>That guy at the gym who’s been ”maingaining” for 2 years but is still moving the same weight for the same amount of reps and who hasn’t gotten any bigger but insists it’s going to work anytime nowPlease tell me this isn’t you
thats 99% of gym goers but they do it without knowing what maingaining is but theres a certain demographic of terminally online gymcels who are terrified of gaining bodyfat so they refuse to ever be in a calorie surplus so they decided to throw a name on it and call it "maingaining" but theres no actual gains
>>76657810that's me anon.I am trying to lose weight but pushing more weight will make me stressed and need to eat more. If I don't eat enough then I'll experience brainfog but the enough amount is more than maintenance so I'll just get chubby and be builtfat which I don't want because I want to maintain my twink appearance.
>>76657819Hey, I want to stay a twink. I don't want to be a powersharter.
>>76657819Learn what the terms you use mean you fucking faggot. A gymcel is exactly the type of guy to deliberately gain bodyfat because he doesn't understand that being lean is law. Ruining your looks in the pursuit of muscle gains is the literal definition of gymcel
I maingained from 78kg to 82kg in about 4 months then I got sick last week for almost 2 weeks and now I'm 78.5kg.
>>76657866you lost water weight retard. only exception being if you were completely bed ridden & immobile and did a 2 week water fast
>>76657810This is me. Only I bulk and cut at random intervals as well
>>76657810>maingainingWhat the helly does maingaining mean? No cap, I don't understand none of this shit. Like, all I do is just lift weights, bro. None of that bolshevik terms and shit
>>76658785Yeah this is a board for free expression, not fascist moves.
>>76657810This is me. Except I went from being out of breath from walking uphill to a 3:25 marathon time. You have no idea what people are doing outside the walls of a gym. Your physique should only be one small segment of your overall health and fitness. I’m so much fitter and leaner now than when I was just a fat lazy gymcel
>>76657850Roids fix that for you
>>76657810Im well aware not bulking is a huge waste of time im not a delusional leanhomo homo groomer trying to get teenagers to injure themselves by lifting as poorly as possible or saying T tanks at 15%bf or that a multiple month bulk isnt the only way to not waste genetic potential to be wider and thicker on a skeletel level. I just give good advice look at my physique its obvious i know what im doing.
>>76657850I dont only want a wife that obliterates my butt but also treats me poorly in front of company when i cook for them and she beats me too
>>76657819You can put on size while losing weight if you hourly time it. But the question is why, youre losing out on lifetime max, progress less than half as fast or far.
>>76657810After you’ve got your first 2 years of gains in a caloric surplus you should just cut until you look good. Working exponentially harder for 15% more muscle max is just not worth it. Your time would be better spent doing basically anything else than slaving away for 1 inch bigger arms or whatever stupid shit you care about.
>>76657810hey whore, fuck you
>>76657850>wow what will hypothetical women I am not fucking anyway think of me if I actually gain muscle and become strongerthis new subset of "lifters" polluting are the gayest fucking retards in existence, stop using the word faggot because spiritually you are one.now you'll call me some brainrot variation of a word ending with a -cel, or a powershitter.so now I will invoke the fact that I never did a single repetition in my life for women, or that I cannot respect any man that do, nor had any problem with women. in fact I respect a truecel that actually does something, anything in his life for its own sake rather than the performative preening you try to fool yourself are actions.
>>76658785Bro trust me I know. These fools don’t know a goddamn thing about a goddamn thing.
>>76657810>he fell for the bulking meme HAHAHAHA WE GOT ANOTHER ONE OP YOU RETARD
>work out for half a year, make newbie gainz>get slightly injured/tired of gym/stall/all of the above>take a month off>lose gainz>work out for half a year, make newbie gainzMy life for the past 12 years.
>>76659236>1 month offFuck man I feel guilty when skipping one day hahaha
It almost certainly does work. The burden of proof would be on you to explain why it doesn’t work. Why can’t I bulk for 1 week and then cut for 1 week. What unknown magical affect makes it so that you can’t?
>>76657810>>76657819such is the life of the natty>>76657820trying to "lose fat and build muscle" at the same time is reason the vast majority of gymers make zero progress.Cut or bulk. You cant do both.If you want to cut, you should decrease your calories, be doing mostly cardio and little bit of lifting to maintain muscleIf you want to bulk you should be slightly increasing your calories (like eat an extra chicken sandwich at most each day) and lift heavy
>>76659488Because it takes a long time for your body to actually see results from your progress in the gym, if you constantly go into a calorie deficit and interupt that process you will literally never make gains
>>76657824>>76657850>>76658867>>76658888>>76658897Just bulk slowly then agressively cut you subhuman genetic dead ends.
>>76657824>>76657850>girls like leanHere's what they like more than lean, popularity with men.If you are big, men like you, if men like you, women love you.if you are attractive to women, women like you but they dont love you.never in my fucking life have I seen a socially popular guy cheated onbut I have seen chads and chad lites cheated on.
