ITT: we post how it changed our lives

I can't get over this, and I keep telling everyone around me to hit up the gym.

chit is amazing, best decision of my life. Body and mind changed. I feel amazing erryday.

only draw back is the expensive diet and gym membership, all worth the investment of course.

I was smoking and drinking for 6 years, no exercise.
was skinny as ****
Now the gains are coming hard and I've never had so much focus in my life.
Everything is going as planned
Will continue to do this till death.

Definitely op, it gets even better when you actually look like you lift.

Lifting gave me some confidence for sure. It's been a hobby for 2a years and I've recently gone on a cut. I was like daaaamn when I didn't lose much muscle, lifts stayed the same, and I look juicy as phuck. Im grateful that video games started to bore me..best time invested. Shrooms too, first time I did them I expanded my mind a little (srs)

gimme 2 years,

I'll be goin fukin hard with the best diet I can do.

I get a little impatient but thats changing.

[WeightsEryDay]

I have learned a ton from this site, esp misc.

Used to be 200 pounds skinny fat. Double chin from hell, acne like a pizza and no confidence. I had confidence but it was destroyed once I realized what I was.

Best part is I completely worked from the ground up.

Lost 40 pounds, became somewhat thin but not nearly aesthetic. Started lifting, saw them muscles appearing.

As of now I have aot of confidence back but still working on it. Ive noticed I get looks from girls and even hooked up with one I know (thought I would be foreveralone). My peers respect me more, and I feel great. I feel like I have had decent genetics and they're just now showing. Once Im done with this cut Ima have dat dere jawline. Will post pics upon completion.

The amount of girls, confidence, and maturity I gained from just 2 years of weight training has changed me and everyone sees it.

[jayohthatman]

hasnt changed my life but definitely enjoy it

[monoshunter]

Made me a more dedicated/focused person in all areas of life. I.e. sticking to diet, following career goals etc.

best decision of my life!

[ThCweights]

The bigger life style changes really happened when I started getting up into the 190 lb range (202 right now).

Also I went from 139 6' 0" to 202 6' 1" in 2 years so it's a HUGE change 63 lb's

[Lawlstud]

Feel way better losing weight, gaining confidence. Holy thing is fuakin injuries. Been working out for 10 weeks, injured legs twice in the time spent 4 weeks not being able to do squats or deads. Last week something happened to my wrist and its useless. Thought it would get better on its own but still hurts and can't rotate my wrist, going to doctor tomorrow

[hardgainersrs]

Don't know were I would be right now without bbing only been going hard for 6-7 months and the difference in confidence, self discipline and all around mood will never be the same. Can't wait to hit 200 pounds.



Started at 145 ish sitting at 162 and even that feels worlds apart.

I was 220 30+ % bodyfat at 5'8. I was miserable, fat, weak, and generally high 24/7. I started lifting dropped over 50 lbs pretty much quit smoking pot and now even by misc standards I am decently strong. Women actually look at me now and I have dropped all of the social anxiety I at one time had. Bodybuilding is seriously the best thing that has ever happened to me. I've posted these pics before but here is a visual representation of what I have accomplished in the past year and a half.




Even in the after pic I was still at 16% bodyfat. I am nearing single digits right now and comparatively I still look like total sh!t in that photo too. Regardless, this site along with /fit/ (where it all started for me) have completely changed my life.

Word.

I'm a completely different person today than I was 2 years ago. It's become an obsession even though because I came from land of the lard, I stil have at least 1 year of lifting heavy to look like I want

[ectobruh]

i've been trying to wrap my head around this....just the way a human evolves/transforms itself. when i first got on here i started studying the science, programs, what worked and what didn't.....almost 1.5 years later i wake up and look in the mirror. how i've changed....and i'm still going "is this real life?" and i'm not even close to where i want to be

[TheWhitechalk]

i am happy, bodybuilding has taught me a lot about life. I would be nowhere without it

Exactly, not stepping up on stage = not a bodybuilder
