Why doesn't the average American man lift anymore?
>>36829559
Because he'd rather eat cheeseburgers and watch the big game?
Eating shitty food is so normie nowadays.
>>36829559
Complacency with being mediocre is one of the reasons.
Seeing videos like this makes me really sad tho

What do you mean, anymore? The average man, worldwide, has never lifted. It's debatable that they've even tried and failed, let alone lifted for a good amount of time in their lives. This isn't new, anon.
I'd wager even the majority of people that come to /fit/ will (and have) fail within the first year of trying and never attempt again.
>Fat acceptance
Also murica is a clown nation. Just look at their candidates.

If anything more people lift now with crossfit shit than ever before

Grandpa Commie Cuck is the biggest clown of all
Culture that promotes mediocrity
Strength no longer an important factor in modern society
Sedentary lifestyles for some; active, non-lifting lifestyles for others (hiking, climbing, biking etc.)
>>36829855
people like to complain about the economy (even though it's been doing better, thanks Obama) and then accuse outliers (read: not the status quo) of "not understanding basic economics"
maybe the plebeian understanding of "basic economics" is completely wrong and laissez-faire capitalism might, just might have some flaws
>but the free market!
the free market is just a meme
I mean jesus christ people this is America in the year 2016 yet healthcare and education are considered *controversial* topics lmao just fucking lmao
>>36829559
Feminism has made masculinity evil
>>36829938
>cum on, its 2016
Know your place commie cuck, your kind is not welcome here. The only reason the free market is failing is because it is never actually free.
>>36829583
Jesuschrist. I wish such program existed when I was in high school.
>>36829938
I live in country with free healthcare and I rather pay a couple hundred euros for an instant visit to the doctor than first waiting in line 8 hours to see a nurse and then 2 weeks for a doctor. And despite not using that shitty service, I'm paying more than half of my salary taxes (when accounting the VAT).
Also, you're practically right about the free market being a meme, but you also don't seem to have a clue what the word means. It being a meme has nothing to do with it's effectiveness as a driving force for the westerns world.

Fat Acceptance is actually a minority group, surprisingly. It's much less common than /fit/ would have you believe. The average American is just a lazy motherfucker.
>>36829583
>bodyweight and cardio
>get shit on by this board
Because it serves no purpose.

This
The average man stayed in shape by doing physical labor and didn't have time for silly shit like going to gyms.
Most American men have bellies like pregnant woman. What went wrong?
The average American man never lifted. Lifting is a diet industry meme.
Zero motivation due to SJW and HAES nonsense.
>>36831575
Those movements are almost entirely for/comprised of women though
>>36829559
The meme that masculinity is toxic and redundant and all athletic people are meatheads has taken hold.
Less manual labor and more sitting at desks for 8 hours a day combined with an increase in fatty, sugary foods.
>>36832904
When I started lifting my goal was (and kind of still is) for people to assume I'm an idiot meathead when they see me. I used to be a skinny hipster bitchboy so it's quite the change.
>>36829559
Jews.
