>could aspire to achieve this
>nah, I'll dedicate all my time to lifting heavy things up and down
Why is this board so obsessed with boring lifting shit?
>>35559925
Because its not boring lifting shit to ME
Lifting heavy things up and down is a lot easier and doesn't take up much time.
>>35559925
Because the lifters bullied out all the other fit pastimes.

>Boring Lifting Shit
Lifting things and putting them down is fun when you like it, a oly lifter loves what he does, a gymnast will say the same, now go do your personal shit instead of comparing two different sports.
>>35559925
Why the fuck would i wanna do that? Why do i want to do anything? My God...
But I'm trying to get a CS degree and make a contribution to the field.
>>35559925
it's a cultural thing. Thing is if you attempt to suggest that fitness is something that isn't lifting barbells off the floor you will get yelled at on /fit/. And thats fine.
You just need to realize that /fit/ is 30% powerlifting 30% bodybuilding and 100% shitposting. And that's ok
I aspire to achieve this because I identify sexually as an attack helicopter.
you could dedicate all the time left in your life to that pursuit and you'd probably never reach a level of significance.
why do people ask dumb questions.
>>35559925
I'm too old and too fat to start doing this shit
>>35559925
In addition to what others have said, gymnastics destroys your body.
I have no desire to do that. I just want to look good and be able to defend myself.

In your experience, which of these happens more often?
A) "OP, could you help me move my new couch?"
B) "OP, can you grab those bike bars and spin your legs around real fast above your head?"
