what anon said

>>5907018
I don't care about cultivating a thing. I care about being jacked as shit and having your girl suck my dick while I read Tacitus in the original Latin and lol heartily at the manlets and betas of the world.

>>5907076
>thinks blowing up to a marvel superhero will result in anything but other homosexuals sucking his dick

stay gay, fag

>>5907076
see ops pic? if u go any bigger than that you're either doing life in prison, a fucking fag, or both

>>5907076
Ahah christ almighty you sound like an insecure faggot! Feels good knowing there are people as simple minded and delusional as you out there in this big ol' world of ours.

>>5907031
you can keep your filthy commie measurements

>>5907083
One such as enlightened as yourself surely has no qualms with the homosexual community?

>>5907076
and another "muscle bottom" is born!

LOL Real Analysis is probably the most logically problematic area of modern math, pleb OP, see Norman Wildberger for more details

you'ns hear them teeth chippin' itt?

This whole thread is bait, isn't it?

>>5907097
surely one as "jacked" and "alpha" as yourself is not a fag? oh hohoho, just kidding, of course you're a fag!

>>5907083
You can't get that big without lots of steroids and extreme dedication. The natural limit is closer to the statue in the OP with somewhat bigger chest and thigh muscles than what you're probably imagining.

>>5906988

I'm so glad my life doesn't include people like you.

It's like you're a bunch of highschoolers trying to justify their shitty grades with "muh personality".

>>5907240
I'm not an asshole I just do what I need to do to get replies brother. And hopefully threads like this can help encourage some /lit/ posters to lead a healthier lifestyle.

>tfw listening to audiobooks/language tapes while working out at the gym

Why aren't you living a superior lifestyle based on virtue and humility /lit/?

>>5907271
>I'm not that guy, but what kind of soulless fucking neckbeard feels the need to berate people with better bodies/minds than them?

i don't know why don't you ask the guy they are replying to since he was doing just that...reading latin and blowing up to he-man size just sounds like you're some kid who got molested by a priest. protip: steroids aren't a cure for being gay

>>5907271

>It's like you're a bunch of highschoolers

He says while randomly attaching pictures of hot women to his posts like a horny little schoolboy.

>>5907338

You really don't understand how literature works if you think that your cognitive patterns are functioning in the same way when listening to an audiobook passively as they are when specifically reading and analysing a text.

Go back to whatever board you came from it's obvious that you're too casual to try and literati rep here you tourist.

>>5906988

> You don't know shit about literature until you can move something heavy and can do some sums.

How is this relevant to reading?

>>5907271
/fitlit/, its not that people would hate your bodies. They can be amazing and gorgeous and all that.

What people dislike in you is your massive insecure which you patch up with need to show off, blind celebration of machismo and other habits that just annoy the shit out of others. If you need to specifically say that you're good in something, rather than allow it to be shown naturally, you have already failed.

>>5907451

/thread

>>5907451

to be fair their machismo wankers are a lot like our adolescent pseudos. both communities have their glaring shitstains to them. but the reason this thread is so horrible is because it's the equivalent of one of our young pseudos going over to /fit/ and saying something desperately poser like "i see all of you like to argue about fitness but i bet none of you even know what the socratic method is hahaha you don't even know how to reason properly" or some lame shit like that.

>>5907271
to save my ego from what? some nerd's fantasy of not being a little bitch for once in his life? lellll being "alpha" or "beta" are personality types, not body types, you can't cure beta any more than you can cure gay, some people are born to lead, some are born to follow, deal with it, bitch

>>5907492

>i know i'm wasting time on 4chan as i talk about people born to lead the hypocrisy is obvious to me i'm just not very good at baiting okay please play along i'd appreciate it

So much bitter misconception as fucking usual.

/fit/ is one of the most positive and accommodating boards. Sure they'll mock your progress like Lit will mock your poetry and short stories if your vain enough to post it here but 'meatheads' is a big flashing beacon alerting everyone the poster using it doesn't know what he's talking about and still holds to high school stereotypes.

>>5907606
i'm sorry but /fit/ and /fa/ just reek of beta kids trying to get laid (and in denial about being gay)...it's a sad scene.

