Is there any reason to actually exercise anymore?
study says you dont need to actually lift just be a basedience believer and sit around doing nothingno substitute for hard worknow rolling for pushups, last 2 digits. lets get this.
>>76767046the next generation is cooked if they follow advice like this
>>76767112This meme has been around for a decade now i remember almost 10 years ago hearing about some guy growing muscle just by thinking about exercise and some retard midwits swore by it
>>76767046@everyone imagine this one, fags
>>76767112>>76767135Visualization helps at the top level for all sports.
>>76767143Bro you should tell every NFL team they should just visualize all day at practice, they'll be so happy you let them in on this secret that Big Fitness doesn't want you to know about.
>>76767046>grow grow grow
>>76767262lmao
>>76767046
>>76767046doing actual exercise improves strength by 3x as much, and doesn't plateau
>>76767046I remember one of the top government health officials from the US said that diet and exercise don't work at all. It was all over the news when they were pushing body positivity. Can't find it now. Guess it's been memory-holed.
>>76767160Some of the greatest athletes of all time credit extreme dedication to visualization as a large part of their success
>ITT: mindlets coping they can't see the apple in their head
>>76767314This along with belief, almost to the point of absurdity in its disregard for reality, that they are the best in the world. Its a mindset and you can use it in all aspects of life. In the gym its just knowing you got that one more rep in ya, you probably do.
>>76767046You do this mentally WHILE you're lifting. This is how you get insane gains along with ensuring you get enough protein and sleep.
The effects your mind can have on your body are insane. I’m going to try placebomaxxing
>>76767046eurofags are cringe

>>76767046Arnold talked about this. Mind-muscle connection.https://youtube.com/shorts/tQvvd83WK54
>>76767046the planet is a hologram and everything is mind. your heart creates emotions and locks reality into your nervous system. regulate your thoughts, follow your inner compass and be a healthy, good person. thanks!
>>76767046careful with this one lads. I did it during covid and I haven't left the house since. I got so big I can't fit out the door.
>>76767046Mind over matter
>>76767046>if you psych yourself up beforehand you perform betterwow, revolutionary
It's just CNS activation. You do the same thing with actually lifting, but that gives you the added benefit of muscle growth. That's what noob strength gains are - they train the nervous system to actually use the muscles they have. The study mentions an increase in strength, not muscle mass. You can get stronger through visualisation, but not swole.
>where do you work out?>the library
>>76767046>>76767433>>76767262What people don't realize, or misinterpret quite often is the "placebo effect".The idea behind placebo effect isn't that you "imagined the effect and made yourself believe the outcome" but that your belief actually had physical effect on the body.Your mind literally can, with enough belief, do a lot of physical alteration. Your mind can create chemicals and your whole body to its believed sense.Same goes with nocebo (the negative effects of your beliefs). If you are fearful of getting cancer you are at bigger odds of getting cancer. Your beliefs literally shape your body.My hypothesis is that the mentally imagining muscle contractions increases neural drive, bdnf and wiring of the muscles, especially in the motor cortex of the brain (the one designed for actually moving the muscles).Imagining is same as real world for the brain, so it will fire the same neurons, just a tad bit weaker.
>>76768481Mike Mentzer mentions in his book how he imagines his muscles growing larger while laying in bed when he's about to sleep. He pictures his muscles inflating like balloons so much so that they fill the entire room.
>>76768503Mike Mentzer was really before his time, damn
>>76767262For leg day>Knee grow knee grow knee grow knee grow
>>76767262>>76768528would you rather watch a tree grow or a knee grow?
>>76767072roling
>>76767314Post three and their quotes supporting your statement.
I just picture the sound from the 6 gorillion dollar man.
>>76767046Assuming this was an actual study, and not made up bullshit, all it really says is that untrained people have difficulty fully activating muscles, but thinking about it helps. Which is something we've known forever. You know, all that shit about mind-muscle connection, CNS adaptations, etc.
Even if that isn't bullshit, it would be worthless for half the population who has no inner monologue.
>>76767135Maxalding has been around for over a century and was instrumental to the development of pic related physique
>>76767072Keep doing that while I'm making working out at the library real, brainlet. I just imagined a set to failure, you?
>>76768481I think this also makes it a good reason to get into religion. Religious people are more happy in general. So who cares if it's true or not ?
