normie excuses

Do massive stretch marks on my back and the want to not enlarge them count as an excuse?

Plz help.

>>39093532
i have a gym buddy and he doesnt skip much but every time it gets hard he just drops the weight to 'work on form'

he's been benching just over 1pl8 for like 5 years

>i don't wanna get big and muscular i just wanna be toned
>i just never have any time since i work 50 hours a day
>i'm worried about the dangers of overtraining
>too much protein is bad for your kidneys i read it once on my friend's cousin's sister's blog
>i get really tired after exercising
>i don't wanna get all sweaty and gross
>i like my body just the way it is

fucking REEEEEE

>says he's too busy with academics
>has half of his entire night reserved for watching anime and playing video games
why do normies not have an hour or two of their lives improving themselves instead of sitting in a basement complaining

that's literally me

>>39094607
literally EVERY girl I work with

apart from the one crossfitter, who brags about her 65kg squat

>>39093532

The two ultimate ones are:

>I just don't have time for it.

and

>I don't want to get to big.

As OP said the people that 'just don't have time for it could watch 499,999,999 episodes of TV shows a week instead of 500,000,000 and spend the extra time at the gym.

The 'I don't want to get to big' one is obviously just unfathomably ridiculous.

>I don't want to go ice skating because I don't want to accidentally end up in the NHL.

>I don't have time
>watches TV/movies four hours a night

Is not having enough money to consistently have an adequate diet an excuse?

I am able to work out all day, but because I don't have a good diet and won't be able to for a good while, I'm not sure exercise would benefit me if I just achieve a caloric deficit due to exercise and can't make gains.

>>39095116

There are thousands of inexpensive diet plans that are simple to prepare.

>i would have gone but i was too busy making an important thread on 4chan

>>39095128
What if I'm a neet from the third world whose family eats by dumpster diving behind supermarkets, and can't possibly have any plan besides some vegetables and a small piece of meat every few months?

I did calisthenics for a couple of months and felt like passing out all day long, and it made it impossible to study.

>>39095128

I'm taking under $60/mo or $2/day for full nutrition over 2700cal with at least 160g protein daily.

My last attempt was 5 packs ramen + 5scoops protein powder per day, $1.21/d. But that's not complete nutrition.

>I'd have to spend forever there just to get in shape!

Maybe you should have other priorities than being here shitposting on a Siamese Kite-racing Forum.

Blame the laziness of your ancestors and fellow countrymen.

Tbh honest I havent hit the gym in months. I get hella cardio from cycling round town and eat lean.

I just need to definitively allot time for this shit, cus when you work 4 jobs, play music, and study science days are packed from sun up to sun down.

And I haven't watched t.v. since narcos came out.

I work full time, do full time uni, workout 4-5 days a week, and I still have plenty of time for vidya.

Normies are delusional

I have a friend who's been benching 1pl8 for 2 or 3 years now. He's natty, but he's pretty jacked. He has a 6 pack, good legs, the works; but his chest is lagging behind the rest of his body

>>39095221
enlighten me anon.
im going pretty cheap i think myself, but not that cheap, what do you buy?

This was said to me by a short unmarried Asian dude in his mid-30s at work. He likes My Little Pony as well.

His points were:

A) Why the fuck are you on /fit/ and not /mu/ then?
B) Music > Physical Health is Tumblr tier logic

>mfw you can't listen to music because you die young from not exercising

>>39093665
Tfw thats like me, Except stuck in 2plaets

I don't understand how that's an excuse. He prioritized TV shows over gym, just like he said

Why don't you stop being a basicbitch and live your own life instead off focusing on what other's are doing?

>>39098198
600 chickens, you mean 600 grams of chicken you fucking autist
2 peas you mean two bags or are you a skelly
14 TINS TINS of tuna what the fuck is a farm
18 kilos of pasta oh not a skelly just a fatty hahah want another pop tart you fat neckbeard

i bet you dont even litf

>>39093532
They are right. Maybe in their mind how i met your mother is more important than lifting. Why do you care?

>>39098231
bet you thought this was a funny retort but it isn't

>>39098231
No I don't anon
I truly mean I buy 600 individual chickens
2 singular peas
I buy 14 tuna breeding farms
If you don't even do this basic shit how are you going to make it
I won't be baited anymore

Really?

I sort of passively watched every episode while at uni because it used to be on e4 every day while we were chilling in our living room. I'm pretty surprised people would actually binge watch it. It's just easy background television

Should just be called "The Normie Show for Normal People"

Its so fucking boring, only watched it during breaks at the shittiest job I had and it made me want to go back to work

>"Work is so hard, you are not as old as we are, you don'T understand."
This one is common among my fathers friends. They are all 50+. These fat fucks are just sitting around at their job and occasionally drive their trucks somewhere. Afterwards, they slam some beers every other day. The level of delusion is ridiculous.My father isn't better, he slams a 18-pack of chocolate bars in the evening after lunch most of the time, but somehow didn't turn into a hamplanet yet. He has a huge gut though.
It is wierd to see your parents kill themselves slowly and i don't know anymore what to do.

people who have an average physique with average lifts will still be treated better than the skinnyfat assuming you're not autistic

>I used to be in shape, but I realized how pointless it is. You'll understand when's you get older.

Right you degenerate fatty, age is the key difference between me wanting to look thicc and joicy to look thicc and joicy, or wanting to spend an extra hour every other day on some of my hobbies that I have already dedicated ample enough time. Makes me mad that everyone in my life that I consider my peer thinks this.

I've never touched even touched a bench press let alone used one.

How do I figure out what to do if I know literally nobody who frequents a gym enough to build muscle?

not even mentioning diet

Really just want to kms when I'm on /fit/

>>39094683
>I don't want to get big.

This one pisses me off like no other. Yesterday I spend three hours explaining to my cousin that she won't get big unless she eats big.

She literally could not understand that if her body was in a caloric deficit it would be impossible for her to gain weight in fat OR muscle.

>>39099830
Mark Ripptoes starting strength is a great beginners routine. But find another after 3 months unless you want to go Trex mode.

>>39095913
Post a pic of him. Sounds like me desu.

>i can't be bothered

>>39099874
You can Google have the shit here.
Strength programs:
Starting strength (SS), ice cream fitness (ICF), or Greyskull 5x5 are recommended here
They target developing strength and increasing numbers (how much you lift) quickly, with hypertrophy (making muscles larger) taking a back seat.

Splits, like chest/tricep, back/bicep, and legs/shoulders or PPL are considered the opposite, giving better results for hypertrophy than strength gains.

You'll get mixed results either way. Personally though, I'd recommend going strength then switch over, the routines are simple and structured as well as giving you a strength base to work with. Not only that, but it takes ages to gain strength without proper progressive overload (adding weight in a linear progression every week), and it feels shitty hardly benching more than 1pl8 (one 45lb plate on either side, 135lb total) after any more than a few months.

Any other questions?

I agree that it's just an excuse most of the time, but there really are people who don't have time to go to the gym on a regular basis.

Just imagine you have a full time job, have to work extra hours because it's a shit job, you got a family with two fucking babys (cause one accident wasn't enough, it had to be twins) and you're still doing a masters degree on your spare time cause it would be an unnecessary huge money loss if you stopped now.

It's not me but I got a friend like this, he literally doesn't have any time, he's barely able to sleep.
