>"i'm going to start lifting so i can get girls to notice me"
>he starts lifting
>girls still not interested
>"nah bro i don't lift for girls, I lift for myself"
this is what happens to the guys who fall for the lifting meme
Should I still start lifting if I genuinely just want to get stronger?
Women don't care about muscles, they care about money
Hoard money and outwardly show a rich lifestyle (even if you ain't) and they will flock like flies on shit
>>34686354
Go for it, you can gain incomparably more than you can lose by lifting
I actually want to start lifting for myself so I can stand my own in a potential fight and feel better about myself, but I'm too lazy to start
>>34686448
Lifting gets alot easier after you break the ice anon, you'll do yourself a great favor by going to the gym
>>34686513
>going to the gym
You mean I can't just do it at home? Fuck that.
>>34686549
I assumed you were too lazy to haul your ass from the basement my man
>>34686513
Thanks, I'm gonna see if any of my job applications get accepted and if I have to move. I'd definetly start then, I just don't want to drive to the next big city for about an hour just to lift.
>>34686604
Goodluck anon. Let me give you two tips that i wish i knew when I began lifting: Nobody at the will give a single fuck about you unless you do some dumb shit. Also write everything down to keep track of your progress
>>34686322
Now imagine if these guys were flabby instead of ripped.
They would go from a solid 6 to a 4.
This is the only saying I try to follow in my life.
" Do what you can , with what you have . "
Sour grapes is better than nothing to eat at all.

>Sour grapes is better than nothing to eat at all.
lmao that makes so fucking little sense god i laughed so hard
>>34686903
Are you retarded? It actually makes sense. If you had to choose would you rather be a 4 or a 6?
>>34686322
does it matter though in the end. its not like you lose anything by going to the gym for 45 minutes a day 4-5 days a week
>>34686903
Maybe it doesnt make sense if your brain is full of sperm.
>>34686354
>should I get stronger if I want to get stronger
Are you retarded?
>>34688032
Well I'm more confused as to whether it's (that is, lifting barbells) the most effective strength exercise or if it's more geared toward vanity. A lot of these /fit/ types don't seem particularly strong in practice.
>>34688120
I ran track, lift weights now, go camping, ect
Yes, lifting weights will make you stronger, like any resistance training. It is just that that is all it does pretty much. Don't expect cardio gains. You would have to do cardio for that. Honestly there are so many physiological benefits and feeling strong is amazing
t. some faggot who picks things up and puts them back down repeatedly
>>34688120
It depends on what you end up doing with it. Certain acrobatics and body-weight exercises would be very difficult for them to do. On the other hand, someone who trains for those movements would very likely get out-lifted by the weightlifters in traditional bodybuilding lifts. In the end, you don't really need much strength in your day to day life, so unless you're looking to compete in a particular area, you'll be fine with most any exercise that involves resistance.
what about body weight training? Push ups, sit ups, etc... I'm not looking to get big or even very strong.
>>34688173
Do both .
I used to be a cardiobunny but I couldnt run long distances without stopping once in a while because my whole body from the waist up would start falling apart. Strength training fixed that .
>>34688366
Buy a pull up bar you can attach to a door frame and a dipping bar.
Nah. I mean I can imagine it to go like this for many guys, but my story goes like this:
>start lifting in 2012
>look fit by 2014
>have steady stream of pussy, few fuck buddies atm.
>honestly lift now because I don't want to spend a lot of time in doctors waiting rooms when I'm 50
so there you go
PS if you have a nice face and are not afraid of making movies on girls, you'll eventually get laid. being fit is a meme, it only gives confidence and yes, some girls fetishize it. it's just a bonus, like height. Whereas confidence and a face you can show around isn't just a bonus
Face is everything for men
>>34686861
tbf they just created a contrast between their face and their bodies
not the ugliness is more noticeable
>>34686322
you have 10 minutes to prove that all of those guys dont get laid regularly
read "convict conditioning". literally its all you need. fuck the gym and fuck weights.
>>34686322
the truth is the majority of women don't want a lifter's body, they want a swimmers body, lean, toned, but not overbearing and veiny, alsodon't be unattractive like the guys in OP
>>34686395
This all women are hookers.
