We've all heard of the positive things about making it, but how have you experienced the negatives?
>Get pale white stripes from tanning since my sixpack and pecs cast a shadow. >Not being able to fit into nice looking jeans. >People assuming you're dumb. >You attract a certain kind of girl, tfw no stable relationship. >Gay guys have started hitting on you. >Harder making friends, im a CS major and everyone around me assume im an arsehole. >Don't enjoy pigging out like i used to. >Spend around 1000 hours a year commuting and going to the gym.
How about it anons, what are your swole hardships?
Elijah Clark
3 hrs per day @ the gym . Jesus user
David Howard
6 days a week PPL, thats 324 times a year. 40 min to get there and then 40 min back and then workout/shower for 90 minutes.
Whatever it takes, right babe?
Isaiah Nelson
Ive started sweating a lot I cant wear a simple tshirt anymore because it gets visibly sweaty in the back, between my pecs and under my arms
Its making me very self conscious because other people, even the fat ones dont seem to have that problem
I tried using sweat blocking deodorants and they work but its not possible to apply it to my entire torso
Cameron Foster
Here ya go bro. Started spraying myself up with this especially in the groin region. Really helps with swamp ass during the summer at my work. I'm sure it would help if you used it elsewhere too.
Lincoln Hughes
Relax, it takes a while to settle down. Basically you produce more mitochondria in your muscle cells and let off more heat than your body is used to. Eventually your heat regulation catches up.
Justin Perez
>6 days a week PPL I bet you look like shit, post your physique
Logan Sanchez
Why would he look like shit from PPL? What do you do? Also, post body yourself if you're shitting on his routine.
Andrew Bailey
>Gay guys have started hittin on you
You're wrong, OP, this is the only reason you should be getting fit in the first place
Charles Richardson
Yeah, but i though i would get more attention from females. The only thing i've heard a chick say is that i look as if i would burst if someone pricked me with a needle. While sometimes guys literally gawk at me.
Jaxson Foster
lmao all of these summer fags shitting on PPL when they've only been lifting for 3 months.
Aiden Johnson
I bet you i squat more than you deadlift and press more than you bench.
Dominic Rivera
Thanks user i'll try that Does the power leave any marks on your clothing? I've been lifting for over 4 years and started having this problem since 3 years or so
Christopher Jenkins
Lamest pose I've ever seen. Probably still have a better physique than the guy shitting on you
Juan Reyes
Im sure you do boy
Oliver Nguyen
I kekked up some oats and whey.
The assuming you're stupid is real, but I had that before I was fit (but still attractive). It's just tall poppy shit, and it's going to happen one way or another if you improve yourself in any way. I try to use it as an exercise in staying humble.
Jose Martin
Let it dry before you put your clothes on and make sure that you don't get the powder on the outside of your shirt. I haven't noticed any marks or anything, but just take an extra shirt in your car or bag just in case. If it doesn't work for you, you're only out a couple of bucks. Definitely helps with ball and ass sweat though, if that's also a problem for you.
Brandon Roberts
I used to carry a whole spare set of clothing to change into before meeting people. Might be beneficial to take up cycling everywhere or something where it's quite common to change clothes.
I'm also quite lucky that I don't get BO much. I used to put it down to drinking lots of water but apparently a lots genetic or something.
Hudson Sanders
>clothes rip when you laugh >can't pick up a glass of water without crushing it with your bare hands >can't sneak up on people because the ground trembles beneath your massive body of iron >replacing doors all the time because you tear them off the hinges or just smash right through the doors Etc.
Isaac Perry
180kg x5 with strict form, if u beat that i'll be quiet and humbled.
Tyler Walker
How much do you snatch boy?
Luis Baker
Why don't you two just fuck and get it over with?
Joshua Butler
I could probably do that.
>tfw 475 squat 1rm, haven't actually done a x5 set in a long time
Lucas Brown
If you're natty then im mirin'. Thats about 15 lb better than my 1rm (210kg) although i've never maxed with a belt.
Jaxon Stewart
He said swole hardships, not #justhulkthings.
Dominic Edwards
It's fucking hot all the time like goddamn I put on 10 kg of muscle in the last ten years and it's like I'm wearing a meat coat. people don't assume you're dumb or dislike you unless you act like it. I mean I get if someone is huge he might look like an addict but this is just the right level of swolness.
Jordan Gutierrez
had the same problem. started wearing wife beaters beneath everything...tshirts, shirts. solved the issue for me plus its way more comfy. never going back desu. Also regulates the temperature in summer as well as in winter.
I only use a parfum doedorant stick as I'm not gonna kill myself with aluminium poisoning.

