So I work out and everything, have a nice schedule, but sometimes I find myself thinking what's the big deal? What am I doing this for? Not like I play a sport or anything. Yes there is the fact of having a healthy body, but why go further? I'm sure many of you here were inspired by something like DBZ or Yu Yu Hakusho, isn't it cool they train for a purpose? Along the way they have enemies to face, and need to get stronger to protect their friends. This is the real world though, so how do I get motivation? I need help bros, getting angry doesn't work and thinking of friends doesn't work. And only losers lift for girls. Please help
It seems like a legitimate question, why workout to a point beyond being six-pack fit and healthy? Seems like you've caught a meme.
Pumping just for gettin dem mirin is pointless, yes.
Do it because you like it or want to do it.

Maybe start a sport I'm which you benefit from working out, like martial arts or something? Competitive sports are generally a good motivator when it comes to keeping fit.

Aging gracefully. Getting old is rough, but it can be fucking hell if you're not fit. Maintain a certain level of mobility and strength otherwise getting old will suck more than it has to.
Let yourself go for a couple months and you'll probably find motivation. When you notice yourself getting weaker and chubbier you might find motivation for another year of training.
You could also try a less regimented approach to working out. Decide what exercises you do based on what you're in the mood for. You don't have to bench press every chest day. Try a 10x10 program, try just two sets of each exercise, learn to do muscle-ups.
