More like fallen. All the technology occurred in the middle the universe's death, which, by the way, could only happen at an unimaginably rapid pace.

Hey man I recognize you from the uncle anon threads on /fit/!! Glad to see you're off parole. What you did to those kids was fucked up though.

>Glorying in your own strength
You are no better than an ox pulling a plow. The beauty of the mind is much longer lasting than that of the body.
I wouldn't take investment advice from someone like you.

I read books on my way to the gym.
Then at the gym I hit on all the Asian girls.

gym is a place for uglycels that are fell for self improvement meme and tried to lift, bulking themselves in order to fuck. What they failed to understand is that lifting, running, or whatever wont improve their looks and girls wont fall head over heels to you just because you wear a slimfit clothing that shows your chest muscle or even abs. Go to any gym, take a look at your local calisthenic park, 80% of them are filled with ugly manlet balding retard that (yjk) wont make it in dating market. Face matters, looks matters, psyhiogonlonmy or whatever you spelled it, also matters. some people just wont believe that thing until they see it for themselves

Always do both.
Work out 5 times a week.
Read one book a week.
Boom.
90% of your mental issues are no longer issues.

Do both :D

I'm doing both right now, but lifting is easy than reading books. I may be retarded.

Lifting weights is literally pointless, you need to do it constantly otherwise the body just reverts to normal and all that lifting is useless, and the application are almost nil because strenght isn't really required in our modern world, so it's just about aesthetic and vanity first and foremost

>>24531599

You can lift books but you can't read weights.

>>24531599
It's about physical health first and foremost you fucking retard. What a fucking cope.

Idrc about lifting weights or any form of exercise past what it is neccesary to stay healthy. Obviously, I'll do it from time to time to maintain strength in my muscles, but I'm not doing anymore than I need to.

>>24531662
That's exactly what I do. I basically have a 26 lbs kettlebell that I use to do exercises almost everyday. Strenght-endurance, basically. I read that's still not enough, but I started a little while ago, so baby steps first.

I'm pretty active physically and that includes some lifting, but I have very little incentive to get big. Most forms of exercise quickly get boring and hit diminishing returns. I still fit in dedicated cardio and weight sessions once in a while, but steadily yoga has come to be my dominant exercise, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking to actually get healthy and feel good.
Most men look good with at least a little bit of muscle, but not necessarily with more than that, and on a guy like me, massive muscles would just be incongruous and silly. Accepting that, I'm very happy with my lean and functional physique, and I highly recommend putting in the work to have something you can feel some pride in when you see in the mirror. And exercising the body is good for the brain too, remember.

Shut the FUCK up. Lifting vastly increases bone density, tendon strength, and resilience to injury, qualities that improve your life for decades to come. Stay home and get fat if you want, but don't get mad when you need a walker to move around in your 70s or you need a LifeAlert to save your tubby ass when you fall down and can't get back up by yourself.

>>24531973
who ever heard of bodybuilders having heart attacks?

>>24531978
Who said anything about bodybuilding? You're looking at a very narrow subset of all weightlifters and projecting their qualities onto everyone who goes to a gym.

>>24531987
i see. you’re not bodybuilding, just lifting weights religiously, monitoring your bone density and getting mad online at strangers. walking, eating right, getting sun, and not spending your life hunched over a screen also improves your bone density. health isn’t a one-road path.

>>24530762
Cope: the post. If you're a sperg, no amount of looks will save you.

>>24531599
Nigga, do you know what health is? You fat fuck.

>>24532095
i know from personal experience if a girl likes how you look, you sort of get away with murder

>>24532096
if you lived on a tropical island by yourself, would you lift heavy rocks five days a week?

>>24532098
But not away with being twitchy and not knowing where to direct your eyes

Why is it always dyels the ones worried about getting """too big"""? Don't worry, that'll never happen to you.

>>24532266
why isn’t it that most people who get into lifting are short and ugly

>>24532266
Ignorance brought about by prejudice against those bigger than them, and media exposure to steroid users. They just think it's easy since actors and "Meatheads" can do it.

>Don't worry, that'll never happen to you
another part of why I never set my sights on it and generally discourage most men from it- I'd have to take roids and/or force myself to eat (eating is gross) and it wouldn't be worth it even if it somehow led to a "successful" /fit/ build.
Moderate lifting is still worth it for general health and functional strength and because it feels good to know you can do it. You wanna make a priority of pushing it further, go for it- it's not a priority for me.

Dude if you want to deliberately misread my posts and spend your life being unhealthy and weak that's on you. Just don't act like you're being intellectually honest by doing so.

>>24531655
lifting has nothing to do with health, just function. minimizing energy consumption is healthy.

>>24532848
K bro go ahead and starve yourself then. Whatever your definition of health is, it sure as shit isn't mine.

>>24532266
lmao meatheads are slave moralist cucks.

>>24532856
>K bro go ahead and starve yourself then.
you should eat what you need, yes.
>Whatever your definition of health is, it sure as shit isn't mine.
anything that kills you faster is by definition unhealthy.

You can life weights and read books. Its possible to have more than one hobby.

>>24532862
This is such a myopic view of health it saddens me. Somehow, in your mind, stressing the body to stimulate growth is bad, but losing mobility into old age, being frighteningly more susceptible to injury due to low bone density and low tendon strength, and having much higher chances of failing to recover from injury or surgery are all okay.
If I came off as angry earlier it's because I was angry. I get angry when people deliberately neglect their bodies and lose decades of their lives as a result. I get angry when people get fat and lose mobility and struggle to live independently past middle age. I get angry when people throw huge fits over seed oils or food dyes but can't walk up a flight of stairs without breathing hard or can't play with their grandkids because they fear snapping a bone from moving too fast. You can't just hyperfixate on avoiding stress or "minimizing energy consumption" (which, by the way, you have not even attempted to prove is "healthy"). The body is so much more complex than this, to the point that some kinds of stress are healthier to live with than without.

I do Muay Thai and BJJ and I could beat you up

I do some (homegym) weightlifting, swimming, calisthenics and kickboxing
I read 20-30 books a year

Entiendo que probablemente no te gusten los libros ni leer. Pero eso no hace perdedores a los que lo hacen. De hecho, eso que tanto admiras y te gusta, el gimnasio, no es algo que no escape de conocimientos y técnicas que tienen enormes cantidades de estudios y publicaciones para trabajar el músculo de forma correcta, y para evitar lesionarse.
Eso sin mencionar los estudios en nutrición, complementos para el fortalecimiento de los músculos y crecimiento de los mismos, ensayos clínicos demostrando efectividad del consumo de diversas sustancias para incrementar la masa muscular, etc.
Mejor piensa bien lo que dices, muchacho.