Sorry but this is how it is.
TL;DR: Don't be ugly and everything will be fine.
Isaiah Cruz
Restless sleep has become an issue, ear plugs have helped recently though I used to be baffled when people told me they had trouble sleeping soundly, it's literally the easiest thing a human can do, now I understand
Cooper Cox
I'm not from an English speaking country, so are wife beaters the exact same as tank tops? Are they 100% cotton like the tank tops I have?
Jaxson Garcia
Have you considered adding a sleeping mask? I've heard good things.
Parker Diaz
yes, and 100% cotton is a must.
Isaac Clark
wife beaters are tanktops, foreign-bro
Joseph Morales
>>Gay guys have started hitting on you. >Only if your face is ugly
Well that one just doesn't make sense user
Ethan Nguyen

Supplement with magnesium (not magnesium oxide).
Calcium is required to fire a muscle fiber. Magnesium required to stop firing.
When short on magnesium, muscles (to whatever degree) can't relax.
And other 'anxiety' symptoms like insomnia, restless leg syndrome, etc.
Carson Rogers

Wear undershirts
Evan Smith
>Ive started sweating a lot
Start finishing your hot showers with a minute or two of as cold as can get water.
You know that thing where you get out of a hot shower, dry off, and are already sweating by the time you get dressed?
That may or may not be part of what you're referring to, but I've finished all but 6 hot showers on cold in the last 18 years because that bullshit doesn't happen when finishing on cold.
It's worth a shot.
Wyatt Ortiz
If his face wasnt ugly, the gay guys would have hit on him from the start
Austin Scott
Yeah that happens to me too Will try. Thanks user
Joshua Sanchez
You're too hot. Get a cooling water mattress thing or something like that.
Ryan Baker
>People stare. Constantly. Which I guess is to be expected when you look better than 90% of the population. But I'm a reserved introvert. It creeps me out.
Kevin Bennett
bretty goodI/10 would kek out loud again
Easton Smith
OP those are all bullshit
>not tanning fucking standing up >wearing athletic cut jeans to accommodate joocy quads >not acting dumb and presenting yourself like an autist >not wifing up sloots from the club >appreciating admiration >tfw CS major, able to make friends easily and no one assumes i'm an asshole >implying that's a bad thing >implying driving is no fun
come on OP > >
Connor Phillips
The only downside I see is maintaining that shit. It's easy when you're a NEET, but get a job and see your gains fading away.
Thomas Taylor
Why would your gains fade away bc of a job? I don't understand. I don't know a single NEET who is joocy but plenty of people with jobs who are.
I mean, without my job I wouldn't have a free gym situated right next to where I live.
Joseph Cruz
>Dat rom
You can get another 15cm depth without any trouble
Justin Sullivan
Because less time. But maybe I took a dumb job though. It was at least 12 hours a day with sleeping and eating on site. You would think that shouldn't have a place in EU but it does and it's more common than you would think.
Blake Williams
This cannot be real. I knew the 6 day a week routine was a joke but holy shit.
Parker Ross
>relationshit troubles >get to gym parking lot >20 minutes of talking on phone with gf to validate her and hear her out >pre-workout loses effectiveness
>RRREEEEEEE
Mason Cox
>20 minutes of talking on phone with gf to validate her and hear her out You just gave me flashbacks to WoW raiding where one of our guys always went AFK for his goodnight call with his gf at some point during the raid, and always took way longer than needed
Christian Garcia
You clearly aren't speaking from experience
Robert Harris
what the fuck is the efel tower doing near a beach paris is like in the middle of europe, right?
Austin Harris
Pretty sure that's a transmission tower user.
Noah Collins
>negatives >Gay guys have started hitting on you.
It's negative to get compliments? Are we feminists now?
Jaxon Myers
He's probably on the equator, which means the atmosphere refracts the light differently so you can see further into the distance, on hot days you can see tall buildings from 1000s of miles away which is what is happening here if it isn't photoshopped.
no
Liam Turner
you look fine for natural
Logan Watson
People get sort of shifty and look at me weird when I say fight me I'm still joking but they try to placate me now instead of taking the piss too
Oliver Gomez

Wow France already is starting to look like a Middle Eastern desert......
Kevin Myers

Are you fucking serious? That dude's serious roiding. You can't look like that without extra juice.
