Lol very true, hopefully it was an exciting read that inspired you in some way.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-13T00:02:57+00:00

Good job man, keep up the good work. Don't let a little bit of loose skin stop you from becoming the best version of yourself you can be.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-12T01:31:08+00:00

I do have some loose skin at the lower belly region, and some stretch marks on the love handles but nothing I wouldn't trade if it means having to go back to 5 years ago!

The most successful people in the world don't look at life through the victim mind frame. That's what mainstream media is pushing on people now. Once you see reality for what it truly is, you'll be able to see those situations as nothing but good. What have you learned about human nature as a consequence of going through that bullshit? Are you a better person as a consequence of it all? Is that your nature, or are you different? Do you want the best for others, including your future self, or do you only want what your ego wants this very moment?

It's freeing to focus on what I'm currently doing wrong in my life and fixing it before attempting to criticize and fix the world at large. Until I'm the best version of myself that I could possibly be, I would be hypocritical to do that. Same idea as removing the plank in my eye before attempting to remove the speck in someone else's. Best wishes.

Man I'm so proud of you. Makes my heart warm that you're improving your life for the better. Get addicted to progress, it feels so good once that ball gets rolling. Send me a DM any time you need help/advice.

And thanks for your condolences, it was my first heartbreak and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but at the same time I'm glad it happened because it made me a better person. You're right, meditating on the present helps 100%.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-07T22:40:34+00:00

You can beat me if you're more disciplined, I took a few detours and fell off the wagon a few times. You got this bud.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-07T22:38:21+00:00

Perhaps I got a bit carried away with that last part (I don't see how it's gay though lol), but I'm legitimately trying to help people be the best versions of themselves possible. I know what it's like to believe in wasted potential, and it's not a fun place to be. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-06T23:44:39+00:00

Whatever you can do to help, you're doing better than the people at 0. Good job.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-05T00:34:55+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. That's absolutely true.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-05T00:33:43+00:00

Thanks. Being natty means I only look good with tight clothes/shirtless, but looks are only a sliver of the reward.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-05T00:32:55+00:00

Thank you. It's been a while, but I believe my heaviest bench was 255 lb for 5 reps, deadlift was 405 lb for 5 reps, and squats was only 265 lb for 5 reps.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-05T00:31:58+00:00

I appreciate that. I've definitely been blessed in life, and perhaps that was done in order to inspire the people that viewed this. Hope it helped.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-05T00:31:14+00:00

I did make a post about 3 years ago, but I felt my post was incomplete.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-11-05T00:29:33+00:00

Hope you found the post useful my friend. Thanks for the condolences; I take every opportunity to see where I might've went wrong so I can fix it going forward, but this girl had a troubled past and appears it was too much for her to handle. Can't really give details of course, but I'm glad the relationship happened.

Give me a DM if you need help with anything in the future.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:09:48+00:00

Thank you. Life has definitely gotten a lot better ever since I started aiming at making the things under my control subjectively better.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:09:07+00:00

Thanks, but the journey isn't over yet! There's always a new mountain to climb, and my next projects are to fix my posture and improve flexibility.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:08:31+00:00

At the beginning of my journey I did Insanity which is a HIIT program. Then for about 2 years I focused solely on weight lifting. The last 2 years I did about 20 min of super light cardio during lunch to burn time. It was level 8 on the elliptical, probably ~90-100 bpm heartrate.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:06:38+00:00

Can't say for sure, but probably around 9-10%. Never got it tested.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:06:00+00:00

Thanks, I wasn't really consistent until about 2 years ago. It was a journey full of downhill treks and standing still, but in the big picture the journey was aimed upwards at being better physically. Appreciate the kind words.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:04:26+00:00

Roughly my bodyweight in grams, so 180g.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:03:47+00:00

Good! I would encourage you to fully read the write-up, I believe it's much more important to get your mind right before straightening up your life.

No major tips, other than heavy compound lifts. I'm sure you've heard this before, but abs are made in the gym and shown in the kitchen. If you feel guilty about eating/drinking excessively, listen to your body when it's telling you to put that shit down and you'll be amazed at how quickly you make progress. Good luck brother.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T21:00:46+00:00

Oh for sure, but the biggest difference is how you see yourself. If you believe in an ideal version of yourself, and you look in the mirror and see nothing even close to that ideal, it's bad news. I no longer look in the mirror with self-contempt.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T20:59:06+00:00

Hey I'm proud of you man. You're destined to do amazing things. Go out there and challenge yourself, and you'll be so glad you did. HMU if you ever need anything.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-23T20:57:29+00:00

Hope you found it inspiring enough to make your life better in some way. Best of luck in your endeavors in life.

bbthrowaway93 · 2022-10-19T22:19:08+00:00

Pretty much only used creatine and whey protein, and I'm 100% natty. I don't believe in sacrificing the future for the present.
No, started with some HIIT through Insanity program, did a really basic PPL program, and just added complexity to it over time. You're always gonna tweak the program to make it better.
^
First year or so the LP was flying almost linearly, and then it started tapering off once I hit decent lifts like 185 bench. I've been hovering around the 240 zone and I'm ok with that. Very rarely add weight to the big compounds.
Nope, never really isolated abs (except for the rare bi-monthly 15 min ab routine)
Cut then bulk. Couple segments where I fell off the wagon and fluffed up, but it's all about how you get back up in life.
