That feel when I'll never bulk up enough to impress my Japanese maid girlfriend.

i lift cheeseburgers into my mouth.

Youmu doesn't look like stupid body builder to me.

No.

Doing push ups or jogging is really boring. I wanted to do kendo or fencing, but there is no place in my city that does that.

Gay.

>>10543728
How could she have rock-hard abs when she's the softest?

Yeah, she lifts her sword and stuff

Yeah, I do 400 pushups a day since this summer, and substitued completely urban public transport and car with walking.
now I can make explode a sealed plastic water bottle crushing it without much effort, and run at dog speed. I'm pretty surprised of the results...

What is the name for that kind of 'binding' she is wearing?

OF COURSE

>>10543758
Sarashi

I do Pilates

>>10543728
youmu!

How much can Youmu squat?

>>10543766
Thanks dude

>>10543769
What martial art is that?

>>10543755
> I do 400 pushups

Welcome to muscular imbalance

Don't do only pushups dude. Try doing some dips and pullups as well, at least.

>>10543739
>Doing push ups or jogging is really boring.

OP said "lift."

>>10543785
You are lifting your own weight when you do push ups, you dumb fuck faggot.

>>10543739
If you hate doing pushups and jogging, you'll never be good at fencing.

You're like my niece who wants to be an MMA fighter, but all she ever does is punch things. She doesn't seem to realize, professional fighters do tons of pushups every day, and run up mountains.

>>10543785

That also is boring.

Plus I already failed the "gym" thing 3 times in a row, I am not going to go make an ass out of myself again to people who will recognize me.

My life is sorrow please subscribe to my blog www.gaysaddude.com

>>10543787
omg tricked

>>10543790
Buy a weight set and do it in the comfort of your own home.

That's what I did anon.

I want to start running, but I don't have any courage to do so.

In one hand I could spend my time trying to fit in a gym, trying to shape a body that anyways will turn into dust someday and won't be remembered by anyone, why trying?

On the other hand I can sit at home in front of the computer and masturbate （´・ω・`）

>>10543789
Do you lift? Can I lick your abs?

I lift my fat greasy ass hambone cheeto-stained fingers onto the keyboard.

>>10543800
What's scaring you?

>>10543830
Mostly running in front of people and them laughing at me. I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but I'm a massive pussy, and it also doesn't help that I live in a town where everybody knows each other.

>Pilates is a body conditioning routine that may help build flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back.[4] It puts emphasis on spinal and pelvic alignment, breathing, and developing a strong core or center, and improving coordination and balance. Pilates' system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginning to advanced. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises.[

>>10543782
What's muscular imbalance? I've become stronger everywhere, not only arms, doing pushups
>>10543739
Yes, its fucking boring. I do 25 a time, and it takes less than a minute. you should just break up the power ups as you see fit. when I started I did 20 a day, in four parts of 5. when you start to get used to you add more little by little.
gyms are fucking boring and gay.

>>10543836
Ah, its like Aikido

>>10543842
>20 a day, in four parts of 5.
Didn't you mean 5 parts of 20 per day?

I run in place for an hour to some music to make it less boring monday-thursday (should start exercising on sunday though too) and at night I do various stretching. That's all I really need.

>>10543842
It's when one muscle is stronger than the opposing one

Pushups only works a few muscles, by doing hundreds of them each day and nothing else, you are training only these few muscles.

For example, maybe now you don't have any problems, but you'll end up with an overtly developed chest in comparison to your back. It's not just a question of aesthetics, you have more chance of getting injured with muscular imbalance.

I wish I could have a girlfriend as fit as that Youmu; but I know it wont be possible when I am skinny-fat and incredibly weak. Not only can I not attract a girl who actually cares about her body, I have to feel the constant shame of being weaker than the average woman.

Time to start exercising! I shall buy a jump rope and do some push ups on a regular basis. Once I am at the point where I want more, I will go lift weights.

