@reallyD0T @wanted4mogging There is no discipline and consistency that comes from training that bleeds into anything else. It can’t be applied to other facets because it doesn’t exist
It’s abysmal. Like making your bed. 4-6 hours a week of having fun. It’s nothing more, nothing less.

one thing i have come to observe in those around me, and in my former self, is that many people use the gym as a way to artificially replicate a sense of forward momentum in their life
it’s sort of like porn for improving your life. you can go in every week and get a little better, get a bit stronger
you can have no love life, you can be stuck in the same dead end job, you can have no real goals and ambitions but because you’re doing this one thing which takes “discipline” you can pat yourself on the back and feel like you’re doing well in life. especially cause you look better for it
but you don’t have the things you want, you don’t have the life satiation you desire, you aren’t surrounded by the types of people you want to be around and the longer you do it and the better you get at it the more time and effort that could go towards changing those things is eaten up by weighing your food and making sure to space out your eleven meals evenly across the day
i got caught in this loop for a large part of my adult life and i got very good results from it, but i can honestly say that it reaches an extreme cutoff point in terms of what it can do for your life satisfaction
i really scoff at people who’s entire “self improvement” idea revolves around the gym, really just people into bodybuilding trying to justify it being their entire existence with like philosophy quotes or whatever
being jacked is cool, i think it’s better than not being jacked, and that’s why i pursue it and still advocate for it; but there are worse things you can be than not jacked, such as poor, unhappy, purposeless and enslaved. if it comes at the expense of fixing those things then you have a problem
past a certain point the gym really just has to become a chore you do like any other or a hobby you enjoy (and sometimes a mix of the two), but if a thing you do to just look better is really where you get your entire sense of pride from then you need to reevaluate what the fuck you are living for
i have known a lot of very exceptional lifters in my life but very few of them live anything remotely close to exceptional lives. it’s actually very funny as my hometown which is probably the most drab boring and depressing place i’ve ever been to has produced some of the best bodybuilding/powerlifting talent in north america. doesn’t surprise me since there isn’t shit better to do than just hit the gym and meal prep little tupperware containers here, no other way to feel like your life is going anywhere
like i said its masturbatory, you are simulating the sense of forward momentum in your life with little micro victories in the gym everyday that ultimately just amount to t shirts stretching a little bit more around you. it’s a good habit if you just keep it to that, but this is not the big difference maker that’s gonna give you what you deep down want from life

BOSS@thebeautyofsaas
the average gym bro is the perfect example of a spiritually broken individual. spending days trying to improve their looks while never taking a minute to reflect on their situation or the fact that they have nothing else but an identity built around impressing others

@theZia10 @wanted4mogging It might not exist in your framing but the only thing I took away from what you said was why do literally anything? Nothing matters so why carry yourself in a way that could be advantageous in other areas of your life?
My glass half full, yours half empty, and it’s all the same

@GenBriffinJr @lebrongoat420 Well I don’t think you were last group of a field of 40. So that’s your fault your “tournament” started at 3:00 in the afternoon. I’m getting extremely worked up idk why

@luckyphoeniix “For demonstration purposes I’m just gonna show you real quick” insists upon itself in a way that is so nauseating it’s almost euphoric.

@MITSKlSUS Are you like a zip butter by chance? Is that how you would describe yourself?

@WeauBilliams @ImGivingupmama Tweet of the year and I can’t explain this to anyone in real life.

@ImGivingupmama the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between a rock sauce & a zip sauce. you imbecile. you fucking moron".

@HannesThurnherr @thomasraynott @Daniel7Prinsloo Can’t even begin to unpack how viciously stupid this is. Great job.
English

@thomasraynott @Daniel7Prinsloo The deep-state, Illuminati shit is the naive, easy out. It's a childish mindset of "bad thing means there is bad guy who dun it". No. It's just a complex, messy world. You are not more realistic by assuming a more sinister world.
