Field service engineer. It only affects my fitness by making me drive a lot and hunch over my work, which tightens up my hips and upper back/shoulders. Currently working on a mobility program to address that.
NEET
Skinnyfat from prolonged sitting for vidya and no exercise.
Overdeveloped right arm for fapping.
Can't get hard with regular women because of porn addiciton.
Was working in Games, (Nightmare for people that actually do their jobs. Especially so for White Straight Men) now in Software Engineering (much much much better).
Issue is that I work remote and sitting in a chair is not good. I go on a couple mile walk almost every day. And go to the gym at minimum 3 times a week and weight train while I'm there.
Worse is today I got diagnosed with Hypothyriodism. I'm gonna make it though bros. I was fat in HS, thin in college (I think it was muscle loss as I did not have a lot of food and I think I was starving myself) and a little overweight now (my Muscle mass is in the very high category though so I'm strong but my fat hides good muscle).
You must be new. That's by far the majority of fit posters. Never forget the guy telling you what's wrong with your lifts is a fat neet who's never been inside a gym.
NEET
I never miss a workout due to homegym, I bulk on mommy's cooking and I live close to a lake I can lap with the dogs for cardio
I am more worried about how being an urbanite is going to affect it, assuming I manage to get a job related to my degree in the city
I basically stand all day, If you lean on stuff or sit down it looks unprofessional. Last time at work before the event that I was there for started and we were getting briefed backstage, all the security were standing and the other employees were sitting, it becomes second nature after a while.
Because of that, I have a technique for perfect posture, and I can stand for up to 12 hours a day without my legs getting sore or needing a break. Also because I don't have a vehicle (putting 80% of my earnings in an investment portfolio), and because I work nights I usually walk home from work.
apart from that, seeing the spectacle of consumerism: grown adults acting like children because the bar is closed and they can't get more beer. People getting aggreesive and physically violent over a football match. Fat, overweight and unhealthy people chucking a temper tantrum because they can't bring their McDonalds in to whatever it is they're going to see. The whole apparatus that's surrounds the events that people come to see which is required for them to take place in the first place. (security, police, paramedics). As well as the actual shittiness of the things that people pay so much for and what passes for entertainment. All in all the behaviour I see at work everyday fills me with a general disgust for people, especially fat people.
Also it fricks with my sleep schedule but i'm a night owl anyway.

A servant without a cause. A servile bootlicker without a cause. An American braggart.
Royal Marine. Keeps me fit, good gym access. Hard to train when in the field. Downside is can’t can’t add too much mass as need to be running fit as well.
I have a CS degree and am mostly unspecialised, I was thinking of switching to data analyst, would you recommend it ? if I'm honest what I am really looking for is to be able to work from home, automate most of my work, and enjoy the free time
It depends on where you work, with a CS degree you'll get paid way more working as a software engineer but the work is generally a lot harder.
My last job was complete hell and I had a million respobsibilities, unreasonable ticket queues, clients screaming at me constantly, and shitty office politics. I quit when I started getting blamed for the dev team's code for "not holding them accountable".
My current job is extremely easy and most days I dont do much, and i never get hassled, so it really depends on where you work and what you do. Data analyst is a pretty vague field.
Automating your work as any position that isnt a data entry monkey (who get paid shit) isnt realistic.
Not the guy you asked. But we're always looking for cloud architects, which is like fully virtual by nature of the job, really. A ton of automation, and good pay.
My lead cloud dude quite literally can't even set up a network, and he gets paid at least twice what I do. I sent him to a demo, because "he built it, he should be the tech support". He couldn't get the server connected to the internet. (My fault, I assumed). His response was basically "what do you want from me? I haven't touched a server in 19 years. I haven't even plugged in Ethernet in 10"
Remote HR. It's a 9-5 but I can get away with only actually working like 3 sometimes even 2 days a week. Started out with shit pay but with experience I'm now up at $75k/year which for a lazy frick like me is perfect. I also live in my car and spend less than $40 a week on groceries so I actually end up with more money at the end of the year than most guys making 6 figures do. Still learning HTML/CSS/JavaScript in my free time though but more so for fun rather than trying for a software job. I find I'm able to pick things up way quicker now than I could back in college when I had so many more responsibilities to handle and had the constant pressure of performing on exams rather than actually enjoying the material
I'm a state prosecutor. Some of the continuing education trainings for lawyers that I've had to take suggest that juries will side with a lawyer who looks good so I like to think lifting helps.
Researcher. I get paid frick all but I get to do basically whatever I want with my time. Including spending the morning at the gym and still going home at 5, because nobody's there to check.
Do you need credentials e.g. MLS or subject matter expertise? Digging stuff up online gives me a cocaine-like high.
Trophy wife. >Big house with a lifting area and a rowing/yoga studio. >Buy whatever gym equipment I need, no questions asked. >Kitchen with whatever appliances or specialty food I need. >No work, no kids, no responsibilities besides animals and myself, and husband is gone 8 hours/day so I have multiple hours to frick around in the gym before he's home. Can get in a 2 hour lifting sesh and row a marathon while still having time to do hobbies and shitpost. >Live near big private lake with row boat and kayak rentals, well maintained biking and running trails, take my dog there whenever I want, as it's a two minute walk from my house. >Husband is fit, too, so easy to convince to go on hikes or take up new fit hobbies like rock climbing.
It's ok.
What class were you raised in? Specifically are you and your husband currently the same class you were raised as? I was raised upper middle but am training for a middle job, so am unsure whether to find a wife at upper middle or middle i.e. if she'll expect to live in the same class she was raised in.
As for me I work in a cafe, it's cozy. On my feet constantly, have lost 30 pounds since starting despite eating all our choice pastries. Basically all I do is stand around and flirt with a rotating cast of attractive college students all day.

I was born the lowest of low class so I guess I can't answer from an upper class girls perspective. I wasn't specifically looking for someone rich or anything, though, I just attracted that type because I was pretty clear early on that I expected a traditional family structure where I was taken care of and only men from upper class family's seemed interested in that. I'd say most women are like me and if they expect to be treated lavishly they'll tell you.

