Trying to mentor a 24 year dude at the gym

My height (his saving grace 6’ 3” )
Pale
Gamer
Has like 6/10 face not bad but nothing close to Chad


I want him to succeed so he can enjoy his 20’s and meet sloots

Problem is he lifts like a pussy he’s never sweating and there is zero intensity. Skinny fat

Is he even worth trying to save?
I keep telling him to push harder and to stop doing an hour of cardio and to just fast and do 20 min of high intensity. And focus on heavy compound lifts

He never listens and does the same chit

If he doesn't want to put full effort in, don't bother.

When you're helping someone, if they won't listen you just have to let them do their own thing instead of wasting your energy on them.

That’s kinda how it is due to information pollution out there.

A million people have talked to me about lifting advice from seeing my results and lifestyle and a million people ignored that advice lol

That’s why the intense culture we had here like 10 years ago was so useful at convincing people because it was one large hive mind that all agreed on the same major principles

When people take advice they're usually just making conversation lol

Unless they came to you for advice and/or are paying you.

If they wanted to learn how to train correctly they would use Google. The information is literally all available for free and takes about 20 seconds to find.

The problem with people who don't push themselves in the gym has nothing to do with ignorance of proper training methodology.

I can't think of a bigger waste of time than worrying about what other people are doing at a gym, let alone trying to actively coach some random guy who most likely won't take it seriously anyway. Quit wasting your time and focus on yourself. Not worth the hassle beyond giving some brief advice here and there, and only if they ask you for it first.

Also, if you are going out of your way to give unsolicited advice in the gym, even if its "good" advice, you're not much different than random lanklet/skinny fat/fat guys who go around doing the same chit with bad advice. If you're doing it unprovoked, most people are going to think you're a douchebag for it. Rightfully so tbh, because going around giving out unsolicited gym advice is an inherently douchey behavior.

Mentoring another dude at the gym? WTF? Sounds gay.

You should be getting paid for giving him advice.

Seeing these kids is brutal. 20 year old "...man..." and basically a 50 year old woman.

There is a double mask kid that shows up from time to time and struggles to rep out 65 on the bench. He also 1/4 reps 95lb squats. He's not a beginner, that's just his limits.
Eat in a deficit to lose weight.
Hit your protein and fat minimums to stay healthy and keep your gainz.
Lift heavy and do HIIT to look and feel awesome.
Use the internet to learn why you should do these things and how to do these things.
