What made /fit/ one of the best board on 4chan to one of the worst?

>>42257206
People like you!!!!

>>42257206
summer

>>42257206
aestheticfags, feelfags, ketofags, r9k, fa, blog posters, panzer.

>>42257369
Why no boogieposters and vegan, you're probably one of those.

>>42257369
Pol

Boogie posters.

>>42257388
i am not any of those. i do not like boogiefags.
i am not vegan though i dont mind vegan posters.

>>42257392
yeah pol is a problem on every board.

>>42257392
(You).

>>42257206
In my opinion, the inevitable back flow from reddit. Sure, other boards culture has become part of the current /fit, but mannerism of reddit are here. The idea to conform 'le upvote' is slowly degrading what previously I thought was a pretty free-thought board (as long as it was fitness related).

Also, since the true King of Fit has left us (read Supermong), the board has lacked people calling out one another for not lifting as much, or as well.

/fit/ was shit long before boogieposters but boogieposting takes the cake, literally

>>42257206

People who stay on the board but don't exercise. I blame trappy-chan

>>42257206
The increasing negativity. KYS this, KYS that, etc. etc. People with absolutely fine bodies get bullied for no reason other than other people's insecurity. Every fucking routine is a bad one, everyone is always an idiot except for (you)....

Really sad this board has a lot of these toxic personalities. Thankfully the good ones still outnumber the bad ones

All the /r9k/fags that flooded in during the Zyzzpocalypse.

the neverending stream of teenage newfags

If even a couple of you faggots bothered to report the cancer killing /fit/ it would get removed.

Have you been to the other boards? At least this is tolerable.

the whole alpha/beta shit was the downfall of this board

>>42257206
boogie, keto, vegan threads

anything to do with pepe

>>42257369
Traps, trap-related memery, and fucking Trappy-Chan.

>>42257206
First /tv/ memeposting, then /r9k/ incelposting, then /pol/ stormfagging

when supermang left

>>42257755
This, though I'm not sure I share your optimism about the numbers. I rarely see anons building each other up. When I do, it's a surprise.

/pol/

this board isn't that bad but it's slow as fuck now
shitting on eachother unironically instead of ironically for no reason is getting worse

>ctrl+f
>brap
>0 results

REALLY? These fags ruined everything.

>>42258572
>it's slow as fuck now
I thought I was the only one who picked up on how slow this board has become in the last couple of weeks. It's almost like there are only 15 anons on here. What the fuck is going on? We're approaching /trv/ levels.

>>42257206
it's just summer

>when your life is so devoid of aim, perspective, and accomplishment that you give even an ounce of shit about the quality of an anonymous ethiopian tire refitting forum on the internet

if you do anything but come here to laugh at incels you are never going to make it. get your priorities straight, retards.

>>42258606
yeah i think a lot of anons notice it.
>tfw this is becoming a once a week board

>>42257479
Yup. Nothing like coming home after a long day of work an gym and reading that shitposting while savoring a whey shake.

All the different memes that got spread around the internet making undesirable people want to come here

>>42258581
Absolutely not. Brap is a good meme for 4chan because it discourages random off topic porn posting.

>>42257392

You just have to post in the one decent thread and ignore everything else.

>>42257369
>aestheticfags, feelfags, ketofags, r9k, fa, blog posters, panzer.
/pol/ infestation
THICC, 'no fap', 'tfw no gf', 'jelqing', 'cold showers only', and other shit troll-memes

r9k, pol, manlet threads even though they are hilarious

People who think getting fit will fix their shitty life. While ignoring everything else that makes their life shit.

>>42262697
also sip threads and constant "boogie" threads. seriously these boogie threads should result in permabans for all posters

>>42258759
I still come on twice a day
>breakfast
>post-workout

Influences from outside of /fit/

>>42257461
the original chad stride was hilarious though

there just haven't been any new memes in a while and people ran with waht they had

>>42257392
But /pol/ is really one of the better boards, to be honest. You don't have to agree with the point of view, but the content is fascinating.

The death of Zyzz meant that we no longer had a culture which allowed for the rise of literal Nazism and all the face, frame, height that goes along with eugenic thinking.