Sounds like an incredibly boring, pointless and unfulfilling life. Surely you are not happy? I would fricking despise my wife if she had zero aspirations or goals like you.
Why do you think your wife needs to have to have aspirations or goals? Why are you not okay with her just supporting your aspirations and goals? I mean a family is supposed to be one unit who shares common goals, not two adults with their own goals. If she signed up to be with you and so there to support your goals this is way better than living a life where you and your wife come into conflict when your goals don’t align.
Not really that boring, but considering the average person that browses here I'm not surprised you have no idea how to fill time or find meaning outside of being a wagecuck. >Sole fixer and renovator of the house. Drywall, paint, carpentry, tiling, plumbing. I do that shit so my husband doesn't have to. He doesn't know what the difference between spackle and compound is and that's the way I like it. >Do a LOT of CAD shit, mostly personal renovation projects. Right now I'm adding a pond on my property and redesigning a several hundreds year old farmhouse that has been gutted, but needs to be redone to look like it originally did while still being a modern vacation home. I used to do this for a living, so most projects like this fall on me. >Speaking of the farm, I've also been tasked with setting up the orchard, beehives, raspberry perimeter and chickens, so I've had to take up gardening recently as well. Started a butterfly garden and I have monarchs the size of my palm and my forest lights up every night with fireflies. >Read a lot of books. Recently finished up Foundation trilogy, took a little detour to read I, Robot, moving on to Xeelee. >Train my dog. I've taught her so much shit she's learning things like cleaning dirty clothes and finding the cats and herding them to where they're supposed to be. >Bake. I love doing all the weird shit you see online but don't have the confidence, time or money to do, and then doing it 10 times until I perfect it because I have nothing but time, money and confidence. >Do weird art shit like making large statues of alien eggs from Natural Selection 2 and multimedia paintings of demons with 500 individually carved teeth. >Enjoy writing long, way too detailed posts on IST that you'll claim you didn't read.
You can be sure once I become rich and get my trophy wife I'm putting 5 kids in her
We actually want 6 but I want to finish the house first and then sell and buy a new house that is more child friendly and closer to family.
>Only meaning is giving your time, body and mind to the israelite.
Yes, that's right, that's a good boy. Building yourself, your home and your loved ones is BAD and working for the profit of another is GOOD. Keep spreading the gospel, brother.
That's what your husband does. Which is completely fine since >Building yourself, your home and your loved ones
is woman "work" but you don't even have kids so I struggle to call it work. time's running out. tik tok
Fellow construction chad reporting. I'm an electrician so I climb ladders all day and pull wire. To be honest it's cake work and lifting definitely makes my job easier. Nothing like climbing eight flights of scaffolding with two bundles of conduit when everyone else is only taking one.
electrician, kinda sucks cause im working abroad, ~1200km from my home and im changing workplace every month or two, so sometimes i dont even have access to the gym for few weeks a year
it was a lot harder when i was working as a lumberjack in my shithole village. i was 19, straight outta high school, i was eating 8k kcal daily and i was still losing weight, my hands and shoulders were so fricking sore that training was pointless, i was just pumping chest and arms like 2 times a week
I'm really considering becoming an electrician. Should I do it? Is it hard finding someone to take me on as an apprentice?
Work is in demand and too many people are turning away from blue collar work because society has normalized shitting on blue collar work so you can spend $30K a year just to work in marketing
Currently in my second career. Retired from active duty at age 37, got tired of just collecting a pension after about a year. Got into program management. The company is 100% virtual, based in San Francisco, so I get paid about 60k over market value for where I live. The military kept me, not necessarily healthy, but ateast in reasonable cardio shape. Now I'm free to lift daily. All in all, pretty happy with my position in life. Nice trad-girlfriend, getting gains, taking life easy.

Working at a horse barn, mostly mucking stalls but there's always loads of projects to be done and working with the horses or in the gardens.
Arizona heat fricking sucks though, so not only am I having to take caffeine before work to combat the heat exhaustion I'm just barely able to go to the gym twice a week with how frickin tired I am all the time. Also hard to keep weight on because I have such a low appetite and don't eat much or consistently. Trying to figure out how to make myself hungrier so I can bulk properly.
Anyone have any advice?
Attorney. At my last firm, it was difficult to stay fit; it was a chaotic litigation environment and my schedule was constantly being thrown off by new suits and motions.
Now I work for myself and mostly do transactions. I make less money but I can duck out from 11 to 2 every day to hit the gym, eat a big lunch, and take a nap.
It’s great >go workout the hour before opening so entire place to myself >work after either uni or my morning workout >free lifting >discounts on supps and equipment we sell in reception (belts bands etc) >1 protein shake a day on the house
Pseudo pt means I help newbies out on their first day, they basically pay extra for an entry fee and get an employee to show them the ropes on all the machines and free weights
Studying to be -I hope- a national park biologist/ecologist, in which case id be outside a lot which is based, and the rest of the time I’m in an office doing data which means I can have a home gym and do it from there
Don’t care about my income at all. I don’t feel like a wageslave at all, I could just aswell keep working in that gym the rest of my life and make pennies, I’d rather do that than be an engineer/computer drone, but national parks are more fun
printing factory, most of the day i spend surfing on the internet on my phone
sometimes i need to stand for few hours but 90% of the time i can sit comfy so after 8 hours of work i go to home (15 minutes with bicycle), eat and can lift on my home gym
beer brewer. on my feet for most of the day, crouching, lifting, twisting.
if you aren't careful it's pretty easy to get repetetive motion injuries, shin splints, etc. I'm happy that it keeps me more active than many jobs, but the more efficient I get the less exercise I get. my first couple years I dropped a bunch of weight but now I'm in a holding pattern.
I do homegym 2x/week and am a semi-pro volleyball player/coach another 2-3x/week.
Leg infantry, I have like 8 gyms within a 10 minute drive and they're all free but keeping a consistent workout routine and retaining mass/strength is hard because of constant field time (I'm about to do my 2nd CTC in 6 months).
because finding people with the skills, intelligence, aptitude, dependability, looks, and presentation skills necessary to present well to clients is incredibly difficult.
and then if you want to hire people for these jobs, you have to convince them to abandon every opportunity to do something ethical that improves the world. enter money.
also the hours are punishing and the pressure to deliver is unrelenting. you can never drop a ball. ever.
I have a master’s degree from a top school and a CFA. My wife just has a bachelor’s degree lul. That’s private equity for you.
Nice cope, you financial cucks work 50+hours a week and wage slave like a dog. I guess the money is good but absolutely 0 free time, social+ sex life and you just become a boring loser whose only topics are about work
It’s not for everyone. My wife and I kept our expenses in check so we’ll be ready to retire in 18 months. I’m 31, she’s 28.
Nice cope, you financial cucks work 50+hours a week and wage slave like a dog. I guess the money is good but absolutely 0 free time, social+ sex life and you just become a boring loser whose only topics are about work

and that doesn't make you feel like shit? like, you get all this money but you know you're part of a capitalist machine that values material wealth over literally everything else? i mean enjoy your early retirement i guess, i hope you and your wife volunteer with all that free time to maybe give something back to the world that gave you so much for doing what you already admitted doesn't improve the world.

