I just got done reading some Psalms and now I'm heading to the gym to deadlift with the bros for a few hours. Then I plan to come home and progress on a short story for one of this months deadlines after I take a shower and eat.

There's nothing more fulfilling than making gains with a barbell and literary pursuits in the same day.

/fit/ & /lit/ was the Ancient Greek ideal. The philsophers would train in the gymnasion alongside the athletes. Socrates even called out people who neglected their fitness.

The Greeks and Romans absolutely did work out purely for aesthetic reasons. Not all of them, slaves for instance or subsistence farmers, but middle class citizens and up went to the gymnasion for socializing, for fun, and to get sick glutes and shredded quads, probably even more than we do today.

On top of this were athletic competitions with military training in mind such as foot races in armor, javelin throwing, fencing (short sword and shield) wrestling, and boxing, but these were also sports pursued for their own sake, as we do today. Military drill as members of the citizen militia would be in addition to every day athletics. Fat or skinny members of the citizen class were ridiculed as lazy, weak, self-indulgent, etc. Nobody gave a shit what slaves, barbarians and women did with themselves though.

Honestly man with a book like that it's more like a 25ft block of marble and you sort of spend half the time circling it trying to get a perspective, chiseling a few passages here and there, seeing other works based on it before returning to it, etc. What I've digested so far has been provoking to say the least but I'm not gonna pretend it's a book you sit down with and read through. Most of the stuff I read was so out of this world I had to look it up and then fall down a rabbit hole of browsing tabs. That's what it is, the references found in just a chapter of the book is enough to begin the engine theoretical possibilities. It's pretty sweet.

My ideal life would consist in playing soccer, reading, writing, smoking weed and hanging out with other friends. Grad school was basically as close as I would ever get to making that a reality, but it was awfully stressful, to the point that I stopped exercising almost entirely by the end of it.

I finished this spring, have already lost 15 pounds and stopped smoking weed, but all I do is play soccer and watch Netflix. I think I'm just recuperating after the load of grad school, but I haven't convinced myself to get back to disciplining my mind again yet. It's hard to balance being both /fit/ and /lit/.

it's not CGI and it's an alien race, you don't know what it's made of or the purpose of it's appearance. It looks to be mostly organic and grown onto (or out from) the body. Which makes sense, if much of your life involves interacting with tech, being able to organically interface with it is a standard thing, so a biotech suit of sorts is convenient. Such attachments and fuses of tech into our own bodies will be more and more common in the coming centuries.

very impressive. 1/2/3/4 is a hefty goal for most adult men. The numbers refer to the # of 45 lb (or 20 kg) plates on each side of a barbell. Each number (2/3/4/5) refers to a specific lift. 2 is overhead press (this is the most impressive of all them IMO, 2 pl8 OHP is really fucking heavy), 3 is 3 pl8 bench, 4 pl8 squat, 5 pl8 diddly aka deadlift.

Anyway good job anon. I find reading after the gym to be the most cathartic thing ever.

3 plate Bench Press (315 lbs, 140kgs)
4 plate Squat (405 lbs, 180kgs)
5 plate Deadlift (495 lbs, 220kgs)

"plate" just refers to the number of 45lb / 20kg weights on each side of the barbell.

Is it possible to be /fit/ and overweight at the same time? I've got a gut, but I did 17 push-ups without stopping less than two weeks ago, I go on a 5.5km walk roughly every week or two, and I also walk to get my groceries (includes walking back home with them over 1km, potentially over 2km), and I also go to the bank which is over 1km away by walking.

Is there a way to meet people to lift with? I enjoy weight lifting, but it gets really drudging and repetitive in the typical commercial gym that blasts shitty music; was thinking I might be more motivated, not to mention more effective by having someone to spot me, lifting with someone else. I don't have this same issue with running, I actually prefer running by myself.

As long as you're at least 25 and have a year of lifting expirience under your belt, it's really not a big deal. The recomended first cycle is 500mg/wk of test only. For 12 weeks so I would stick to that.

I like to visit /fit/ to motivate myself to get a Greek god's body but their sense of aesthetics outside of working out is pretty pathetic.

In this age when healthcare and medicine is so advanced and accessible, the only things you need to really do is to eat a healthy diet and have a 20 minute jog every weekend. Don't pretend working out and toning your body has any other significance than improving your self image and social climbing, not that there is anything wrong with that. /fa/ is a pretty shit and inactive board though, mostly because most people there are insecure teens with no other talents or interests and in turn have really shallow and sleep inducing personalities.

You have clearly never lifted before, or know anything about working out. There's a lot more to lifting than just getting gains to get girls. Most of the guys I know at the gym lift for themselves, not girls. They can all get girls regardless, even if they stopped lifting. For me it's all about perfecting my form and enjoying the beauty of perfect human movement. There's something absolutely beautiful and aesthetic about a perfect clean and jerk, for example. You pull it off and know that the Greeks and Romans are smiling down upon you.
