Zyzz was cool he looked like a Final Fantasy character, he got that Frank Zane body type too bad he did so much roids because back then people were retarded about cycles.

I'm convinced there's some weird spiritual shit going on with the world, so many people are demoralized and miserable with little hope.

Zyzz always said "we're all gonna make it" but things have become unpredictably bizarre since his time. Just compare him to this clavicular guy, insanity. Complete paradigm shift.

This is a fitness board, not a meme board.

>>77100826
It’s over mogged WAGMI

All memes are on Tiktok now like asu frat leader etc

I really don't think his wings should be black he wasn't a particularly vengeful guy.

>>77100820
Because you're all lame and hasbeens (actually neverbeens, you always live in the shadow of glorified bikini dancers like zyzz since your dad was never there for you as a role model)
The board is you, you contribute and make it what it is. Less whining, more work you little cunt

That's just 4chan in general. It's dying a slow death because zoomers are too retarded to use imageboards and they are afraid of them and rather use reddit and discord, so no new blood or creativity. You only have a bunch of washed out uncs left

A sudden increase in the rate of technological development means humans are increasingly maladapted to their environment and mutation rate itself starts getting positively selected. Most mutations will be regressive but nature only needs to produce one successful man for every ten+ failures. So your average person will get crazier and more obsessed with sex as nature accelerates evolution via hypergamy and courtship rituals.

I think this process continues until humanity becomes so destabilized that it can no longer sustain the current rate of technological development and nature finds a new point of equilibrium. That's my theory at least.

>>77101037
Yeah, it's all in the sticky that no one read then and still don't read now, so we end up recycling the same responses, which lead to the rise of the shittiest memes, which then lead to the rise of absolute retarded schizos ritual posting.

>>77100820
Too much in-flow of external media like twitter/reddit. Made the web as a whole more homogenous. They really should have outright banned it.

ngl I got into the gym in part because of zyzz memes and his streams, and it's great that he's still motivating people to change
But the older I get, the more I've gotta admit he's really not a good role model
Clubbing, partying, drugs, fucking random rave chicks might be the coolest shit ever when you're 16 but there's more to life bro
RIP Zyzz he died way too young

Big claim
I'm actually curious, can you name some things you have lived through?
Any advice for younger zoomers?

Anglos and their endless oldfag worship mental illness. Actually no other "culture" on earth such schisms of being rabidly angry at young people and glorifying old age other than americans and the anglosphere. At worst you can find disagreements and cultural shocks but that's it.

>>77102381
Don't think you understood the point I was making, it isn't that you CAN'T experience more shit than mosts boomers, etc. but most of your life experience is after everything began to fall a part. Old Millennials had formative years/early adulthood in the before times, the more innocent times with pre-social media, pre-dystopia, etc. We did didn't, be we remember far more than younger zoomers who only ever would have known a world dominated by smartphones and social media

4chan and /fit/ by extension is primarily an american website
America is undergoing some of the worst social strife and political polarization that it ever has. Red versus blue, black against white, rich against poor. Extreme manufactured division coupled with social isolationism from social media, working long hours for corporate overlords, and just plain old fashioned autism, has made lots of people on this board bitter and angry as their general baseline, lashing out and seeking conflict as their only meaningful source of human interaction.

>>77101037

old /fit/ had even less fitness discussion than now. it was just fun hangout with the boys. plenty of fucking around and greentexts

Because social media has completely killed forums and image boards, the only ones hanging on here are the ones too stubborn to die.

4chan was never profitable, but now add to the fact that it’s irrelevant, the only reason this money drain exists is because Hirohito keeps paying the bills as a form of charity. We’re on ancient and rickety software and in general one big hack away from the owner just giving it up.

Can’t say I’d blame anyone, honestly.

4chan has been systematically flooded with spam and bitterness and blackpilled shit.

If you don't understand that the glowies are willing to do shit like this, you didn't read the Epstein files close enough.

This place used to be actually fun.

>>77104479
Fucking weird how that happens. I was a little cunt misanthrope at 20 who wanted everyone and everything to die. Now I'm 37 and make friendly small talk with cashiers. I don't even know when the switch happened.

>>77112364
Same, just a few years younger though.

>>77112272

As an actual OG not larper (been here since 2017) I can assure you the board has always been pretty shit with small bursts of good

>>77100820
>We haven't had a good meme in like 3 years
That’s nonsense, this whole time we’ve had you, anon.

>>77114362
Agreed, the current (for years now) moderation of 4chan acts like Reddit. The job of jannies/mods was always to remove illegal content or bullshit, totally violating the rules. As a community, we were mostly self-regulating; if you did something wrong, we just called you a nigger-faggot and posted a mocking image macro.

