Who here /liftingpol/

nice try Holla Forums

that's your choice tbh, but just so you know I can very easily turn reactionary if I find leftists aren't willing to support me. Basically I'm not gonna work with you unless you respect my gender shit so heh take your pick

Maybe 2 and a half.

Did it for a year and a half, decent gains, but it seemed like an absurd exercise that took up a lot of time. So quit.

I choose option C.

Maybe 2 and a half months* It's fucking late.

You are already an reactionary by engaging in fascist perversions. You know where you belong to.
>>>/gulag/

it's like 2 hours a week at most, wtf are you talking about

Nice reaction leftypol. If you're neeting, you should at least spend time getting fit for the revolution. Lazy bodies that can't handle labor are useless to your community, your family, and yourself.

Exercise increases neurogenesis, improves health and focus, makes you a better and smarter person.

I don't understand how anyone could be against this.

That being said I'm back on a consistent strength training routine after losing track in college.

I think body building is interesting, but I feel strength training is more immediately practical and fits better into leftist ideology.

agreed. seems like a lot of people think lifting implies some discriminatory bias toward masculinity which just isn't true. I think everyone should at least lift.

Keeping you is no gain, getting rid of you is no loss.

Seriously though, see how well the reactionaries will treat you. The worst you have to deal with here is a surly minority. The best you will find there are deluded chasers.

Three times an hour to work out, three times an half hour of transit time. That's nearly five hours out of my free time which comes to about 25 hours on weekdays. Not negligible. All for something which is fairly pointless - I'm not doing and not planning to do armed combat or physical labor any time soon.

If it ever comes to that, I'll just do four months for those sweet beginner gains, and that'll be enough.

We need strong, healthy people of all kinds.

my point exactly

What are you training right now?

Leftypol should get into meditation too. Makes reading easier, helps you dispel spooks, returns a zest for life.

Rippetoe starting strength

Excellent pick comrade. May gains come your way.

Fucking Anarchists.
Stalin was right to let the Fascists fucking slaughter you retarded shitbags.

Starting to work out

Damn

The Frankfurt School sank the Aryan Atlantis

that they do, that they do

I`m more concerned by the lack of military training among the left. We need more ex-military personnel in our collective ranks. Our Anti-war and more over anti-military attitudes must come to a closure. We need to support conscription across the board to train the working class for the revolutionary conditions of the future.

Who else here /vietcong/ lifting?

good luck. leftist organization is pretty much against the law in the US

Redneck Revolt I heard is doing something along these lines.

Just what the left needs, another fucking tranny. Fuck off this is a worker's movement.

I remember in middle school I would fill up juice jugs with sand/gravel at the local part and lift them at home.

Seriously though, anyone who opposes trans liberation doesn't deserve death. They deserve worse.

Somehow we got derailed with idpol, going both ways. No one should care what gender someone identifies with, it's a spook. That being said, you can't expect someone to care about your gender: because it is a spook.

...

yes

this. Incelfags and tumblrkiddies both have to go. Sage because off topic.

While I agree, I find something distasteful about deliberately ruining the usefulness of your body by diminishing testosterone, thereby diminishing strength and ability to gain it. The Left needs soldiers, not dyel traps who can't carry a rucksack.

I don't hate trans people, I was replying to a stupid comment.

The left does not need more kids who want to jerk off to traps and sit around asking for pictures of "animu boy pussy".
Do you think people want to be on the side of a pacifist movement full of femboys?
this

Fuck off. I can be a man and still jack to anime boys and dumb trannieposters.

Normalfags to the gulag

I agree with this, with limited time, focusing on strength makes more sense than bodybuilding, but I also think doing cardio is equally important.

Disagree the traps will carry those small japanese backpacks and drive tanks, and are extremely important to my vision of the revolution.

I do. Literally lifting cos I think the streets are gonna be a bloodbath soon and I want to bash fash

...

...

Wow I was on you side until you started pulling this bullshit. Fuck off you stupid tranny you are probably mentally unbalanced and would be next to useless in a revolution anyways. Your highest accomplishment is probably making sure people keep their conception that the left is filled with social outcasts whose most important goal is destroying the """oppressive""" gender binary. Go join the reactionaries and enjoy being thrown in a gas chamber.

Why exactly would you be interested in revolution? All I ever see you do is shill for neo-libs.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

eat shit and die Holla Forums

I think generic randoseru backpacks have higher revolutionary potential, but I'm willing to be pragmatic.

Revolution is inevitable, but how we prepare for it differs. While I believe that strengthening of the working class by providing them with wide options form healthcare to education are necessary to strengthening themselves, along with strong trade unions for class consciousness. Its more effective to improve the conditions of working class and their preparedness for the revolution instead of actively trying to agitate them towards revolution, since revolutionary conditions in the west are dead.

