Why not do both? Lifting doesn't take much time, especially compared to gaming.

It's called moderation friend.

Lift/workout M-W-F Play games Tues-Thurs

I use to be a hardcore gamer, but i've found that I can no longer play MMORPG because those are total life drains, and i also struggle with open-world games because I don't enjoy traversing a lot of open world and talking to tons of NPCs.

I try to play games with limited worlds and not endless dialogue.

Do whatever you want though, you're MGTOW.

Gaming is a harmless and enjoyable way to unwind in the same way that reading fiction and watching movies is.

Lifting is good for your body and state of mind.

Anything to excess is bad by definition.

If you don't get anything out of a pastime or if it's detrimental to your quality of life do something else.

I play Xbox as well. Love it. I also lift and play guitar, bass, drums, piano. I shoot often as well and read quite a lot.

Just getting serious about cooking and have been reading up on medical textbooks to help with my job.

I try to learn a new topic/skill each month.

Much easier to stay in shape by 30 than it is to start getting into shape by 30. The earlier you start the better your body will reward you. Also, just a couple minutes of stretching daily works wonders!

plenty of women and red pill cucks will shame you for having a "useless" hobby, i say fuck them. do what makes you happy. of course i don't know anyone whose main source of happiness in life is raiding in warcraft who isn't a chronically depressed neckbeard, but the end of the day you should be doing things for yourself, for your own benefit. i'm kinda iffy with lifting cuz 99% of guys who work out do it in hopes of attracting pussy. do it cuz you love the burn, cuz you enjoy picking shit up and then putting it down.

The successful man thing to do is what makes you happy. No one else can tell you what that thing is. The beauty of MGTOW is living your life as you see fit without the burden of women.

Yes, lift..

You have roughly 80 years on this planet. One of my best friends spent his 20s playing video have while I exercised and ran races..

By the age of 30, he was obese, high blood pressure, I think diabetes, and has a hard time doing simple tasks. This many problems with 50 more years to go.

I'm still as fit as many 20 year olds. Don't be the guy that spends decades of his life in physical pain

Videogames are fun but I've seen alot of my peers really go overboard with them as far as the time they spend playing them.

Lifting is more rewarding imo, its a great confidence boost to amass strength/fitness you didn't have when you started. Also just walking around with the strength and fitness is equally confidence boosting and makes you feel even more manly.

But if you choose to starting working on your fitness my advice is to not get too caught up in trying to compete with anyone else but yourself. Unfortunately the fitness industry is not a very honest one and is full of people wanting to sell you supplements, diet plans or equipment that wont actually make you achieve what they claim it will.

Absolutely a must IMO but gaming is great too. You just shouldn't overindulge.
