I legit can't grasp the concept.
And no, I don't mean the guys that do an healthy amount of excercise to stay fit.
I mean weirdos like this:
What do gymcels mean when they say they are "lifting for themself"?

It means when you're too much of a pussy to go outside look for women so you just cope by saying you do it for yourself, it's a meme, doesnt really hold any meaning
>it's a meme, doesnt really hold any meaning
memes can hold meaning
>t. not understanding that lifting for yourself is how to get the most women
and unlike social-fakers, the above might actually find a wife one day
Lifting releases happy hormones. That's reason enough for me. Also
I can eat a lot without gaining weight.
I can stare at hot people in the gym.
Only autistic people try to semantically separate "lifting for yourself" and "lifting for others", it's all interconnected because you're a social ape, get over it.
>roid monster
yeah roiders are mentally ill I don't care about them
It's just another cope, especially in the bodybuilding world
Bodybuilding is literally aesthetics. It's like a b***h saying she puts makeup for herself, not for others kek
This guy gets it.
I mean there are plenty of reasons to lift but if you pretend aesthetics and women aren’t part of the equation you’re lying to yourself or trying to attract men.
It's all just mental illness, inferiority complex, massive insecurity, self esteem issues... you name it.
Getting stronger makes me happy
>I legit can't grasp the concept.
well I'm definitely not lifting for your benefit
homie what's wrong with being a gymcel? You wanna be an out of shape normiee that gets cheated on by a ex party girl whor of a wife? Because that's the fate of normeis
I don't lift for myself, I lift for God.
He gave me an able body and I want to thank him by making it stronger.
Are you people stupid?
Lifting for yourself = lifting for longevity and higher quality of life.
Let me give an example. I am a married oldgay with kids. I don't need to lift for women, I have my wife. Frankly my family would appreciate the extra five hours a week if I weren't lifting. But I do it so that I can live longer to see my children grow and so that my joints don't hurt and my blood pressure and blood sugar and cholesterol and all that shit are in balance.
This is what the term means. Simple as.
nice
OP specifically excluded guys like you (and me) though. I think he means actual gymcels who are roiding and chasing lifting numbers or bulking up huge / dieting down to low bf for no reason.
What this guy said.
Also it helps with depression and eating disorders.
>I lift for longevity and healthier joints
anon, I...
Because you’re moronic and are such a normalgay zogbot you don’t know what it’s like to not have a hive mind mentality. Everything you do is for others acceptance. You will never know what it’s like to desire to reach a level of human art that is extremely rare. You begin for women sure but when you’re really into this it becomes more than that
>start lifting for sports, or girls, or to mog your bullies cause you're a weak homosexual
>eventually get girls, grow out of sports, quit being a pussy, whatever the case may be
>still lift because you're comfortable with your current state and are afraid of being small again
>get bored after a while since you're not chasing any particular goal in the gym
>have to come up with metaphysical cope to justify it
>eventually realize you're being a homosexual with all the rationalizing
>finally accept that you now have to lift forever because your physique is part of who you are in the mind of others and you have to lift to continue to be a stable and reliable force in their lives, a beacon of positive influence through your presence and your actions, a guiding light for the next crop of young men, a display of respect to your elders for passing down their responsibilities to you, and a reminder to your peers of their own capability for dedicating themselves to their own betterment.
The man who lifts for himself lifts for nothing, for that is all he is.
You're lazy
You're an adult man who has posters of greased up half naked steroid addicts on your walls for "motivation"...
Projecting
you're a stinky dyel seething on IST about what strangers are doing with their time
You buy bunk sarms online because you're too afraid to look women in the eye irl
I have never used a PED
you've never talked to women that isn't a relative or a teacher outside of other men with anime avatars pretending to be women on discord
You should lift to prepare for a beautiful death, not for femoids
>I mean weirdos like this
Hands off Noel. He's a necessity to rising gym culture above negative bring-down knuckle draggers like you.
It feels good to be strong and healthy. Lifting big weights is fun. That’s it, man.
Demoralization thread
I lift so I can wear the clothes which I always considered cool, which had the side effect of attracting women. I follow the create a character irl philosophy.
We all lift for ourselves.
If I lift "for women" that just means I lift so my life will improve via female attention.
This. I want to be fit so women slob my knob. Idgaf if my lifting makes a woman personally happy if that happiness does not result in my personal ejaculation.

because it's an escapist cope to distract from the reality that your mom will die in her sleep tonight if you don't reply to this post

Pls mommy don’t die
You're never going to understand anon.
You refuse to.
So don't ask, we won't explain it to you.
I have never replied to posts like the one above, and I never will
>"lifting for themself"
I just like it when number goes up and I know no matter how big I get I will hate how I look but I know an extra .5" on my bicep might help with that
That's how working out replaced videogames for me. I get the number go up gimmick and can grind for substantial goals while getting my narrative fix from somewhere else.
frickin bunch of creeps.
I enjoy going to the gym and I like getting stronger and looking better. I was already married with kids before I started lifting and never had any trouble attracting women in the past. So I guess I'm "lifting for myself", not sure why it's so difficult for some people to grasp.
I enjoy weightlifting and cardio, moron. I didn't start lifting until 9 years after I lost my virginity. It's all for my own benefit.
Great meme but i would add a table with some meme ''life changing'' supplements as:
-Ashwagandha
-Boron
-Tongkat ali
-some -racetam
-some ADHD medication
I have that exact same Steins;Gate poster and I'm a 29 year old kissless hugless handholdless dateless virgin.
I actually feel attacked.
>I legit can't grasp the concept.
I enjoy going to the gym and getting those sweet endorphins, aesthetics is just a nice bonus. You fat homosexual 🙂
I like to lift.
It's theraputic.
If I didn't care about lifting I would simply stop anytime.
Yes bodybuilders are mentally ill trannies.
Yes most people going to the gym are just as mental and have issues.
I don't care. Liftung makes me feel good.
t. oversocialized
I don't get why we get so many doomer crybabies on IST
The reason is simple, just like eating food, drinking water, breathing air. I have to do it, that's all.
Don't make lifting your whole personality, just like you 1RPM, it amounts to nothing.
