggy on me now. On one hand awesome I am slimming down. On the other I am a cheap israelite and I fricking hate buying new clothes.
Other then that being able to bang out 20 push ups easily even though I am still heavy is nice.
50 mile run in one go
damn miring
Pulled 365x2 yesterday after only deadlifting once in the last nearly 4 years
I just got a good job offer after being a NEET for the past few yrs. Feels good and I'm genuinely optimistic on my life trajectory for the first time in a long time.
what is a good job offer to you
i accomplished 1/2/2.5
i'm not there yet in terms of squats but i'll be better!
i lost my virginity but that's not that important, i'm more proud of lifting this year than that
currently doing well in uni
so that's it
no deads?
I have, by the grace of God, been raising my voice with my wife less often, even when she does the 'oh no he's right' I'll have to make him lose his temper and cling to that" hail Mary that used to always work on me.
50 push-ups and one one arm push up
Secret to one arm? Can't figure them out
8 mile run in 1:00:30, 10 mile run in 1:22:00, or half marathon all without any structured training plan and knowing very little about nutrition.
5 minute mile in highschool …
Now I am 272lbs and 6’1
Bought an investment property
A 5pl8 dead is cool(I'm at 3+, 4atg, 5), but making mad money is better
I am almost certainly the unofficial and unverified world record holder for the person that has gone the longest period of time without eating food of any kind that is currently alive today. The world will likely never give a shit if they knew or they would not believe me if they knew, but I know and my family knows.
wtf is that dude standing on
