>still paying monthly

there's literally no better hobby to have

Why do you need a gym?

Push ups and sit ups are free

only if you get fitlit. working on your body and not your body is missing the point of self improvement.

>>42176755
Going to the gym is fine but you should also play sports and do outdoor activities like hiking or trail running.

Some people find passion in getting stronger or in better shape. I think that's dope.

I found it to be boring tbqh. BJJ however is awesome if you want to get in shape and do something with your life.

>>42176755
You have to actually want to go to the gym or you'll just be another person with a pointless gym membership.

>>42176761
That, and you need a consistent diet to get the most of your training.

Any reason BJJ in particular is so popular? It seems like every time someone recommends martial arts on 4chan it's that one.

>>42176760
>burgers consider daily exercise as a hobby
wew

>>42176755

Just buy some dumbbells and lift at home.
Only need to spend 30 bucks.

And yes it is worth the time to work out, whether its for health, looks, girls, etc

>>42176755

Do it. Don't waste your physical prime being a skinnyfat slob

>>42176767
calisthenics

>>42176768
It's deemed as being the most "practical" martial art. Someone told me that if you're good in BJJ, you can beat 90% of the world population in a fight.

>>42176761
How's your second week of "working out" going so far?

>>42176759
what are some good movies about gym memberships?

>>42176774
>implying i didn't give up after 2 days

boxing is the most practical and most alpha martial art

>It's deemed as being the most "practical" martial art.

Maybe in fucking brazil. The most practical one is boxing, always has been, always will be. A decent boxer will beat 99% of people on the street.

Get into body weight exercise, no need to give (((them))) more money.

If you can make it worth your while get a gym membership but I see plenty of people who buy a years subscription and drop off after a week. I'd recommend working on your self discipline first. make sure you are doing something to stay healthy everyday (every other day at the very least) even if its a few pushups before you go to work. Personal change is the one thing you can't buy so make sure you can stick at it.

Anybody want to explain why this is? Makes no sense. Boxing is a game, the winner is the faggot who abuses the rules most effectively. How could that possibly be more practical in a real fight than actual techniques that utilize everything at a man's disposal?

how important is protein powder? should I buy some?

>>42176773
Boxing is more practical in my opinion but bjj is good too

>>42176785
They're both retards who confuse boxing with a striking martial art. You can learn how to punch from any martial artist, a boxing coach is there to make you train till you puke and teach you the rules.

Best combo is BJJ + Kickboxing

because they are faggots and want an excuse to roll around on the floor hugging other men.

When I used to be serious into exercising I would weight lift 6 days a week, NOT body build, just for fitness.
Do skipping and running everyday, swimming once a week, hit the bag 3 times a week and run up my local hill on the rest day.

Best I ever felt in my life, shame I can't get back into it.

>>42176755
Yes do it
Also film it and edit it
Put some good music
Then post the finished product here
I'm glad you posted this in /tv/

It's just milk without the fat and carbs. It's cheap and convenient but not necessary if you already eat enough protein with your regular diet. You should count your calories and see how much protein you consume.

>>42176786
bodybuilding is 70% in the kitchen, 30% in the gym. you need to eat protein whenever you can to gain muscle from working out

buy gold standard whey, have 2 scoops with some milk

it doesn't help you get women, that was just a lie

Boxing teaches core fighting and balance
BJJ is about hugging and locking, kickboxing is obout kicking, i.e putting yourself off balance.
Boxing will always win, guar
ding yourself well, not going off balance so you be knocked down.
Yeah it is nice to have the option to use your legs in combat to but they ar
e vunerable, one should never lift their leg even close to ones waist
in combat, for loss of balance and becoming vulnerable to being grasped.
Boxing is perfect.
Keep t
he enemy away, gua
rd oneself and attack precicesly.
Which all saves stamina.

These faggots trying to hug you and kick you will run out of stamina where you then punish them with jabs.

>>42176755
just get a bench, powerblock dumbbells, and olympic weight set

fuck over paying for a gym, unless it's planet fitness where its 10$ a month.

then for cardio do couch 2 5k or buy a heavy bag and 16 oz gloves and go to work.

>>42176755
It's worth my time and money.
But the fact that you're asking this question means that you aren't motivated or disciplined enough to actually take advantage of the gym.
So I suggest that you spend the money which you would have spent on gym membership on little caesar's chicago deep dish pizza, it'll probably make you happier.
