There's more but my break is over, feel free to contribute.
Strength training alone won't get you your goal body
lifting wont get you a girlfriend
>someone asks you to help them move
>picking up small boxes fires 90% of your muscle tissue because lol powerlifter
>tired after moving 5 boxes and feel weak as shit
There's a Xpill for ya.
No, Jow Forums has been telling newfags this for years. They just don't listen.
one thing of being fit at least for me is while sleeping when i lay on the side my armes and hand falling asleep too my pectoralis is too much or my nerves arent stretched enough i dont know but its fucking annoying
More dudes mire and compliment your gains than chicks will by a long stretch.
>people assume youre a selfcentered dickface for looking good
Good lord this one hits home. Lifting and getting fit has made me straight up despise most people who are lazy or don't put in the effort.
>"what do you even use them for? *start making cave man noises*
>"Do you own any long sleeve shirts?"
>Me: No, i don't like long sleeves.
>"Oh I'm sure that's it, user!"
I hate normies. This wasn't light hearted banter either, i can tell the difference. Both of those quotes above were from former co-workers, one of whom was a fat 40 year old woman who constantly told me i had to 'live a little'
>40 y/o fat woman doesn’t respect your gains
DYEL bro?
I just tell tard normies that it's a hobby like rock climbing or some other shit and they seem to get it.
I think you're missing the point. I'm not looking for acknowledgement. It's just my lifestyle. Would you like it if people shit on your lifestyle by assuming you're a vain asshole when you just like being fit?
That sometimes works, but normies will be normies. I can't begin to tell you how many people ask me if i juice. I spent 8 fucking years getting where i am.
That last one hits home for me so much!
>work in an office with people mostly in their late 40s/early 50s
>have 45 yo roastie well past her prime coworker who asks for health and fitness advice at least once a month.
>"wow user, your look great what's your secret?"
>me: "no secret, easy clean and work out regularly"
>"what about food user? What do you eat?"
>tell her I stear clear off breads, pasta, starches, and processed sugars and food
>clear and obvious disappointment comes across her face.
>"well that's not fun"
I don't get why it's so difficult for normies to understand this. You have a smart phone, you can get this information instantaneously. You also know you can't eat like shit and be lazy and expect to be in shape. People just want a lazy, quick solution and don't want to accept it takes hard work and sacrifice of you want to be thin/in shape.
This is the truth. I've got more compliments and brofists/pats by dude than woman. Dudes even ask for help sometimes too in comparison to woman who just try and mimic you instead of, you know, fucking asking
Getting fit isn’t some complicated mess. It’s simple. I know faggots on here argue endlessly, but they’re just nipping at the margins. The majority of being in shape is in strength training, getting some cardio, CICO, and getting enough sleep.
All of those things are conceptually so simple an 8 year old could understand them. The problem comes in that they are not fun in and of themselves. They’re all means to an end. Normies may think they want to be fit, but they’re not willing to make the sacrifice.
Thats always what scares them away. A few years back i used to belong to a gym that a lot of highschool kids would show up at over the summer. I got approached countless times by these literal boys asking me how to "get big".
The moment i brought up diet, they were scared off. Visible change in the eyes and everything. And its the same when i talk to people my age today, the diet is ALWAYS what scares them off.
Hell, my brother is one of those guys who cringes as he eats a salad, then claims he deserves a burger and fries for 'making it through' the salad. Then later complains he doesn't look as good as me.

I’m in decent shape for an old fag. I lift six days a week, run a mile a day, get 8 hours of sleep a night, never drink soda, yada yada yada.
Diet is my fucking achilles heel. When your married with kids, 40+ hour a week job, and stretched to the limit it’s the one thing I never am disciplined enough to hold strong on. It’s not impossible, but it’s the one thing I’ve not been able to master.
>Acting like they don’t already do that
They’re just jealous dude, just think about what would happen if they tried to bench your max and laugh to yourself.
Oh, also forgot to mention
>older men respect you more
My former boss and pretty much anyone higher than me always treats me well. He was a legit boomer and liked me more than his own son.
Gym staff that is older is also more respectful. I guess its a callback to being a real man because boomers will love you if you lift.
All of that is wrong.
