The weight loss hasn't been as steadily going down the last couple of months, but I did hit my lowest adult weight in that time. I've been working on upper body for the first time, and it's paying off.
Dated a 19 year old for a week before she broke up with me. All my friends seriously disapproved of the age gap.

I'm 30 and I'm in the best shape of my life and feel better than ever. If only I hadn't injured myself when I was 25! I'd be an absolute machine. Though that injury also led me to pay more attention to my body's needs, so there's a touch of irony there.
Legitimately, it felt like everything started clicking into place on my 30th birthday

Fitness wise, fine. Lifewise eh. I've turned to doordashing. My job wasn't giving me much work. I've been busy so I haven't been working out much but I found hitting each lift once a week is plenty. I've even lost some weight but still hit pretty much the same lifts.

Overall, not terrific, not terrible. I feel like my thirties so far have been mostly about slowing down and taking better care of myself. I'm also trying to establish a trajectory into a healthy and happy life in my forties and fifties.
Thanks for reading my blog.

Started having some hip and SI joint pains, so I've been doing these gay ass pelvis stability exercises, targeting mostly glute min/med and deep core. Wouldn't you know it, squatting and deadlifting heavy is not enough to keep those fuckers strong, turns out mine are weak as shit, but I'm working on them.Also: I find women below 30 insufferably stupid to the point it can't be compensated for with great tits anymore.

just turned 30, started taking testosterone, work 2 jobs, parents are retired, my bro 40 and I moved back into with our parents. parents weren't very rich growing up so didn't save a whole lot of money. 300k for each of my siblings to split when shit hits the fan. helping them pay the mortgage, brother is on disability for 3 years from knee surgery, barely got it this year, so couldn't help out or work. all the responsibility kind of goes to me. I spent my life trying to change my habits but always fall back in. I stress eat, so im back to 55lbs overweight. I'm still hitting the gym, but i feel like im emotionally drained, so when i get home i just want to sleep or play video games. Dad and mom are happy were home, but at the same time, wan't to go rent an apt. I feel like i should have had kids and a wife now, but already accepted that won't have that with the way the world is. Also i'm a big autist with panic attacks. Any little bad thought does it.

34. I know that my life is gonna end in suicide anyway so what's the point? I haven't achieved or experienced anything in my life to this point because of being a socially avoidant loser. In the modern society, people are already despondent and hopeless about the current and future. And this is for people who are actually living normal lives with a wife or at least should have good dating prospects, a good career, housing, finances, health, etc., and they've also had a lifetime of positive experiences to look back fondly on.What chance in hell does a person like me have? I don't even have any goals I want to achieve. A normal person isn't supposed to allow themselves to get to the age of 34 living like this and never caring to make a change. A person in their 30s wasn't supposed to waste their teens, 20s, and early 30s. People at my age are supposed to be a decade into a career making good money, have a lifetime of relationships that they learned from, know what they want from life, having stable familial relationship, hobbies, fitness, etc. I've basically been a ghost for my entire life.

Butcherbro reporting in two year hiatus.
The fuck is up with this website, it's dead as fuck.
Anyways, divorce happened. 2 years gone. Dating a girl in twenties now, way less drama.36, feeling 25 now.
Finds out toxic relationships prematurely age you and being in a good relationship makes you want to try harder.
Just got a good groin stretch a few months ago using a kettlebell counter weight that stretched a part of my abductor that has been fucked for a decade. Huge improvement since.
Mostly given up on weightlifting, I still do everything just to maintain and for rehab/mobility purposes, but gave up gym entirely. It was actually a huge detriment to my health grinding away my tendons day after day never showing improvement.Since switching to mobility i've gotten a little weaker strength wise, but everything just functions so much better.
Anyways, idk how much i'll be posting again at least posting names again.

36. Was already involved in neuroscience, started specializing in endocrinology about a year and a half ago.Crazy shit, made me feel like I didn't know shit about biology to begin with. Very different stuff, materials, methods, concepts.Ever since I've been applying it to basically get everything "working as intended" it's like I'm having a second puberty. The human body and brain are capable of so much fucking more than we're used to in this society. Shit is unreal once you get the ball rolling. Physical and mental performance have skyrocketed, and are skyrocketing even more, and it allows me to learn even more, and apply even more, and then shit gets even better. I'm already like, performing at 10-15x the quality, quantity and intensity of what I would always have thought the peak of my abilities, and what I'm doing now is just the beginning. It's nuts.

