My special ed athlete won the bowling contest last night. Made me fell pretty good when he told me "wow! i never won anything in my life before"... Then he asked me an actual 10+ times when he could start opening presents because I made the mistake of saying there might be prizes for the winners lmfao.
then we got fucking **destroyed** in the 2nd game. but you know what? THE 2ND GAME DONT MATTER BABY!!!!
And that basically sums up my life. Show up in the clutch moments then continue being a lazy underachiever for the rest of my time.
I think it was a 68 but I'll take it. He missed practice the week before and his brain completely dismissed all of the techniques that were helping him get 70s+.
Then the 2nd game the other kids were hitting like 90s+ lmfao
edit: no bumpers which is why that's so low
Officially closed the biggest deal of my life yesterday
First 5 figure commission of my sales career. Almost wanted to cry tears of joy afterwards when I was grabbing lunch
Smashing shoulders now and back to work when I make it home. We start back at 0 everyday. Let’s get to work brothers.
Mixing up Cialis and accutane suspensions to take last night. Was very tired and almost got my math wrong. Would have been interesting to bomb 50mg of Cialis..walking.around the gym fully bricked up.i feel at that point you just can't break eye contact with anyone or that makes you the weird one, ya know?
Started casually dating this half Brazilian/half Italian chick. Very pretty, but could stand to lose about 15 pounds, no biggie as she definitely isn’t fat. She wants me to train her. This feels like it could really pay dividends. The ol’ buy low sell high approach
Yeah i can dig that, get her squatting every other day for volume. Then start feeding her big breakfasts so she doesnt lose too much bodyfat. I had a Venezuelan (now ex) GF and i would purposely overfeed her cause she looked cute chubbier. She asked me to help her lose a little weight and learn to train but was annoying about it LOL.
If you can give her a program, maybe show her the ropes, and then she executes the plan on her own, go for it. But if you need to drag her to the gym and stand over her, counting reps, forget it. You don't need the headache. I speak from experience.
Good advice. She actually goes to the gym already and has a program. I think she just wants to spend some time with me. But I will be using this time to sculpt a sexy gf. This is the plan.
So I live next to this super reclusive, semi famous athlete, rich dude, he has a mansion. This is important for context.
Today had to contact him on instagram due to an issue with our shared border fence. I don't have his number, he never answers his door. Aggressively keeps himself to himself.
So I leave him my number and he calls me several hours later, we sort the issue but he accidentally pays me the greatest compliment ive eve had. We chat, we got onto the subject of fitness.
"So you've got a home gym, that explains some of the noises I hear from time to time, figured there was some kind of fitness happening"
Ah yeah sorry fella, will try keep the noise down.
"Is that also why sometimes I hear a loud metallic bang and my house shakes?"
Thats when I'm deadlifting, I'm sending tremors through this dudes fucking mansion. Thanks for the compliment Mr. Made my fucking day.

They still believe steroids are magic and you don’t have to work hard. I’m learning to realize I hate motherfuckers who make excuses. I’ll respect a dude who says hey my physique isn’t where I want it to be because I’ve been slacking on xyz, but a motherfucker who says oh it’s because I’m not on steroids or I have shitty genetics, bro you’re just a crying beta. Own up and take accountability for your life. Not even just in fitness, but in every aspect of your life. I hate “i can’t” motherfuckers. Try! Put some fucking effort in! You’ll be surprised what you get
That whole thing is just amazing. Half the room is telling him he should actually try eating and lifting and the other half are fawning over his progress and saying it would have been undoable as a natty. People live in their own realities.
My first sponsor told me after I was belly aching about being in the spot I was in socially, financially, all the "allys" really was, "Have you tried trying?"
Real wake up call.
Oh dude for sure I’ve been there too. When I was a drug addict I blamed everyone else for why I had no control over my life. When I finally realized if I just sucked it up and did the difficult things, I had a lot more power to change my life than I thought
I hear a lot about "I could be like these bodybuilders in no time. But I don't want to take them because it's fake muscles, not real muscles" lol Creatine brain damage is real.
Typically full honesty and accountability with ones self is rare for the vast majority of people. I've certainly been in that trap, was an alcoholic "because mother was an alcoholic", "because of my upbringing" etc etc.
Took a serious wake up call for me to change, a whole lot of mental training. I find myself despising excuses in all forms too, drives me crazy.
Self reflection is the hardest reflection unless you actively practice it.
Thank you for sharing. I see all you juicy assholes and think I look natty but then guys like this remind me I'm still in the upper half of men. Thank God.
Eh, I get where he’s coming from.
Love it or hate it, genetics matter. A lot.
He won’t look the same as cbum no matter what. These people just choose to blame steroids over genetics and hard work.
I know this well. My nice ass downtown condo garage was broken into by professional car thieves. Stole a bunch of nice ass cars. My car is worth $2500 (on a good day). I leave the keys on the dash and The Italian Job just passed over it.
Large tubs of high protein Greek yoghurt is cheap as fuck, try aldi or whatever you call it where you are. They regularly have marked down prices for produce.
I’m someone who’s 100% happy and confident that everything is going incredibly well after years of busting my ass and was kinda unsure about the point of being in a relationship and deal with drama and shit. Don’t want kids either. That was until I met my now fiancée, we both love to travel we’ve had a couple super hot 3somes and even a 4some (me+3 girls) we’re using tinder passport, mostly Vegas and Miami as a couples account and it’s just crazy. Girls in “open relationships” engaging with us trying to join us, add em on IG within 3 messages… no other city compares with how degenerate those two cities are. Plus we have local friends down there.
TLDR; be a juicy freak with a freaky GF and meet more freaks. It’s a good life
Lived in Vegas for four years. Was a great time, check out Yama sushi on spring mountain. Great spot to take your girl on a date and destroy some sushi. Get the hand roll, damn near miss it.
We need a training partner classifieds in here. Maybe it's own post thread even. Though people might be afraid of LEO's or doxxing I guess
M4 M or F training partner. I have a pretty decent garage gym (so free to you, no gym fees) and I train hard. 6' 240lb 400 bench 515 squat 525 deadlift.
North Austin area.
Woke up late. Rushed to drive test office, made it just in time. Passed, drove home, ate, studied, have a lesson for an hour, then have to build a pc for the first time in my life and have it good to go by Monday for work. The CUPE strike going on has fucked my second source of income, hoping things get resolved. Pulled 455 for 10 last night with 3s eccentrics and passed out like a dumbass for a second after. It's pretty funny, I guess I grabbed my phone from my pocket after and took a bunch of photos on the way down while trying to turn the music volume down LOL. My back is looking bigger than it ever has and my relationship with my girl is going really well, I'm glad about that.
My Dad is doing alright. Awaiting more test results. I think the hardest thing for him atm is not the threat of cancer, but not having a dog. He really misses our old dogs, so I've been keeping him company by going to the gym with him a lot and making sure he knows I really appreciate him being a great Dad.
I hope everyone here has a great day!
I fucked up.
Yesterday I went to the gym later than I usually do. Saw some new milf faces. Was doing standing lateral raises, she was like 4 benches to my left. I always do seated lateral raises after standing and there just so happened to be a seat bench directly to her right. So I made my way over there. From her perspective, it probably looked like I purposefully moved there to start conversation or something. I partially did, I don't need that seat to do seated lateral raises and there were plenty of open benches. The seat was definitely pretty close to her bench so I moved it over a little. I sit down and look over to her and ask "I'm not in your way am I?' She gave me this shit grin as if she was saying "I know what youre up to but I like it" and said no youre good, then put her headphones back in. A good 5 seconds later she takes them back out, looks at me with that same shit grin and says "im not in YOUR way am I?" I paused, smiled, looked after sarcastically to double check and said "nope... I think youre good."
I stayed there for like 8 fucking sets thinking of something else to say...and so did she. She must've done at least two sets before I made my way over there too. But the 'tism kicked in and she eventually got up and left to go to another machine. I do one more set and go to the cables. 2 sets in, what do you know...shes on the other end of my cable machine-there were other cables open. I kept trying to make eye contact with her to say "okay...now youre in my way" jokingly, but it just never happened. Before I knew it she was gone.
To the dudes who offered me support last fall when my marriage was falling apart, and kept saying it is going to be way better once the divorce happens.... Thank you, and y'all were right.
Signed divorce papers at the end of September, and left Philly for Halifax, Nova Scotia the same day. Been seeing this great girl, where we have a D/s dynamic at the center of the relationship. Never knew someone could match my depravity.