>He thinks that the only benefit to proper nutrition and exercise is to increase his attractiveness to the other sex
>>34689844
>>honestly lift now because I don't want to spend a lot of time in doctors waiting rooms when I'm 50
Sure you do
>>34686322
>man progresses beyond worshipping women but continues to sculpt and strengthen his body and mind through the noble pursuit of strength training
What's the problem here?
>>34690337
So push up pull ups jumping jacks planks and dips?
Thats what I did in jail.
>>34686549
You can but you need space for a power rack, a free-standing bench, a barbell and plates.
>>34686322
The kid with glasses has a qt gf.
>>34686549
If you're being serious look into bodyweight fitness. With just a $20 door frame pullup bar and a good routine you can make progress. Look up the r/BodyweightFitness Recommended Routine.
/fit/ doxxed the guy who was second from the left on the top, and he actually has a pretty cute girlfriend.
They went full sperg rage.
>>34690289
lol OP failed
>>34686322
All of those guys have potential for gf's based on body alone and some have povided proof since they became a meme
>>34686395
Do you really want to be a wallet? This is what you can expect if you go the money route
>She's obviously not attracted and will never have more sex than is required to get a ring on her finger
>Once she has the ring it's just a matter of time before you're paying alimony
>>34686448
The first set is always the hardest, then it feels great. After 5 days of lifting, you take a rest day, and the morning after you see and feel the gains.
>>34686549
You can do it from home, the gym is an expensive meme. Buy some dumbbells and and use your body weight for the rest. Don't use 5-10 pound dumbbells either, they're good for nothing but cardio
>>34688173
This
>>34688366
Push-ups are more important but sit-ups are necessary if you want to build out of that recession between your groin and abdomen
>>34690347
The majority of women like looking at swimmer's bodies and getting fucked by lifter's bodies
So all I have to do is lift and do steroids and then I can fuck anyone's gf
>>34689844
>tfw this guy has a 10 inches cock a nice body and probably a nice face too
>i have none of these three
all i have is the internet, i wish i could reroll at life but i'm too lazy, lethargic and cowardly to kill myself
>>34690800
It's ok just remember that whites cant be robots and he's only on here to laugh at you and feel better about himself
>>34686433
What if somebody isn't safe about it or there's a freak accident, and has a permanent life-altering injury as a result of lifting?
>>34690347
Swimmer's body is still veiny, just not roided out veiny.
The real group that fully appreciates a the well sculpted muscular man is other men (of which includes faggots)
>>34690864
only face matters to women and penis size look at the bulge of that guy in 3rd pic
:^(
>>34686322
That's just it. Girls only start liking you in the gym after you turn gay from all the 'mirin
>tfw only focused on pec gains and now look imbalanced.
>>34686322
There is joy in lifting and being strong my friend. You should try it,
>>34686322
Its still better to lift than to become a fat fuck, it gives more confidence and helps with stress
>>34686322
Some of these guys have 10/10 physiques
That turbo nerd at the bottom in the glasses is amatuer bodybuilder competition ready
>>34686322
Op are you the version of yourself? No? Then fuck off you just trying to bring others down for laughs. Nothing worst then someone who does not try and fails and looks down on those who tried.
>>34691550
You grew tits, good job
>>34691832
Being fat is like lifting everyday
>>34691550
>pecs
>>34686322
I actually started lifting becuase I was picked on for being so tall and skinny.
Girls just come in your life when you start getting brolic
>>34690214
Not true. Sure every women would love a 10/10 face, but women usually compromise other traits on men. It's a trade off for women. He might not have the best looking face, but if he's over 6 foot, muscular, and doing well in life compared to a 5'9", 10/10 face, whose not doing the best financially, the first guy would win most of the time.
Men usually put more empashis on face attraction towards women becuase men love pretty face with a good body.
>>34690751
>actually giving her the ring
>not stringing her along for as long as possible getting as much sex as possible
>>34691550
r u a gril?
oregn
Height, face, bone structure, and penis size are all that matter when it comes to sexual attraction for women.
If you weren't blessed with good genes and upbringing, then there's nothing that can be done about it.
>>34686322
Dont talk yourself out of not being ugly
