Same as everyone else, to increase my sex appeal.
So I can love my body (currently hate it).
Also I enjoy the aspect of "leveling up" my physique and health
>Also I enjoy the aspect of "leveling up" my physique and health
please be b8
I genuinely mean it
Kys homosexual
Based motivation anon, keep at it WAGMI
anti-Semitism mostly. there are swole israelites out there and I NEED to be bigger than at least a supermajority of them
I want to bang hot fit thicc zoomer chicks who grew up trained by porn. Also look good and feel good!
we are made in the image of God, and must hold ourselves as close to His standard as our rebellious nature allows. i want for my body to be a temple, an organic expression of the divine.
in writing this, i realize it's in no small part due to pride, which i must quell. despite the vanity inherent to the deed, lifting has been indisputably therapeutic for my mind, body and soul.
when i am on schedule, i feel i am following the right path.
Well said, brother. Give unto God what he is due.
Okay but what's up with that "it profiteth little to exercise the body" verse
Frankly it smells like bullshit to me
its emphasizing the importance of prioritizing spiritual training -- study, understanding and acceptance of the scripture -- by comparing it to physical training, acknowledging that although there is benefit to being fit, there's far greater benefit to following the word of god
originally it was because i was an incel who wanted to looksmax to get a gf
now i have a gf and i just want to be proud of my body in general, and be stronger than before- i want to look back at myself in a year and be able to say i'm a better version of myself than before
The best picture of the human soul is the human body.
I haven't lifted in a year.
The first sentence is the best answer. The second is all too common.
Father I'm trying my best to hang in there. I'll set foot in a gym again soon. I haven't given up just yet.
>I haven't lifted in a year.
Shit and I thought I was bad for skipping two weeks
I started lifting the year before that, went solid for a good 6 months, then batflu closed gyms until summer, then I went for like a month sorta half-assed and then moved away for university. I know I gotta get back into it. I'm coping and being a b***h. I hate eating too honestly. Frick man, being skinny is just so easy bros...
I have to be strong for the dark future that is closing in on us every day.
just want to look in the mirror and get that feeling when everything is sorted. and I'm getting there week by week
vanity and insecurity
So I can play with a katana while fliping around like a weeb and no one can say I'm cringe.
Black person
Get laid.
Also the long term health benefits of strength training.
Also it would be dope to look in the mirror and not see skinnyfat.
Also I like to mountain bike and ski and strength training will help me with those activities.
Huh I guess there are more reasons than I thought.
To be able to physically overpower most people both armed and unarmed
You do not need muscles with a silver tongue anon
Muscles
It's the only way I might be able to get people to overlook my physical flaws and for women to want to love me.
I exercise and diet because I felt like garbage when I was obese. I remember one day I had trouble getting up out of the car. I couldn't believe it. I remember an acquaintance joking that I looked like Jason Alexander. The worst part was that they were right. I looked exactly like him. I even dressed like him. I'm still depressed, but physically I feel better than ever, and even though I struggle with anhedonia I do derive some measure of self-satisfaction from controlling my weight and being able to fit in the same leather belt I wore decades ago in college. It's probably the only thing I can control.
I felt like garbage when I was approaching 220lbs, smoking and drinking. Feeling like I was on death's doorstop at the ripe age of 30 was my motivation to turn things around. Now I'm in better shape than I was in high school.
It's a nice feeling. It's the thing I've most been grateful for recently. The scale is now my friend.
I want to achieve something in my miserable life
Been fat lal my life, lost 70 pounds in 2 years but still flabby. I wanna see myself looking physically fit for once and stick with it.
To prove that I can. Always dreamed of being a strong hero when I was a fat, weak little kid. I still dream of that, still see that kid in myself. No matter what, I can't afford to let that kid down any longer.
Because I'm balding. A skinny guy who is balding looks like he has cancer. I don't want to look like I have cancer.
I go insane in about 3 days if I stop exercising.
Can always tell it's an Asian by that little line under their belly button.
get off the internet incels
That line is hormonal and shows up during pregnancy, my friend
On white women yes. It's permanent on Asians.
and you can tell she's filipino by the proportions.
>fat
>no breasts
Asian women are cursed
I'm married so getting laid isn't really an issue for me. Really just want to improve my sex life. Also just want to feel better about myself in general.