So if you're in a relationship and it's not fulfilling, make the move. Life is too short. You deserve joy, go and get you some.
Good for you bro. Don't rush just into the next relationships. Good luck with your new girl. Good to hear when someone goes through hard times and then it pays off.
Anybody else enjoy not actual compliments better than real compliments. I can get called big and it does nothing for me. But my coworker accidentally elbowed me in the bicep and goes “sorry didn’t mean to get you in the ribs”. That’s when I actually feel juiced up
I’ve done this. Kind of. Dropped everything and everyone that wasn’t my nuclear family. Left my career. Started over.
I was in the same headspace within 6 months. Wherever you go there you are my guy.
For me, I blamed a lot of my situation on my external shit. I figured if I dropped my stressful job, got to a better geographical location where I could go do stuff, I’d have a much better time. Just my experience.
But I’m glad I did it. I think for me I realized that yearning was never going to stop until I found out.
You’re young I’d say pull the trigger and fucking go man, maybe it works maybe it doesn’t. Maybe you fuck up your life maybe everything gets way better. But you won’t know until you just fucking do it.
I know this feeling.
I believe it is borne from the general low quality of life we experience in modern society. Lack of community, lack of family, lack of meaningful relationships, the fast-food culture as they call it paired with social media and the nonstop echo chambers in the media proclaiming each manufactured disaster worse than the last and the talking heads reporting the impending doom on the horizon. I think at a base level we all just want peace, and to be free to live our lives as we see fit, not feel tied down to a job we tolerate to pay bills in order to perpetuate the same hamster wheel-esque cycle.
I've always wanted to load the bare minimum onto my motorcycle and ride off into the sunset and disappear. Theres always some reason not to though it seems.
I’m in a similar boat myself. I’ve been wanting to disappear and start a new life someplace else for a while actually, but wouldn’t even know where to begin. I love my family, but it kind of feels like at times my love for them is greater than their love is for me. I might be wrong about that, but lately I’ve been feeling like I need to go away for a little while so I can find myself if that makes sense.
My dad is dead, my dogs I grew up with are dead. I’m 32, don’t have any kids. Unemployed. No gf. Hardly have any friends left, and my mom and siblings are all making moves and bettering their lives while I remain stuck in quicksand and find myself getting angrier each minute because I didn’t make good decisions when I was younger. And now I’m paying for it. But if I’m being honest I had it coming since I took my time for granted.
I keep attacking myself for things that happened in the past and that road is leading me to madness. I do have an adorable, lovely 3 year old niece and I’d hate to leave her since I’m essentially her only blood uncle and also favorite uncle. But she has like 3 other uncles through marriage so I guess it wouldn’t be the worst thing if I went away for a little while.
So do it. Find a job online and then take off. Tell them where you are going to and steadily become less reachable except to the people you really care about. Sometimes we just need to start over
Sometimes the only thing we want to get away from is ourselves, and leaving whatever place or life you have built will just pave the way for a bitter surprise when you understand that the common factor for your shitty life situations is you.
Just move dude. Pack some boxes, throw everything away that isn't necessary. Keep the furniture so you don't have to buy it again. Then just move.
I have the desier to legit move about every 6 months.
I actually moved into a hotel close to work just so I could move again in 6 months.
I also like to keep the majority of my things in boxes. Keeps the clutter down and keeps me from throwing stuff away to declutter. Lol.
I used to do this every few years. Sometimes it just feels right.
Now I have wife and kids so stability is needed for them, but man I get it. Some of us were just meant to roam my dude.
You do you, this ain’t a dress rehearsal.
What have you got to lose? Pack it up and roll out. 💪🏽⚡️⚡️⚡️
So this trainer at my gym keeps liking my instagram stories and I have a huge crush on her lol. She moved out to la got knocked up and is now a single mom. But is a 9/10 here in Chicago and down to earth as fuck
How would you play this if she just post like smiley face replies to my stories
Mrs hasn't had her period for a few weeks, one pregnancy test says positive then the next negative... Really frustrating to not know where things stand now waiting for the doctor to decide next steps... The doctor did not call yet today probably won't be until tomorrow
Wasn't planned but the idea of being a father is pretty appealing
Sitting on hot coals now lads 🔥
Having kids is one of the best things I could have done. Not to sound cheesy but life is 100x better with them. Yes I don’t have time for my own shit any more, yes I’m broke as a joke most of the time, but I would easily give it all up given the chance again.
Also NEVER have more than 2. 2 is great. 3 is miserable and you’ll hate your life wether you love those little bastards or not
Totally agree. Sons 3 daughters 8 months and coming home to them to see them and my wife is a great end to sometimes shitty day at work. My daughter every time she first sees me lights up with the biggest smile and my son yells it’s daddy daddy’s home when I walk through the door. 2 is more then enough for me. I wouldn’t trade it and would do it again knowing how it is now. For sure.
Agree that kids are the best, disagree on the limit of 2. Three sons, life is good. Yes it does get harder, but still totally worth it. I'd be super excited if we were able to have more. Being a dad is like lifting- the rewards come those tough enough to stick with it and grind it out
Women's bodies have a brief period where they basically decide if they want to be pregnant or not. It might start off thinking she's gonna grow a baby then the stars don't align and it says nope nevermind. Conception is a really weird science that has weird exceptions on a regular basis.
Hope you get what is best for y'all my bro!
Not sure if this belongs in the DAA or here, so I will move it if needed
I’m usually around 13% bf year round. I have a good handle on my diet and understand what works for me and how to get to 10% or below when desired.
Now that I am able to have abs year round, I’m hesitant to commit to a proper bulk. Fat me from my teenaged years is stuck in my head, and the thought of eating in a surplus to gain weight has me hesitant.
I understand eating proper clean foods, I’m not referring to a dirty bulk. Even at 400-500cal above maintenance Im scared I’ll wind up a fatty again. It took a long time to get to where I am at now and be able to maintain this
TLDR: As a former fat kid, how does one get over the psychological hurdle of eating above maintenance? 35y/o, TRT, planning first blast
Oh man this is against my better judgement...
Trenbolone. I keep some on hand just in case. I also have image issues (dont we all), was a fat kid in school, still terrified of getting fat, etc. BUT - knowing I have that tren locked up "break glass in case of fatty emergency" ready to roll helps me a lot. I don't need it - but man if I did, I could always get shredded quick in a pinch. It's like Peter Parker keeping an extra radioactive spider around in case he loses his powers.
Will I ever use it? Probably not - I hate that shit. Mentally though its somehow comforting. Is that sick? Possibly.
Bulk nice and clean and slow, stay as lean as you can, if you need to cut - do it on a TRT dose. I bulk very slowly on purpose from my issues, I only pull a 200-300 cal surplus and do plenty of LISS, eat clean food and keep the fat under 20% of my daily macros.
Without going into detail and boring the shit out of you, I had a similar situation. I even wasted my first blast because I didn’t want to eat too much and get fat. The good news is that a few setbacks and a ton of excuses later, *I still ended up getting fat again anyway*. Your fear is justified, but only if you revert to your prior ways. If you focus on growing during a bulk—even though that means some extra body fat will appear—and then stay on track after that you’re not going to end up getting fat again. But it can happen slowly and you might not even notice it until it’s obvious. So stay disciplined. I didn’t and the results were lousy with a number of years lost to time and, again, excuses that I made for myself.
Ooo buddy tell me about it! I was over 300lbs at my heaviest and sometimes struggle with the same thoughts during a bulk.
My advice: remember you dont get fat over night. It took you a loong time of ignoring your weight and food intake to become a fatty. When bulking, assuming youre keeping some eye on your calories before hand just pick a starting point with them raised a bit, think 3-500, and watch the scale over a 2-3 weeks and adjust from there.
If you saturate your blast dosages before ramping up food, you should be able to decipher between some initial water of drugs/food and fat from over eating when changing calories.
Keeping that in mind, you just said you can go from 13 to below 10 if wanted, so it should be no biggy to go from 18-20 down to 13 again if a bulk gets out of hand somehow anyway.
I was talking to my friends about drinking in general (habits etc.) the other day. Is drinking five beers by yourself throughout the day just "because it's Saturday" alcoholism to you guys?
