This! so much this! To a non native English speaker it's extra furiatingly confusing when people write words that are actual words that does not work in a centence. I make those mistakes too, but never there their then than. It's your language ffs. Learn this please :D
Some things are hardwired and some things are culturally implanted. Lean into them hard enough and they're unrecognizable. Like.. if you're looking for fertility cues and an emaciated person isn't fertile, but a slightly plump person is... Then clearly the sexiest thing would be a shiny balloon!
Likewise is sex is gross and dirty, and feet are gross and dirty.. then feet are sexy... gross feet are reaaaally sexy. Probably a bunch of factors, but I think that's a big mechanism.
Why not? As long as we’re all adults here, I’m very curious about people’s fetishes. I never understood why feet/socks are sexy. I think certain shoes are sexy, but not feet or socks. Enlighten me.
Working out when you get really good at something is genuinely fun. I did dips every other day for like 2 years, at the end it felt a little like flying when you didn't put any weight on. You could launch yourself and it was a lot of fun.
Getting that ripped takes a lot of hard work, vigilance and effort. You need to watch every calorie, spend at least 1 1/2 hours in the gym EVERY DAY. No alcohol, barely any carbs, lots of protein. Every meal must be carefully planned to fir your macros. It takes an INSANE amount of work to look like that.
As a Diabetic 52M I have stopped eating bread, sugar and alcohol, it's >70% of the effort. Bare in mind that the "Stopped" means everyday. I can still ingest those, but occasionally.
The workouts are trivially easy compared to the diet. I've never had an issue lifting heavy for 8~10 hrs/wk. But missing one workout does little damage, whereas one bad day of food can undo literal weeks of work. A very bad day, but yeah, if you're dropping 1lb/wk, you could undo nearly 3 weeks of work in a day.
There's some interesting research around the maximum number of calories that can be absorbed in a day, but former 500lb me has some doubts.
From experience when you're young it's much easier to get those gains.. less effort, less time. Once you're older 35+ it takes so much work dedication and free time. The only part that's easier is that you already have less of a social life.. Less ability to drink and party and therefore less to lose in terms of free time
It is about priorities. We always find the time to do the things our dopamine tells us it wants. The real trick is talking yourself into having the attitude to get over the hump.
I am genuinely very happy to see that the top comment on this post is not sexualizing them. Feels like it means imgur is getting better.
That said, for those who are, maybe ask yourself if these ladies posted this for a bunch of randos on the Internet to leer at and talk about how they want to fuck them? Them existing in the same world you do isn't an invitation. This is gross, guys. Please stop doing this shit.
(And no, what they are wearing does not mean they asked for it.)
"Could I interest you in some chicken breast and broccoli? What about chicken breast and green beans? Chicken breast and spinach? Hard boiled eggs, or some canned or smoked fish?" All day, every day, forever. I like mashed potatoes too much to have abs.
I used to work at a vitamin/herb store as the gym type advisor. I had to swallow laughs and call backs when people would come in and say they wanted to get into shape but didn't wanna be all muscular. Not one person saying there has the dedication it takes to get there
Can confirm. Used to coach a lot of gen pop, women would always say 'I don't want to get too muscular', I'd always ask if I was in the 'too muscular' category, they would always say no and it's like, well ma'am, I've been actively trying to look muscular so you'll be fine.
I mean, it's pretty straightforward. Don't do high volume weight training and maintain your current diet (or maybe somewhat reduce it). You'll develop muscle and lose fat, but stay roughly the same weight and not get all cut up.
You don't realize how far a 46 year old American who never ever has been to a gym is from being able to do that. Maybe sarcasm is what you're doing? Yes sarcasm I get it now!
"You would kill for that body?" || "Yes, I would." || "Okay, here's the diet and exe..." || "No, no, no. You've got it wrong, I said I would KILL for that body, not that I would work for it."