So mods are basically liberals nowdays?

Well, the BO of /leftpol/ is an admitted tranny SJW pedophile, so yeah….that goes without saying, user.

Top kek lads. Stick to redistributing cock up your arses.

Mods on this board are mentally dysfunctional basement dwellers that dress up like ninjas & throw shit at elderly people to "protest fascism"…so yeah.

...

I lift, but I'm doing more cardio so I can get prepared to learn muay thai in the fall. As someone whose been both a fatass and fit, I can say I feel much better fit and everything from reading to cooking is easier.

Liberation from what? Not being able to rape women in public restrooms and trick straight men into fucking them without getting beat up?

Is this real? Who let this happen?

because without strict gender roles, everyone would be raping one another
damn dude, didn't know people could be fooled into being gay, are you sure you're straight?

Can't wait for Holla Forums to actually revolt. It won't even make the local news.

what a qt, good thing I started lifting a few months ago

I literally see a different pic every single time people claim they found who the BO was. I doubt it.

This shit is fake. There are some faggots who have started posting this pic everywhere while claiming it's BO about one month ago. It was even spammed on Holla Forums once.

It's another slave ray where Holla Forums looked into their porn folders and pulled something out.

...

Lift weights you faggots. Any argument against it is fucking pure laziness. Makes you healthier. That alone should be enough.

Wait so leftcoms aren't workers? It all makes sense now

Hey, I'm not a basement dweller you fuck

are you gay?

jesus fuck can you idiots go one day without getting maximally autismal about fucking traps

Lifting is anti-capitalist, do it

>tfw i try to encourage my gay friend to lift with me no homo

this is awesome

I can't afford proper weights.
Will this do the job? I've been lifting with this.

I hit the gym about twice per week, just to do some conditioning and cardio to stay in shape. When I start going to university full time next year I'll be able to work out more, but right now I work 10 hour shifts four days per week in addition to night classes so it's hard to find time.

I mean its not ideal comrade but it will work. Anything that holds substantial mass will work. I used to use cast iron scrap metal I had lying around to do maintenance workouts when I couldn't get to the gym. I helps man

Probably, the main difference would be that weights at a gym let you adjust the weight by adding more, that way you push the limit. But just lifting heavy stuff will make you stronger.
you should look in to calisthenics if you haven't already. I don't do much of it myself, but there are a lot of different and effective ways to use body weight.

I don't think it is that heavy sadly, only about 80LB.

...

...

What, you don't want to run across rooftops and set up cameras and bugs and plant bombs and shit?

Who else fit-fat here? I do cardio and lift a bit, have really good endurance and strength but still flabby in some places.

I guess it doesn't really matter, the revolution will have its own endomorph division.

This kid isn't going to win in a fight, stop LARPing

Lifting is all well and good but any active revolutionary militancy will involve more urban or countryside guerrilla warfare. Stamina and firearms training is more important.

The thread goaded me into picking up my weights and doing some exercises, good job.

We need both. Nighttime can get awfully cold out in the field, user.

Careful not to fall for it

Periodical lifting. At the moment can't afford gym and don't have space for rack or bench at home. Lift some modular manuals and do some calisthenics. Also hiking and skiing. Been bummed out the last six months and physical fitness has deteriorated.

Yes please.
We /mirror's edge/ nao
the red is a metaphor for communism

I've been lifting for 3 months now. I need a gym buddy, I've been having trouble lately of going consistently.
I've listened to audiobooks while lifting, 10/10 would recommend. I wish there were more socialist audiobooks of good quality, I'm running out of material.

agreed.
the post was on topic because it is about lifting and the anarkiddie is taking hormones that interfere with building muscle. it just seems there are a lot of reactionaries around, be them from reddit or Holla Forums or just unread Holla Forums tards.
this shit is also bad:
from

also, everyone should be doing exercise, it doesn't have to be lifting.

I feel you man. I was bummed out as fuck six months ago, 29 year old. depressed neet, on the verge of suicidal. Couldn't see the light in the end of the tunnel.
Got some therapy and made some changes in my behavior, the biggest one was training a combination of cardio and strength twice a week. Pretty much changed my life. I'm still a neet with no future, but I'm actually happy now, and able to face my challenges.
Five months ago I literately couldn't find my chest muscles, now I'm stronger than I've ever been. And that rush that starts coming after some weeks of hard training, feels real good man. I think cardio is the most important one, getting your pulse up to 180 and staying there for as long as you can take.
Also I don't drink or smoke anymore, so that's probably also got something to do with it.

False.

I'm /volcel/ not a normalfag.