Baby steps!

You are not going to develop muscles doing push-ups.

First of all, you won't get "stronger" past a certain point doing pushups.

Your endurance will improve, and you will get better at doing lots of pushups, but you won't get stronger without actually increasing the resistance.

>>10543775
I imagine she's something like 50 kilos, so maybe 70 kilos since she's unable to roid.

>>10543916
I don't think she weighs that much

What is the point of doing all of those pushups if you can't even lift a log?

It's time to get a job and buy a weight set.

>>10543833
You could run in the wee hours of the morning, or in your own home.

>>10543887
I'm pretty sure pushup don't really improve your overall "strength", it only makes you have large shoulders, which are a pain.

>>10543924
Muscles are pretty heavy. 48 kg is the lightest women's weightlifting weight class. She's got to be at least that, even if she's small in the frame.

>>10543863

I don't do them exactly every day but you get the picture.

>>10543930

>It's time to get a job

Good fucking luck

>>10543931
Pushups do not develop your shoulders.

>>10543931
>>10543930
But, I keep getting stronger, and my shoulders are always the same...

>>10543936
Well, I didn't consider Youmu to be particularly muscular even if she is fit.

According to this attached image, Yuomu is roughly 5 feet tall. Judging from how she looks slender in almost all art, I would not place her weight above 115 lb.
http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/SquatStandards.html states that an "Intermediate" level squat for a 115 lb woman would be roughly 115 lb.
I chose "Intermediate" because she does not appear to be muscular.

>>10543948
She swings two long heavy swords around all the time. That will most definitely build muscle.

>>10543968
Imagine how Momiji is, with her big as fuck sword.

>>10543962
you have taste in pixivs

>>10543962
Rampant steroid abuse distorts the public view of "muscular." Non-doped muscular people don't look very extraordinary in loose clothes like Youmu's dress shirt and skirt. For reference, here's a 53 kg olympic hopeful.

>>10543980
Pardon?

>>10543983
>Rampant steroid abuse distorts the public view of "muscular."
Yes. Trust me, as an avid weightlifter, I know how ignorant the average person can be of the field.

>Non-doped muscular people don't look very extraordinary in loose clothes like Youmu's dress shirt and skirt.
I am aware of this. I'll explain my reasoning for me claiming she is not "muscular" --
Going by ZUN's art (which, I'd like to add, most fanart adheres to), Yuomu's forearms and calves do not appear to show any muscle at all, which, given her low body fat, should be visible. Furthermore, she has no shoulder/trap development at all. Obviously there is a big gray area here (I'm analyzing how muscular a touhou is, for fuck's sale, why am I doing this, oh god help me) given that ZUN's artistic abilities frankly suck and that he probably wouldn't even know how to draw a slightly-muscular character.

I'd like to thank you for that picture. I hadn't thought of her, but she seems a good comparison to Yumou. Ms. Wright is roughly 5' and 116 lb, which is similar to my estimation of Yuomu. But you can just look at her arms and calves (two parts of the body that are also visible in official art of Yumou) and see that she is more muscular.
Unfortunately I cannot find how much Ms. Wright squats.

yo gay son

>>10544016
Please, boys AND girls are pretty.

>>10544017
yea, PRETTY GAY!

>>10544026
:(

>>10544012
>Going by ZUN's art
This is where I have to disagree. Even Yuugi has noodle limbs and flat chest in official art and yet everyone accepts her as a muscle and titty monster. I think that Youmu's active, martial, premodern lifestyle would naturally make her, and even demand her to be, quite strong and that is better starting base than ZUN's scribbles.
Olympic style? I'm a powerlifter

>>10544031
sorry. can we be friends again?

>>10543948
you can have muscles and still be soft, cutting fat is more for weight divisions and bodybuilding, moreover a lot of muscle mass is distributed over the thighs

>>10543962
i dunno she looks a bit stocky and short in canonical art, not particularly skinny

>>10544064
I think most of the 'errand girl' Touhous (Maybe even Sakuya) would be fairly toned, what with all of the work and chores they do.

