Anyone feel kind of pathetic that people have come on IST, started lifting, made it, stopped lifting and moved on with life.....while you still haven't made it and still seem light years away from making it?
Im specifically talking about Adie (pic related) here.
I was on IST before him, lifting before him, tracking all my diet, macros calories etc. Then Adie comes along, claims he eats "clean" and does a really moronic bro split and builds a solid physique, makes it, gets a GF, then disappears.
And Im still here, still looking like shit, nothings changed. While this part of Adie's life on IST and lifting is literally just a closed chapter in his life.
This is like school all over again.
(Btw this isn’t mean to be demoralisation, I’m mainly critiquing myself)
Yeah, you’re a loser circus freak and you fail at everything you start. Even the average IST troglodyte is better than you. Is that what you wanted to hear?
>projecting this hard
You already made this thread, frick off loser
>no proof shown
Ok? Lol
I wasn’t really calling adie moronic, but back in the day he never took lifting seriously and rewuentlt did random brosplirs hw found online, yet he still mogs your average fitizen. He just had good genetics
A random brosplit is almost foolproof gains. It's actually difficult to make it not adhere to all the principles of hypertrophy.
>projecting
OP is a homosexual
No, you just feel that way bc you’re one of the gymcel manlets he’s discussing kek
Big if true. Did you make it? Your post in OP sort of implies you’re blackpilled about genetics so interesting to see you’re still here
Did you make it
I wouldn’t say I made it, but I am generally the most muscular guy at my gym, I still look bad compared to Zyzz or something, but I actually have muscle on my frame now compared to before when I just dogmatically ran full body routines. Brosplit added a ton of size to my shoulders, arms, traps, chest, etc. The only thing full body routines did for me was grow my legs well, but they sucked for everything else. The brosplits actually got my upper body to develop.
Uh oh, the forever gymcels are getting rowdy!
Yeah, all the fakecels come and go but the manlet gymcels are left here to wither away. There's no gym for height or face, in the end of the day
I started having sex and got a gf and I still post here so: consider your post disproven
Let me get this straight. His split is moronic but you look like shit?
You do this thread every other day man. That's what's pathetic about you.
Proof?
Wait… did you just seriously copy paste this thread that I made like 5 years ago?
Anyone reading this, I actually made this post word for word 5 years ago or so
I’m actually surprised to see it all these years later
OP, why did you wait so long to post this? Have you had it saved for 5 years? Or did this become a screenshot on Reddit from 5 years ago and you just discovered it recently?
I’m genuinely interested in how you came about copy pasting a thread I made so long ago.
For those of you who are wondering, I made the OP post 5 years ago or so, and I’ll say now, I ended up going on a brosplit and my gains have improved dramatically. I was running full body routines for a solid decade wondering why all this Brosplitters looked better than me, turns out full body is trash despite what the internet says
This. I feel for the full body meme because of Steve Reeves but I think a lot of people make better gains on bro splits.
i dont remember this from five years ago but im 1000% Sure ive Seen pre Covid and Not since then, i thought i was tripping but i dont Take drugs, its not like this is a established copypasta afaik, but now that i think about the fact ITS almost 2024 it was probably almost five years ago
I’ve seen this exact post before in /fit so it’s not unique for it to be posted again
Yeah but I come here daily and I haven’t seen my post here at all, this is the first time I’ve seen it reposted and I posted it years ago
>Yeah but I come here daily and I haven’t seen my post here at all, this is the first time I’ve seen it reposted and I posted it years ago
link to the archive, please
Theres a troony demoralizer discord who just looks through the archive for shit like this to repost constantly
For what purpose?
Also post screenshots if you have them.
>For what purpose?
perhaps theres a way we can help them
they too can be free and redeem themselves.
The consensus is divided between posting statements of reason in their threads like we're doing now and ignoring them completely.
full body as in doing all the compounds on the same day, or full body that includes accessories? Im of opinion that full body is the best possible mode of lifting, provided you churn out sets like crazy, of any kind
interesting
Based, wagmi
OP has made this thread a few times in the past few weeks (/months?)