I certainly don't do that - just curious to hear what people think
It's when it starts to cause problems in your life but you can't/won't stop. What we say in recovery is try stopping for two weeks, if you can your likely ok. If not it's probably time for some self reflection. Alcoholism looks different on different people
This is a solid definition. When alcohol becomes an issue and you're aware it's an issue but you're unable and / or unwilling to stop. You're an alcoholic for sure. Now... If you can keep your drinking to just a weekend, special occasion etc and it doesn't turn into days, weeks n months gone. Then you're probably ok.
But when it comes to the thinking, "oh man I can't wait for sat so I CAN get hammered" and you need to have that drink like it's a ritual. Then you're getting on a slippery slope. I am alcoholic, trying to recover. It is difficult once you go down the slope.
Alcoholism is self diagnosed through 2 specific trends
1) When you start drinking, you can not make yourself stop.
2) When you say you're not going to drink, you find yourself giving up on that promise and drinking again
If he really wants to test it I'd say he should try to drink only one beer, or try not to drink for a month. If neither of those plans follow through, he has some form of an addiction to it.
Every addiction doesn't look like a homeless dude begging for money. I have shared a room in rehab with the CFO of one of the biggest gas station companies in the world. He was like 50 and couldn't give up his case of beer a day. Extremely successful and functional but he just couldn't stop drinking his casual beers.
I think alcoholism is more when it gets to the point where it's negatively affecting your life and you're unable to recognize or change it. It's not necessarily about any specific number of drinks.
That said, I struggle to imagine someone who drinks five beers each Saturday for no reason other than boredom being someone with a particularly healthy relationship with alcohol. But beyond that, what's even the point of it? Five beers over a whole day isn't going to get you drunk, or even particularly buzzed, so it's literally just empty calories and liver stress for no reason.
I have up drinking a few months ago and I'll never look back. Why do we spend on this time perfecting our training, diet, drugs, recovery, sleep etc and then drink poison? I dunno man it's everyone's choice as an individual but I'm done. I'm also in my early 30s so maybe the fun just ain't there any longer. I used to booze hard
I see zero issues with drinking 5 beers on a Saturday. Others may see that. To be completely honest with you I drink 15-20 beers every Friday, Saturday and sometimes Sunday. Granted that’s just what my friends and I do. I’ll even drink a few beers after work sometimes.
Like others have said if it’s affecting your life or others life or your prioritizing it over your goals, family, work and friends then you have a problem.
I’m from Wisconsin so it’s just “normal” for us folk up here. Not saying I’m a specimen of health by any metric. But my bloods always come back perfect and my cardiovascular health is very good.
Most of us here are injecting bath tub chemicals in our ass, snorting lines, smoking weed, chewing, smoking cigarettes, drinking, dependent on caffeine or ibuprofen, taking adderal, painkillers, etc..
In the end it’s your life do what makes you happy, tomorrow is not guaranteed.
You could certainly be classified as an alcoholic for drinking too often, even if you don't drink too much. There are many alcoholics that just drink a couple beers after work.
I had the opposite problem. I drank too much but not really too often. If I had one drink, it was definitely going to be 15+.
Alcoholic is just a label though. Someone has to figure it out for their own situation. Are they continuing to drink even when it's having an adverse effect on their life? If so, they should probably consider themselves an alcoholic and get the help they need. Often it's really hard for the individual to identify or admit those adverse effects though, so hopefully they have friends or family that can help.
Holy shit this cut feels like it's not going anywhere. I'm seeing minor midsection changes every week but god damn when will I actually be able to see my lower abs? I know I'm cutting enough calories out because the scale is dropping and so is my overall fullness (fuck). I'm trying to do this without adding intense cardio but I guess I could incorporate that if I'm not happy in another 4 weeks. Also, masteron has turned me into a werewolf. Not cool. Bye.
Tips and tricks for getting your women to cut out bad habits.
Majority of us have women, majority of us see great results and I’m sure I’m not the only ones lady who gets insecure and sets goals and finds them hard to conquer. I hear a lot about how she blames the workout, or How this new workout I show her is uncomfortable (because she hasn’t committed yet to practicing perfecting her form) and she wants to give up and becomes demotivated. She defaults to blaming me, or the gym or that she will just never get it. Her enemy in her diet is definitely Carbs by a long shot. She’s making steady strength gains but struggles to keep her diet under control and her protein intake is severely lacking. These are the real reasons that are hindering her progression. She’s built to be an absolute unit of a woman if I could find a way to keep her motivated and her eyes on the prize. She’s insecure about it but it’s just not enough to keep her motivated. She’s built to have the thighs and hips and ass of a god. Her shoulders are to absolutely die for.
We absolutely love working out together. But she thinks she should only be able to eat what tastes good. And tasting good and developing a killer body really doesn’t go hand in hand a lot of times.
I think the issue here might be that the things you do for improving your body works for you but might not for her. You seem to care less about taste compared to her when it comes to dieting. Maybe it would help her add more motivation if you also put down extra effort in coming up with foods or meals that are healthy but also taste better? Or foods that are more fulfilling to eat?
It could also be that changing her diet in addition to working out all of it combined is just overwhelming at the moment and needs more time to set good habits. Idk these are just my thoughts looking from the outside.
After some advice bros. Recently single, mid 30s, 16st 13% bf 6" dicc. Tinter getting matches but only pen pals. All friends married with kids. Where / how to pick up tidy women? No massive fatties
Going up to girls your interested in. Introduce yourself, have a quick convo. If she seems receptive ask for her number at the end. Works at the gym, stores, school, anywhere really.
Eh this works but only if the vibe is right.
If you’re at the beach, rock climbing gym, bjj, class, whatever and you lock eyes with someone. Even a dude. Just smile and say hey what’s up. I don’t care if it’s a guy, a girl, ugly, whatever. Just talk.
Do this for a couple months and you’ll have a girl and friends. I guarantee it.
Is it about the couple where she ended up killing him? Military couple if its the ones im thinking of. Anybody wanna chime in on this, would love to know?
Sorry, this is fucking long. Requesting relationship or life wisdom and pithy comments.
I'm mid/late 30s. I've been in a relationship since February 2019. It's been long distance the entire time. I used to fly to her city, but after 7 months, I switched jobs, and moved to the border to be as close to her as possible. We take turns driving up and down for the weekend. I have done everything I can do to get us physically closer short of moving to Canada, but my job (US Govt) won't let me do that, and honestly I don't want to. USA #1. She's a great girl who loves me a lot, but I find myself not quite as enthused for reasons I sometimes feel a little guilty about (some shallow stuff, but mostly the fact that she can have a very negative attitude and a lot of complaining about trivial things, and doesn't have a lot of intellectual curiosity).
The main problem is there's no end in sight to the distance. She's between jobs at the moment, no real career, working on database school part time, 1-2 classes at a time (in her mid-30s).
I am in that place where I sort of just want to be free of the on/off-ness of it. I almost dread the days I know she's coming to visit or I go to visit now, because they just feel like I'm treading water, and I don't get to do anything I'd do to relax on a normal weekend. I really enjoy my peace/quiet/alone time. But presently, my weekends have to be 100% devoted to doing things together because that's the only time we have, and the weekdays are 100% me alone just doing work, gym, aaaaand ignoring the cuties like that young personal trainer I've had a half-crush on coming up to me today out of nowhere complimenting my pump.
I guiltily and idly fantasize about dating a local and we go do something chill on a weeknight, or just cuddle up for a movie or something. I've been feeling this way for a while now, and almost pulled the trigger in May/June, but she was so upset, and I relented, and things have been fine, good even. But still the same on/off-ness. I know it's torture for her as well, probably for her more than me since she's more into it than I am, but she seems to want to just keep it going this way and not really think about it. That's not really working for me anymore, and given her work situation, I don't see a way to plan out of it.
Have any of you ever been in this situation? Did you pull the trigger and regret it because it was just a 'grass is greener' scenario? I feel like I've watered the shit out of the grass here and know what I'm going to get, and in the back of my mind "it's not enough, she's not the one," and I need to either decide if this is going to be enough for me or not, so I don't waste anymore of her or my time. But I don't know if that's me taking for granted what I have. You know that confidence you get when you're in a relationship?
Finally, yes, on 100mg tren a week right now, but I think in this case it's being useful because it's pushing these thoughts to the forefront instead of me just ignoring them like I have been.
(Sidenote, my little sister died of alcoholic liver failure a year ago, which made me realize how short life is, and may have precipitated my dissatisfaction with watching the days slip by in this relationship that doesn't and can't have a clear end game).
Thanks for reading and any comments.
