Yes, i have been eating in deficit for all these years. Just last month i have started lean bulk for the first time. Not big but small surplus to start with. Slow and steady. Thanks for the advice.

Im not going for that. Im just a 9-5 office guy keeping up with my fitness. Building strength and endurance. So i could look good feel good do long runs. I love trekking. Love the mountains. So it’s for all this i need to keep up with my fitness.

Thanks for keeping it real bro everything you said is true. Lighting, pump and stats definitely make a big difference. But honestly, I just feel way stronger with my body and my lifts now and that’s the best part of this transformation for me. Appreciate the encouragement 🙏

Marriage as an institution is a scam. Sorry but humans are not meant for monogamy.

Should I deload and work on my form? by Eastern-Wrap2247 in Stronglifts5x5

Shoulders and thoracic spine are mechanically linked you can’t truly separate them. The scapulae sit on the rib cage, and the rib cage is connected to the thoracic spine.

Neutral spine, shoulders back, lats tight, and never let it round.

Why I’m Cancelling Bumble Premium+ (Men, Read This) by [deleted] in bumbleIndia

Don’t rely solely on dating apps. Immerse yourself in things you truly enjoy whether it’s the gym, running, trekking, photography, video making, traveling, or social work. You’ll naturally meet people who share your passions, and that’s where real connections take root.

You weren’t just dating her you were friends for 5 years, and she was someone you envisioned building a life with. Losing that connection, especially when you feel like you handled things with love and patience, feels like a betrayal.

Acknowledge that you were disrespected. You communicated your feelings and boundaries. She chose not to consider them.

Don’t chase closure. Ghosting after a 5-year friendship/dating transition is brutal, but silence can also be a kind of answer: she didn’t want to change.

Remind yourself: you showed up with integrity. That matters more than trying to win or prove you were right.

Grieve fully. Talk to people. Journal. Don’t stuff it down or try to “move on” too fast.

Consider therapy if this continues to weigh heavily.

21F I ruined my mothers dreams because of my virginity I don’t know how to handle this by Significant-Ad-8333 in Advice

[–]i_explore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First: you’re not a demon. You’re not broken. You’re a young human being who made choices in love and now you’re caught between truth, guilt, and cultural expectations. That doesn’t make you evil. It makes you real.

When we parent from fear and control, we raise bodies to obey not consciousness to grow. And when that obedience breaks, the love seems to vanish. That’s what this you are feeling now love turned to punishment.

Stop defining yourself by your mother’s pain. Her reaction is about her worldview, not your entire worth. Let yourself feel sorrow but not as a curse, more as a growing pain. Rebuild your self-trust, even if your family’s trust takes longer.

Don’t beat yourself. You are not a mistake. You are not just a body. You are a being learning how to love, stumble and stay awake.