>>42262826
I understand that this is a thinly veiled meme thread but I unironically think the lack of board idols has made /fit/ worse. People like Zyzz and Scoobs balanced the place out because it gave ego lifters perspective. Without them everyone is just running wild and shitposting with bad advice and nothing to back it up.

We need a hero.

>>42257206
Partly people from other boards/sites finding out about the memes then coming here to shitpost and never lift.

>>42257876
This anon has it. A lot of boards don't have moderation anymore, but threads are deleted on /fit/ all the time. Just report the cancer and move on

>>42257206
/fit/ is special in that people graduate from it

many classes of /fit/ have been here

not much to do here after you learn everything

its apart of /fit/

when you make it

you no longer have access to this place

and it fades away like a dream

>>42263022

I have been here for 5 years m8, been a lurker for most part because I really didn't know anything or to give. But now I am probably one of the better experienced lifters now, so I am trying to post more knawwledge, but it's so hard to cope with such shitty posters on this board as of late.

I-I think I'm starting to fade away...

>>42263022
more or less true.. but I still come back for the bantz

>>42257206
Lifting should be about self improvement and health, not vanity or fucking as many sluts as possible.

>>42263189
>>42263214

im also from a bit back

feels like im starting to age out

I thought people would stay at this place not just /fit/

more newer people overwhelm and drown out everyone else


would be nice to be able to have distilled or older poster version of this site

>>42257206
Figure out why Scooby pays a few of us to shitpost BBC here, and you'll find your answer.

>>42257206
All the funny/notable people made it and stopped coming back. What remains is losers and underage, and monster's PR team. Almost all the good memes are recycled from 2+ years ago. Likewise if you've been lifting for 2 years or more and still haven't made it you're not going to and you're here forever.

The only good things happening this year is the Chad meme took off in full force, brapposting, tinder reply threads and you might hate it but I enjoy the back and forth of boogieposting until he comes out of lurking.

>>42263022
It isn't just that though, the board itself has changed. There used to be informative threads, and information exchange.
Now on the front page all I ever see is
>depressed asshole
>doesn't know how to talk to grills
>manlet overcompensation thread
>manlet hate thread
>Some shitty /general/ variation thread
>roids
>should I just roid
>You guys should just roid
There's no more PR's and progessions, form discussions and ways to improve lifts.
Newfags constantly rattle on saying "read the sticky" or "PUT IT IN THE QDOT THREAD" while not at all getting that those things contribute to the cancer that is killing our board cultures.

>>42263247
>would be nice to be able to have distilled or older poster version of this site

not using unlisted boards?

Stay new, newfag.

>>42263022

This basically. Came to /fit/ 3 years ago after having done the usual tour of 4chan neckbeard boards.

Was a miserable out of shape obese loser who sat around playing mmos & close to ending up a pathetic /pol/tard or something.

3 years later I'm down 10% bodyfat and feel great. Don't even have Steam installed or my Xbox plugged in. Have had a gf and dated girls. Had hook ups in clubs.

Am the kind of dude I would have called a normie maybe even Chad. Barely come here, let alone the rest of 4chan anymore and it seems like a shithole everytime I do.

>>42263022

>when you make it

>you no longer have access to this place

>and it fades away like a dream

So /fit/ is basically a homosexual version of Spirited Away

The fact that everything on this board is obsessed with women

Literally everything this board ever talks about is their complete obsession over talking to girls, dating girls, getting mired by girls, lifting for girls, their girlfriend, etc

>>42263300

god, you wreak of autism for coming up with that kind of shit post.

>>42263331

well it's because of FUCKING TINDER and other shitty dating apps.

4 years ago there wasn't any of that shit. You actually had to man up and talk to girls in person, now all the beta cucks are even more desperate because some app is doing most of the work for them.

truly pathetic

Reddit Spacing is certainly an issue, as displayed in this thread. /pol/ gets quite annoying with the off topic and repetitive shitposting. Feels fags need some sort of containment thread. There's definitely a bigger hugbox mentality also, not sure what is causing that.