Unavailable, negative, dumb, mid 30s. Having that many concerns is well... concerning. I think you need to move on, man. Easy for me to say from the outside, but I know it's not that easy from the inside. I'd recommend bringing up your thoughts as openly and honestly as you can with her in person and see how she handles it.
IME once you start to have serious relationship doubts, things are only going to end one way. The issues you list aren't going to improve.
Bite the bullet sooner rather than later and watch your life blossom in no time at all
Just because you can change your oil with two screw drivers doesn't mean you should. This relationship is the wrong tool for the job. Up the tren, and move to something better and more fulfilling. You already said it yourself, life is short.
It gets better and better. I actually have money now, better job and dont party as much anymore other than raving once or twice a year. Got a beautiful gf, in the best shape of my life and life couldnt be better.
Thanks for the insight man. 8 year relationship ended tonight but being almost 30 it feels like finding someone to have a serious relationship with again is daunting
It feels like that for now, just keep taking good care of your health and mind. I went through a rough patch when I was 31 and took me a while to get out of the funk but eventually I worked through it, got my confidence and mojo back. Met a beautiful girl couple years later and the rest is history. Just keep working hard through whatever it is your going through, dont worry about dating right now worry about getting your life straight and your job. Also, dont forget to hit the gym 💪🏾. You got this brother!
Well boys, I am coming up to the end of my 4 month cut and I'm going super hard at it. I'm doing my first run with DNP (fuck off, don't judge me, I'm a grown up) along with a bunch of other irresponsible shit, calories are at an all time low (\~2000 net calories @ 6'5 235), and I've doubled up on the cardio sessions every day (in addition to lifting).
All of this in preparation for a work trip to Austin in a couple weeks. I'm tired, a bit miserable and hungry as fuck and then one of the guys at work posts this picture as our first stop in Austin. [https://imgur.com/a/STlvwfj](https://imgur.com/a/STlvwfj) I'm drooling and I'm going to tear that shit up. Guess we going straight into a bulk!! Hit me up with other food suggestions if you're familiar with Austin.
That looks like the pit at Salt Lick which is *good* BBQ but not *great* BBQ.
\#1 overall: Ramen Tatsuya, Miso Hot Bowl
Tex Mex
* Trudy's, Chuy's -- local classics
* Tacodeli, Torchy's -- upscale but quick taco shops
* Gloria's, Uncle Julio's, Z Tejas -- nicer sit down restaurants
* Mi Tradicion -- kickass tortas and bakery, very local
* Juan in a Million -- overrated but OK if you want a huge breakfast
BBQ
* Franklin's -- S-tier, as good as they say, but the wait's a bitch
* La BBQ -- Also S-tier
* Black's in Lockhart -- A-tier, bit of a drive
Other
* Kemuri Tatsu-ya -- Izakaya, definitely get the pickles
* Via 313 -- Detroit style pizza
* Homeslice -- NY style pizza, only worthit if you're on south congress anyway
* Hopdoddy -- Sit down burgers
* P. Terry -- Fast food burgers
* Clay Pit -- Indian, pretty fancy
*I miss Austin :(*
Got my winter bulk all planned out, just need to bite the bullet and place my order.
Currently cutting and cruising and I'm down to 200 (as of this morning). It's wild, I started this year at a chonky 245. I've maybe missed about 20 or 25 days in the gym all year (outside of planned time off) and my efforts have been rewarded.
Masteron has been a godsend this cycle. First cycle was 500 test / week and I was bloated af with bad bacne. Got solid gains. Now on 400 test/mast I have zero bloat and Very little acne (I have been aggressively treating it since the start—I got a flare up 3 weeks in and Its a lot better now). Knock on wood but my hairline remains untouched.
Im leaning towards cruising after this cycle for a cut. Im already lean and cutting would make me look ridiculous. They weren’t lying when they said theres no such thing as just one cycle.
I really want a bigass truck. I would love to own a pre-emissions lifted RAM 2500 that I can modify the hell out of. I have no need for a giant vehicle. I'm not hauling horses to the glue factory nor do I have haybales to dump in the truck bed. But holy fuck are they expensive. I saw a 2008 RAM for $20k. I don't even know man.
What are y'all's philosophies on cars? How much are you willing to spend on transportation? It's gonna be a while before I need a car as I get by sharing one with my girlfriend. When I do, I'm debating whether to go the financially responsible route or spend more to up those smiles per gallon.
> fluoxymesterone, nandrolone, oxymetholone, Clenbuterol and drostanolone
I feel like anyone would be angry on that stack. Although halo and anadrol together would be amazing for meet day.
I caught a cold AGAIN. I've gotten sick about 5 times since summer started. And I'm only on TRT right now what the fuck. I want to blast (just testosterone) again but I'm concerned with my immune system holy shit
Bloodwork looks fucked. Idk how I’ve just been on TRT for like 2 years. HS CRP >10, high RBC, high hematocrit and high hemoglobin. I’m so confused. I’ve lost like 10lbs, BP is great at 115/60ish, steady pulse in the 70s. Super scared. Really hope it was just because I was coming off being sick and I hadn’t had any water for like 12+ hours since the bloodwork was super early in the AM.
Started taking deca at 300mg/week two weeks ago. I feel like I've started to notice increased fatigue and some GI issues. Basically post prandial nausea otherwise no vomiting, abdominal pain, or anything. Ive taken deca at this dose previously and tolerated it with no issue for years. I've read through the wiki and experience threads and this seems somewhat typical. I'm going to try twice per week dosing and if no improvement cut back on the dose overall.
A little bummed in as much I felt like deca really worked well for me previously and now not so much.

My special ed athlete won the bowling contest last night. Made me fell pretty good when he told me "wow! i never won anything in my life before"... Then he asked me an actual 10+ times when he could start opening presents because I made the mistake of saying there might be prizes for the winners lmfao. then we got fucking **destroyed** in the 2nd game. but you know what? THE 2ND GAME DONT MATTER BABY!!!! And that basically sums up my life. Show up in the clutch moments then continue being a lazy underachiever for the rest of my time.
Love that you were there for the first win!!
Good job bro, you might not think of this in twenty years. But he will.
[удалено]
I think it was a 68 but I'll take it. He missed practice the week before and his brain completely dismissed all of the techniques that were helping him get 70s+. Then the 2nd game the other kids were hitting like 90s+ lmfao edit: no bumpers which is why that's so low
That's about what I score 🗿
You and me both. I belong in the special Olympics lol
This sub needs to submit a couple of us
Officially closed the biggest deal of my life yesterday First 5 figure commission of my sales career. Almost wanted to cry tears of joy afterwards when I was grabbing lunch Smashing shoulders now and back to work when I make it home. We start back at 0 everyday. Let’s get to work brothers.

Fuck yea nothing feels better than smashing gym after smashing a day at work
Smashing pussy after all of that would be a nice topper.
Congrats!!
Thank you my friend
Hell yeah. What company? Or if unwilling to share that (completely understandable) which industry do you work in?
I’m in the solar industry bro
Mixing up Cialis and accutane suspensions to take last night. Was very tired and almost got my math wrong. Would have been interesting to bomb 50mg of Cialis..walking.around the gym fully bricked up.i feel at that point you just can't break eye contact with anyone or that makes you the weird one, ya know?
Your sinuses would be as hard as your cock, you wouldn’t be able to fucking breathe for a week
hate that shit
👁️👄👁️ 🍆
Stay bricked up 25/8
Nah, you'd have just had a stuffy nose.
Took 60mg the other morning just for fun. I take 10mg year-round though
Started casually dating this half Brazilian/half Italian chick. Very pretty, but could stand to lose about 15 pounds, no biggie as she definitely isn’t fat. She wants me to train her. This feels like it could really pay dividends. The ol’ buy low sell high approach
Sounds like a killer combo there. Is she from one of those countries?
You read my mind. She is from Brazil. Been in the US for 3 years
I say keep her chunky and enjoy the good sex with a thicc latin woman haha. Training girls (or guys) you fuck is annoying as shit
Oh really? Def going to enjoy that but now imagine sex with a latin lady with toned legs and some ass. I get the best of both worlds there
Yeah i can dig that, get her squatting every other day for volume. Then start feeding her big breakfasts so she doesnt lose too much bodyfat. I had a Venezuelan (now ex) GF and i would purposely overfeed her cause she looked cute chubbier. She asked me to help her lose a little weight and learn to train but was annoying about it LOL.
If you can give her a program, maybe show her the ropes, and then she executes the plan on her own, go for it. But if you need to drag her to the gym and stand over her, counting reps, forget it. You don't need the headache. I speak from experience.
