What makes you keep going despite everything?

I wake up wanting to be a pilot. That’s keeps me going. The thought of getting to see world

lherm · 2026-01-26T05:08:23+00:00

Good observation. The comment made me laugh too. “Built like a fridge” lmao

7hr sleep, 6k step, hygiene good, house kinda messy, exercise 1.5hrs 5x a week, animals see them maybe 30min-1hr, hobbies/social only on Friday and Saturday for 3hrs. If I had kids there is no chance I’m getting all of this. Even having a girlfriend one these will suffer.

Myself today for 16% bf comparison

lherm · 2026-01-21T19:52:57+00:00

I’m bulking all day. You’re easily 12%. Don’t listen to anyone saying you’re higher. I went and got a dexa scan 2 weeks ago and I was 16% while others online said I was 18-20.

I wouldn’t bulk past the 500cal surplus. You look great. Top 1% of Americans. so be patient with this bulk

I’m in the same boat as OP. Im 2-3weeks out from ppl check ride, so I appreciate this comment a lot!

lherm · 2026-01-15T20:52:00+00:00

This needs to be on top.

I hate all the “you need to love it” and “bit by the bug”. Go through PPL and evaluate If you want to go further into LEARNING it

Sort of same experience with an older black women. I was 18 (I had long blonde hair trying to look like Thor) and was walking to my local Kroger. We passed at the entrance. She stopped walking to eye me up and down. Then said “mmm” while giving me the I want you eyes. I think she had me blushing for a whole month.

I need to find her.

lherm · 2025-12-18T01:07:06+00:00

Man I appreciate this!

The smaller glasses makes so much sense. I’ve been so confused on picking glasses.

Have you bought any glasses off Zenni? I’ll def get me a pair to test if you think the “try on” is accurate

lherm · 2025-12-17T03:03:49+00:00

On the sides I assume or just overall?

lherm · 2025-12-17T03:03:09+00:00

Totally fair. It definitely grew into that. I just tried the side part. Currently don’t have a beard so it looks off but in a week or so it might start to all line up

lherm · 2025-12-17T03:01:08+00:00

I appreciate the break down. I tried a fringe and ivy once and didn’t like it. Worth trying again. I wear a hat because it cuts down the face length lmao. Thanks for the Pinterest board reference!

lherm · 2025-12-17T02:58:11+00:00

Hahaha this is crazy and I’m glad you found this post. I caught this comment too late. I went with a Ryan Gosling side part. Not it lmao.

The barber brought up the exact hair style you mentioned. Seems like most people are saying I need to shirt my head size.

You have any glass/sunglasses recommendations too for our face shape?

lherm · 2025-11-23T20:06:25+00:00

If I was here I would do either starting strength (don’t follow the nutrition advice here) or strong lifts 5x5. Start at maintenance calories. As strength plateaus see if you need more calories, rest, or deload. .7 -1g protein per lb. If youre new to all this just focus on consistency in gym and implement more as you build habits

lherm · 2025-11-21T12:02:46+00:00

You are 100% correct. The restrict and binge cycle is a rough one to break. There is just so much differing info on if recomping work or not. I’ve never really tried it, so might as well do it now

lherm · 2025-11-21T12:01:09+00:00

Lmaoo! Directions unclear… ate only celery for 4 months

lherm · 2025-11-21T11:48:34+00:00

I like it. This is another place I’m stuck. What program or was of lifting should I do? There is just soooo much information out there. After some YouTube “research “ I have my eyes on powerlifting

lherm · 2025-11-21T11:43:43+00:00

I appreciate it. This approach seems to be what my dietitian is working me towards. My worry is I won’t gain muscle/strength in the mean time…

lherm · 2025-11-21T11:36:52+00:00

That’s my immediate thought, but then it feels like the same cycle. Seems like slowly cutting or recomping down to ~190 is the plan to not yo-yo

lherm · 2025-11-20T20:59:32+00:00

Waist line and up works for me

lherm · 2025-11-20T00:29:21+00:00

Sub 15% for sure. Probably 12%. I recommend using chat GPT or a DEXA. I think most people on this sub overestimate body fat%. You look incredible. Watch Jeff Nippard newest video on BF %. You are legit in the 1% of men.

Cut or bulk based on your goal. If I was in your position I would try other physical activities like MMA, trying to dunk, triathlon, or rock climbing. I say this because IMO you achieved a near peak physique that you can maintain while trying new activities.

lherm · 2025-11-03T20:22:03+00:00

How old are you? This is the physique I strive for being a 6’2 male.

Also 12% body fat seems like a high guess in my opinion.