>>10543962
This one is better.

Less hideous lips.

>>10544152

>curvy lines for lips

lel xD

>>10544208
Better than sausage lip Eirin.
They look like they are about to pop off her head or something.

>>10544227

Lipstick.

You are seeing an illusion because it's 2D

Will lifting really allow me to have such a slender, smooth figure? I thought that was a cardio thing. She doesn't even have any of those muscle saliences besides her delicious midriff.

>>10544459
Weight lifting will cause you to lose weight.

You can probably obtain a toned figure from that, anon.

>>10544466
But won't I also gain muscle mass?

What's the training regime best suited to have a feminine body type? I'm afraid of trying anything because my figure might become more masculine, but I'm also afraid of getting a disproportionate big gut. So far I am skinny without muscle mass and no noticeable fat, but not only am I afraid of that changing, I would also like to try a healthier lifestyle without it destroying how I look. I'm not looking to get it on with guys or girls. I just like this particular body type.

I'm sorry of hijacking this thread with this question but I'm sure /fit/ will bully me for asking something like this.

>>10544523
You want a more feminine body type?

Try swimming and running, with a bit of weight lifting.

Swimming and running builds resistance and may also give you that toned, feminine look you're going for.

>>10544523
>What's the training regime best suited to have a feminine body type?

Squats, along with glute and hamstring isolation. This will give you defined legs and butt while keeping the rest of your body relatively skinny.

>>10544539
This guy knows what he's talking about.

Go with what he says.

>>10544539
It's still good to do some "light" lifting for the upper body to keep it toned, if that's what he wants

>>10544539
>>10544543
I'm really sorry for making these questions. They sound like they make sense to me but they might sound stupid to knowledgeable people like you and >>10544532 seem to be.

Won't I have disproportionate-looking legs then? And muscled, on top of it? I want to avoid gaining too much muscle. And will that work on my waistline, avoiding me getting that fat belly I mentioned?

I've been considering flexibility exercises as well to help with my posture. I take it flexibility exercises don't reallt have any noticeable effect on how your body looks. Is this correct?

Broke a 112.5kg squat this week for 3 sets of 5. Feeling pretty confident about 115kg on Friday. I have 300 days to break a 180kg squat.

Trying to get a .75 bodyweight press in the same time frame. Pressing 3 times a week has helped a lot.

I'm doing Pavel's grease the groove on pull ups. Trying it for dips - but I have a feeling it's going to interfere with linear progress on the press.

Big thing is to just keep eating big and sleeping well, which I have messed up a little.Things would be easier if I were still a NEET.

>>10544563
>Won't I have disproportionate-looking legs then? And muscled, on top of it?

No. There's some trans girl on /fit/ with a smokin hot ass (would fug) and she squats about 140kg which is more than the majority of guys in the gym so you don't have to worry. You would see if you were getting too muscular and could stop anyway

>avoiding me getting that fat belly

Nothing will stop you getting fat other than not eating too much, exercise helps you work off your food though!

>I take it flexibility exercises don't reallt have any noticeable effect on how your body looks

It may improve your posture which would be noticeable but it will not affect the size of any of your body parts

>>10544628
Thank you very much for your help, mister! I'll have the coolest body ever! I know I can't win the race against time and hormones but I only intend to have this body type for as long as it can last.

>Nothing will stop you getting fat other than not eating too much

Yeah, I know that much. But if those exercises you suggested don't help burning fat on the sides, then I guess I'll throw in some sit-ups to the regimen you suggested. I don't have any so far but you can't be too careful.

I may lurk /fit/ and ask that girl for some more specific advice. Though she probably went further than I'll ever want to go.

>>10544673

the girl posts with the name CAKE I think.

good luck
