>>77362804The image draws a stark contrast between the man's relatively developed arm musculature and the destitution of his surroundings in order to highlight the strangeness of his thinking. Is now really the time to be prioritizing his fitness, when everything else in his life appears to be falling apart around him? His once healthy interest in training his body has turned into a negative fixation that causes him to ignore his other apparently real problems.
It was January three weeks ago
>>77362804Based
>>77362809It really do be like that>marriage falling apart>deep in debt about to go bankrupt>behind on years worth of paperwork>project deadline looming at work>oh yeah baby>time for a new squat PB
>>77362809>he is not destroying his body in pursue to get his hands of new (((product)))fuck off jew.
>>77363192Fuck off, ESL.
>>77362804how can i achieve that body as a nattyis around 80kg or less?
>>77362809Also, keep in mind that this is the 70s, America is close to peaking, and he got a gorgeous woman to go on a date with him just by accosting her at her job and giving her the ol' firm handshake, despite being a manlet and an embarrassing karate otaku. This man cannot suffer. So he creates suffering in his mind by day drinking and fucking with his circadian rhythm. I've noticed both taxi driver and fight club both use the excuse of "sleeplessness" which is just pathologized baby shit of wah wah I no go my bedtime. The message is clear that when life is good, men will...revert into babies, unable to sleep properly and unable to stop suckling on a bottle.
>>77362804I climbed into my flat through a window, does that count as a pullup?>>77363190Gotta take the small victories where you can, but I'm sorry to hear about the marriage issue, must suck my man.>>77363515>70's Newyork and USA>Close to peakingAre you dumb? USA peaked immediately Post-war, and by the 70's, was hit with huge recession and didn't pickup again till the late 80's/early 90s.>manletI never realised what a Manlet he really is. He looked tall when I was a kid, I guess everyone in meet the fockers were all 5'5" or less.
>>77362809He's just poor
>>77363565>Are you dumb?No, if you suffered at all during that time, you were asleep at the wheel. >and didn't pickup again till the late 80's/early 90s.Like what I said, the US is close to peaking at the time.
>>77362809This is literally my life
>>77362809literally, unironically me.
>>77363515Both movies are about becoming a homosexual and the tribe around said homosexuals. They have nothing to do with being a "man".
>>77363656They're all about being homosexual and they're shoehorned unnaturally anywhere men congregate.
>>77362809Physical excellence precedes all other forms of excellence, without a body, one cannot act. Without an excellent body, one cannot act excellently.Transitive property.
>>77363586It was a period of fast economic stagnation and job losses, it was not anywhere near 'peak', and the 90's were not 'Peak' either, just a period they managed to recover fairly well in.That period is only idolised by Millenials and Zoomies because it reminds them of childhood or they glorify their parents era from hearing their nostalgia pushed onto them.The real time USA was the economic powerhouse and had the BEST equality in distribution of wealth was the 50s/60s.
>>77363656>>77363673Fightclub the film was great, the book was a little boring, but I loved how he wrote in his afterword that people accused him of writing gay fanfiction, to which he scoffed at only to come out as gay some years later.
>>77364029>fast economic stagnation and job losses Buddy walks onto a job site and gets a job with a firm handshake. Peak and it was only getting better. One might even call it "kino" >That period is only idolised by Millenials and ZoomiesThe movie is not from my time lol. My childhood was the last death gurgle of America during the 00s entering into the 2010s and I entered adulthood during the pestilence >The real time USA was the economic powerhouse and had the BEST equality in distribution of wealth was the 50s/60s.Perhaps. >>77364041Fightclub was great in the sense that a pile of dogshit in your yard in the summer heat is great
>>77364043So you were born in what retarded zoomers call 'Peak' when actually it was far from it, and America was already 70% non-white, with awful disparity of wealth which came thanks to the 1970s - google What happened in 1971.The film came out in 1999 and the book was 1996.>Fightclub was great in the sense that a pile of dogshit in your yard in the summer heat is greatIt was fun and embodied the mindset of the time you call 'peak'.
>>77364041People really love posting this but not what Chuck has actually said about Fight Club. His stories are just stories and he enjoys seeing what people get out of them. His point wasn't to moralfag, it was just to tell a story. He finds it interesting what men took away from it more than anything.
>>7736351570s new york was a bankrupt shithole, things didn't start getting good again here til the 90s
>>77364158Death of the author. This is like saying Tolkiens experiences of war had no impact on his writing because he said so, but it is undeniable.
>>77364152>So you were born in what retarded zoomers call 'Peak' when actually it was far from it,No, the peak would have been the 80s and 90s, I was born in 00
>>77364160If you can walk onto a jobsite and get a job with a firm handshakeAnd walk into a building and get a date with a firm handshakeThen your city is not a shithole
>>77364174Except that's what he's actually said about his writing.
>>77364041alpha males are gay
>>77362804>50 pullups and 50 pushups every morningNot really optimal. Going to get joint and injury overuse issues eventually.Rest days are good. Should have started doing weighted pullups instead 2 times a week and one session with no weight. Heavy , medium, and light. Alternating grips every couple months. Travis had an suboptimal workout routine which eventually led to his psychosis.
>>77363616>>77363648don't get confused about your own thoughts and those of some idiot with a keyboard
>>77362804You filthy animal.
>>77362809Is he supposed to drink instead I don't get it. Everyone needs something to cope with.Am I meant to completely drop things that decrease stress until everything gets miraculously figured out? You don't just flip a switch you know.
