What 6 Months Of Lifting Will Do

averageredditor123 · 2016-06-26T21:29:29+00:00

For 99% of people, 6 months of lifting will not bring about these drastic changes, as the title would suggest. Even jacked dudes who stand at a bar and do nothing will usually never be approached. Chances are the effects of your results are amplified by being tall and good-looking.

I think this thread needs some lets-get-back-to-earth comment.

Yes, lifting will improve your life - you will be more manly, have more confidence, be more attractive, etc. You WON'T suddenly become this god walking among mortals. OP most likely has good genes to start with, going to the gym is only a cherry on top.

Lifting will make your life easier, but you'll still have to do stuff to get stuff (e.g. approach girls to get them).

Steve_Wiener · 2016-06-27T00:23:28+00:00

I'm 6'2'', been lifting for years, probably bigger than you and I never get any of that

A waitress has never given me something free in my life and I get more hateful/aggressive stares from guys than head nods. And girls never approach me, but I don't go to bars though.

so good for you but I wouldn't say that's normal

Pewdielockz · 2016-06-26T19:51:22+00:00

I lift since 6 months, but i never did anything in this direction earlier in my life, I'm 20 now.

I'm feeling overall better and more confident, but purely by appearance I don't see a change. Well, except for a way better posture and walking style, better than probably everybody who doesn't do any sports at all (like me half a year ago lol)

I hope some more years will help me get even better.

It makes you realize how base instincts control humans. People are naturally nicer to better looking people without realizing it. Also, if other men are not sure they could take you in a fight, then they naturally want you on their "team" and so are nicer to you.

endyn · 2016-06-26T19:17:04+00:00

Respect from other men has gone up. Weirdly, other guys will come up and just talk to me in public. I get the "nod" from other dudes who lift.

Been working out for years and never got that. You sure they were not just gay guys hitting on you?

the-capitan · 2016-06-26T21:41:31+00:00

By the way, I'm black. So for any minorities reading this, no excuses. No surrender.

this right here. not saying you haven't been on the receiving end of stupid racist bullshit, but when you stop blaming external shit, and you decide to take responsibility for your place in life, you stop making excuses and you become unstoppable. this is winner mentality right here.

I believe the " nod " is street talk for : Wassup bro.......respect !!! but if there is a smile along with it then uh yeah........they're hitting on you.

bowie747 · 2016-06-26T22:04:09+00:00

ass slapped and chest groped in bars

I don't think I need to say this here, but imagine if the roles were reversed.

Applewoood · 2016-06-27T01:47:20+00:00

And this is another difference between men and women. When we want to increase our attractiveness we do so by bettering ourselves. Women on the other hand will generally just spit out fat acceptance garbage till their opinion of themselves is high enough to not do anything about it. And they will have no problem finding a guy that will spout blind praise, calling her fat cottage cheese ass a lovely "thick booty."

I love female bartenders and waitresses. They'll hook you up just for being attractive

redpillbanana · 2016-06-27T07:52:55+00:00

5) You realize you're better than other people. When I walk around, all I see are guys who are skinny fat, or just fat. Their eyes are dead. Their vessels are weak, which weakens their mind and spirit. Building a strong vessel has increased my creativity, energy and confidence. People can sense that shit, they can see it in your eyes.

Homer Simpson: Well, are you better than me?

Darryl Strawberry: Well, I've never met you, but... yes.

dianaballer · 2016-06-27T07:01:39+00:00

2016 RP Lifting rule seems to be that the kg sum of the plates your spinning should never be more than the kg sum of the plates you're pressing.

Bro. are you Darkskin or Lightskin?

nomorelulu · 2016-06-27T04:24:49+00:00

Let's be real: 6 months in the gym won't do much for a physique. Sure, you can lose weight but you won't stand out. I've been lifting for almost 4 years now and I'm just starting to reap the social rewards of having a good physique (ie. people stare when I wear tanks, frequent compliments, girls are always touching my arms).

Then again BBC genetics are a real thing so maybe you're already jacked lol

How do you balance weight lifting and boxing?

I started MMA a few months ago but it's the most tiring thing I've ever done. It's detracted heavily from my lifting which kind of sucks. Definitely got smaller.

I seriously don't understand how a 6'2" early 20's black guy who wasn't morbidly obese actually thought his race was a DETRIMENT to picking up chicks until he worked out.

