Should lifting/Physical education be mandatory in order to fight the obesity epidemic?
Should lifting be mandatory?
William Evans
Anthony Davis
No, some people's bodies are too weak or have already been damaged by prior sports experience and some people are simply too old and some otherwise would but are currently too sick.
I believe it's good for everyone but forcing everyone to do so won't give everyone a good character in the same way that mandatory schooling does not turn everyone into a good student.
Lastly, while the cultivation of physicality and strength is important spiritually. It is important to realise it is neither sufficient nor necessary and to chastise or diminish a man who displays great intellectual or moral discipline and courage is ill-advised and foolish. Anybody can, ultimately lift things up and put them down, not as many can do the same for the burdens of life, especially during extraordinary times.

At the very least calisthenics should be mandatory in schools
Liam Lewis
You’re a weak fucking British faggot falling down the same rabbit hole of “oy vey we must accommodate every single outlier so fuck standards and expectations” liberals fall down.
Lifting should be mandatory.
Caleb Long
Post physique, user.

I don’t think it should be “mandatory” but extremely encouraged
Let the people who want to stay fat or weak alone and give the people who want to better themselves the tools to achieve their goals and become better human beings
Also “heavy fats” like pic related should be taxed
Lincoln Torres
About to undertake weightlifting soon.
Went down from 365lbs/160ish kg to 228lbs/103.5 kg, and I’m at 21 percent body fat, hoping to get down to 15 percent soon.
Thankfully since I’m 6’6”/1.99m, and only 21, I haven’t seen any loose skin yet, arm flab has been an issue but I’m sure putting on some muscle will quell that issue.
Any of you /fitpol/ anons have any advice for a beginner? Was considering going into stronglifts 5x5 program to start before moving into an intermediate program after half a year or more, thoughts?

Also come to think of it I don't want fatties at my gym hogging the equipment, complaining and going on their phones because the state is forcing them like welfare niggers.
I mean my gym is in my living room, but I still want them the fuck out of my board.
Lucas Flores
You worked out for 10 years to look like that?
I literally don't even work out
Juan Cox
if your weak and old you need to lift 10x more than someone who is young and strong

As long as the lifted things are put back down, it shouldn't be a problem.

>fight the obesity epidemic?
fat people are terrible at fighting just let them get heart attacks and inherit what they leave behind.
Brayden Foster
A calisthenics program like the one in Op’s video would be pretty based
Christopher Myers
Isn’t corona killing the fatties already?
Nicholas Reyes
weight loss is 90% diet
though id be down for regular lifting if gyms were free to use
Dylan Reed
It should be so heavily pushed at the high school level that the social pressure to lift would de facto outlaw being a fat fuck.
James Thomas
It should be mandatory for males in school.
David Campbell
no. walking should be encouraged more.
Luis Barnes
look like shit thought ;D
Blake Taylor
And running/sprints/swimming should be mandatory for girls
Tyler Miller
been lifting a little and doing plenty of calisthentics for a year or so now, i feel skinny as fuck still but ive been making steady gains
even if im not as ripped as i could be, i went from looking like a total twig to something having some visible muscle i noticed my social skills and status improved immediatly following the gains
so many people are in poor shape if you're even a little in shape people notice
so if you're in this thread and dont know about takin that plunge to exercise, do it faggot. do ten pushups right now you fucking disgusting piece of trash
Samuel Butler
Yeah, agreed. But I mean people who are like 95 and will obviously only become more injured as a result. Still I don't believe there's a cut off for light physical activity for an otherwise healthy person and it's vital for retaining independence as you get into an advanced age.

