If he doesn't have what it takes to train regularly, how can he expect us to believe he has the discipline to read a novel?

It doesn't take discipline to read a novel, just like it doesn't take discipline to watch YouTube all day
so why can't he fathom that books on tape and lifting go together like salt on pretzels.
My gym played moby dick all weekend, because it's in my basement.
Reading a novel is harder than lifting things up and putting them down
if you’re a moron yeah
you probably don't count audiobooks as cognitively enriching
*lays down* oh boy this is tough *regrettably lifts arm to turn page* im breaking out in a sweat *puts book down* oof that was hard work!
don't forget to do a warmup before trying to lift a word with more than 3 syllables into your brain, with your eyes.
Haha those fit guys are wasting their lives unlike me who is currently reading Harry Potter amd Fifty Shades! I am so educated and smart!
No way, I read all the time and haven't been able to stick to the gym for a decade.
i actually agree i'm a low attention span tard and i literally find it easier to life and work out than to pay attention to a book

lmao novels are light reading what are you even on about
My niece reads novels and she's 8 bro come on.
There seems to be a misapprehension among normies that lifting requires a vast time investment
Normies dont have 4 hours a week to spend training. They need their 10 hours a week taking selfies until they get one where they look ok.
Notice how they always use the shame technique in subversion? It's not a coincidence.
Who else loves sitting in a changing closet and counting your muscles for hours. I think I have 100 now

In my experience the "meathead" stereotype is completely accurate and you don't need to be a genius to see it.

Everyone is competing for social prestige and one way to get prestige is to change what's considered prestigious. If you're a nerd then it's in your interest to convince others that jocks are not prestigious and vice versa.
This is why people are never content with simply being quietly proud of their achievements while respecting that others care about different things. Every person who doesn't care about your achievements - who cares about other people's achievements! - is a social threat because your "prestige points" are meaningless to them and you are, essentially, at ground zero no matter how much you deadlift or how many books you've read.
It's also why everyone loves to gang up on acceptable targets. It's in EVERYONE'S interest to exclude newcomers to the game so even though fat fetishism for example isn't really any more destructive than steroid abuse and there's not much of a logical basis for opposing it when we accept other things you still get a grand coalition simply because excluding fatness as a source of social prestige is one less threat to your own horde.
I am no longer human, however, so the social dogma no longer concerns me and all of this becomes trite. It is trite to observe that gym rats are as a population pretty dumb; it's equally tired to try and assert that dumb people are bad people.
I wonder if I went and looked in the archives for how many years this same screencap had been posted.
blah blah blah shut up bro! you're weird!
You didn't have to write an essay for what we all already know.
We all know people with no self control want to change the standards so they can continue being fucking losers. Why do you think we have Fat people hate threads? The person in OP is no different than a ham planet trying to convince people she's as healthy and beautiful as a thin girl.
Writing that much makes you come off as one of those reddit liberals who want to say as much as possible to sound smarter than they are.
>"You didn't have to write an essay for what we all already know."
>proceed to misunderstand their entire post and just start ranting about how much you hate fat people
Could you give me a rundown on this screen so anon you seem smart
I'll read your post if you post body
Too many words
>blablabla
Seek help moron
I read and lift. Lift + cardio for about 90 minutes a day, read classic lit for about 90 minutes a day. These things are not mutually exclusive, you lift at the time of day when you have the most energy, you read at the time of day when you have the least energy.
Nahh bro I read at least 200 self-insert/power fantasy/wish fulfillment books a year
>memorised
Yeah the more time that's gone on, the more I've realized I don't give a shit what Europeans think.
Probably because you're nonwhite, or at least possess the soul of a moron.
I'm white and hate morons. I also hate gay Europeans.
Been lifting a year and honestly, I now believe this guy was right all along. I'm still gonna go to the gym and stay in shape, but I'd be lying if I said all the hours I've spent in the gym are equally as enriching to my life and mind compared to if I had filled that time reading some Greek historians or whatever. I do both of those things, but in retrospect, I could've gotten a lot more done with all that time I've allotted to the gym.
This tweet literally flashes in my head every time I'm wrapping up a workout and realize I have now spent my day doing nothing but lifting things and going to work for several hours.
Not all things are intellectual.
So much of wisdom in lterature is about becoming more wise, strong snd disciplined. But that is not a purely intellectual excercise. Many people who work dillignetly towards their goals and vocations internalise a wisdom and mindset that is a world of difference from the general population. The writer of a book like karate do kyohan didn't learn what was required to write that book through sophistry, it was learned through practise. Doing is a kind of learning, one that is often more meaningul than knowing of the concept as intellectually articulated paragraph in a book.
Which is why the this meme post is stupid.
>Been lifting a year
oh man guys you have totally enlightened me about how doing one thing isn't going to make things better, I'm going to try doing a different single thing and see if that works
if only anyone had figured out like 4000 years ago that a balanced life was better than an unbalanced one, but I guess I'll just keep being a fuckup instead
I spend like 6 - 8 hours a week working out, got plenty of time for shit like reading, writing and social stuff. we have plenty of time in our lives, we just waste so much of it with bullshit.
if you cant commit yourself to actual hobbies, u got different issues than priority
I unironically do pimsleur mandarin lessons while driving to the gym.
>ITT: retards falling for guppys b8
for a Website that prides itself on trolling le normies you all get fucking fiddled way too easily
>grown men angrily typing replies outside of twitter to an old tweet by some shitlord who will never read them
fucking hell youre all literally NGMI
A healthy, mature person would do both. It's pretty pretentious and childish to assume you can't do one without the other.
listen fellas
regardless of how pathetic the guy in OP's pic is, there's one lesson to be gained from all of this. No matter what you accomplish in your life, there is always going to be some gay out there that isn't going to be impressed by it. Solution? Stop giving a shit what anyone thinks and validate your own accomplishments with respect to how important they are to YOU.
This guy gets it. You can't please everyone. Your opinion of yourself is what matters.
Just read and lift. Not hard. Reading for 30 minutes before bed increases my sleep quality a lot = better gains. This is a what are you reading thread now. I have just finished Notes From the Underground and am now reading No Longer Human, what about you anons?
