yes, never admit you work out if you can help it, normies are clueless and it makes it awkward for everyone who does admit it which is pretty funny
>>
>>37228067
lmao no you haven't, not without gear and not without serious weight training

you've put on at most 20lbs with a perfect diet and good routine, and 20 lbs of fat, i 100% guarantee it. and that's only if it's your first year working out.
>>
>>37228067
nice bait
>>
>>37228067
40 poons of muscle eh?
>>

People like that don't want advice, they just want a /fit/ guy to reaffirm their beliefs.

I don't understand why you would lie about something so trivial

Ok maybe ive put on 35lb of muscle and 5lb fat. My bf% 1 month ago was 8.6% and it was only lower than that before i started working out hard

Good god, why do I see this awful advice posted on /fit/ so often?

Don't do this. You might think you're being cool, but false modesty is a woman's game. You will end up looking like an autist.

There's nothing wrong with casually admitting you hit the gym sometimes, just don't go into detail about your routine and you will be fine.
>>

Because engaging in conversation makes them spill their spaghetti

I have an ex fat friend that literally made it thanks to /fit/. Problem is he doesn't get as much pussy as he would like because he literally acts in the way that 4chan thinks Chad is like. It's hilarious, I never made the connection before.

>>37228168
>implying
>>
>>37228114

I think a lot of people on this board are recovering weebs/autists, so they still see the gym as being the congregation place for meatheads and Chads. Afraid that they might lose some of their "geek cred", they think it's better to deny the fact that they take part in an activity that the guys who used to beat them up in high-school did almost exclusively.
>>
>>37228182
Probably not a good idea (financial advisor at a well known corporation/earn lots of money ((especially for my age)))
>>
>>37228216
I assumed its because normans don't know a thing about fitness, so talking about it is pointless.

that's why I don't ever talk about it unless im asked. some people have serious insecurities kek
>>
>>37228233
I just tell em i lift weights. If they are interested then ill go more in depth oand if not ill leave it that
>>
>>37228233

Then don't talk about it ad nauseam?

Good idea: Telling a girl you go to the gym "sometimes" when she asks.

Bad idea: Telling a girl about your 8 hour arm workout and your secret crush on Jason Blaha when she asks.

I don't understand why calorie counting is like normie-repellent. It's like people can't comprehend the idea that you're not supposed to eat everything in sight simply because it's edible.
>>
>>37227075
i started a new job and have mentioned it a few times, but only in response to questions about my day, like what i did before going into work that morning, etc. one person i work with trains martial arts and we swapped preferences on whey/postworkout shakes. truthfully, i would like to talk about it more with people, but i don't want to be that guy who shoves his passion in people's disinterested faces. it's pretty rapey

you're the equivalent to being the only out-of-the-closet homo at work. or the only minority in an office of crackers. people are fascinated by what they've never encountered in their sheltered lives. or maybe you're just a big, swole, dicking sucking darkie.

lmao you severely overestimate how good the average person is at detecting a lie. if you're 220 lbs 9% bf then obviously nobody is going to believe you if you say you just do cardio and pushups. if you just look strong and fairly muscular (i.e. a natty lifter), you can say you try to work out once a week when you can, but don't like doing it and regularly forget. they will relate to this and put down your gains to just good genetics, which is infinitely better than being viewed as a "gym rat"

you've got to remember a lot of people here lift 6+ hours a week and it's their main hobby, if they're honest about that normies will think they're a meathead with no life. it doesn't matter if it's not true, that is what they will think and it reflects badly on you.

>>37233810
People like you are so fucking autistic. What country do you live in where being seen as a gymrat is bad? Australia has such a big gym culture in my age bracket that you'd probably get looked down on if you don't work out. Get a better country
>>
>>37233810
I'm an argentinan med student, people here are skinny and short as fuck, theres absolutely no gym culture like in Australia and me and buds lift 6 hours a week if not a bit more and absolutely noone has ever said anything negative about this