It's not the whole picture but yes, it should. Weakness invites abuse.
Jacob Young
Nah. Tell people they have to do something, they'll get stubborn and resentful. Take any time, effort and money you would spend on getting such a law passed and just spend it on glamorizing physical fitness, while creating interesting social environments around physical fitness. You'll get much better returns on motivating people to work out.
Unironically, tik-tok videos of people doing gymnastics would do more to create a culture of fitness than a law ever could.
Isaac Martin
I think it's pretty weird for bored young guys to never get addicted to weight lifting for a few months but it's also weird to stay addicted to it for a bunch of years, after 3-6 months of serious lifting gains drastically slow down and getting them to go up *at all* after that point requires really pushing it and doing obsessive shit that stops being fun, or just steroids. I've had my fun with it, got physically strong and chemically balanced and got good at following instructions and making decisions on the fly (very important if you're doing heavy lifting) but now I don't get any joy from it and I want to spend my time and energy on other things. Also I have gotten a lot of minor injuries from it and one major injury that put me in the hospital, shit happens.

Yes, it should be mandatory learning in public school and there aught to be PT tests of substantial rigor enforced.
Granted, there would exist alternative events/exercises for those who are crippled or injured, but even they can get strong
Connor James
No, how the fug you going to bench with social distancing fuck wit? Hands up if you don’t do 500 to over a thousand push ups a day and 2,000 ab excercises and pump dumbbells? Oh right you guys that don’t are too weak to hold your noodle arm up.

Shoulders are too bad now (poor research and over enthusiasm when I was younger) to make significant progress anymore.
Do I still do it?
Hell yeah, it's great for my mind and body.
Do I eat better?
Hell yeah, I meal prep better food than my coworkers pay for.
Do I want to eat brown rice and chicken again?
Fuck no, unless I'm going to be on a firemen's calendar or something.

user, put the catch bars for the squat at chest level or just above so you don't get pinned. Yw.

Yas Forums isn't Yas Forums anymore, it's filled with midwit, reddit-tier retards who think they are rebelling against the oppressive system they grew up in but are really just picking and choosing random parts of it to bitch about while ignoring the big picture that our lives were made terrible by an authoritarian, matriarchal society that taught us that males are worthless by default and everything we naturally want to do is evil so we have to put all of our energy into desperately trying to be what we think everyone else wants, and betray and scorn our brothers who don't do the same. None of you would give one shit about having a bunch of kids with your imaginary "tradwife", looking like a greek statue so women won't spit on you, or trying your hardest to believe in a god you know isn't real if you weren't all beta pussy-worshippers deep down who place no value on your own existence as a man by itself and are coping with early emotional damage from the same people you are trying to please.
Christopher Reed
That's the trick, if you get get shape and lift seriously for 1-2 years you will look and feel better than 95% of people and have a huge advantage. After that just do it semi-frequently to maintain gains.
If you want to go further or get there faster just use steroids. Steroids are probably one of the safest drugs if used conservatively, but you can get addicted to the gains if you don't have a strong mind (psychological dependence). I feel like most people that are obsessed with the gym have to have some level of autism to go in every day, unless it happens to be their job or something (like trainer, actor, model, etc.)

Actually it was 2 lol, but I think it's better to express honest ideas in one flow then dividing them into a bunch of 'selling points'
Xavier Wright
Lifting is for fags.
Calisthenics with proper form and isolation gives you the most athletic body.
HIIT so you actually are athletic on top of it.
Unless all you care about is aesthetics, which for me isn't enough motivation. I have to be training for a sport of some kind or I just won't care.

They're poisoned to the core from the post modern society. Proof being they think masculinity is only a chiseled body and fucking tinder sluts, but it runs much deeper than that. They're actually the fuckboys and simps they lol at all day, but don't realize it.

This is the formula for the perfect male body, a.k.a ascended ottermode at 9-11% BF. You may not like it, but this is the way it is.

Spot on, lefties and righties like this are basically both fuckboys and simps at the same time but some of them hate the fuckboy part of themselves and some hate the simp part (and a few hate both). The idea of just accepting the reality that women are absurdly awful with a retarded sense of value and moving on with your lives never occurs to them. Ironically, if you do that you stand a way better chance of actually finding decent women in the future. Women like complete men, men who got complete for their own purposes.
