Best way to get through books is to go to a gym with one power rack, no squat racks, and no bench press stations like I do. I waste so much time waiting around for that one fucking power rack that I blow through a few chapters every time.

I'm in the same area and would just work out less, ~20hr/wk is a fairly insane commitment to fitness. It's not really sustainable unless you're working few hours.

Seems to me 15hr/wk fitness and 5hr/wk social life is more balanced.

>>11319789
Pushups of course.

Do crunches, not sit-ups. Situps are awful for your back. Crunches aren't even good for you but they're less bad for you than situps and largely equivalent.

A pullup bar is probably the best investment you can make for a home gym in terms of cost-effectiveness and usefulness.

There is no real way to train legs effectively at home though without a decent gym setup. You have to do stuff like pistol squats to get meaningful resistance and it doesn't work that well. So you will eventually need to go to the gym.

Part of me wants to tell you to just stop being a pussy and go to the gym while skinny.

Okay, pushups and crunches it is. If I could get a pullup bar in here I would, but it's probably not going to happen unfortunately.

[Anonymous No.11320007]

>>11319988
Except I live in an area where every fucking inch of sqftage costs a bazillion dollars. It's not the cost of the equipment that turns me off so much as the need to pay a higher rent to fit all the gym equipment in my house, in the long term that's actually the greater cost.

At the same time I'm eligible for neetbux subsidies that allow me to visit the horrible municipal gym for free. I also find it nice to get out of the house and actually interact with other people. I have to wait for equipment, but again, I simply see that as time to read and I get a huge amount of my overall reading done at the gym.

Yes genuinely, Vancouver is next to ocean and a very short distance from some mountains for hiking/skiing/snowboarding/climbing etc. A large reason why people live in the area is BECAUSE they're into outdoor sports.

The average person is still a skinnyfat hipster but Vancouver is an unusually active place nevertheless.

I'm currently working on cleaning up the plain text of this book I ripped from a shitty scanned pdf.

I'm finding it very simple and straightforward, but his brilliance is evident in every passage. Right at the beginning:
>He varied his exercises to avoid boredom.
Fuck, this is so obvious. In retrospect, so many times before I've started doing some kind of exercise intensively after one of those "enough!!!" moments.. Only to give up some weeks later. I always had some fucking excuse, but really, this is the culprit, right here. Doing the same shit everyday gets to be mind-crushingly boring.

[Anonymous No.11323952]

my point is more that "twinky" is the average, those groups are lean and fit but not intimidatingly massive in that /fit/ way (some climbers aside)
regardless, just commit to it. no one really gives a shit about you and, even if they did, what do you care. you can even start with bodyweight stuff and get to a reasonable starting point
https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine or http://www.startbodyweight.com/p/start-bodyweight-basic-routine.html, all you need is a pullup bar, which is $20

As of now I read finance textbooks and I'm one of the faggots posting in the Ted thread.

Routine is full bodyweight, I'm aiming for false grip muscle up right now as I can't seem to get the regular one without swinging like a mofo and getting my body parallel to the ground before hunching and dipping.

Next step is one hand push up and then L-sit to handstand, I find that move to fucking cool. I already have the pistol squat down with proper form.

Being able to control your body through space sound so attractive to me.

Stop comparing yourself to other men in the gym.
The roidheads in the gym will keep workout out to the point they leave humanity behind and women become scared of them rather than attracted to them. Aim for a specific physique and go for it.

Maybe also consider training your legs for strength instead of hypertrophy if they're outsized compared to your arms.
