>not being in good shape
>expecting girls to want you for anything other than betabux or being settled for
This doesn't just mean not being a fucking fatass, it also means having noticeable muscle and/or abs. Do some pushups and bodyweight squats and eat more protein, faggots. Then move on to more advanced shit, while REALLY exerting yourselves. Y'all niggas never got motivated by Goku, Vegeta, or Rock Lee? Bitchbois who are out of shape but lament being lonely make me sick. Most girls put in a lot of effort into their appearance, why can't you?
Not being in good shape
>tfw been lifting for 1 3/4 months now
Month two will be on Nov 1. I have made some gains, but nothing crazy. Always take progress pics, cause otherwise I wouldn't even see that much progress, when there actually is a good amount.
>yfw I do hundreds of bodyweight squats and pushups while also eating a good amount of protein
Doesn't do much, my dudes. Gotta either go fucking hardcore on calisthenics or just lift since it's more efficient. Currently in the process of overcoming my anxiety so I can go flop around the gym.
>or just lift since it's more efficient
Why not do this from the start?
Because
>Currently in the process of overcoming my anxiety so I can go flop around the gym.
You post on Jow Forums, you should know how painful it is to be in public.
>must girls put in a lot of effort into their appearance
that's because society demands it, I on the other hand, am not expected to look good, if I feel like being a fat, greasy neckbeard, no one cares
>wasting time trying to attract vapid, useless pussy, instead of actually enjoying yourself.
I don't have bad social anxiety, so I'm sorry to hear that. Believe me, nobody at the gym is gonna care about you unless you do something dangerously wrong.
In fact, most people at the gym are cool. I stay to myself completely, and I've had 3 people say anything to me, with one offering me advice on a lift, and two asking to work in on the squat rack on two separate occasions.
>tfw I enjoy myself at the gym
I'm in uni with no friends, so going to the gym is really the highlight of my day.
Also, I don't really give a shit about food, so changing my diet to be more healthy and protein-heavy was easy.
Question here:
If I have good pecs, kinda decent abs, good legs, but skinny, albeit muscular arms, is that alright?
Also, how much should I be able to lift?
>3 people approach me
Well fuck you, Chad. If anyone ever approached me at the gym, Id sperg our and run away
Neat. I can get into my uni's gym for free so I'll look into it. The general idea seems to be that no one in the gym will ever notice you so hopefully I'll be okay and not want to die while in there.
Not the user you were talking to
>Not the user you were talking to
What? This is a free country. I can say whatever I want to whomever I want
That's my point: I literally never have anyone talk to me outside of the gym. I don't have a single friend, but at the gym, you're all there to work out and there's no outside world while you're there. Nobody is judged, because everyone is there to better themselves.
The only people who I would imagine go there and laugh at people are immature high schoolers, but I go to uni gym, so I wouldn't know.
Definitely take advantage of the free uni gym. It's only an hour a day, and if you get into it, it's great.
Yeah, but my point is is that people have approached you at the gym. Im a hairy, sweaty fatass and no one has ever once approached me
Therefore you must be attractive
W-why thank you, user.
But really, I have never once been approached outside by anyone. I honestly think my face has nothing to do with it. Also, I have shaggy hair which is usually off-putting, so I don't have a clean look either.
If youre approachable at the gym, you can be approachable anywhere. Youre just willfully neglecting the times you have been approached irl
Why do you come here to rub your physical superiority in our faces? Does it make you feel better?
I get laid more being slightly out of shape. I used to be ripped in my early 20s and was a virgin. Now Im 28 and can pick up girls pretty easy.
good for you have a nice whatever, i mean it.
I was super /fit but let myself go the past 2 years. Gonna get back to training 5 days a week and dieting. Thanks for the reminder OP. I agree that most dudes here would greatly benefit from it. My mental health was incredible, and all areas of my life improved
>Youre just willfully neglecting the times you have been approached irl
This made me laugh. Not once have I been approached irl. All the social contact I have is during group projects, and now at the gym a tiny bit.
Height and facial aesthetics have been working fine for me. Lifting seems like a waste of time only insecure men or gay men care about.
>Rock Lee
I watched Gaara vs Rock Lee for the first time in 12(?) years recently and that got me hype as fuck. I've been working out every day since, 50% more than I was. Only bodyweight exercises with some kettle bell curls so far but I'm making progress, it used to be that, if I exercised, my arm would pop out or I would just get sore and quit. Now I'm really getting the hang of it and not hurting myself.
Why did you let your self go if you put in enough to effort to become super Jow Forums?
You will enjoy looking fit and getting attention. I know I do
For being considered strong by lifter standards, you should be able to do 1.25x your weight in bench, 1.5x your weight in squats, and 2x your weight in deadlift. These are usually attainable by most people with work and effort, though it's slightly easier if you're small. If you want to be considered strong by pro standards, 100kg ohp as a base.
>Most girls put in a lot of effort into their appearance,
only in easy, deceptive ways (make up, push up bras, hip clothes). when it comes to exercise women are even lazier than men.
I get approached quite a lot, though not in the gym. I actually find it quite safe there, since the only times I've spoken to someone there have been when I initiated it. Don't worry user, you don't have to worry.
Awesome, the more people that are stronger in the world, the better
Became addicted to dope. Sad!
That deformed female doesn't have any breasts.
I do body weight exersice just to have some basic strength and jog twice a week to keep somewhat fit. Cbf hitting the gym and i dont have tfw no gf.
I'm otter mode. No one cares. No one notices. I wear a dress shirt to work so no one sees my abs, even when its the tightest shirt I can find.
One time a really old bitch said I have broad shoulders, which has nothing to do with working out. That's it. Ten years of lifting and that's it.
You probably aren't eating enough.
>Girls put a lot of effort into being vapid cunts on camera
Bad example. I lift and maintain a healthy diet but it's so I can become a stronger and healthy man not some narcissistic faggot.
>go to gym for 5 months straight
>still look dyel, and chubby [like 20% body fat]
fucking spent $800 on supplements too
REEEEEEEEEE my shit muscle genetics
doesn't help that i'm also manlet and balding
OP's pic is a pretty good example though, she's not one of those epic "anavar wheyfus" that faggot keeps spamming but she clearly respects the upkeep her body requires and puts the work in.
If you're mad that she's taking pictures and posing then you're silly. People don't need to be narcissists to want a healthy amount of positive attention for their efforts. Even pure creatives who have nothing to offer but their work like it when their stuff is released to the public and gets good vibes sent back. Social creatures and that shit.
Nah you probably just eat like shit/aren't exercising right
tfw 85kg OHP and still look like shit
If you can't be a slayer with ottermode then something else is the problem, ottermode is basically objectively the most widely attractive body type
>tfw have to get down to 130 lbs to get lean
this is embarrassing
gay gyugty7fbfty
>if I feel like being a fat, greasy neckbeard, no one cares
they do care, just not about you because of the fact youve chosen to be a fat greasy neckbeard
quite a cringe and bluepilled worldview you got there chap
whats worse? Being weak, nonathletic, having an ugly face and being short
OR
having an ugly face and being short?
People like that are brainlets, don't waste time on them.
