Interesting since Japs love sumo.

I've had the cops called on me twice in Portland, OR for doing pull-ups at a playground, and one other time on a random fence

Asian countries prioritize a nice face. I guess deep inside they known w/e you do you can't change the fucking ugly genes.
Their good looking kids get ALL the attention and social head-start they can, since they're so rare.

That reminds me, I need to go to Japan.

Being /fit/ in Germany is either for lower class immigrants who actually put work into it or wealthy Germans who pay 80€/Month to be part of some sort of community without taking it serious.
Speaking about sports, literally everyone is doing some sort of team sports so that is not really special.

In a nutshell: Lifting is alright as long as you don't even do it nearly serious or you're gonna be a piece of shit

Source: I was laughed at and got shit on my last class group photo because I was the broadest.

What a fucked up culture

Masculinity is different in Asia. Sharp facial features, thick eye brows, a beautiful household, healthy family dynamic, a job that involves a leadership roles, etc. are more associated with masculinity. Excessive focus on physical beauty and musculature development is seen as homosexual and low class. Over the years western ideals are becoming more popular tho.

German men are generally pretty fucking effeminate, guess that explains a lot.

>>41122527
Are you black??

>>41122583
No, but I'm irish white trash and was working my way out of homelessness so I was thin and looked like an outcast of society at the time

now my face is clean and people are a little more tolerant of me

>>41122594
I've experienced that in continental Europe sans the communist block really down values lifting. Spain France Germany Italy good luck finding a strength culture like in America for example.

Germany is TRULY KEKED.

There is no saving Germany.

Well I find it hilarious when some turkbro walks in and benches 95kg for reps with inconsistent workouts in baggy clothing while the germans walk in in all gymcel gear benching half their Bodyweight.

>>41122661
Strength culture is only present amongst the Immigrants as it seems

South Korea has a lot of focus on physical beauty . Just look at KPOP and their plastic surgery culture.

you are doomed to extinction, I feel sorry for you

Well, lifting/bb isn't that important in the grand scheme of modern things after all. Actually, it could be argued that it's just pure vanity.

It's not money, it's not a tight job, it's not an Olympic sport, it's not a rockstar band, it's not a high-end political position. It just gets you easier pussy and maybe stay healthier in the long run (if you don't train like shit and don't take drugs).

These cultures have prospered (and subsequently gone to shit) without it, and it'll continue being like that.

>lifting is not an olympic sport
not with that attitude anon

>>41122986
I should have been more clear. Lifting for bodybuilding/bodyimage purposes is not an Olympic Sport.
But go ahead, ignore everything and focus on the little stuff.

this only proves my point further!

Everyone I know in Ireland is pretty supportive of me getting into lifting. Sure there's a few jokes like "Massiiiiive" but it's all in good taste. The only fella I know who's been mocked for going to the gym gets mocked for just messing around all the time. All the girls love a guy who lifts. My Nana even said I'm looking "big and strong just like your uncle" My uncle's been doing backbreaking physical labour all his life, I've been lifting for six months
