beware the cardio to chud pipeline
>>76927343This is why I lift.
Actually I disagree massively. If anything lifting has showed me how everything is genetics and if you have shit genes youre basically fucked when it comes to seeing good results in the gym.Ive been lifting for 10+ years and there will be guys with good genetics who come into the gym and within 6 months look 10X better than I do.So yeah if anything the gym made me move more to the left in that life is unfair as fuck with things out of our control and that maybe yeah those who are lucky genetically who share what they have with us less fortunate.Why do I have to struggle to get under 20% bodyfat when you effortlessly maintain 8% bodyfat because of ur genetics? Why should get you huge muscles lifting with less effort than I do just because ur genetics allow u to look at a weight and gain tons of muscle where as for me muscle just refuses to build on my body
>>76927354True and there will always be men who are superior, in any domain, it's unavoidable, but you probably still look better than the 95% that don't lift at all.
>>76927354>the gym made me move more to the left in that life is unfair as fuckhow is that a leftist belief? do you believe in social equity and money distribution?
>>76927381Because genetics isn't just about the gym, its with intelligence and the capability to acquire resources to build wealth
>>76927354>why do I have to struggle He who would live must fight. He who doesn't wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.
>>76927386You do not understand yourself and the ideas that possess you.Acknowledging genetic differences is fundamentally right wing coded.If you were moving left you would deny this basic reality and try to convince yourself it was all socially constructed or the result of some kind of bias or social conditioning where the gym or gym staff somehow prefer the other guy and give him unearned gains.The fact that you want to offset or compensate for this genetic difference is just empathy - everyone wants to care for and elevate those inferior to themselves (albeit you’re looking at this the other way around).Empathy is more neutral, but typically manifests in the right as ‘I will help/be helped by my community’ and in the left as ‘the government should help me and my community’.So whether you’re really becoming more leftist or not depends on the approach you instinctively reach for in this situation- individual or institutional?Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
>>76927381> do you believe in social equity and money distribution?yes
This is a more complicated answer than this identity politician deserves, but here goes: once you understand how merit requires improvement, the initial pull is to acquire as much personal merit as possible. Once you hit your prescribed cap for personal merit, any further effort is past the point of diminishing returns for yourself. This is where the real decision needs to be made. Do you stop accumulating merit because you have enough, or do you continue to accumulate to contribute to things outside yourself? Any excess is wasted unless it is distributed. Figure it out, lefties. The most gracious and society serving members continue to produce to benefit the whole, while the greedy and overly simple will just bitch and be lazy, benefitting no one, not even themselves.
>>76927354>Ive been lifting for 10+ years and there will be guys with good genetics who come into the gym and within 6 months look 10X better than I do.the government should take away their gains and redistribute them to the beta males
>>76927343Female The Guardian columnists always have the worst takes about everything.
>>76928666>most gracious and society serving members continue to produce to benefit the whole, while the greedy and overly simple will just bitch and be lazy, benefitting no one, not even themselves.No, retard. This is some Ayn Rand levels of delusions. Maybe this was true in a time of higher corporate tax rates and no stock buy backs, but since Reagan the rich have gotten exponentially richer, while everyone else has been struggling more. The greed problem in society is with the top 1%, not the majority. It has been proven that trickle down economics is complete bullshit. Stop falling for propaganda and actually learn something.>>76927343OTT, lifting has not changed my political views at all. Anyone who's views can be easily influenced by simply hearing other viewpoints is a retard. Knowing the value of discipline and hard work did not push me further right.
>>76928684>It has been proven that trickle down economics is complete bullshitand communism works perfectly, just look at the great leap forward
>>76927354>Why do I have to struggle to get under 20% bodyfat when you effortlessly maintain 8% bodyfat because of ur genetics?This sounds like low t and dietary issues. Low t isn't genetic either. Take 30mg zinc and 50mg (or mcg?) vitamin d. Start getting more sun. Cut out all wheat and most sources of sugar. This will all make lifelong differences in health and aesthetics. A lot of guys also virtually cap natty gains after about 6 years, especially if they started in their 20s. Beyond that you may struggle to see +5lbs on your bench press per year. It's not uncommon, and as you push into your 30s gains slow down even more and eventually you just fight to keep what you had until you pin trt. The switch from good gains and a healthy body to athlete level hollywood aesthetics comes from either elite training since you were a teenager or the needle. Women do not want you to look like you pin. As long as you're 5'8+ (actual genetic issue) and fit by eating healthy and exercising, you should have no issue finding love.
>>76927354>try, fail>wallow in failure>become leftist
>>76928836>tryleftists would never
>>76928684>"tax the rich!">actually raise taxes on the middle class like a boss>small business owners can't compete with lobbying state subsidized corporations>class crunch time
>>76927343Didn't commies supported merit and self worth at one point?
>>76927343Women don't want you unless you're a big dick rich 6 foot far leftist. So i guess they don't want anyone.
>>76928836Thats their entry requirement
>>76929132modern leftists are just whiny bitches
>>76929132>Didn't commies supported merit and self worth at one point?no..? its completely contrary to their whole ideology
>>76927354>If anything lifting has showed me how everything is geneticsUpon realizing this, people with high moral standards become Nazis, vindictive losers become Marxists.
>>76927354>u
>>76929132>135 lb at 5'10 with diabetes i guarantee he defends sneed oils
>>76927343>getting fit is great but it could turn you into a right wing jerk>the more self-actualised you become the higher you are on self-righteousness, blaming other people's problems on their failure to be as healthy as youshe says this like that's a bad thing. in part that's exactly what happens. it's like she's trying to scare people off from the truth.
