Did anyone actually made it?

People look at Zyzz like a guy who made it, but what most people choose not to pay attention is that he was charismatic even before lifting. As a skinny skeleton he was actually famous in the raving scene in Australia.

Lifting will only work if you're not a socially anxious faggot. If you're autismo, don't expect lifting to cure you

yes i agree but only if you have confidence problems. if you don't know how to communicate and interact with people then lifting won't do shit for you.

I made it years ago

then I found this place

What people expect is that by looking better, you'll have more confidence, and generally be happier, leading to social gains as the other user said

Wasn't Addie that lost all his gains once he got a gf?

did his head shrink?

oh god top kek

If you actually stick to it, physical fitness WILL improve your life. It's only a recent wave of trolls from lookism.net (Elliot Rodgers used to post there to put things in perspective) that have been pushing "chincel" "gymcel" and "incel" threads because they want to drag everyone else down with them.

A full-metal sperg probably won't become a Chad Thundercock with just a few years of lifting, but his life will definitely improve. That's the whole point: improvement. Considering how many people's lives around you are spiraling downward (half my peers from college are overweight or obese now), improvement no matter how small goes a long way.

>B-b-but I'm not a puss-crusher! I'll never be Chad!

Yeah, and you'll never be an Ottoman sultan with a harem of over one thousand concubines. You'll never be Genghis Khan and fuck so much that you literally have tens of millions of direct descendents. You can either accept this cruel fact and start hustling or neck yourself and save us the agony of listening to your whining.

Excellent post. Please keep coming back here so don't get overrun by negativity.

For me lifting is barely about strength or body image it's more about meeting goals and keeping to a routine even when I am not feeling 100%. Structure in life is very healthy and meeting my lifting goals is as good a feeling as any.

I think from these, it is possible to go on to bigger and better things.

So basically you do need to build a strength base first is what I am saying :^)

>anyone actually made it?
arnie.

it stayed the same size as everything else got bigger so his head seems smaller in proportion.

post of the day

I made it. But now I kinda miss the simple days where all I cared about were lifts, music and skiing. Started to get laid purely off of having "a 6 pack".. Then got sick of those shallow girls.

Turns out making it was great for realizing my actual self worth, but not so great for having an enjoyable lifestyle. Being sociable / in a relationship is fatiguing as fuck sometimes.

Came back here cuz I moved to europe and its so goddamn boring I started lifting seriously again.

I browse Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums in general very infrequently, but when I do so it's for that once-in-a-blue-moon post that has sound, good advice. This is that post.

This. Arnold said in plenty of Interview that he was that kid that get bullied and insulted by his father and brother. But that was just a very short time in his life, he already "made it" with 15 (because in that time he already was an Amateur Bodybuilder who won contests), so he is not really that much of a good example because he was still in the normal development age.

...

>your dumb
>your

i miss adie

>Not seeing the irony in his post
I think you prove his point

guys who make it stop browsing Veeky Forums

or they die in a sauna

Started lifting like 7 years ago, wasn't full sperg but had depression etc

still on meds for depression but have long-term GF and friends. I haven't done the "fuck 300 bitches" thing, it's more like 7.

But thats ok.

i still like to check Veeky Forums every now and then but i've pretty much moved on.

How the fuck are you even suppose to respond to a snap like this?

>responding to whores

for what purpose?

Is Arnahld natty on the left?

I was a shut in autist for most of high school, without friends and with mental problems. I matured and realised I had to do something. Now I'm in college and have more friends than I've had in years. Still no girlfriend, though.

then how do i fix myself

I think I've made it, or making it at least

Before
>21 y/o
>NEET shut in
>Horrendous anxiety and depression
>Can get interviews for jobs but I have panic attacks and don't show up for interviews
>Attractive but get panic attacks when girls talk to me
>Would borrow my moms car telling her I was hanging with friends but really I was just driving around aimlessly cause I had no friends

Steps I took
>Started lifting
>Made a goal to get out of the house every single day, if only for a walk
>Got a work at home job
>Bought new clothes
>Got rid of a bunch of shit in my room/house to make it a less interesting environment (so that I wouldn't spend time there)
I did much more but these were the first steps obv

Now
>25 y/o with live in preggers gf
>Banged 3 girls in the month before I met her
>Have a laid back job in marketing making $42K/year, spend most of my day lurking Veeky Forums and being left alone
>Great sense of style, get mired a lot
>Lift 3-5 days per week, p aesthetic and strong
>Drive nice car, nice apartment with gf
>Still very little social life
>Anxiety and depression is pretty much gone completely, just small attacks in stressful situations (normal tho)

this. Zyzz had girlfriends and social circles during the most important time of social development. Nobody goes from having no social life to having tons of friends and gfs. It is like not going through puberty then saying "im sick of looking like this im going to become the next arnold"

The truth Veeky Forums will never want to admit is without having social affluence you can not make it. Girls will think youre weird and boring. Guys will think youll scare girls off so at best they will only hang with you when they arent doing anything fun

bruh you dont, or you block them

it was probably meant to spite some ex bf or w/e

ya done it my man

just try and make some friends- go hang at any local events that go down (assuming your gf isnt a jealous woman, or take her with you). Talk to people- try to relate and talk about lighthearted shit and you're bound to win some folks over

I believe in ya, bro

Can you fuck sluts like that with a ripped body or do you still need high tier social skills?

haha thats not how friends work. i dunno maybe im jadded on the other side of the equation. fleeting interactions are going to be based on assumptions and prejudices but any long term relationship is going to be rooted in weird and twisting knots.

I understand the assumption is that autistic people are one sided, and those dont make friends outside of the 1 field they prefer but in reality that level of autismo is pretty rare

Good for you man, keep it up

Lol weve all, already made it. just gotta accept it.

I think I made it in the sense that I don't think about making it anymore

>depression and apathy totally gone
>had some anxiety after depression left, because after the emptiness was gone the void was more noticeable (if that makes sense)
>still lift after all these months, not even cutting for summer, just focused on gains

This is rare for many reasons.

1. It can take years to achieve a perfect body from extreme skelly or fat mode
2. Lifting does not fix your social life. You need to join a social activity and if you're socially retarded you tend to avoid these
3. Many start from 0 friends, and that means you have NO social circle. If you had 1-2 friends it may be easier to branch out.
4. Even when they do start creating a social circle, they're the new guy in the circle and it takes time to build trust.
5. Having a lot of friends or a close circle does not mean you know how to deal with romantic relationships
6. High standards from years of porn
7. No socially accepted hobbies

life does improve. while your body and mirins can change quickly (I went from 2 mires a month to 5 a day in less than a year), your social skills will only improve as you talk to lots of people, so for most of us it'll take much longer.

>Is making it a meme?
Yes.

HEIGHT,FACE,FRAME is literally all that matters.

what's your work at home job?

It was telemarketing for $8 per hour. It sucked but I had too much anxiety to get a real "in person" job.

You don't have to leave fit. You come back to laugh and troll.That's doubly making it.

Lifting WILL make it easier, not only because your self-esteem would be better, but because excercising actually has a lot of possitive effects on the development of your brain (even if you're a 60 year old). However, lifting will not cure it. When it comes to psychiaty, it's a supplement, a damn good one, but one that won't help if haven't propper shit together.

>recent evidence suggest it actually is genetic
>your dumb
You're a fucking idiot.
>inb4 I was actually pretending to be retarded
No, you're retarded, period.

perfection/god/making it, whatever your high is OP is just a goal to strive towards in order to elevate yourself above the rest and carve out your place in the sun. in my opinion, of course
