What’s so wrong with doing some other forms of exercise instead of lifting to get fit?

Don't let the presence of people who can lift more discourage you from going to a gym. Find a gym that isn't crowded or go during times when there are fewer people.

well what other forms are you talking about? baseball, basketball, football or any other sport alone wont do anything, in fact all coaches for that will make you lift weights lol

lifting weights is the easiest and safest. are you talking about "working on a farm" or some cope like that? lol

Glutes for the sloots. But seriously, find whatever physical activity that you enjoy. Rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing, it doesn't have to be just getting swole. Join a club of that sport but maximum gains (socially).

You can do some mma, but i would encourage you to despite the sport you do, compliment it with weight lifting, it helps a lot making your muscles stronger with your daily life.

But if it’s just a no for you, then do what you enjoy.

TRP is about sexual strategy that works. We push lifting because the physique that is the most successful requires it.

If you want to give yourself the most attractive body, lift. If you are happy being lean, healthy and fit (but accept that you will not appear as broadly fit) then you can drop lifting from your schedule.

You are right that being confident, fit, lean and happy will put you in the top 20% comfortably. You won't be unable to get women's affection. It'll just be easier for the bloke next to you who is all of the above AND bigger.

Lean? Like Skinny? Yeah. I guess.

Lean muscular lean? Like cut? Lots of gym time man.

If you just want to be average skinny and want relaxed go for yoga. Lots of pooty in the classes so thats a plus i guess

Youre attitude sounds very passive man why trp? Just an anecdote. Plated a cute little hipster girl. The number 1 thing she kept commenting on was my muscle and how it was so different “being with an actual man” compared to her skinny boyfriend before. Do with that info what you wish.

Personally, I find running to be cathartic given that I work long hours. I lift on occasion (used to lift everyday when I played football in hs and college) but running offers both physical and mental benefits that suit my lifestyle and body type. I recommend you download the Nike run club app and track your progress, you’ll be surprised on how quickly you’ll get in shape if you’re disciplined and follow a regiment. Best of luck.

Go to YouTube, and search Athlean-x. Your body will thank you.

Some things other than lifting are good.

Swimming, Gymnastics, fighting good

Cycling, marathons, baseball stats bad

Hey. Senior highschool lifter here. From our perspective, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a different method of working out. Lifting isn't everyone's thing. Some people may actually be ridiculous and judge you for it, but hey that's highschool douchebags trying to jerk each others t levels off to make themselves feel better about their small penises. There are many bodyweight exercises and I highly recommend you get into calinaesthetics, which is a body weight only method of training. Lots of variations of pulls ups, push ups, ab stuff, etc. Just don't forget to do legs by doing like piston Squats or a variation of Squats or your legs will be smol. Don't let others jurisdict what you wanna do. I've seen countless calinaesthetics guys who look much leaner and have better muscle mass than regular lifters. My only suggestion for you is to eat a lot and eat healthy or you won't see any progression.

I'll copy and paste my answer from your other thread:

"Fit" is a vague buzzword that, depending on what you mean, may or may not require lifting.

Lifting is the #1 recommendation on here because it is by far the most efficient and effective way of building muscle mass, which will vastly improve your attractiveness towards women, and the respect you get from other men. It is also the most effective and efficient means of building strength, which is arguably the foundation on which most other athletic performance is based.

If you want specific advice, ask specific questions.

No.

Hamster hamster.
