I cant take it anymore
Im constantly obsessing over the fact that I only started lifting in my 20s
I see people who are like 18 and have noticeably big muscles and my mind immediately goes into regret and sorrow over the fact that I waited so long to start lifting
Ill be in the gym then think to myself "if only I had started 5 years earlier Id have a good body right now"
how the frick do 30 year old beginners do it
why do you think you're in a race with 18 year olds? they already have you beat in most regards. It's not worth obsessing over
btw I'm Trans, not sure if that matters
OP here THIS QUEER homosexual is NOT ME. I am NOT TRANS
I am the real OP and I can assure you that I am, in fact, trans.
There's one particular picture of myself at 20 that breaks my heart thinking how much better off I'd be if I had started then. But all we can do is move forward.
You're all homosexuals with female minds
It really is mind blowing isn't it
Don't worry about getting into lifting too late, op. Since you're trans, you should try rope exercises. Roughly 40% of trannies do it so it must work
I'm NOT. FRICKING. TRANS you ABSOLUTE fricking homosexual
WTF
OP here. I don't know why this person is pretending to be me, but I am 100% trans
So how about comparing yourself to those 18 year olds, compare yourself to those fat 28 year olds who haven't started lifting
comparing yourself to people worse than you does nothing but inflate your ego, which leads to complacency and worse performance
comparing yourself to people better than you does nothing but deflate your ego, which leads to insecurity and worse performance
OP here once again. I have decided to start lifting so that my body shapes up better. I'm really hoping this will enhance the effects of my HRT and then I can get those fit 18 year old boys.
Just compare yourself to yourself a year ago. Comparing yourself to others is a pointless waste of time. Guessing this a zoomer/genalpha troll thread tho
I used to workout when I was 19. had a lesion and stopped altogether thinking it wasn't for me. tried again when I was 22 but had no information about nutrition or proper training.
nowadays it's way easier to get (good) information online. I'm 34 and been lifting for 2 years now. it's been rough and it barely looks like I lift, but it's better than being obese.
There'll always be pepole ahead of you, in muscle, social standing, money, etc.
There's a guy who started working out at 12 yrs old and will always mog you, there's a guy who was born with god-tier genetics and there's a guy who was born with rich parents living life on easy mode.
And while they all may be "ahead" of you, in muscle, money, whatever, the one thing that they will never be ahead in is being (you).
Learn to take pride in who you are, love yourself, your stuggles and successes are things unique to you.
or blast tren
You would have gotten old anyway, you weak-minded frick. Better to lift now and be happy with what you have, you fricking rat. You putz.
You can't expect the same level of progress when you are on HRT, don't worry sweetie
Comparing yourself to others is a waste of time. There will always be people that mog you in any aspect, and there will always be people that you mog. And it just doesn't fricking matter.
What you should be doing is comparing yourself today to yourself yesterday. Are you better today than you were yesterday in some way? Good, that's called progress. Keep going. Are you worse? Figure out why and fix it.
Now stop being a whiny b***h. Demoralizer threads are for homosexuals.
You only get one life and you already fricked up maybe a quarter of it.
Get used to being mogged OP
It’s ok though, without people like you, the rest of us would have nobody to look down on
You know I have this thought occasionally as well, I got decently fit in like 2 years and if I had started at like 18 my 20s may have been much better.
But on the other hand the main reason I didn't lift back then was because I had a string of hot gfs that made me think I didn't really need to be all that buff, I was never fat or anything so I considered myself healthy and hot enough since I was obviously still landing girls, some of which stuck around for years, had a good friend group as well.
One of the reasons I started lifting in the first place is all of that being more or less gone, and once I got fit I can't go back to how I was. I look better than I ever have, but part of me wonders what's the point if my reflection in the mirror is all I have to show for it.
idk why I'm even blogposting, don't get stuck in the past anons, it's not a fun place to be, even it it was fun when it happened.
Still wonder if these thread are real
i don't care either way
you fricking loser
it's just lifting, who gives a shit
do I have to explain myself to you or can I just summarize with saying you are moronic? don't feel like lecturing zoomers rn
It's fricking over for you
Did some gym stuff in HS, then started in earnest after turning 30.
Focus on the improvements you make, not those of others.
30 year old beginners do it by having more wisdom (supposedly, clearly IDK in this case) than zoomers. The best time to start is now, always. Focus on what you can do EACH AND EVERY DAY. If you focus too much on the future, you're going to have anxiety. If you live in the past, you're going to feel depressed. If you don't want to live a life of regret, then live today - it's all you CAN do.
If only this if only that
I should’ve done this and I shouldn’t have said that
Frick it, dude. let’s hit the gym.
When is the best time to plant a tree?
When is the second best time?
Who cares. You got twink looks when young
You think that's bad? I started lifting when I was 16 to help me cope with schizophrenia, and I even started getting pretty big, and then I became homeless, lost all of my gains, lost my will to carry on, and then recovered anyway but never gained the urge back to start lifting until recently.
I went from decently lean muscle, slowly building up to dl 150lb, bench 125, and squat 145 to skeleton who can't squat 45 more than 3 times. I'm not fricking joking, I cannot squat 45lbs. I can see the fricking BONES IN MY FRICKING ARMS, I CAN FEEL THE BONES IN MY SPINE
Start taking clonazepam (chill pill) and keep hitting the gym
No one cares about muscles. It’s all about height and face
No woman* cares about muscle
Why are people replying to this fake and gay thread
>Obsessing with negative thoughts
>Obsessing with positive thoughts
Yep. Glad I started late teens so I ACTUALLY get to play the "haha I look early 20s still" while being closer to 40 than 30. At least you didn't wait til late 30s or not start at all.
