Does anyone else feel like going to the gym is not special anymore, more of like a requirement honestly, not really special to tell anyone you go to the gym. Since everyone does it is not as valuable.
Valuable how? As a tool to increase your perceived value as a man and attract vapid hoes like pic related?
Yeah that is one reason, although I think anyone that goes to the gym for that reason will be disciplined but dissapointed. It seems to me 5 or 10 years ago the gym was a niche thing and now its such a basic activity
>the gym was a niche thing
No it wasn't you fricking homosexual. Although there are trends. Everybody was hitting the gym in the 80's for example.
>Everybody was hitting the gym in the 80's for example.
No they weren't. That's like saying everyone was breakdancing in the 80's. It was just a highly publicised new phenomenon.
>That's like saying everyone was breakdancing in the 80's.
Are you telling me we were lied to?!
>vapid hoes
Going from no hoes to vapid hoes seems like a major upgrade though
frfr, ppl will shame for being an incel but then also shame you for getting some hoes
Are cuckservatives still waiting for their virgin wifes?
>virgins don't exist
Maybe if you didn't spend so much time simping for art hoes in universities or twitch streamers you'd know where to look lmao, lol
they really don't exist tho, unless you mean like girls in muslim countries or incel guys
you should have married your highschool sweetheart, now it's over
why would a poor homie(white) from the streets like me have a highschool sweetheart?
Did they not have high schools in the hood or something? They should, considering every other public HS's standard was lowered to your level for the sake of equity.
Marriage is BETA AF. Low test.

You clearly have not met normalgays.
I live in Miami. Most people here go to the gym and at least half of the people are roided up. A muscular physique doesn't make you stand out. I understand that you may have your viewpoint if you live in some Bible belt state or in the 3rd world, but in the real world it's competitive.
>only my shithole city is the real world
It's not only Miami. Pretty much any major city in Florida has the same feeling. I won't complain as much though, because you're guaranteed to have common ground with anyone you meet when you start talking about the gym.
I remember going on a school trip to miami and within 10 minutes of leaving the airport we saw a black lady get robbed under a highway lmao your city is modern day gomorrah
indeed
>Most people here go to the gym and at least half of the people are roided up.
"The rate of obesity and overweight adults in the county is 67.4%."
Yeah uh huh
BMI is a flawed measurement for obesity. Don't forget that most of the population are immigrants from Cuba.
>BMI is a flawed measurement for obesity.
Everytime I hear that excuse it's ALWAYS some fat-ass looking for an excuse. FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BIG MUSCLY DUDES IT HOLDS TRUE YOU FRICKING FATASS. AND BIG DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN MUSCLE EITHER. AND BEING BIG AND MUSCLY DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN YOU'RE NOT ALSO OBESE WITH ALL THE HEALTH CO-MORBIDNESS AND RISKS THAT GO ALONG WITH IT. FRICK YOU FATTY. THE BMI IS FINE FOR EVERYDAY USE AND JUDGEMENT.
based. 98% of obese people by BMI are obese. 1.5% are merely overweight athletic people
I have a BMI of 25 and I’m not overweight, but I’ve been working out on and off for about 9 years. Most people who say their BMI doesn’t reflect their body fat percentage are coping.
most people are dyel, even still going to the gym doesn't make you a special cookie
>most people are dyel
Because they go to a gym and do meme routines with meme diets instead of playing a sport.
nope. social media has warped your perception of most people. go outside. most people are skinny,pudgy or overweight. if anything LESS people are going to the gym and obesity is increasing
good
more people for me to mog
Everybody is talking about fitness these days, working 3 times a week seem to be standard for normies. Everybody is probably doing SS and GOMAD, just look at this graph.
this might seem moronic but its possible that both obesity and fit bods are rising, and theres less average people walking around, either fricking whales or gym hitters
Most likely. Extremes are raising, fat people are getting fatter, fit people are getting fitter. Also social media bias our perception of society. But normies don't stick with the gym for a long time, they are just talking about it. I'm not worried of getting mogged by normies yet.
what’s good homie
yeah, i think there is also a lot of people that say they go to the gym but only go like once a month so not enough to do anything, just get in there for social media/to feel like and say that they go to the gym
3 days of lifting a week is perfectly fine to look big to normals, obviously it isn't going to make you look like a pro lifter but it'll bulk you up to the point people will think you're in shape. Remember the average normie thinks Brad Pitt in fightclub was big
do people think he was big from that, consensus to me has been that he had an amazing physique in that film
he was lean but not big, eating clean and 3 days of calisthenics would give you that physique if you started from skinny
Wearing gym clothes doesn't mean people are actually going to the gym.
agree gymflation is a thing. number of extremely fit people is way higher. but the decline of the general
population more than offsets that. in the gym im dyel. in the world (midwest hellhole), im 95th percentile. if youre going after fitness girls, the standard is insane. regular people, its gotten easier
Most people look like shit.
