How do I explain fitness to my normie family and friends?

>be me, 20 yo, 5'11", 170lb, lifting for 3 months after reading up significantly
>french, so nobody lifts here, and everybody associates lifting with "muh big fake muscles"
>younger brother 16yo, 5'9.5", 135 lbs keeps bitching about being skelly, and how he wants to gain weight. super self conscious about his absolute twig legs
>he eats sugary, fat, protein-free shit all day and tells me he's "bulking up"
>whenever I try explaining protons and why he needs them he justs look at me like I'm nitpicking on broscience shit and just trying to show off my fancy knowledge
>I can tell he doesn't understand what I'm saying applies directly to him, I can see on his skelly face that he's thinking to himself "oh well user's being autistic again, I just want to gain muscle!", shit is so frustrating
>does meme workouts like 100 pushups, 100 squats, 100 burpees and cardio
>doesn't see results so gives up after 2 weeks, still manages to lose weight
>try to explain the importance of rep range for strength/size vs endurance/"cardio", progressive overload etc.
>not even autistic about barbells and muh big 3, just tell him to get a dip belt for chins, or adjustable dumbbells for lunges/bulgarian squats or something
>basically he's certain he has all the anwers and that the cardio shit he does will get him huge in no time
>whenever I bring up lifting he looks at me like I'm some retard who fell for a meme, he literally told me yesterday that 30min of biking a day will build legs better than any of my meat head workouts
My family sides with him too. They have no clue how this shit works. Basically everyone here despises lifting and think it's a useless meme for insecure faggots.
So, did you ever run into similar issues with normies?

Move

>trying to fix other people
Oh user you'll learn some day

>So, did you ever run into similar issues with normies?

Just don't talk to them about this shit, man.

Should I learn French? I'm trying to pick another language to learn. I really admire French literary history.

Sure.

Unironically link him the sticky. Ive been helping my friend go from 269-200 right now he's at sub 250

So just continue what you're doing and then you can spit in all their faces when you're a living god

Her tits are too big and she's also black

Hes your btother right?
So out him a headlock and give him a nuggie. Then tell him hes stupid and move on with your life.

>Her tits are too big
100% cringe
>she's also black
preference so 50% cringe

Those are far too big, please do not post anymore, I'm at work

>her tits are too big
See pic
>she's also black
Get a load of this faggot he doesn't want to mongoloid lesser races.

Frogs have to be the most notorious oil drillers in the universe.

>Those are far too big
dude how can you possibly feel this way
my milk loving nigger

>please stop doing what I don't like

...

Briana white for those that desire sauce

>Her tits are too big
Enjoy your fucking underage drawings you childfucker

Personally I think Italian is more fun.
> La donna è mobile

Retard.

>he fell for the weightlifting meme
>he unironically is telling his family about it
Hahahahahaha
Gullible's written on the ceiling. as if you actually lift weights, I'd go to a doctor about your joints if I were you.

look him in the eye and tell him he should continue to be an arrogant cunt if he wants to stay skellymode his whole life

Lmao did you even read what he wrote?

just for those special people that don't read file names

Give up. 99% of the times, our normies (I'm french too) will never listen to what you say and will just believe meme things they've read on fb or heard on tv. Maybe he'll realise his mistakes once he sees the results on you.

I agree with you user.

s-sauce?

French people will never speak to you in French.

Guys I'm confused. Do people actually lift weights? I thought it was a meme for newfriends?
What purpose would it serve?
>today I lifted up a bar and then put it back down ten times

This is how my wife will be dressed every day after I get back from work

I don't know if they make that outfit small enough for your hand

...

that scene is god tier f a m
>ywn be J-Mac
why live desu

Shutcho gay ass up!

You're 170 lbs at 5'11 and 3 months lifting no matter how hard you try no will take you seriously since you're not even DYEL mode yet, just continue on the right path for 18-24 months put on more muscle and stop trying to fix other people's lives they will come to you if they need help.

>lifting 3 months
>berating little brother for trying to get fit
>lol

>implying giving blacks a taste of their own medecine (along with some of ours if you catch my drift) isn't the most alpha thing anyone has ever done

...

