>>77307554 Health is just as important. Its your job as a parent not just to provide and die for your family, you have to LIVE for them. Living requires being the best version of yourself. More calm, more understanding, more disciplined. Imagine being this guy's wife and starting with left then ending with right. Just a matter of time before he gets divorce raped, and his kids taken away to only been seen during every other weekend under supervision. Lost it all because he wanted taco bell and donuts. Pathetic
just cuz you have a kid doesn't mean you should just give up. this dude had no balance in his life prior to kids and everything collapses once other things get prioritized.
you don't have to be a fat pos just cuz you have a kids. look at eurofags and asians
>>77307569 Lack of sleep and increased stress ramps up cortisol, disrupting collagen production. That in conjunction with getting fat as shit causes the stretch marks
>>77307554 >Hasn't been fit since the advent of color photography >Mogged by his past self >Doesn't want to be a good role model >Chiseled Out of Marble VS Ball of Uncooked Dough I don't have the vocabulary to describe this feel.
To be sure, it is harder to stay fit after kids. It requires commitment from both parents to make the time for exercise. That said, it is your duty as a parent to not be fat and not raise fats. That’s why this guys gyno build is shameful.
>>77307627 (continued..) I'm projecting as hard as I can right now. I've never looked that good and probably never will. I'm also being mogged by previous versions of myself. There's only so much abuse a body can take before it's stuck in a damaged and unaesthetic state. Worse, he still managed to procreate and here I am alone crying over pictures of myself in my photo album.
This post was brought to you by a large bowl of pasta drenched in oil with a large side of fresh-baked foccia bread.
It’s literally impossible to stay fit past 25 with kids, a wife and a job Half the people here will whine and claim I’m making excuses but that’s because majority is this board are neets and childless
Only my dads and tradies will understand >t. Fit all up until 26 when I had my first kid and got fat, never really lost it
>>77307654 Kids come first, and kids are demanding.
You can work a job, and be an attentive husband and father, or you can spend hours in the gym neglecting those you are supposed to love.
Just goes to show the average age of the "men" here. Also notice how unhappy he is, lonely and gymmaxxing, and how happy he is holding his child whilst his wife takes a picture that will last a lifetime
>>77307647 All this gym bullshit, its good aged 18-25. After that its pure fucking cope.
Im not saying you intentionally become im a slob, im saying there are 24 hours in a day and you have to prioritise things. If you want a family, they'll need time and energy from you, time and energy you would otherwise give to the gym.
Its better to come home to a house full of love than waiting for death, alone
>>77307554 > I am a hero for looking after a child > I am so narcissistic that I need to make spawns of myself to feel fulfilled Can't wait till AI makes this species go extinct
>>77307654 I am being a lazy POS right now and lifting bare minimum, 1-2x/wk and just eating whatever for diet, and find it very easy to maintain my level of fitness doing that.
>>77307693 >>77307697 This is presuming that lifting is only for vanity and that you must train 6 days a week like some retard
I have kids and I hate it. I only stay because I'd feel bad if I left them. I also want to have sex with other women even though my wife let's me have sex whenever I want. Is there something wrong with me?
>>77307697 My dad is still going to the gym and still went while raising my brother's and I he's 60 now still fit >>77307654 My dad worked construction and still works construction and still went to the gym everyday to this day. He makes myself and my brother's look like bitches
>>77307654 You can look better than 90% of people just doing a 20-30 minute routine with pull ups, push ups and a 30lb dumb bell to do squats and curls. If you want to go crazy a 15 minute run
>>77307739 You can play with your kids in the park... you can also take your kids to a rec center and work out while they do sports or other activities.... Home gym is also a thing... Bruh
>>77307654 It’s not impossible you just cant go to the gym. You can still be mindful of what you eat to stay lean and do at home stuff. This is assuming you were fit to begin with (you obviously arent from your gay doomposting)
>>77307812 why do mothers try to frame eating themselves fat and getting too out of shape to actually keep up with their kids as "putting the kids first"? if you have time for being online doing unnecessary shopping or tiktok or whatever, you have time to take care of your health. do it for your children, you owe it to them
>>77307843 But it's hard, I just want to feed the kids nuggies and poptarts because I "had a hard day" literally every day. And I can't give up my hobbies and time to de-stress, self care is important (fuck you fitness does not count).
