Why is this really?

I never understood why would you need to lie about something like this?

Because others lie about it too and you dont want to appear that you need to put effort into these things?

I don't think that's why you avoid answering.

I think you want to appear "gifted" to others and make others mad that they don't get anywhere without any effort like you seem to be getting.

Why are you scared of talking about the gym?

You use steroids dont you?

fucking normies.
havent done anything aside from bodyweight and boxing for the last 2 years.
>normies will never know true power

usually i answer with "yeah a bit", or "sometimes". back when i was lifting.

i do it not because i want to feel superior, but because i dont want normies catching on because then i'd have competition.
that was before i realized that its much better to actually know how to take somebody out than look like you can.

>>39978526

desu it's annoying talking about the gym to people. They always ask for advice, never know what they're talking about, and totally used to bench 218 lbs and squat 493 lbs even though they're clearly out of shape.

>>39978505
Because most people will never be more than average at anything they ever do in their life.

If you play vidya you've probably done more reading or research on ideal builds, skill trees, or quests than an average bloke does all year - with the exception of BuzzFeed articles.


With lifting it's the same. Most of these people have never spent more than a half hour in the gym, and when they did go in they never had a plan other than "burn out on some machines, dude".

Novice levels of planning and training are more dedicated and thought out than anything they've considered before.

This kind of thing is only if you have some big goal! You're not on a sports team, why are you training so hard, my dude? Relax, get some swag and smoke some weed with me, brother

Because lifting is a vain sport, you do it to improve yourself. At least that's what normies think. I can tell people I play video games. I do that for fun. And nobody feels incentivized to play videogames

Lifting is also fun (once you get passed the rough edges). But unlike videogames. It requires effort to put in for it to become fun. But people don't know that and would look different at me.

Tl;dr only douche bags lift because it requires an element of selfcenteredness and you don't want to tell people you're a douchebag

I generally avoid talking about lifting with normies because more often than not they'll want to "discuss" training with you and they'll start spouting a bunch of random broscience garbage that they heard from a dude when they went to the gym one time. I really don't like to deal with that crap.

I got asked this at work today. Deployed my standard jokey line: 'Yeah, best stress relief in the world.' Went over fine I think.

Say no, because I work out at home :^)

Do girls say "I have a pound of makeup on"? That's like a guy saying "I hit the gym 1.5 hours a day 5 days a week".

If a girl is wearing that "no makeup" makeup, she will tell you she has no makeup on. She wants to be seen as being pretty without makeup. You want to be seen as being shredded without working out. "Naturally shredded" or "I just play sports". That makes you 10x more impressive than someone who tells everyone he works out every day like some kind of insecure faggot who is so scrawny he needs to tell people he hits the gym for them to know.

>>39978803
This is mostly true, it's very hard for normal people to understand another persons passion if they have never had one of their own.

Most people live fairly boring lives and don't have any serious goals, seeing someone else so committed to something can cause a normal person to become confused and when something doesn't make sense, people generally try avoid it, so they will avoid you.

That's why you should downplay your gym time and passion, unless you're talking to people who share the same commitment.

>>39978505
It's bants familam. It makes the fattys amd holocausters believe it actually is all genetix.

>>39983615
But makeup is pure cheating while being fit requires a lot of dedication

>>39983750
It's about creating the illusion of having everything with 0 effort.

If people knew how much effort you put in they'd get defensive because they realise how lazy they are.

There's an element of self preservation and just avoiding unnecessary bullshit.

I say "a little" and of course, Chad Thundercock says "we should go some time" because he's looking to shame me since he's built and I'm only 5'10" 185lbs. So I say "sure" and meet him that weekend. He's got his designer gear and I'm wearing cheap shorts and a T-shirt. The sluts spot him and start fawning over him. I then proceed to curl 185lbs X50 reps, bench 275lbs X50, squat 480lbs X100, leglift 1000lbs (including the legbar) X300. At the end I say "we should do this again sometime" and he responds "maybe but I'll have to check my schedule". He never asks me again.

>>39985003
he probably doesn't want to lift wth you because you train like an aspie powerlifter and you ignored the sloots not because you "leglift" more than him

>>39985042
Or it could be that he could only do 15 reps with lower weight. Sure, he's more aesthetic but I'm stronger which is all that matters in a fight.

It's the difference between telling someone, "Yeah I played WoW when the new Legion expansion came out for a bit."

or saying, "I played Legion up until last week but I couldn't decide between characters. I honestly leveled SIX characters to 110 and instantly hated each of them for different reasons upon doing so. I got so stuck between playing my paladin or druid that I just lost interest in the game after doing the same thing over and over and barely making progress."

There is a time and place for both answers. The first is for the general public to say, "Heh, yeah I play a bit of WoW" and the second is for someone I trust, that I know will understand, and most importantly that I actually want to have a conversation with, because I'm opening the doors and furthering the topic.

The best part was the technique. He got all psyched up, grabbed the bar as wide as humanly possible (minimal ROM) and sometimes put his legs on the bench. He was practically screaming in his last reps, scaring grills.
