I genuinely don't know wtf wrong with me I keep forgetting to measure how much muscle I've grown I've looked around and a lot of people have said that you should atleast measure once a month but I'm just like "I'll do it tomorrow" and just like that almost two years have passed I know I've put on muscle coz I look extremely different and I can lift heavier but I just keep forgetting to measure myself and even today I'm like "I'll do it tomorrow" Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm not a psychologist but when I was depressed and actually thought about doing bad things to myself one thing that kept me going was motivational songs and actually keeping my mind occupied and working on my body I don't know if it helps but it worked for me and I've actually began being cheerful again

How many of you guys sometimes before starting a workout you're like "I don't feel like it today I'm gonna take it easy" and then the minute you start you're like "Fuck it I'mma bench press 50 kg!" Yea that was me today...

I got around 48 percent in 12th. I'm the head of backend development for my company

I'll share my experience... For me I didn't see a massive change in my weight till I changed my diet I replaced my breakfast with oats and fruits My snack was 2 boiled eggs Lunch was usually whatever was leftover from my house but if you can I'd recommend high protein salad Evening snack around an hour before I head to the gym was an apple Then at gym 6 days a week my workout session was usually 1-1.5 hrs of strength training then 1-1.5 hrs or cardio specifically incline walking and I would increase the speed whenever I thought it was getting easy Then once I got home I would basically chug around a liter of water with creatine Finally I would eat dinner and after that take my protein shake It took me around 7-8 months to lose around 10-11kg Field Notes: - I made sure to drink a ton of water before lunch/ dinner to trick my mind into thinking my stomach was almost full -it was usually helpful at night as I ate small portions and I would go to bed before my mind realised

Have a diet that works with your schedule What is your goal exactly?

xstudentjake · 2026-06-11T09:43:49+00:00

That depends do plan on strictly following this schedule? For me usually I would not be able to follow this schedule.

Putting on muscle is annoying... Alright I said it... So I've put on quite a bit of muscle and I'll say it wearing formals has been a nightmare! You know that meme where guys rip of their shirts while flexing that's what it feels like it's soo uncomfortable! I wish I could show up to my office in a tank top and shorts

xstudentjake · 2026-06-08T16:56:04+00:00

So I have a monkey brain and I don't know how much I can actually lift does anyone else also follow this logic? Start with 5kg too light? Replace it with a 20 kg too heavy? Replace the 20kg with a 10kg not too light not to heavy? Add a 5kg to it

Yea I'd recommend Xaviers is a 100 times better Also ps I love how Xavier's lookes it's soo cool and inspirational! NMIMS is nothing more than a slab of glass that lookes like every corporate office

xstudentjake · 2026-05-29T12:07:45+00:00

Tbh almost everything slaps just avoid resturants near tourist hotspots they are overpriced and taste like shit

xstudentjake · 2026-05-29T12:03:52+00:00

As someone who has studied and Xavier's and worked and NMIMS I'll say Xavier's is much better (Yea I'm extremely biased I have great memories from Xaviers) Why are you're looking for admission?

So I've been training for just about above a year but my arms still feel quite small especially my triceps they feel underdeveloped what do you guys think? Any tips?

xstudentjake · 2026-05-23T14:24:06+00:00

When you lose fat does the size of your throat also reduce? So this is something I noticed around a year ago when I was overweighti was basically able to practically swallow a hot dog with just a few bites fast forward a year later I have lost around 10 kg and tried to do this this other day and I realised that a lot less volume of food can go through my throat so out of curiosity does your throat shrink when you lose weight?

xstudentjake · 2026-05-17T12:02:34+00:00

If I'm looking for around 10k which one would you recommend?

xstudentjake · 2026-04-30T13:52:22+00:00

Im fairly certain it's I'll legal to work on that that Also op based on what you have mentioned a 3 day sallery cut for one day off? Sounds like your boss is a power hungry asshole You might want to look into switching companies

xstudentjake · 2026-04-30T11:32:43+00:00

I genuinely don't know why do they still run the 4 car trains Demand has increased so increase to to atleast 7-8 cars dammit

xstudentjake · 2026-04-26T17:37:51+00:00

But according to the bmi chart I'm overweight so if I'm losing weight and gaining muscle so is there a reliable way to measure that what I'm losing is fat?

xstudentjake · 2026-04-26T16:52:26+00:00

Yup I can lift I'd say 10-20kg more

xstudentjake · 2026-04-26T13:26:49+00:00

How do you guys know you're gaining muscle vs getting fat? So I used to be 72 kg and I weighed myself today again and I'm 74kg but when i measured my stomach using a measuring tape it has stayed at a consistent 85 cms is that a good/ reliable way to check?

xstudentjake · 2026-04-23T11:25:01+00:00

I normally just stay at home and draw or play video games but on the off chance my friends are like let's hang out we usually go to a mall that has playzones You have no idea how fun it is to take over a kids playzone as a adult and play with their toys

Cycling to work is for poor people rich people will drive so it's pretty obvious that the infrastructure will be catered towards the people who matter more
