I'm moving to Tokyo for work in a few weeks. Any anons know about acquiring gains out there? Are there powerlifting gyms like the US?
I think my biggest challenge will be to learn Japanese and avoiding soi

No you fucking retard, no one goes to the gym there. Gyms don't exist and everyone just eats onions all the time. What a shit thread.
>I'm moving to Tokyo
stay in your own shithole, faggot. immigrants are the scum of the earth. fucking gypsie
fermented soi is great I recommend just avoid the processed crap varieties. From my experience you have small local gyms and the big commercial ones but I've never seen one with a bunch of squat racks like in the US.
Hidetada, the guy you posted, just opened up powerhouse tokyo
WHITE-U FAGGOTO GO HOME
You'll have a harder time over there than here. Protein is more expensive in both powder form and food form. Gyms are more expensive and under-equipped. You started this thread with Hidetada Yamagishi. Well, he moved to the states for a reason.
A bigger challenge than that though is coping with the UTTER FUCKING LUNACY of the expatriate community. It's a very special breed.
Tokyo is bigger than any city in the US. You can find anything you want there.
>the UTTER FUCKING LUNACY of the expatriate community
Do you mean the weaabos? Because we're on Jow Forums. I'm sure OP knows how to handle those scum (merciless bullying)
Based Yamagishi
The Japanese have very good quality meat and fish, they eat more than americans. I'm assuming you're eating real food and not protein powder or plant crap.
Is he still with this lovely lady?
>avoid soi
How does it feel being low test?

If you actually read facts and not take advice from dumb people so y is not bad for you.
>they eat more than americans.
>lady
I imagine the “English teachers” being a big headache. Basically young men from an Anglo country trying to make a living in Japan and outlive some stupid dream while locals hate them
>White piggu go home
>Do you mean the weaabos?
Every single white expat in Japan thinks every other white expat is a fucking weeaboo but not themselves. It's just condescending bullshit all the fucking way down. Nobody knows what a fucking weeaboo even is anymore. Glance at japancirclejerk on reddit (pfffft) and you'll see what I mean.
keep in mind, the nips generally think of muscular people as faggots (in spite of women being all over you).
Individually they have a higher ratio of their diet made up of fish/seafood, if that's what you mean. They don't eat more overall.
don't be rude
thats literally a dude wtf

WAITO PIGGU GO HOME
Literally every single white person I met in Tokyo and Osaka thought they were better and more enlightened and more gracious guests than every other foreigner in the country to the point where they were hilariously overcompensating xenophobes that you'd hear WHITE PIGGU GO HOME from. It got so ridiculous that I basically just pretended to not speak English when going sightseeing
Based and redpilled.
learning another language is not as difficult as you may think. watch a bunch of television in japan (no subs) and immerse yourself in the language. you'll speak and read it in under a month. learning a language is all input.
just don't be a faggot weeb and remember that otakus are still frowned upon.
Assert your dominance as a foreigner by spitting on generally accepted principles. Bringing guns especially triggers the nips
I had to visit for work and ended up hanging out with the Russians. It was great. On the other hand, I see why Japan bans Russian sailors/fishermen from stepping ashore to this day.
>moving for work
Kek stay mad sasuke, if you dont want the BIG AMERICAN COCK conquering your economy and women, have more kids and get a degree instead of killing yourself at 25 after neeting since high school.
PROTAYYYYYYYN

I walked into a Gold's Gym in Chiba a long time ago one night (2007) and they were playing the fucking loituma meme song except it was this DJ Sharpnel-sounding gabber remix

that was pretty funny. seems like there weren't that many koreacirclejekr, chinacirclejerk, thaicirclejerk tho. would be interesting to see those