yep, that’s the plan.
even while working i volunteer helping low-income, low financial literacy seniors with their retirement plans and my wife volunteers on the board of a local health services delivery charity
we will volunteer much more in retirement
I was friends with a guy like you in high school. Great guy - very popular among the smart kids but also nice, good combination. He went to Ivy League then Goldman Sachs or whatever and lives in NYC now. He seems happy - his wife does the same job and he has exactly 5000 Facebook friends (the maximum Facebook allows you to have). He was bullied a bit in high school by the "tough" kids: I looked up one of the tough kids recently and he's balding and has a fat wife.

Lmao it's that wagecuck from the other thread that blames his dyel status on his boss because supposedly he would treat him like an 80IQ caveman, even though the possibility of getting such gains for a sedentary b***h is 1%.
architect
no, not that kind. the kind that actually designs buildings. but most of my day is at a desk, only sometimes do i walk construction sides and climb access ladders.
Military, AD airman. I gained 80 pounds since I joined. Stressful as frick. When I was a chef I was bodybuilding, powerlifting, competing. Now my 'leadership' is a fricking clown fiesta. They are literally clowns as a side gig. I fricking wish I had stayed making 20% more on the outside yet here I am. My weight gain is my own problem. I ended up eating my stress but not having the actual grit to train after 12 hour shifts due to location and lack of gym equipment set me back, a lot. It's my own fault. It really fricking sucks but I'm not giving up yet
Psychologist
I don't do shit most of the time and am allowed to come and go as I please, at times I don't even show up to work and that's fine because when there is work to be done I finish it and am literally the only person in the company who can do it. This allows me to fully peruse fitness
blue collar for a municipality
gym 6x per week
bjj 5x per week
30 min cardio daily

Former lawyer turned public school teacher. Being a fit, passionate teacher helps (1) earn the respect of my students (none frick around in my class); (2) my colleagues are mostly women so I mog most men; and (3) I constantly get mired by students about to start college
Never really made money. Graduated debt-free from undergrad and law school. Did mostly public interest work at a legal aid for rural southern communities. Now I make more as a teacher and I get the summers off, which allows me to go on month-long hikes and workout twice a day instead of once.
Im a Crane Operator and I work 12 hr swing shifts with mandatory OT. Right now I work 12pm-12am with alternating days. But my training schedule is like this:
Monday:
Log Clean and squat and Press (225lb for 6x5)
Barbell Curl(135lb 5x5)
Hathford Ring Dips (4x5)
Iron cross flyes (3 sets to failure)
10 sets of Hill Sprints (100% effort Rest 5-10 mins)
Thursday
Same as Monday
Friday:
Same as Tuesday
Saturday:
Hill sprints 6-10 sets depending on how I feel.
Working on transitioning to Ring muscle ups, heavy farmer walks and Barbbell curls only for next level freaky gains. All Natural, juice is for pussies that don’t know how to train.
At work I take push up handles with me and some resistance band for some pump work but nothing strenuous. I dont let my job or the crazy hours stop me from getting my gains. Pros everybody at work mires me. Cons everyone at my work is male.
The nice thing is that you enter the top 1% physically just by doing physical activity even just once a week, since most developers do jack shit.
When you tell women you are a programmer and aren't a DYEL or fat frick, they will realize you're different - they desire rare objects.
I would say positively; working from home allows me to work out/hit the gym whenever. Studying anatomy for work is essential and it allows me to appreciate the potential/aesthetics of fit body types so it's extremely motivating. I'm also very attracted to fit women.
>hurr but muh no fap
I'm in a unique position of being disciplined and not being a chemically addicted sperg so this isn't a problem.
Based Professional Degenerate. I write erotica for a living and I'm much the same except for dealing with female customers constantly has made me more misogynistic.

I think I was just bored.

I love the numbers aspect of lifting, and it's helped me make some mad spreadsheets to help with my lifting shit. Also let me afford my home gym, so ig I've got that goin for me
>Professional Engineer >It pays enough that I can afford to lift at the climbing gym >I can take rest days because it is sedentary >It's easy and low-stress (for me) so that's probably good for my T levels
I work a desk job doing accounting for a timeshare company. All of my fitness has to be done at the home gym and I spend my shift playing videogames or reading/studying. I've been learning a language in the 7+ paid hours of free time I have a week which feels good. It feels good to be productive for my own reasons on company time.
Public prosecutor in eastern yurop.
I'm in the top 5-10% of salaries in my country.
I train 5 times a week, I'm fit in a bunch of different ways because I just sit around for 8 hours and sit on this mongol throat singing forum most of that time, so after work I'm itching for some physical activity.
People usually notice that I lift, had some female convicts flirt with me.
>are the females in slavland hot
Most of them are not. And most of the ones that pass are sub 100 IQ monkeys that can barely hold a conversation beyond "uhmmm so I got like very drunk last weekend haha and my interests are watching netflix and eating food".
The amount of women here with their life figured out and not ran through is tiny.
The majority is either fat, dumb, used up and/or damaged.
That's why I always tell them I'm a corporate wagecuck on the first date and drive a beat up Renault.
floorhand. im too tired to use the gym on site after shift and too busy at home to go. burn frick ton of calories but cancel it out by eating a shit ton of little debbies because thats literally the only hit of dopamine i get when im out on a hitch.

