Interesting observation with lifting

Lifting is the cornerstone of TRP for a reason. And I have already started to notice why. It not only changes you appearance it changes your behavior & thoughts. Best thing a man can do for himself, just lift... heavy. And don't eat shit, simple.

I agree 100%, in my experience being a skinny guy is like being a fat girl, you are invisible or not taken seriously. All "hardgainers" need to realize that no one cares about your abs when you don't have any chest or shoulders at 130lb. Your body is repulsive (and most didn't even know it) and you need to solve it ASAP.

Do GOMAD if you need it and are able to, I did it and it was the best thing I ever did for myself.

Size projects masculinity and femininity, it's part of the reason why fat chicks are unattractive: They appear masculine and able to handle themselves do to largeness. Same thing is true with skelly's, women find them unattractive because they seem feminine and delicate. Or as the old saying goes: "Abs on a skinny dude are like Tits on a Fat Chick: You didn't earn those."

You'll also notice many guys that go for big girls are very skinny if not fat themselves, and thin girls who date very skinny men tend to be bisexual.

Its been only a month since i started going to the gym but here is what i realised.

Lifting has taught me to stop being a weak pussy by symphasizing myself about not being able to push a certain weight or a certain task in general, push it to my max and cut through the bullshit when talking to people. I noticed my voice deepens and getting better in holding my urges to fap. Apart from looks getting bettee but its roo early for me to say that, but some people commented about my back looking better in clothes and straightening up.

How big is too big?

I’m around 195lbs at 5’9 and maybe like 16-18% bodyfat and I feel I’m too bulky

Andromeda-1 · 2017-12-03T20:15:09+00:00

This is 100% true for me. I'm a very big dude by average standards (6' and 250 or so) and I also find that nearly anywhere I go men will try to prove themselves to me in front of their girlfriends and wives. They basically do all of the work for me by showing they feel inferior right off the bat.

lifting is important for pulling but not for fighting.

had a coach 50 lbs lighter than myself. talking about I literally towered over him.

he was waay more skilled and faster though, so much so that I couldn't even touch him in sparring.

muscles ain't shit in a fight.

odinmeister · 2017-12-01T15:37:11+00:00

I'm reading TRP and lifting for about one year now. Problem is I can only ever grow in width and can't get taller. I'm 5''4' and it became increasingly evident to me that hight matters big time. Would you guys suggest me something like elevator boots when going out or smth, bc i feel it's a bit weird. Maybe any other suggestions or solace?

Just putting out there, if you're doing everything right, lifting, eating and resting, but not gaining strength/muscles, get your testosterone level checked.

Too keen 2 years to realize and got my level checked. In the low 300 level which is low for my age.

coco5440 · 2017-12-01T13:37:33+00:00

Lifting is great exercise but not everyone who lifts packs on lots of muscle mass. Guys with small bone structure will never become bulky beasts (unless we get fat). That's OK we can still look good. Losing fat and gaining even small amounts of muscle can make a big difference.

Andgelyo · 2017-12-02T03:14:33+00:00

Since I’ve started working out more I’ve also been a lot more aggressive and temperamental, especially since I’ve moved back to an urban setting. I’ve found that I’m more short tempered and confrontational and have this mentality of “I’ll fuck you up” and it’s pretty scary. I want to look good but I also don’t want to be a big fucking dickhead. I would also liked to avoid confrontation at all cost(but be muscular enough to end it). I don’t want to be the one starting anything. Anyone else experience this?

mishasam89 · 2017-12-02T05:53:04+00:00

I can take you in a fight, look at your size." It wasn't in jest. It was dead serious.

--sounds like an idiot, Bruce Lee was small but he could beat up Hulk

BrianSingerPoolparty · 2017-12-02T13:22:40+00:00

Any idea if a large coke can 🍆sized penis helps ? I was thinking instead of gyming why not pay a couple of grand for a implant, what do you guys and the girls lurking here think ? seems all the pornstars are dying to fuck ugly but huge donkey dick black guys

thepontiff_ · 2017-12-01T07:28:00+00:00

Same boat op and it's embarrassing when they playfully pick you up 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

My goal is to gain 50 lbs with proper diet and exercise (core and legs) hopefully my down time in the navy will be spend in whatever crowded gym I can squeeze in.

