Pennywise the Frown posted:I just started lifting... sort of. Off the booze so starting slow. I cancelled my membership to the YMCA because it was too expensive, lovely equipment and all of the poo poo was for seniors, and I just wasn't going. I signed up for Planet Fitness. Seriously. Planet Fitness. It's cheap and makes sense at the moment. I'm not lifting heavy. I'm going sometimes just to walk for an hour. I'm probably doing everything wrong that you guys don't do. I'm not going for strength right now. Honestly I'm really just going to go. Full body workout twice (hopefully) a week using mostly machines because they obviously don't have a lot of free weights. No one's gonna knock you for going to Planet Fitness. I lift at my local Y because it's cheap and since there's no legit gym near town it's a mix of old and young people. This was good for me because I started out real slow, just getting in the habit of going, and I wasn't out of place, but being around bigger guys doing real lifting did help motivate me to get more serious about it. Now as I reach or surpass their level I realize those guys are not actually jacked but weak and I long for a real gym that allows chalk and has deadlift platforms.

It is time to find a powerlifting gym and realize that you have, in fact, surpassed no one of consequence and are in fact the one who is weak. Then your real training can begin.

It's 86 Fahrenheit in my apartment. The towel I use to wipe off excess sweat is soaked through by the end of a workout. Great excuse to eat lots of salami, need to replenish salts.

I've been back at the Y during my summer between semesters. Haven't missed a day's exercise since I started on March 29 and it's been great for my mental health though I occasionally will have a philosophical dilemma where I have no output for the strength I've gained and I question the point of daily lifting. I've enjoyed "target months" in June and now I've almost finished July, concentrating on classically underdeveloped areas. In June it was my lower back and legs, which saw great gains in my squat, deadlift and leg press numbers and my butt is lifted af. July has been upper back month and four weeks in I'm finally seeing the fruits of my efforts. Dragging my heels to August though. Going to concentrate on core cause it's still made of pizza and Bad Carbs on account I refuse to change my garbo eating habits. I want what have been described by women as "gently caress me" hips (I knew them as the hip cut). I thought about going to a real meathead gym, but the Y is so affordable and generally never busy during the times I go (early/mid morning, never peak bro evening), and my own wildly unrealistic motivations are enough to keep me going. Welp that's my gym story thanks for reading.

DJ Fuckboy Supreme posted:philosophical dilemma where I have no output for the strength I've gained and I question the point of daily lifting. In tyool 2018 physical activity is purely an elective pursuit unless you're in a profession that requires physical fitness which, for your typical office jockey, is rare. No sports will have a "real life" output. Lifting weights wont get you a promotion at work, spin class won't make you a better accountant/IT guy/engineer, running a marathon won't land you that big contract. You just have to be confident that bettering yourself through weights/swimming/choose a sport, will just make you a more well rounded and capable person mentally as well as physically. And being confident that you are enabling yourself to have a longer, more healthy life. er wait i mean you gotta deadlift heavy so you can be ready to lift a bus to save the trapped swedish lingerie team who will shower you with love and affection and ask you to be their collective trophy husband

Hurting myself moving something back and forth endlessly without actually accomplishing or building anything other than the ability to do these tasks slightly better/faster definitely prepares me for being a software contractor where I hurt myself physically and mentally to do the same stupid poo poo that people pay me for over and over.

American Chinese food is delicious and made from recognizable proteins and good flavors. Mainland China is... less like that.

sassassin posted:I'm sure as gently caress not doing it to be "healthier". I just wanna know I am stronger than anyone I see "on the street". I wanna see them cower before my bulging deltoids. *Not really. Working out is a way to control your life, all of it. Your muscles don't care about anxieties or fears, and if you try to work out hung over, that poo poo is not gonna fly. It's easy to think too much about things, but it's also easy to reduce thought until there is nothing left except the kettlebell and the next set of swings. doverhog fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Jul 29, 2018 |

Being strong and fit feels good. It just feels good all over. Your body and brain love that poo poo. That's the main reason to lift Bonus perks: * People seem to automatically respect you more than before * Clothes look so much better on you than ever before * Women like you more * When that one moment comes when someone has to lift a heavy thing, you can be the dude to lift it, thus immediately becoming the bossest fucker in the room

Women somehow feel emboldened to say things like "I can tell you've been lifting a lot" which is not the kind of thing I'd probably want to say to a woman in TYOOL 2018.

Weightlifting lets you feel good about yourself while simultaneously feel completely unsatisfied with yourself.

Khorne posted:I have no idea. And yeah, it was hard to find them 8 months ago. I can't imagine now. So I bought a pair off ebay. The color is hideous but they were under a hundred bucks so whatever. Tried them out today. They are pretty darn tight but not unbearable for an hour or so. Hopefully they'll break in well but if not I'm not worried. It's not like I'm running in them. drat these shoes are loving heavy. That's going to take some getting used to. I usually do little adjustments to my stance after unracking but my gym has this weird padded floor and these shoes won't budge on it. Probably better in the long run. Overall I'm super happy with them. Was able to front squat without killing my lower back or falling over, and kept my form better to depth on back squats. A+ would recommend. nooneofconsequence fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Jul 31, 2018 |
