/lit/ - Literature

>>19640747
When you work out your neurons are actually strengthened so probably not.

Each thread about a social media post represents a book /lit/ didn't discuss

facts are fucking useless by themselves though

>>19640765

You could say this about literally any interest compared to another. It's silly that they made the comparison to something that is also productive, that isn't really much of a gotcha.

>haha what I enjoy is better than what you enjoy stupid bodybuilder LOL

>yes, I "memorise fun facts"
>how could you tell?

It's literally a false dichotomy to make working on your body and working on your mind mutually exclusive like the twitter nigger did. You can read a book and go to the gym/backyard. Stay /fitlit/.

>>19640747
No. Neither do the Greeks. You best get back to your studies.

>>19640747
No, this is stupid.
Each of his tweets takes five squats of healthy exercise time away from this twerp

>>19640806
agreed, /fitlit/ is the most based combo you could possibly achieve.

Quite often seeing chud nerds around here

I know this is a low IQ bait thread but:
If you read and learn then you'll grow and acquire knowledge. You might even find meaning and purpose in life. Lifting weights because some teens on 4chan shilled it and because there is no other method of masculinity in the current times is not a good investment. Your muscles will shrink once you stop going to gym.

I know most of you are low IQ, don't read and you only go to gym because it's shilled enough here. You wouldn't go to gym if 4channers didn't call it le based and le redpill.

/fitlit/ imagines themselves both but in reality they are neither.

>>19640981
Going to the gym should br about keeping your body healthy

>>19640747
>life is about choices
WOW
>>19640985
You can probably mix both, in some sense. Unless you want to be hardcore /fit/ then yes.

>>19640992
Did you know that you can do other forms of exercise to keep your body healthy? Im pretty sure many of you gymcels would like to play some team sport or swim or something rather than autistically lift objects.
The real reasons why 4channers go to gym are
1) shilled enough. This is comparable to eating bugs if you see enough ads of bug food
2) Feel masculine. You can't feel masculine being a wagie or a NEET. Need some feeling of power and manhood
3) Muscles are a primitive form of mate-guarding. Subconsciously trying to look bigger and exaggerate fighting ability.

twatter posters should be executed on the spot

>>19640981
Going to the gym helps me with my study routine more than two free hours would. I do not know how that is a shill

Guppy is absolutely correct

i hate you

I squat 400lbs, did +10,000 pullups and read 46 books last year

>>19640747
Years ago a faggot told me

"You can't be both strong and smart"

And I said

"Fuck off"

Today I am 55kg heavier, benching 150kg and in college while he is still as skinny as ever, working the fields in our home village

>>19641095
no that would be your diary

I don't read. I come here to memorise snappy answers to stupid statements.

>>19641116
you DIDN"T read 10,000 sentences you could have. and one of them would have changed your life.

>>19640981
OP here. I think if you read and learn you should have the insight and introspection not to lift because some 4chinners shilled it but have a better reason for it. Preferably a reason coming from your personal philosophy or an understanding of where you and your body are headed which is partially developed by reading.

>>19641019
Yes. Please kill me. (OP here)

>>19641129
ESL how?

Gotta love the mention of fun facts. You just know he won't know shit about poetry or languages but he will be ready to explain to you how white chocolate isn't actually chocolate

>>19641116
Is the squat cumulative too?

>>19641152
You should lift because a strong mind can only be housed in a strong body. Also you learn better if you take breaks. You'll be better off if your breaks are workouts instead of your mother's chicken tendies

>>19640747
Each tweet posted by a twatter represents a brain cell lost, a chance to delete your account missed, a pointless and insipid argument that could've been avoided.

>>19640747
I listen to audiobooks when i work out, and somehow have time to exercise and also read

>>19641212
I don't know man... Seems to me like some people might've learned something from this thread even though my post was simple twatter bait.

Working out is usually the most accessible way to experience objective positive feedback from effort. And I mean strength and health more so than admirers, but that too.
In a world where politics, economics, culture, has a large disconnect between its supposedly-meritocratic and liberal values and its actual appraisals of worth and rewards of wealth and success, working out has become the materialist secular world’s manifestation of ataraxia. Very much like the Hellenistic philosophical age being concerned with the soul and virtue in its philosophy, because everything around them was turbulent and divided among varying empires, etc., it is not a sign of sacrifice in pursuit of wisdom, but a necessary ritual for equilibrium.
Those who work out are more likely to care about self-improvement and usually consider literature or some other art form to be part of that.

>>19640912
it's cringe.

>>19641262
Not sacrificing the pursuit of wisdom*, I mean

>>19641016
You forgot number 4,
>closeted homosexuals want to look at half naked men
I go for a run everyday, a swim every third day, and go rock/treeclimbing in the bush every four days.

>>19641056
Each fake quote of Thucydides represents a copy of Peloponnesian War unopened, a Melian dialogue he didn't read, a funeral oration he never memorised

>>19641056
gymcels see themselves as warriors? most of them don't even do cardio

>>19641256
This thread isn't happening on twitter. That's the key difference.

>>19640747
The bodybuilder is probably already done with his workout, breakfast and hygiene by the time this nigger rolls out of bed.

exercise has many neural benefits

>>19640747
Just do both it's not even hard

>>19640981
Working out is the only peace I get in the world
