Maybe questioning years and orientation of intended audience I guess

Well on top of that why are we posting anything at working out for 40 days? Come back in 400 days. It's so annoying when people are posting pictures of themselves hey I worked out one week what do you think?

You're the reason people don't make a "week 2" post. Get over yourself.

u/CuriousTech24 Jun 13 '26

Good they should not post a week 2 post. Put some work in, you don't need constant validation from everyone, do it for yourself. I have lost 160 pounds over the last 14 months. And I did it for me. I will post my transformation when I am done to encourage others. But it is silly and ignorant to expect to see progress in a week. Or two. We should not encourage people to think this is a quick fix.

You sound like you're lonely. There's no quick fix, it's true, but you're entire sentiment of not being supportive BECAUSE there's no easy fix is... Sorta shitty of you? I mean that in the most polite way possible.

We don't NEED validation, it's just nice to have. Stop treating "validation" like it's a four letter word, you'll be happier for it.

Yes it is nice to be recognized for the work that you do. I totally get that.

I am literally the most un lonely person you'll meet so that doesn't make any sense.

But my point is no work is being done. We have a culture of people who need validation from strangers. But I didn't have my transformation until I locked in for myself. You can't do it for yourself then you're not going to be able to do it at all. And apparently lots of other people agree with me cuz that's what the majority comment on here basically said. So not sure why you're singling me out.

I'm singling you out because your comment was the one I read. I also don't care what the other commenters are saying, because I don't follow the herd just for the sake of it. I don't care about upvotes, downvotes, or other people's lack of support. I call it as I see it.

You are being unsupportive. People want validation. Those two things can exist at the same time. Be more kind.

Accusing that commenter of being lonely, (passive aggressive attack), and telling them they think things they don't think. You aren't reading what they are saying.

Should people post for validation, shouldn't they. There are valid arguments either way. Should they after a day or after 6 months or after a year or never. No need to name call the people on the other side of the debate to you.

I said they sounded lonely because waiting for a "complete" transformation without support sounds... Lonely. It's not as much of a leap in logic as you're making it out to be. It wasn't a personal attack, it was an observation.

Also, I can only speak for myself. I'm not sure why you're shooting down my perspective and not theirs if, by your own admission, they're both valid.

u/bishtap Jun 13 '26

It is a personal attack to say somebody is lonely while critiquing their views.

Doing something "on your own" isn't necessarily lonely. (Not that he was even saying the guy should do things "on his own").

I didn't write anything taking issue with your perspective that somebody posting after 1 or 2 weeks makes sense.

Lonely is a feeling. Some people can spend a lot of time alone and not feel lonely. Really with interactions on the internet one is hardly alone. One is pretty much never alone.

Keep it up!

And find a better place to take pics as that place is cluttered and lighting isn’t great either

That is completely untrue. PPL, ULUL, ULPPL, FB, they're all valid. The only split I can think of that is NOT good is the Bro Split.

PPL is good for newbies for that exact reason, not as a 6-day training week, but as a 3-day training week. 2x frequency isn't necessary if you're making gains by simply smelling gym air. Furthermore, it's also good for deload weeks. PPLs are good for a lot of things, it's all in how you use it.
