dang I guess that what happens when you get into IST later into adulthood
The TV running in the background was a fricking divine intervention if I've seen seen one.
I'll be 35 in a few months and I've started "lifting" at 20. I can pretty much claim I'm at my natty peak.
Needless to say I mog 99% of men 30+ and pretty much all zoomers since everyone is at least skinnyfat.
I'm not balding which I am very grateful for. If you are balding then it's pretty much over looks-wise.
Advice to newbies - stay consitent over the years and you'll be rewarded. Don't expect to look good if you're lifting for less than 3 years. Don't go over 15% bodyfat.
Not looking my ISTtest right now because I’m nearing the end of my final winter bulk.
> how much has it realistically changed your life/outlook on life?
Not much. Life goes on. People make positive comments or ask questions about how I did it. When I meet new people they are more friendly and respectful to me.
>Do you wish you got fit years before and think life would be different if you had?
I was fit-ish until about age 27 - it was really just 27 to 32 where I became unfit. My life was still very good, but I enjoy exercise and feel more positive and energetic when I’m exercising regularly.
This is correct and I’m already pushing it.
These guys get it. My wife is a great person. Younger guys undervalue how important that is. Once you’re in your 30s and 40s it is so obvious, especially when you meet people who married poorly. That shit will ruin your life.
Forgot pic because I am a boomer.
lookin good anon, how old are you now?
Do you shave the midsection or it just grows in that pattern?
You look scrawny like teenager in highschool learned to do pushups tier train more also your nipples look gynoie
>35
>fit in my 20s.
>Found a woman

>two kids.
>Gained 66lbs weight
currently trying to get fit again

Just eat less.
t. former fatty who lost 100lbs
>finally get IST
>get labeled as murderer
how do I avoid this, bros??
Don't murder.
I'm so sick of these unrealistic beauty standards for men
bump
Don't tolerate chicken nuggets to the head
I wish I got fit before of course who wouldn’t? But I don’t get hung up on it. I kept trying to lift in the past but never got a long term routine. I’m 37 and I’ve lifted consistently for 2 years and I feel great. There is no point in mourning the past and what you didn’t do, I just know that in five years I’ll wish I lifted now. Feels good.
I'm 31 and always I've been meeting women my age. How to meet younger pussy? I don't club (hyperacusia, cant stand the musix) and I don't do apps, and I'm moronic at night pickups.
Day pickups on the street seems to work for me, but I wanna hear from you guys whats working.
to anons in this thread: do you think it is possible for a woman to be a late bloomer or are her best years truly behind her after 25? and i dont just mean aesthetically but as a functional contributor to society
You could be slim in 2 years, a year to meet someone and a gear stable so could start making babies by 29. But you ow it to your kids to find the best man
If you haven't "made it" by 30, whatever that means for a woman; congratulations, you are basically a man now. A shitty, weak, effeminate man. Welcome to hell, and don't forget that you wanted this
You've got 5 years basically. If you've got god tier genetics you may get another 2 after that. Better get the frick to work, and hurry the frick up and have children unless you want autistic tards.
Your choice is the same as for men in that regard: being unhappy for the rest of your life that you didn't get to have the good years while you were younger, or working for it to make the rest of your life the best it can be.
Having children and a getting a significant other is the most time-sensitive part of this. While you can go back to school, hustle and work your ass off at any age of, the energy, time and availability of options does decrease slower than for family.
Don't self-sabotage by overthinking why you can't or couldn't get your life on track to be what you want. Write up how you wish your life would be in 2 years, and how you could get there. And then work your ass off to be the person you want to be.
>Actual good advice for roasties incoming
Not every man is red pilled about women. There are a lot of lonely morons on with good jobs that would happily marry a +30 woman who looks good and acts like a loving virgin wife.
Eat healthy, Lose the weight, build the ass. Pay for a good boob job if you can afford it.
But the most important part: learn from your past mistakes and don't look only for chads.
They know you and they will not take you seriously unless they are a Lot older than you.
your body may bloom but your personality will wither, that sort make the most vindicative type
I don't think she'll turn into a flaming c**t just because she gets in shape and does something positive with her life, anon.
This is IST, the majority of people here seem to hate women, or at least the loudest homosexuals do.
Nice digits by the way.
