this whole post jeez OP you're NGMI with that attitude keep drawing keep lifting and exercising shit isn't instant gratification and success stuff like this takes fucking time and HARD WORK

[Anonymous No.3387715]

Not good at picking out bait posts but imo sports and lifting is one of the best things you could do to complement drawing. Sports go a long way in instilling a sense of regimentation and discipline that is often lacking in creatives, so in that sense I think doing 3 hours of sports or lifting is is way better than just drawing all the time. Also fitness in general is just good for doing anything that requires you to use your head.

This guy gets it, exercise in general has been shown to do wonders for the brain and creativity overall makes you feel more confident and better about yourself. Balance it out with a good 7 to eight hours of sleep a night and your gonna feel incredible, but discipline, time and consistency takes a huge role in this stuff. So get to it OP.

This is true as fuck. I've been a /fit/fag for a bit over a year, and the discipline and confidence I've gained from lifting has definitely carried over to my art work ethic. The whole reason I started browsing /ic/ was in the hopes that immersing myself here will keep me motivated to do art, the same way /fit/ keeps me motivated to keep lifting.

pic related has some pretty good tips especially the one about vitamin D, I hear a lot of artist are vitamin D deficient, due to lack of sunlight from not going out. Get the best natural source of and go outside, a simple thing like that can do wonders for your body, look up the effects of vitamin D.

While we're on the issue of lifting and tremors. I have recently started to get a tremor on my left thumb, usually after lifting it will get really bad and will last for several hours. I'm beginning to worry it might be something serious, I'm barely 27.

INTENSE exercise, COULD make you age faster.
obviously when you exercise at the intensity of an olympian or professional athlete or do retarded crossfit shit or something, your body will be stressed tremendously and that will have plenty of negative side effects.
However that type of intensity is not something you would ever be doing, so when literally every single physician, physiotherapist, nutritionist etc tells you exercise is good for your health, maybe it is the reactionary clickbait article that is wrong.

[Anonymous No.3388610]

>>3388548
Where to even start with this mess of an article. Long distance steady state cardio can prematurely age you from the accumulation of prolonged stress on the body. This is not the same thing as high intensity training and HIIT is basically the opposite of steady state so right off the bat the article gets that wrong. The doctor and subsequently the article is also misinterpreting something very basic. It's saying lower thyroid activity is associated with longevity. Your average person in current year's entire endocrine system is completely fucked from terrible lifestyle, poor diet and high eating frequency. The 90 year old Israeli who said “I eat to live, I don’t live to eat” is correct; he's not spiking his insulin all the time by eating frequently, so his endocrine system has probably been in good shape his entire life. Fast (or rather, effective) metabolism is your body's ability to absorb nutrients from your food, so I don't understand how having ineffective metabolism is going to make you live longer, which the article more or less claims.

If you think sitting at a desk 8 hours a day and doing zero exercise is going to be beneficial to your longevity because some 3rd rate news website told you that exercise is bad in some article with wishy-washy science you're in for a surprise down the road.

>>3388565

How can you even do a profession like art without feeling the need to do some physical activity to offset all the sitting?

[boxman No.3388760]

so much rage and misinformation
i will let you be the judge but /fit/ almost ruined my life squatting in jean shorts DONT DO IT
fucked up my abs which took forever to fix and i couldn't stabilize my core and yes it affected drawing

anyways why you should lift (for /ic/ related gains)

-for the gals and their first glance to be like oh ok! but then when you open your mouth they leave obviously. do it just so the average stranger will mire you rather than thinking "the one" will drop dead at your feet and go "oh anon ~t-those muscles" it's just nice to be occasionally complimented on your physique is all. good for your self esteem.

-squat so you can move shit like easels in the art room, it is functionally good. also being able to stand without getting tired.

-BI'S AND TRI'S . curls dont just get the gurls.
i ignored this and my forearms exploded and it fucking made the way i hold a pencil weird.

-get one of those pullup bars and just hang if you cant do a pullup, you'll at least unfuck your shoulder.

-hula hoop. yeah its gay, but uh it helps with making you walk less aspie and have a more natural groove.

-ab exercises are good. your core is key to stabilizing the pencil.
think about drawing a straight line versus a curved line, the straight line requires a bunch of muscles to be in coordination while a curved line can be done with your wrist going idgaf
extrapolate, the more muscles you can coordinate the more control you have.

[boxman No.3388762]

>>3388760


-Balance, ok this is where i am going to be blunt:
FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED

if you start overlifting one part of yourself you are going to throw off your drawing.

it is better to be a skinny weaking bro who can draw and is all around proportional than a dude who semi-interested in /fit/ because you are going to through off your natural "whatever" and it will negatively affect drawing.

i wish i could give you some magic workout routine but in general starting strength is good (squats + deadlifts + bench press) i would throw in pull ups and pushups.

you know what if you are going to do /fit/ x /ic/ don't work with weights.
just use bodyweight exercises. anything else is going to throw you out of proportion and it will negatively affect drawing. if you do weights and get too into the /fit/ lifestyle

well it's going to fuck with your mind, being /fit/ is super shallow and being an artist is more than caring about shallow things.

Jesus boxman, keep it up.

[Yaasbetch No.3389275]

One of the original "strongmen" Eugen Sandow advocated the use of extremely light dumbbells (5lb) to craft his storied physique, however we have learned today that there is utility to using heavier weights as well-not the least of which being the fact that lighter weights take a longer time to reach the "climax" of rep failure than do heavier weights.

Still, in lieu of heavy, expensive weights I currently use 10lb and 25lb dummbells, 3 sets per exercise with the third being a "pyramid" set (start at the heavier weight and move down to the lighter weight at failure) to close out most of the exercises I do. I know that a gym membership and expensive, bulky pieces of iron are not something that everyone can make space for or afford, so take heart in that you can definitely get and see results without a major investment.

I am still an amateur in this field but my gains over just a few short months of wanting to improve my physical and mental state have been appreciable. Lifting weights and other physical activity is a key component in mental health and if you're not doing it now I urge you to consider taking it up. The only thing I would suggest is that you do something every day or almost every day.

Diet is important, too. Protein and iron, lads. Don't be afraid of whole eggs. I eat six of them a day. Eggs, lentils and oats are some of the cheapest sources of complex carbs, protein and iron out there. You should of course eat meat as well if you can afford it or have the inclination!

One of the best things we as adults can do for our health is address any dietary issues we might have, to accept that as adults we are possibly better off eating things that don't taste "conventionally good" to us in order to help us improve the other important areas of our life like our body and our psychological well-being.