I hope you get raped by a pack of Black folk. Do you work 90+ hours weeks or something? What is your excuse?
It makes me lift extra hard and heavy when I see obese bedbound patients that literally cannot do a thing for themselves all before the age of 60. The effects of diabetes and immobility are truly disgusting and something I wish to never experience. Having very large and prominent veins also gets me lots of mires.
On the downside I'm always called upon whenever someone needs help lifting a 400 lb fat ass patient.
>It makes me lift extra hard and heavy when I see obese bedbound patients that literally cannot do a thing for themselves all before the age of 60.
I design the AC for hospitals and spend all day looking at floor plans. That alone is enough to keep me on the path. They're moving toward having dialysis hookups in every patient room because now it makes sense to assume everyone in the hospital has diabetes.
it's very difficult, blamed for things outside of your control, on-call days making sure packets of some unecessary content gets delivered. making sure israelitecorp gets max profit with the least computing power purchased possible. getting told what to do, what to build, by people who have no real tech skill and make double what i do
I am a math professor. When I was I'm college the first real math class I took was Number Theory and the professor was this boomer, completely bald on the top of his head and long hair around the sides but absolutely fricking jacked, I am nowhere near that level but it is definitely my goal. I spend like 20 hours a week at work and get a free albeit shitty gym ay my college so it is a really ideal setup.
I'm a land surveyor on southern Chile that works mainly on rural areas. There's lots of forested hills and swamps and a large part of my work is clearing the vegetation with a machete and chainsaw so I have to stay decently fit.
It helps with enduring the cold and rain too. I get hot and sweaty very fast so wearing waterproof clothing just makes me soaked with cold sweat wich usually makes me catch a cold so I prefer to wear a sweater, get wet and just don't stop moving all day so my body doesn't cool down.
Lots of walking which does a little bit of cardio and little periods of inactivity.
Big issue is all the standing stiffens my legs.
I find I have to stretch and foam roll regularly otherwise I'll get muscle knots in my calves and quads which affect my squat mobility (kneecap creaking)

Poorly, field is a pretty big gains goblin, especially when you’re out for several fortnightly periods in a row.
Army pt also isn’t great, you get good sessions and bad sessions but since they aren’t tailored for you or even for improvement, only maintenance, you can end up getting nothing out of a session or breaking yourself cause some moron jnco thinks it’s a fun idea to run 10km in body armour or do 3 million fricking burpees or whatever. For the most part though it doesn’t do much and you just end up tired for when you do your real session later, or fricks you up cause you did a hard leg session yesterday in your own time.
I’ve been fighting shin splints my whole fricking career cause of the amount of shit we gotta do running around in boots, shit fricking sucks.
Just an intern in a public law office. I'm sitting most of the time, but it's just the right distance to walk to the gym afterwards. Sometimes I get to lift and carry some reasonably heavy boxes, though, and it helps me practice my deadlift/squat posture.
Financial advisor. I only work 15 hours per week which allows me plenty of time to lift, rest, and recover. Definitely helps fitness to have a bullshit job where I make tons of money and barely work.
Bachelor's degree. It's basically a sales job so you can only coast like I am after a decade or so of brutally hard cold calling and prospecting. Or get in on some kind of nepotism where a super successful advisor gives you a book of business.
and NEETs. people who are dedicated to fitness in an environment where you don't have to are naturally usually going to be going above and beyond in other aspects of life
I am an officer in the Navy. I do nerd shit and am hardly ever on any ships, so we PT three mornings a week.
Our PT isn't nearly enough to keep us fit on its own: usually one 3ish mile run, moronic circuit exercises, and then a sports day on Friday just for fun where we play dodgeball or ultimate frisbee or something. We're heavily encouraged to work out on our own during working hours though and there's a good group of officers that are very competitive/supportive about lifting and running and outdoing each other's PT test scores.
There are still an alarming number of fatbodies on the enlisted side (about half our chiefs should definitely be failing their annual weigh-ins), but at least I get to order them to stop being fat.
>but at least I get to order them to stop being fat.
Excellent leadership. I've actually been mulling over joining the military, but I'm undecided on the branch. How's Navy life post-covid?
Depends massively on your job. Do your research on what you want, what life for that rate is like, where you may be stationed with it, what kind of certs you can get for civilian life, etc., and do not allow any slimy recruiter to trick you into signing for anything else.
For officers (assuming you will go OCS), all branches except the Navy come with the gamble of not knowing your job until after you're already committed. Army/AF OCS you will have an open officer contract, compete for slots with your class, and only get to select from what happens to be available when you graduate.
Navy side doesn't send you to OCS until you've already got a designator assigned and it can only be taken away from you if you get medically disqualified or you fail to get the right security clearance.
Navy life for me is quite comfy. There are no more covid effects on anything I do and I've traveled to six countries on three continents (all in hotels, no ships) in the past six months. If you qualify for any kind of niche nerd shit, it is almost always worth shooting for that - the smaller the community, the better the opportunities.
The exception is nuke. Do not go nuke.
There is no spying involved, only an ungodly amount of hours spent in dungeons on ships because you can't leave the reactor when everybody else is out in port having fun. You will also be surrounded by weird furgays who shower horrifyingly rarely and commit suicide horrifyingly often.
The re-enlistment bonus sometimes gets near or into six figures. That sounds like a plus, but it's not - it doesn't come from the Navy appreciating your work, it's because that's the bare minimum bribe necessary to convince any nuke not to run at the earliest opportunity.
I work for a defense contractor and buy armored vehicle parts for the U.S. military. Pretty lenient work schedule but I sit on my ass most of the day doing office work. On one hand, it doesn't encourage fitness. On the other, it lets me rest and have plenty of energy to lift after work. It is what you make it anons...
Am a welder... mostly. Company I work for primarily does custom handrails and fencing, though we're very small so I also lead in the majority of manual labour for installs including digging 4' holes and mixing concrete to lay posts down. I'm on my feet 10 hours a day either chasing the light, rolling/bending steel, working our barrel forge for doing anything that would have ornamental scrollwork in it, or outside doing manual labor for the install portion.
Money's not great, there's no benefits, but the job's got a ton of leniency and it's a favored dynamic of mine as there's maybe 5 of us working there in total (higher ups included, both being lazy fricks who do little more than quotes and spew regurgitated Facebook vitriol). It's great exercise for keeping me trimmed down mostly and is constantly hitting upper body. Downside is I don't really get shit for legs done and I'm usually too exhausted by the end of the day to manage more than like a relatively intense 30 minute curlbro workout session.
Since I started building stairs I haven't been working out and have lost a lot of muscle.... also some fat... I have however been asked out by two girls at the beach since then so I'm starting to think everyone on this board actually are know nothing fat morons and being lean really is all anyone cares about.

i start my day pretty early and if shit gets tacked on at the end of the day (conferences, concerts, games, etc.) it gets to be too long/late of a day to work out. i usually cut a bunch of weight in the summer due to a more open schedule and living frugally for the few months.
PhD student in math. If you consider “mental fitness” then I guess it’s helpful since it keeps me thinking logically. Physically it has no affect directly, but indirectly I look around and see how out of shape the people around me are and it serves as motivation
Lawyer. Fricking kills it . I got laid off because of covid (had to leave the country where I was working) and unironically spent the time pinning and working out like a maniac. Feel like I’ll be able to maintain but improvement is out of the question
Field service engineer. It only affects my fitness by making me drive a lot and hunch over my work, which tightens up my hips and upper back/shoulders. Currently working on a mobility program to address that.
Same. Kinda sucks and currently looking for a way out of engineering in general.

