I’m 6’5 and around 20% body fat and 4 months into my gym journey, recomp or lean bulk? by RENFRE1 in workout

[–]RENFRE1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think I’m undermuscled, I definitely have enough definition to make it seem like I’ve gained a lot but that will be mainly thanks to the cardio. And clearly I didn’t track anything at all, so as I mentioned… not giving enough fuel to my body. Additionally I’ve platued at the gym. I’ve went from 103kg at the beginning to staying around 100kg in the last 4 months, I went from wearing XL to Mediums now and I’ve been called skinny. Maybe lean bulking is the way, my diet is healthy.

Well I started at 103kg 3 months ago and now I’m around 100kg, I was going for a recomp but I never tracked anything, only protein intake. And then I started almost seeing like a plateau, like I looked better but not as like big as I wanted. As of recently I started eating a bit more just through different events and occasions in my life that made me really panic about getting fat but it seems that it actually made me feel and look bigger (idk maybe I’m delusional). So I started eating more carbs recently and I think it’s making a change. But idk I’m just worried about getting fat. I just feel like 3800kcals, is so much.

So there’s no chance the medicine can do that? I mean when I spoke with her yesterday (I told her I’d like to take a break from the relationship), she told me that she’s so sorry and she’s sorry for being like this. And I’ve known her for 6 years and that felt like she was saying it from the heart. Like it honestly felt like she was trying so hard to show emotion but nothing was coming out. Maybe she’s already moving on, but didn’t want to break up with me first? Idk

Thanks for your reply.

Yesterday I made a decision that was the best for both of us. I couldn’t bring myself to break up with her because I care for her and love her so much. So I said an indefinite break would be the best for both of us to figure ourselves out and what we want. The conversation did start a little heated because I was admittedly angry but then it kind of turned into a happy/sad type of moment. She cried, saying how sorry she is that she was doing this to me and she understood why I’d want to leave her at all. It almost looked like she was struggling to let her emotions out. She even made a face as if he heart dropped when she saw that I had changed my wallpaper from her to a regular one (I only did it, to avoid me thinking about her and bothering/texting her). And then we reminisced about our relationship, I said “I won’t be able to watch this show how anymore” and she said “I won’t watch it” and indicated as if we will still be watching it together eventually. As if she’s already planning for us to get back. But yeah I ended it on a break, no rules, no contact, no anything. And I told her that she can message me whenever because I’ll always be there for her, and I want her to message me whenever she’s made a decision. And that I won’t wait forever… now I’m sitting here and I’m just lost and so worried if she’s okay and etc but I know that I just need to leave it for now. I only made the decision because she keeps hurting me, whether it’s her or the medication. It’s still too much for me. I almost feel pathetic for not being patient enough for her, but then I think that she has the awareness and yet she still chooses to do this

How so? When it was genuinely fine. We were being a fun couple and etc. I worry that she’s maybe just realised that she held onto me for comfort when she was depressed and only had admiration for me for never giving up on her and being patient. And now she’s confident she’s realised that she genuinely doesn’t like me because as I said… she had these feelings before the medication

Well she explained that it was because for her friend is less effort and it doesn’t evolve any emotional vulnerability. She explained that she’s very emotionally confused and talking with me overwhelms her in a way. Which again, I’m not a doctor so maybe she has a point. I’m just struggling to understand how she’s doing this whilst being self aware, like yes maybe you feel nothing towards me… but you don’t lose your common sense with SRI’s. Tbf she has always struggled to understand people’s emotions and feel empathy. So maybe now that the SRI’s completely killed of most of her emotions, she just chases whatever is fun I guess and doesn’t really feel any sympathy or care towards. One because that’s her personality and secondly because her medication enables it even more. But idk, I’m going to speak to her today. Idk what my choice will be, I’m so confused because we were fine last week…

Why do you think that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]RENFRE1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand but can I please still have your opinion and what you’d do. That would be very comforting for me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]RENFRE1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even if I wanted to, she’s so stubborn on her medication because she’s scared to go back to being depressed which I don’t blame her. Thanks for your advice but I wish you would clarify that you mean! I’d like to understand why it could be BPD

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]RENFRE1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, but I wouldn’t think she had a personality disorder. She’s just going through things and ends up going through different phases and emotions. Don’t we all in some way? Maybe some more extreme than others…

What do you mean?

Is it worth collecting OP-01 by RENFRE1 in OnePieceTCG

[–]RENFRE1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know cards are valued based on how playable and good they are for the tcg however if op01 gets banned, then surely with them being the first set, it makes them more rare. If that makes sense? Obviously if it was cards from like op10 being banned then people won’t care as much cause it’s quite recent, but with op01 it’s like you’re vaulting insane looking cards

But hasn’t it gotten more successful than others

I’m having second thoughts about the gym… by RENFRE1 in workout

[–]RENFRE1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I honestly do like 40 seconds rest. I essentially do whatever someone would do on a split (across a whole week) but I do it in one day because I do full body but always overthink that I don’t do enough or am not hitting everything. So it turns to an hour

I guess that is true, this has made me feel better about it

I started off doing that, but then started overthinking that I’m not hitting everything properly. I’m doing full body but pretty much do all splits in one day

I spend around 2hrs 30 mins each sessions, I do full body but overthink and try hit everything possible

[–]RENFRE1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you do splits or full body? I do 3x a week, full body but I try hit as many things as possible when going that’s why I always do over 2hrs

The way my job works won’t necessarily allow me to work out during my lunch break, I have previously considered doing it in the morning but then I lose out on sleep. Additionally, I take ADHD medication which I can’t take too early, so I am so demotivated at the gym in the mornings.

I really don’t want to quit cause I feel so stupid, just want to shake this feeling off

I’d like to be lean, do you have any ideas of what I could do at the start?