I'm tired of being a skinny manlet
I don't lift, I do cardio. I do it to lose weight and be healthier. I'm on medication for hypertension and high cholesterol, which I always assumed were just due to muh genetics despite being overweight my entire life. But now that I've lost 40 pounds I've already been able to drop the dosages, so I want to find out just how much actually is genetic vs lifestyle and see if it's possible to eventually no longer need meds.
Noble cause there bro, my guess is more the lifestyle, so you may not need the meds
I need to abolish 30kg+ wish me luck anon
.t obese ever since the lockdowns
>.t obese ever since the lockdowns
You aren't the only one there. good luck on your weight loss. Just stick with it and you'll surely succeed.
my martial arts teacher died and I feel like I'm obligated to keep up what I was taught and my physical condition until I can pass it on onto someone else. At what point, I can die.
because my personality is so fricking terrible that the only way I can get laid is to be hot enough that girls don't care that I'm socially and emotionally moronic
same
You can train your body you can train your personality
>train your personality
How? I want to not be a neurotic mess that gets shaky hands just from talking to a woman.
I could but I'm a schizoid so any personality that other people would find likeable would be fake and I'd feel dishonest pretending to care about them
you can't outlift autism
Literally same for me. I’m a total sperg but hey, nice mussles am I right ..
To mog my gym rival.
to look good to others
to stop having tension headaches
to prevent diabetus and cancer
I just love being big and strong
I work at an old folks home in their PT department and I get old people mires all day long
People are easier to manipulate when you're hot.
It hit me like a wall the first time I realized this. It was like "man, the women have their tig bitties that help them get what they want and we got our mussles"
I want to be a strong father figure for my son,so he can learn discipline and effort in some future.I also enjoy being slightly muscular as an ex skeleton
because I get off on rejecting women
1. It is a man's duty to be his best and be strong enough to defend himself and his own
2. It's good for you
3. I must be ready for the coming Day of the Rope
I went to the gym because I wanted to improve myself. I've never been especially healthy and was always kindof ashamed of how I looked naked, have had a gross skinnyfat body since I was 12.
I recently turned 25 and once my hair started to thin out I had the realization this is the last time I can ever say I'm still "young". If I don't get fit now I'll never enjoy being a healthy young man for the rest of my life.
I've been going for about four months now and feel awesome. I finally hit my biggest and first fitness goal, I wanted to bench the biggest weights on the weight rack and did it. I earned it, no protein powder, pre workout or steroids just dedication. This wasn't about women, recognition or "gainz" this is about what I could personally accomplish.
Now I'm going to reward myself with my best Loona (Helluva boss) and Midna (Legend of Zelda) pornography.
Same. I knew I would kick myself in the ass when I'm old if I didn't experience being in shape while I still can.
I was following until
>no protein powder
Protein powder isnt some bullshit marketing scam, you realize this right?
I'd rather just eat a lot of meat and cut out "vegetable" oils from my diet.
Plus protein powder grosses me out
Pure, unadulterated hate for the israelite and all his works
I'm disgusted by weakness
I am currently known as the guy that lifts and I don't want to be known as the guy that gave up.
So I can walk up the stairs and not be out of breath after the first level while I live on the fourth.
It makes me feel better. Looking better is just icing on the cake.
And instead of wasting time on IST for several hours evey morning I go to the gym right away and get a good start to the day.
Just in case
I have a few reasons
Father and uncle passed from poor health I don't want to follow
There's a girl I think I've fallen for and I want to stop being fat so I can attempt to shoot my shot
It's surprisingly fun
I want to change. This is the big one. I'm just tired of being a fat frick.
Don’t give a frick about anything (in a positive way) and might as well lift to keep me occupied
To get strong and a huge butt
Just want to be fit and healthy for if I ever have a kid. If I don't have one then I'll at least not feel like shit
it's like grinding a game but u grind urself + get big and srtonkc
I make autistic fetish porn and mostly think it’s hilarious what the reaction will be when I post selfies after my cut
Im so scared of people I can barely talk to them without shitting my pants. Its not even about women (I completely given up on women), just people in general, including my family.
I make up for it by obsessive lifting, reading, playing instruments, praying and other self improvement activities. Improvement is the only thing that gives me any value as a person.
I wanted to improve socially as well but people are so scary I cant start, besides I have already deluded myself into thinking I don't need any social approval.
Also lifting is fun, especially with music in the background.
What are you afraid they're going to find out about you?
