    I'm 28, 60 kg and started lifting a few months ago. If I eat right and continue pushing my body, I will look very good by 30. Most people in their 30s look like shit, so it's never too late.

    A lot of people hit a plateau at some point, so it makes no difference in the end of the day.

    I worked out between 16~19 years old and looked like garbage, them I stopped working out during the pandemic and got back to my lifting routine the start of this year at 22. I am currently doing my best lifting progress in my life, Benching 205lbs on the incline for 6 reps while my max at 17~ was a 135lbs bench for 10 reps.

    stfu. you have 60 good years ahead of you to get in shape. and to be honest I think your assessment of late is innacurate. I believe the majority only get fit or start to think about their health between 25-30 when their body can't keep up with a shitty lifestyle any longer and they begin to reach age milestones. in summary shut the frick up and lift.

      I wonder how much of it is in our heads? I feel blackpilled some days, but short of late 30s, there’s plenty of time to make it. I’m 22 and can bench right around 2pl8lmao at 170 ish, and I still feel ngmi.

      At your age, starting an anti-aging skincare routine is more important and will be more useful in the long run. Unless you're ok with only fricking 25+ year old women.

      Is this necessary right now if you live low stress and barely go out in the sunlight (and also not white, tho with relatively light skin)? Feels like a hassle to get a tret prescription so young, although I think that might help my acne a bit.

    You're just in time to start your lifting journey. Most (99%) of guys after 30 look like complete shit.
    That being said, if you don't have a solid lifting base by 30 (same goes for your career), then you're most likely NGMI.

    I have been starting and stopping since I was 15 years old and Its been 10 years hahaha but recently, about 2 years ago I started again but chill, no pressure just do something and Its the longest I ve been without stopping.
    As someone who has done the shit of going to the gym all in supplements, lifting heavier each session until failure and then stopped going after 4-6 months,just dont.
    OR IF YOU DO, and the time comes when you dont feel like going to the gym because you feel weak/numbers arent improving, just go to the gym, LIGHT WEIGHTS,some cardio, go back home.
    Just dont stop going and dont eat like shit.

    there's a pretty easy way to stop obsessing about it:

    Step 01) Take the self pity wiener out of your mouth
    Step 02) Take the woe is me dick out of your ass
    Step 03) refrain from putting the wiener back into your throat as soon as it's taken out.
    Step 04) refrain from taking the dick back into your worm infested colon as soon as it's taken out.
    Step 05) Realize that reaching 80% of your peak lifting goals only requires 3 years of non-stop lifting progression. You're not early, but you're not as late as you think you are either. Get to lifting, eating and sleeping. You demoralized homosexual.

    I remember going to the gym at like 18, went for 2 months then stopped for basically 7 years, wish I didn't stop but I was a poorgay at the time and went unemployed so I couldn't really afford it, I was also a vidya addict.
    I got back at 25 and been going for 6 months now. It's kinda crazy when I look back at it and now I understand when people say the brain only fully develops at 25+. I'm planning catch-up game now but oh well, it is what it is.