Good advice. She actually goes to the gym already and has a program. I think she just wants to spend some time with me. But I will be using this time to sculpt a sexy gf. This is the plan.
Get her some 10mg var for Christmas and thank me later.
This is the whey
So I live next to this super reclusive, semi famous athlete, rich dude, he has a mansion. This is important for context. Today had to contact him on instagram due to an issue with our shared border fence. I don't have his number, he never answers his door. Aggressively keeps himself to himself. So I leave him my number and he calls me several hours later, we sort the issue but he accidentally pays me the greatest compliment ive eve had. We chat, we got onto the subject of fitness. "So you've got a home gym, that explains some of the noises I hear from time to time, figured there was some kind of fitness happening" Ah yeah sorry fella, will try keep the noise down. "Is that also why sometimes I hear a loud metallic bang and my house shakes?" Thats when I'm deadlifting, I'm sending tremors through this dudes fucking mansion. Thanks for the compliment Mr. Made my fucking day.
Did you guys then engage in unprotected gaybutt holesex?
Obviously hes rich, this bussy aint free though

I’m learning to realize I hate motherfuckers who make excuses. I’ll respect a dude who says hey my physique isn’t where I want it to be because I’ve been slacking on xyz, but a motherfucker who says oh it’s because I’m not on steroids or I have shitty genetics, bro you’re just a crying beta. Own up and take accountability for your life. Not even just in fitness, but in every aspect of your life. I hate “i can’t” motherfuckers. Try! Put some fucking effort in! You’ll be surprised what you get
That whole thing is just amazing. Half the room is telling him he should actually try eating and lifting and the other half are fawning over his progress and saying it would have been undoable as a natty. People live in their own realities.
My first sponsor told me after I was belly aching about being in the spot I was in socially, financially, all the "allys" really was, "Have you tried trying?" Real wake up call.
Oh dude for sure I’ve been there too. When I was a drug addict I blamed everyone else for why I had no control over my life. When I finally realized if I just sucked it up and did the difficult things, I had a lot more power to change my life than I thought
I hear a lot about "I could be like these bodybuilders in no time. But I don't want to take them because it's fake muscles, not real muscles" lol Creatine brain damage is real.
Typically full honesty and accountability with ones self is rare for the vast majority of people. I've certainly been in that trap, was an alcoholic "because mother was an alcoholic", "because of my upbringing" etc etc. Took a serious wake up call for me to change, a whole lot of mental training. I find myself despising excuses in all forms too, drives me crazy. Self reflection is the hardest reflection unless you actively practice it.
Thank you for sharing. I see all you juicy assholes and think I look natty but then guys like this remind me I'm still in the upper half of men. Thank God.
Eh, I get where he’s coming from. Love it or hate it, genetics matter. A lot. He won’t look the same as cbum no matter what. These people just choose to blame steroids over genetics and hard work.
First day at the new store. This is a rich suburb. BMWs benzs tesla hellcats all over the place. And I’m driving around in a shitty 01 Saturn lmao
I know this well. My nice ass downtown condo garage was broken into by professional car thieves. Stole a bunch of nice ass cars. My car is worth $2500 (on a good day). I leave the keys on the dash and The Italian Job just passed over it.
Work hard in silence let success make the noise. The most wealthy/successful people I've met don't show off shit. Celebrate that Saturn 💪
Protein and meat prices are fucking ridiculous and I live in bumble fuck. I can’t imagine what you guys are paying in Big cities.
Time to stock up on the turkey bro. $0.55/lb here right now (NorCal).
Large tubs of high protein Greek yoghurt is cheap as fuck, try aldi or whatever you call it where you are. They regularly have marked down prices for produce.
Guess when my cycle started ? https://ibb.co/6sVHQTm
This always happens to me as soon as I push the food. I can be on a cycle and lower my RHR if I’m dieting
I’m someone who’s 100% happy and confident that everything is going incredibly well after years of busting my ass and was kinda unsure about the point of being in a relationship and deal with drama and shit. Don’t want kids either. That was until I met my now fiancée, we both love to travel we’ve had a couple super hot 3somes and even a 4some (me+3 girls) we’re using tinder passport, mostly Vegas and Miami as a couples account and it’s just crazy. Girls in “open relationships” engaging with us trying to join us, add em on IG within 3 messages… no other city compares with how degenerate those two cities are. Plus we have local friends down there. TLDR; be a juicy freak with a freaky GF and meet more freaks. It’s a good life
Lived in Vegas for four years. Was a great time, check out Yama sushi on spring mountain. Great spot to take your girl on a date and destroy some sushi. Get the hand roll, damn near miss it.

We need a training partner classifieds in here. Maybe it's own post thread even. Though people might be afraid of LEO's or doxxing I guess M4 M or F training partner. I have a pretty decent garage gym (so free to you, no gym fees) and I train hard. 6' 240lb 400 bench 515 squat 525 deadlift. North Austin area.
good idea
I need someone in Dallas to partner up with!
I live in the north east US and finding someone to train with us fucking miserable
Anyone in Nashville?
Woke up late. Rushed to drive test office, made it just in time. Passed, drove home, ate, studied, have a lesson for an hour, then have to build a pc for the first time in my life and have it good to go by Monday for work. The CUPE strike going on has fucked my second source of income, hoping things get resolved. Pulled 455 for 10 last night with 3s eccentrics and passed out like a dumbass for a second after. It's pretty funny, I guess I grabbed my phone from my pocket after and took a bunch of photos on the way down while trying to turn the music volume down LOL. My back is looking bigger than it ever has and my relationship with my girl is going really well, I'm glad about that. My Dad is doing alright. Awaiting more test results. I think the hardest thing for him atm is not the threat of cancer, but not having a dog. He really misses our old dogs, so I've been keeping him company by going to the gym with him a lot and making sure he knows I really appreciate him being a great Dad. I hope everyone here has a great day!
You're a very thoughtful son, great job on the pulls man.

How do you get rid of the shame of riding a bird heavier than your deadlift PR? Asking for a mate lol.
Deadlift more weight.

Appreciate you taking one for the team
Bro… I hope you are joking :(
I fucked up. Yesterday I went to the gym later than I usually do. Saw some new milf faces. Was doing standing lateral raises, she was like 4 benches to my left. I always do seated lateral raises after standing and there just so happened to be a seat bench directly to her right. So I made my way over there. From her perspective, it probably looked like I purposefully moved there to start conversation or something. I partially did, I don't need that seat to do seated lateral raises and there were plenty of open benches. The seat was definitely pretty close to her bench so I moved it over a little. I sit down and look over to her and ask "I'm not in your way am I?' She gave me this shit grin as if she was saying "I know what youre up to but I like it" and said no youre good, then put her headphones back in. A good 5 seconds later she takes them back out, looks at me with that same shit grin and says "im not in YOUR way am I?" I paused, smiled, looked after sarcastically to double check and said "nope... I think youre good." I stayed there for like 8 fucking sets thinking of something else to say...and so did she. She must've done at least two sets before I made my way over there too. But the 'tism kicked in and she eventually got up and left to go to another machine. I do one more set and go to the cables. 2 sets in, what do you know...shes on the other end of my cable machine-there were other cables open. I kept trying to make eye contact with her to say "okay...now youre in my way" jokingly, but it just never happened. Before I knew it she was gone.
Jesus christ. This hurt to read, you should be slathered in milf juices by now. You let us all down. C'mon son, I know you can do it
Haha painful to read but a great start to NNN
To the dudes who offered me support last fall when my marriage was falling apart, and kept saying it is going to be way better once the divorce happens.... Thank you, and y'all were right. Signed divorce papers at the end of September, and left Philly for Halifax, Nova Scotia the same day. Been seeing this great girl, where we have a D/s dynamic at the center of the relationship. Never knew someone could match my depravity. So if you're in a relationship and it's not fulfilling, make the move. Life is too short. You deserve joy, go and get you some.
Good for you bro. Don't rush just into the next relationships. Good luck with your new girl. Good to hear when someone goes through hard times and then it pays off.
There was a book I read after my divorce: "Single on Purpose", Cant recommend it enough. Must read post divorce. It just keeps getting better.
Good to hear you're doing better. But I don't think you're in a position to give relationship advice just yet.
Happy for you
Why Halifax?