I dont care if they go to the gym , take steroids,diuretics,whatever,they look like crap.
The point is having a muscular and lean physique is still top 10% , even higher if you are really muscular.
Fat,Skinny-Fat,Skelly,Dyel and Obese thats whats common
Muscular and shredded? How many fricking muscular and shredded young men do you see on a daily basis? 1/10 if you are lucky!
This is the gayest post I’ve seen today. Man, this board is just roidtroony heaven now.
Sounds like you go to the gym for the wrong reasons. Maybe fa or lgbt would be better boards for you; they like to feel special and unique.
Gym is common, really good results are not, you absolute fattard
>my small social circle I met at the gym all workout and have nice bodies wtf this must be everybody
>t.moronic ass op who is also a homosexual
just give up dude, go the other way. everyone is shredded and muscular, be fat and sloppy and smelly.
im sure you can calculate the roi on eating pizza and cake all day.
what a fricking homosexual.
>using the term "roi" on IST
>calling other people homosexuals
oh boy
>Since everyone does it is not as valuable.
i was poking fun of OP's mentality here you mongoloid moron
>i dont feel special going to the gym anymore
what kind of thread is this?
>Since everyone does it is not as valuable.
Stop breathing air anon, everyone's doing it.
I know everyone doesn't go but in the US 20% of americans have a gym membership. None of them are doing SS though stop with that shit. I stopped going to gyms and started working out at the park with rings and a dip belt because regular gyms feel like Walmart now. I never want to see a tripod again.
Also, ring dips and shit filter roiders so that's a point of pride for me. You take some shit that blows up your muscle size by 20lbs while on cycle you can't lift that shit up.
It’s always hilarious how delusional you people are; you’re as bad as OP - only wanting to do niche stuff so that you feel special. Like when hipsters discovered IPA.
I say delusional because it doesn’t filter anyone other than those who haven’t done it for long enough to acquire the skill and mobility to do it. That’s how specificity training works.
And I say this as someone who exclusively uses rings for pull ups, dips and leg raises.
>he goes to the gym for other people
ngmi homosexual
People like you who think this way, are unironically the reason as to why you feel the way you do lol.
What makes you special is who you are as a person and your unique outlook on life... not going to the gym which has always been a very popular hobby, you just receive a lot more exposure because of social media but gyms were always full, even before you and I were born.
I list cooking and lifting as hobbies on my dating profile, though they feel more like obligations.
That said, the alternative is eating out and not lifting like most the other soibodied losers online, so you may as well
I'm going to say that half of 18+ year old zoomers lift [at least occasionally, not that most of them look like it]. Lifting is super mainstream and if you want to compete on Tinder, you need to lift
I look down on men who don't lift. Pathetic.
>I need to feel unique and special
Time to be a troony, you fricking homosexual.
I hate women so fricking much and it's entirely because of my own failings. I accept I'm entirely at fault with no hope to seriously change. Yet this confession provides no catharsis and my hatred shall remain cast into an all consuming void.
It mostly comes from how you were raised. Go to therapy (a non pozzed one if you can), it's helped me a lot.
My brother is successful with women having over 100 bed partners and like 4 girlfriends. I'm 24 khv and i honestly don't know what to do differently. I literally don't know where i can even find women and i tried dancing. The few girls i do get to text or talk to are immediately not interested or scared of me. I simply can't function in this culture
Chicks can sense if you hate yourself, and you clearly do. Again, go to therapy, talk through your self hatred and you'll become more confident in yourself, which is 95% of what attracts chicks to men.
No matter if you're a chiseled demigod or a fatbody, if a women sees you don't have the inner strength to provide, she'll have no interest in you.
Tips on finding a non-pozzed one?
Search specifically for Christian therapists.
No matter your beliefs, they will a) actually discourage sexual degeneracy (usually) which is a bulk of the causes/symptoms of mental illness, and b) try to find a solution avoiding pharms.
>sexual degeneracy is the bulk reason for mental illness
this has to be the most moronic thing ive read today
I didn't say reason, now did I friend?
Are you upset that you don't feel as special as you want to? Do people not praise you enough and give you accolades? You wish everyone you knew acknowledged how great you think you are, and the fact that nobody cares that you go to the gym means that everyone else who goes to the gym is ruining it for you by making you unremarkable and commonplace by association?
Anon we've had 14 years of non-stop economic growth since 2009 on a global scale, we live in a period of unprecedented prosperity which since 2021 has actually trickled down to consumer spending, wage growth, bank savings etc.
This isn't normal and is unlikely to be replicated, economic cycles are not supposed to last this long.
Enjoy the good times while it lasts
My Black person what
