The goal of exercise is to have a functional, multi-purpose body that will allow you to do whatever you want.
You should be able to go play any sport, join a mma gym, take part in a marathon, or basically do anything else and count on your conditioning to give you a leg up and to make sure you will not run into strength, cardio or coordination problems, injuring or making a fool out of yourself.
Anything past this, is entirely superfluous.
Think about this in the long term, what kind of life do you want? One where you can break the routine by joining a new hobby, challenge yourself, meet new people, eat whatever you want, do fun things, and feel healthy/strong/energized the entire time, or a life where you're stuck in a miserable high-maintenance gym routine, eating awful bland food so you can increase your bench a little bit and impress other men?
Exercise should open doors to you, not confine you to a prison of your own making.
Think about this rationally after you calm down.

I just want to make the sad voices go away for a few hours a day.
yeah thats why i train hard, do compounds AND isos and also cardio, stretching , muscle fascia release, rebalancing muscular imbalances etc.
moron
All muscle is functional, you dumb Black person twink. If it weren't, we wouldn't have it
not what it means moron. a big bodybuilder with cloud tumors all over his body and can't run 0.1miles without passing out is not a functional human. maybe his bicep functions to curl his arm, but his entire physique and build does not function in any way other than
>lift some weight in a controlled environment on a bar
>take a 5 minute break because out of breathe
that's not "functional"
>a big bodybuilder with cloud tumors all over his body and can't run 0.1miles without passing out is not a functional human.
That's an exaggeration that you use to cope with. They'd mog your ass in everything but high endurance shit i.e. running long distance. In a fight they'd just slam you on the pavement
i'm sure they would
They would lol. You actually think you'd have a shot against say prime ronnie coleman? He was a cop btw so he probably had to handle a few physical confrontations too
comparing me to ronnie coleman wouldn't be a good comparison.
me vs some 250lb pure bodybuilder i'd imagine i can hold my own. probably just keep distance until he gasses and trip him. pure gym bb'ers don't move like atheletes. they move like bloated blobs who can't even reach their back
If you wanna compare brock lesnar compare him to some Leon Edwards, peak George st piere, peak anderson silva. all are ~180lbs or less. i'd put my money on the 180lb fighters vs the 300lb ronnie.
It's not that easy as you think to "grab and slam" a person that knows how to drop their weight and punch you in the face
at the same time big bloated tumor masses tend to not really throw good punches
NTA
>comparing me to ronnie coleman wouldn't be a good comparison
Yeah because he'd kill you without trying
>me vs some 250lb pure bodybuilder i'd imagine i can hold my own
He weighed 320 pounds in the offseason
>probably just keep distance until he gasses and trip him
Lol
>pure gym bb'ers don't move like atheletes
Ronnie was athletic on top of being gym strong though
>you wanna compare brock lesnar compare him to some Leon Edwards, peak George st piere, peak anderson silva. all are ~180lbs or less. i'd put my money on the 180lb fighters vs the 300lb ronnie
Why are you comparing Brock Lesner one second and then immediately bringing Ronnie back in the next? You'd lose your money being taking that bet btw
>It's not that easy as you think to "grab and slam" a person that knows how to drop their weight and punch you in the face
Against someone remotely the same size and strength as you, yeah. But when you're facing someone who is more gorilla than man the rules aren't as clear cut
>at the same time big bloated tumor masses tend to not really throw good punches
You've never been punched by one of them if you think this
t. former fighter
In summary, you're an idiot. Commit sepuku at your earliest convenience
i'm a 185 hobbyist fighter, which is why i say it's not comparable to put me against the top 0.00001% global champion bodybuilder who also happens to be a cop.
that's not what we're talking about
i've fought plenty of bb'ers who come into our gym, 240-260lbs and they literally ALL gas no matter the activity, BJJ, wrestling, muay thai. they start getting red and panting for air. they're also slow as frick and heavy on their feet.
I just kick the shit out of their legs for a few mins before moving in and they throw wide haymakers sure they impact hard through my guard but they never land solid or accurate and it's always slow.
to compare someone to ronnie you should put him against another top 0.0001% 100+lb lighter figher. which is why i suggested some 180lb fighters.

Why make up some useless story that no one believes?
you punch from your legs hips and back. not with your giant bloated arms
What's that got to do with the fact you've made up some bullshit about you beating up body builders?
bro i used to powerlift + oly lift. I can throw insane power from my hips, but once i stepped into an mma gym i was quickly humbled by how bad my cardio was, and i used to run plenty and sprint up a hill on a fixed gear with weight
It's is EXHAUSTING being light on your feet and moving around. literally 30 seconds of moving around another person trying to kick and punch you will gas most people, ESPECIALLY big puffy cloud muscles.
Nothing against BB'ers but to think they can fight real fighters, even ones who only trained 2-3 years is just funny.
have you ever been MT kicked in the thigh? BB's 100% would not be able to check a kick. within 3 kicks I can have most people flinching their legs and unable to keep up the pace
Again, who cares? They aren't training to fight so their muscles are entirely functional. Just because your ego is tied into pretending you're a trained fighter doesn't mean anyone elses is.
