see yah I gotta go lift.
Idk wtf this has to do with fitness but itd be not building up my own home gym
This is pretty depressing but I honestly don't have many real regrets in my life. Yet at the same time I feel hopeless, alone and depressed. I can't think of anything significant I could have done differently in my life and at the same time I am absolutely miserable and fed up with the world and feel like I'd be better off dead.
How many friends do you have that you see regularly?
stopping lifting few years ago and getting fat as a result
cutting since a year and probably will need few months more to get to some acceptable bf
basically wasted few years that way
not asking out a girl I liked
friends?
Lifting regret: Not studying a program like SL before starting and planning lifts / nutrition methodically. Would’ve saved me a lot of wasted time
Life regret: Not going to a psychologist and doing EMDR therapy at a younger age
Never sticking to a routine and therefore never making gains, wasting the prime years of my life as a pathetic lanklet.
x2
I guess it depends on how you define friends.
I have a group of guys I play fantasy football with (10-12), a guy I go drinking with, a guy I meet up with most days in college, then I have like 6-7 guys that I see once every month or so when time permits as we live in different cities. I would say I have 5-6 close friends and probably 30 or 40 acquaintances.
The biggest thing is that I had to make a decision to basically cut off my family because they were so toxic. Nobody really understands why or how painful and horrible my life has been because of the treatment I got from my parents. I spend most holidays alone and honestly there isn't much I could have done differently.
As I age I'm realising just how much darker my worldview is to most people my age and how most people have never felt as depressed as I feel almost everyday. I've had so much rejection , isolation and pain in my life that I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
>lifting
Doing meme powerlifting programs instead of programming to meet my specific goals

Being insufferable arrogrant and toxic in university which led to people cutting contact with me as soon as we graduated. It still hurts.
1.) Not starting sooner
2.) Many cases of putting the concerns of others ahead of myself, ultimately sabotaging what I was putting tremendous effort into accomplishing because I thought I was supposed to do things "the right way" rather than "a way that actually fucking works."
>Unironically using the word "toxic"
Good news! You're still an insufferable twat.

redpill me, i'm 2 years into one right now
why?
It's alright if you're good with numbers and/or have any interest in this kind of thing, you'll also have an easier time finding jobs if you take the time build a portfolio with things like GitHub projects and a good HackerRank account. I'm just not cut out for it.
I only started lifting and eating right last summer, I'm nearly 40, my biggest regret is not doing it as a child.
My biggest win is I've got my son lifting and he loves it and is progressing despite being very young.
I feel you man.
I was never consistent. I started lifting when i was like 12 and was stronger than all my peers during that time in my life. Then i kept stopping and staring. What a waste.
What do you do now user
Fitness regret :gaining weight after my dad died
Overall regret : not enjoying my teens as I should've
I'm in my second year of CS. I'm studying and trying to get my body ready to see if I can go into firefighting
yeah i think i know what you feel, desu i'm not really that much into it since being an /o/tist is my main interest but you've gotta make money somehow, atleast it's going rather smoothly, will see how it goes i guess
1) Not actually lifting. I went to a gym last month and they saw me with a bent back (because my hamstrings are too tight for proper full ROM deadlifts/squats) and told me to basically do calisthenics "then maybe try the free weights after two months". I'm a failure.
2) Not exercising when I was a child. I didn't pick up a sport until I started running in my late teens. As a result my ECG shows the form of a very good heart, but my resting heart rate is 80-90. Also not realizing how unattractive I was in high school. If I knew then what I know now I could've slayed pussy left and right.
Fucking up my left biceps tendon for life at 17o for doing meme weights, 50 pound curls as a begginer, what was I thinking!
I never broke the tendon but I have to be so careful training now(22yo)because if not it hurts like hell.
got /fat/
Can't you heal that? It's just tissue after all.
Not lifting more
Breaking up with oneitis
playing too much vidya
Droping lifting for studies 5years of sacrified progress for a shitty job
Being born
i rode my bicycle home shitfaced drunk. fell on pavement road with shoulder.
acromioclavicular ligament tear
it never recovered completely and my shoulder feels stiff and burns sometimes. all this shit just because i had to be stupid enough to bicycle home after binge drinking.
Not starting earlier.
Not making a move.
>lift
not suppressing my ego when i first started - focusing on weight rather than good form
>life
it's a tie between being a dick to my little brother during childhood and letting an incredible girl/relationship slip through my fingers
smoking and thinking I could quit any time
Not starting earlier.
Losing my wife.
>What is your biggest lifting regret?
not starting during my teenage years
>What is your biggest life regret?
not shagging that one slut who threw herself at me in highschool. I immediately go from beta to chad in terms of behavior the moment I had any success in that field. I threw away the only chance I had so far though so I'm stuck with beta behavior
I mean, you obviously know the reasons why you are like that then. Some shit is just out of your hands, you're pretty defenseless as a child and if your family decides to mentally and emotionally cripple you for life, that's kind of the hand you have to deal with.
If that is your biggest life regret you're doing pretty well. Either that or you're very young
>Not lifting more and earlier
>Going straight in to work instead of higher education
>What is your biggest lifting regret?
Having a brand new gym free to use during college that I never went to
>What is your biggest life regret?
Not buying bitcoin with a coworker years ago, thinking "$300 is too expensive for something I can't even use"
It has gotten better over the years,but I dont think it will fully heal ever.
damage like that doesn't just heal man, broken tendons literally destroy whole carrers, if he was close to that then he might never fully recover
There is not a single moment i don't regret being born,but yet i hope some miracle happens
Zeroooooooooooooooo
Not finishing my fit goals back when I was 18, I did start going to the gym and acheive 400 croushes/abs on a single day
Taking women seriously, falling for the "women are heavenly beings and you, as a man, must obey them and cope with their manioulations" bullshit, actually I regret been blue pilled until 5 years ago

