depends on why you lift

You’re right. While I’m in a relationship I usually can’t find the time to go to the gym, instead I’m spending my time caring for her needs and shit that she “can’t do without”.

Can confirm, since my brother got his girlfriend he's been skipping every other workout and eating like shit because she JUST WANTS TO GET SOME PIZZA AND CUDDLE :3

Fuck women, fucking gains goblins, all of them

Your fault for not fat-shaming around your SO enough. I literally say all the time "it's selfish to let yourself go and expect the other person to still be attracted to you" and she agrees. Physical attraction is just as important as emotional attraction no matter what retard SJWs or coping faggots say.

It's entirely dependent on you. People who say their relationship is what's stealing their gains are just making excuses, it's them choosing to spend even more time with their gf instead of spending the hour or two it takes to go to the gym a few times a week. People can go through a relationship and continue making gains, or they can do it and completely stop lifting, it's all on them and what they want to prioritize.

Absolutely 100% this.

not true
I got my biggest gains after getting a gf

There is a direct trade off between discipline and intimacy, and vice versa. That's why monks are celibate, you can't devote your time to a single purpose and excel at it if you have dependants. However, most of us aren't excellent and it's advantageous for us to sacrifice a little discipline for intimacy.

Well my gf cooks for me and without her income I don't think we'd so comfortably afford gym passes.
Maybe once we have kids I will see the priorities on my time change and lose gains but right now I just memorize high yield facts, fuck my gf, eat high macro meals, and lift. And listen to jack johnson.

Depends.
If you become a bitch to your female SO, You will become fat and stop lifting, full stop
Otherwise you'll be fine
The problem is a bitch doesn't know when he's a bitch. Listen to your friends

When I was in a relationship I still went to the gym everyday

i had a fight the other night with this guy who's sort of into me and then i got really sad and ended up not lifting at all that day.

yes, I was a WoW nerd at 15-20. Got fit at 20-22. Met GF at 22 and still with her and we're both at 27.

I was doing 415 DL, 225 Bench, 275 squat at my peak and I remember dreaming about getting a 1k total but I found gf.

Im fat as fuck now but still strong. I'm struggling to get back into the gym after breaking my daily routine 5 years ago.

tfw no gf and being lonely was a really strong motivator

I never reached 1k total, feelsbadman. Havent been here regularly for a while. Does that guy still post tfw no average korean gf? His posts made me fucking laugh

Gf and I both put weight on in the 6 months following us getting together. I started lifting, dropped the fat, bulked for over a year, feeling fucking joocy now and ready to cut for summer. Problem is she's not exercised once and hates me suggesting it. I've made clear my feelings but she'll ignore it and come back later like I never mentioned it. What do? Still think she's attractive with lucky fat distribution genetics but I won't deny she's overweight by now. Would appreciate some fucking effort from her.

Has she seen other women being interested or flirting with you lately?

Fucking faggot

Dump her or be prepared to be saddled with a pig who resents you for not wallowing in the mud with her

yea it is. My girlfriend was my gym buddy even then and in the end I ended up phoning in all my lifts to save time from changing the weight on the bar and losing all my gains. After a year in a relationship I'm pretty skinny fat but my shit job is mostly to blame for that.

The only time I've ever had a relationship hinder my training was when I had sex five times in one day and my hips were tired for squats the next day. I made sure to not be on top so often the day before/of squats after that. Easy fix.

Relationships are only bad for gains if you let them be.

>meet girl at festival 8/10 face 9/10 body
>start dating
>get deployed for a month (Milfag)
>FaceTime eachother every day for hours
>come home
>meet all her family we get on really well, the relationship is long distance but it’s going really well
>go on holiday together, things seem different
>she breaks up with me a week after we get home

Didn’t eat or sleep for 2 weeks afterwards. Lost 3kgs and my lifts all nosedived.

This was 3 weeks ago now, just started getting back into bulking.

Women are only gains goblins if you're a weak cuck. Be a man and lift, if she doesn't like it she can find some other betaboy to leach off of. It's not hard to make time for both lifting and a gf.

thanks for the warning. i feel it could come to this unless i just say what i feel without being nice
sorta. she gets jealous occasionally and i could easily use that

>can't do without
>let her go without
>either she throws a fit or she's fine
>either way she's not physically harmed
It's so goddman simple, no wonder people are retarded with child rearing skills like this
