Just lift brah. A man's not a man if he can't squat 500 lb.

If you're a MGTOW I advocate some kind of activity. Doesn't have to be weight lifting. You have biking, rock climbing, martial arts, etc. My stance is one of self defense, being able to rely upon yourself. Ultimately, it's your call to make but take care of yourself. We all know it's dangerous to be a man. If you can, legally get a firearm as well.

You don't need to bench and squat 100s of lbs. This is not about huge biceps and ripped abs. Fuck that. But anyway you cut it, you need some strength and speed. We see we can't let our guard down.

I don't lift and everyone thinks I'm a man. Women and society in general want men to lift, I'll do what I want and what I enjoy... not what others tell me to do.

Wait are we advocating being fucking pussies now in here? WTF there are tons of benefits to lifting weights and being strong. If you think you are accidentally going to end up like a strongman or body builder you are fucking retarded. I have done steroids and lift regularly and have ZERO problems with bowel movements. This article is a complete joke. And if you think its cool to be a skinny fucking twig you are also retarded. What happens when you have to defend yourself someday? There is nothing wrong with being a strong smart man. You should want to be an alpha male. . You should try to bet the best person you can possibly be even though you are MGTOW. MGTOW doesn't mean giving up on life and being a fucking worthless human. It means not giving a fuck about women and societies expectations. You have to be a retard to take this so far to the point where you decide you just are going to completely give up on yourself physically.

No thanks, my joints will thank me later on in life. I'll stick to my bodyweight calisthenics.

That’s the definition of a man?

500 isn't unreasonable. My knees can't handle that much on a full squat anymore, but back in the day, I maxed over 700. And I was lazy with my lower body workout.

But article's author has a point, too. I've put down a few guys bigger than me who hit like Mack trucks but got gassed in well under a minute because all their focus was on strength and none on endurance.

Had a gf once asked me why I lifted so often when she didn’t need me to be fit. Shocked her when I said “I’m not doing it for you, I’m doing it for me.”

Silly girls, thinking the whole world revolves around them.

I don't lift. I run 5/10k and train MMA.

My aim is to stay healthy and be capable of defending myself.

What PUA meatheads think I need to do to please Massa, has zero importance to me.

"Just <fill in the blank> bro" This is such a typical incel phrase.
