Does anybody not have any friends that lift

I’m realizing that none of my friends, close or really otherwise lift consistently enough to where I can talk with them about it and nutrition. I’m not saying I want or need a lifting partner, I like to go to the gym alone, but it would be nice if I knew friends who actually cared about their health a little that way I didn’t come off as a dbag when I bring it up.

Obviously my friends and I share other passions and all of that, that keep us close.

I suppose that’s why I come to the Misc, but tbh, it’s kinda become a cesspool if regurgitated nonsense. Which is good for a laugh I guess

The friends I have that lift won't talk about lifting, I have 3 friends that lift.

They also do things that are borderline retarded in the gym, like only using smith machine for all their lifts.

Got a few who think that lifters are egotistical idiots but majority do lift both natural and enhanced
if you need someone to chat with, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.

Everyone else thinks its manly and kinda neanderthalic and don’t geddit but pretend to be interested so I don’t talk to them

There’s this one chick at work though
Hmmmm, tell us more...


I have like 3-4 friends that lift occasionally, but nobody that is remotely committed to the lifestyle. They do just enough to keep from going full dad bod or to stay relevant in the singles game depending on their marital circumstances.

yes, we dont really talk about lifting per se (like numbers and nutrition). Basically only talk about it if we see something funny worth sharing. After its part of your lifestyle for so long, all those conversations have been had.

I don’t mean talking about lifting like I’m obsessed or whatever. I guess maybe I more or less mean friends who can relate and share their own health and fitness goals. And how we are coping in quarantine.

None.

What's funny is they'll be trying to get into shape and I tell them what they need to do and they'll try and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, or that they know better than me.

I've been into it since HS, for well over half my life learning about eating, supps, lifting, all that stuff and they act like they know more than me.

Imagine the nerve, I don't even get what makes people think like that.

If you saw a guy who was a really good guitarist because he'd been balls deep in playing guitar for a decade, you're not gonna go "hUrR i KnOw MoRe AbOuT gUiTaR dEn U".

Yet when you're in shape those same mouth breathers act like the reason you're in such good shape is because you flipped through "Fitness for Dummys" for 10 minutes.
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.