>>76927343>implying the guardian isn't right wing controlled opposition and false flagging Right wingers are fat unfit fags and gooners that simp over some plastic whores and Sydney Sweeney. Fit chads are communists and we are going to smash capitalists fascists and their feminist tools.
>>76927354You are not in competition with others. I am deluded enough that even the smallest improvement in the mirror make me feel Chad.
>>76927381The leftist belief would rather be that the genetically disadvantaged guy should receive as much help as possible to maximize his potential.
>>76929413Soviets always seemed to use the Olympics to show off though.
>>76927343What ethnicity is this?
>>76927354You are retard. You can still improve your own best, if you feel jealous instead of inspired by others being better than you indeed are a leftoid.
>>76929730Yes they did it with Chess as well during the cold war but still got mogged by Bobby Fischer.
>>76927343.
>>76927343It seems like women are running out of things to be retarded about. Shame them into oblivion, they MUST be fit to fit our dicks. This is non negotiable.
>>76927354Because when you struggle for your results they matter more and they make you a stronger man overall than the guy who got it effortlessly. And eventually, when you mog him, he will never catch up because you are far harder and cannier than he is. I also think that you're being a dramatic faggot here. Excluding some weird hormonal shit, most men are capable of getting into very good shape. The one complaining about lack of progress are almost certainly doing something very basic wrong or half assin it
>>76927381Nigga, going to the gym is a pure form of communism, you arw sharing communal equipment within a community. Build a homegym if you wanna larp as ancap. Fucking retard
>>76929427This is pretty much it. Id I had the choice of choosing a society where I live but the world is choked with jeets and blacks and the rivers are toxic, nature destroyed, population skyrocketing and composed of genetic trash, or the choice of some sort of Elysium where the genetically blessed live in paradise but I've been filled I still choose the latter. Better a paradise without me than a shit hole with me in it
>>76930546How is that communism? You pay for it, it's just rentcel capitalism.
>>76927354Aesthetics doesn't mean you have shit genes, a powerlifter or strongman doesn't look 'aesthetic' but has the genetics to be far stronger.
>>76929132Love the faggot talking about how being "swole" will have no bearing in a street fight. Yeah that's it Poindexter. Your skinnyfat ass is going to whoop the guy who can lift your bodyweight over his head for reps lmfao
>>76927354>Why do I have to struggle to get under 20% bodyfat when you effortlessly maintain 8% bodyfat because of ur genetics?Lol, lmao even.I take roids and glp1 agonists. I mog normies with my physique thanks to reta. I've gained and lost 50 lbs in the span for 4-5 months twice. First time using DNP and t3, second time same stack but with glp1 agonists. Dieting is easy as fuck, the only thing I hate is how SLOW it is. 1 lbs a week? Fuck that, add in 200mg of DNP and 25mcg of t3 and that becomes 2.2 lbs a week for me. Problem is, self control stays the same, bit the cravings double so it becomes twice as hard to diet.THANK GOD FOR GLP1 agonists!Anywho, moral of this story is it isn't genetics. It's pharmacopeia and you can massively level the playing field with it. Everyone with decent physiques is doing drugs, period.
>>76927354if you lift hard and eat a surplus you will make gains, guaranteed. lifting is probably one of the easiest pursuits of all time. You are just a retard.
>>76931351Eating surplus is the hardest thing of lifting. How the fuck I'm I supposed to eat 3k calories in a single day when I'm full for 5 hours from a good 1k calorie meal and I have to go to work and sleep 8 hours on top of that? And no I'm not gonna drink olive oil
>>76931358I agree, eating is the hardest part. It's trainable, got to progressively overload the stomach.
im congealing my gainzid id a bulk and a cut on accident i didnt even know i just thoguth iw as eating too much but, it turn sout that i actulaly didnt eat that much too much, it mighta been a lil too much but it ensured progress it wasnt that crazynow im congealling everythign with a radical cut!
>>76927343True. I went for a jog yesterday and today I incinerated 6 gorillion jews
>>76929596Why not just kill the genetic trash and use the extra resources for the genetic cream to produce someone more useful?
>>76931416Because communism/Marxism is an actively dysgenic philosophy. It literally aspires to bring the average down and make everyone worse in the name of equality of outcome. Leftism is a mental, emotional, and spiritual disease that aspires to also be a physical disease.
its so funny when peole discuss politics lmfaobro what arey ou like 100 years old? no one does politics anymreo bro
>>76931378GAINZ CONGEALBASEDCONGEAL DA GAINZ ANON!!!
>>76927544This
>>76931416Because it doesn't work like this. The genetic trash may have super endurance genes and the muscle beast a gene that causes mutations after middle age.
>>76930546>paying a private entity (the gym) for a service (using gym equipment) is communism???>>76931443>Because communism/Marxism is an actively dysgenic philosophy./thread
>>76927354I love this post, I hope it's genuine. The perfect example of how weak failures seethe and cope, flee to the left wing of politics and fuck us all over in the long run.
>>76932243Love your arguments
>>76927354>geneticsthis is not how you spell trenbolone, low-dose daily tadalafil, retatrutide, and SARMs. almost everyone is doing it or has at least, tried it in the past. smart folks do not admit it and act like it was all natty.this is very much how bulimia works in various competitive social settings: everyone does it but no one talks about it.
>>76930546>communalMaybe if you're talking about outdoor calisthenics parks.
>>76927354>Why do I have to struggle to get under 20% bodyfat when you effortlessly maintain 8% bodyfat because of ur genetics?Maybe write down everything you eat for a week or two and see your calorie intake.
