Are you the only lifter in your circle of friends? Or is your whole group into fitness?
Almost all the guys in my core group are into working out for health and strength, and most of the girls enjoy fitness in some capacity. There a couple outliers or people who don't train regularly but for the most part Id say our group is fairly fit.
>>36984164
>your circle of friends
>friends
the only one who notices my gains is my mom and she tells me to stop getting fat
Well /fit/ is my group of friends. So no.
>>36984164
Yeah, and they all get insecure when their girls say shit like 'you look good... in this' the first time they see me and then they limit contact with me pretending they never have time when I want to meet up. Fuck those cunts.
>having friends
lol
I don't have any friends.
My girlfriend is into weightlifting with me, the rest of our circle of friends walk 5ks and do nonsense. She's a 1st year med student, and so are many of them. When they were studying muscle anatomy in their study group over at our place, I sat in and patronizingly answered all their quiz questions they struggled with and said, "You guys are supposed to become doctors, right?"

>>36984164
All my friends are DYEL
>ones DYEL and practices taekwondo
>one is DYEL but recently got really fat
>one is just fat
>one is just DYEL
Yet they ask how I got so big they just look at me and say it doesnt make any sense and "that cant be good for you"
You gotta eat big to get big COME ON
>>36984164
>tfw humanities student
I only have one friend who is into fitness, but we make fun of all the rest of them pretty much all the time. However, sometimes it gets a little depressing spending so much time with people who get winded on bikerides or climbing a couple flights of stairs.
>>36984508
W-w-wow anon you really said that? You are too cool.
>>36984164
i am the only one
>>36984164
My friends got me into fitness so yeah
>>36984164
I live with four of my friends. Three of them go to the gym with me. We're all consistent and on diets for maximum gains. It's pretty wonderful.
>>36984164
>best friend is into powerlifting
>2 other close friends into gymnastics/at least staying kinda fit
>all my Medfag and other friends at least into normie health
>gf into eating healthy and since a while also cardio
I guess so, then again all my friends are educated at uni level so it comes natural that people care about their health enough to not eat themselves to death.
>>36984164
>your circle of friends
>implying i had friends
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
;_;
Only one guy, he is a powerlifter, that fucker introduced my to /fit/ Last year he went to the army and I'm lifting since then.
>>36984164
I lift with my gf and one of my bros but other than them, everyone is dyel or fat.
>>36984164
i was the non fitness guy in my friend group. now i lift the most and am the only one who doesnt do brosplits. id never tell them i learn shit from 4chan though. thanks for the gains fellas you made me not the worst person in my circle
I only have 3 left (who all dislike each other) and only 1 of them lifts. He is massive as fuck, though.
>>36984164
Not the only one but a lot of my friends have been swayed from the iron path of allah
>want to get jacked
>ask friends for help
>gymbro a and gymbro b
>sign up to their gym with them
>show how to bench
>show how to deadlift
>show me how squat
>show me how to ohp
>give me a basic beginner routine
>gymbro a goes to japan for a semester
>he falls from the path of iron gains for jappy pussy and beer
>gymbro b spots like a gains goblin
>start lifting alone
>start lifting harder
>take only a single break day within 3 months
>gymbro b becomes treasurer of dance club
>gymbro b starts to audition for dances instead of getting swole
>gymbro b has fallen from the path
>8 months later
>my arms are swole
>my legs are swole
>i am swole
>my friends are small
i became the only lifter in my group of friends
they are stereotypical nu-males into vidya, television, and super hero films. modern '''''''nerd''''' culture.
eventually we become so different in our rituals, activities, and goals that the friendship dwindled away
i wanted to hang out as they were my close friends for many years, but i dont feel like 420 blazing it stuffing myself full of beer, snack cakes, and pizza every night while playing old gamecube video games
of course you can make room for it, but they dont feel like budging and are content. rather than shame them, i let them enjoy themselves and do my own thing.
there was even a jealously when we would actually go out to do something, i'd get mired and of course they wouldn't. so the invites to go anywhere with them started getting less and less.
i'm happy now doing my own thing and i hope they are as well.
>>36984971
I feel your pain, brah.
