No. Anybody who uses the internet leisurely regularly is not a normie. Normies are people with full time jobs, sociable, and only use facebook/instagram/twitter. Even reddit isn't 'normie'.
A new normal is definitely establishing itself on 4chan. That's natural with anything, nations evolve. But even the faggots here aren't normie. They're severely depressed, neurotic, pathological and ignorant.
Why don't YOU fuck off.

I started out skinny fat and laughably weak. I still have a ways to go, but thanks to you people I can now take my shirt off at the beach without being crushed with shame. I learned everything I know about lifting from this place. You helped me when I really needed it and changed my life for the better.
Thanks, fit.
100% serious.

Other noticed effects have been a more dominant and aggressive mindset (aggressive in a practical and useful way, not retarded anger). I think about having power over women and controlling them, whereas a week ago I'd think about feet and mutual love and cumming quickly.
If you can handle the pressure you reach godmode.

It's a very common problem amongst people whom sit down for long periods of time.
This is a stretch that helps.
Also: foam roll your back, spend extra time on your tender areas, roll it back and forth for 30 seconds each tender area.
Get to your low back, foam roll it, bend your knees and use your heels as a pivot point and just roll your knees to the right and left.
I'm sorry if I'm not able to illustrate it clearly enough. I wish I could show you. I'll try to find a video.

>Learn to play an instrument (imagine having 10 years experience playing the piano when you're 30)
I've played guitar for 7 years now and am pretty proficient (I can play most solos and riffs without a lot of effort, can improvise, etc.) so I'll offer some advice on learning guitar and instruments in general.
>Guitar
>Technique
For the first 1-2 years you'll be pretty shitty. Your fretting hand will often go on the wrong strings and your picking hand may miss strings entirely. This is normal.
1. When you're watching a movie or television, bring your guitar! Slowly pluck frets 1-2-3-4. If you can do this for several hours a week whilst watching movies, your technique will improve much more quickly.
2. How to play fast? Use a metronome and play slow. Slow whatever riff you want to learn and spend 5-10 minutes playing it slowly. Gradually bump up the metronome until you reach the point where it's difficult, yet you can almost play it. This is your 1rm. Drop slightly (5-10bpm) below this point and work on the riff then.
>Rock Music
Learn barre chords, pentatonic scales, and solos. As you learn each of this, try to come up with something new/different ways of playing it. When you learn solos, learn to SING them! If you can't sing the whole solo, you have not learned it. You have only memorized frets on a guitar. Good musicians can play solos on any instrument once they figure out how far apart the notes are.
there's a lot more to go into, but this is fine for now
>>
>>28303926
>Finger size
Your fingers are not too small
Your fingers are not too big
I've met good players with both. Stop complaining.
>tl;dr How do I get good?
Do you want to become a great guitarist (or musician)? Do you want to be the type of guy who can play along with any song? Do you want to be able to walk into a jam session and play without asking for chords?
Read the Music Lesson by Victor Wooten and follow his philosophy for learning. Learning by ear is tough, but the hard way is the easy.
