When normies ask you how much do you work out, what is your answer? Do you say the truth? Do you play into the "bodybuilders are at the gym 8 hours a day" myth? Or do you downplay it?A normie recently asked me how often do I work out and I told him:>20 pushups a day right after getting out of bed and swimming once a weekThe funniest thing is, he believed what I said, because those faggots don't even enough discipline to do even 20 push ups for a week. So he does not know if it really would give him similar results. Obviously, I work out 5 days a week with weights and go heavy as fuck. But it was fun to see a normie seethe.
>>77357950>Do you make normies lose faith in themselves?No, that's something only a faggot edgelord would do. I tell people the truth. A well rounded routine, moderate intensity, and consistency is all it takes to be remarkably healthier, stronger, and better looking. Everyone can make it & the more that do, the better our world is. Again, only absolute fags would work against that and I've never, ever, seen someone who acts like this so anything impressive in the gym. It's basically bucket crab shit.
>>77357950Normies do not ask me how much I work out I would be baffled and speechless if anyone ever said anything to me
>>77357950Hercules Beetles do like 850 times bodyweight. Beetles are the per size coolest things in existence.You got the Hercules Beetles with the strongest lift power at 850 times bodyweight. Dung Beetle with the strongest pull power at over 1100 times their body weight. You got the Iron Clad Beetle which are practically invincible at their size, walking tanks that you have to use power tools to break their shells. You can run them over with cars and they're fine. You have the Tiger Beetle which is the fastest per size, if it was human size it'd run at 350mph. You have the Bombardier Beetle which can shoot boiling hot hydrogen peroxide like a Kamehameha out of it's ass.Imagine if instead of Spiderman you had Beetleman with the power of those Beetles. The strongest, fastest, invincible, flying, ass kamehameha-ing super hero.Also I didn't read your post, I just like Beetles.
>>77357959>edgelord>moderate intensity>healthier listed as the first benefit of liftingYou are either a crossfitter or you're 40 years old. Either way, you sound like a faggot
>muh normies
>>77357950Not only do I tell people I'm natty, I also say I dont even go to the gym and just do a few push ups and sit ups each morning.You can literally see their dyel souls leave their atrophied bodies.
>>77357950Some poor normie dyel clerk at Walgreens asked if I was a personal trainer the other day and I honestly replied that no, I just do around 3 days of lifting and 4 of cardio each week for a total of several hours and take a whole lot of supplements they don't even sell in Walgreens.
>>77357972>wanting other people to succeed makes you a faggotYou sound like a huge fucking faggot

>>77357983>>77357972>>77357990Excuse me niggers, this is a thread about beetles. Look at this beetle, it's called the Diabolical Ironclad beetle. He's really cool.Taxedermists can't even pin hi body in their collection because he's harder than iron and stronger. They need to use power tools.
This is the normal Ironclad Beetle. I really like his elytra. He looks like a cow tank. Imagine you're walking down the road and the cows looked like they had tank armor skin.
>>77357983Have you ever interacted with normies? If they can't get themselves to do 20 push ups, why do you think they would have the capacity to get their asses to gym regularly? Every attempt of helping a normie get fit ends up the same. You waste your time and they eventually quit. No, I don't push them too hard or go crazy about it.They think you're a maniac because you don't stop your sets at mild discomfort, and they get discouraged when they don't see the results instantly. They treat you like you're some kind of obsessed weirdo when you tell them you don't eat junk food and in order to lose weight you have to avoid sweets for a few months.If they really would want to get /fit/, they would do it themselves. All the information is out there and have been for years. They ask you how much you work out because they have a certain assumption of you and they want to prove themselves right. They wanna say "see? I told you! I'm too smart to go to the gym! There's no point anyways!">>77357994picrel for you
This is the Tiger Beetle. They have different colors and palettes, this palette is my favorite, the shiny green one. They move so fast they can't see and have to move in small bursts.https://youtu.be/ojMnlGGWV1o>>77358004Dung Beetles are so cool. Aside from the whole shit thing. 1141 times bodyweight pulls. I'd be able to pull 125 tons if I had their strength, that'd be neat. Imagine not needing cranes, like hey Joe don't worry I'll carry the steel beams up the skyscraper today don't worry about setting up the crane.
