Get Your Asses To the Gym!!!

[We_ArE_VeNOM]

That's a pixel 7 huh? You got good taste in phones.

Camera phones are one thing.

Eye balls are another

Also, idk why people are debating the gym stuff, muscles get you attention, but if you're awkward, you're just an awkward guy with muscles, even more of a turn off cause women expect that you have experience and should know how to seduce.

I would have thought the concept of building muscles would tap into any man's psyche, just for the sake of being masculine.

I guess not, tho.

You’re obviously not a fat guy. Perhaps you don’t have low bodyfat, but I don’t think anyone would think “fat guy”. You’re tall and have a huge frame.

Lifting, running, swimming, sports, all things physical help a man’s mind and body.

Men have to make sure to get tall first.

How the hell do men make sure to get tall first? Is there an app for that? A special work out regimen? Please do tell! Lol

I'm 5'9", 145 lbs. Fairly lean and skinny. Not a big guy. I'm aiming for more of a ripped look.

For those interested, The Strongest Shall Survive by Bill Starr is a really good book about training and nutrition

"You have an Incredible Hulk thing going on".

A vendor at work said this to me^.

Curious why you think this is a compliment. Many women find him repulsive. The vendor who made the comment may have also.

He weighed 1000+ lbs, all muscle but he was a freak.

It's great you're working out and so health conscious but comments like that, I dunno man, best to keep it in perspective. Your pic isn't bad, what we could see of it, shirt on, face covered. You appear to be in great shape.

Keep it up, it's all good.

I like the higher rep sets. I've never liked lifting heavy, and my body seems to be more adapted to mid to higher rep ranges.

I like it.

 

[mbc0029]

You ain't gotta post one.

In honor of me hitting 315 for 5 reps (and climbing), here is a pic of me.

I now stand amongst less than 1% of the general population.

Compliments, just about every day.

6'3, 300lbs.

Yeah, I'm fat, right?

Niceee.

What do you do for shoulders?

 

[savi0r]

Niceee.

What do you do for shoulders?

I do dumbell overhead press, military press, lateral raises, and some isolation excercises for the front and back of the shoulders. What made a difference, i think, is that i superset the lateral raises and i am very strict about the movement. Last year i dropped some of the weight on all exercises and focused more on the movement. I experienced some good growth this way. Ego is one big enemy in the gym. Thinking about it now, i did got alot of compliments last year ,mostly from the guys, but i was kinda fat. I was big, but also somewhat fat. Didn't feel right. I play soccer, table tennis and other sports regularly and it was affecting my performance. I find it really interesting you don't look fat at that weight.

@We_ArE_VeNOM made you all shut your damn mouths

 

[soulforge]

I am around 6ft-6ft 1, used to do the bulking/lift heavy and got too fat and hated it. Slimmed down to 14-15% BF, look good enough to be complimented by strangers, can eat relatively whatever I want within reason, and can still lift decent.

Yeh that big bulky look isn't great.

I have slimmed down recently, lost most of the belly fat.. worked on the arms/triceps so they pop out more.

Also like t throw in some cardio twice a week

 

[obelisk]

I concur savior. We're usually our own worst enemies in the gym due to ego myself included. I usually get far better results when I drop the weight a bit and focus on good form vs trying to impress those around me (who really don't care in the first place). The desire for boulder shoulders keeps me going.

Because of genetics, I have naturally big shoulders thank god.

low six figures is a nothing-burger in big cities?

I agree with you that low six figures is a nothing burger in big cities. We even had a thread on this.

Women Don't Want a Semi-Successful Man

Men in this category, $75k-$125k salary, relatively in shape, drive a good car, has a few hobbies, women do not want. Why? Because this man has standards. Women do not want to work for their men. Women of today want a simp or a millionaire. Simple as that. This is what society aka social media...

www.sosuave.net

In my city, $150,000 annual salary might be the bare minimum to impress women. It might even be $175,000 or $200,000.

Big muscles can offset any sort of salary deficiencies.

That’s me in my picture. I highly doubt if I were single I could compete with men of vast means. I make low six figures. Anyway, I never bothered with women who were not a potential good match. I was never rich, so I didn’t bother with women of higher socioeconomic status.

That physique and low six figures at age 45 would be competitive in the sexual marketplace.

Yeah, @We_ArE_VeNOM has a physique that would definitely be intimidating and get him noticed. But his advice is just not applicable to many people. Many people at his weight would look extremely obese. I couldnt get to 300 pounds, not even 250, even if I ate to full capacity every day, my metabolism is too fast.

Reading comprehension, sir (respectfully).

No where did I advise or insinuate for anyone to try and get to 300lbs.

I simply said to build muscle on whatever frame you are lugging around.

Lean muscle, bulk muscle; doesn't matter.

But the keyword; muscle.

Build it.
