Beware the MCDOJOS:

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MARTIAL ARTS GYM:
•Physically conditioned, fit participants
•Trainer with certified professional record and a training history with at least one athlete who competes successfully
•Sparring, "aliveness" in training
•At least one participant competes at amateur or professional level
•Physical conditioning part of training
WHAT TO BE WARY OF:
•Fat, physically subpar students and instructor
•Graduation fees (e.g. "pay $200 and advance to next belt extra quick!")
•No proven athletes training there
•No sparring, moves shown are choreographed (e.g. "the attacker does this, then I do this, then you do this...")
•Cult-like atmosphere
•No physical conditioning

Friendly reminder that once you learn how to punch there is no 'magical technique' to make it better and you're better off throwing harder, faster punches by becoming stronger through weight training.

She isn't worth you bro, if she is willing to fuck your best friend and play mind games she is a piece of shit.
You wanna get her back? Find someone you really love and enjoy, and be happy with them and spend the rest of your lives raising kids having an amazing time while she bounces from guy to guy.
tldr live for yourself and not others

Yes. You have gyno, and wide hips.
Avoid estrogen promoting foods and go to a doctor.
So, /fit/ I'm tired to be a fat f*ck what to do?
I went already in different gyms but since I'm lazy I never progress. I will to lose weight pretty quick, so again, what to do?

Fat women on online dating sites think they have a chance in me wanting to address them by writing to me.

I made the mistake of pursuing the first girl I was really interested in. Now I've been with her for 3 years.
Its all great. But I keep getting the feeling that it'd be great to go out and fuck random girls again (but of a much higher attractiveness than the ones I did before I lifted)

Yep.
Back in high school I was 6'1 160lbs and nobody gave me the time of day.
Today I'm 6'3, 220, and have been lifting for a few years. Not even exaggerating, lifting and the confidence associated with it are responsible for nearly all my hookups.

There's varying degrees of retardation. He's functional... but he's not going to be finishing that rocket surgeon degree anytime soon.

Lmao this gif. Surprisingly he makes all 3 box jumps.

>>38508244
My question is why he tries to screw over bigger bodybuilding celebs, and then every """progressive""" fuckass defends him even when they know he's wrong only because "muh retardation"