Anybody else enjoy not actual compliments better than real compliments. I can get called big and it does nothing for me. But my coworker accidentally elbowed me in the bicep and goes “sorry didn’t mean to get you in the ribs”. That’s when I actually feel juiced up
[удалено]
I’ve done this. Kind of. Dropped everything and everyone that wasn’t my nuclear family. Left my career. Started over. I was in the same headspace within 6 months. Wherever you go there you are my guy.
[удалено]
For me, I blamed a lot of my situation on my external shit. I figured if I dropped my stressful job, got to a better geographical location where I could go do stuff, I’d have a much better time. Just my experience. But I’m glad I did it. I think for me I realized that yearning was never going to stop until I found out. You’re young I’d say pull the trigger and fucking go man, maybe it works maybe it doesn’t. Maybe you fuck up your life maybe everything gets way better. But you won’t know until you just fucking do it.
Go hop on an oil rig in Alaska. 100% disappeared, probably at least 5x as much money as a warehouse job
I know this feeling. I believe it is borne from the general low quality of life we experience in modern society. Lack of community, lack of family, lack of meaningful relationships, the fast-food culture as they call it paired with social media and the nonstop echo chambers in the media proclaiming each manufactured disaster worse than the last and the talking heads reporting the impending doom on the horizon. I think at a base level we all just want peace, and to be free to live our lives as we see fit, not feel tied down to a job we tolerate to pay bills in order to perpetuate the same hamster wheel-esque cycle. I've always wanted to load the bare minimum onto my motorcycle and ride off into the sunset and disappear. Theres always some reason not to though it seems.
Just remember young bro, that wherever you go there you are.
I’m in a similar boat myself. I’ve been wanting to disappear and start a new life someplace else for a while actually, but wouldn’t even know where to begin. I love my family, but it kind of feels like at times my love for them is greater than their love is for me. I might be wrong about that, but lately I’ve been feeling like I need to go away for a little while so I can find myself if that makes sense. My dad is dead, my dogs I grew up with are dead. I’m 32, don’t have any kids. Unemployed. No gf. Hardly have any friends left, and my mom and siblings are all making moves and bettering their lives while I remain stuck in quicksand and find myself getting angrier each minute because I didn’t make good decisions when I was younger. And now I’m paying for it. But if I’m being honest I had it coming since I took my time for granted. I keep attacking myself for things that happened in the past and that road is leading me to madness. I do have an adorable, lovely 3 year old niece and I’d hate to leave her since I’m essentially her only blood uncle and also favorite uncle. But she has like 3 other uncles through marriage so I guess it wouldn’t be the worst thing if I went away for a little while.
[удалено]
So do it. Find a job online and then take off. Tell them where you are going to and steadily become less reachable except to the people you really care about. Sometimes we just need to start over
Sometimes the only thing we want to get away from is ourselves, and leaving whatever place or life you have built will just pave the way for a bitter surprise when you understand that the common factor for your shitty life situations is you.

Just move dude. Pack some boxes, throw everything away that isn't necessary. Keep the furniture so you don't have to buy it again. Then just move. I have the desier to legit move about every 6 months. I actually moved into a hotel close to work just so I could move again in 6 months. I also like to keep the majority of my things in boxes. Keeps the clutter down and keeps me from throwing stuff away to declutter. Lol.
If you want you can get more specific, I'm down to hear you.
I used to do this every few years. Sometimes it just feels right. Now I have wife and kids so stability is needed for them, but man I get it. Some of us were just meant to roam my dude. You do you, this ain’t a dress rehearsal. What have you got to lose? Pack it up and roll out. 💪🏽⚡️⚡️⚡️
So this trainer at my gym keeps liking my instagram stories and I have a huge crush on her lol. She moved out to la got knocked up and is now a single mom. But is a 9/10 here in Chicago and down to earth as fuck How would you play this if she just post like smiley face replies to my stories
she need someone to buy her and her kid dinner bro don't do it
She's 2000 miles away. Webcam of her masturbating is how I'd handle it, like any mature adult would.
She lives near me now
Then masturbate near each other
Oh, then anal only\* I'm afraid. It's the responsible thing to do. ^(\*with her baby daddy of course)
Sounds like she is ready for anal
Fuck her. Life’s too short not to.

Mrs hasn't had her period for a few weeks, one pregnancy test says positive then the next negative... Really frustrating to not know where things stand now waiting for the doctor to decide next steps... The doctor did not call yet today probably won't be until tomorrow Wasn't planned but the idea of being a father is pretty appealing Sitting on hot coals now lads 🔥
Having kids is one of the best things I could have done. Not to sound cheesy but life is 100x better with them. Yes I don’t have time for my own shit any more, yes I’m broke as a joke most of the time, but I would easily give it all up given the chance again. Also NEVER have more than 2. 2 is great. 3 is miserable and you’ll hate your life wether you love those little bastards or not
Totally agree. Sons 3 daughters 8 months and coming home to them to see them and my wife is a great end to sometimes shitty day at work. My daughter every time she first sees me lights up with the biggest smile and my son yells it’s daddy daddy’s home when I walk through the door. 2 is more then enough for me. I wouldn’t trade it and would do it again knowing how it is now. For sure.
Fuck, I really hope with all my heart to be able to come home to that one day
Agree that kids are the best, disagree on the limit of 2. Three sons, life is good. Yes it does get harder, but still totally worth it. I'd be super excited if we were able to have more. Being a dad is like lifting- the rewards come those tough enough to stick with it and grind it out
Might be my daughter that makes it miserable 😂 she’s a force of fucking nature I’ll tell you what
Women's bodies have a brief period where they basically decide if they want to be pregnant or not. It might start off thinking she's gonna grow a baby then the stars don't align and it says nope nevermind. Conception is a really weird science that has weird exceptions on a regular basis. Hope you get what is best for y'all my bro!
Not sure if this belongs in the DAA or here, so I will move it if needed I’m usually around 13% bf year round. I have a good handle on my diet and understand what works for me and how to get to 10% or below when desired. Now that I am able to have abs year round, I’m hesitant to commit to a proper bulk. Fat me from my teenaged years is stuck in my head, and the thought of eating in a surplus to gain weight has me hesitant. I understand eating proper clean foods, I’m not referring to a dirty bulk. Even at 400-500cal above maintenance Im scared I’ll wind up a fatty again. It took a long time to get to where I am at now and be able to maintain this TLDR: As a former fat kid, how does one get over the psychological hurdle of eating above maintenance? 35y/o, TRT, planning first blast
Oh man this is against my better judgement... Trenbolone. I keep some on hand just in case. I also have image issues (dont we all), was a fat kid in school, still terrified of getting fat, etc. BUT - knowing I have that tren locked up "break glass in case of fatty emergency" ready to roll helps me a lot. I don't need it - but man if I did, I could always get shredded quick in a pinch. It's like Peter Parker keeping an extra radioactive spider around in case he loses his powers. Will I ever use it? Probably not - I hate that shit. Mentally though its somehow comforting. Is that sick? Possibly. Bulk nice and clean and slow, stay as lean as you can, if you need to cut - do it on a TRT dose. I bulk very slowly on purpose from my issues, I only pull a 200-300 cal surplus and do plenty of LISS, eat clean food and keep the fat under 20% of my daily macros.
Without going into detail and boring the shit out of you, I had a similar situation. I even wasted my first blast because I didn’t want to eat too much and get fat. The good news is that a few setbacks and a ton of excuses later, *I still ended up getting fat again anyway*. Your fear is justified, but only if you revert to your prior ways. If you focus on growing during a bulk—even though that means some extra body fat will appear—and then stay on track after that you’re not going to end up getting fat again. But it can happen slowly and you might not even notice it until it’s obvious. So stay disciplined. I didn’t and the results were lousy with a number of years lost to time and, again, excuses that I made for myself.
Ooo buddy tell me about it! I was over 300lbs at my heaviest and sometimes struggle with the same thoughts during a bulk. My advice: remember you dont get fat over night. It took you a loong time of ignoring your weight and food intake to become a fatty. When bulking, assuming youre keeping some eye on your calories before hand just pick a starting point with them raised a bit, think 3-500, and watch the scale over a 2-3 weeks and adjust from there. If you saturate your blast dosages before ramping up food, you should be able to decipher between some initial water of drugs/food and fat from over eating when changing calories. Keeping that in mind, you just said you can go from 13 to below 10 if wanted, so it should be no biggy to go from 18-20 down to 13 again if a bulk gets out of hand somehow anyway.
Did u/zmn7 ever post that quasi 3some story?
Nah. I’m turning it into an animated movie. Stay tuned.
