Getting jacked/ripped would eliminate 85% of the problems on this forum..

Only one thing matters in fighting....training and experience. A small guy well trained in just about any decent martial art can rag doll / knockout guys much bigger than him.

Martial arts skills are overestimated when it comes to streetfighting.

While for sure it is beneficial when a man knows how to throw punches and low-kicks, a lot of techniques are useless in an uncontrolled environment aka streetfight.

The jacked 220 lbs guy will just steamroll over the 150 lbs whatever blackbelt.

Just like the 170 lbs sportive man will steamroll over the 110 lbs whatever blackbelt woman.

I think grappling skills are more useful. disciplines like some variation of Jiu Jitsu.

Grappling has its uses to, off course, brasillian jiu jitsu is quite popular for a reason.
What you dont want is ending up grappling on the ground with a guy, while his friend is kicking your head in.
In a streetfight, never go to the ground.

I hit the gym at 4:40 every morning and stay until 5:10. 30 minutes of HIIT, 3 days a week. Swimming is 2 days a week. Rest the other 2 days.

I'm benching 335 and squatting 575. When I walk into a bar wearing a tank top, women turn their heads.

I'm not saying this to brag. I'm saying this to lend credence to @cola's OP. He's absolutely right.

similar here. wake up around 4ish most days and get 30-50 mins weight session in 5-6 times a week, plus a few runs right after. you do get used to training early and in my case, fasted. obviously if you're going to bed late, you're going to feel it, but I naturally only seem to need 6 hours sleep a night. once awake, I can't get back to sleep again.

best thing is never to get into a fight really as so much can happen in bars/nightclubs. Used to go out all the time in my 20's and get smashed, high etc and only had a couple and they could have easily been avoided. Some of my mates/aquinatances back then would regularly get in altercations for one reason or another.

I think if you're frequently getting into situations, you'd be better off addressing your behaviour.

Situational awareness is the most important skill. It will stop fights before they even start.

If you seriously train and do workout, you will radiate a "dont tread on me"-aura that keeps most **** out of your way unless you are actively looking for trouble.

It must be really easy where you live.. if all it took was working out, i would have been swimming in pvssy since almost a decade ago. Good location.

So you could be built out impeccably, dressed to the nines but where you live if your not part of the group you won't get no play?

 

[cola]

You're getting every bit out of that $10/month. Looking good brother.

Lol, I got two gym memberships planet fitness is closer to the house but I go to a real gym for squats/deadlift days

 

[mrgoodstuff]

There is a community of people that has invaded the manosphere, that would rather intellectually debate everything, as opposed to actually doing things.

I won't say the name, but it rhymes with Schmincel.

That's a whole bunch of people like that who post here frequently including myself. Stay in marginal or fvcked up situations and complain instead of going out and meeting new women.

As a bouncer, I can tell you first hand the two reasons that most fights start ..

1. being drunk acting silly and invading peoples personal space

2. Messing with a dudes girl ..

So stay arms length away from dudes you don’t know, respect people’s personal space and if a girl says she has a boyfriend leave it alone because he might be there in the crowd with his boys.
You’ll be good 99% of the time.

Streetfights just have too many variables. IMO the 150 lb blackbelt may have as good a shot as the 220 lb guy. Streetfights are always a little bit like rolling dice. Where problems arise is when the muscular guy over relies on his physical attributes or when the black belt over relies on his percieved fighting prowess. Either way, it's better to have strength and not need it than to need it and not have it. Same could also be said about fighting skills. All things being equal in fighting skills, physical prowess could be your ace in the hole. But then again, too many variables. Just as HOF/ UFC BJ Penn found out one evening. BJ Penn

 

[EyeBRollin]

This is here is a bunch of EXCUSES... You can absolutely get Jacked with zero steroid use.

Time & commitment & sacrifice is all that is required.. Which is what some of you are afraid of. The work!!

Lol. What supplement are you selling?

And you're forgetting that there are no rules and that people do use weapons.

And even if not weapons, they can bite and eye gouge.

Yep, those are some of the variables. Also, a one on one fight can quickly turn into a 3 on 1 fight and so on. I've witnessed a bjj guy take down a dude and begin to sink a rear naked choke in only to have another dude come out of nowhere and punt his head like a football.

 

[mrgoodstuff]

Only a moron would get into a fight at a strip club, regardless of whether they have martial arts training. Martial arts mean nothing when the other guy has a gun.

Strip club is about the most retarded place to be fighting.

A person stupid enough to start a street fight is also too stupid to inspect his opponent.

Nope, criminals and bullies are usually not looking for a fight, they are looking for a victim.
They might be stupid but they are not THAT kind of stupid.

As long as you are looking like a gladiator, being polite and dont hurt anyones ego (especially drunken ones and from certain cultures), you will be left alone.

 

[YourGreatestFear]

I’m telling you it’s no greater feeling than walking into a room with a shirt that could possibly be considered a size too small and watching girls eye-f*ck you when you walk by.

Men hold you in a higher esteem and automatically give you respect. Girls will walk up, touch your biceps and open you.

Your coworkers will respect you, your performance at work will improve, your family will admire you ..Your energy and mood will be better, you’ll have stronger erections Girls will put out faster, and you’ll have access to quality, fit women you did not have before.

I advise anyone who is struggling in dating, confidence or life in general to put down the phone and go to the gym right now.
If you are completely clueless, hire a trainer and nutritionists. If you know a little bit, read more and experiment and get those gains.

it will fix almost everything ..

It's one of the best advertisements of anabolic steroids I've ever seen, good luck with that, guys! Lol.
Yeah, you can definitely attract attention with a hot body. But mostly in certain circumstances and for certain people. A guy who's below 5'9 and doesn't use steroids would never get a body great enough to make everyone respect him and women throwing themselves at him, especially if his face is ugly. In the end, if you can't be in the top 5% in terms of looks, you can always get in the top 5% in terms of game and still slay it. The gym definitely isn't going to "fix almost everything" for an average dude. For a dude who's already above average in looks by birth, a gym could make him into a real beast, though. But anabolics are never worth using, you can buy bitches but you can't buy health.
