ew, that sounds like it takes work. what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>34802579
Because I don't give a shit and can get girls anyway.

>>34802579
>those eyebrows

girls need to stop doing this

I just started again last week. Gonna try to go to the gym 3+ times every week. I'm just a skinny fuck and I know I would feel better if I had some muscle

>>34802579
I am paraplegic.

Because being a skelly with a model tier face like myself adds to the aesthetic and gets girls wet anyway

>eat maybe 600 calories a day
>already got a pretty deep voice, so don't need extra test
>leave house maybe once a month
I don't think it's right for me

>>34802579
I do but it doesn't make me happier

>>34802681

>>34802713

He probably means 1600, that's about what I get. Lanklets just don't have much appetite and it's plenty if you don't really do much.

I do but I have 2nd place tier genetics so it doesn't really matter what I do with my time.

I'm average-looking and I have red hair. The only purpose exercise can serve is keeping me healthy.

But i do, senpai. 3-4 split.

>literally no excuse not to unless you're a paraplegic
True.

No. You'll still have to have at least one other factor going for you, mostly big dick or $$$.
>can increase your test
True.
>makes you mentally clear

>creates discipline

>makes you happy
True. Also makes you addicted to lifting.

Remember kids, no pain, no gain.

I weigh 320 pounds. Stairs make me breath heavy. I'm poor. My life is a mess. I cant.

I hate the feeling of strain and fatigue in my upper body so I can't stay motivated.

Legs and cardio I can do all day though.

because i have seriously no idea where to start

i'm 1,94 meters and skinny as fuck and i dont know what to do

>>34802579

Usually I get really into it for a few months until it slowly dies out

In other words, it gets boring after a while and I don't really feel any different mentally

>>34802749
No I only eat like 600-800

>>34802812
Whole body aka compound excercises until you have a decent core strength, then continue with split training.
If you have bro to go to the gym with, do so. Also remember, to get big you have to eat big.

I used to lift then I travel for 2-3 weeks then lose gains that I worked months for.

it's not worth it.

I am not convinced.
Got more results just running, especially on the happiness side.

>>34802832

Are you really small? I'm usually sitting around 17+/-0.3 bmi and I can't imagine cutting my energy by half. Even if you were a full 2' shorter than me I'd imagine that's not enough.

that;s just straight up stupidity. If you're working out, you can cut that number in half. Four-hundred calories is severely malnourished.

>>34802899
lift to build muscle run to burn fat
maybe add some more sets when u lift so u feel the burn more good luck friend :)

I used to 5-6 days a week but now I do light lifts 3 times a week and do cardio 6 days a week. It just feels better.

>>34802964
What split do you do and what's your fav excercise?

>>34802899
What is your routine? Sets, reps, weight? Same thing every day? How many calories are you eating?

>>34802852
>If you have bro to go to the gym with, do so. Also remember, to get big you have to eat big.
what if I don't have a bro to go to the gym with? What then?

I want to gain weight but everyone tells me I can't do it on my own

>>34802579

>>34802786

Think of post-workout soreness this way; that pain is literally torn muscles, and your goal for the day becomes to eat as much protein as possible to fill the tears and minimize/eliminate the pain by tomorrow

Also,
>I don't know where to start!
>implying you can't gave a solidly chaddy body from just push-ups

Some days I'll do push ups, pull ups, and sit ups but most of the time I just push. Rarely I'll do dumbbell exercises. Just do push ups, robots

>>34803075
>What then?
Do it alone. I'm currently going alone because college and exams suck ass.
Keep to machines, they are better for the start, especially if you want to train your chest.

>I want to gain weight but everyone tells me I can't do it on my own
Bullshit. There's a lot of decent starter programms for beginners on YT and /fit/.

my upper body strength is so pathetic that i'm embarrassed to lift at the gym i signed up to where all the guys look really fit and strong.

>lift 3 days a week
>sport 2 days a week

Been over this a billion times but I'll reiterate once again because people don't seem to get it.

I'm a average build, and lifting will not save me from:

>Balding at 21
>Fucked teeth
>Pizza face acne
>Shity face structure (Lack of definition, baby face)
>Big nose/ears
>Assymmetrical eyes
>Phimosis
>4 inch dick (when hard)

It's over for me and my kin. Over. Done. Finito, finished. The /fit/ meme can't save me. Leave us alone.

is there much benefit to weight lifting if you're dieting, eating at a calorie deficit? does it burn significant calories? i assume i'm not going to build muscle and i need to diet for at least 6-7 months to get to a good weight.

>>34803199
Want to gain weight like a motherfucker? Eat lots of bread and drink lots of soda.

>>34802579
because i dont know how you fuckin normie

>>34803340

>literally no excuse not to unless you're a paraplegic
It involves me going out of my apartment, near people, to a gym, near other people, who are attractive, and judgemental.

Mostly the "going out of my apartment" is enough of a reason not to for me though.

>>34802579

I regret wasting so much time on it. I got a good physique but what's the point? It didn't make me happier and generally just bored me.

>>34803270
Eat your semen, it helps with balding. Take my word for it, I started balding but then I heard that drinking your semen helped. I didn't really have much to lose so I went for it. It works my friend.

I don't know how people can live their lives without working out. It's the first thing on my mind when I wake. It's one of the few things I look forward to on a daily basis. Fitness and hardcore music are my addiction and savior.

I'm not being judgemental of anyone's choices in life I just don't understand why people would deprive themselves of feeling great on a daily basis.

If you can leave the house daily and work out in public without getting shakey or slightly uncomfortable then you're a normie.

>>34803593
No, and let me explain why you're a blabbering mongeloid.