Merely wandering into a bar with a diverse clientele and observing for 10 minutes would disabuse you of that notion.

Edit: If he had said that working out allowed him to, say, get a PROMOTION at work, an accomplishment towards which he thought his race was a detriment, yeah, I'd be able to kind of see his point on that issue.

pikachufan2222 · 2016-06-26T21:12:33+00:00

I've been bench pressing this spare mattress in my room and doing situps about every two days. (Though I've slacked off lately, trying to make that up.) When I get back to senior year in school I want people to actually ask who I am, because I want the change to be that surprising.

collegegreens · 2016-06-26T22:50:21+00:00

Lifting did make me leaner and more muscular, but I think the biggest change was in my posture. I never considered myself tall. I'm actually only average or maybe just over average height (180cm), but since lifting I've actually had multiple women say that I'm tall and one complimented me specifically on my posture. A good posture makes you look better, taller and stronger. You get more respect from everyone.

maje5678 · 2016-06-26T20:43:53+00:00

How were the strength gains?

jauschaffer · 2016-06-26T22:19:15+00:00

You definitely did the right thing by holding your weight about constant throughout. Now, it's time to bulk slowly.

Starting and ending squat/bench/dead?

Father_Tyler · 2016-06-26T22:25:18+00:00

My nigga. Is your boxing workout cardio based or technique? What do you do on leg day if you have sprints or quick jump rope for extended periods?

2016-06-26T22:40:28+00:00

Yea. Most people never understand that the learning curve is exponential. I've seen most people hit gym and lift too hard on the first day and then quit after a week. As far as I know, the first two month pass without any significant improvement. Then all of a sudden, you will notice that your body is growing.

TheReformist94 · 2016-06-26T23:09:21+00:00

You're still 6'2. I've got mates who are ripped as fuck,but because they aren't as tall or facially as attractive they still don't get the same reaction.

Xander756 · 2016-06-27T00:06:54+00:00

You still lose though because you didn't get the waitresses number.

suske127 · 2016-06-27T00:28:30+00:00

Awesome shit, brother! Glad it's going so well for you! Sounds like you had a good base to begin with so 6 months of dedication was "enough" - and the more time you continue to put in, the better results you're gonna' be left with. Keep it up

StoicCrane · 2016-06-27T00:32:31+00:00

After 4 months of lifting women will literally approach me now comment on my muscles and find ways to touch my shoulders in conversation. In grocery shops other men let me cut in front when I have fewer items. One literally commented "You have less things than me. You need to go home and feed your muscles." I kid you not! Women are naturally more submissive in general around me less confrontational. When you respect and take care of yourself other people will bend over backwards to accomodate you.

aanarchist · 2016-06-27T22:23:35+00:00

it's not cuz you lift homie.

DerpishGambino · 2016-06-28T19:56:14+00:00

Wow, that last line really did surprise me there. I'm black as well, 6'4" and about 195 with low body fat and always groomed face. Can't say I get anything free or get people randomly walking up to me, but I'm 100% my nonverbals and posture show confidence. But kudos to you, glad to hear another minority on TRP having success.

JonMan219 · 2016-06-27T05:03:06+00:00

Further indicator that lifting does absolutely nothing for normal guys. And dudes in here seriously think this is shit is a game changer? Please...

Wamaeno · 2016-06-27T10:15:08+00:00

8 months in myself and i can tell your text smells like sh***. You won't gain any superpower like what you described.

Yesterday i met many family members after months. Only two of them acknowleged my gains (which are definetly there). The evening before i was on prom of a friend. I got good reactions from women and men both (who haven't seen me for 1+ year as well), while nobody talked about my muscles directly. This only happened in university yet.

You won't see girls strange girls come up to me. Or people nodding me on the streets. Or giving free stuff. I mean, why should this happen? I look 1 to 1 1/2 better on my SMV scale, but this won't give you some superpower. It a slight increase, nothing more.

Netherless, hitting the gym is the best decision i ever made in life. I don't do it for my looks, i do it for an increase in self confidence (which is there) and the moments of beeing high from adrenalin/dopamin/endorphins. It's just fun.

KV-n · 2016-06-26T20:23:04+00:00

in 6 mths of liftin i went from 72kg 16% bf to 73kg 15% bf :D so much for my results :-/ Where i went wrong - in the first 3 mths i didnt eat enough. the next 3 mths i didnt lift enough (crazy workload). Also shitty genetics, im glad im at least at 72

great_artists_steal · 2016-06-26T20:43:10+00:00

I wonder if that would work for a 5 ft 9 guy as well.

