>>39755727
Maybe she dumped you because you're the kind of person who would dedicate two years of their life to an opportunity to fish for a compliment?
lol @ lifting for girls.
>Start of 2016:
>Tell myself ill finally get fit, learn programming, how to play guitar and finally get a job I like
It's been a year guys. I haven't done any of it.
How the fuck do I make 2017 MY year?
>>39755581
>have realistic goals
>have a contingent mindset
>>39755591
What does that even mean
>>39755581
>guitar
is for showoffs only, it's completely useless otherwise.
>fit
can be done with sport and some weights.
>learn programming
and compete with 3rd worlders where $2 buys them a skype connection and a ticket out of poverty
>rewarding job
it has a title precisely because it's repetitive and no one wants to do it. Money is the reward for your time.
Why is squatting harder than the leg press?
It's the same movement and muscles.
>>39755342
squatting requires substantial core strength and control that you dont get from cardio bunny ab work and leg press.
Due to core involvement, stabiliser muscles for balance and the fact that the leg press machine is at an angle, making the movement about 30-50% easier depending on the angle
>>39755342
>It's the same movement and muscles
Not really
How do you motivate fat and lazy friends to come lift with you?
my friends seem content with spending their whole day playing league of legends and overwatch while stuffing their faces with snacks and getting more obese.
it feels wrong to just sit by and let them destroy their bodies
Let them motivate themselves, they are over 18 right? Sure you can shove facts down their throats, but I think the best way is if they truly want to change.
>>39755284
You do what you do. They can follow. Or not.
>>39755284
Lead by example and make occasional open offers. You can't force motivation, but you can possibly inspire a change, or help someone who wants to change and needs a hand.
Avoid being negative and/or persistent. It just puts people on the defensive. They know the health facts already. They are very aware of their habits and bodies.

That's every thread, you might as well sticky one and be done with it. But people would probably ignore it just like the actual sticky.

To people who have made it;
I want to get fit for the sole purpose of having more success with women.
Is this feasible? Should I turn back now? Will lifting help me with regards dating or hooking up?
>>39749972
Turn back now. You'll never make it with such flimsy motivation.
>>39749972
Will it help you? Yes. Will it kill your entire foundation of motivation to lift after as little as fapping? yeah probably
Certainly, I was a 22 kv until I got fit. It won't solve all your problems, as social skills are more important, but if you have no confidence or skills like myself, then it's a good step in the right direction.
Hey /b/ros how the fuck do you do pull ups without equipment?

Is anterior pelvic tilt really bad?
>>39747756
Yes, unless you're Widowmaker.
>>39747756
No, Posture is very poorly correlated with back pain. If you do have a lot of anterior pelvic tilt during lifts then yes, it could be a problem. but for everyday stuff it wont.
Do you have a nice big ass my ebony bb?
