Is lifting a meme?
>>28311153
No, it's good for your body and girls will notice the effort you put into making your body into such a masterpiece, even if you have a weird face.
But let's be honest, it's rare that you have a face so ugly that even lifting doesn't do anything to help it. When you lift and gain muscle/lose fat, that shows in your face too. It's easier to see your cheekbones and the fat from your jaw disappears and makes it look more defined, even if it isn't Chad-esque.
>>28311153
No, it's not. The most attractive body is "Dad bod" though. Which means gain a bit of muscle, sure, but then be relaxed about it and don't fret over a little bit of belly and don't go all out ripped like this. All out ripped is a meme, Dad bod is not.
is this fake? he won a lot of money for this
>>28311230
>The most attractive body is "Dad bod" though.
In other words, men with naturally large/masculine bone structure that don't need to build a lot of muscle in a futile effort to compensate.
>>28311153
partially, you need a whole package
look at /fit/ they always have a >tfw no gf thread in a catalog
It makes you look better, which can help you attract women, and it makes you physically healthier.
If you're depressed because everything is pointless and nothing matters though, it won't fix that.
>tall with narrow shoulders and wide hips
I envy guys with a natural V shaped torso.
>>28311230
This, which is rarely said in /fit/ threads. Basically, just look like you're built like a man that can hold his own. Anything beyond that reaps minimal rewards.
>>28311319
>If you're depressed because everything is pointless and nothing matters though, it won't fix that.
oh ok then
>that top left guy
there is a polish saying: you can't make a whip from a shit
it's insane how hard you can train and still end up looking like a freak due to genetics
>>28311153
No, the act of picking something up and putting it down repeatedly to gain muscle mass is not a meme.
>>28311153
I'm gonna lift a little once I'm done on the 5k plan just to fix my flabby chest and tiny noodle arms.
Gonna cut back to maintenance when I hit a good weight for my height though.
I think girls have this weird induced cognitive bias where shredded dudes are totally unapproachable except by goddesses, and no one except trash girls think they're goddesses.
In a few months I'll c/d this for you guys before I have to stop posting.
>>28311153
>tfw you are in this pic
>all your hardwork and effort over 6 years of lifting is shadowed by your less than perfect facial structure
>every few days another thread pops up about how ugly you are despite lifting hard
and i never posted on /fit/ again.
I'm ugly and bald yet I've managed to pick up plenty of girls who like ripped guys
>>28311638
which one?
also post proof
Bottom middle has a great physique, his face is pretty average and if he got rid of the shitty glasses he'd be fine.
Top right has no problem with women I guarantee it.
>>28311239
No its real. There's qnother guy who won won a won a lot won a lot of money because he has no arms or legs but he's still ripped.
>>28311702
>who won won a won a lot won a lot of money
>>28311690
>Top right has no problem with women I guarantee it.
women thing aside, if this a professional photoshoot and his chin still looks like that, it's probably way worse irl

>I don't bother lifting because I have an ugly face
I've never understood this. Would you rather spend your life having an ugly face with an ugly body or an ugly face with an attractive body? It's not even a matter of attractiveness that makes it objectively better, being fit makes life easier.
>>28311749
Thanks, I've been looking for this again
>>28311230
>dad bod
>muscle
Yeah deadlifting all those six packs out of the fridge will give you lots of muscle
>>28311153
If you couldn't get women before you were /fit/, you won't get any after. Anyone who says they lift for any reason other than attracting/picking up chicks is lying to themselves.
>>28311811
>being fit makes life easier
health aside, what things exactly?
>>28311858
No, having a better body isn't all you need to get women, but it sure as hell helps. Also, I wasn't aware I was lying to myself, but thanks for the revelation.
>>28311858
Not true, I'm much more successful with women now that I am well built
Losing weight is important for attractiveness. Being fit helps.
I'm 30 now, so I also lift to save my back. Spending ours of your life in waiting rooms at the doctors is amongst the worst things.
Girls and health aside, the trained male body is a pleasure to look at.
It even feels good looking into the mirror and seeing some progress.
>>28311153
Some of these guys aren't bad looking.
>>28311811
Life isn't difficult because I'm not good at picking up heavy things, Life is difficult because I have no passion or social skills.
>>28311882
Ever done anything laborious in your life? Helped a friend move, lent a hand remodeling a family member's house? Ever stood up for yourself in a fight? It's not rocket science, having muscle mass equates these things in your favor. I do it to make my job easier, which includes a lot of heavy lifting.
>>28311892
>>28311912
You're probably decent looking and have decent social skills. If you're short, ugly, are a social retard, etc. being /fit/ won't do shit. If anything it will make you look more pathetic.
>>28311892
>>28311912
Did you read the whole post because you just proved his point you fucking autists.

>>28311941
So why not have a better body?
>>28311153
That guy with the glasses isn't ugly, it's just a bad photo. Someone posted another pic of him on here once and he looked full on normalfag.
>>28311960
What fucking point? Lifting is useless because I have bad social skills?
>>28311956
>If anything it will make you look more pathetic
Literally how? You're making absolutely no sense.
>>28311950
I have no friends
They can hire Mexican to do that
I'm short, so I'm still at a disadvantage when it comes to self protection
Hungry skelly with decent face and nice hair here (6'1", 150lbs)
I get laid quite a lot, but I know I would get laid much more if I had a ripped physique. I just can't be bothered since I get laid occasionally anyway.
Trick is to be interesting AS A WHOLE. That includes your body, face, and general personality.
Quit being an autist and you'll get laid.
>>28312043
But having muscle mass will give you MORE of an advantage. In most things in life.
I don't understand where you guys are coming from.
>>28312043
being short is actually an adantage in close quarters brawls, lower center of gravity means it's easy to topple a taller person and take the fight to the ground, so long as you have the leg power
>>28311975
why bother? I don't remodel houses or get into fights (>>28311950) When I was wagecucking I sat at a desk and never picked up anything heavier than a laptop. None of the problems in my life are things lifting would help with.

