Venting I really hate going to the gym.

[twojei]

I mean, it is nice to 'destress' my body from all the anxiety, but I really hate working out, it is just too painful sometimes for me, specially when training legs. I wish I could invest that time in something better, but keep a stable level of muscle mass. I wouldn't mind so much about being skinny, but I have a giga big square head and the typical skinny guy frame, so I end up looking ridiculous if I don't work out JFL.

Gymming is another product of modern unnatural society, so it's understandable why you hate it so much. The hunter-gatherer lifestyle was best optimised for our male physicality, humans are weaker now due to the conveniences of the modern world. I think you could try replacing it with another physical activity that is more natural to our bodily movement and biology.

I agree, it is literally torture.

What are examples of this? I dislike going to the gym too, but it’s a good way for me to get out of the house and also helps me cope. If there was something more beneficial and natural I’d do it.

I see calisthenics gets recommended a lot. Maybe a sport like wrestling.

Many ancient civilizations had some form of the gym, the ancient greeks would lift weights known as halteres which are similar to modern-day dumbbells, roman soldiers also had to carry heavy objects during marching and had to perform exercises designed to improve their physical endurance and strength.

Sometimes I feel like this after a long vacation when I haven't lifted for a while. You acclimate to it & eventually classically condition yourself to enjoy the feeling of muscle failure.

If you can't achieve this it's a bad sign. Perseverance and achievement in gym will correlate with perseverance and achievement in other areas of life.

Anecdotally in uni it's the jacked guys you really want in a group project or lab they have their shit dialed in. The skinny-ugly nerds will get worse grades & more likely to have a weed problem.
