I havent really read it but I think I know what it's going on about.

You shouldn't base your life around lifting, lifting is simply a pass time. If you have a choice between hanging with your mates or going for a workout you should always hang with your mates etc. It doesn't matter if you miss a workout or miss 2 workouts etc. Unless you are a proper fatty lifting is just a hobby. Don't waste your life lifting thinking it will give you a better life as its odds on that it won't

Blood testing or a more than usual amount of urine.

There isn't. Decathletes and sprinters need the extra musculature in order to generate their speed and power for their events. Yes, they're nowhere near bodybuilders in terms of muscle size, but to say the lanky dude is more athletic is dependent on the event itself, but largely nonsense

Because it's the idea of the muscles being "functional" beyond the task of picking things up and putting them down.

Not the OP you're replying to, but his point still stands that we're social animals. Yeah, there's a lot of things that we won't remember but building up a good social life is highly conducive to a fulfilled one. We all know that fitness is highly important too but the comparison that they are exactly the same (i.e. you can tade off one for the other) is mistaken. Again, you should always strive to be fit and healthy but I think deep down having a strong and healthy social life matters more to us.

1) Most of their readers are sedentary and range from skinnyfat to obeast, and hate anybody who's fit. Articles that hate on fit people help them pretend they're not disgusting.
2) Most of these click bait sites are filled with third wave feminazis and their cucked numale followers. As a result they hate anything masculine in the slightest. Considering a muscular man is one of the most visible displays of masculinity, they hate weightlifting the most.
3) Feminazis want to discourage activity so everybody is as fat and miserable as them. That way they'll feel less pathetic.

Holy shit why is anybody trying to fix a problem they have with them-self automatically "compensating for something".

I lift and workout because I spent more than 20 years of my life being lazy, physically unfit and I allowed that poor lifestyle to sneak into the other aspects of my personality.

I work out to teach myself discipline, to get a better and more healthy body, and to combat my depression. If trying to take responsibility for myself is somehow "compensating for something" then fine. But at least I'm doing something positive with my life (hopefully) rather than writing a shitty blog about people with more dedication than myself.

I don't care anymore. I know who I was before I started lifting and while I've only been at it around 4 months I know I don't want to stop because one day I'll look good but I'm already starting to feel a lot better.

I was 5'10 and 145 when I got back from a month long training op in Ft. Pickett VA in March, but I've just bee doing ship ops since then and got back up to 170 lifting on boat.

There are some holocaust survivor grunts out there though.

You should prioritize yourself. Work out if it's in your favour and skip a workout if it's in your favour. There's nothing superior or virtuous about always putting other people's whims before your own goals (that's a good way to make friends and girlfriends into gains goblins) - in fact some would say that your social worth is inversely proportional to how available you're perceived.

At the same time don't go the retarded cocoon -mode route and kid yourself that shunning all human interaction is going to help you emerge from your chrysalis as a fully formed alpha male "one day". Social interaction is practiced, improved and cemented through the act itself.

Bottom line is there are no rules: have the self confidence and conviction to weigh up the options and make a decision then and there using your intellect, not referring to some try-hard rule of thumb that is wrong as often as it is correct.

Sure, but why don't, say, artists or musicians get the same butthurt hyper-defensive passive aggressive reaction lifters and bodybuilders do?

>Oh, so you're a concert cellist? I could beat you in a fight, you know. Don't thknk you're tough, because you're not. If I threw a punch right now, could you counter it? Ha! No you couldn't! All those years training, for nothing.

>So I heard you draw photorealistic landscapes. That's cool. I used to be a photorealistic artist too, yeah, nah I don't have any pictures on me because it was a long time ago, but I was about as good as you. I gave it up though because I realised it had no application in my job as a furniture mover. Can you carry a couch up ten flights of stairs? Nah, didn't think so mate. You should incorporate furniture shifting into your routine, at the moment you're over-specializing mate.

>You're a mathematician? Oh. That's cool I guess. I don't like mathematicians myself. I bet you think math impresses girls, huh, well actually real women prefer men with average math skills. Peacocking your math qualifications is actually a real turn off. When me and my girlfriends see a mahematician across the bar we're all like "Oh my God, as if, what is he overcompensating for, like yuk, forreals". So, I'd never sleep with you. Just so you know. Ok, gotta go, thanks for the drink

Everyone has some bullshit insecurity, and some people are dickheaded enough to project that insecurity onto others. That's just how the world works. And this is compounded by the fact that people generally favor things from others that benefit them in some way, and things that don't benefit them get more negative labels (that's so vain, it's a waste of time, etc.)

