Has anyone else completely abandoned aesthetics and now just wants to look strong

>implying strength isn't aesthetic

Yeah, I dreamer bulk for 8-9 months and then cut to be somewhat acceptable for summer.

Where does he even lift? Is there a gym in the park?

And how does he find the time?

The opposite. My aesthetics will always come first.

>his rum&coke is nowhere in sight
F A K E

Fuck I almost believed it too

Yeah 2bh
I grew up around the manly men of the previous generation, who always had fat, but looked, for lack of a better term, "burly". Which I'm sure is a British term.
But no matter how much gains I'd of made, I would never want to turn out like those guido metrosexual faggots who wear stringers

I just wanna wear a tshirt and look thicc

ohh Julian you're looking sexy tonight

Julian's real workout routine
10x10 dumbell curls
10x10 Rum & Coke curls

When I'm in my middle age, I want to be that guy who looks like he gave a shit and not the lazy beer belly stereotype.

Somewhat, but I definitely want to be less than 20% bodyfat. I'm pretty happy at around 15% tbqh, it makes me look bigger and stronger and not like some shredded twink faggot. It also let's me eat one 'bad' thing a day like a snickers bar or a slice of cake without feeling like committing suicide
>inb4 fatty

You never had aesthetics, loser.

I can respect 15, 20% is really pushing it and anything above I consider fatass territory.

There is a scene in an episode where he is doing curls with a cinderblock. I assume he just literally lifts trash

> And how does he find the time

unemployed

But Julian is always doing greasy shit with Ricky, he's not unemployed he's an entrepreneur

same

The two are not mutually exclusive

>then take 3minutes to swing your arms around or practice handstands.
wew lad, I'm laffin

I can garantee you, you don't look strong if you haven't been lifting for 10+ years or aren't on roids. You're probably fat as fuck

This just isn't true l m a o
Maybe to a lifter with severe body dysmorphia, but to normies? Fuck man, they have no fucking clue what big is

Fit standards aren't real. Real life standards matter.

why would you look at people who don't train to compare yourself with? That's weak.

Because if you're the best looking guy in the room or at the bar it doesn't matter if some dude on roid in LA looks better than you.

first and foremost, it's all about face

And I thought this thread was about giving up aesthetics and looking strong.

Fine. If you have the best body in the room or at the beach it doesn't matter if a guy in LA on gear has a better body. Better?

Fuck that aesthetics always come first.

If you look strong nobody will fuck with you though

You just reworded the same thing so it's not better

You said it's all about the face after I said best looking so I clarified with best body.

lol

I have a feeling that you are 17 turning on 18 because of the way you type, maybe not even 18.

It's probably better to live in two worlds. The real one - where I can be proud to be thicker and stronger than 99% of people around me - and the Veeky Forums world where I have a lot to catch up with.

I mean by Veeky Forums standards I look like a skinny fat dyel but I'm already getting mired by friends.

I think it's when body dysmorphia and self deprecation hold a part of everyday life to some people, being in a room full of dyels and normies gives you a reality check of how far you've actually come, especially when they make nice remarks and tell you so.

Plus if you're natty and compare yourself to someone on roids, that's your first mistake.
You can easily look strong natty and with 3 years under your belt

27. I'm just tired.

I understand what you mean but you shouldn't put your own worth into how others see you.

It's better to live in your own world and be happy with yourself.

I never stated or implied that you should look at people who aren't natty, I said train.

>I never stated or implied that you should look at people who aren't natty, I said train.

I think I got a few posts mixed up and just wanted to comment on 'em t b h

damn right you're tired, you hit the 2 key instead of 1

Very clever. I'm still not sure why lifting for aesthetics bothers you so much.

Yeah, I agree. But when it comes to lifting you have to get your standards by which your measuring yourself from somewhere.

I like coming to Veeky Forums because it keeps my giant ego in check.

thx i tried
>not sure why lifting for aesthetics bothers you so much
I'm not the user that said the other stuff, just a random shitposter

>implying you can't be strong and aesthetic

What's this god-fridge's bf%?

I did briefly, then I realized what a mess I was making of my life. I was a fat slob loser shunning social engagements and letting my gut get out of control in the name of "strength", and once I realized how cowardly and dead-end that was I finally got my shit together and started doing some serious cutting.

I read this entire thread in Ricky's voice.

>if I look like a 20% BF lardass, people will think I'm strong cause I'm "bigger"

Alright yokozuna, whatever you say.

>Aesthetic
>That guy
Nope, torso too wide, traps too big,

bomp

You have it backwards. Only gay men are interested in 15+% body fat guys. Lean guys are the ones that get mired by females.

Holy shit you're coping hard.

That's called giving up. Cutting too hard for u

>big traps
>unaesthetic
dyel

that's a neat way of saying 'i can't handle cutting, so i guess it's time for permabulk'', OP

was never destined for aesthetics due to pectus excavatum / perpetual lanklet

figured i might as well get strong for my weight class while i can

He lifts in jail
This is why he's bigger every season

Wtf is this gif from

youtube.com/watch?v=PyLVl5QjVLs

You only see them doing greasy shit on camera
Behind the scenes they'd probably be doing fuck all 90% of the time

Sounds eerily like an excuse to not make it.
>never make it
>never try

He later opens his own bar & gym

Mr Lahey, Julian is outside with his shirt off and lifting weights and wants to have a drink with you

Nah, I'm not a quitter. Powerfatties are the worst and I'll never give up and become one.

If being aesthetic means I have to give up my weekly pizza then I don't want to be aesthetic.

le functional strength for my job as a pipe layer

>traps too big
Lol, even as a roider its literally impossible to get traps that are "too big" traps are what seperates man from wimp

Powerfatties are OK, IF they're fathers and under 40.

Then they can set a goal of looking shredded as fuck for their 40s birthday and be the best dad a child could have - strong, disciplined and better than your dad.

Excatly, stronk respect >>>>>> """""aesthetics"""""

saucy bastard's routine and advice is based

As much as I love the show, it kinda disturbs me there is TPB forum, and people frequently go there.

Cory's routine is perfectly in character tho... my god

>Traps too big
>too big
Never ever ever

community

Sounds like something a fat guy would say.

>I want to look strong!
So lift for strength and do your assistance exercises you dumb fuck.
>b-buh dips are 3x10 instead of 3x5 with two working sets! MY SMALLER MUSCLE GROUPS CANT HAVE MORE REPETITIONS OR THEY WILL GROW WITH THE REST OF MY BODY!
I hate this board so much you fuckers are all novices worrying about what you are going to look long term when none of you can even properly lift. The lazy neets on the steroid general have more self respect than you fucks