Lots of bitter men will crow about how you're finally down on their level but they have no idea how vast the gap is between men and women's ease of finding relationships. You're completely fine as long as you aren't a fat single mother and even then a long line of doofuses will be along to take care of you. If you want a chad though you'll have to look out for dark horse late bloomers.
w/e it is what it is
despite all the blackpill shit on IST, 30s is still relatively young. Most men don't really have their shit together until mid 30s. I'm early 30s and working on losing excess fat. I'm feeling more confident and happier with the process even though I'm not at my desired body fat % yet.
Turned 30 last year and was fricking around with being IST since about 28. Started getting serious with it last year and feel better than ever both physically and mentally.
>how much has it realistically changed your life/outlook on life?
Quite a lot.
Becoming more stoic, embracing the struggle, setting high goals for myself has made me a much better person. I dare say it has finally made me a man.
>Do you wish you got fit years before
Hell yes
> and think life would be different if you had?
It would have been different in "quality of life" aspects, but getting fit wouldn't have changed my fate.
>t. Started lifting at 30
>Bulked for 2.5 years
>did a cut when covid started (fasting 3 days a week)
>Right pic taken shortly before my 33rd birthday
>Wouldn't kill my wife and kids even even if hot cougar coworkers chased me offering me buttsex. Wouldn't cheat on my wife for anything either.
Not even for a Klondike bar?
A good wife is worth more than her weight in gold
Fasting is fundamentally different from going low -cal because "restricting calories" lowers your metabolism whereas "time-restricted eating" doesn't.
If anyone tells you that "fasting is just CICO", they're either uninformed or are israelites.
With that out of the way:
>2 fasting days a week will be enough for consistent weight loss. (1 day a week is for maintenance and 3 days a week - if you want to go fast)
>Fasting days don't have to be consecutive but it's better if they are
>You can and should exercise while fasted if you want to prevent muscle loss. I've done squats at 90% of my 5 rep max on my second consecutive fasting day
>You will lose some strength while cutting -fasting is no exception. If your 1RM drops by over 15% - take some weeks to recover your strength before fasting again.
>If you find yourself suffering while fasting, then it's GOOD. You are paying the price for your previous indulgence
>My rule of thumb is that i lose 300 grams of FAT per fasting day. The weight loss on the scale is more than that, 300g is what goes away forever with each day you fast
Sounds good. Thanks, man.
>If anyone tells you that "fasting is just CICO", they're either uninformed or are israelites.
based, fasting is great
>did a cut when covid started (fasting 3 days a week)
I'm gonna try 2 day fasts between my gym days. I going hard low-cal worked for a bit, but makes it hard to maintain brain power for work after day 2-3 even with electrolytes.

what are your stats/lifts?
In the "after" pic it was
>Not doing ohp.. maybe 5 reps @ 40kg
>bench 100kg 1rm
>Squat 130kg 1rm
>Deadlift 135kg 3rm
>15 chin ups in a row
186cm
78kg bodyweight
In the "before" pic i weighed 93kg and my lifts were all slightly lower
you lift you look like shit dude and you still got gyno
Honestly who cares?
I already had "gyno" on my baby photos.
Not gonna do surgery because that's for trannies
Why did he do it bros, it just doesn't make sense
anal
Elaborate
His side chick let him do anal and his wife just couldn't compete. I bet she did ass to mouth too.
PSA to women out there: if you're in a relationship and you're not letting your man frick you however he likes he WILL find someone else to please him (and he will murder you and your child)
$100 says you have a penis as tiny as your IQ.
$100 says you're a malding roastie who can't pick up on an obviously joking anon
got memed into doing HIT for a year when i turned 30 and now im like an untrained homosexual. i don't even know how to gradually come back to volume.
use it or lose it is true. If you have momentum you can make it.
I started at 25, which feels late enough. Going to be a year next month. I've lost a lot of weight, but now I've just gone from fat ass, to looking like a DYEL with a slight pot belly. Only a few kilos from a healthy BMI.