That I am very sensitive and emotional man. Once they find out they will be disgusted with me or take advantage of that.
Start out small by making some small comments to cashiers and build your way up. Eventually you'll feel comfortable opening up to someone about how you feel.
>I make up for it by obsessive lifting, reading, playing instruments, praying and other self improvement activities. Improvement is the only thing that gives me any value as a person.
nothing you posted will solve your core problem though, so how is it "improvement"
when you're scared of people, you're kind of just making up a fake dilemma in your head. like, intuitively, you HAVE to know that people are just people, they're just like you no matter how autistic you are.
Straight-up sexual ability, to increase T and feel strong in the bedroom. Had ED when i was getting frisky with a 9/10 great personality a while back, i also had a porn addiction then but still, was terrifying to me that my body was declining in its ability when i needed it to work the most.
Have you overcome the ED and porn addiction? I worry that once you've got it, it's there for good. My confidence is so low and anxiety is so high that I know I will have an issue if I ever get close to a woman again. Been thinking about getting some pills just to be sure.
Porn addiction yes, something about the situation just flipped a switch in my head realising that beating my meat daily (or several times daily) just wasnt worth sabotaging a good sex life, i was also at the stage where my usual go to porn videos werent doing it for me anymore so that helped to. For ED yes, but it took months to get fully back up to speed. Pretty much had a dead rat in my pants for a few weeks, even on total no-fap, then for a few weeks after that i’d take a few minutes to really get going before i could commit to penetration. At this point I pretty much only wank maybe once a week, maybe two.
I saw this internet guy called Zyzz 5 years ago or something, found out he was dead, watched some more. After a few days I thought "Whatever it is, I want it" so I decided that day I will get as close to his look and mindset and have been going ever since with "breaks" no longer than a week.
I didn't realize everything that comes with lifting as a bonus (confidence, health, girls etc) but I don't see myself stopping. I still look up his vids and shit before I go to the gym.
Thanks for everything you put me trough Zyzz
Pain management for my migraines
I like looking and feeling good
It’s helped me meet a lot of new people
Also I gotta get big in time for my genetically engineered furgf
Smearing dirt wizards and playing IED hopscotch made me crazy, so now I feel compelled to maintain a high degree of combat fitness in case shit ever kicks off again.
Secondary: I want to able to attract and smash puss up until my dying day.
because I have always hated myself, I am insecure and being visibly stronger than the people around me is the only thing that helps my dysmorphia
I have the same issue. What happened to us growing up to cause that? I have obese friends that live in filth that have a better self image than me.
Bro same
So my children have a strong father and my wife a strong husband.
Because I am a loser and it’s the only thing that makes me feel better about myself. I’m not even good at it
my body is the only thing i have control over
Don't know if it's correct to call it primordial rage or ancestral rage, but for me it's rage. I don't show how much I'm angry, but I wake up every morning full of anger and I have to cope somehow, that's why I lift, the anger fades a little when I'm too tired to be angry. It's like doing no FAP, but instead of fapping i have to stop from stabbing the ones around me with a knife
To feel better about myself, to stay fit and resilient.
Lol no...for pussy of course. It's a display of sexual fitness.
I wanted to be a dad in shape for my kids. Now I don't have a wife anymore and I probably won't have kids so I lift to fill the void. Also helps a bit with my negative self esteem but I'm only a dyel so it doesn't do much.
Is there a way to have kids and skip the wife part? I want to be a dad but I want to actually see my children and not pay child support and alimony.
If you were a woman sure no problem, but as a man no.
You mindset and worldview translate in to your actions. When you think all women are like this, this is what people pick up, regardless of how subtle you think you are. You attract shit tier women, because you are a shit tier man. Cultivate beauty and morality and you will attract such.
But remember, you can not make a prostitute a housewife
Makes sense because the only attention I get from women are cheating housewives.
How do I stop being so bitter about women. Seeing my parents get divorced and having my dad tell me not to associate with women because they're all prostitutes fricked me up. Even when I do try I end up friendzoning myself every single time. Which is why I'm getting fit because "being myself" is not working.
lift big rock make sad head voice go away
So I can look good, admired by men and desired by women. So I can feel good and capable of doing physical activities. But MOST of all, to be as fit as possible in my 70s and 80s and be able to take care of myself, instead of being a frail, decrepid, husk of a human being.