>>77307739 You guys have such a gay misconception of the gym. Lifting is as much about health and quality of life as it is appearance. You deadlift so you have a strong back and can pick up your kids and stuff.
>>77308006 My thoughts exactly. How are you going to play tag or sports with your kids if you're out of shape. Half the reason I got into fitness is so that when I do have kids I'll be able to lift them and play with them without injuring myself.
What a bunch of garbage. I've finally started exercising again (had stopped for about 5 years) after having a kid, because I want to be someone he looks up to, to instill healthy habits in him, and to be able to do things with him without being hindered by my body.
I cannot comprehend this "now i can get fat" mentality, much less when one has kids.
>>77307654 Getting married and having kids massively lowers testosterone levels in men. This changes the body composition into a classic dadbod configuration, of reduced muscle mass and concomitant increase in adipose tissue.
"Having kids is hard" is a pretty pathetic excuse for being out of shape when weight loss/gain is 90% dependant on your diet. Stop eating like a cow and you'll be fine.
Most of the weak dad bods you see in the suburbs were former chads/slayers back in the day. They had to be to get an attractive woman to settle down with. That's why it's so depressing when I see a guy under 25 that's bald or super overweight since that basically means he is doomed to a life of inceldom.
I want to point out that I looked after both of them for the absolute vast majority of their first 24 months, the mother was studying.
1 week before my first born i did my best squat ever: 3x5x195Kg. After that it was just impossible to keep up the intensity. Since than i have become a better cyclist.
A child will virtually suck 100% of ALL your time and ALL your physical resources. Nothing in life will prepare you for that. Not even if you are an uncle. Your children are NOT somebody else's children.
You can decide to succumb or live through those months. If you survive the first 24 months, it's done.
they will look at you, both males and females. So, don't be a fucking slob or they will became a failure.
>>77307654 I literally only do gym and chores/work. Literally nothing else. I get 6 hours a week for gym. My wife gets 6 hours a week for her own stuff.
>>77307757 >Is there something wrong with me? Not really. We all cope in some way or another, like telling ourselves it's "the right thing to do" or "duty". I just stopped thinking about it and do the needful. >>77307818 I'm convinced ideal modern breeding strategies for white / blue eyed is 1. World-wide Sperm donor 2. Niggermaxxing
>>77307554 >stop hitting the gym >now you get your workout playing with your kids and carrying them around >stay lean but not as ripped just stop eating so much junk food bro
>>77310660 God this before they'd sleep for 16 hours a day and I could get some reps in but now they're awake while I'm awake and I can't keep my eyes off them or else they'll find someway to kill themselves
>>77311847 >it's so damn easy to eat well over 4000 calories a day No it's not what tf do you eat? When you go to the grocery store you clearly know what you're buying.
>>77312800 Jew golem detected >thats right white boy, having kids and perpetuating your bloodline is brown behavior, be replaced and do nothing about it goy >also theyre annoying and expensive, think of how many more funkos you could buy instead!
All these fatties making excuses ITT... Having a child can make you sleep-deprived bit it doesn't make you eat more, that's on you. If you don't take every opportunity to be active that's on you. When I cradle my 10-months old I'm basically having a HIIT sesh doing calf raises and low squats and working abs leaning back and forth. Carrying 20lbs for hours on end will maintain your biceps and pecs, don't use a stroller unless you have to. I work manual labor and seriously do not understand how people in my field get fat. Ok, I might be a genetic outlier and I'm a smoker, but I value my fitness and well-being above my fatigue, if I'm doing something I'm doing it with mindfulness, like yoga bitches talk about, no lazy motions, full ROM if possible, it's also a good way to avoid injuries and MSDs. If you say you can't make time for a 30 minute run or calisthenics session you're lying and/or lazy, just stop watching your screen for half an hour while the kid sleeps. If you work more than 50 hours a week, that's your choice, you'll see less of your child and you'll have less time to be a balanced, developed adult who can be an example for his kids. Stop eating so god damn much and stop making excuses. I know plenty of fathers who still have time to do sports several times a week. How can you love and support your family if you don't love yourself and take time for yourself ?