>Best m8 and I are auschwitz mode as fuck back in the day
>Begin our quest for gains together at 16 years old
>He always lifted way harder than me
>More consistently than me
>He was the beast of gains
>Within 18 months, I was barely pushing otter and he was fucking jacked Brando-tier
>Fast forward 6 years
>I'm finally making it
>He's been lazy about it for a good while now
>Fallen in with 420 blaze it crew
>Doing my damndest to pull him out of it, inspire him and keep him on the true path
>Not working
>He slips further away every day
What can I do, brehs?
>>36984164
only heavy lifter.
got a couple of cardiofriends tho (lo int runners, etc)
I've pulled four of my friend group into strength training or fitness in some capacity. Even the pussywhipped bitch with back issues that can't skwat or didlef has dropped the chica for more gains.
>>36984366
I'll be your friend m8
yes i was the only one , i stopped talking to them because they were talking behind my back. I could see it in their face , you know , when they have that smirk when they meet you instead of a warm friend tier smile. Fuck them. Im looking for jacked friends but i lift during AM so only middle aged or old people in the gym.
My whole circle is nothing but a bunch of gamers really. Some fat, some skinny fat.
I was a skinny fat that was sick of it and started lifting. After they saw what progress I made in a couple of months they all started.
We still vidya all the time, but follow a tight schedule working out.
>>36984164
>implying I have friends
Most people I know are DYEL as fuck.
more sexy caitlyn pls
>>36984164
> tfw studying abroad
> tfw finally made some friends
> tfw have to move to another country again for internship
> tfw no friends again and nobody speaks English
just kill me
>>36985415
You get Iris
OP here, yea I guess Im fortunate cause my friend circle is fairly large and only a few people aren't into lifting. Most of the group though doesn't care much about aesthetics for function and strength. My one buddy pushing a 500 deadlift and overall a pretty strong guy just looks entirely average and has a bit of a belly. I have one friend into crossfit now and he's been on the path from obese to jacked over the past while...easily my most consistent and dedicated friend. Regardless, it's very cool to be able to talk fitness and stuff with the majority of my friends.
My oldest buddy though still doesn't get it, we've been friends for 15 years now and the guy still refuses to train, content to just drink pop and play games. His whole view of fitness still seems to be viewing it from the scope of "Why do I need big biceps to enjoy myself" when we're all very vocal and honest about the different approaches and facets to fitness, yoga, parkour, martial arts, lifting, cardio, dance w.e
All my friend group are skinny fat nerds that just play vidya or watch anime all day.
Feels bad being the only lifter, don't really have much to talk to them about other than college stuff.
>>36984164
I'm the only one.
Most of my friends are slightly chubby, or skinnyfat at best. It actually is great for my self esteem because I don't even have to push myself to be the fittest in my group
>>36984164
I left most of my friends behind because they were toxic
Just focusing on myself right now
Have one bro who used to lift though
>>36984508
You must've really impressed them by being an asshole to them.
"Sh-Sh-shouldn't you g-g-g-guys know th-this?"
>>36984164
No, all my friends are fat or skelly, despite my prodding. I blame myself for never making swole friends at the gym.
>>36984164
Best friend from highschool also lifts and we talk about it on occasion.
One of my friends from uni does a fuckload of cardio and endurance training, but absolutely zero strength training. The rest of them are DYEL lanklets.
My friends got me into lifting. They lifted for girls meanwhile i already had a gf.
They got their gf's and just kind of run once every 2 weeks or play a pickup game of volley ball or bball.
Im the only one who got into serious lifting.
>>36984164
nah got a sick liftan buddy
dude cured me of going full r9k school shooter
>>36984164
Out of the closest 6 friends we have about 5 of us do either lifting or calisthenics. The 6th one just smokes a lot of weed. Two do calisthenics, two do bodybuilder style and I'm the powerlifter of the group.
>best friend is former fatass who recently lost about 80 pounds and going strong
>one is dyel who eats fairly well and goes to the gym casually
>one is a fatfuck who gets high af 24/7 (smokes weed every couple hours) goes to the gym every other day to spend 5 minutes doing a few reps on random machines before vaping more or riding the high from an edible in the steam room
I really need to drop him but he buys my friendship with weed and it's pathetic for both of us at this point