Stretch, train, eat clean, work - so far that's the scheme
>not killing yourself at 60
ngmi
I thought to myself one time, "What's stopping someone from just beating the absolute dogshit out of me and stealing everything on me in public? (wallet, phone, car keys)" So I started exercising and boxing. Also I'm a moronicly horny 21 year old and need an outlet for my T.
I workout because I want to be able to more completely dominate any woman I want. Also, it just feels good.
I lift for Japanese girls with big ears
i NEED to frick milfs bros PLEASE. any help is appreciated, i just want them in the 30-40 age group, i am 22 myself but how the frick do i meet or approach them. ultimately it’s the reason why i lift
Getting Milfs as a young man is probably the easiest pussy out there, me and my younger brothers (18 and 20) get hit on by older women all the time to the point we have to turn THEM down a lot
The big keys are
>be "cute" but not femboy/twink, it combines the emotional dynamic of wanting to raise children with the sexual dynamic of being young and virile. Grow your hair out and wear slim fitting, dressy clothing. If you're balding you're fricked
>make them feel younger than they are, offer to take them to something younger people would do like Ice cream or clothes shopping. ABSOLUTELY hold her hand and be what they call a gentleman
>don't smother her with attention either like what a young woman likes. Older women love romance novels and dramas where the man can be distant, or not seen for days at a time. Make it feel like an affair (which it is) for the thrill factor
>offer to do some kind of physical chore for her, like mow the lawn or trim branches. Yes it sucks but if you get sweaty and nasty and she offers to let you use her shower, you're good as gold. Just a "worker" doesn't get treatment beyond a cold drink. DO NOT ASK. If offered to sit inside but not offered a shower, refuse and say "It would be impolite to get your house dirty, as you can see I'm covered in filth"
>bullshit about how nice her big dumb earrings are. I don't know why older women like those stupid things so much but they love it so be creative
>mention some kind of "older" interest to seem mature for your age, like fishing or coin collecting
>confidence above all else, someone that stutters or fidgets in the uncute way is an instant turn-off
>If you're balding you're fricked
This is not true
my homie i don’t want to date them just as a FWB ting
that’s good to know, i once had an opportunity but i was too much of a pussy, she was thirsty at too. i
Oh well in that case go to a boomer media site like Facebook and chat them up or get friendly with older women at the grocery store
Just remember every milf still has the mind of a 20 year old. Getting older and having kids doesn't make them any more mature or wise but it does make them more attention starved.
Treat them like you would any other girl your age and they'll be putty in your hands
What did your mother do to you to make you feel that way about older women?
because i hate israelites
I dont want to be that scared skinny boy anymore
I lift to be fighting fit
So I can feel better about myself and so I don't have to rely on others to do tasks.
I want stronger
For my future wife. I never show off my body in public.
I lift for the ones who wish they could be doing the same. Take good care of your body. It was given to you by forces we will never truly comprehend.
I lift so I can go out for food and drinks with friends guilt free without being worried about 'muh gains' like I was some kind of nutrition autist.
Set a good example for my child / future children.
Makes me personally feel good about myself.
Mog other dads / be the fit dad at swim lessons.
Motivate my wife to be more active
i was bullied as kid, just want to be strong 🙁
You weren't bullied because you were weak, you were bullied because you didn't stand up for yourself.
>t. same boat.
Jealousy
i want to be a saiyan
I lift for George Washington
because I have crippling body dysmorphia and lifting heavy is the only thing that helps
also because DOMS gets me harder than anything else
Cause those nightmares where my punches do nothing scare the shite out of me
Get called small by people who I have 20 pounds on all day and women who tell me they can beat me in a fight when I'm literally a solid 50lbs heavier and a foot taller. Smile and say ya sure. Go to gym and let all the rage out in my lifts. Repeat.
Why are you getting into fights with people on a daily basis?
Too wienery and people don't like it. And I rejected all of them at some point.
Try being confident instead of wienery.
Reject all the women in an office setting and see how fast they all turn on you.
I rejected a prostitute milf that wanted to cheat on her husband with me. She continued to try and groom me for a while after that but once she realize it was getting her nowhere she started being c**ty and did everything she could to try and hurt my feelings and make me feel self conscious. Pretty sure she was talking shit to the boss about me behind my back too.
Yep. Now imagine if you had 3 or 4 of them at once. Now imagine how the men react when they all get told a bunch of bs of how terrible you are.