>>76659817>bulk slowLift more? Youre missing out a ton at least get bmr higher first because lean bulk definitely isnt as good for strength/size only.
>>76658872gymcelling has minimal ROI, roiding has zero ROI why would you ever compromise your health and age your appearance roiding out?>>76658895jfl at thinking muscles have anything to do on whether your woman respects you or not>>76659136>>76659817To both of you bulktard faggots who implied that I am a DYEL, this is my forearm at 6’2” with a 6’4” wingspan.you are coping if you think that you aren’t lifting for women. Unless you are a pro athlete or a 65 yo chain smoker who was told by your doctor to start doing cardio or you’re going to die, the only reason that you lift, whether consciously or subconsciously is women. Everyone in the gym from the broccoli haired teenager, to the balding manlet and the middle aged dad does it for women and claiming that you don’t only makes you a self-righteous faggot“but saar i lift to get stronger” because you subconsciously associate becoming stronger with being more attractive to women“but saar i lift to stop being a skeleton” because you subconsciously associate having bigger muscles with being more attractive to women>>76659819correlation does not equal imply causation.
>>76660166equal or imply*
>>76660166Obsessed. Just let the anons bulk you obnoxious twink
>>76660181don’t cry fat boi. i want let kids browsing this mongolian forum fall for bulking propaganda
>>76660188wont*
>>76660181Saar
>>76660166Not every anon lifts for women, some lift to beat up niggers
>>76660166Ok lets say you go back to hs girls who rejected you and are still single. That is inherently cucked you are sick.
>>76660188Im not fat
>>76660199I'm black and I lift to beat up women
>>76660199>>76660268lifting doesn’t have a significant ROI on fights you’d be better off training in mixed martial arts or boxing or sth>>76660227A guy who was rejected for his appearance in HS, unless the problem with his appearance was that he was obese, chances are that he wont be able to ascend non-surgically because attractiveness is about face & height not about muscles (reasonable musculature can complement an attractive face/height but on their own muscles do not matter). if you were able to ascend surgically or in any other way there’s no way to remain in anger stage and should realize that you would have rejected an unattractive girl too>>76660232fatso
>>76660335Youre half right i followed youtube roider advice in hs and immediately blew out my shoulder and became less wide than in middleschool trying to be lean.
>>76660268Before or after the rape
>Bro X works>Ok but you have been doing X and have zero results, are you sure?>OMG WTF RETARD OF COURSE IM RIGHT IT WILL WORK NO I CANT PROVE IT BUT IT WILL JUST TRUST ME BRO OKThis is how delusional people sound trying to defend not making any gains in either volume or intensity for years hoping muscle tissue will just manifest from the aether if they will it hard enough
>>76660390Im putting on legit size losing weight. Would it be way better gaining yes, is cutting gay yes, am i gay not even slightly.
>>76660335>attractiveness is about face & heightI'm average face and height and had multiple gf's, how do you explain this?
>>76660396As a natural lifter it’s simpleLifts/Reps going up? You gained muscle. Otherwise you didn’t.Simple as. No two ways about it. As a natural strength and volume as metrics are 1:1 correlated (r=1) with muscle gain
>>76660390if you were 100kg and did 100kg cable row for 5 reps and now you are 75kg and do 100kg cable row for 5 reps then your strength has increased>>76660402 face and height aren’t the only variables but the most significant ones additionally, the utility that you get from your face has both linear and exponential traits (meaning that a guy who looks just slightly better will only receive marginally more utility) while the utility that you get from height is logarithmic. A guy that is significantly below average height will receive no utility, he will get no pussy. An average height guy will experience enough utility, meaning that he will be able to get one or more girlfriends. A guy that is tall but not extremely tall, between 6’ and 6’4”, will experience even more utility, he will be able to easily get attractive women. A guy that approaches an extreme height 6’5”+, will experience no statistically significant further utility from his height on average.The difference from 5’2” to 5’7” is significantly greater than the difference from 5’7” to 6ft. The utility that u get from your height compared to a very short guy is SIGNIFICANTLY greater than the utility that a tall guy gets compared to you.The utility that you get from your face as an average looking guy is enough to get you a gf, but a good looking guy is on a completely different reality. For example I believe that you have seen girls giving IOIs to attractive dudes while their bfs are next to them. A girl will reject a sub5, commit to an average looking guy but not respect him and treat him as she would treat a very attractive man, the necessary condition being ceteris paribus meaning that the average dude doesn’t have traits that the attractive dude lacks like for example the average dude is a CEO and the attractive dude is broke.
>>76660402>>76660509but even then it’s much more preferable for a girl to be committed to you and treat you with respect for your physical value rather than things that you possess because your physical value is essentially what you are.