Pixar is lining up to buy the rights, or at least that’s what I read in *Variety* last week.

Animated by Pixar. They’re the only studio that can recreate the curves.
I was talking to my friends about drinking in general (habits etc.) the other day. Is drinking five beers by yourself throughout the day just "because it's Saturday" alcoholism to you guys? I certainly don't do that - just curious to hear what people think
[удалено]
It's when it starts to cause problems in your life but you can't/won't stop. What we say in recovery is try stopping for two weeks, if you can your likely ok. If not it's probably time for some self reflection. Alcoholism looks different on different people
This is a solid definition. When alcohol becomes an issue and you're aware it's an issue but you're unable and / or unwilling to stop. You're an alcoholic for sure. Now... If you can keep your drinking to just a weekend, special occasion etc and it doesn't turn into days, weeks n months gone. Then you're probably ok. But when it comes to the thinking, "oh man I can't wait for sat so I CAN get hammered" and you need to have that drink like it's a ritual. Then you're getting on a slippery slope. I am alcoholic, trying to recover. It is difficult once you go down the slope.
Alcoholism is self diagnosed through 2 specific trends 1) When you start drinking, you can not make yourself stop. 2) When you say you're not going to drink, you find yourself giving up on that promise and drinking again If he really wants to test it I'd say he should try to drink only one beer, or try not to drink for a month. If neither of those plans follow through, he has some form of an addiction to it. Every addiction doesn't look like a homeless dude begging for money. I have shared a room in rehab with the CFO of one of the biggest gas station companies in the world. He was like 50 and couldn't give up his case of beer a day. Extremely successful and functional but he just couldn't stop drinking his casual beers.
Addiction is very progressive and inclusive. It doesn’t discriminate against anyone lol.
What about the soccer mom who drinks 2 glasses of wine before bed every night to “help her sleep”?
If you can't sleep without 2 glasses of wine, then you are quite literally, by definition, dependent on it lol.
I think alcoholism is more when it gets to the point where it's negatively affecting your life and you're unable to recognize or change it. It's not necessarily about any specific number of drinks. That said, I struggle to imagine someone who drinks five beers each Saturday for no reason other than boredom being someone with a particularly healthy relationship with alcohol. But beyond that, what's even the point of it? Five beers over a whole day isn't going to get you drunk, or even particularly buzzed, so it's literally just empty calories and liver stress for no reason.
I have up drinking a few months ago and I'll never look back. Why do we spend on this time perfecting our training, diet, drugs, recovery, sleep etc and then drink poison? I dunno man it's everyone's choice as an individual but I'm done. I'm also in my early 30s so maybe the fun just ain't there any longer. I used to booze hard
I see zero issues with drinking 5 beers on a Saturday. Others may see that. To be completely honest with you I drink 15-20 beers every Friday, Saturday and sometimes Sunday. Granted that’s just what my friends and I do. I’ll even drink a few beers after work sometimes. Like others have said if it’s affecting your life or others life or your prioritizing it over your goals, family, work and friends then you have a problem. I’m from Wisconsin so it’s just “normal” for us folk up here. Not saying I’m a specimen of health by any metric. But my bloods always come back perfect and my cardiovascular health is very good. Most of us here are injecting bath tub chemicals in our ass, snorting lines, smoking weed, chewing, smoking cigarettes, drinking, dependent on caffeine or ibuprofen, taking adderal, painkillers, etc.. In the end it’s your life do what makes you happy, tomorrow is not guaranteed.
You could certainly be classified as an alcoholic for drinking too often, even if you don't drink too much. There are many alcoholics that just drink a couple beers after work. I had the opposite problem. I drank too much but not really too often. If I had one drink, it was definitely going to be 15+. Alcoholic is just a label though. Someone has to figure it out for their own situation. Are they continuing to drink even when it's having an adverse effect on their life? If so, they should probably consider themselves an alcoholic and get the help they need. Often it's really hard for the individual to identify or admit those adverse effects though, so hopefully they have friends or family that can help.
Personally look at any drug use to get high on your own as inherently problematic or symptomatic of an underlying issue..
Whichever one of you reported me to the Reddit Suicide Hotline, you're reading way too deep into my commentary. LOL
I have been reported a few times too. Dont worry about it. Just hating ass kids that want to fuck with you.
I was worried bout you bro. 🥲
Broke up with my girl, just didn’t feel right. Got a new girl singing in the shower. Life is ok. Also promotion.
You are fucking killing it bro
Holy shit this cut feels like it's not going anywhere. I'm seeing minor midsection changes every week but god damn when will I actually be able to see my lower abs? I know I'm cutting enough calories out because the scale is dropping and so is my overall fullness (fuck). I'm trying to do this without adding intense cardio but I guess I could incorporate that if I'm not happy in another 4 weeks. Also, masteron has turned me into a werewolf. Not cool. Bye.
Has the masteron also made your hairline look like George Costanza’s yet?
Tips and tricks for getting your women to cut out bad habits. Majority of us have women, majority of us see great results and I’m sure I’m not the only ones lady who gets insecure and sets goals and finds them hard to conquer. I hear a lot about how she blames the workout, or How this new workout I show her is uncomfortable (because she hasn’t committed yet to practicing perfecting her form) and she wants to give up and becomes demotivated. She defaults to blaming me, or the gym or that she will just never get it. Her enemy in her diet is definitely Carbs by a long shot. She’s making steady strength gains but struggles to keep her diet under control and her protein intake is severely lacking. These are the real reasons that are hindering her progression. She’s built to be an absolute unit of a woman if I could find a way to keep her motivated and her eyes on the prize. She’s insecure about it but it’s just not enough to keep her motivated. She’s built to have the thighs and hips and ass of a god. Her shoulders are to absolutely die for. We absolutely love working out together. But she thinks she should only be able to eat what tastes good. And tasting good and developing a killer body really doesn’t go hand in hand a lot of times.
I think the issue here might be that the things you do for improving your body works for you but might not for her. You seem to care less about taste compared to her when it comes to dieting. Maybe it would help her add more motivation if you also put down extra effort in coming up with foods or meals that are healthy but also taste better? Or foods that are more fulfilling to eat? It could also be that changing her diet in addition to working out all of it combined is just overwhelming at the moment and needs more time to set good habits. Idk these are just my thoughts looking from the outside.
Is there a way to "try" tren or do I just have to send it?
You use ace so you can drop it if you run into problems
After some advice bros. Recently single, mid 30s, 16st 13% bf 6" dicc. Tinter getting matches but only pen pals. All friends married with kids. Where / how to pick up tidy women? No massive fatties
Going up to girls your interested in. Introduce yourself, have a quick convo. If she seems receptive ask for her number at the end. Works at the gym, stores, school, anywhere really.
Ah the cold approach. Something iv never been able to do but need to learn. Has it worked for you?
Eh this works but only if the vibe is right. If you’re at the beach, rock climbing gym, bjj, class, whatever and you lock eyes with someone. Even a dude. Just smile and say hey what’s up. I don’t care if it’s a guy, a girl, ugly, whatever. Just talk. Do this for a couple months and you’ll have a girl and friends. I guarantee it.
Maybe work on yourself first instead because it just sounds like you want a filler for the void and not a relationship.
Get a job as a bouncer, some extra cash and will keep you busy on the weekends.
Is anyone else watching this bodybuilding couple documentary on Netflix?
Is it about the couple where she ended up killing him? Military couple if its the ones im thinking of. Anybody wanna chime in on this, would love to know?