I am 31 now. I was a virgin loser at 27 without ANY friends or career prospects. I have faced doom.
I would go months without changing my underwear. I was such lazy piece of shit.
At 27 I lost my shit and decided to change. I moved to the city, forced myself to go on dates, did 300cold approaches. I got 25lays and my first relationship out of it. I went through repeated embarrassment and awkwardness. I had porn induced ED in ALL my lays. Girl after girl would leave with visible disgust at my performance.
Now I'm 31, the relationship ended, but damn it was sweet to finally have someone give a shit about me. In my 30th birthday my GF bought a special cake, gave me a wonderful speech and gave me jewelry. I cried.
Now I'm 31, it didn't work out with her.
But that's okey. I'm as ambitious as ever. Think I will just stay in my lane and "accept" my lot? Think I will just settle? I refuse. I abseloutely refuse. I will do anything to get what I want. Did you think I will just sit on the sidelane and watch other men get what I want? How amusing. I abseloutely refuse to lose. Currently 4 months without masturbating to porn while sober. My drive is awakening. My hunger is growing. I will reach my goals, no matter what it takes.
The only power in this world that can stop me is almighty God. What people say have no effect on me. Zero. I spit on your negativity. My pride is growing into something unstoppable.
I will make the dreams of my 15yr old self true. I will get everything he wanted. If he saw me, he would marvel at who he became. I dare anyone to try and stop me.

Their youth is gone and their best years are behind them. Their women are withering away, many of whom never even blossomed into motherhood. They have no assets or stake in the economy. They have no social standing and mostly stand alone.

31, 170lb 5'10.5"
Best lifts are 1 pl8 OHP for 5, Bench 200x8, Squat 255x6, Deadlift 340x1, I had a hernia as a teenager that I worry about.
Heaviest I've ever been is 195, I've stayed between 180-170 for 3 years now just kinda maintaining what I have.
I mostly focus on upper body and core and do lots of calisthenics, only do squats and lunges and calf raises for lower body
Noticing that endurance exercise like hiking or cycling sometimes results in inflammation of my right knee, hip and sometimes of my back of neck/shoulder. Should use my foam roller and do more mobility exercises, but just can't be bothered since 99% of the time I'm fine.

I've been taking women on dates lately trying to see if they want to fuck me. I don't get physical / intimate at all, I just act in a manner which might arouse them. Once they ask if we're going to my place to watch a movie or if I wanna come over during the weekend I just bail.

In the later years of my 30s and every aspect of my life is going good, if not better than I'd ever hoped for, all of which didn't actually fall into place until after I had turned 30. I wouldn't really want to change anything, which is a rare thing to be able to say i guess.My one gripe about getting old is I feel like the level of effort required to maintain a body fat % at or below 15% gets more difficult with each year at an exponential rate. I am very concious of my diet and I do a lot of cardio (long distance runner) and it's just getting harder and harder to maintain visible abs with age. I'm starting to wonder if my cortisol levels are sabotaging some of that effort.If I was doing this level of training and diet discipline in my 20s fuck me I'd have looked like a statue but oh well, time moves in one direction so why sook about it.

I'm probably the biggest loser on this entire board. I'm turning 35 in over a month and have accomplished absolutely zero. My life is basically indistinguishable from a teenager's. I'm despondent about my situation and life and it's driven me to the point of suicide. I have absolutely no motivation to change because I feel nothing but utter hopelessness since my self-esteem is non-existent, and also feel nothing but regret, humiliation, and shame for ending up like this. I don't have any friends to improve for, no relationship to improve for, there's no career I strive for, no real goals to strive for, and basically the only family I have regular contact with are my parents and I barely speak much to them, and they have really showed very little care about how pathetic my life has been since I was around 16 up until even now.There is absolutely nothing to wake up for

Just turned 37. It doesn't sound real to say it. I don't feel almost 40 but I guess that's just how it is for everyone. It creeps up on you.Currently going through a post-breakup inspired 'glow up'. Back doing regular cardio. No booze, no nicotine. More consistency with my lifting. Much cleaner diet.
Thinking of retraining/reeducating and embarking on another career path, I think I still have time for it. Just need to figure out what I want to do I think this is probably my last good chance.
Back on the dating market? I have no idea what or how to meet women but it's not a priority right now.