Just wondering,would directly training the toes help with being light on your feet?
Just jump rope and run at varying paces
1 unchecked kick to the side of knee and your bb'er is literally limping
Ya because the same doesn't go for you, huh? Also it's funny when you twinks compare yourselves to untrained BB when they can learn some basic techniques i.e. it's not mutually exclusive and doesn't take much time. You want to pretend weight classes mean jack shit which is dumb as hell
My original statement was that BB'ers are not athletic. they can merely lift a barbell slowly in a controlled environment. give them even some weight in a odd asymetric shape and all those poofy muscles start becoming p4p not "functional" or athletic
One time I helped this christian chick move giant long church pews . i invited my friend who is a powerlifter and can squat 550, and deadlift 600+. I was able to pickup and move the pews at a significantly higher rate than him and not gas at all. he moved 2-3 and needed breaks in between constantly. that's what functional means.
As for larping about being a pro fighter, i'm not OP. someone else came in and said "a giant bodybuilder would beat the frick out of you and slam you to the floor." which i merely refuted
>My original statement was that BB'ers are not athletic.
No what you said is that they weren't functional. Now you're moving the goal posts and trying to claim you meant something different to what you actually said.
functional athletic whatever. the point is I never claimed a bb'ers muscles don't allow him to fight. or that i would beat up any ronnie coleman. someone else came in and used the fighting .
my original point still stands that pound for pound the 340lb ronnie isn't effecient with his muscle, nor typically functional. a STRONGMAN is more functional than a bb'er. and a crossfitter is more functional than all of the above
>nor typically functional
the cope on this guy
No, it's not whatever. There is a clear delineation between the two. Functional can be whatever you want it to mean. Go compete in a body building contest and then tell me how functional your muscles are now
the bb'ers who come in , they don't know how to be light on the feet. they are heavy on the front foot. all their 250lbs of weight on a leg when they move in. one kick and it buckles that leg
>kick their legs for a few minutes
Don't even need to go that far
The average heavy weight gets rekt by half a dozen leg kicks
They are also completely gassed out within 2 minutes
I never understood the frame slash weight worship.
The taller and fatter they are the easier they are to beat. They have zero stamina. OFC in rings they win but in real life you can run from them and once they are tired you just beat them. Simple as.
Agree with this.
Look at Bob Sapp. He was awful fighter but his size alone allowed him to smash tons and tons of people.
Only really top tier superfighters seemed to dispatch this gorilla with ease, but they are superfighters, i.e. no way near average human
>me vs some 250lb pure bodybuilder i'd imagine i can hold my own.
This delusional twink actually thinks he could take on prime ronnie coleman
LMFAOOOOOO frick I can tell you've never been in a real fight
not same guy but I am five foot four 145 lbs. Prime Coleman is a joke he has no stamina I keep my distance and once he is too tired I finish him off. You think these fat fricks can do shit to small Chads? They win every single time in the ring cause we are forced to tackle them head on like we are dumbasses. In the street with no weapons they are fricking DEAD. You can outrun them and once they too tired you just punch till they beg for mama.
Frame is nothing in face of pure chadness.
>I keep my distance and once he is too tired I finish him off
This isn't a boss fight in a videogame.
NO ONE CARED WHO HE WAS UNTIL HE PUT ON THE MASK
if you think sleep apnea has anything to do with lack of endurance you're mentally moronic.
Now you'll spout off about how obese people with sleep apnea dont have endurance and act like you won the arguement.
They'd have to catch me first though and these mfs can't run a hundred yards, let's be honest.
What if you're both in an mma cage?
In an MMA setting, they'd have their lights out at the first 20 seconds or so in their weight class. That, or they'd gas out about half a minute into the first round. They'd get mauled man.
>that's not "functional"
Yes it is. It's the function he wants to use it for. Why should he ever need to run a mile or get into a fight if he doesn't want to?
>All muscle is functional, you dumb Black person twink. If it weren't, we wouldn't have it
You're claiming the biggest bodybuilder is also the most athletic human in any discipline, brainlet.
Who said they were athletic?
No, moron, I'm saying all muscle has function. BB are more so well rounded rather than focused on one specific area i.e. swimming speed, jumping, etc. and that's simply because they don't make it the focus, but the rest of their muscle still has function. If anything most of their muscle translates more to a fighting sport than a heavy cardio one. You can meme all you want about fighting being cardio based, but they'd ko your ass before it even gets to that point. Think for a second. Do you think you have a chance against a bear or a gorilla? You'd just dodge and weave them, right? Then just trip them when they gas out? Kek
bears and gorillas are the opposite of a bodybuilder moron. 100% of their muscle is functional. they literally kill and fight for a living. they dont pick up rocks and put them down to create poofy superficial "show muscles" a bear or gorilla is LITERALLY athletic. they SPRINT, FIGHT, and KILL. they never do pointless controlled concentric time under tension lifts
>bears and gorillas are the opposite of a bodybuilder moron. 100% of their muscle is functional
Get a load of this cherry picking dumbass
He admits a gorilla's muscles are all 100% functional but somehow magically it's not the case for humans
FRICKING LOL what a clown
i'm arguing with a moron. goodbye.
you lost and are embarrassed so decided to leave. Good riddance, village idiot twink
> fighters don't do weighted exercises
Doesn't sound very good faith
i'm guessing you're a moronic bodybuilder if you think a bb'er is more like a bear/gorilla.