>Now imagine how the men
"OMG bbygrl I can't believe he would act that way towards you. What a monster, I'll go fight him for you sweetheart."
you have some very strange interactions with people. what country so i dont accidentally visit?
Probably America. Interactions with women like that are very common.
American women have been raised to hate men and will try to make your life as difficult as possible just because they feel like it.
im american and this shit sounds completely foreign to me. you might just have a lot of buttholes where you live.
Walking past a soccer pitch as a young kid, you see some guys you know playing soccer and think "that's fricking brilliant" and you join them.
Now as an adult you see the beauty and drive and will and shit and everything going on in the world and you want to be a part of that too. And it's even better because it doesn't matter so much that you're on one team against another team but that your adversary is entropic catastrophe and dullness and emptiness and everything that characterizes 99.9999% of the universe, in a dark room you are one of the molecules on the surface of the match that illuminates
I regret not getting involved in a sport in high school. At least I lift now... but damn.
You wanna know? Because I'm bipolar. But when I lift it makes my depressive episodes less pronounced, and when I'm in a manic mode I'll clear a 1 hour workout in 30 minutes while setting a pb.
Same here anon. Though diet, calorie restriction, and fasting seems to work better for my moods than exercise. I actually have to be careful with exercise and goals because I'm terrified I'll have another really bad manic episode.
To perform better at my sport
>Why do you train a sport
To be able to kill a man bare hands
To shit on israelitebois and getting girls
i dont lift anymore but as far as exercise, used to do it out of spite to show up people that held me down. now i just do it because it genuinely think its fun. sometimes the endorphin rush is better than sex.
also i climb because i am afraid of heights and i wont let something homosexual like an irrational fear dictate my life.
I lift So that I Don't Kill Myself
i want to be better than everyone else, my generation is full of morons, fatties, trannies and homosexuals.
I build muscle because i want to be better than them in everything, i want to make them feel bad with themselves, i do not want chicks since i consider all of them as c**ts that are not worth.
Makes me feel good. Mentally and physically. Also I tend to overindulge on food so if I didn't I would be repulsive.
When the race war comes I'll be physically fit enough to do my part.
I just wanna be big.
I lift and workout because of the anomaly. There is something in this life which will inevitably challenge me. Be it a man, an event, a hardship, could be anything.
Its coming. Every second it draws closer.
I will be ready. I will face it.
guy at work is a couple years younger than me and he is chad. basketball player, tall, fit, fast, etc. I don't want to be like him because he is a punk but I see him being all those things and want to be them. I do spartan circuit and I run every day/other day now
So I can look like gay ass anime muscly twinks
I wonder how many people writing these comments are bots and shills?
Only guilty man in Shawshank.
Have you gotten any mires yet?
partly to get over being a dyel, partly to train for the difficult. Depends on the day
Essentially a long winded way to get a form of therapy, i have deep oceans of anger that i've built up since i was a young boy and I wish to release that anger through boxing but I can't get into boxing until i get my body into proper form.
because I didnt like my body but now I don’t got much else
If I really dig deep, I think it stems from two things:
>Women
>Want to make my Father proud of me
My Dad is a good man who doesn't deserve a disappointment of a son.
When I was a kid I was told I had a six pack. Then I was fed a constant diet of shitty fast food and invited to live a sheltered and sedentary lifestyle. It was the 90s and 00s, my parents fully bit the fast food propaganda that was everywhere, saying how that shit was somehow not unhealthy as hell. Food was high in carbs and sweets at home (like fruit juice and the like). When I fell, my parents refused to let me feel the full impact. I lived a sheltered, comfortable life.
The downward spiral made me seek comfort in eating. It peaked out in my 20s where I would guzzle a two liter of soda a day and refused to move much from my situation.
I was trying to kill myself with food.
Ive got ...20 ish pounds left I think... The stretch marks are finally starting to disappear. What it means to me to finally feel whole or comfortable in my own body is something I've rarely felt in my life. The sensation I feel now, knowing I'm so close to my goals, is a feeling I'm not quite sure I can put into words and shakes me to my very core.
I fell and tripped and stopped so many times, never thought I'd even get close to where I am now.
Never do anything for anyone else but yourselves, bros.
Never do ANYTHING for anyone but yourself...
because I enjoy the thought of other people giving up and I keep going
To be stronger and leaner
My dad became weak and has a potbelly so I wish to avoid that
I am a genetic elite top 5% and I lift to fulfill my potential