Which is intensely pathetic of him
Presumably a discord demoraliser troony, part of the group that make all the LULZ threads on here
When I read that post I thought like 'hey, that's possible as I wasn't here 2015-2016.' Then I rembered 5 years ago was 2018-2019. Frick. Me.
I thought I had posted it about 5 years ago, but that Archive goes back to April 2016…. Almost 8 years…
Shits fricked
I know it’s my post because of the pen license shit. Yes I was the last kid in my class to get a pen license and they only gave it to me on the last day of school after everyone else had got it early in the year lol
nobody knows what a pen license is
I don’t know if they do it now but back in the 1990s at the primary school I went to, you had to earn a “pen license” to start using a pen instead of a pencil, it was in like grade 3 I think they did this.
Basically everyone else in my grade switched from pencil to pen within the first month of the year, but I was not allowed to use a pen at all due to my poor writing (so it could be rubbed out and redone) and then my teacher waited until the last day of the year to give me the “pen license” to be able to write with a pen
So for the entire year I was using a pencil and everyone else was using pens
>having to have a loicence is some stupid ass brit derived culture shit
wow, whod'a thunk it.
I do, it’s an Aussie thing
Tbh it kinda ruins it for me that the OG poster “made it” he sounds like a Fakecel 🙁
This post sorta leans towards genetic determinism / blackpill Shit so no wonder I saw it on looksmax board
Also, one anon admitted he has a bot that randomly cycles thru top replied threads going back to 2016 and posts one day. I’ve seen oldgay threads about Tiny, Scooby going up etc.. it’s probably that. Just one bored anons bot
I didn’t make it physically, I look way better on a brosplit than I ever did on a full body, but I still look like shit compared to an aesthetics bro lifter
I made it financially though.
>I made it financially though.
i look terrible, havent worked in almost 10 years but i have a wife almost 10 years younger than me with an insane body who makes a lot of money.
is this one of those "you can only have 1" things
Also where did you see it on looksmax?
I tried searching there but I can’t find shit, and I’d prefer not to register
Nope I literally made the OP post a long time ago, I’m pretty sure it was pre-covid too, hence why I guesstimate about 5 years ago. I am just shocked/surprised that someone had saved it for all this time and only posted it now. Like… did this post save it then disappear for years and come back today? Or like I asked before, was my thread screenshotted and posted on Reddit back then without my knowledge and the OP found it recently?
Just trying to figure out he logistics of how this ended up being a copy paste years later.
Yeah I think the issue is when you do full body you have only 1 chance or so per session to stimulate said muscle group, so if you don’t do it, you don’t stimulate, but if you do a brosplit you to like 5-6-7-8 lifts for the 1 muscle group, so it’s hard to frick it up when you cover so many bases on the single muscle group in regards to stimulation
This post is (well yours if it is) is a pinned thread on the looksmax forums and looksmax.co about genetics, gay OP probably is a loomism gay and copy pasted it here for attention
But yeah, it’s a pinned thread on looksmaxx
Lmao really, can you link it? Hahahah that’s hilarious, how long has it been there? Also it is a screenshot of my old post or is it just a copy paste of the text? I want to know exactly how long ago it was when I posted it lmao.
I made it in crypto but that’s another “made it”. I am still what one could consider “blackpilled” as I am pretty negative about everything in life due to experiences but the crypto shit actually changed me a little, I originally lost 6 figures in crypto and it basically confirmed my negative bias in life, but I came back to make mid 7 figures from crypto and it changed my perspective on life in some ways, that maybe it’s not always over…
Did you make it Anon? Or are you still blackpilled.
Your post is immortalised on looksmaxx.org
>Yeah I think the issue is when you do full body you have only 1 chance or so per session to stimulate said muscle group, so if you don’t do it, you don’t stimulate, but if you do a brosplit you to like 5-6-7-8 lifts for the 1 muscle group, so it’s hard to frick it up when you cover so many bases on the single muscle group in regards to stimulation
Gains are made by putting enough tension on your muscles to trigger a hypertrophy response. It has to be done in a short enough time frame ie. in one day ie. the brosplit. But full body wishful thinkers read a study about mps and think that changes anything at all even though you could be in a constant state of mps just by repairing your muscles to their original state every day without ever hypertrophying them.