Overdeveloped right arm for fapping.
Can't get hard with regular women because of porn addiciton.
any suggestions for an individual with these conditions (except the right arm and porn addiction part)
eat and go gym
Was working in Games, (Nightmare for people that actually do their jobs. Especially so for White Straight Men) now in Software Engineering (much much much better).
Issue is that I work remote and sitting in a chair is not good. I go on a couple mile walk almost every day. And go to the gym at minimum 3 times a week and weight train while I'm there.
Worse is today I got diagnosed with Hypothyriodism. I'm gonna make it though bros. I was fat in HS, thin in college (I think it was muscle loss as I did not have a lot of food and I think I was starving myself) and a little overweight now (my Muscle mass is in the very high category though so I'm strong but my fat hides good muscle).

Why are you here
You must be new. That's by far the majority of fit posters. Never forget the guy telling you what's wrong with your lifts is a fat neet who's never been inside a gym.
Waiter. Provides me with more motivation to look good since I always see people and is a good source of cardio from powerwalking.
Electrical Engineering, i sit quite alot, but try to move around for ~5-10min each hour and go talk to the assembly guys or the HR lady
The body part that takes the heaviest toll is actually my eyes. (Work on PC most of the time) I'll probably need glasses in a few years.
This is me.
Systems engineer and over the last year my eyes feel like they're deteriorating at a fast pace from looking at pc screens.
Get those Gunnar blue light blocking glasses
Might be full placebo but they feel like they help for staring at screens all day
I put the blue light filter on and set my screens to black and white but it doesn't help that much

security.
I basically stand all day, If you lean on stuff or sit down it looks unprofessional. Last time at work before the event that I was there for started and we were getting briefed backstage, all the security were standing and the other employees were sitting, it becomes second nature after a while.
Because of that, I have a technique for perfect posture, and I can stand for up to 12 hours a day without my legs getting sore or needing a break. Also because I don't have a vehicle (putting 80% of my earnings in an investment portfolio), and because I work nights I usually walk home from work.
apart from that, seeing the spectacle of consumerism: grown adults acting like children because the bar is closed and they can't get more beer. People getting aggreesive and physically violent over a football match. Fat, overweight and unhealthy people chucking a temper tantrum because they can't bring their McDonalds in to whatever it is they're going to see. The whole apparatus that's surrounds the events that people come to see which is required for them to take place in the first place. (security, police, paramedics). As well as the actual shittiness of the things that people pay so much for and what passes for entertainment. All in all the behaviour I see at work everyday fills me with a general disgust for people, especially fat people.
Also it fricks with my sleep schedule but i'm a night owl anyway.

Data analyst
I sit on my ass all day except at the gym. Part of the reason i started lifting is i was developing bad posture and horrible back pain.
I have a CS degree and am mostly unspecialised, I was thinking of switching to data analyst, would you recommend it ? if I'm honest what I am really looking for is to be able to work from home, automate most of my work, and enjoy the free time
It depends on where you work, with a CS degree you'll get paid way more working as a software engineer but the work is generally a lot harder.
My last job was complete hell and I had a million respobsibilities, unreasonable ticket queues, clients screaming at me constantly, and shitty office politics. I quit when I started getting blamed for the dev team's code for "not holding them accountable".
My current job is extremely easy and most days I dont do much, and i never get hassled, so it really depends on where you work and what you do. Data analyst is a pretty vague field.
Automating your work as any position that isnt a data entry monkey (who get paid shit) isnt realistic.
Not the guy you asked. But we're always looking for cloud architects, which is like fully virtual by nature of the job, really. A ton of automation, and good pay.
My lead cloud dude quite literally can't even set up a network, and he gets paid at least twice what I do. I sent him to a demo, because "he built it, he should be the tech support". He couldn't get the server connected to the internet. (My fault, I assumed). His response was basically "what do you want from me? I haven't touched a server in 19 years. I haven't even plugged in Ethernet in 10"
Cleaner, I sweep and mop 5 basketball courts every day for 4 hours. That’s my cardio
Remote HR. It's a 9-5 but I can get away with only actually working like 3 sometimes even 2 days a week. Started out with shit pay but with experience I'm now up at $75k/year which for a lazy frick like me is perfect. I also live in my car and spend less than $40 a week on groceries so I actually end up with more money at the end of the year than most guys making 6 figures do. Still learning HTML/CSS/JavaScript in my free time though but more so for fun rather than trying for a software job. I find I'm able to pick things up way quicker now than I could back in college when I had so many more responsibilities to handle and had the constant pressure of performing on exams rather than actually enjoying the material
I'm a state prosecutor. Some of the continuing education trainings for lawyers that I've had to take suggest that juries will side with a lawyer who looks good so I like to think lifting helps.
Researcher. I get paid frick all but I get to do basically whatever I want with my time. Including spending the morning at the gym and still going home at 5, because nobody's there to check.
Do you need credentials e.g. MLS or subject matter expertise? Digging stuff up online gives me a cocaine-like high.
What class were you raised in? Specifically are you and your husband currently the same class you were raised as? I was raised upper middle but am training for a middle job, so am unsure whether to find a wife at upper middle or middle i.e. if she'll expect to live in the same class she was raised in.
As for me I work in a cafe, it's cozy. On my feet constantly, have lost 30 pounds since starting despite eating all our choice pastries. Basically all I do is stand around and flirt with a rotating cast of attractive college students all day.

I was born the lowest of low class so I guess I can't answer from an upper class girls perspective. I wasn't specifically looking for someone rich or anything, though, I just attracted that type because I was pretty clear early on that I expected a traditional family structure where I was taken care of and only men from upper class family's seemed interested in that. I'd say most women are like me and if they expect to be treated lavishly they'll tell you.