>What is your biggest lifting regret?
Got really fat as a teen, wasted best years of life, wish I had found Yas Forums sooner.
>What is your biggest life regret?
Was going to apply to a military academy in this shithole, which is pretty much the top of the social hierarchy here, benefits and pay also pretty great, stopped before I put my papers in, nothing makes me rage more than thinking about this shit, more so how the cunts around me didn't push me to do it.
Growing up without a dad sucks bros.
not lifting seriously earlier in life. (Started at 34)
not having enough confidence to take control of my life in my late teens and early 20s. There’s a lot to this but it all can boil down to this one point.
Not going to Mellow Mushroom with all my friends Junior year of college when our bro was bartending. He would load everyone up. I wasn’t whipped with my gf at the time but was honey mooning stage hard so rather fuck her then go. Now I regret not being with the boys
well, it's what I consider to be a pivotal point for a lot of sad shit that happened afterwards, so it probably sounds more harmless than it feels.
but otherwise I have most of my life together so it's not actually been that super bad, yeah.
>What is your biggest lifting regret?
Not deadlifting.
>What is your biggest life regret?
Trusting women.
Bros before hos man, always, unless the ho is your mama then you make an exception.
I have no lifting regrets as of yet
Not many life regrets either, I am grateful more than anything, I mean my kindergarten teachers tried to convince my parents to send me off to full time "special" school, I mean imagine if that had happend. Shits scary.
>What is your biggest lifting regret?
Have to stop lifting last year of June because the retarded emergency room staff including the doctors thinks that lifting is causing my frequent panic attacks and insists that I should stop lifting since "I was too young" to lift at 18, they said this in front of a family member that I currently live with which makes it harder for me to sneakily go to the gym
>What is your biggest life regret?
A childhood without my parents although there is little I can do about it, both of them worked abroad and was legally seperated when I was a young lad, left me to my paternal aunt who was an abusive cunt.
Some nights the fact that I didn't grew up with my parents makes me wish I wasn't born at all, and seeing how most of my peers spent their childhood with their parents makes me want to go an hero. Didn't experienced motherly love, never had a father figure
>Didn't experienced motherly love, never had a father figure
Shit fucks you up user, father died just as I hit puberty, mom left me to my own devices, would've been a completely different person had he not kicked the bucket.
It's best to let bygones be bygones, nothing you can do about it, don't dwell on it and work towards being the man you wish you were.

keep going user
Not taking me diet seriously for the first three years, thankfully these past two years I've taken it serious, and seen great results.
Not being more friendly during high school, turns out there was a ton of people that wanted to talk to me.
Edit: my* diet
I just read the rest of your post like a pirate, like Barbossa from pirate of the Caribbean