It was never meant to be followed to the letter of the law, and that just makes this place stuffy and overly rigid. What happens when the Wild West of the internet is tamed? Then all the cowboys left end up LARPing. 4chan and especially /fit/ is dead, and it's just us oldfags that refuse to accept that it's over.

>>77102284
I made this pic about 10 years ago (added misc to the older version). Normies/commercialism are/is ruining fitness just like they/it ruin/s everything else

Niggas be like “yeah bro sites trash now, no good memes. It’s all the same. It’s overrr” yet stay here for 5 more years lmao

>>77100820
Most of fitness meme content is in video format or short gif with audio.

4chan is ancient tech that doesn't support either. Memes that are just images don't get that much traction in normie spaces anymore.

>>77103012
It was very obvious but to be online you usually used a computer instead of a phone. Phones were kinda shite even at internet until 4g became a thing and it became a lot faster. Most places didn't have wifi 10 years ago and the ones that did locked it behind passwords. 3g was very slow, although it was sufficient for 4ch and 8ch browsing.

>>77104479
I'm surprised that in business meetings that nowadays I'm the one with the most social tact and social skills. It's ridiculous. I'm not even that old (29).

>>77106236
You don't have
> vids with sound
> limited upload size
> no social identity attached to what you do
> no option for direct messaging as well

The last 2 are what people want. In the past people wanted anonymity to get away from the bullshite of real life. But modern people from zoomers to gen x are using the internet to import and mix their real life with the online in a weird and disturbing way.

>>77104337
There is not much anger on imageboards. People don't go here anymore or on pol to post angrily about the current state of affairs. It's mostly just laughing and apathy. Which honestly says a lot about the state of western nations, there isn't much to be hopeful about anymore it isn't worth to even get angry at.

>>77112272
Somewhere between 2014-2018. Scooby posted here, many early fitness youtubers that now get huge view numbers posted here and many actual competitive powerlifters were posting here. The alternative bodybuilding.com was 80 IQ and t-nation although smarter was full of 35yo+ boomers doing powerlifting meets in suits.

>>77116310
This sport burns out people hard. Most can't lift beyond 2-3 times per week for an hour. Lifting into advanced numbers will make sessions longer, workouts more frequently, volume typically higher. It increases fatigue, you need more time to prepare, you need time to shower, you spend more time sleeping. Most people in their late 20s with a job can't afford to have another part time job on top of it which is what exercising and lifting becomes in your late 20s and 30s.

I'm not sure about 40s and onward but I imagine the same. Some people experience more freedom here and work out more / heavier as they spend their 30s raising kids who were an energy drain preventing the gym.

>>77100826
It's because not all of you will make it and there's no we between you and I.

>>77112086

Look s max dot org
No one the shit he says is particularly new or even from this decade. 90% of the lingo comes from PSL aka Pua Hate Slut Hate and Look ism, 3 precursor sites from 2010s. Dot org is the latest website but even it goes back to 2018.

Looksmaxxing and blackpill first blew up in 2023 on tiktok so most younger zoomers and older gen alpha already knew about it but it's only late 2025 when normies (literal boomers like Piers Morgan saying "I mog you") finally caught up to something they has been growing and festering for more than a decade. All forums and small communities. Current looksmaxxing forums gained like 10k people in just a month with normies signing up.

Of course no one here knows about it because 4chan hasn't been relevant since 2016 and this place is in terminal velocity. When this place got hacked and went down it should've stayed dead because it is dead and slowly fading away.

>>77117496
btw there's like 110k people registered on the main site rn and if you include all the deleted profiles it's probably way higher

Forums can still definely thrive and exist but they need compelling reasons to.

nigga do you really think 4channelers don't know what the looksmax forums are? most of this board is blackpilled transplants that come from there to start arguments on /fit/ about why lifting is pointless because they secretly hope someone will defeat their doomer thoughts.

>>77117860
Not really. Until recently I've barely seen any PSL sites referenced. I've been here since 2011 trust me I know what this site has been like throughout the years. Been around PSL forums since 2017. R9K is probably the most blackpilled board on 4chan but even then they're not focused on improving their looks.
Gymmaxxing is an OK boost to SMV if you're already tall and decently good looking, but most people here think that being a mass monster will somehow them laid. Average poster here is one road cycle away from ageing 10 years and losing their hair if they're not bald already.

>>77117967
we must be reading different boards. Not a day goes by when I don't see some blackpilled looksmax guy trying to tell people that lifting is pointless because you were born with nasal cavities a micrometer too tall.