>Big house with a lifting area and a rowing/yoga studio.
>Buy whatever gym equipment I need, no questions asked.
>Kitchen with whatever appliances or specialty food I need.
>No work, no kids, no responsibilities besides animals and myself, and husband is gone 8 hours/day so I have multiple hours to frick around in the gym before he's home. Can get in a 2 hour lifting sesh and row a marathon while still having time to do hobbies and shitpost.
>Live near big private lake with row boat and kayak rentals, well maintained biking and running trails, take my dog there whenever I want, as it's a two minute walk from my house.
>Husband is fit, too, so easy to convince to go on hikes or take up new fit hobbies like rock climbing.
It's ok.
Sounds like an incredibly boring, pointless and unfulfilling life. Surely you are not happy? I would fricking despise my wife if she had zero aspirations or goals like you.
You can be sure once I become rich and get my trophy wife I'm putting 5 kids in her
Why do you think your wife needs to have to have aspirations or goals? Why are you not okay with her just supporting your aspirations and goals? I mean a family is supposed to be one unit who shares common goals, not two adults with their own goals. If she signed up to be with you and so there to support your goals this is way better than living a life where you and your wife come into conflict when your goals don’t align.
Not really that boring, but considering the average person that browses here I'm not surprised you have no idea how to fill time or find meaning outside of being a wagecuck.
>Sole fixer and renovator of the house. Drywall, paint, carpentry, tiling, plumbing. I do that shit so my husband doesn't have to. He doesn't know what the difference between spackle and compound is and that's the way I like it.
>Do a LOT of CAD shit, mostly personal renovation projects. Right now I'm adding a pond on my property and redesigning a several hundreds year old farmhouse that has been gutted, but needs to be redone to look like it originally did while still being a modern vacation home. I used to do this for a living, so most projects like this fall on me.
>Speaking of the farm, I've also been tasked with setting up the orchard, beehives, raspberry perimeter and chickens, so I've had to take up gardening recently as well. Started a butterfly garden and I have monarchs the size of my palm and my forest lights up every night with fireflies.

>Bake. I love doing all the weird shit you see online but don't have the confidence, time or money to do, and then doing it 10 times until I perfect it because I have nothing but time, money and confidence.

Construction. Guess it helps that I lift mildly heavy things at work but I doubt any of it is heavy enough to help gains.
Fellow construction chad reporting. I'm an electrician so I climb ladders all day and pull wire. To be honest it's cake work and lifting definitely makes my job easier. Nothing like climbing eight flights of scaffolding with two bundles of conduit when everyone else is only taking one.
Feels good brah.
I'm really considering becoming an electrician. Should I do it? Is it hard finding someone to take me on as an apprentice?
Work is in demand and too many people are turning away from blue collar work because society has normalized shitting on blue collar work so you can spend $30K a year just to work in marketing

Currently in my second career. Retired from active duty at age 37, got tired of just collecting a pension after about a year. Got into program management. The company is 100% virtual, based in San Francisco, so I get paid about 60k over market value for where I live. The military kept me, not necessarily healthy, but ateast in reasonable cardio shape. Now I'm free to lift daily. All in all, pretty happy with my position in life. Nice trad-girlfriend, getting gains, taking life easy.
you really get a pension you can live off of at 37?
damn
electrician, kinda sucks cause im working abroad, ~1200km from my home and im changing workplace every month or two, so sometimes i dont even have access to the gym for few weeks a year
it was a lot harder when i was working as a lumberjack in my shithole village. i was 19, straight outta high school, i was eating 8k kcal daily and i was still losing weight, my hands and shoulders were so fricking sore that training was pointless, i was just pumping chest and arms like 2 times a week

Working at a horse barn, mostly mucking stalls but there's always loads of projects to be done and working with the horses or in the gardens.
Arizona heat fricking sucks though, so not only am I having to take caffeine before work to combat the heat exhaustion I'm just barely able to go to the gym twice a week with how frickin tired I am all the time. Also hard to keep weight on because I have such a low appetite and don't eat much or consistently. Trying to figure out how to make myself hungrier so I can bulk properly.
Anyone have any advice?
Greetings fellow barn-hand Chad

Attorney. At my last firm, it was difficult to stay fit; it was a chaotic litigation environment and my schedule was constantly being thrown off by new suits and motions.
Now I work for myself and mostly do transactions. I make less money but I can duck out from 11 to 2 every day to hit the gym, eat a big lunch, and take a nap.

Studying to be -I hope- a national park biologist/ecologist, in which case id be outside a lot which is based, and the rest of the time I’m in an office doing data which means I can have a home gym and do it from there
Don’t care about my income at all. I don’t feel like a wageslave at all, I could just aswell keep working in that gym the rest of my life and make pennies, I’d rather do that than be an engineer/computer drone, but national parks are more fun
printing factory, most of the day i spend surfing on the internet on my phone
sometimes i need to stand for few hours but 90% of the time i can sit comfy so after 8 hours of work i go to home (15 minutes with bicycle), eat and can lift on my home gym
beer brewer. on my feet for most of the day, crouching, lifting, twisting.
if you aren't careful it's pretty easy to get repetetive motion injuries, shin splints, etc. I'm happy that it keeps me more active than many jobs, but the more efficient I get the less exercise I get. my first couple years I dropped a bunch of weight but now I'm in a holding pattern.
I do homegym 2x/week and am a semi-pro volleyball player/coach another 2-3x/week.
Leg infantry, I have like 8 gyms within a 10 minute drive and they're all free but keeping a consistent workout routine and retaining mass/strength is hard because of constant field time (I'm about to do my 2nd CTC in 6 months).

