I lift and fight and both CAN come hand-in-hand

however If you have to chose:
Being fit is an everyday benefit but being strong can make a big difference at several occasion

You'll be mired for being aesthetic all day long but If you can show your strength on a certain occasion you'll get tons of mires as well.

Is this even a question? God tier aesthetics... no question about it.

I gotta be honest, when I see a lot of these "strongmen" types that can deadlift 300 lbs or whatever, they usually just look fat. My uncle was like that and died in his fifties from heart complications.

If the goal is just to be strong for it's own sake, you've been born into the wrong time period. It serves no real purpose, and even if you were in the military you wouldn't be in ideal shape for combat or drills (which rely on endurance).

The whole reason I lift is to increase my overall health and longevity. I look in the process, but I'm not trying to end up like Hulk Hogan because those guys have all sorts of fucked up health problems when they get older.

Its not about lifting to do anything useful.
Just like most people lift for vanity,
lifting for strength is just fucking fun and fulfilling.

>300 lbs deadlift
>strong

Also the rest of your post reeks of A1 faggotry. You've done some mental gymnastics to justify your lack of gains. If you're natty you don't have to worry.

This. But be able to look like I lift from non-nude too.

>>37495469
that depends

do you mean I superman strong, like I can throw cars and shit, or do you mean squat 800 pounds strong

because if I can't throw cars then I'd rather look like a god

I rather have aesthetics.
