Ich bin 1,80m groß und wiege aktuell ca. 70kg (gestartet bei ungefähr 72kg). Ich trainiere jetzt seit etwa 10 Monaten konsequent — 4x pro Woche intensives Krafttraining für ca. 45 Minuten + täglich Cardio (3,2km in ~20 Minuten). Außerdem schlafe ich meistens ca. 8 Stunden und versuche, einen festen Rhythmus einzuhalten.

Ich versuche aktuell Body Recomposition zu machen, also ungefähr auf Erhaltungskalorien zu essen und mich relativ clean zu ernähren (nur 1 Cheat Meal pro Woche). Aber ehrlich gesagt sehe ich kaum Fortschritte beim Bauchfett, vor allem im unteren Bauchbereich, und das killt langsam meine Motivation.

Typische Mahlzeiten:

• Bio-Milch (500ml): 310 kcal, 16g Protein, 21g Kohlenhydrate, 18g Fett
• Hähnchen-Salat: 530 kcal, 40g Protein, 30g Kohlenhydrate, 25g Fett
• Tofu-Salat: 650 kcal, 35g Protein, 35g Kohlenhydrate, 32g Fett
• Omelett aus 6 Eiern / Curd Rice: ~600 kcal, 36g Protein, 30g Kohlenhydrate, 35g Fett

Ich rauche und trinke nicht, schlafe ordentlich und ziehe mein Training konsequent durch. Trotzdem sehe ich optisch noch ziemlich skinny-fat im Bauchbereich aus. Könnte es sein, dass fehlende Supplements wie Kreatin oder Proteinpulver meinen Fortschritt verlangsamen?

Was würdet ihr an meiner Stelle machen?

• aggressiver cutten?
• länger recomp machen?
• erstmal bulken und mehr Muskeln aufbauen?
• Makros/Cardio ändern?

Würde ehrliche Meinungen von Leuten schätzen, die ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht haben.

Me and my two friends borrowed our professor’s research lab keys at night saying we had to finish our project.

we switched off the lights, put Lord of the Rings on the projector at low volume, and started watching in the dark like it was a private theatre. After some time we heard loud shouting outside, we paused the movie and stayed completely silent.

one PhD guy was fighting with his girlfriend because he thought she was involved with their professor. both of them were PhD students under the same prof. Then prof came there and started explaining to the guy that he was misunderstanding things, girl got angry and left.

we were inside the lab hearing this entire thing silently, then my friend accidentally hit the door.

outside everything went quiet, then the prof said:
“Who’s inside?” 
we had to walk out and that poor phd guy immediately said:
“Whatever you heard, it’s not like that.”

for some reason that line got me and I started laughing instantly, i literally ran away from there 😭

My second friend also started laughing after watching me and ran behind me. 
meanwhile our third friend stayed there alone and told them:
“Sir unko pressure aa raha tha.”

after that whenever that PhD guy saw us in the department he used to give us the deadliest stare ever. and every single time we had to control our laughter again 😭

TLDR: borrowed professor’s lab keys at night to watch Lord of the Rings on projector, accidentally overheard a PhD student accusing his girlfriend of sleeping with their professor, got caught listening from inside the dark lab, friend said “sir unko pressure aa raha tha,” and then we got death stares for the rest of college 😭

i left my full time job to start a company because i deeply cared about the problem i am solving.

it’s been around a year now. before building, i tried to validate the problem with few enterprises and they were actually eager to buy the solution if i built it. I did unpaid pilot with 3 enterprises. i put my own money and free credits to train the model and make the whole thing work.

now the strange thing is, the product is working but it doesn’t seem like a problem for them anymore. people are not replying, or they are saying it’s not priority right now. I have almost no runway left. my family is pressuring me to take a job, and i understand them also. but i still want to do startup and build something.

i am not writing this for sympathy. i know i made mistakes, maybe unpaid pilots were a mistake, maybe i took verbal interest too seriously. For people who have gone through this, how do you know when to keep going and when to accept that it’s not working?

how do you cope mentally when something you spent one year on might fail? should i take a job and continue on side, or should i still try to push for some more time?

about a year ago i met a girl through a mutual friend and somehow we ended up getting really close.

she knows I’m in a relationship, but she still randomly says she loves me a lot, calls me cute sometimes, flirts with me, and tells me all her personal stuff. But then she also calls me her bestie, so i honestly don’t know what she means by any of it.

the real issue is I have started getting emotionally attached to her, and i feel guilty because i know that’s not fair to my girlfriend. nothing physical has happened, but i still feel like i let it go too far emotionally. i should’ve had better boundaries way earlier.

I don’t want to hurt my girlfriend, and i also don’t want this thing with her to keep growing. i think i need to distance myself a bit and reset boundaries, but i don’t know how to do that without making it awkward. how do I talk to my friend about needing space without making it seem like I’m blaming her? And what is the best way to be honest with my girlfriend about this without making things worse than they already are?

TL;DR: I’m in a relationship but got emotionally attached to a close female friend. Nothing physical happened, but I want to set boundaries and be honest without hurting people more.

been listening to in my heart by lim yeon from the kdrama flower of evil lately. it feels underrated.

i haven’t even watched the drama yet, but the song has that kind of emotional pull where it makes you curious about the whole story behind it. the vocals feel soft but heavy at the same time, and the melody has this quiet sadness that sticks around after it ends.

for people who’ve watched flower of evil, does the song hit harder in context? or is it just one of those osts that works even without knowing the drama?

I’ve been trying to have more random conversations instead of just silently consuming content.

Lately I’ve been bouncing between anime, games, music, movies, and random tech rabbit holes. Curious what everyone else is currently into, could be a show, a game, a song, a niche hobby, anything.

what’s your current fixation? would love to know more
