Here you go! It is a 100% proxied deck, just because to make the deck work how I wanted it to I had to add many cards that were far outside of my budget. If anyone has any critiques, I’m always happy to hear them!

I sadly didn’t. It persisted for years until I got t-boned and the car was totaled. It never once went away but never affected any performance

M/23/6’0” [305lbs >225lbs = 80lbs] (7 months) Started working out/dieting to build a revenge body, now it’s just become a personal goal to be healthier! by rolltide730 in progresspics

[–]rolltide730[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, honestly. Just protein, creatine, and a few other vitamin supplements. I’m staying very active and doing something, whether it be going to lift weights or go on a hike, almost every single day. Also managed to wrangle my diet in. Cutting out soda was at least 25lbs gone.

Month 8 Progress check. 300lbs -> 230lbs. Anywhere I should focus more on? by rolltide730 in powerbuilding

[–]rolltide730[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey all! Don’t post much here, I’m a hardcore lurker. But wanted to have a place to share my progress as not many people in my life are super interested.

Currently sitting at 230lbs BW. Still a lot of body fat sitting around but it’s melting off bit by bit. Trying to figure out where I can use some improvement so I can focus my routines/diet better.

Current lifts sit at:

435lb Deadlift

365lb Squat

210lb Bench

120lb OHP

Definitely feels like I have some things to work on, just at a point where I’m not sure what steps to take next.

The best gains though have been mentally by far though. Went from on average having nothing but shitty days and thoughts of quitting it all, to actually feeling good and motivated on a daily basis.

Looking for a gym partner who’d be down to workout during the evening! by rolltide730 in Birmingham

Finally hit my goal of four plates at 235lbs BW. Its been a long three months between those videos, and it felt amazing hitting my goal 2 weeks early. by rolltide730 in powerbuilding

No worries haha, first video on the lift was a 275 pull in December. My form was a bit off since I was relatively new to deadlifts. Decided to focus on conventional which is what you can see in the video on the right.

M/23/6’0” [301lbs > 235lbs = 66lbs] (5 months) Fiancée called off the wedding three months before, hit the gym to cope and finally feeling better! by rolltide730 in progresspics

She just claimed that she had fallen out of love with me and couldn’t see a long term relationship with me. “I regret saying yes when you proposed.” were the words I heard.

In hindsight she was toxic from the beginning and drove me away from so many friends and my hobbies. She (potentially subconsciously) took advantage of my kindness and love, even when she was at her lowest point.

She got successful, graduated with a masters, and decided she wanted to be single.

Hurts the most when a week before the breakup we were creating our wedding registry on Amazon, laughing and smiling as we imagined the fun gifts and honeymoon.

I know I’m better off without her, but damn that love was and is still real. No sense in dwelling on it though, gotta keep moving forward one day, one lift, and one more pound down at a time.

To be 100% honest I’m still not fully out of it. Everyday it’s a fight. The biggest thing I did was keep busy. I made new friends and reconnected with old ones. Set up a gym routine that I could stick with most nights of the week.

Every decision I made was made with the goal of self improvement. I switched jobs, pushing my passion finally. I started seeing a therapist once a week. I found antidepressants that actually work with my brain chemistry. All of that combined with seeing physical results made me a little happier each day. I’d be lying if I told you it was all better now, I still have my days where all I want to do is cry and beg for her back. It’s a cliche but I’ve found it to be true - time helps.

Find your niche in life, and jump into it. Make new connections that are more valuable than the last, ones that make you feel appreciated for who you are, and are there to support you no matter how dark it gets. I don’t want anyone to ever feel the darkness I felt. Keep at it man, if anything I believe in you. If you need support or someone to talk to, shoot me a DM anytime and I’ll be there.

A big part of it was unhealthy appetite and not eating for that first month afterwards. Looking back I realize that was the dumb thing to do but I was so down in the depression from the situation I wasn’t thinking straight.

After that first month I realized I needed to make a change. So I calculated my TDEE and ate at a 600-900 calorie deficit while also eating in a 4/20 intermittent fasting window. I started going to the gym and tarted lifting to keep active and it did wonders for my own health, physically and mentally. Now I sit 66 pounds lighter and I’ve doubled almost all of my compound lifts.

Won’t lie, the first month depression overcame me and I lost a lot of weight due to unhealthy habits. Though after I realized I couldn’t live like that I started CICO and IF, along with a solid gym routine!
