      Because lead characters are increasingly brown and/or female, and thus have to be flawlessly brilliant at everything from the get-go.

      >in 50 years we'll all be saggy
      In 50 years the cartoonist will have long since died from a massive heart attack. (Surprise, surprise, he's fatter than his self-insert. Though in fairness, not as subhuman-looking as the average lefty cartoonist.)

      definite Dobson vibes. what's his name? does he have what it takes to pick up the mantle of the goat?

    Why would anyone look at a person in a modern western country and think “he must be a warrior chieftain”? Of course they don’t think that. What a moronic strawman.

        Exercise fricking sucks tho. It's not fun, engaging or even interesting. Lifting weights etc is the most brain numbing shit one can do next to fricking factory line assembly work

          Going to the gym is the easiest way to kill time on my days off. I don't think it's particularly fun, but it's a better use of my time than being here.

            I much rather spend such free time drawing stuff or going on walks where I can think about the shit I want to draw. I despise repetitive and streneous physical activities because they distract me from my thoughts. Plus they are just not fun to engage in in the first place. Back when I tried going to gym I was just constantly annoyed by how fricking boring it was.

      This is the kind of sluggish person who thinks you only have time for two things in a day. I often read to unwind after I get home from the gym; there’s nothing stopping anyone from studying philosophy or learning an instrument and also working on their body
      Also their first panel is partially wrong. I have a cousin who’s a 6’7” former football player: dude is huge and people are fascinated by it and think it makes him interesting

    The idea that both will be saggy when old is also coping. Way more likely that the ripped guy will still be able to live a more active lifestyle when he is older because he took care of his body. His bones and joints will be stronger, his cardiovascular health will also likely be far superior to the sedentary, seething redditor.

          Meh, somewhat. When people get fit they usually also increase their grooming standards which can make you a little less ugly. And obviously if you're really fat and you lose weight, your jawline will become more defined. But if you're horribly ugly, you will still be pretty damn ugly.

          But whether you are a 10/10 or a 2/10, you should be working out.

      its materialism, communism and all other forms of leftist gobbledyasiatic are materialist ideology and therefore inherently linked by the common ground of a materialist worldview, the denial of the human spirit and its ability of conquering its lower animalistic desires.

      Self improvement is an expression of the human spirit and therefore bad, sloth is an expression of animalistic behavior and therefore good (body positivity)

    We do make movies about that, it's just usually about people escaping horrible life circumstances and overcoming their disadvantages, so it'll probably be about an individual belonging to some kind of minority group, or from a very disadvantaged socio-economic background, not some mid-20s white American going to the gym and not jerking off.

          Realistically you're going to want more for bench, rows and whatever you do with legs, you could get adjustable dumbbells and plates that are much heavier than that.

          But yeah something like:
          >bench
          >rows
          >ohp
          >flyes
          >curls
          >lateral raise
          >bulgarian squat
          >deadlift
          >ab roll
          Is a reasonable amount of lifts that you can easily do with just dumbbells, won't even need all that tbh.

      Is half an hour a day enough for just basic exercise or should I bump it up to an hour?

      • 2 weeks ago
        Anonymous

        For lifting weights go hit 3 heavy compounds (squats/deadlifts, bench/ohp, pullups/rows) lifts 3 times a week (2 sets, 6-8 reps each), that's about 1 to 1.5 hours (you need rest days, don't skip them).
        Increase your weight by 5 pounds on each lift every time you do it until you plateau, by then you should be pretty strong and you can do your own research to start optimizing your gains but this will get 90% of people on the right track.
        Remember that you can have the perfect fricking program but if you aren't consistent you will remain fat and weak.
        You can spare 3 hours a week to get ripped, you are really telling me you don't frick around doing something useless for 3 hours a week?

        If you are trying to get IST then listen to the 2 prior posts, but if you are just trying to remain active and not be a fattie then 30 minutes is enough if you hit it hard.

          30 min a day actually adds up to more than the 3 hours the other anons recommended. It's an underrated way to train. Just don't push yourself to failure and don't take rest days. It's how I like to do it.