The person you have to kill for that body is your current self. "Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor." - Alexis Carrell
Hey, not with that attitude. There are dozens of people I could kill. Dozens! Granted most of them are billionaires and can afford security which would force me to work out until I'm shredded like the girls in the photo just to get past them, but... Hey! There's my motivation!
Working out is truly horrible at the start when you're out of shape and unfit, but once you get into shape, it becomes pleasurable. You actually look forward to your workouts because it makes you feel better, mentally and physically. The food thing. I agree completely.
Same. I've been lifting weights a lot for 16 years now. I love it. I've tried the strict diet that would get me ripped just a handful of times. Fuck that so very much. I like junk food. Plus strong and chubby is still a good look. I still look strong.
As someone who weight trains, I disagree. At the start is when you feel it most. It's when you see the most growth in your capability and you get that sweet soreness that tells you you're doing it right.
After the first 3 months about, it goes away, and the only thing you have to keep you going is habit, if you've developed it, or the future promise of longterm effort's return. Also, everything's more exhausting.
So, you're focusing on the gainz. If I don't get in my 10 mile daily walk, I feel like crap, can't sleep, etc. Sure you get the "I'm making a change now" feeling early on, but you don't recognize how better you feel mentally and physically until you stop for a while. It's just not instant feedback.
It is not like that for everyone. I've been weight training for over 5 years, and I loathe my workout every time. If you expect it to be fun, you might quit when you 'dont feel like it.' Not everything worth doing is fun. Some great things in life are hard. But if you truly stick to it, you WILL be proud of the work - that I can guarantee
After like 5 years of weight training, it is still unbelievably hard to try to motivate myself to go to the gym, and it's a struggle every time and it doesn't feel nearly as good afterwards as people say. I guess we all aren't built for as much endorphins
Completely disagree. I been going to the gym almost everyday day for 15 years and every single day I hate it with every fiber of my being. It’s literally the worst.
It depends, really. You can find pleasure early if you train long enough to hit those endorphins. And you can eat anything as long as you adjust the portion according to the macros. As an experiment, some guys have gotten ripped by eating fast food only. I went to a weight loss forum with my own ideas about eating healthy and that was their answer. Some people do use fitness apps to input their burgers and pizzas, not to transition to vegetables.
Yeah of course, but the only problem with a "dirty" diet or bulk is the overall amount you can eat, junk food is calorie dense, so while you can still eat it, you have to eat less in terms of overall volume to compensate, which will leave you hungrier, sooner and not to mention that if you're using it to bulk, you will end up with a higher fat to muscle ratio than through a "cleaner" diet. I work out 3 times a week and have 2 junk food days, works for me.
I read online that Usain Bolt used to switch a Macdonalds diet before competitions not for nutritional value or taste but simply for the incredibly standardized portions which made it easier to monitor calorie intake, maintaining persistent training regiment, and preventing food poisoning. Apparently he mentions this in his biography so if anyone read it, I'd appreciate verification.
This is mostly true. It was, as far as I'm aware, a one-off for the Beijing Olympics, and the main reason was that he didn't want to eat Chinese food and felt McDonalds the most reliable familiar option. I've not heard anything to do with helping him count calories, and my understanding is that after Beijing he switched to a more professional approach. Link >
Recent study shows losing weight has very little to do with more exercise or cardio and immensely more to do with what you eat and how much of it you eat. So sure, in theory you could maybe pull off a good body with fast food, but it's a hell of a lot harder. Also, those people you mention, their age, natural metabolism, body types etc count. Not everyone is made the same so one person as a generalization to a rule is a bit senseless
Yes, we don't need studies to know that losing weight depends on how much you eat. But it has less to do with what you eat than the whole health business would have you think. That's because there is a big difference between losing weight, which means fat, and building muscle. Building muscle means your body will transition from fat to muscle even though you may not lose weight. Muscles need more caloric upkeep so you can eat like a dumptruck and still lose the fat.
Personally I'm all for eating healthy. It's just not as strictly linked to body weight as claimed in magazines. You could get super fat by eating only healthy food in unbalanced amounts.
