Cardio anons wya. I’m about to run 6 miles. Just started Sherwood Anderson’s ‘Winesburg Ohio’.

>> No.21266820

I had this thought after going down the rabbit hole and watching a ton of makeup transformation videos: women, on average, are really not more beautiful than most men. Makeup really gives them a leg up, and men don't have a makeup-equivalent. I started doing some more thinking and I realized that when men are beautiful, truly beautiful, they outclass just about every truly beautiful woman I can remember seeing. I don't think this is as much a physical thing as it is a psychological thing, but for some reason I have this sense that men have much more potential and are capable of much more development than women are.
This is also slightly related to another thought, the thought that women, on average, tend to be seen as more valuable then men, just because they are women. You here these women on social media and the general impression you get is that they can't find men that are "worthy" of them, they can't find men who meet their standards. And for a long time my reaction to this was to tell myself that their standards were too high, that they were too entitled and too picky, and move on, my hatred for them growing. But then I wondered if I could make myself "more valuable" than them, to change things so that I was in a position to say that they weren't worthy of me. And this lead me down a general track of self-improvement (not in the meme way; perhaps a better term would be self-development), and of course physical fitness is a large part of this.
Anyways thanks for reading my blogpost

they went through decades of child abuse... so hating women is just cope, otherwise they would have to acknowledge that what happened to them was not something good, true, or beautiful
the irony is that it's women who encourage and catalyze such child abuse, especially after they hit the wall i.e. reach the ripe old age of 25 (although I will confess that I've seen "liberated" girls who abused drugs & gay cock who look like 50 even though they are just 24)

yeah it was not necessarily a comment on you, more like exploiting what the other guy said in order to get rid of some hate i consider valuable but would not put in any work of literature i may be working on (or not)
i am happy you have a nice life, although the relationship with the father is more relevant for a girl... in that book about IQ (Bell Curve? can't be assed to look it up now) there were longitudinal studies that pointed out that a girl raised by a single father did as well in life as a girl raised by a splendid family... meanwhile a girl raised by a single mother was always a disaster
anyway, regarding your original post, there is more than meets the eye. there is a saying (probably by Goethe) that goes something like "we like girls for what they are, and we like boys for what they promise to be"; by that standard you ARE gay.

Being completely honest with you.
It is good to be physically fit, and it is good to read books. It's good to discuss how to do these things better. I learned a lot from fit, and I got many good reccomendations from lit.
But you posted a black and white picture of a male model on an anonymous website, in order to accompany you essentially saying "I read books and lift weights"
Despite being good things that everybody should do, the way you've gone about the creation of this thread, and the image you project, from my perspective at least, is that of somebody who isn't mentally well

Not a /fit/izen but that's some peak hylic shit right there. There's a reason physical culture used to be a big part of most religions and occult movements up until very recently and still is in the east. Imagine comparing bodily fitness, something healthy which requires discipline and hard work, to makeup, which is the exact opposite in terms of virtues.

Oops I pasted in only part of my post.

I haven't worked out in two weeks and have been off track with my fitness goals. It's unfortunate but setbacks are inevitable in life.

I'm reading Flaubert's sublime and magnificent Salammbô, his utterly unique , baroque, lurid, brutal and lavish "Carthaginian epic." It's about Carthage during the Mercenary War, an incident which arose after Carthage's defeat in the First Punic War. The First Punic War was of unprecedented scale, lasting over two decades and involving massive expenditures for warships and manpower. Carthage tried to wiggle its way out of paying its mercenaries fully, triggering a broad uprising .

I'm working on this stack atm and lifting dumbbells (lateral rise, upright row, bicep curls), doing squats, bicycle crunches, and take a cold shower.
Hyperatrophy is gay, I just want to continue to be able to lift my kids up.

Calf raises require a shit ton of reps to do anything. This is just because of the muscle itself. In this way, the best exercise for your calves is running / walking. If your calves are pathetic there isn't any harm to the exercise itself, but you should focus more on compounds (squat/bench/dead/ohp) and maybe do them as a superset or something.
The calf muscles are also the most genetic dependent muscles in your body. Arnold Schwarzenegger famously had shitty calves and couldn't do anything about it in spite of the concoction of top-of-the-line steroids he took in his prime.
I would say you should look at your body and consider what parts you want to improve, and ask yourself if your calves are really so unabashedly shit you want to spend time focusing on them instead of anything else.

>> No.21274330

>>21271700
No. Train a good sport, do your reading and studying, knock your lifts down to 2 days a week, bang for your buck heavy compounds. I did this, my life has improved a lot. Find shit that is fit, and that you love doing. Forgive this heavy handed thing I am about to say, but just lifting will get you nowhere. Most lifters hate lifting, they just cope by turning into the heckin' gymtok zoomed irony bro schizo lifter identity. You will see within the next 5 years that 99% of lifters will literally turn into skinny fat goblins again. Don't make fitness a damn chore lads.

Anon's chest is well developed, just look at ancient greek statues or renaissance satues, or George Sandow who has an ideal non-roidtranny bodybuilder chest, none of these have big titty chests. Big tits on men are for homos and is not even indicative of physical fitness lol kill yourself
>You can't obtain the broad chests on the globo-homo diet
On the contrary, all the hormones and estrogens in globohomo food will make your chest look like tits if you lift, or just give you saggy mantits if you don't. Pre-industrial normal food could never dream of creating such disgusting physiques as pic related lol

You're not naturally scrawny, you just have a weak upper body and probably consume a caloric deficit naturally. You must be on your feet more than you realize. Simply increase calories a little and begin a simple program.