i work in finance, so does my wife
we make a little over $600k per year
doesn’t really affect my fitness, i just work out in the morning before work.
how much of this is yours and how much is hers because i refuse to believe finance pays a woman > $80,000
allah knows i would not
mine is $200k and hers is $400k so shove your prejudice
i don't understand why you get paid so much to move numbers around on a spreadsheet. our system is so fricked.
because finding people with the skills, intelligence, aptitude, dependability, looks, and presentation skills necessary to present well to clients is incredibly difficult.
and then if you want to hire people for these jobs, you have to convince them to abandon every opportunity to do something ethical that improves the world. enter money.
also the hours are punishing and the pressure to deliver is unrelenting. you can never drop a ball. ever.
What degree/certification do you need?
I have a master’s degree from a top school and a CFA. My wife just has a bachelor’s degree lul. That’s private equity for you.
It’s not for everyone. My wife and I kept our expenses in check so we’ll be ready to retire in 18 months. I’m 31, she’s 28.
Nice cope, you financial cucks work 50+hours a week and wage slave like a dog. I guess the money is good but absolutely 0 free time, social+ sex life and you just become a boring loser whose only topics are about work
>you have to convince them to abandon every opportunity to do something ethical that improves the world. enter money.
and that doesn't make you feel like shit? like, you get all this money but you know you're part of a capitalist machine that values material wealth over literally everything else? i mean enjoy your early retirement i guess, i hope you and your wife volunteer with all that free time to maybe give something back to the world that gave you so much for doing what you already admitted doesn't improve the world.
yep, that’s the plan.
even while working i volunteer helping low-income, low financial literacy seniors with their retirement plans and my wife volunteers on the board of a local health services delivery charity
we will volunteer much more in retirement
I was friends with a guy like you in high school. Great guy - very popular among the smart kids but also nice, good combination. He went to Ivy League then Goldman Sachs or whatever and lives in NYC now. He seems happy - his wife does the same job and he has exactly 5000 Facebook friends (the maximum Facebook allows you to have). He was bullied a bit in high school by the "tough" kids: I looked up one of the tough kids recently and he's balding and has a fat wife.
Lmao it's that wagecuck from the other thread that blames his dyel status on his boss because supposedly he would treat him like an 80IQ caveman, even though the possibility of getting such gains for a sedentary b***h is 1%.

Military, AD airman. I gained 80 pounds since I joined. Stressful as frick. When I was a chef I was bodybuilding, powerlifting, competing. Now my 'leadership' is a fricking clown fiesta. They are literally clowns as a side gig. I fricking wish I had stayed making 20% more on the outside yet here I am. My weight gain is my own problem. I ended up eating my stress but not having the actual grit to train after 12 hour shifts due to location and lack of gym equipment set me back, a lot. It's my own fault. It really fricking sucks but I'm not giving up yet

I don't do shit most of the time and am allowed to come and go as I please, at times I don't even show up to work and that's fine because when there is work to be done I finish it and am literally the only person in the company who can do it. This allows me to fully peruse fitness

Former lawyer turned public school teacher. Being a fit, passionate teacher helps (1) earn the respect of my students (none frick around in my class); (2) my colleagues are mostly women so I mog most men; and (3) I constantly get mired by students about to start college

did you make enough money that it doesn't matter anymore or what?
Never really made money. Graduated debt-free from undergrad and law school. Did mostly public interest work at a legal aid for rural southern communities. Now I make more as a teacher and I get the summers off, which allows me to go on month-long hikes and workout twice a day instead of once.

Iron cross flyes (3 sets to failure)
Tuesday:

Saturday:
Hill sprints 6-10 sets depending on how I feel.
Working on transitioning to Ring muscle ups, heavy farmer walks and Barbbell curls only for next level freaky gains. All Natural, juice is for pussies that don’t know how to train.
At work I take push up handles with me and some resistance band for some pump work but nothing strenuous. I dont let my job or the crazy hours stop me from getting my gains. Pros everybody at work mires me. Cons everyone at my work is male.
>Cons everyone at my work is male.

The nice thing is that you enter the top 1% physically just by doing physical activity even just once a week, since most developers do jack shit.

I would say positively; working from home allows me to work out/hit the gym whenever. Studying anatomy for work is essential and it allows me to appreciate the potential/aesthetics of fit body types so it's extremely motivating. I'm also very attracted to fit women.

Most of them are not. And most of the ones that pass are sub 100 IQ monkeys that can barely hold a conversation beyond "uhmmm so I got like very drunk last weekend haha and my interests are watching netflix and eating food".

It makes me lift extra hard and heavy when I see obese bedbound patients that literally cannot do a thing for themselves all before the age of 60. The effects of diabetes and immobility are truly disgusting and something I wish to never experience. Having very large and prominent veins also gets me lots of mires.
On the downside I'm always called upon whenever someone needs help lifting a 400 lb fat ass patient.
>It makes me lift extra hard and heavy when I see obese bedbound patients that literally cannot do a thing for themselves all before the age of 60.
I design the AC for hospitals and spend all day looking at floor plans. That alone is enough to keep me on the path. They're moving toward having dialysis hookups in every patient room because now it makes sense to assume everyone in the hospital has diabetes.

it's very difficult, blamed for things outside of your control, on-call days making sure packets of some unecessary content gets delivered. making sure israelitecorp gets max profit with the least computing power purchased possible. getting told what to do, what to build, by people who have no real tech skill and make double what i do
Military.
It's nice that my job actively encourages me to workout. Meaningful relationships with the opposite sex are difficult, however.
I am a math professor. When I was I'm college the first real math class I took was Number Theory and the professor was this boomer, completely bald on the top of his head and long hair around the sides but absolutely fricking jacked, I am nowhere near that level but it is definitely my goal. I spend like 20 hours a week at work and get a free albeit shitty gym ay my college so it is a really ideal setup.

it's fricking shit. all the chicks get intimidated by me until they get to know me
I’m a professional chocolate taste tester. I’ve gained 185lbs in 6 years.
I'm a land surveyor on southern Chile that works mainly on rural areas. There's lots of forested hills and swamps and a large part of my work is clearing the vegetation with a machete and chainsaw so I have to stay decently fit.
It helps with enduring the cold and rain too. I get hot and sweaty very fast so wearing waterproof clothing just makes me soaked with cold sweat wich usually makes me catch a cold so I prefer to wear a sweater, get wet and just don't stop moving all day so my body doesn't cool down.
Quiero hacer un técnico agrícola, me servirá para algo en el sure?
Civil engineer in niche field. Affects my fitness by giving me the income to eat healthy and go to a nice gym without worry
Kitchen Hand
Lots of walking which does a little bit of cardio and little periods of inactivity.
Big issue is all the standing stiffens my legs.
I find I have to stretch and foam roll regularly otherwise I'll get muscle knots in my calves and quads which affect my squat mobility (kneecap creaking)
Heavy equipment operator for a construction company by day. working on getting into a PHD program at the moment.
neither really effect my fitness beyond being outdoors.

