Do any of you have an gym buddy? does it make a big difference? I like working out by myself and I am prity good about going 3-4 times a week (not perfect but mostly consistent) but im thinking of trying to find an accountability buddy. Idealy it would be someone who wants to self improve in more ways then just the gym. Specifically, I want to try an learn guitar, read a bit more, and learn a new language. These are all things I could obviously do myself with proper scheduling, but I feel like having someone else doing it as well to talk with about it and keep you accountable would be good. It could even be one of you fags if anyone is interested.
Thoughts?

Gym buddy done right will push you harder than you would have on your own. Also makes the gym a more sociable experience.
However, I get more attention from gym thots when I'm solo. And I'd say about 50% of the reason I go to the gym is for appearance/self esteem with the remaining reasons being a combination of health, keeping the suicidal thoughts at bay.

I've been thinking the same thing. A small group of 5-10 anons would be ideal. Goals I want to accomplish by Jan 2019:
>get up to $100/day in profits from eBay selling
>move out of parents' house
>improve lifting numbers
>get down to 20% bf (currently at about 24%)
>finish one of my project cars
Anybody want to start an accountability discord?

>have a a good friend turned gym buddy
>refuses to use protein powder because he wants to be “natty”
>won’t eat any protein at all really cause he’s afraid to get muscular and wants “that small European look”
What can I do to convince him to leave humanity behind?
Grayson Cruz

>ebay selling

>Parents house

I'm making good gains,
I've been making a lot of social gains lately but I still feel hollow, I still feel like everything is just a boring joke in this world, but I don't know what an alternative would be.
I want to be in a relationship, but I honestly think I'm too ugley to be in one, I don't blame girls for not thinking I'm attractive. I understand their rational, but it still hurts knowing I'll be alone.
THat being said I can't let my self slip because I was born ugly. I want to be most successful uggo there is, I just wish the no gf pain would go away.
In the interest of self improvement, if you are interested in trading stocks and commodities go to babypips.com
I wish the best for you guys on your journey.

as for the joke part try and find a hobby. Like it sounds so dumb and meaningless, but youll realize you like some things in the world and help you see the good.
>relationship
lower your standerds, man up, and/or quit bitchin

My girlfriend and I exercise together. We both run, hike, and I have a barbell set and rack at home. She always compliments me and says shit like "you're so strong!" even back when I first started out and was lifting baby weight. Either way it helps me a lot and I haven't missed a workout because of it. My only worry is that one day I'm gonna squat or bench something too heavy and she is not at all gonna be able to spot me and save my ass from being guillotined.

Your playing with fire there user. Bringing women folk to what should be a chance to get away is a bad move. Especialy once you do it so much that if you go without her she feels hurt. Then ya fucked

A buddy would be nice. I had one once, he recently had to relocate because of work.
Felt good to have an outside positive influence and to feel like I was being a positive influence.
At times I wish I could meet you fuckers, but at the same time I would really rather not.

I've never struggled with the no gf thing before being in my last serious relationship but since the break up last January, it all I think about wanting. It makes me pretty depressed knowing I'm not in a relationship and that my ex ended up jumping into another and moving in with the dude only after two months of knowing each other

>Tfw no gf who I can go to the gym with
Andrew Turner
This.
And that's a great point about it detracting from your game having another dude with you. I actually wanted a workout partner, but it looks pretty beta.
Cooper Hernandez
Break ups are MUCH easier for women.
Me ex moved back to Toronto a month ago and was single for maybe a week. Haha

Gym buddy lifestyle is where it’s at. Inspirational spotting, shit talking, competitive burnout sets, form checks, shoot the shit while you’re changing the plates
Nicholas Young
Would have interest in a discord but I worry about it getting too big and off topic/no longer about self improvement. It doesn't have to be a secret club but it'd be nice to have some rules in place to keep things focused.
Jason Watson
honestly, unless theyre completely on the same page as you its not worth it.
>gym buddy 1
was a fat basedboy who wanted to make it, never even got to bodyweight bench, eventually quit
>gym buddy 2
naturally strong but absolutely clueless, eventually quit
>gym buddy 3
literal sociopath, how about no
>gym buddy 4
bro science incarnate, only ever did bench and curls, maxed out everyday and rekt his shoulder, decided not to deload and has his shoulder rekt for life now
I prefer to lift on my own, that way I can time my rests, listen to audiobooks while lifting and if I ever need a spot I have no issue asking for it
Justin Bennett
I'm interested in the discord
