Does anyone ever feel like they just will never get there?

[MercurialXIII]

Ive been working out for 5 months now. The first 2 months the progress was amazing. I stayed in deficit for the first 4 months but after month 2 saw no progress in muscle/strength/or fat loss. Last week i had summer break and gained about 2 pounds boozing with friends and going out to eat a couple times. For a person who started at sub 20% bf I feel like i should have been cut enough to be able to bulk and put on muscle w/o looking fat for a period of time.

Honestly I just feel like ive stalled and I will never reach my goal. I feel like no matter how hard of a deficit (I used to do 1600 now I am on 1800) I go on I never lose weight but as soon as I go to even 2300 which should be maintainence I put on weight so easily.

it's all about the mind and your discipline.
uncommon effort produces uncommon results

Of course at some point everybody feels like that, but what I'm doing is, If after two years of training and proper nutrition I still haven't reached my goals, or made huge steps towards them, then i will start to lose faith but till then I'm motivated like hell and I give everything in the gym, and you should too

I've been training for 2 years and made some gains but felt very down at times. Work hard. YouTube ct Fletcher for some motivation. He's the man

It took a good year of solid and consistent training and nutrition for me to get to a place where I'm proud of my physique. Just gotta stay on the train, patience is key in transforming your body, it takes time.

Patience is the most important thing, i stay motivated by tracking my workouts from week to week and see how my strength increases.. Then i know i'm on the right track

5 months is short..trust me I feel like I'll never get there sometimes. Watching the Worlds Strongest Man and seeing guys rep 700 on squat when I haven't even repped 300 yet..shi**y feeling but I have to be patient