To get fit you need to become more active, get sunshine and fresh air, go to bed at a reasonable hour, and eat healthy whole foods while skipping snacks and not forcing yourself to eat when you are not hungry or feeling knackered and need something to eat.
bruh same. Arms are always falling asleep and my legs fall asleep while sitting on the toilet now
Oh i know jealousy is the root of it. Just try hearing it every damn day. I dont sit there and brood about it, just gets annoying.
The one about the arm falling sleep ALWAYS happens to me.
Fucking awful bro.
Whenever I tell skinny normies to eat 5 meals a day, they all act like I’ve just raped their sister. Wtf is wrong with normies.
I fixed it by transitioning to sleeping on my back the past few months. I was paranoid that my arm frequently falling asleep would ruin my nervous function and lead to atrophy, so I sleep on my back now. It sucks at first, but you get used to it and sleep a lot better.
holy dubs of truth brother everything you said was spot on. Gains be with you
100% quality post.
>cougars will literally sexually harass you
Christ this is true. The only wheyfu tier woman in my gym that talks to me without holding back is 42.
I won't stop you from being a whinny bitch apparently.
>All of that is wrong.
>literally rewords what I said and adds “get sunlight and fresh air”
That you can't see the difference in what we post, and how that impacts upon how people think and approach their own health proves how dumb you are.
This shit happened in my gym 3 days ago
>New guy and his friend come to the gym
>New guy applying for military school in 2 months so he need to be able to do 10 pull up for max score
>help him out, show him how to do curls etc
>his friend ask me: " Hey user i need to lose this belly fat what to do ? "
>Me : there is a treadmill in the next room, go run on it and in 2 months it will be gone
>"2 MONTHS ??? What the fuck man !"
>Me: will what did you expect ?, you gonna come to the gym for 2 weeks and you gonna look like Arnold ?
i couldn't help to mock him but really what did he expect ?
The arm thing, I thought it was just me. Based dubs.
>get sunshine and fresh air
Hi mom! Didn't know you browse fit as well.
Might also be because they know what a sedentary lifestyle leads to and how important health really is
Started doing power yoga on my off days and this went away, regained a lot of flexibility and filled in some muscle close to the joints. Would recommend. Eye candy is nice too.
>implying meal timing matters
>get so swole you can't even sleep without chaffing, seriously I'm in pain
you just sound fat
Why does this arm sleeping shit happen? I'm scared that I damaged a nerve or something.
I've proven this to wrong motherfucker
pop their heads like fucken cherries, that sounds fun. cue conan the barbarian
>what did he expect ?
Actual advice? How about you tell him to cut carbs or do high reps along with the cardio?
The fact that you sound retarded in your own version of events tells me how much of an autist you muts've been irl.
This, all of these bloats need to do some fucking cardio.
yeah, girls are timid duuhh
How are you gonna get enough calories in if you don’t eat regular mealz? Theoretically you could just have one big feast but how many skinny normies have the stomach for that?
>people always ask you to help them move
My unironic aim is to be able to move my washing mashine myself. Lift it up, transport it down some stairs and into the car. Thats true self-reliance in teh 21st century my dudes
>The muscles merely mask the insecurities instead of making them go away
normie spotted sound the alarm
This should be the opposite, hence why people who lift heavier can lift lighter weights for more reps, than someone who can't lift as heavy.
DELET
The arm falling asleep thing is scary. Anyone want to put my mind at ease?
nice blowing your back out too
Circulatory system won't get stronger lifting so if you weight 250lb it doesn't matter if you're a fatas or jacked your circulation could still be bad if you don't do cardio.
>began lifting in February
>girlfriend in May
EZ
>suggestion cardio to lose weight
unless his friend is a girl, you are fucking retarded
>his lats and thighs arent so big that they hinder any and all motion
>You will never fit properly into cloths sold at any store, unless SHMEDIUM
>Girls will get angry if you don't give them attention.
>People will assume you are cool, even if you are not
>>your arm falls asleep if you pin it while sleeping on your side
Underrated
How do I into operator if Im a ferocious cunt with that type of thinking?
Muscle tissue is much denser than fat, and so doesn't compress effectively to reduce the pressure of your weight on the hard surface. The pressure therefore translates straight through to deeper tissues, which leads to the disruption of vasculature and the nerve supply to whatever limb is being rested on.
Nah bitch nigga
Women notice but they're never direct about it. They'll give you glances and looks and secretly mire. Guys are just direct because they won't fuck you.