fuck its times like these i wanna just make a /fit/ skype chat or something and we can all just share gains and compliment eachother.
>>36990498
do it bro, or like a tinychat, we can mire each other
>>36990573
doesnt even have to be video chat, just a chat like kik..
Just something to check every once in awhile and put spirits up.
>>36990498
Id be down to start a mini community on fb or skype with people.
>>36984949
Why do they dislike each other ? My friends rarely see each other because they are all from different places/studies etc. But when they do meet they always get along great cause they're the kind if chill people I chose to be my friends.
>>36985091
let him know he aint no sickcunt no more. he just some sidecunt pussy

EU fag here, I'm in genetics.. nobody lifts here in the whole institute
>>36992512
Fuark. There was a math prof at my alma mater that used to powerlift but I've never seen him in the uni gym. I should've talked more to him.

Lol 2016 still having a circle of friends.

You sound like the biggest cunt around.

i have 2 friends total.
both of them are jacked ripped, i'm skinnyfat but slowly improving.

My wife is a former ballet dancer, she stays very fit. Most of my family is not fit, except for my uncle who even though he has heart problems (genetically) and leukemia, still walks around like a fucking tank at 70 years old and still runs and cycles a lot.
Most of my friends are not really fit, most of them are around 30 years old and starting to slowly go downhill. I've always been quite fit, I haven't gained a lot of muscle over the last 2 or 3 years, but every time I'm at a birthday my friends will say "you look bigger/more muscled". It's sad that I'm considered most fit in my peer group not because I'm improving, but because others are fading.
I try not to be a dick about it and try to get people into a more active lifestyle. This has worked with my parents so far, both my mom and dad are now working out 2-3 times a week, both are over 60 years old.
My dad told me last week "I see all my friends getting sick, fat, unhealthy and unhappy. I want to live to be 100 and do so in a fit way".
So that's basically it.
>>36994155
I agree, phrases like "patronizingly answered" will be something you will look back on with regret when she becomes a doctor and sees that you are a complete and utter dickhead and tells you to fuck off. You, no doubt, will still be posting total shite on /fit/.
>>36984164
I sort of bounce around between a couple of different circles and I swear I'm the only one who lifts.
Some of my mates are probably stronger than me and well able for it but are just lazy cunts.
>>36985852
>tfw you can't stop using tfw
>tfw it starts irritating me
>circle of friends
I have no real friends, just people I still talk to every now and again. I got one of them into lifting, I hope he makes it.
>>36990498
nah, I think the anonymity and distance we have on here is ideal. There's a reason a lot of us have no friends, a lot of us are pretty shitty people.
In my circle or squad, one guy lifts with me, another is doing work with a personal trainer atm, a chick in the group doesn't anymore but that's moreso due to a lack of money, one guy does calisthenics, the others are skinnyfat
>>36990498
Im all for a /fit/ discord channel where we play games and talk.
Only miserable 16-22 year olds allowed though
>been lifting for a good 10 years now (26)

> all getting big and looking good
> one of them told me like 2 weeks ago that all he has achieved is thanks to me
> feelsgood.jpg

Cool part about all being fit is we do different activities every weekend and see who is the best
>>36994654
You seem like a stand up guy, anon. Good for you and your bros.
>>36984164
only guy I talk to is online and I'm trying to get him to stop masturbating and doing drugs before I try to get him exercising. I don't think it will ever happen and he probably thinks I'm joking too
>>36994654
You're pretty good
>>36984164
Yup. I discovered sports and fitness fairly late (19 or 20, can't remember), and before that I played games constantly, and all of my friends were nerds. I don't mean this negatively, I still do nerdy stuff, but fitness takes a huge part of my life now. The only thing I dislike about them is their "I'll exercise tomorrow" attitude, and they never do, or how they say I'm obsessed with fitness when I see it as dedication.
>gf lifts with me regularly
>do fun activities like hiking and biking when the weather is nice
>couple of cool guys at my gym I'm friendly with
>outside of that other friends from the area are reasonably fit, mostly do cardio
>friends from back home are the same way
Was but not anymore. When they saw me getting results they started when before they used to mock me for it. Feels good