Greetings, original poster.

That is quite an amount. Congrats on remaining dedicated to lifting. You are an alright person, if a bit of a boaster. I'm glad that you got an A in Real Analysis. Keep up the good work. I am serious.

I wish all of you itt a nice day and some well-deserved inner peace.

This.

i'm like 6 feet 180 or so, if I put on another 30 pounds of muscle i would still look like a normal person, not some big "muh gains are so alpha" man-gorilla

>>5908432
it's generally really hard or impossible to look like a gorilla unless you do steroids or are willing to be quite fat as well as muscular.

It's like you guys live in some highschool drama movie.

>>5908842

>Not giving books a cursory reading before analyzing them

Exactly. At some point the text needs to be actually read and not just passively listened to if you want to properly analyze it. There was no mentioned of cursory reading or reading of any sort in the post that I was replying to, you are trying to editorialize after the fact.

Thanks for proving my point you moron.

>>5908867
>At some point the text needs to be actually read and not just passively listened to if you want to properly analyze it
And?
>There was no mentioned of cursory reading or reading of any sort in the post that I was replying to, you are trying to editorialize after the fact.
I never mentioned analysis either you dunce.

Besides, you act as though literature is only valuable if it's painstakingly analyzed. I can see a Shakespeare play and realize it's beautiful and be moved by it without taking notes. You sound like your entire idea of how "literature works" comes from high school English classes.

Maybe if you studied more mathematics you'd have a better sense of reading comprehension and beauty. Maybe if you worked out more you'd see the world more sensually instead of having to dissect everything. Which brings us back to the OP, you clearly don't know shit about literature.

This thread is proof that /lit/ is filled with tumblrinas. I doubt many of them have been here for more than a couple of months.

How insecure do you have to be to even think some of the replies here.

Post this thread on ANY other board, and you won't be getting half of the replies. None of them would even be half as mad as some people in here are.

It's truly pathetic.

This thread is now henceforth a male/white appreciation thread.

Fuck yeah Athena, the whitest male there is.

>>5909128
>>5909128
That was just to symbolize the glory of both the wisdom and the arts that the white man has blessed us with, but since your hairy vagina is craving male bootay so much, this one is just for you.

>>5909143
Oops. Forgot pic. Almost disappointed, weren't you?

>I can see a Shakespeare play and realize it's beautiful and be moved by it without taking notes.

There is a difference between this and only ever passively listening to novels in audiobook form without any degree of even basic analysis on your part. You cannot passively listen to difficult texts and expect this to be an equally effective way of gaining a sound understanding of them as reading and rereading affords you.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're baiting here because there is no way you need something this obvious seriously explained to you.

>>5909151

>>5907092

>>5909153
Obviously the experience varies from book to book, but I don't see how listening is inherently worse than reading, literature evolved from oral story telling traditions.
Take Lolita for example, all the word play is brought out even more brilliantly in an audio medium. I'm not a fucking retard so all the references and parallels to Poe and Catullus. I'm not writing a thesis on the book, I'm "reading" it to amuse myself. Recently I've been listening to Orages d'acier to practice my French, hah, because just reading isn't nearly as engaging. Why do you assume that listening=passive?

You sound like a teenager who take's /lit/ memes too seriously.

>There are people who actually believe that a person can be both intellectual and physically attractive.

kek. What's next, a person can be into both mathematics and literature?

>>5909251

>Obviously the experience varies from book to book

Which is why a general rule of only ever listening to audiobooks is necessarily faulted as an approach to all literature.

Look just stop posting you're not very good at it.

>>5906988

Anyway, I kind of agree with you.

Don't do this shit, I need to know if you're serious or not. I too confused right now

they do.

and so does EVERY FUCKING BOARD ON 4CHAN.

most of the rest of the internet too.

>>5909297
I was serious anon. Stay healthy and happy.

>>5909292
I think what the guy is trying to say is just because he DOES listen to audiobooks, that DOESN'T mean it's the only way he gets his literature.

>he reads too

and you're just assuming that since he DOES listen to audiobooks, that he NEVER actually reads.

but there was nothing in that post to indicate that thing.