>>77357950"Zumba and 20 pushups before bed" is my go to
>>77357950>body builders in gym 8 hours a day mythhow does this happen? every local body builder cant go 1 hour in the gym, let alone over an hour phoneless, meanwhile powerlifters and weightlifters be camping in that bitch.
>>77358004>why do you think they would have the capacity to get their asses to gym regularlyBecause I'm not a terminally online larping faggot such as yourself. I'm a grad student that works with professionals in the field and I see people make real change in themselves on the daily. There is more to life than this place. But you wouldn't know that.
>>77358021based beetle enjoyer. Do you know anything about my mortal enemy, the colorado potato beetle?
>>77358097A little bit. Enlighten me anon.
>>77357969>Imagine if instead of Spiderman you had BeetlemanThere's Blue Beetle.
>>77358098They're an irritating fucking crop pest and they're not even smart or strong about it. They bumble around, ruin potatoes and gourds, and die to predators because they're fucking stupid. The only reason they're still around is because they lay a buncha eggs and develop immunity to insecticides incredibly quickly. Current management strategies include blackrock GMO crops and introducing mites and bacteria that eat their eggs specifically. I fucking hate potato beetles.
>>77357969>>77357950>>77358004>>77358021>>77357995>NO HUMAN CAN MATCH MY RELATIVE STRE -ACKKK
>>77357959This.
>>77358235see>>77357994>The diabolical ironclad beetle can withstand up to 39,000 times its own body weight and can easily survive being run over by a car. (You) couldn't kill this beetle and he weighs far below victim weight. What's your excuse?
>>77357959Reddit fag alert>>77357983>>77358078Normies don't deserve praise for doing the bare minimum. You don't deserve a trophy for going to the gym and doing a half assed workout.
>>77358250I have a gun
People hate the truth>wow anon you look so good these daysYeah I want to get abs need to drop ten more pounds>wtf you weigh less than me already>anon that's not okay>anon you don't need to do that???????So much fucking negativity.But if I lie and say I drank some kind of vegetable juice and slept better and just did extra crunches, that would be okay.I'm mostly mad because this came up at a party and people totally fucked up the fun vibe by trying to act like I had an eating disorder for not wanting to be fat.Next time I'll just lie and say I don't want to talk about it. I wish I was hateful enough to really be mean to these faggots but I actually like them.
>>77358260>Yeah I want to get abs need to drop ten more poundsWhy would you say that to a random person. Just say thanks lol
>>77358270It was family, and I abbreviated. They specifically asked me how my diet was going and how much longer I was going to do it.I was incredibly disappointed in their negativity and it ruined me mood for the rest of the evening because they wouldn't just let it go and let the subject change when I tried to move past it.>you weigh less than meIt was incredibly hard for me not to point out that, in that case, she was fat and admitting to it. So I had to be the better person and just take it on the chin. Fucking gains goblin feeders.
>>77358254Unironically I don't think think small bullets would kill it without armor piercing rounds.Yeah I just checked, AI agrees with that assessment even though Gemini is dogshit.
>>77357969it's easy to do that shit cause they're really small. if a tiger beetle was human size, it wouldn't come close to running 350mph.
>>77358365Say that to its face faggot
>>77358365I heard another estimation of 480.
>>77358021Can you post more beetles please.
>>77358743I wish I could, I'm taking my AED and CPR course right now. I should have been doing this for several days apparently and not at 2am when the test is tomorrow at 3pm :(
>>77357994I found a Grapevine beetle in my Monstera today
>>77357950The truth is more fun. >i work a remote job fulltime from home so I try to get some exercise every day. A bit of running or cycling, a bit of gym and sometimes rowing in the winter. That usually gets 3 types of reactions: >Denial: „I could never work full time from home, I like meeting people too much/Covid lockdowns were hard.“>Envy:“My employer only lets us work X days a week from home. I would love to workout more. >Excuses: „If I didn’t have to commute I would have more time to hit the gym“
>>77358759Based. What do you know about the grapevine beetle?
Based beetlebro. Keep posting.
>>77357950your fake routine would make better bodies than most people on this board
>>77357969That’s just becuse of the square-cube law bud.