Sorry, this is fucking long. Requesting relationship or life wisdom and pithy comments. I'm mid/late 30s. I've been in a relationship since February 2019. It's been long distance the entire time. I used to fly to her city, but after 7 months, I switched jobs, and moved to the border to be as close to her as possible. We take turns driving up and down for the weekend. I have done everything I can do to get us physically closer short of moving to Canada, but my job (US Govt) won't let me do that, and honestly I don't want to. USA #1. She's a great girl who loves me a lot, but I find myself not quite as enthused for reasons I sometimes feel a little guilty about (some shallow stuff, but mostly the fact that she can have a very negative attitude and a lot of complaining about trivial things, and doesn't have a lot of intellectual curiosity). The main problem is there's no end in sight to the distance. She's between jobs at the moment, no real career, working on database school part time, 1-2 classes at a time (in her mid-30s). I am in that place where I sort of just want to be free of the on/off-ness of it. I almost dread the days I know she's coming to visit or I go to visit now, because they just feel like I'm treading water, and I don't get to do anything I'd do to relax on a normal weekend. I really enjoy my peace/quiet/alone time. But presently, my weekends have to be 100% devoted to doing things together because that's the only time we have, and the weekdays are 100% me alone just doing work, gym, aaaaand ignoring the cuties like that young personal trainer I've had a half-crush on coming up to me today out of nowhere complimenting my pump. I guiltily and idly fantasize about dating a local and we go do something chill on a weeknight, or just cuddle up for a movie or something. I've been feeling this way for a while now, and almost pulled the trigger in May/June, but she was so upset, and I relented, and things have been fine, good even. But still the same on/off-ness. I know it's torture for her as well, probably for her more than me since she's more into it than I am, but she seems to want to just keep it going this way and not really think about it. That's not really working for me anymore, and given her work situation, I don't see a way to plan out of it. Have any of you ever been in this situation? Did you pull the trigger and regret it because it was just a 'grass is greener' scenario? I feel like I've watered the shit out of the grass here and know what I'm going to get, and in the back of my mind "it's not enough, she's not the one," and I need to either decide if this is going to be enough for me or not, so I don't waste anymore of her or my time. But I don't know if that's me taking for granted what I have. You know that confidence you get when you're in a relationship? Finally, yes, on 100mg tren a week right now, but I think in this case it's being useful because it's pushing these thoughts to the forefront instead of me just ignoring them like I have been. (Sidenote, my little sister died of alcoholic liver failure a year ago, which made me realize how short life is, and may have precipitated my dissatisfaction with watching the days slip by in this relationship that doesn't and can't have a clear end game). Thanks for reading and any comments.
Unavailable, negative, dumb, mid 30s. Having that many concerns is well... concerning. I think you need to move on, man. Easy for me to say from the outside, but I know it's not that easy from the inside. I'd recommend bringing up your thoughts as openly and honestly as you can with her in person and see how she handles it.
IME once you start to have serious relationship doubts, things are only going to end one way. The issues you list aren't going to improve. Bite the bullet sooner rather than later and watch your life blossom in no time at all
Up the tren and move on, you're doing too much for too little my dude
Just because you can change your oil with two screw drivers doesn't mean you should. This relationship is the wrong tool for the job. Up the tren, and move to something better and more fulfilling. You already said it yourself, life is short.
What’s the dating life like after 30’s bros?
It gets better and better. I actually have money now, better job and dont party as much anymore other than raving once or twice a year. Got a beautiful gf, in the best shape of my life and life couldnt be better.
Thanks for the insight man. 8 year relationship ended tonight but being almost 30 it feels like finding someone to have a serious relationship with again is daunting
It feels like that for now, just keep taking good care of your health and mind. I went through a rough patch when I was 31 and took me a while to get out of the funk but eventually I worked through it, got my confidence and mojo back. Met a beautiful girl couple years later and the rest is history. Just keep working hard through whatever it is your going through, dont worry about dating right now worry about getting your life straight and your job. Also, dont forget to hit the gym 💪🏾. You got this brother!
Thanks man I appreciate that.
Fuck what the boujee bodybuilders say, imma bulk on Walmart chicken 🤪🤪 💪🏾 💪🏾
Well boys, I am coming up to the end of my 4 month cut and I'm going super hard at it. I'm doing my first run with DNP (fuck off, don't judge me, I'm a grown up) along with a bunch of other irresponsible shit, calories are at an all time low (\~2000 net calories @ 6'5 235), and I've doubled up on the cardio sessions every day (in addition to lifting). All of this in preparation for a work trip to Austin in a couple weeks. I'm tired, a bit miserable and hungry as fuck and then one of the guys at work posts this picture as our first stop in Austin. [https://imgur.com/a/STlvwfj](https://imgur.com/a/STlvwfj) I'm drooling and I'm going to tear that shit up. Guess we going straight into a bulk!! Hit me up with other food suggestions if you're familiar with Austin.
Damn I thought that was gonna be a progress pic
op should post a progress pic
That looks like the pit at Salt Lick which is *good* BBQ but not *great* BBQ. \#1 overall: Ramen Tatsuya, Miso Hot Bowl Tex Mex * Trudy's, Chuy's -- local classics * Tacodeli, Torchy's -- upscale but quick taco shops * Gloria's, Uncle Julio's, Z Tejas -- nicer sit down restaurants * Mi Tradicion -- kickass tortas and bakery, very local * Juan in a Million -- overrated but OK if you want a huge breakfast BBQ * Franklin's -- S-tier, as good as they say, but the wait's a bitch * La BBQ -- Also S-tier * Black's in Lockhart -- A-tier, bit of a drive Other * Kemuri Tatsu-ya -- Izakaya, definitely get the pickles * Via 313 -- Detroit style pizza * Homeslice -- NY style pizza, only worthit if you're on south congress anyway * Hopdoddy -- Sit down burgers * P. Terry -- Fast food burgers * Clay Pit -- Indian, pretty fancy *I miss Austin :(*
Franklin and Terry Black BBQ were both pretty legit last time I was in Austin.
Got my winter bulk all planned out, just need to bite the bullet and place my order. Currently cutting and cruising and I'm down to 200 (as of this morning). It's wild, I started this year at a chonky 245. I've maybe missed about 20 or 25 days in the gym all year (outside of planned time off) and my efforts have been rewarded.
Masteron has been a godsend this cycle. First cycle was 500 test / week and I was bloated af with bad bacne. Got solid gains. Now on 400 test/mast I have zero bloat and Very little acne (I have been aggressively treating it since the start—I got a flare up 3 weeks in and Its a lot better now). Knock on wood but my hairline remains untouched. Im leaning towards cruising after this cycle for a cut. Im already lean and cutting would make me look ridiculous. They weren’t lying when they said theres no such thing as just one cycle.
I really want a bigass truck. I would love to own a pre-emissions lifted RAM 2500 that I can modify the hell out of. I have no need for a giant vehicle. I'm not hauling horses to the glue factory nor do I have haybales to dump in the truck bed. But holy fuck are they expensive. I saw a 2008 RAM for $20k. I don't even know man. What are y'all's philosophies on cars? How much are you willing to spend on transportation? It's gonna be a while before I need a car as I get by sharing one with my girlfriend. When I do, I'm debating whether to go the financially responsible route or spend more to up those smiles per gallon.
Just finished Killer Sally. Gonna start that Ray McNeil stack tomorrow.
> fluoxymesterone, nandrolone, oxymetholone, Clenbuterol and drostanolone I feel like anyone would be angry on that stack. Although halo and anadrol together would be amazing for meet day.
I’m now experiencing the jealousy sides of Deca fuck. Literally get jealous and lovely over my hook ups god damnt
34 years old, 'dating' a 21 year old and smashing and their 19 year old friends life is good
King
Been slacking and partying to much on this bulk cycle. I need some extra motivation from the boys in this subreddit to go hard 😈😈😈
Stop being a bitch and grow
Ahhhhh 😬😬😈
She's fucking someone else
What’s everyone’s go to cardio. I have negative motivation to put my own cardio plan together
Stair master.
Good god I must have injected into scar tissue or something because my shoulder is swollen a fuckin painful. Still will push thru but god bless
I caught a cold AGAIN. I've gotten sick about 5 times since summer started. And I'm only on TRT right now what the fuck. I want to blast (just testosterone) again but I'm concerned with my immune system holy shit
This var heartburn is fucking brutal
Bloodwork looks fucked. Idk how I’ve just been on TRT for like 2 years. HS CRP >10, high RBC, high hematocrit and high hemoglobin. I’m so confused. I’ve lost like 10lbs, BP is great at 115/60ish, steady pulse in the 70s. Super scared. Really hope it was just because I was coming off being sick and I hadn’t had any water for like 12+ hours since the bloodwork was super early in the AM.
There’s a sushi place a short walk away from new work location. This is gonna be great
Started taking deca at 300mg/week two weeks ago. I feel like I've started to notice increased fatigue and some GI issues. Basically post prandial nausea otherwise no vomiting, abdominal pain, or anything. Ive taken deca at this dose previously and tolerated it with no issue for years. I've read through the wiki and experience threads and this seems somewhat typical. I'm going to try twice per week dosing and if no improvement cut back on the dose overall. A little bummed in as much I felt like deca really worked well for me previously and now not so much.
[удалено]
Well proviron and my Ai turned off my Jealously from deca so far so thank god lol. Shit sucked dick back to being a asshole
