that lifting is by far the easiest and most unimpressive discipline the world of athleticism and fitness has to offer? And that a man should focus on cardio, martial arts training or skill based sports and use lifting in a supplemantary fashion?
>>76672288>a man shouldPost instantly discarded.
I think everyone knows weightlifting - not olympic weightlifting, like snatches, clean and jerks, etc. - isn't impressive on a technical level (since you're just moving heavy weight from one position to another), but I'd argue it is still impressive to see people lift thousands of pounds, not many people get to that level.
>>76672288A man should also be able to spell supplementary. As far as the thread - what are you trying to accomplish? It can be easily argued that lifting is useless, or that boxing, swimming, and running is useless 99.999% of the time as well.Like, what conclusion are you hoping to come to? It's literally a preference thing and if you take the health perspective, it's some balance of lifting, running, stretching, and good diet/sleep.
>>76672308What a foolish mistake on my part

If anyone asks why I lift I just tell them it's to supplement my swimming sessions.Shuts 99% of people up nicely.
>>76672393>Why do you lift?I won't even shy away from the truth and straight up say i went into the gym because i needed to stay away from excessive alcohol abuse plus the gym is like a game, one of those slow mmorpg's in which you need to have patience but a year or two, three down the road your stats are trough the roof. The gym is not hard as long as you stay consistent, similar to mmorpg's. But fuck those mmorpg's. They'll fuck you up physically. at least the gym builds you up and makes you feel good.
>>76672288Very fem-coded post, unfortunately you'll never pass nor lose the weight without a drug addiction.

>>76672288No one cares, it's objectively one of the best ways to become better looking, and becoming better looking dictates your success in life. Cope more.
>>76672751>no one gives a shit about the size of your muscles if you can't actually do anything practical with themwhich is why i lift for strength instead of hypertrophy :)
>>76672288>lifting is the simplest and easiest way to get strong, improve health, look better, and feel betterI totally agree OP, that’s why lifting is amazing.
>>76672751i wasted years in the gym and i got bulky empty muscle instead of strong functional muscle. thinking of doing high reps to tone my muscles down and then do some functional exercises to activate my muscles function, thoughts?
>>76672306But all those people are on steroids
>>76672288i think the redhead from storror has a really good package of athletics strength control and courage
>>76672288>a manFinds his own way and doesn't rely on external validation to feel right. Do whatever you must and shut up