I guess your brain isn't functional either.
A better comparison would be a 340lb ronnie vs a 200lb jaguar. the jaguar would literally frick ronnie up. dispite a 140lb weight difference
>i'm guessing you're a moronic bodybuilder if you think a bb'er is more like a bear/gorilla.
They are, you stupid fricking twink. In what magical world would that not be the case? What the frick are you smoking?
>A better comparison would be a 340lb ronnie vs a 200lb jaguar.
LMFAO no shit anatomy varies i.e. chimps have superior muscle fibers. That's not the point, you dumb b***h
Exactly this. The Jaguar is made to KILL.
Ronnie is made to LOOK strong. He is not strong at all. I am five foot four 145 lbs and I am stronger then Ronnie. I am a machine born to fight and born to kill. Ronnie just lifts to LOOK strong. He would be dead if he fought like me I would force him to defend himself for like 30 minutes while doding all his slow shit and once he had no energy he is dead. Fat blobs they can t do shit against fit chads.
bro shut up I saw you crying at the discotheque
I agree but I'm also fat so what the frick do I know
Peak Athleticism displayed by the most muscular man in the universe.
Damn, Ronnie such a good sport for taking part in that.
Boy you guys sure know a lot of 300 lb bodybuilders and powerlifters. I don't think ever ever met a single one. 300 lb bodybuilders passing out all over the place from climbing stairs is a real serious problem apparently.
All you gotta do is larp about doing mma and all the body builders and powerlifters just come to you apparently.
>wienery powerlifter dies in a street fight
many such cases
and yet only one is ever posted
There's probably 100 videos of a powershitter cloud tumor losing at some sport, dying in a fight, tripping on his own leg, running out of air
for every one video where he slams a 100lb fighter on the floor.
The ratio is the other way around. People cherry pick and hone in on twink taking down Goliath because the opposite is obvious
Holy frick this thread again. I don't give a frick about your adult karate I will gun you the frick down if you try me. Try leg-kick me with 9mm to your face mcgregor wannabes
excuse me sir, i lift, train mma, have a large dog AND guns. these things are not mutually exclusive
Yeah but don't you see how cringe this bodybuilder vs mma argument is. If your training mma to streetfight your actually stupid.
>Get into an argument on the street
>Whip out le gun
>Shoot the guy in the face
>Life in prison
>raped by tyrone
Nice one gunowner!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-your-ground_law
Yes but can you do any of these things.
>muh powershitters
There was a 100lb weight difference here
>176lb twink beats large cloud tumor in a no rules cage match
many such cases
he threw the fight. Fake as wrestling.
Lmfao ya, 100lb of fat. Not muscle. That's not the same shit, twink. If he lost that fat he'd be in the same weight division
He fought at 260lb in pic
>The goal of exercise is to have a functional, multi-purpose body that will allow you to do whatever you want.
>The goal of exercise
>The goal
So you've decided it have you? There's one and one only goal for everyone and you know it. No other goals allowed eh Hitler. How about you have a little think about why you're so high on your own farts that your opinion is to be imposed upon everyone. No, but actually. Don't clap back. Actually think about that. Why are you so controlling of what others think, want and do? Why didn't it occur to you that different people have different preferences for different reasons? Think about this rationally and answer me after you calm down.
>some rambling post based around what he things words mean
This will probably be the dumbest thing I'll read here all week.
I have absolutely horrible reflexes, I can't catch things thrown at me or kick a football so I'm limited to lifting heavy things.
>another fat dyel loser telling everyone how to be and posting pics of other men as "proof"
The fact is that most people here are 150lb dyels and amateur homosexuals that I could easily rape with no issue.
Post body, post marathon time, post fight record, post other athletic accomplishments
Thats a very general goal. Like saying that the purpose of love is only to multiply.
In general terms, yes, but in realify all exercise is to achieve goal.
True that most gymbros dont have a particular goal why they exercise, but if you have one, e.g. become an mma champion, you will sacrifice functionality somewhere to be better at your path to the goal. Like you wont care if you can or cannot plqy soccer or lift heavy then as it is not your goal at all.
Just lol @ these coping twinks itt thinking they could tko pic related with 1 leg kick.
>You should be able to go play any sport, join a mma gym, take part in a marathon, or basically do anything
So no one over 50 should start to exercise then
Strangely if op didn’t post a UFC guy this thread would have gone different. Also I agree with you op. The reason I “train” is to increase strength, flexibility, and endurance. Basically I wanna stay as young feeling as long as I can. I also enjoy doing athletic endeavors with my friends and my wife.
Work out can turn your body into a super great vessel make you feel amazing in any activities work sex study, stand walk run seat sleep in any position you're in
Post body.