I have two kids, aged 3.5 and two months, and have stayed as consistent with fitness as before they were born. The reason is simple: I set the example of how one should live their life and I want them to see that fit people are more respectable than fatties
>>77307757 I love how lame and gay this world is, men like you get blessed with a wife and kids that actually love them while men who are kind and always do the right thing die alone.
>>77307554 He's a weak cunt who only ever lifted for superficial reasons and gave up as soon as he had an excuse. Guarantee that guy is a shit dad and is going to raise a pussy.
>>77307554 Having kids is an unbearable hell if ur not built for it I'm glad I realized this early I'd rather kill myself I'd rather get ass raped every day for an hour if it meant the other hours of my day was kid free it's unbelivable how much I despise parenthood
>>77313786 >unbelivable how much I despise parenthood I thought the same way till it happened. I sure there is some neurological chemistry to it but, now every time I think of when I sounded like you and almost cringe to death.
>>77312819 Yeah ur family name is going to be revered across time as the greatest middle class wagies of all time u fucking retard god I hate kids so much
>>77313833 >I hate kids Why don't you kill yourself? Serious question, that I ask all anti-natalists. If you don't think life is worth perpetuating, why don't you kill yourself?
>>77307654 >I had my first kid and got fat Giga-cope. It's understandable your wife got fat while pregnant, carrying a baby from conception to birth and eating for two while her body underwent all kinds of changes. Now what's YOUR excuse, fat ass?
>>77311421 HAHA YES BILL,, VERY TRUE. SAY HI TO MARG FOR ME,,,, LOL

>>77313817 I'm glad I'm not a pussy fag like you, to each their own. I'm raising my future gym buddy, shit is gonna be epic. >>77315334 Same, it's the most retarded cope in existence. They're all insufferable jackasses that obviously hate themselves.
>>77316613 If I do anything that is considered a waste of time, like playing video games or working out, I'll do it while watching a show or whatever. Almost everyone seems to have headphones or earbuds when they do anything. They can't claim they'll be distracted and miss an important part of a show or movie because they're exercising.
>>77307654 >Doesn't take his kid to the gym after work >Doesn't try to set any sort of example for his kids >"Oh I was fit until such and such age bro" You're so bitchmade, Im 33, work 50 hour work weeks, have two kids, and I still find at least five hours a week for the gym. Don't worry buddy you were never fit lmao, enjoy mediocrity and your obese children.
>>77307654 are you genuinely retarded? Talk to dudes in the gym half of them are dads and jacked. Fuck you don't even need gym not be fat just eat good do air squats after meal some pushups.
>>77317650 Was probably busy, sport. I can't believe you kids haven't learned by now that the dumb shit you say lives on the internet forever, to be judged at any time in the future. It's still foolish 3 days later.
>>77308551 I've personally know 5 different men who's mother abandoned them either at birth or as soon as they hit 18. If it wasn't for child support, food stamps/WIC and other hand out bullshit for mothers, you would be seeing alot more babies in dumbsters/infront of firehouses.
Lot of people ITT who have no clue what they're talking about. You think you're going to be getting anything close to 8 hours of sleep per night in the first 18 months of a kid's life? Not even close. You have the regular stress of adulthood x10 plus no sleep for a prolonged period. And guess what? the whole idea that women are natural caregivers is a fiction. You're going to be stepping up to the plate like you never thought possible while also dealing with your woman's post-partum insanity. That's just one kid though. If you have multiple, the cycle starts all over.
Having kids ages you. You are not smarter than this guy. You aren't more disciplined. You aren't the exception. Your grandpappy could stay lean and strong because he was a selfish asshole who took no part in parenting until the hard part was out of the way.
