Its a good way to get gamers into working out or make them interesting at least.

There are stories about people losing weight using VR but I was thinking about muscle training

Maybe weighted gloves, somehow sticking a dumbbell on each controller, or full body workout games. It was in Black Mirror and its already happening

Maybe. But it would require expensive equipment and a space where you can act like a mongoloid without attracting shame i.e. at home. I always liked the idea about a gym, where you can "train" your money back for example riding a bicycle with resistance to create energy, but that would be most ineffecient economically and physically but it appeals to my inner greed.

the issue with lifting is, that it requires all your focus and strength to complete a set if it is meant to boost your size and strength, hence minigames would just be a waste of time in the context of making gains. It could appeal to people who would otherwise perform no other activity at all, but mostly it would just be a gimmik that will be abused as soon as the game in the vr gets competetive, just like it did with these garbage wii games.

Also one should note that there are plenty of games you could play with a ball and other dedicated humans without a vr whatsoever while retaining your money in your pocket and making real life experiences but for autistic people that seems to be no option.

Instead of fighting sideeffects one should adress the root of the issue which is social anxiety and shame for their own body.

It would be great if there was an electrical or full body suit that you could do say everything you could with a barbell and shit with but you had VR goggles so it stimulated a full gym. Maybe the electrical impulses could provide some sort of resistance to grow the muscle. But maybe I'm out to lunch.

Looks flashy, dangerous and unnecessary. Like crossfit but for gamers. There might be some practical applications for it like for running on a treadmill to help break the monotony. AR would be more practical as far as weightlifting is concerned since you don't want any of latency that plague VR to screw up your lifts.

oh man that would be fucking badass if we had some futuristic VR fitness machine that would have a barbell and shit and it would actually push down on you with force so you could get a perfect workout, like it'd give just enough resistance for your rep range based on your previous lifts, and it'd be totally safe 'cause it could relieve the weight if you couldn't handle it. so no need for spotter on bench or anything

the FUTURE of /fit/

No. Electrical muscle stimulation IS a a real thing but it sure as hell won't make you feel like you're moving a barbell. Also the effects of EMS are pretty weak so at best it serves as a recovery or supplementary boost not for serious training.

If you did have such a magical suit that can do what you describe effectively then why bother moving at all, just lie in bed and let the suit make you swole.

Theres no need for VR to accomplish this all you need is a barbell attached via some sort of chain or rope to a powerful and precise motor. Then you have sensors that monitor your lifts and only activate the motor when you need it.

Emerging research is showing VR can cause DNA damage. Being engaged with real life surroundings increases sensory stimulations. Working out outdoors when possible is ideal…

Why not just join a fighting gym? Hell, any sport for that matter. You get exercise plus actually socialize with people. Come to think of it, what sports do the older people play anyway? I can't really think of anybody I know who does a sport past their early 20s.
