Didn’t read a single reply...define ego lift.

My chick loves it when I attack some weight in the gym...of course I’m strong enough to do it so maybe it’s not my business.

I'm sure dude and you look great now. But for most people, lifting heavy means you have to look like a sack of potatoes "to maximize the weight you can lift"

Sure because shes your chick. Other women (who aren't your girlfriend) don't get wet at someone lifting heavy unless they're powerlifters themselves.

I definitely don't agree with that my brah. Most people who lift heavy and look like chit are a result of making excuses to eat like a slob. Has nothing to do with how they train. Plenty of heavy lifters who have good physiques.


But regardless, your physique is gonna be noticed before the weight you lift anyways. Only a small niche group of females care about the amount of weight you lift, and typically they are powerlifters themselves.

Well I agree with you there. But for the majority of powerlifters looking to "get those numbers up" for their weight class or whatever, significant amount of body fat has to be put on for the most part. Ok I get 13-16% for a competition but holy chit if you are above 13% for more than a year something is wrong with your lifestyle or diet

Maybe true maybe not...I don’t pay attention on that level. But people call lifting heavy “ego lifting” when it in fact might not be. If you don’t know that I can squat 6 plates easily and you see me load it you might think I’m doing it to get attention...

So when you played those sports did you do it for the sake of getting pussy or did you do it for the sake of bettering yourself and becoming a better athlete? Well same logic applies here.

You’re talking about guys who are overfat thinking it helps that lift heavier? If yes, then I agree.

This is a bit of a size queen of me to say, but I do care a little how much a guy can lift in the sense that they need to be able to back up their talk. I don’t ask, but if I’m dating someone and they try to subtly brag about the weight they can lift, numbers better be actually impressive. Actually happened on a date once where the guy mentioned how he can incline dB bench 60 lb for a few reps. I wasn’t impressed so I didn’t say anything. He followed up with do you see a lot of guys lifting that kind of weights? Told him not a lot but it’s not a number I’d write home about.
They said she's gone too far this time

IF i was to compare myself to the average gym goer then id say i have the advantage in terms of muscle mass/overall look.. But yet i can barely lift a single weight for my chest because i had surgery not long ago.. Don't give any chits tho because once you're out the gym no one gives a fk.

If it was just about getting women, we'd all be twinks because you don't need to lift weights to get girls at all.

I'm on your side about assuming the ego-lifting part, but then how do you explain a chit physique lifting 6 plates easily? I know a lot of guys don't lift for women.

Why would you tell a woman how much you lift? Unless she's one of these rare fitness chicks who has any compass about strength it would be be like explaining math to a mouse.

I don't lift for girls though. I lift heavy cuz I like it. I'm think somewhat aesthetic for a powerlifter so I'm fine. I could probably be more aesthetic though

I should have clarified. Ill be impressed by people lifting heavy with correct form. I am saying their are so many noobs that come to the gym and compare every lift they do to someone else. They always end up lifting more than they can handle with bad form.

that's different entirely though, he trains martial arts. For most guys it's about how big and strong you are compared to your opponent.

Do you like Eddie Hall? I think he is strong as chit, but high blood pressure and diabetes are flying his direction based on the amount of bodyfat he holds + amount he eats to be that big.

Both trained martial arts in that video. The guys I am referring too won't be able to dance for chit idc how big they are, it's a grappling game for them. A few hits to the right spot will bring them down fast, especially with all the weight their joints have to support.

Lets get this back on topic though. Women won't look at a fatty who can lift a lot.

Ever heard of lineman? Sumo wrestlers? Heavyweights in grappling or combat sports? Not everyone who's a very good athlete has a god tier physique. You also used a dude who's a 1% outlier in how big and fat he is to prove your statement. Plenty of really good athletes who don't have great physiques whether it's due to genetics or diet or both. Some peoples lives don't revolve around what girls think.