How long I've been lifting doesn't matter. I'm just trying to give him the information so that he can achieve his goal, which is to put on muscle. He doesn't want to get "fit", he doesn't want better cardio he just wants MASS.

jesus. just found the scene, how big is this guy? Like 9"x7"?
>forever a dicklet

t. faggot

>that insult
>those digits

I'll give you the secret to persuading normies to love you but first you must swear to vote for le pen.

>nique ta mère fils de pute

You can now have a conversation in France

I want to call you the name of a containment board but I can't decide which one.

lol maybe tease him about not seeing results, but he's probably trying to be a twink anyway

>Qu'est ce que tu viens de dire sur moi, petite salope?

Je suis formé à me battre contre des gorilles, et je suis le meilleur sniper dans l'intégralité des forces armées françaises. Tu n'est pour moi rien d'autre qu'une cible de plus.

Je peux être n'importe où, n'importe quand, et je peux de tuer de sept cent façons différentes, et ce seulement à mains nues.

Millainen vitun kieli on se?

dumb finnon be gone

There isn't a long list of nigresses I'd fuck, marry and have kids with, Britney is on that list.

Is this the navy seal pasta in french?

kek.

Okay. Bye.

D'expérience, c'est jamais une bonne idée de parler des routines Veeky Forums à qui que ce soit. Fais ton truc, et laisse les résultats parler. Et si quelqu'un te demande, là tu peux expliquer le principe. Sinon, tu perds ton temps et tu passes pour une baltringue.

Nobody can argue with results. Do your routine and get big and then let him notice for himself. You don't even have to mention fitness to him again. If after that he doesn't care then it's a lost cause.

literally the only male pornstar I know because he fucks every single thicc bitch

They're all retarded. Keep doing what you're doing and let the results speak for themselves. They have made up their mind and only by physically seeing that they're wrong will they finally understand.

No one will listen to you about nutrition or working out unless you physically look like you know what you're talking about.

He's the definition of high test
>tall
>bald
>alpha voice
>huge dick
>fucks thicc wymmin
>kinda swole though small by Veeky Forums standards
no homo though

nah, he's like 7.5x5.5''. definitely above average, but his inflated height and small co stars make it look bigger. for reference, he's 5'8'' and is billed at 6'1''

>is a pornstar with big dick
>still an insecure manlet

There's no escape

>lifting for 3 months
nobody will notice you lift until a year or so. They wont be able to argue with results.

>100 push ups
>100 squats
>cardio
this kid gonna be one punch man in a few years...

french is a lovely language in my opinion

I feel like this shitty jap meme has just killed the very idea that one day normies could know shit about Veeky Forumsness desu.
fucc I'm bigger than J-Mac
Actually they noticed I got bigger because I used to be 145lb and they don't see me often but yeah I get your point. Should I roid and dole out workout advice?

Wait. What does lifting have to do with protons?

chemistry is the basis of all gains

Science. And if you can show them solid scientific studies about strength training or hypertrophy or whatever and they disregard it, stop trying.

Adobe photoshop

>not eating 30% protons
not gonna make it

if the child doesn't even know he needs protons then he's a lost cause

oh gee muscles are made out of proteins myosin and actin youd think to repair and grow them youd need protein building blocks? (which is amino acids which is what protein that you eat breaks down into)

You need to lurk a bit more mate.

>Brittney White
Has she ever fucked anything but white dicks? Extremest case of snow-fever ever.

Hello my European Fella, German here:
The main problem on the whole thing is that lifting is still a niche in European countries, often associated with Roiders from the US, so because of that elite thinking ("We are better than them") they despite working out with iron, or working out in general.
And you are new in all that, so you want to tell everyone everything. Just stop that. No one will hear about their bad habits, just train and eat will for your own, Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, weight lifting in general is an ego sport, you do it for yourself not for others, if they ask you, give them advice. If they don't ask you and just bitching about "muh body" let them.

I've only ever seen her get BLEACHED. But she does have a 3way with two Wiggers.

...

This. Swiss-fag here. Lifting isn't frowned upon but if you tell people you lift, they basically assume you're some bro who's spitting broscience and talking about protein all the time. Don't even mention it unless people ask you. It's not normal and people don't want to hear about it.