Yeah I was all about the MPS and triggering MPS all the time to keep it going
But MPS doesn’t matter if you don’t actually trigger stimulation of a muscle.
The analogy I use is as follows
Doctor says you need 50mg of a drug once per week
You decide to think taking 7mg per day will work out better than taking 50mg once a week
You ignore the doctor and start taking 7mg per day instead of 50mg once a week
The 7mg per day you take isn’t a high dose to do anything and your body expels most of it causing you to receive no benefit from the drug
The logic of spreading the dose out makes sense, but in reality it changes the way your body responds, this particular drug requires a heavy dose for the body to respond to it
Not sure if that made any sense
>if you don’t actually trigger stimulation of a muscle
how much work or how many sets does it take to trigger stimulation of a muscle?
It's hard to say. There's not a 100% precise system but I like the effective rep theory wherein the last 5 reps of a set to failure are what you count and you should need somewhere between 5 and 20 of them per muscle group.
This exact thread has been reposted several times. The earliest instance I see is from April 2016. https://desuarchive.org/fit/thread/36762515/
I POSTED IT IN APRIL 2016???????
WHAT THE FRICK JESUS CHRIST WHERE DOES THE TIME GO
I think it's automations. My theory is that IST is indeed "dead" as in it's real unique visitor count is like 1/10 of what's claimed
And whoever the current owner is, they need to sell ads or motivate lurkers to reply and start posting which enables data mining or for whatever reason. They are spamming the boards with controversial and provocative threads.
It's actually incredibly easy to do, too:
1. Crawl the archives for 300+ post threads
2. Post
3. Enable automated replies by bots to bump the thread and turn on engagement
I like the discord demoralizer troony theory too but I think the more realistic is the one above.
>tfw hiro is farming us for exp
I strongly suggest that anyone who wants to progress in life leave things like IST behind.
It feels insane, because it's basically the only way I interact with people. I've noticed this site has become nonsense over the last two years, though. People constantly try to argue and can't offer any cogent argument.
I just use is sparingly, like an hour a day tops. It's fun. Probably not a good idea to make it your only social env
see ^
Impossible bro if it's so addictive for me and I can't leave this place for over a decade and despite wasting the entirety of my 20s here (34 now) then surely there are others just like me.
Just because moot managed to abandon this shithole that was his baby and move on doesn't mean I'm the only one still stuck here right haha.
Anyone got the link to looksmax?
What were his stats in after pic?
I was on IST in 2011, I never made it because my testosterone is 190ng/dL.
the problem with you people is that you never grow the frick up
you're what, 30, 40, whatever, and still comparing yourself to others. you learn to stop doing that from a young age. you're still just a child
it's all about other people to you. it's the guy that makes it, it's the GF you don't have... you never do things for you, it's never about you
that's why you all are never going to make it
well nevermind what i just said here
wtf kinda moronation is that lmao
I'm happily married so already consider having 'made it', I uust come here for gym tips and banter.
not everyone comes here because they're a kiss less virgin
>moronic bro splits
as a 40 year old guy I have to just outright laugh that you have reasoned yourself out of the method of working out that makes you look like you lift weights.
>b-but i can squat and deadlift so much!!
lol, rectangle boy
Anon, lift cause you love the process no other reason. I know the feel of being left behind though in a different context. All you can do is keep working on yourself especially why you have not yet what you want / need.
i hate lifting though
Then stop. It’s just a hobby nothing else. Move on you filthy copy pasta poster
I'm usually no longer posting on IST but since I'm on holiday and bored I came to check it out. I replied to a 'Japanese gf 2014' thread in December 2013 and met my japanese wife in September 2014. Been married since 2018. I also posted in 'Chinese gf 2014' 'Korean gf 2014' and 'Taiwanese gf 2014' threads back then and in previous years as well. Probably going back to 2012.
Just posting itt to give you guys hope. We're all gonna make it.
>Bwo made his fetish a reality
good job
That’s my goal body
Give me 1-2 more years