Logicien6 · 2017-12-01T14:16:32+00:00

In the last year I have gained ten pounds, going from 5'4 130 lbs to 140 lbs (body fat percentage between 10 and 15 atm), and I can say, definitively, that lifting makes a huge difference in your sexual appeal. It is also flattering when you get people in the gym asking what you do for your routines.

KevinMKZ · 2017-12-01T13:55:50+00:00

Anyone else count their daily activities in reps since hitting the gym

I brush my teeth and in my head I'm like "1, 2, 3, 4..."

Khannahk · 2017-12-02T05:34:09+00:00

Lifting is great for mental health, builds ones confidence, allows you to set attainable goals for yourself and achieve them fairly quickly. Lifting's also great for physical health, for obvious reasons. It's also great for establishing a habit of discipline, gotta be dedicated if you want to see some real gains. Beyond all that, who doesn't feel good ripping 405 off the ground or squatting 315? Feels good, man.

Zech4riah · 2017-12-03T20:11:46+00:00

Pook talks he is big at 6'3" and 205lbs :D

If he is totally ripped or almost shredded - yeah, then he has nice amount of muscle mass but 15-20% body fat - kind of normal with some muscularity.

You don't really need to be big or muscular to get women. I can't really notice difference in women's attention. After getting muscle mass all I noticed was that all the insecure guys had something to prove and started to hit some women's niche-categories and some women tell my body looks good after we have had sex. After or right before sex they seem to realize that "oh, this dude has a nice body".

If you desire approval from other men - get big. Otherwise get average sized and focus on game and improving your frame.

madethewrongmistake · 2017-12-02T14:27:54+00:00

This is not really about lifting. It's about SIZE. You'll be lucky to put on 2 lbs of upper body muscle a year as a fully-matured adult. But SIZE can come in many forms, and girls don't look at it like we do.

To demonstrate, I rolled over to progresspics and clicked a random dude: https://imgur.com/HD11Lw0

Now let me ask you something: which is more attractive to a woman? The guy on the left can suck in the gut and puff up his chest to look like a monster next to some girl. The guy on the right, well, he sure looks 'healthy', as in, beta as fuck. No difference in muscle. In fact, the guy on the right might actually have stronger muscles. But he can't lift as much because his weight doesn't counterbalance as well, and he can't walk through a door like it's not even there, and nobody is afraid of him. The important thing is SIZE. Tall, fat (within limits), juicy as fuck, whatever... SIZE.

Now I'm telling you this as a skinny guy that used to be pretty big. I've been fat, I've been jacked, and now I'm skinny. No question, girls like SIZE. Personally I fucking hate fat on my body, and I hate fat people too, but I'm not female.

And just to drive the point home, this very night, my recently-ex girlfriend, a bulimic herself who swears up and down how much she hates fat people, is fucking an old fat dude. When I was fat, she was waiting for me to get home from fucking some other girl. And If I hadn't gone full MGTOW through dealing with her shit, I might start eating like I give a fuck.

cafeitalia · 2017-12-01T15:19:28+00:00

It is the confidence not the size.

Bruce Lee was a skinny dude in today's lifting obsessed youth but he was fucking a white girl as an Asian which was unheard of at the time and now as well.

It is the confidence that gets the woman. Not size. If size makes you confident then go for it but even as a skinny man if you are confident of who you are and around woman you will get more woman than the guy bulking up at the gym.

Look at Leo, the guy has no bulk and walks around with a dad bod and fucks all the supermodels. Why? He is confident as who he is. That is it.

Just 'packing on size' is NOT the answer for every guy on TRP. Frank Zane won Mr Olympia at only 187 pounds and admitted he would have won the subsequent Mr Olympia at a lighter weight admitting he had been too large. I for example have a small waist, neck and head and am very proportioned. I don't squat, doing sissy-squats instead and leaving out heavy pullovers, leg-raises and sit-ups as with a thickened waist (these exercises thicken the hips and waist) I would look out of proportion and frankly, ridiculous. Gironda used to stress symmetry, shape and form, and that's what many guys have to do to look good. Sure if you have a large head or are generally large you can afford to pack on huge amounts of muscles but a lot of guys who had been Beta before (skinny) would look silly with a big ass, hips and waist. Women actually prefer shape and symmetry (many lean guys get loads of girls).
