Who here is /fit/? How has it changed your life?

Became fit four years ago. Felt really good but got bored lifting and stopped working out. Now all the muscles turned to fat and I have no streangth in my arm anymore. Regret that I started in the first place, muscles are worthless.

I am very weak and perfectly happy with it.

>>34563996
This is exactly what happened to me but just two years ago. I still have a bit of strength left, but I just can't be arsed to go to the gym anymore. And I don't have a job where it is useful anymore. [spoiler[Because I don't have a job at all.[/spoiler]

>>34563954

I got fit and muscly

Now I get attention from girls but I am too anxious to ever act on it. So it's like a big cucking for me. Atleast before when no one payed me attention I didn't feel like I missed out on not acting on girls because they never gave me the signs. I am just too autistic

I'll admit that I'm a little worried of going to the gym, I'm quite socially awkward and I don't really want to get super big and strong anyway.
I have been told to try bodyweight exercises just to get a little stronger though, is it worth my time? Push ups, sit ups, squats, etc

I'm working on it.

I already lost ten pounds and my girlfriend has recently been asking me if I'm going to leave her for someone skinnier (she's a little more than chubby but not obese... yet).

2 years lifting. Started noticing huge difference getting it on by older women. Younger girls are mostly too shy to say anything but they'll stare into my muscles and I'll have to snap out of it. Co-workers always seems to make comments and people sometimes ask for advice. Hasn't got me laid yet but trying to fuck a co-worker. Has vastly improved my mental health though.

>>34563954
i am not /fit/ of body but i am /fit/ of mind, i've been reading all of yukio mishimas novels

>>34564328
you are half a man without both my boo

>>34564328
isn't that what really matters in the end though?

>>34564292
can you specify what you mean by getting it on by older women.
im curious because ive always wanted to get a milf desu.

>>34564328

I'm smarter than you and I'm /fit/, why would any girl pick you over me!

>>34563954

that's the only thing that has changed, my size intimidates just people

>>34564388
how long have u been lifting

>>34564399
3 years I can post a pic if you want

>>34564378
I work in a restaurant setting and have to wear a fairly tight shirt and always get comments from the older women hitting on me all the time. They'll say shit like "is a gym membership required to work here". Or when I ask them if they any anything else they'll say "nothing but you hot sauce". Expect to get more attention from older women than your age group. Idk maybe it's just the place I work but most girls around my age group are ezty insecure. They'll still mire you but covertly instead of overtly

>>34564379

>>34564103
yes, as long as you do them regularly.

How long woukd it take for a skinnyfat to see results?

I don't want to be huge, just build up my arms/traps a bit to balance out my my fat legs

>>34564521
You would be better off just building everything then. If you arent that "fat"(12-15% bodyfat) you should bulk up, then cut after.

>>34564559
Won't that be more work? I just want to look bigger, I don't care about strength.

>>34564599
You will get strength anyway just from linear progression, really fast. That is, if you eat enough to recover and build.

PPL is pretty easy, and requires max of an hour + in the gym. Later on, as the weight goes up it will take more time to recover during sets.

Isn't it kind of pointless?
Outside of being asthetically pleasing and being able to show off here and there what's the point really?
I guess if you are into box or martial arts then it's cool but yeah it's too big an investment for too little reward otherwise

>>34564270
I've tried.

She's motivated at the beginning but gradually loses all interest before the month is up. She also thinks some of the exercises look "silly".

I thought her jealousy would fuel her into working out but nah.

>>34564637
It changes how you think and act completely


Assuming you lift long enough to get any size

>>34564118
So basically it helped with your confidence?
I never had any confidence issues

>>34564629
sounds like you have mental problems. its ok to act normal sometimes, think about how little people really deconstruct behavior on some autistic level. and even if they do, who cares, fuck them

>>34564666
How does it change the way you think?
I guess if you are extroverted it may change your attitude but I'm so introverted I sometimes fail to notice people standing next to me

Yeah man you really need to be careful with that stuff. One rep too many and you wake up looking like that the next day.

you'll see some results after a month and then after that it gets slower and slower but if you take a pic of yourself when you start you'll always be able to see how far you came.