CNT-FAI militia was a failure let's face it. youtube.com/watch?v=3ufTFRGPrCM

This meme is overdone.

Been lifting for three years

Fucking degenerate
go back to r/FULLCOMMUNISM

Ah yes nothing to do with trade blocks by the allied nations who would refuse to offer the republicans arms or the stalinist forces who seemed to spend more time assasinating CNT leaders than fighting Franco's soldiers. Or the fact that Franco had the german condor legion and Italian forces on his side nope none of that matter you anarkiddies just succcc lol.

I can't, I have exams to work for
I need good grades so I can get a tenure and indoctrinate students

who gives a shit what socrates thought

Why is vanilla protein so shit?

I'm doing bodyweight exercises.

This is such a ridiculous way to respond.

What is so offensive about saying

It was. See the video, 5 minutes in. (Inb4 he's a tankie so therefore everything he said is automatically wrong, fuck the sources). CNT militia soldiers would just leave their posts randomly, they would join simply because they wanted to give their family bread, the commanders wouldn't train their soldiers, etc.

If you want to see a good libertarian militia, see pic related.

wonder how many of them lift

hint: zero

...

prove me wrong

i do run everyday, train muscels every other day. is no big think, mostly just to keep my self healthy and shit and good looking

People in this board wish for a revolution yet don't even have physical strength or know how to handle guns. :^)

He will if he practices grappling.

Wasn't Lenin very much pro-sports and thought the youth should undertake and participate to the extent possible.

You have to be bigger if you want to throw a capitalist off his yacht.

I'm way too anxious to consider lifting in public spaces. I have some dumbbells and do body-weight exercises, maybe I will hit the gym when I am stronger.

reporting in. pull day today.

Have you guys read your early Mao?

marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-6/mswv6_01.htm

Just go. The worst thing that could happen is someone looks at you strangely, but you can just do your business without interacting with people.

starving workers and peasants toppled the tsar. stick thin chinese and vietnamese peasants drove out capitalism. they certainly weren't hulking gymrats

I am pretty sure the historical Socrates would not of said that but instead as interpreted by Plato as Plato was a wrestler in his youth.

I'll lift when I'm old enough to start worrying about muscle mass retention. Until then, I prefer cardio and body weight exercise.

how the fuck is this fair? gender is a spectrum and I identify as being more manly than I am now, where the fuck is my HRT and roids?

good point actually

is it hard to mass produce testosterone?
would be pretty funny if we could have massive factories pumping out supplements for proletarian supersoldiers

what are you a capitalist pig?

wish i could lift
sadly i'm too lazy and shy

Laziness and shyness aren't core parts of you, just temporary problems you're experiencing at this moment. Besides, you don't need to stay motivated to work out, you just need to be motivated enough to create the habit, and then it's just inertia. That nice thing about beginning lifting is that it's fucking easy and quick, we're talking 30 minutes max, while you're not even having any difficulty; it'll be more difficult and take longer later, but if you get to that point you'll already have formed a habit that makes you more uncomfortable to disobey than to follow, and you'll have those sick beginner gains to keep you motivated.

As for shyness, you're lifting, not socializing, most people aren't going to talk to you, and if they do, you can just nod your head. You might look retarded when you're beginning, I know I did, but you'll learn and stop looking retarded, not like anyone cares; I've seen people doing stupid shit all the time at the gym and I just had a chuckle to myself and forgot about it.

I'm a lazy SOB then and I still am now, but all you need is a real and meaningful goal to start, and once you start and the habit is formed, you're set.

this but unironically

there is a reason the armed forces (in the UK at least) make you do a timed 5k run to enlist

cardio/endurance are much more useful in combat than being hench
too much muscle mass will hurt your effectiveness

of course being super frail isn't good either, so a bit of lifting is good if you are weak just don't only lift. run/cycle/row as well

looking fit and being fit are different

know what, the maximum allowed time is?

It varies,
i was thinking of the navy officer requirement, and misremembered, it's only 2.4k

2.4k in 11:09 for a young male

other branches may be easier/harder
e.g royal marines have to do 2.4k on a 2% incline in 12:30, then 1m break then 2.4k in 10:00

badass quote thanks for sharing

Thanks. Need some long therm goals in cardio, I'm thinking that royal marine test sounds pretty good to build a work out around.

I tried doing that a while ago but found it hard to maintain a routine. Don't have a pull up bar which is annoying

You can get really cheap ones that can be set in a doorway, or go outside and find something that looks like one.

winners dont do drugs

lol go ahead and side with fascists then idgaf. they will shoot you on sight, no doubt about it, good luck i guess

end this bullshit. recruit veterans and learn from *them*, don't send more workers into the imperial meat grinder. that is Holla Forums tier analysis