Bro I didn't slam dunk for the first time until I was in my 40s
Access the Life Force, young blood
Thanks, Bryan
Didn’t start lifting seriously until after 30 because I got a new job that’s fairly sedentary. Was always strong by Borneo standards and in decent shape, but I got very strong, and went from dad bod to old school chub boxer physique in the first year, cutting now to get that big and lean look. Health wise all my normal aches, my “bad knee” and shoulder issues etc. have all more or less disappeared and I now know it’s because the surrounding muscles weren’t doing their part. Wake up with more energy, sleep better, just all around better I guess.
he needs to work on his pushup form, flaring his elbows like that is asking for trouble
he'll have plenty of time for that in prison though
His workout was bullshit.
He was probably in roids and roidraged as he murdered his family.
When you're young you have to conquer your education and career and gotta find a woman and have kids and buy a house and try to maintain all of that. By the time you are mid 30s or 40s you can really focus on health which is nice. It's easier to focus on fitness as I'm older but it's also easier to lose. When I was younger I could drink 24 beers and then get up and run a mile no problem. Now it fricks my metabolism for a week if I eat like shit one day.
>When you're young you have to conquer your education and career and gotta find a woman and have kids and buy a house and try to maintain all of that. By the time you are mid 30s or 40s you can really focus on health which is nice.
then tell me why it is the opposite 90% of the time
Because we live in an overpopulated mouse "utopia". Young men choose to groooooom themselves instead of going though the trouble of dating
Started at 34. I had my shit together (wife and a kid) though. In a sense my son was the reason I started. It hasn't changed my outlook on life (I was single for most of my 20s and the blackpills you swallow during that stay with you for life), but it does make me feel substantially better mentally. I'm less anxious and I have an easier time getting things done. I do wish I had started earlier for this reason, it would have made life easier. But once you have kids you tend to spend very little time looking back.
Is the power of a woman's butthole really THAT strong bros? I'm fricking shaking scared of anal hoes.
I was fit for most of my 20s, was in the Marines.
Got out at 28, got fat. Started getting back in shape at 35, will be 37 soon.
It hasn't changed my life or outlook much. I think about killing myself less often I guess, but that's probably the therapy (turns out I got the ol' ptsd) more than getting in shape. I wish I hadn't let myself go after I got out, but not that badly, wasn't a big deal really. No I don't think my life would be materially different.
started at 28, never lifted a weight in my life ever once in high school or after, i am 39 now and still making gains though i really wish i had started earlier.
36yo anon here.
You've got to be more careful about exercise, but that's what everyone should do. Once you tear some muscle, that little fricker is going to pester you for years. So, yeah, leave more time for rest, that's the main piece of advice, I suppose.
On the other hand, it feels really good to slam that 20s (or even teen!) pussy. My previous gf was 25, and the sex was reeeeally good. And the good thing is that you still have time, a lot of it (unless you're balding, sorry, baldbros, I really feel for you, but - tough luck), unlike women.
Sorry, I'm drunk. Anyways, life's good here, don't be afraid of getting older.
Started lifting in my late forties as a fat alcoholic ruin of a man. Quit drinking and cleaned up my diet. Lost a ton of weight, gained some muscles, got visible abs. Learned about skincare for the first time in my life.
I'm now past 50. I recently met up with some mates I haven't seen in some time and their first comment was
>WTF dude you look like a thirty year old!
I'll take a compliment when I get one, but damn I wish I would have started few decades earlier.
We could be twins. All except you met up with old friends. I dont have friends anymore. Anyway, I went from 230 to 145 lbs. Honestly, I feel a bit dumbfounded. I been heavy my entire life until I changed at 47.
Congrats on saving your life
Started lifting at 34 and it was the best decision i ever made. I do wish i would have started earlier, but looking back i was in no position to do so. I was surrounded by horrible people, crippled by depression, and poor. Plus internet was still new and reliable nutrition/lifting science was difficult to find. Downside is, i am WAY more attractive now, and my wife has stayed kinda the same. Im getting opportunities with hotter ladies that i cant take and thats the most frustrating thing ive ever experienced.
I'm 31 and I've been trying to get started for several years. Now that I'm living on my own I've actually managed to push myself to at least start calisthenics and dieting, and even after only a week or two I've started feeling better about myself and my body. I'm already down a few pounds, and I'm trying to work on upper muscle strength (I've already got enough leg exercise biking to and from work). My ultimate goal is to get ottermode.
But yeah, I think that I share the same sentiment as a few other people in here: I wish I had started sooner.
Also, don't be a murderer.