>people assume youre a selfcentered dickface for looking good
You now realize that people who think you're a musclebound dick are legitimately intimidated by the implications, and will generally be your bitch.
women are never direct because they're women
I'm thinking its because of so much added body mass (weight) sitting on another sizeable mass that is less mobile because of enlargement. If you're skelly mode, you can move your arm with a greater ROM while you sleep but if you're swole, you have your torso sitting on top of your arm that doesn't have much place to go either. Just do what I did and sleep on your back.
>My unironic aim is to be able to move my washing mashine myself.
Gotta be a heavy ass washing machine, cause being able to take 60kg down the stairs isn't much of an achievement.
>can't wipe ass because of lats
>upper thigh chafing (especially in hot weather)
>realisation clothes are made for stick thin men
washing machines aren't all that heavy, it's mostly about how you carry it, they have special lifting harnesses that appliance installers use that make it a lot easier and won't blow out your back, I've seen dyels carrying fridges with them no problem.
Do you have the potential to be like this guy (the old chap in the picture)?
uscs.org
Wiping your ass gets a bit difficult when you get big arms
That you chose to decide that person instead of clearly and reasonably explain yourself further shows how incredibly arrogant and self aggrandizing your train of thought is.
>that food one
its painful being a Jow Forums autist
>chaffing while sleeping
N-Nani? I am pretty big, like 6'2 235-240 pounds (like 15-17% bodyfat I'm guessing?) and I have never had this. How big we talking?
Unfortunately, this. At both uni and gym, I see more guys mirin than girls.
I mean isn't there some things that support protein like every 3 hours or so after resistance training helps stimulate protein synthesis better?
>the more squats you do, the harder it is to wipe your ass sufficiently
being successful isn't autism, no matter what the NEETs try to tell you
the girls are mirin even more, they're just subtle about it, body language and repeated glances being the top cues
>body language
barely near me ever unless it's very shortly for a gym exercise.
>repeated glances
Can't be repeated if I never see 1.
wrong
physiology.org
right
that being said, its fine for the sticky to say otherwise, because its easier for beginners that way, and isnt a huge deal
yep. fatbois.
yep - recently bulked i'm not even that big but 6"2' 200lbs. getting mad looks - though i never had a super hard time gettting girls (not saying they were all after me but i was never desperate for chicks)
T-shirts cut off the circulation to my biceps.
People get handsy and just come up and grab you to feel your muscles--not acceptable.
Everyone assumes you take steroids even though you don't.
I eat a lot of food just to stay the same weight.
Like seriously how big how we talking in this thread? Like maybe wear a bigger sized shirt if shit is too tight?
6 foot 225 pounds. Its my armpits, my arms and lats are just rubbing together non stop cuz i sleep without a shirt. my wife said i move around a lot
I sleep in only underwear so shirtless as well and have no problems. I mean if it makes a difference, I sleep alone, so I can spread out in bed as much as I want.
Forget about wearing suits.
fucking Jow Forums
Get big. Die large. Leave a big coffin
Lmao that old hag is jealous that she couldn’t get any one attractive when she was in her prime so now she’s old and bitter
i think the my real problem is how much i sweat at night. i have a cold air vent and a fan blowing on me but still sweat and it causes a ton of friction
The insecurity in my case is directly related to not being strong enough to do certain movements and not having enough control of my body. In this case, muscles mask my insecurities by solving them.
>physiology.org
not even a meta-analysis. Do you even /study/ fit?
Fuck man, I can't even sleep if it's too hot and I'm sweating. I'm finally experiencing constant cold AC at uni apartments after being stuck in parents hot ass house for my whole life. No chaffing still, but sweating just sucks.
nah same bro, cant sleep if its hot. i usually wake up everynight multiple times
you can get one custom made, you know
that's how they were originally done
Cardio + eating clean & with a deficit IS how you lose belly fat you retard.
Yeah this
You're just not as strong as you think you are. I moved a lazy boy ezpz, the other guy was shaking and ended up falling and dropping it.
When people ask shit like this, they don't mean it. They're just complimenting you.
This is true, old gilf coworker regularly called me "muscles". (Had to wear a company shirt, usually I hide myself with bulky clothes). Also another reason for bulky clothes is that regular shirts are too tight around my chest in medium but large is a dress (I'm short)
Almost all clothes are made for the painfully average.
>all of that is wrong
>says the same thing
You just a natural contrarian user?
