>be me, 20 yo, 5'11", 170lb, lifting for 3 months after reading up significantly
>french, so nobody lifts here, and everybody associates lifting with "muh big fake muscles"
>younger brother 16yo, 5'9.5", 135 lbs keeps bitching about being skelly, and how he wants to gain weight. super self conscious about his absolute twig legs
>he eats sugary, fat, protein-free shit all day and tells me he's "bulking up"
>whenever I try explaining protons and why he needs them he justs look at me like I'm nitpicking on broscience shit and just trying to show off my fancy knowledge
>I can tell he doesn't understand what I'm saying applies directly to him, I can see on his skelly face that he's thinking to himself "oh well anon's being autistic again, I just want to gain muscle!", shit is so frustrating
>does meme workouts like 100 pushups, 100 squats, 100 burpees and cardio
>doesn't see results so gives up after 2 weeks, still manages to lose weight
>try to explain the importance of rep range for strength/size vs endurance/"cardio", progressive overload etc.
>not even autistic about barbells and muh big 3, just tell him to get a dip belt for chins, or adjustable dumbbells for lunges/bulgarian squats or something
>basically he's certain he has all the anwers and that the cardio shit he does will get him huge in no time
>whenever I bring up lifting he looks at me like I'm some retard who fell for a meme, he literally told me yesterday that 30min of biking a day will build legs better than any of my meat head workouts
My family sides with him too. They have no clue how this shit works. Basically everyone here despises lifting and think it's a useless meme for insecure faggots.

You're 170 lbs at 5'11 and 3 months lifting no matter how hard you try no will take you seriously since you're not even DYEL mode yet, just continue on the right path for 18-24 months put on more muscle and stop trying to fix other people's lives they will come to you if they need help.

D'expérience, c'est jamais une bonne idée de parler des routines /fit/ à qui que ce soit. Fais ton truc, et laisse les résultats parler. Et si quelqu'un te demande, là tu peux expliquer le principe. Sinon, tu perds ton temps et tu passes pour une baltringue.

Nobody can argue with results. Do your routine and get big and then let him notice for himself. You don't even have to mention fitness to him again. If after that he doesn't care then it's a lost cause.

Hello my European Fella, German here:
The main problem on the whole thing is that lifting is still a niche in European countries, often associated with Roiders from the US, so because of that elite thinking ("We are better than them") they despite working out with iron, or working out in general.
And you are new in all that, so you want to tell everyone everything. Just stop that. No one will hear about their bad habits, just train and eat will for your own, Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, weight lifting in general is an ego sport, you do it for yourself not for others, if they ask you, give them advice. If they don't ask you and just bitching about "muh body" let them.

This. Swiss-fag here. Lifting isn't frowned upon but if you tell people you lift, they basically assume you're some bro who's spitting broscience and talking about protein all the time. Don't even mention it unless people ask you. It's not normal and people don't want to hear about it.

That being said, I know what the first couple of months of lifting feel like. You're making huge gains and you basically want to tell the whole world about it but here's a newsflash kid: Nobody cares. That's just the harsh truth of it. Nobody cares about how well your lifting and diet is going for you and even if it's relevant to a discussion, unless you're being asked directly about it, nobody gives 2 fucks about lifting. It's a fucking hobby so unless they're doing the same they don't care by default. You don't see me talking about Madoka when someone talks about what kind of normie shows they're watching.
>>
>>41276015
Not an expert, but when I started doing some solid exercise (running three days/week) I began to lose some weight (I'm a manlet, with 56kg right now). My family (both smokers, one obese) started saying "Anon, you're obsessed, normal people don't check its weight regularity".

>>41280108
Can confirm. Lifting with a squat rack is realtively unknown, and if you tell people about barbell training it is considered very dangerous. People usually go to the gym to do 30 minutes of cardio, some lat pulldown and pec deck, it is rare for gyms to have a squat rack. I also have the impression that there are more DYELs in the gym than in the states. Generally looking good is less important because there are fewer warm months than in the states on average. If you say that you do weight training, people will assume that you train with machines. Serious lifting is kinda frowned upon because it is unknown and associated with steroids. Universities don't have 20 racks lined up next to each other like in the states. The phrase 'how much do you squat/bench/dl' is not common at all. I don't talk about it with people who don't lift.

So I'm not alone I see. Still, it's weird how a lot of people love sports but absolutely despise weight training here. Like doing pushups or pullups is seen as healthy but as soon as you think about weighting them people will literally hate you and/or kind of think you're a joke. That's frustrating desu. Europe is scared of iron.

As I said, you are new, no one hates weight lifting but people related it with guys like Ronnie Coleman and assume that everyone who lift weights will look like Mr. Olympia. If you just stop talking about it, they will stop giving their opinion.
My mom said all the time how much she will loose weight and want train, yet she didn't do anything, I have weights in the house, I showed her several exercises she could do. She does it once all 6 months and eat chocolate all the time, I gave up and don't lie the weights back anymore after I trained (I'm 24, lifting since 4 years and live at home because student). Just let them and stop talking about it if they don't ask you directly about it.

The same shit happens with languages all around the world.
Basically when you go to Europe or Asia and if you can't speak their language at a high fluency level, they will switch to English because they feel like you are struggling.

So my advice is to focus on your accent as much as possible. If you can nail an accent that is close to natives, then you can get away with having a smaller vocabulary, making more errors, and there will be less chance of them switching to English