Poorly, field is a pretty big gains goblin, especially when you’re out for several fortnightly periods in a row.
Army pt also isn’t great, you get good sessions and bad sessions but since they aren’t tailored for you or even for improvement, only maintenance, you can end up getting nothing out of a session or breaking yourself cause some moron jnco thinks it’s a fun idea to run 10km in body armour or do 3 million fricking burpees or whatever. For the most part though it doesn’t do much and you just end up tired for when you do your real session later, or fricks you up cause you did a hard leg session yesterday in your own time.
I’ve been fighting shin splints my whole fricking career cause of the amount of shit we gotta do running around in boots, shit fricking sucks.
Just an intern in a public law office. I'm sitting most of the time, but it's just the right distance to walk to the gym afterwards. Sometimes I get to lift and carry some reasonably heavy boxes, though, and it helps me practice my deadlift/squat posture.
Is it bots making these threads every day?
I row large wooden boats with my 3 brothers and friends

The fat fricks keep me in shape
>EMT on weekend
Got any good fatty horror stories?
Financial advisor. I only work 15 hours per week which allows me plenty of time to lift, rest, and recover. Definitely helps fitness to have a bullshit job where I make tons of money and barely work.
Sounds like a sweet gig. What kind of education/training do you need to score something like that?
Bachelor's degree. It's basically a sales job so you can only coast like I am after a decade or so of brutally hard cold calling and prospecting. Or get in on some kind of nepotism where a super successful advisor gives you a book of business.
>Financial advisor
do you just take your clients investments and throw them in indexes and bonds 80/20? i imagine that's what most lazy CFAs do.
I am a male prostitute

it's really just getting tiring at this point
and NEETs. people who are dedicated to fitness in an environment where you don't have to are naturally usually going to be going above and beyond in other aspects of life
I'm a virus engineer at a biotech startup. I do some walking but it's nothing major, doesn't help or hinder my fitness but I do work long hours
What's the next plague we should look out for, chang?
Work in lumber yard. Hurt my back and now can't lift. Think it's syatica. Feels bad.
I am an officer in the Navy. I do nerd shit and am hardly ever on any ships, so we PT three mornings a week.
Our PT isn't nearly enough to keep us fit on its own: usually one 3ish mile run, moronic circuit exercises, and then a sports day on Friday just for fun where we play dodgeball or ultimate frisbee or something. We're heavily encouraged to work out on our own during working hours though and there's a good group of officers that are very competitive/supportive about lifting and running and outdoing each other's PT test scores.
There are still an alarming number of fatbodies on the enlisted side (about half our chiefs should definitely be failing their annual weigh-ins), but at least I get to order them to stop being fat.
>but at least I get to order them to stop being fat.
Excellent leadership. I've actually been mulling over joining the military, but I'm undecided on the branch. How's Navy life post-covid?
Present day military is not worth it. Maybe if we go to war again, but peacetime military is cancerous.
Depends massively on your job. Do your research on what you want, what life for that rate is like, where you may be stationed with it, what kind of certs you can get for civilian life, etc., and do not allow any slimy recruiter to trick you into signing for anything else.
For officers (assuming you will go OCS), all branches except the Navy come with the gamble of not knowing your job until after you're already committed. Army/AF OCS you will have an open officer contract, compete for slots with your class, and only get to select from what happens to be available when you graduate.
Navy side doesn't send you to OCS until you've already got a designator assigned and it can only be taken away from you if you get medically disqualified or you fail to get the right security clearance.
Navy life for me is quite comfy. There are no more covid effects on anything I do and I've traveled to six countries on three continents (all in hotels, no ships) in the past six months. If you qualify for any kind of niche nerd shit, it is almost always worth shooting for that - the smaller the community, the better the opportunities.
The exception is nuke. Do not go nuke.
>Do not go nuke
Why? I'm just going to assume risk of being assassinated by a sexy North Korean femme fatale with a poison blowgun until you reply
There is no spying involved, only an ungodly amount of hours spent in dungeons on ships because you can't leave the reactor when everybody else is out in port having fun. You will also be surrounded by weird furgays who shower horrifyingly rarely and commit suicide horrifyingly often.
The re-enlistment bonus sometimes gets near or into six figures. That sounds like a plus, but it's not - it doesn't come from the Navy appreciating your work, it's because that's the bare minimum bribe necessary to convince any nuke not to run at the earliest opportunity.
I work for a defense contractor and buy armored vehicle parts for the U.S. military. Pretty lenient work schedule but I sit on my ass most of the day doing office work. On one hand, it doesn't encourage fitness. On the other, it lets me rest and have plenty of energy to lift after work. It is what you make it anons...
>every fit poster is always an engineer
Are you really surprised that a large population of autists turn out to be engineers?
Am a welder... mostly. Company I work for primarily does custom handrails and fencing, though we're very small so I also lead in the majority of manual labour for installs including digging 4' holes and mixing concrete to lay posts down. I'm on my feet 10 hours a day either chasing the light, rolling/bending steel, working our barrel forge for doing anything that would have ornamental scrollwork in it, or outside doing manual labor for the install portion.
Money's not great, there's no benefits, but the job's got a ton of leniency and it's a favored dynamic of mine as there's maybe 5 of us working there in total (higher ups included, both being lazy fricks who do little more than quotes and spew regurgitated Facebook vitriol). It's great exercise for keeping me trimmed down mostly and is constantly hitting upper body. Downside is I don't really get shit for legs done and I'm usually too exhausted by the end of the day to manage more than like a relatively intense 30 minute curlbro workout session.
unemployed
my mom hates that i go to the gym all the time
Since I started building stairs I haven't been working out and have lost a lot of muscle.... also some fat... I have however been asked out by two girls at the beach since then so I'm starting to think everyone on this board actually are know nothing fat morons and being lean really is all anyone cares about.
Sandwich delivery driver
I'm literally the only full time guy so I'm constantly working, hard to make it in the gym
>music teacher plus bus driver
i start my day pretty early and if shit gets tacked on at the end of the day (conferences, concerts, games, etc.) it gets to be too long/late of a day to work out. i usually cut a bunch of weight in the summer due to a more open schedule and living frugally for the few months.
PhD student in math. If you consider “mental fitness” then I guess it’s helpful since it keeps me thinking logically. Physically it has no affect directly, but indirectly I look around and see how out of shape the people around me are and it serves as motivation
Lawyer. Fricking kills it . I got laid off because of covid (had to leave the country where I was working) and unironically spent the time pinning and working out like a maniac. Feel like I’ll be able to maintain but improvement is out of the question
I walk around neighborhoods knocking on people’s doors asking who they plan to vote for. Good cardio.
