I’m gonna say it because apparently nobody here wants to:

gymmaxxing is massively overrated.

Not “slightly overrated”. I mean it’s probably one of the biggest cope mechanisms in the entire looksmaxxing community.

You have a 5/10 dude with a mediocre face and the solution is always:

“hit the gym bro”
“build your neck”
“get bigger delts”
“get to 10% BF”

As if adding 15kg of muscle is going to install a new maxilla.

Your clavicles aren’t going to fix your eye area.
Your traps aren’t going to give you better zygos.
A 140kg bench isn’t going to give you forward growth.
IMG 8777



At some point you have to admit that your face is your face.

Obviously physique matters. I’m not denying that.

A good physique can make you look more masculine, improve your silhouette, make clothes sit better and give you a huge halo effect.

But that’s exactly the point.

People keep calling that facial ascension when it’s actually just overall attractiveness increasing.

A guy can go from looking like a skinny NPC to looking like a masculine dude with a great physique and suddenly everyone says his face “improved”.
No.

And the leanmaxxing obsession is even worse.
Getting rid of excess facial fat? Huge W.


Going from 18–20% to a genuinely lean condition can reveal your jaw and cheekbones.

But some of you are acting like every male face gets exponentially better the lower your BF goes.
At a certain point you aren’t uncovering your bone structure anymore.
You’re just making yourself look fucking gaunt.

And the funniest cope is still:

“Bro just give it time, once you build your frame you’ll ascend.”
No you wont nga.

You just have an average face and an above-average physique.
Not every guy is secretly a future Chad who’s being suppressed by lack of muscle.


If gymmaxxing could genuinely compensate for mediocre craniofacial genetics to the extent people claim, every bodybuilder would be a PSL god

You can find skinny dudes with insane faces who would mog them in a facial comparison without even trying.


That’s why I think gymmaxxing is better described as halo-maxxing.
It makes the person more attractive as a whole.

Cope harder if you disagree.

Would you agree, that the gym basically gets all ltn's started, into caring more about looks?
 
most people don't train for battle, they train for aesthetics reason which is extremely gay

Hitting the gym is a good looksmaxx but not everything. Going to the gym training neck will give you more dimo, getting that v shaper will give you more sex appeal, bigger arms will make you fill out these sleeves. losing weight and being lower bf makes your cheekbones more visible and loses you face fat. Gym goes hand in hand with looksmaxxing but u shouldnt just rely on being a gymbro as a sole way of ascending.

lean is infact not law for everybody. some people look worse when they are lean, because for example someones hooding may start to dissapear and get a lot of uee, which is a huge descension. this happened to me when i was leanmaxxing and even doe my jawline and cheeks were much better i still looked overall worse, because of the uee

exactly, when i was very lean my subhuman eye area got revealed. My eye area is the best part of my face on avarage bf, but when i got very lean once, my hooding fucked off and got a shit ton of uee and it just looked like i have big prey eyes.

negative orbital vector is also a factor that makes ur eye area worse when you re leaned out

Naturally you can size up your bidelt width about an inch, for some it may not be worth it, for others it can be a game changer

Gymcelling can reverse shit posture as well (APT) via training glutes, hamstring and core, this can be a huge Looksmax, again, depending on the individual

Neck is a facial harmony ratio
SCM Hypertrophy ≠ More attractive neck

What actually makes a neck aesthetic is when the mastoid bone is well developed, it connects your scm to the base of your skull, if you have an underdeveloped one the center of your neck will end up "flaring" out due to hypertrophy

The idea is having your neck function and look as a straight pillar, can't replicate it with exercise because the problem always comes from here 😢

measures 5'10 barefoot. add 2 inch lifts, means 6 feet without shoes. and then the shoe itself adds another 1.5 inches

Posture isnt a halo its a requirement

I don't think that anyone here disagrees that having a good physique doesnt result in a higher face rating though, don't really see the point of this thread (unless some newgens actually argued so)

the compression of the 2inch insoles themselves would make u only an inch taller and the shoes compression would probably increase ur height by 0.75inch

1.75inch fraud isnt bad but js saying never measure the insoles, measure ur height after wearing everything:feelsokman:

being gymcel is acc descension most of times because people fall into propaganda of bulking and "mass moves mass bro", "be big bro!", "dad bod bro!"

it just rapes your dimo and ang by making you fat, most of gymcels are 15% or even 20%+ bodyFAT.

training(atlaest at home with pull up bar for 10$ usd jfl and 50$ usd dumbells JFL) is required though to not look absolute twink when you lean out into your 10% bodyfat peak body.
 
For alot of girls it will increase ur appeal MASSIVELY. For some girls they dont care 1 bit.

why would ANY and i mean ANY woman go for u if there is another person 4 ppl away who is supperior to u? thats manletism