>>42263373
No I don't think it is

I'm not talking about tinder threads. I'm talking about how half of the threads on this board are related to guys girlfriend problems, talking about girls they lift for, girls they find hot, sex with girls, how lifting changed your relationship with girls, etc

For some reason this board in particular is completely obsessed with girls. They are more important than air and water

Really
Weird

>>42258606
>>42258606
it's the same fucking bullshit it's not even about health OR fitness anymore. This place has turned more into like 3 circle jerk threads than anything
>fatty hate threads
>steroid thread but don't post sources so our secret club doesn't get bigger
>bodyweight thread watch me do pullups

There hasn't been one gym story thread this whole year I think.

It's also because almost all the good trips are gone.Once Quad left this place wen to shit that even the shitty trips left lol

>>42257392
this is a large part

>>42263022
this is true tbqh

I'm not gonna say I made it but I find myself coming here less and less since I don't need to ask DYEL questions anymore.

This is very true.
I made it for a little while, but 1/2/3/4, landed a qt Asian gf, lived the good life and stopped coming here. Then when that all fell apart and I got soft from a year and half of binge drinking and fucking dumb sluts till my gains were too gone and my emotions were all numb, I came back, because I was hungry to make it again.
I've gleaned all the useful info I can from routine threads and some feedback from cbts, after I lost about 30lbs. But i feel like I find one good thread a day here, instead of several, like it used to be. The bants are incredibly stale, the CBTs are all /soc/ teir hugboxes or frauds samefagging. Why do you lift threads become all about Hitler in 10 posts. Half the posts are face/height/frame Chad posts.
It's all too far gone. Theres more cancer than not at this point.

>>42263453
Because most of them are insecure virgins and thats all they have. When they don't have it, it's more at the fore of their thinking.

Obviously part of their desire to improve self stems from a lack of attention from chicks in general. They think it'll be panacea for their ugly faces, short statutes, lack of accomplishment, personality etc.

>>42257559
>the joke

>>42263428

Are you a fucking idiot?

>>42258614
Have previous summers been this slow and negative? I can pin a thread and come back days later and it's still around, I feel like I never saw that a few years ago.
And it used to be like new York, people are friendly if you don't bullshit and waste their time in serious threads, and it was kinda us against the world. We're gonna make it.
Now every routine and every body gets what on regardless of quality by crabs in a bucket saying
>Chad has a better body just eating PIZZA
There's no point in trying on this board as it stands.

>>42263355
When does it become acceptable to just toss your kid in the ocean and start over?

Pol is...
1: 15 y/o permavirgins roleplaying Turner Diaries
2: Mudbloods roleplaying master race
3: Political shills from Reddit
4: Trolls

Nothing of value is ever posted there. The people who actually are racist just echo chamber each other but most people are just teenagers being edgy.
At the end of the day it's a bunch of teenagers and man-children who have never contributed anything to society blaming society's problems of feminists and ethnic types.

>>42263022

This is pretty accurate actually.
When I first started lifting I came here for inspiration and occasionally got some knowledge. Now, I come here less and less as I don't need inspiration and I know what I need to know. I've already surpassed the goals I set when I started and became bigger than I ever planned on being. The more I work out the less time I actually spend on here but I assume the people who have been fucking around for X years and making no gains will never leave.

>>42257392
This. They are a cancer.

>>42257338
wow rude

zyzz was the catalyst. this absolutely cannot be argued.

after zyzz came a tidal wave of underage summerfags from /b/, and after them came the casuals, the tumblrinas, the /pol/fags, the memers, and all sorts of other toxic personalities.

fuck zyzz forever.

>>42265830
>the golden age is what started the decline

I think we need more trips, more people who actually lift and know what they're talking about for the most part. Pls come and save /fit/

I've been here for over 6 years. Gotta admit it's a little different now. Up until 2011 or 2012 maybe was still prime time. There's not too steep of a difference though. Just like any board on the 4chinz, /fit/ has always been and will forever be shit. Love you brehs no homo.

p.s. I don't come here as much anymore and like some other guys mentioned I might be fading away