SirSubwayeisha · 2016-06-26T21:28:22+00:00

Great post. I commend your progress.

rmoviesok · 2016-06-26T22:40:27+00:00

It really only takes 3 months to get noob gains.

A lifetime to maintain.

makechangegreatagain · 2016-06-27T02:31:17+00:00

I too have been lifting. I also go running and I commute to work/school on my bicycle regularly.

I don't have a 6 pack yet but I'm at 15% body fat and have a bit of an adonis belt going. I visibly look slightly bigger, my boss asked me if I've been lifting the other day and said he can tell.

I also notice the weird boost in respect I get from people around me. Guys who used to kind of tease and rag on me don't really do it anymore.

I attract women left and right everywhere I go. I was out with a high school buddy and his girlfriend just the other night and his girl was coming onto me, brushing my arm, hugging me etc.. I could tell she was attracted to me. Tonight my co-worker said to her boyfriend on the phone "good night I love you" as she grabbed my cock in the kitchen at our restaurant. Lots of girls who have boyfriends give me IOIs. Women approach me at the bar, I've been approached at stores by women and flirted with etc.. I've also got the "nod" as you talked about from other people with athletic/fit builds.

However, I'm also doing well with my professional life. I'm in a really great college and at the top of my class right now. I have cool style and play guitar and have been told by multiple women that I'm great in the sack.

I'm only 5'8".. That's below average height. If you're not 6'+ it's not the end of the world. I know a lot of tall guys who are just awkward, dress like shit, and socially stupid. Being tall does not mean you're automatically attractive. Focus on what you CAN DO to boost your SMV. Your height is something that can't be changed so you need to learn to accept it.

Some things that never happened #335445

You cannot have around 180 lb muscle mass after only 6 months, even with juice.

Fiction, but motivational.

BabyFork · 2016-06-26T22:40:35+00:00

KIZAN · 2016-06-27T03:09:03+00:00

Perhaps people took considerable notice on top of the fact that you're tall and that you're fit now. Height has something to do with it for sure.

roeddit · 2016-06-27T07:57:46+00:00

I don't need to approach girls at bars.

All this is awesome, but for anyone reading this - please don't think that you'll EVER get to a level where you no longer need to approach and just be a pretty little flower at the bar that gets high-quality pussy. Maybe this guy does OK, but he could do even better if he was more ballsy.

TheRealYM · 2016-06-26T20:34:25+00:00

you realize your better than other people

Fuck off, no you're not. You may be in better shape than most, and get more respect, but the minute you start thinking your above those who aren't in a similar position, that's when you start to lose that respect and become a fuckwad gymrat that no one likes. Have confidence in yourself but don't let it go to your head. If you act as if all of it is just no big deal, people will respond well and respect you more for it

PGI99 · 2016-06-26T22:35:32+00:00

Not to bring you down or anything, but as an amateur boxer I can tell you that lifting weights is only good for asthetics and will not make you a better boxer at all. My advice, start boxing 2 hours a day 6 days a week and stop lifting. It will make you look way better and incredibly confident knowing that you can drop any guy who even gives you an off look. Lifting IMO is a waste of time better just to get better at fighting and you'll have a much stronger internal frame.

smfc · 2016-06-26T20:39:42+00:00

i have to lift and eat constantly to maintain a healthy weight and bp% and if i stop ill revert to being a skinny fuck within months. always stay lifting.

ThrowawayMonk91 · 2016-06-26T22:17:01+00:00

A little advice if you could. I'm minority as well. Workout. I'm actually about to go practice some Muay Thai woth some friends. Been doing all this since November. But, I'm not really getting anywhere. 5'6. Weak facial structure but I grew a full beard. Is the latter two things why I'm not having much success?

Regularguygamebrah · 2016-06-27T03:26:07+00:00

HipHop is the new Rock. Good shit OP and it's the best time for you to be you. Welcome aboard and as a 6'4" 205 white man, I can say I'm happy to have you on board. I will also say, have the presence of mind to know you already won the lottery by being who you are when you are. However, don't be the guy who wins a million and thinks he never has to work again. Keep your head on your shoulders OP
