Kind of lost the rugged ,real aspect of it. Right around the time ppl started talking about skipping leg day and s**t like. It has become too self aware .

Now it's about wearing $300 gym gear and taking selfies in the right light, and getting a pat on the back for it.

Calisthenics is more honest, but as it becomes more popular it will start getting diluted down.
I agree with this, but I don’t know about calisthenics getting diluted. Progression is too hard for most people.

No, what I mean by this is that calisthenics will probably get diluted as it becomes more popular - it hasn't yet.

Agreed , real progression in calisthenics requires work.Human flag, muscle ups etc - no cheating like with weights

Definitely.

Just go into your subscriptions folder here on the misc and go back to 10 years, you'll see the difference in the quality of threads and responses in those threads.

-Red alts spam all lifting threads about being fat, being natty is stupid, you hit your natty limit after 2 years, etc.

And all the non avi fukking losers act like they know everything, everyone else looks like chit, and then they won't ever post a picture. Ever.

So I think most brahs just don't even respond because 60% of the accounts just fan the flame of hating OP or making fun of lifting in some way, then people just bicker about it.
Truth. Sick of no avis talking chit about how other people look. They talk all this chit but won't back it up.

We gotta wake up, get lifting, mire ourselves, and remember why misc is better than those reddit *******s




I wasn't his biggest fan, but some of you may need to hear this

I' d actually argue that contributed to the decline of not only the misc, btu lifting culture in general.

People in their mid/late 20's and onward would remember a time a short decade ago where if you lifted it was because you were either an ex-athlete of some sort or an IFBB Pro.

Once Zyzz came it become sort of an overcompensation for incels to make up for their lack of social success in their earlier days. Once that trend began it started the decline of "fitness" as we know it.

That in addition to the rise of fitness instagram means we will never get back to the glory days of just regular gym bros because those are rapidly declining as is. Sucks, but it is what it is.

This is the worst. Some guys who may not be aesthetic yet but are putting genuine effort into lifting get flamed to no end by no avi *******s. If you won't post a pic of yourself then STFU. Same goes with guys talking chit about people's face pics. If you haven't shown yours then STFU. A bunch of so called "Chads" in here that are scared to post pics. I'd understand if this was the detective era when the misc had 100k lurkers but there are only about 1000 of us now and the detectives waste their time on more popular forums