Shit guys why didn't we realize this
>>28312092
You can't be serious. I don't come to /r9k/ expecting prominent levels of self-esteem, but this is a strong contender for the most pathetic fucking I've ever read on here. Who cares what other people "might" think? What basis do you have to even state that people think that way when they see somebody that's relatively fit?
>>28311950
I'm a Russian living in a first world European cunt. I often work in the construction business and remodeling of houses, as well as plumbing.
I never worked out in my life and yet, i can do heavy physical work for a long time without trouble, other than having to smoke at least every half an hour and having a can of beer at arm's reach at any given moment.
I've been in a couple of bar fights, i carry a knife with me, and scared cunts off as soon as my nose started bleeding or i couldn't think straight.
T B H fuck you anon, you don't know shit.

>>28312075
It burns calories and improves your metabolic rate. It increases bone strength and prevents the metabolic decline that comes with aging. It gives you better posture, improves balance and coordination, decreases the risk of diabetes, lowers blood pressure, reduces the chances of harming your lower back/shoulders when you eventually DO do something physical, it improves cardiovascular health, releases endorphins, strengthens joints, ligaments, and tendons, reduces stress, improves mood, increases mental alertness and energy levels and it just makes you FEEL young and good AND look young and good.
If you don't give a shit about yourself or your body, no, don't bother.
No. Lifting is not a meme.

>>28311153
If you are even CONTEMPLATING lifting or any other normalfaggot, narcissistic behavior, you do not belong here. You are not a robot. I am dead serious.
Not like those "If you have a big ponos, you are not a robot" kek posters, but this genuinely changes you as a person. You become a cunt that's in love with themselves, that is not a robot feature. Everyone here is and SHOULD be self loathing, preferably a skeleton, but fatties are acceptable too

re-read that post. my life doesn't involve any exertion heavier than walking to my car or picking up anything heavier than a few pounds.
It's like I asked you what kind of computer I should build when I only use MS word and browse the web, and you're telling me I need an i7 and a 980Ti.

What? Of course things I've experienced in my life have had a bearing on how I've ended up, what's your point here?
>>28311153
For maybe 80% of you it isnt, the true ugly people have to get plastic surgery
>>28312409
Again, if you set NO higher expectations in your life, then no, don't bother lifting. Don't bother exercising in any way, shape or form. Those things I listed have to do with the overall health of your body, not just gaining muscle mass to be stronger.
>>28312603
See >>28312372
Lifting does not have shit to do with health, it's at most an accidental byproduct.
See: oly lifters who die of heart attacks before 30.
>>28312603
>b-but muh quality of lfie
Fitizens are such pathetic losers. Even worse than r9k t b h.
>>28312650
Wanting a higher quality of life makes me more pathetic than a person that doesn't want a higher quality of life? Solid logic.
>>28312639
I'm sure steroids and other poor life decisions have nothing to do with their cardiovascular problems. No, those things I mentioned are DIRECTLY benefited from lifting. Cardio also helps tremendously, I wouldn't know about meditation.
>falling for the "lifting for girls" meme
It always cracks me up when Anons fall for this and later make thread #34,571,986 "lifting didn't help me get into a relationship" of the day on /fit/.
>>28311950
To go along with why I do it, I'm also paranoid about the degradation/collapse of civilization, as are a lot of people on here. Once that happens, your survival will depend immensely on how strong and healthy you are.

Because I have a plethora of other issues going on in my life other than my body and I go here for the same reason I go anywhere else on this board: For anonymous discourse. I also enjoy helping people.
Everything is a meme, if you're ugly.
>>28313060
I also run. Why not run AND lift? What's more disgusting about being fat and strong than being fat and fat?
Don't want to be a robot? Lift.

it is if you go that hardcore into lifting. a body that good takes years of dedicated lifting and precise dieting. nobody is going to mock you if you have a lean decent looking body however. which is what ugly face guys should shoot for anyway. why does it seem like its all or nothing extremes with you guys?
>>28313376
And steroids. All except the tattoobrah are on gear bro.

Its like you guys aren't even paying attention when you go out. The guys I see with the hottest gfs are all tall and lanky with handsome faces. Think Leonardo dicarpio when he was young. Muscles are the biggest turn off to prime girls 16-22. Its all about the face.
>>28313137
That's completely false. In fact, I upgraded to /r9k/ after I started lifting.
Now I am miserable despite the progress.
>>28311230
This is the meme
Girls who say they like dad bodies never go for guys with dad bodies. Every girl I've met who says that either dates Chad or some skinny cut guy
>>28313464
>Muscles are the biggest turn off to prime girls 16-22
>provides anecdotal evidence that isn't even true
Having a nice face helps. Having a nice body also helps. Having both is ideal, having one or the other is better than having neither. Like >>28313376 said, why does it have to always be the extreme?
OTTERMODE IS WHAT YOU CUNTS SHOULD BE AIMING FOR