These threads always fascinate me because I've seen the lifting meme fail to work, first hand. My best friend since middle school (we became really good friends because everyone thought we were fucking horrifying) fell for the fit meme and started working out a few years ago. Now, he has a pretty legit six pack and is pretty muscular. However he still has yet to get pussy or even have a girl flirt with him. Want to know why? If your faced is fucked, then you're fucked, no exceptions. A girl will see your face before your abs, so if you give off a bad first impression by looking like the hunchback of Norte dame, then it's already over. It's all for naught.

>>34803019

lift to do everything, just run to feel good if you like it.

>>34803497
I don't know how people can live their lives without smoking shitloads of marijuana so maybe we're just different people with different addictions

>>34803688
You're damn right I'm bitter. It pains me that mouth-breathing simpletons like you are allowed to exist, free of charge on this planet. Feel free to off yourself at the nearest convienence, though with your intellect, I feel that natural selection will be making its rounds very soon.

>>34803199

Literally me, except I started a few months ago.

The best feeling in the world, in my opinion, is realizing you can add extra weight to the bar. It means that shit is paying off. Every work out after that is fun as hell.

>>34803822
Natural selection only affects the weak people like you. That cliche old saying survival of the fittest speaks true. Why don't you dust off your fedora and improve yourself?

I'm not making excuses, I've tried and it didn't have the desired effect for me. I actually lose muscle when I lift hard.

Lifting didn't make me happy.

Or a strong fat cart

I tried for 4 years on and off 2 years with a lot of dedication. Did finally get to non-pathetically-weak tier, then stopped gaining again so I gave up about a couple months ago. I thought about going back but I bet it would take months just to get back to where I was.

I think losing fat may have given you the impression that your muscles shrank.

Not sure about this one. I do enjoy the optimistic feeling you get after a hard session though.

It helps a bit, but definitely doesn't automatically make you disciplined, unless you mean for lifting exclusively.

This does not work. It has to be fats and protein. I didn't start gaining until I decreased my carbs. It's just empty water weight you'll lose overnight with a few drinks. Gomad is hard at first but can't be beat.

I did it for 3 years and i stopped enjoying it and gave up

>why aren't you lifting, anon?

Because fuck you, that's why.

>>34802579

Because it's pointless. Lifting is not going to fix any of the important physical issues that were caused by stunted growth during puberty like
>narrow shoulders
>narrow rib cage
>wide hips
>thin wrists and small feminine hands
>babyface
>small dick
All of the important traits can't be changed past adolescence.

Because diet is very important in bodybuilding and i'm so poor i can barely afford enough food to survive. I've tried lifting for like half a year and i saw no progress

>>34802579
not lifting yet but I'm doing strength workouts so I can get to that level, kinda hard to lift big when you're a skinnyfat

I have literally no equipment, and no money to get any. I know the vast majority of it is a meme but I ask of you, what can I do at home? I eat decently healthy but not great, (partly because live on foodstamps and partly because I am a sucker for good tasting quick and cheap mediocre food) but I lived as a shutin wasting away the majority of my life. Recently put on a little bit of weight but largely not muscle, ~125 at 5'7. What are some thing I can do at home to get fitter?

>>34806099

This is blatantly false, even the briefest time on Google scholar will show you're full of shit. It's not magic, quantum mechanics, or discipline. If you inject low dose testosterone you will gain more muscle and lose more fat than someone eating clean and training daily. If you lift twice a week you will gain very close to what a three and four times a week group achieve. Even keeping the weight gained isn't anything fancy. I'm not a gym autist anymore but lost no more than 15lbs while doing nothing more than a couple sets of pushups and pistol squats every few days and switching to Telmisartan for blood pressure. The Telmisartan is fascinating in that it retains muscle mass even in rats where the muscles mere rendered flaccid. Control rats lost as much mass as you'd expect from no muscle tone.

Twice a week for 45 minutes each session on a beginner program like sl or ss will quickly put weight on someone as long as they increase their daily energy by 200ish kcal. Optimization is fun to sperg out over, but more for reading because any gains from it are so minimal it is better to just spend the time lifting.

>>34806208
it's not going to fix your peckah but it's going to improve about everything else. so if you're already horribly deformed you can look average.

>>34806224
chicken, rice, broccoli, peanut butter, lentils
all cheap in bulk friendo. do what you want but my gains didn't show until the year and half in.

I have an attractive face and nice hair, so I would rather not expend the extra effort.

>>34802579
>can make you attractive enough so girls won't really care about your ugly face

Girls care about height, face, and frame. An ugly manlet with narrow shoulders will stay a virgin no matter how much he lifts. This is where the term Gymcel comes from.

>>34806599
>>34806601
You 2 need to realize a lot of people do it for fun.
You know some of us actually enjoy doing it. The fringe benefits are niec but its not the main reason.

>>34806443
>it's not going to fix your peckah but it's going to improve about everything else. so if you're already horribly deformed you can look average.

No it won't. Face, height, frame and dick size are all that matter for appearance. If you don't have those on your side then you've already lost.

>>34802579
Weight training is boring. Go outside and play. It's free.

>>34807530

Clothes, muscle, and fat are also important for appearance. It's silly to say only three things matter and ignore the other half of appearance.

>>34802579
Won't make my dick bigger. I stopped lifting after I realized I will always be a dicklet

>>34802579

I honestly want to, I really really want to but the problem is I have no fats to even make muscles. I'm a freaking skeletal. I weight 120 pounds, how the fuck would lifting a bunch of weights help me?

I wish I could get fatter but the food I eat just kind of disappears.

>>34807735

If you're not fat and you still look like shit (short, narrow shoulders, wide hips, thin bones, babyface, etc) then there's no point in becoming a gymcel, it's not going to fix the fundamental problems of you body.

>>34802579