It will improve anyway

>>34564630
Try GOMAD

I used to be somewhat fit but went too heavy and now my back is fucked for life. I was in the best shape of my life when I didn't even go the gym but just worked in retail. Walking 40 hours a week and constantly lifting things got me lean. These days I just lift light. It ain't worth the risk going heavy.

I guess I started lifting because I was looking for a solution to my interpersonal problems. It didn't help of course. If anything people were even more confused by me when I looked like I should have been confident but wasn't at all. Overall though being in shape feels a lot better than being overweight or skinnyfat. I just think people are doing it for the wrong reasons and the bodybuilding culture is toxic. If you are doing it for health reasons, you can only benefit.

>>34563954
I'd rather just have a lean, cardio body desu. Clothes always look better on guys like that.

>>34564836
>How long did it take for you to start seeing any noticeable results?

Two months to go from being soft to being harder. At this point your self esteem jumps and you feel like you could beat up someone.
Two years to go from your current self, being noticeably fit. At this point you start getting compliments and people ask you for advice.

>>34564626

I have some upper body muscle but also a gut from booze.
Some grills are more polite to me now, in another 6 months of lifting that number will increase again.
My Thad (not full chad) housemate has the gym in common with me and we get on easily and I can go out to normie places like bars and the like on occassion with him and all his friends if I want to up my social position somewhat.
That's about all from an external perspective. Internally it makes me respect myself more, I'm more proud of myself and I sleep a little better and diet better in general so health gains. I'm dyel by /fit/ standards of course and I only lift twice a week atm because my legs are too fat as is so I skip leg day.

Its easier for him to be fit, he was like 4 feet tall. He doesn't need much muscle at all to appear aesthetic.
Also he didn't have delicious and cheap fast food and candy during his days.

I'm skellymode fit and I work as a programmer. Because of where I work normies think I'm /fit/ even though I've been lifting for 4 months only. It gives me more confidence but it doesn't cure autism and that. Also I feel like it takes up too much time and I would rather just game. I'm balding however, so getting fit is the only way I have to compensate for that.

It's the arms/shoulders/chest, somewhere between dadbod and /fit/. I've got a bit of a gut but not as much as Sam and I'm not nearly as tall.

Depends on the location of the gym. My /uni/ gym is best between 7am and 11am. 4pm to 7pm is the worst time.
I usually go around midday and just use machines and dumbbells to do arms.

>>34566823
I honestly don't think most girls care if you have a belly as long as you've got nice arms and chest.

This is gonna sound like bait to some but i forgot i used to regularly come to this board and thought I was a robot and shit

That was about 5 years ago now. First I sorted my diet, counting calories with myfitnesspal. Got skinny, down from chubby beta looking moobs mode. Skinny sucks too though so I started lifting. Fuck the details but I got very into it (as you will, it feels amazing and the resaults are life changing)

before I was a total fag. weak pussy beta who never got laid. Now ive got a GF and don't come to r9k anymore, except right now cos im waiting on overwatch updating.

tldr I went from 170 with moobs at 6 2 to 200 with (very barely visable) abs and my life is immeasurably better

>>34566794
May Kek bless your goals.
When I started I could barely do 3 push ups, I shit you not. I just kept doing a little bit more than I did the previous day and eventually joined the gym with the same principle. I didn't even pay attention to what weight I was using. Not the best way to go about it but thats what I did.
Haven't been to the gym since I started working desu tho and thats bad.

I started off skinnyfat and then went full starvation-mode until I was just a skelly, Started lifting and eating again for about four months now. Not maxbulking or anything like that, I mainly just eat chickena and rice and that.

