I hear shit like this all the time. Are normies actually retarded and think getting "too big" is so easy that it will just accidentally happen if they start working out, or are they just trying to justify being lazy?

>>42371077
It's their ego protecting itself from from admitting to lazyness.

>>42371154
its for sure that, paired with disastrously uninformed knowledge of anatomy and physiology

There. Are you happy? You got the (You).

>>42369527
In their eyes, you do. Get dem gains and fuck em. If you like them, then downplay (or just hide it). You're not working hard (because hard work doesn't mean shit), it's your genetics, kek.

because it's called fit
which means a lot more than "has muscles"

there should prolly be a board for actual fitness
like a health board
where people are not emotional cripples but focus on being functionally healthy humans

"Anon you're getting too slim and muscular!"

Meanwhile I'm 5'9" 180 lbs @ 15% body fat and have a very slight stomach pouch. Also some people told me I look sick since I lost A LOT of fat from my face (facial gains are best gains). Others have criticized me for using MFP too.

strength training is a very important aspect of fitness. strength training reduces the risk of injury, reduces the risk of developing muscular and skeletal disabilities, and makes people generally happier, more focused, alert, as well as more socially functional. body building and strength training are perfectly acceptable (dare i say excellent) forms of physical activity, hobby, or entertainment.

what I know you mean to say is that you think some of us in this board might aspire to neglect strength for size, may neglect the development of good form and increase the chance of injury, and they might not be using other forms of exercise regularly like hiit, yoga, meditation, or Pilates to maximize gains and have a more balanced set of fitness goals. I think your just concerned for the safety of some /fit/itezens here and it may be triggering some anxiety. unless your an insecure hater. your not just insecure are you.

>>42369527
>if you want to lose weight anon you need to do more cardio

>>42372707
Well it does help though. But it's all about diet and burning more than you take in.

Same thing here anon, but with my mom. It sucks too because I know she's morbidly obese and probably won't live past 80 at this rate.

>tell gf that losing weight is 90% diet
>tell gf that bread and cookies make you fat
>you're silly anon, you just gotta do lots of cardio :)

FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Is the "anon steroid powders are bad for you" so common?
I told my mom that it was just a milk derivate and she's fine with it.

>squats and deadlifts are exercises worth doing

>hahaha anon are you going bear hunting with those TRAPS?
>don't worry guys anon can lift it because he goes to the gym

The worst part is when normies start talking about their 1RM on bench

>>42372588
kek who did that

>>42373334
what do normies 1rm on bench? My best quality is my bench

I love my dad, but he's convinced that he knows fitness stuff as well as a high-level PT because he takes classes at the gym
>Signing up with the gym he uses becuz hanging with him during break
>"Hey Anon, now that you're all set, let's get you warmed up"
>"Uh, I don't need to warmup, I'm just here for lifting"
>"Don't be ridiculous, of course you should warmup. Come on"
>Proceeds to make me do a 10 minute cardio warmup
>Gets pissed when I snap and say I just want to go lift, not do cardio
I literally just asked for a tour of the gym from him, that was it. He didn't even show me around, he just got pissy and went off to do running when I didn't want to spend 20 minutes doing high-knees across a yoga room.

He also doesn't trust my workout.
>Hey Anon, what's your routine like
>Well I do X Y and Z on this day and A B and C on that day with 5x5 each
>Anon that's way too few reps, you should probably have like 10, I do 16 for my sets
>No, when I do fewer reps I can use higher weights which helps me push my max
>Yeah okay Anon
>Rolls his eyes at me

>>42373624
It's actually a pretty good idea to do some light cardio to warm up before lifting. Be nicer to your father, he will be dead some day and you will miss him.

>>42373767
It doesn't come across well in text, but when he disagrees with you he just talks with this super disdainful voice, like he thinks you're stupid. It makes it very difficult to have a conversation with him that results in you being nice because his default response is to either treat you like you're an idiot, or to do the super passive-aggressive "Yeah, okay" thing.

I know I should warmup for RoM, but that means lighter loads, not doing "world's greatest" across the gym floor after I already told him before we got there, several times, that I just wanted to do my own thing after he showed me around.

>>42373447
The DYELs usually say 165-185 and the ones who sporadically "lift" usually say 225

>>42369527

The classic

>I'm not fat just curvy

My mother is 350lbs and still uses this.

>>42371352
Literally my Mom.

Normies are so fucking 2d.

>>42372787
Too much cardio builds up cortisol and puts the body in neoglucogenesis, promoting skinnyfatness.

>>42373329

5 miles for warmups my ass.

My dad told me that lifting won't solve my people phobia, so far it's true.

>>42374200
It's a phrase for idiots in denial and obese people are idiots in denial.

>>42372328
It's true as a general rule, but your body does digest calories from different sources differently (primarily because of what they're accompanied by - a calorie from soda is digested nearly immediately and cause liver / pancreas weirdness, calories from nuts are digested slower due to the nuts' fiber content and tend to not cause insulin spikes like sugar does). It's a good general rule, but it's still a good idea to eat healthy.

>>42374325
The whole twinkie thing was bs. And he got diabetes as a result, good diet work.

The only reason normies found it profound was because they unironically believed that it's "junk food" and "fat intake" that caused people to get fat.

The only thing this diet did was dispel the idea that it was that fat in foods causing people to get fat, something anyone with half a brain already knew.

And I'm sure his body comp looked like shit for one, and he would feel like shit if he did any exercise for two.

Fucking normans.

>>42372902
80 is fairly old. If she's morbidly obese. morbid obesity shaves off about 10 year of life. put in the average lifespan in the US is 78 (even iceland, the european country with the highest life expectancy is only 82 years), she's liable to die anytime after age 68.

>I have all this fat that I've been turning into muscle lately!

>>42369527
I just read one here on /fit/.
>working with light weights is better for strength training

Your response to questions about your diet should be "yeah it's really awful, but I'm diabetic and it's the only thing keeping me off insulin shots. So I can either diet or stick a needle in my butt every day." They feel bad for talking shit about you and they won't tempt you with junk anymore.

Why the fuck do old people feel the need to give people advise when they clearly don't want it?

nah like i just find it a laugh when people who lift get tired, hungry, have mood swings, and claim to be healthy.

like i'm 70kg and I can run faster and further than you, jump higher, climb higher, swim faster and further, work all day without eating, have a stable mood etc etc,

I'm pretty much arguing that cardio will always beat lifting in our current society, and that the time people waste on muscle gain could be better spent on their enduring health rather than the aesthetics meme.. and even on that point, I've for sure got more definition than anyone here without even really trying.. further on that point, muscle mass makes no difference when it comes to confidence, and people who go to the gym pull less pussy than a person who's got true confidence.. because, you know, you don't actually fixate on your looks if you are actually a confident person

That night I hit a new diddly PR thanks to how pissed of I got.
DO NOT GIVE UP ! Lifting really will help, I used to be unable to leave the house and now I can carry a conversation with strangers with no dificulties. It will take some time and because of this you might not notice it immediately but I can assure you that it will work. We're all gonna make it

cardio burns more calories while you're doing it and for about 2 hours after than weight lifting, but lifting continues to burn more calories for 24-36 hours after the work out.

So he's just parroting what his trainer tells him? I bet he didn't even go to the gym more than once a week. Physical therapy at least makes you go multiple time a week to get back in working form.