whatre you doing there OP? I went as a government contractor for a while so i got to use the USN's gym in yokosuka
When you wanna fuck other bodybuilders but are disgusted by anal, there's a way out.Actual pussy, attached to a bodybuilder with a 2 inch clit.
You seem to know alot about this user...
they literally have weight gyms in every major city in japan. people are overreacting here. there is def a subculture of japanese bodybuilders/lifters
But some look hot to me. Does this mean I like dudes?
whenever a japanese naval ship pulls in to port here they infest the gym and a lot of the guys do legit powerlifting (saw my first frog deadlift from a japanese navy guy).
The mentality that they hate fitness is so absurd. They're also remarkably polite, had a guy spend like 5 minutes trying to cknvey to me he was sorry for not reracking his weights until a bilingual guy came and translated
Enjoy being second-class citizen and only finding wageslave jobs that will work you to death. Japan has no place for gaijin
What kind of work though?
went to japan earlier this year and was able to continue my powerlifting training normally save for deadlifts. the gyms there really aren't that awful. i went to tokyo metropolitan gym and other public gyms like that. the gym day passes are cheap. what sucks is waiting for equipment and some gyms have stupid weight AND time limits.
>Japan has no place for gaijin
t. bucket crab NEET without a passport
what about true love/happiness?
Holy shit, so that's what Yvette Bova is doing these days
I lived in Tokyo for two years. Gold's Gym is the best you're gonna get, but expect to pay 15 man to join, and 15 man a month. I think they're in Ginza, Higashi-Nakano (I went to this one), Roppongi, Ebisu maybe, Shibuya.
As for supplements and shit, Amazon.co.jp is pretty good. Also iherb.jp (or something).
Eat at Matsuya on the way back from the gym for beastmode. 大盛り+meat or カルビー丼 is what you need to be a fucking UNIT. If you want cheap meat (you want cheap meat), shop at Hanamasa. 2 kilos of chicken breast for 700 yen.
Expect everyone you meet to say へー、トレイニングしますか?
If you commit to learning Kanji, Remembering the Kanji is not a meme. For learning conversational Japanese, Tinder.
Sushi Zanmai is based too.
I only speak the truth, if you think you can just waltz into Japan as a gaijin and get somewhere you are in for a world of hurt. You need to already have a nice job waiting for you, because you have skills nobody else in the country has.
>Sushi Zanmai
BELAY THAT,
Sushi Zanmai is actually not that good. I was thinking of Kura Sushi (くら寿司)
Yeah but OP already has a job lined up that's taking him there you're tilting at windmills bro. I know you're eager to pwn the weeabs but not everything's a nail
Also, I fucked up, Golds is more like 20,000 yen to join, 15,000/month.
Well, looks like I'm a retard who didn't read the OP properly
I saw Hidetada Yamagishi at the koloseum in fullerton years and years ago
holy shit what a fucking unit
Japan is 95% lactose intolerant, so expect to a lack of dairy products. Thinking of this, I live in Germany and I eat about 1kg, (2.2 lbs) of low fat quark every day. That amount has 680 calories, 120g protein, 40g carbs and 2g of fat. Do guys have this stuff in the USA? Because it is really usefull when trying to reach high amounts of protein on a budget or during a cut.
I think quark is called cottage cheese here in the US and it is popular among American fitness buffs.
>Japan is 95% lactose intolerant, so expect to a lack of dairy products.
Wrong. Plenty of dairy products there. They weren't marketed to children either. MEGMILK and Meiji yogurt is good shit. Every god damn konbini sells royal milk tea.
Not true. Any Konbini will be stocked with multiple dairy products.
Quark and Cottage Cheese are separate things.
Cottage cheese is still good though, more flavour imo
You will never be crushed in her giant muscle tits
What am I doing with my life. I'm just a dumb townie that will never see outside my local city
Hmm, well, I was able to find this at Walmart, but it's very expensive because it's considered (((gourmet))).
walmart.com
>If you want cheap meat (you want cheap meat), shop at Hanamasa. 2 kilos of chicken breast for 700 yen.
Translating this into burger units most of us are more comfortable with: That's $1.44/lb at the current exchange rate which is real good, and fucking incredible if that's boneless
What do you do user? I'm in CS and I've always wanted to move to Japan. I've been twice
They still have the samurai honor
>pwn
man does that bring me back
Might have been 900 yen, but even so. Was boneless. That place is fucking awesome.
To anyone who says Japan is expensive, you're not doing it right. It's not third-world-shithole cheap but you can eat on $10 a day easy, and sometimes can even get lunch out and stay under $10/day.
Not that user, but easiest way might be to go as a Japanese Language student, then interview for jobs until you find one that will hire you with CS. Mind, for nearly any job, you need N2 Japanese MINIMUM.
Or you can go the peasant route and become an English teacher.
They are trash though.
The milk is good but the cheeses there are just not good.
Protip: buy camembert (they love it there for some reason), leave it in the fridge for about 6 months, then eat. All cheese in Japan is super young.
Can be bought desu.
>Marco polo syndrome?
Fermented onions is fine. Check your city council website. Every city has a gym. Costs about 200y/visit. Pretty gud/10 gyms too. There's chains like golds and shit but theyre 100aud/mo+
That's Iris Kyle ten time Mrs. Olympia you uncultured swine
Damn, thanks for this. I'll have to spend some time looking around
Yeah the only thing is I don't plan for it to be long term. Year, maybe year and half at most. Hope I can still order ON protein if needed tho
I'm really stoked for the food. I want to eat as fresh as possible. My office building has a proper cafeteria and looking forward to getting that good seafood
I'm bummed that I have to put away my guns for the duration of my work over there
I'm an engineer, I'll be doing development work for a large company.
This is really good to know. I like routines, and having a go-to gym is a must for me
Engineer and developer.. it's great $$$
Thanks dude, good to know
Thanks a lot for this bro. My company is covering language lessons so I'll make the most of it and try what you suggested. Also, Golds looks like my go to when I get there
Literally never heard of this but it fits

Forgot tachikawa. That goes below shinjuku
I want to be an engineer and move to japan. I’d assume there’s a good market for robotics out there, true at all to your knowledge?
>Engineer and developer
Believe it or not you still won't be autistic to fit in. You'll be like a black person is in America.
That probably excites you.
There's a good bit of robotics activity. Google Japan does some crazy under-the-radar robotics stuff there.
Fove is not robotics, but cool tech.
Just remember that you have to be 14-19 years old to pilot the mechs.
> 19 yo mech pilot
As if
Damn I just missed out on being a pilot, but being part of the development of tomorrow’s tech seems like a dream come true. Have fun user
14-19 year old pilots
Just like my Chinese cartoons

Gold's Gym or bust in Japan. Hope you like hydraulics machines, cardio bunny bullshit and a handful of low weight dumbbells as the only free weights if you can't find one.
Protein powder won't be cheap but will be absolutely necessary if you aren't always cooking for yourself. Even then, your only remotely reasonable option is ground chicken, every other meat is expensive as all hell in any portion you'd be looking for.
Bullshit. I went to a community gym. 3 squat racks, 5 benches and a full Olympic platform.
Cost me 200y a visit and was usually empty