Yeah that shit triggers me so hard. I am far from perfect. I'm a manlet and will always be a manlet. My hair is thinning and in a few years ill likely be rocking the jason statham haircut.

But the reality is that kind of shit is out of my control. All I can do is improve the parts of myself that I can control. That is my body and my mind.

But people swear i'm compensating for being a "balding manlet". But then I just assume they are compensating for the fact they know they could look better if they did what I do. And try to be the best version of myself. I'll never ever be that version of myself because I hope that I will always feel like I can improve myself - regardless if its something physical or mental.

They can sense it isn't natural, but it has the opposite effect you might think. They say it's "too muscular" when it's just a picture or they're with certain people, but when I was competing in BBing and juicing my brains out, I was well into the "too muscular" realm and grossly vascular, yet women were approaching me out on the street and offering to buy me drinks at bars. This was with women of all different 0-10 ratings, shapes, sizes, and races. On top of that, my face is average at best so that wasn't the deciding factor, and I'm only 5'10".

Their natural instincts tell them more test = more man. Sure, they can pick up on something being off, but their attraction to high androgen levels blows a fuse when they see roided up bodies and they just lose their minds.

Being fuck huge doesn't automatically mean confidence. Also, my experiences with hot girls during that time were really shit. They were super insecure and got all fired up about other girls. I'm not master of psychology or whatever, but they were pretty obviously into it just for a one and done type thing. They had no interest in dating someone who they felt they couldn't lock down.

So yeah, I hooked up with some bombshells but nothing ever became of it. My success in dating, actual long term stuff, with really attractive girls was better before/after my handful of years of bodybuilding.

Probably a byproduct of being in a college town, the culture is a little different in those. Generally, however, I stopped having to approach girls as they became the ones making the first moves.

It's clear now how society respects

Women want a person who is genetically good, much like men want a woman with good looks (indicative of good genetics.)

The only way to be attractive is to be born with natural testosterone, natural good height face and frame, born socially dominant and satisfied with yourself.

Your partner will dig at everything to determine if you are that. If you bodybuild, they want to see if it's just because you are a brainless boy who enjoys it, or if you are compensation for being low-quality. Those who become chads after being betas are basically those who can hide their beta-ness best.
>>
>>37458496
So what's your point?

Genetically perfect people are like 0.5% of the population, who actually fit all the criteria for "good genetics", not just let's say good jawline, but BAD fat distribution.

I can't fix my genetics, but I can fix things I can actually affect and work on.

Not all feminists are completely insane. Most just want realistic equality. These people realize there are certain aspects in which there will be never total gender equality because it's physically impossible.

Then there are the ones who want complete equality regardless of the fact that it's totally unrealistic. These are the type who are insistent on the idea that any woman can perform the same physical feats as any man.

And then there are the psychos who want total role reversal. These are the type who legitimately hate all men and will justify their hate of all men with some of the most batshit retarded mental gymnastics you have ever heard. They will repeatedly refute the idea of misandry while simultaneously stating that all men are misogynists. This group is the smallest sect of feminism, but they are by far the loudest and most attention-grabbing.

Equality is a meme, its the idea that men and women can be treated exactly the same and have the same standards across all aspects of life, which is retarded. We are not genderless beings which procreate by division. There will always be differences, differences mean different standards.

Equality is impossible.

This might have been said but can't be bothered reading through all this shit.

1. This "addiction" shit could be applied to ANYTHING. Alcohol is a good example - most people drink, most people aren't alcoholics. But it can be much more banal and boring. I saw a documentary once about a guy who spent over a grand a month on cleaning products for his shitty car.

2. No matter what anyone says, being well built is better than being Auschwitz mode or a fat-fuck. Why the fuck do people come out with shit like "look at the state of Piana, that just looks wrong!". Well yeah, most people would agree that's taking things a bit far, but using that as an excuse for not getting up off your fat/skinny ass is like saying "the Apollo missions were a bit risky" as an excuse not to drive to the next town.

TL;DR - Lifting makes you healthier and better looking. If you do gear, it won't kill you and will accelerate the process. Unless you're mentally ill, you'll be able to keep a handle on things.

But then you're also forgetting all the improvements his life will get from being healthier and stronger.

Life is not about lazingly sitting on a couch eating chips and drinking beer. I, for one, would feel SHAME if all I could remember at 80 was doing unproductive things.

Plus, having fun times is made much better if they're not constant. Also helps to have a body that can actually enjoy the fun times thoroughly.