That being said, I know what the first couple of months of lifting feel like. You're making huge gains and you basically want to tell the whole world about it but here's a newsflash kid: Nobody cares. That's just the harsh truth of it. Nobody cares about how well your lifting and diet is going for you and even if it's relevant to a discussion, unless you're being asked directly about it, nobody gives 2 fucks about lifting. It's a fucking hobby so unless they're doing the same they don't care by default. You don't see me talking about Madoka when someone talks about what kind of normie shows they're watching.

Not an expert, but when I started doing some solid exercise (running three days/week) I began to lose some weight (I'm a manlet, with 56kg right now). My family (both smokers, one obese) started saying "user, you're obsessed, normal people don't check its weight regularity".

how are there so many finns on here despite the country having 5 million inhabitants? also do you guys know you're turks?

this, theyre disproportionate and weird
these are the people who talk about how big tits are on a fat bitch, not caring that its fat

Why not?

Do they hate foreigners?

Frozen country where Autism is part of life for everyone. Strangers don't talk to strangers. Most people live alone with kossu and internet being their only friends.

Also, not Turks, Mongolians.

is this jojo

fuck I should move there. plus your language looks cool and I've always wanted to learn it. do they have manlets in your country? (I'm OP)

Only the Saami.

Do not move to Turku, Lahti, Helsinki, Espoo or Tornio.

170 is a fine weight brah...

Can confirm. Lifting with a squat rack is realtively unknown, and if you tell people about barbell training it is considered very dangerous. People usually go to the gym to do 30 minutes of cardio, some lat pulldown and pec deck, it is rare for gyms to have a squat rack. I also have the impression that there are more DYELs in the gym than in the states. Generally looking good is less important because there are fewer warm months than in the states on average. If you say that you do weight training, people will assume that you train with machines. Serious lifting is kinda frowned upon because it is unknown and associated with steroids. Universities don't have 20 racks lined up next to each other like in the states. The phrase 'how much do you squat/bench/dl' is not common at all. I don't talk about it with people who don't lift.

t. Germony

>treat lifting like a semi-private/personal pursuit (like prayer or meditation or journaling)
>get in shape
>once you've sort-of made it then offer your brother the opportunity for advice
>hey I see you're trying to get big, want some advice?
>if he says no, then just leave it, he will come to you if he wants it enough.
>otherwise it's acceptable to offer it again maybe once every quarter to every year.
Good luck

So I'm not alone I see. Still, it's weird how a lot of people love sports but absolutely despise weight training here. Like doing pushups or pullups is seen as healthy but as soon as you think about weighting them people will literally hate you and/or kind of think you're a joke. That's frustrating desu. Europe is scared of iron.

Yeah, because your country is cucked and your women will be too by refugee CHADS who BENCH and DEADLIFT and SQUAT.

>tfw dad works abroad and trains with bodybuilders in the gym he gets for free with his work, is pretty shredded for a man approaching 60
>tfw brother lifts and is both big and shredded
>tfw other brother runs marathon
>tfw teaching mum to lift, she has a goal of being able to do 1 pull up and is willing learn to learn, listen and commit
>i do strength/mass
cannot fault my family fitness wise in any way. i'm lucky as fuck to live in such a household. we can all sprint crazy fast too - we are premium genetic stock.

>we are premium genetic stock.
special snowflake syndrome

its the same in the UK among certain people.

someone can do a press to handstand? great!
the massive gymnasts on TV can do an iron cross? wow!
someone can do 100 push ups? incredible!
someone can bench pre-OMG HEAVY WEIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS

>implying we aren't premium genetic stock

Because you can sprint "crazy fast"?

As I said, you are new, no one hates weight lifting but people related it with guys like Ronnie Coleman and assume that everyone who lift weights will look like Mr. Olympia. If you just stop talking about it, they will stop giving their opinion.
My mom said all the time how much she will loose weight and want train, yet she didn't do anything, I have weights in the house, I showed her several exercises she could do. She does it once all 6 months and eat chocolate all the time, I gave up and don't lie the weights back anymore after I trained (I'm 24, lifting since 4 years and live at home because student). Just let them and stop talking about it if they don't ask you directly about it.

yeah breh

hahahaha the stupid bitch, i can do 4 pull ups