'yea I'm running through a full season of NHL '94. I'm twenty games in and I can't put the controller down. I got a good deal on a Sega Genesis with a turbo controller and the game at a local swap. what's that? oh yea the kids, geez I really miss them. well, I gotta get back. oil see you later. did I say oil? haha that's weird. lmk if you hear from my wife too.'
Lifted on and off since I was a young kid. I'm 33 now and have been going at it for two years. Definitely get laid more and get more attention. Don't really care if I had started sooner, because I gained some valuable insight being a fat frick. Also stronger than I was when I was 23/24 and in the Army. It's also cool being the fittest one and all of your friends are embracing being a lazy fatass. And all of the women in your age range are going to opt for you since you're the best physically. Unless the want to go for a dude much younger, but most still are chasing their little marriage dream lol. Also I feel like picking it up later in life makes it more of a habit than a casual hobby. Id rather start in my 30s and do it the rest of my life as opposed to being swole for a few years in my 20s then giving up. just do it either way.
38, i'm kind of at a crossroads on what to do fitness wise.
i spent most of my 30s doing bjj as my primary exercise. now 2 kids getting older i really can't deal with injuries anymore, as well as rigid schedules. it kind of hit me when i was teaching my oldest how to ice skate a few weeks ago that i couldn't even fit my foot in a skate for a couple of months because some ass decided to crank a toe hold full blast in fricking training.
i spent my 20s lifting and honestly i have shit muscle building genetics, and lifting is boring. i'm thinking of swimming and getting into bodyweight shit.
i dont know anymore.
> Trail running
> Cycling / Mountain biking
> Very simple/quick strength program
I'm 2 years older than you and this is enough for me. You still get a certain amount of injuries though.
Do you really want younger women? 31 year old women are peak.
Yes but unmarried 31 y/o are increasingly bitter, woke and feminist around here with no end in sight. The good ones are married already, hence why I'm looking for younger ones who have less exposure to this /misc/ bullshit.
On a side note, coupled women are looking and engaging with me since I began taking care of myself
>On a side note, coupled women are looking and engaging with me since I began taking care of myself
Kek, my neighbours wife started feeling me out once I got my shit in order.
Being as socially inept as I am, I couldn't bring myself to ruin their relationship by having her cheat on him, or tell him and they'd break up (they have two kids). Instead I got him to work out with me, he's lost a lot of weight, and she's backed off again.
You are a true bro among men. Well done.
>and engaging with me
What do you mean?
I've been relatively successful despite not being fit in my younger years. But I was unfit in the outgoing, drug using, partying type of way, not the obese neet incel way. I started lifting and taking gear after getting married and having kids and it hasn't improved my life in the slightest tbqh. I enjoy it though. I wish I'd started lifting and doing steroids in my 20's though, where I'd have had more opportunity to flex on it.
>how much has it realistically changed your life/outlook on life?
A lot. Better mental health, enjoy life more and generally being more positive about the future.
>Do you wish you got fit years before
Yeah, but I wish more that I had the willpower to actually stay fit when I was on a roll. Might be some advice for the youngens: Stay on it. Doesn't matter what you do. Lifting, cycling, swimming, basketball. Do something that keeps you in shape and gets your heart pumping a few times a week and do not stop.
>Do you think life would be different if you had
Not drastically. But I would've managed a few setbacks much easier. Good phyiscal and mental health can do wonders when life fists you with lemons.
>be 42yo boomergay
Had phases where I lifted over the last 10 years or so. Usually 6-8 months. But then I either got injured or life got in the way and I quit doing anything for a while.
Great thread middle age gays. Bits of wisdom in every post. Defo going to keep working out into my late 20s 30s
40s is where the rubber meets to road.
We men have the advantage that age damages us a lot less than women.
A fit 37yo succesful woman would lose againts an average early 20s woman.
A fit 37yo succesful man would win againts an
average early 20s man.
>turn 32 in two weeks
>been doing SS since October
>knee pain has completely vanished
Now I just need to quit drinking
49, started doing some serious kettlebelling last autumn. Have recently included pushups and pullups too. Never was a slob but was a bit skinnyfat.
Getting psychogically obliterated by a narcissistic woman helped muster up motivation too.
Wished I had started sooner ofc but I enjoy the challenge of starting late. Wouldn't advise it to anyone tho, as not everyone has the luxury of being able to be a lifetime NEET.