>Normies are laughably pathetic and I'm really cool and superior and smart and edgy>But I'll also let them live rent free in my head and seethe about them constantly because I failed to "fit in" during my formative years>I now shall dwell in my own bitterness and defensive arrogance while writing made up scenarios in which I dunk on said normies on a dying website mainly composed of people as sad as me
Hey everyone I passed my CPR and AED course this morning. Also I still haven't read OP's thread. Did you guys know in Japan they catch Rhinoceros Beetles with sugary goods and have them fight like Pokemon in an arena?
>>77359798>the bar in nutrition, physical activity or doing ANYTHING consistently is very low, which is a fact>get so /fit/ you get asked about working out on a regular basis>some DYEL doesn't believe you because he gets no mires>DYEL projects his insecurities onto me>DYEL thinks it's a made up scenario because again, no one asked him that everMany such cases.
>>77357950I usually say "some push-ups here and there and do some push-ups when I walk past the pull-up bar at the park" and change the subject as quickly as possible don't really wanna get better at fitness, they just wanna yap about it, I ain't got time for other people's yapping.
>>77357959based
>>77358252no one was talking about trophies, schizo
>>77360941That's right. No one is here to talk about trophies, we're here to talk about Beetles.
>>77357950Tell them an abbreviated version of the truth. Keep it short. Talking about hard things actually decreases motivation to do them. Ex.Bro you look strong/jackedDo you workout ?Thanks man, yea I’m trying to lose weight so I’m working out out twice a week.That’s great manI already lost 6 lbs this monthThat’s pretty good manDid you just work out or are you also eating clean too. Yea I’m eating healthier too6 lbs per month is coolKeep it up (thumbs up)>>77358260You’re so right.But to be honest, I do that to people tooThe reason why is because it usually has the opposite effect on peopleReal ExampleI work part time as an aid for a developmentally stunted 30yr old guyOne of his goals is to lose weight,So I (and sometimes the other aids) take help him to pick higher protein foods and take him to the gym three times a week So after he’s been running on the treadmill for 20 minutes, I tell him wow man already 20 minutes. He’s like yea . I say you already did 20 minutes in a row without break You can go slow if you want man. And he’s like no, I’m Okay And then runs for 10 more minutesAnd then I come back again and sayIt’s already been half an hour and you’re still runningYou’re a beast man that’s crazyThat’s enough thoughAnd he’s like no I’m OK. I’m just gonna run a little bit more.And he runs for 10 more minutesThe other development aids tell me he usually he just does about 20 minutes of walk jogging when they take him.
>>77357950I mostly tell fat women that i dont do diets and i eat large amounts of food in front of them just to make them go in mental breakdowns.
>>77362513you gut mogged by a retard lol
>>77358284>"anon you look great">they were being so negative and killed the vibejesus you're insecure. you stupid retard. OI.
>>77362947Who's a cute wittle anonymous poster? You are! You're so adorable. I'm going to pinch your cheeks :3Pop quiz: how did those compliments make you feel?
I remember seeing a documentary about a type of beetle that has the female wait for mates up high on a tree, and the males fight each other off as they climb up. Eventually the strongest one reached the female, fucked her, and then he yeeted her off the tree right afterwards, based af lol
>>77362832If I’m checking up on him every 10 or so minutes what do you think I’m doing in the meantime? 40 minutes of running is impressive for an overweight beginner— I take some pride that I’ve helped him push past 20 minutesBut it should go without saying that I’m not simply staring at him. I run with him for 10 minutes with him and then I’m doing sets of 275lbs x 5 squat and dumbbell 70lb x 5 bench at a wiry 165lbs. I’m a strong bug :)
Bumping the thread, because I want beetle anon to post more
>>77357950Anyone else stop answering fitness questions?I refuse to tell people what I weigh (193lbs)I won't tell them my height (6ft5in)I won't tell them my workouts or diet.Refuse to tell them I wear 30x36 jeansDefinitely will not tell them my BF% (11.4%)It always causes problems.Apparently every dude is 200+ lbs even short king 5ft4 dudes.They get mad I don't work out that much to get my results.Or they can't believe I weigh nearly 200lbs when they think I'm 160lbs.It's all so tiresome
I tell them to drink cum as it has the best amino acids
>>77358745BOOBS!
>>77363426>Flexing not even 3pl8 squats>Flexing victim weightPlease dude.
