I exercise for health. I do cardio and HIIT to have more energy, vitality, and generally feel better.

I also remind myself that civilization is only held together by a thread, and it could all come crumbling down in an instant.

I lift and do HIIT so that I can be a survivor if and when the world goes to hell.

I also lift for strength, so that I might be able to crush those who would try to harm me or my family.

Truthfully, there are infinite reasons why I am fit. But those are the high points.

I lift for Swift

>>31797703
I lift because i'm a fat slob who can'T stand cardio

>>31797703
I lift because... I didn't even start yet, I'm just trying to. I have to wait till this cold goes away. Actually... do I have to?

>>31797758

>>31797703
What is she looking at?

>>31797839
Normally if you were already in shape it would depend if the cold was above or below the neck.

But since you're in awful shape I'm going to suggest that you rest until you're 100% healthy.

I would recommend reading the sticky and really get prepared to make some changes in life.

Physical strength correlates with intelligence.

I'm lost /fit/, speaking to a friend today and told me to start a 5 day routine training an individual part of a body, leg, chest etc. And i suggested SS

Because I don't think I could live without it. Lifting is all I got

>>31797921
How are you anon?

>>31797920
Wait you were looking for a routine and ended up suggesting SS? wut

Too many people nagging me to do so

>>31797987

For the ones who can't.

I got my oneitis to move 500 miles away with me.

I lift for my own fabricated ideation of honor and integrity. Just as Zyzz did, I wanted to create a persona, an 'aura', he said that Zyzz wasn't him or a person, it was a lifestyle, an idea.
With lifting paired with various other things beneficial in life, it holds confidence and prosperity. Create an image for yourself, create a lifestyle where you are truly a free man.
People will surely follow your ideals once you build your foundation up. Be too busy working on your own grass to see if anybody else's is greener.
You got this, buddy.

None of these fucking cheesy pictures and motivational quotes will work. They will make you "feel good", but that won't do shit. It's just a case of small wins over and over again, time after time until you work your way up to it. Discipline motherfucker, not motivation.

don't know about HIIT but cardio has definitely made me feel much better on a daily basis and that's just from one month

Also makes drinking water alot easier, I'm not bitching about muh flavor when I'm legit thirsty and I drink prob more than a gallon throughout the day

I agree, it's one of my favorites. It's quite striking for something that depicts a scene so simple.

>>31798973
Yeah man. The effect that doing cardio has had on my life is nothing short of amazing. It's why I run every day, at least one lap around the neighborhood.

So you'd rather stay an underachiever? Somewhen the time will come, where you realize that it is too late for you to change, you get eat up by your habits, your mediocrity, your worthlessness. You stand up in the morning, working at a job you hate, making just enough money to think that you don't have to worry, come home to your average wife with your underachieving kids and live the same life millions of people do. But one day this won't be enough for you anymore, but you will think to yourself, that it is too late now.
Starting to lift now won't change most of this. You'll still hate your job, you won't get a better wife or children. People still won't notice you when you go buy groceries, you won't drown in qt's and you won't get any friends. But at the end of the day, you won't hate yourself when you go to bed. You lay there and you just broke a personal record, not for anyone, but for you. And you will the only person that will be proud of you and you will fall asleep with a smile, because once in your life you made a decision, you worked for a long term goal that you will never reach, yet you won't give up, never.
Start lifting anon, make yourself proud.

A few years back, I was riding the bus, going home. It was evening, and the bus was driving through one of the many suburbs my country has. As I looked at the houses flying past, I saw the blue glow of a television behind pretty much every window. It just screamed mediocrity and complacence, a life that consists of waking up, bringing the kids to a mediocre school, sitting behind a desk for 8 hours, and then go home and have dinner while listening to your wife telling you about the uneventful day she had. A life like that sounded like a nightmare to me.
From that moment on, I've been determined to not let that become the life I'm going to be living when I'm older.

You have to fill out paperwork and junk first, but you absolutely can visit strangers at a hospital. It's volunteer work, it raises the spirits of the patients and it's a very respectable thing to do (as long as you don't let it slip that you're exploiting their illness to boost your gainz).

The guys from the islamic state feel like they're making the world better.
They believe once everyone has joined the khalif we can live in peace and prosperity without war, crime and other nasty shit. They decapitate and burn people alive right now just so we give in faster and they don't have to do it anymore.

yoga, planche, acrobatics class? lots of self discipline and having fun training. Your guess is as good as mine.

But they both have hairless chests...

>>31801951
Is this true?

Anyway training smart is always the best way. So many people I see in the gym who have terrible form or are lifting too much weight just because they think that's what they have to do.

If they just took the time to do it properly they'd get hench as fuck.

Good one bro, you got em!

anybody know what painting this is? I'd really like a scan of it

>>31797703
I love that painting.

My girlfriend can't walk but still stays in really good shape and is extremely successful financially.

It reminds me of her undying spirit.

I remember getting this from a football teacher once and feeling fucking pumped

>tfw no wheelie gf

Would you tell us some stories?

>>31805375

This is so fucking true man.

If you feel uneasy when training you ain't gonna get nowhere.

You've got to own that shit

Reminds me of that geico commercial.

She had her legs and hands amputated due to an infection.
Basically came down to a big malpractice settlement.
She is still making her own money though.

She was a 97% match on Okcupid and we clicked instantly. Honestly I was way past the point of never expecting to find someone.

no he's talking about some Warhammer 40K bullshit. I hear it's all sorts of good, though.

>>31797921
pretty much this.
>that feel when I hurt my lower back a bit on monday and won't be able to lift for a week, maybe two
>that feel when I have nothing else to do and cutting becomes 10x harder because I have no motivation to when I'm not working out

>>31804060
I really like this poem, but somehow seeing it juxtaposed with all this color and Clash-of-Clans-like imagery sort of cheapens it in my eyes. It's weird because there's this one comic from Zen Pencils that I really like as well (the one about Robert Goddard). But seeing this is just weird and makes me feel uncomfortable.

I remember seeing this from about 30m away. And then touching the feet of the statue of St. Peter.
I'm not even slightly religious and it was inspirational

this was back during a time when "motivation" was mostly rationed out somewhat ironically, yet still had the effect of motivating the shit out of you anyway no matter how simple it was. now that 4chan has been infested by normies (even more than years before), there's just no way to keep the little quality present in check.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>this screenshot
the fuck is this bullshit? the only other version of this "motivation" that I've ever seen was another screenshot in windows that also showed the web browser, only in that one, the anon who took it was using Windows Classic theme instead of Aero if I'm not mistaken. Why don't people crop this thing?