I'm planning on hitting up the gym in a few days since i've quit my job and have a lot more free time to better myself, but i've got a few questions to you niggas who made it:

>How often a day should I go to the gym a day and how many times a week
>How long did it take it to get results? Of course not bulging muscle tier but when you can see you've got that upper arm strength
>What are the big things I shouldn't do at the gym to avoid looking like an idiot?
>Should I be worried about others staring at me?

>>34563996
This. It isn't worth it. All that happens is more normies give you attention (bother you).

>>34571856

Go to the gym once a day if you have lots of time, but work different muscles each time. Leave a day or two between exercising the same muscles.

It takes maybe 3-6 months for results other people will notice, but after a month or so you'll definitely feel yourself getting stronger.

Don't be afraid to ask people for help, follow the damn instructions on the machines. Just because you think something works a certain way doesn't mean it does.

No.

>>34563954

I started going to the gym about 4 years ago, been taking it seriously for 3 years. I'm 6'4 and was pretty out of shape but I found it fairly easy to shed off the little bit of fat that I had, after I reached skinnymode the real struggle started, trying to build muscle. As someone who is tall, my calorie demand is much higher than the average person, so building muscle takes much more food to produce results.

After I leaned how to eat properly for my body type I started growing like a weed and fell in love with the gym and my body. It really did change my life, staceys would notice me and compliment my physique and people just generally responded better to me after I got /fit/. I got a high paying job which I was under qualified for but the boss "had a good feeling" about me. This new found confidence had landed me a job I never In my wildest dreams thought I could do.

So in short, being /fit/ gave me the following:
>extreme boost in confidence
>sex with 9/10 staceys
>high paying job I'm still not qualified for
>people treat me like an alpha

It's not a meme robots, being /fit/ will greatly improve your life and mental health

Honestly I lift because I enjoy it. People who don't are generally useless and their opinions should be discarded. In a perfect world they would be rounded up, grounded and fed to us lifters in a paste for the protein and nutrients.

>>34574149
Its the only thing I enjoy desu. And I don't even enjoy it. Everything else and life seems like a futile effort towards improvement. Pretty sure I'm retarded or something. I've tried time and time again to improve socially with people to no avail. With lifting though the results are tangible. I can see the results of my actions week by week. It makes me feel like I'm progressing in life. Of course I'm not like. Its all shallow, its pretty much pointless as well. But the illusion of worth is nice

>>34574234
You look grotesque.

What I hate about weightlifters is that they are assholes without a soul.

It's why I admire Mishima-san so fucking much. He preached both strength of mind and spiritual/intellectual strength. The perfect balance between the sun and the steel.

I aspire to live by his code.

You're probably fat or a stick. You're pathetic and again your opinions are invalid kys my man

>>34574396
I get that you want to look all swollen and bloated, but at least fix your Donald Duck posture.

Lifting makes you entitled to a gf. If and when you have Zyzz-tier aesthetics, you can say *anything* to a roastie and get away with it.

True robots do not lift. Time spent on gym is time spent away from r9k, vidya and anime. Also, lifting guarantees you a gf.

I went to an army base and tried to incite the soldiers to commit a coup and restore the emperor to power. that didn't go over so well and the soldiers all just laughed at me so I tried to commit seppuku and had my lover (male) cut off my head. but he was the "bottom" and I was the "top" in the relationship so he wasn't man enough to do it and instead he just inflicted several painful wounds on me. finally someone else cut my head off and now i'm dead.

Of course your lifts will suck after 5 months. If you only had to lift consistently for 5 months to have "impressive" lifts, then they wouldn't be impressive.

I know that, but I'm still surprised that I haven't gained any aesthetics while these guys say you can get moderate gains in 2 months

"moderate" gains is so subjective. I'm sure if had taken pictures before you started training and compared them now you could see a difference. If you're just looking at yourself now and flexing like a madman without any comparison then it's not surprising that you claim there hasn't been any progress.

Also, even guys with legit genetics don't see actual progress in short time periods. The majority of noob gains are neurological adaptations to begin with.