>>76767072roll
>>76767072I iz rawlint
>>76770116Too easy. Didn't even feel like I had to work for it. Reroll.
>>76768481Placebo effect exaggerated and mostly just mean regression.
I personally visualize myself brutalizing minorities in prison while yelling white suprematist slogans. Is that what that guy is referring to?
>>76768481SCHOLAR
>>76767046I have actually thought this before. If you think you're stalling you will stall but if you think you're growing you will grow
>>76769931You're not first to think of this. It's called "Pascals wager". It's flawed because God knows your heart and intentions. Instead of thinking you can fuck over God try actually understanding him and hearing him.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wagerYou're smart, but not as smart as you think you are.>>76770643Sure, it's limited at 20% to maybe 40% effect, but that is a huge amount compounded over time. That's why all pharmaceuticals are actually tested against placebo.>>76770868<3"Feeling the muscle" is so back, I want a gymbro to touch my activated muscle during my workouts so bad now.
>>76771664He's saying you should psyop yourself into genuine belief because it's good for your brain and feels nice, not because of some cost-benefit analysis of possibly going to heaven or hell
>>76771694That anon >>76769931 literally made cost-benefit analysis, just in current timeframe instead of afterlife.Pascal also did that, but he also did it for afterlife.My point wasn't about that psyoping yourself into anything is bad, but it doesn't work. You can't fool yourself and neither can you fool God. You know when you are lying to yourself, even if you have good intentions for doing so.The idea is to not live a lie, but to transcend the lie by questioning it to the point of obliterating everything else until truth is the only thing. Then you will have true belief in God, desire for holy communion and being a religious person.Doing religious practices and going to a building with bell every Sunday isn't what will make you closer to God.
>>76771694>>76771734In fact, I would argue, that the reason why most people don't psyop themselves into anything is because you can't. You will know you don't really believe in God, but you're just going to church and praying. You will feel drained doing that, and bored.
>>76767072based, rolling
>>76767046>Grow grow grow
>>76771734>Being honest will make you hungry for crackers and wineSounds like a gains goblin to me lil bro.
>>76767046fuck you shlomo, i'm gonna to keep liftin'
>>76767072I'm taking your roll, and imagining doing 72 prushups. Enjoy your no gains while I get extra gains.
>>76767072keep rollin rollin ROLLIN
>>76767768I'm gonna try this with the "phrase don't be ugly".
>>76768481How does this work on retards? Does retard strength come from them simply not understanding what strong is?
>>76768481Makes sense, just like how women can imagine themselves into a false pregnancy, and those monks can raise their body temperature consciously.
>>76772513Try the Bible diet, you won't regret it
>>76767046>imagine lifting while actually lifting>135% muscle growthSounds retarded but it’s true
>>76767072good idea, rollin
>>76767046STOP POSTING RANDOM BAIT IMAGESTHIS IS FROM A STUDY ABOUT MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION WHILE WORKING OUTANYTIME THERE IS SOME BAIT BULLSHIT IT IS NOT FROM A REAL /FIT/IZENREPORT AND IGNORE YOU FAGGOTS
>>76768503kek
>>76769897maxalding is about doing max effort isometrics, using your own body as leverage, nothing about imagining muscle into existence
>>76768481So can I recoverymaxx by going "heal heal heal" and imagining injuries or shredded muscle cells healing? Sounds retarded but that suits me
>>76767072i trained my brain to failure, it took me 10 secNow time for some pushups ROLLAN
>>76767160the best ones probably do alreadyYou think tom brady didn't imagine himself holding a new super bowl ring every single day? You think he didn't visualize that paid off ref? No, he dreamt it until he lived it, faked it until he made it.
>>76773243nonono, don't imagine lifting while you're lifting, that just makes you extra tiredYou gotta imagine getting stronger when you're resting. Think about them heavy ass weights you lifted and gaslight yourself into thinking they were heavier. Imagine pushing up a car with your bench while you're laying back, dragging a plane, squatting some falling furniture to save a childTrick your brain into thinking you need more muscles than you've actually earned
NO MATCH FOR MY SUPERIOR SPEED
>>76767046How do I lucid dream?
>>76775383look up videos and consistently execute the methods that they speak of
