Sup /fit/, what mental gains have you received as a result of

If you can force yourself to squat when you are sure you're going to fail you have more mental toughness than 80% of the west

>of the west
The West is the best of a bad bunch, so you probably have more mental fortitude than 99% of Earth

gotta add those calories.

willpower and simplifying my life during this cut from a being a fatass has translated into more focus and energy and a better mood. The only really mental intensive thing i do is play chess as a hobby but i solve tactics puzzles a lot faster and can see 4-5 moves ahead now when i struggled with 2 before.

Props for the chess bra, what is your online rating and where do you play?

>>34864842
lol, working out doesn't give you any mental gains. To think it does is so stupid. Try taking on a science major at a university.

usually lichess and i hover between 1500-1700. I have a lot of variance and swing that much. I'm trying to make more time for it because i really enjoy it but i have to take work home with me a lot and have a gains goblin gf im starting to resent so its hard to solidly improve

The west was the best of the bunch 100 years ago.

The mighty have fallen. People are fat and weak and care more about feels than freedom and more about comfort than competance.

via roids?

>>34864842

Striving for a better body has made me more disciplined in everything.

Lifting can make me happier

>>34865255
roids are notoriously bad for your junk

>>34865290
I could never see how people valued it as a trade off. Become more manly; destroy the purpose of being a man in the process.

>>34865255
Roids will give you pea balls first.
castration via reaction.
>sack girlfriend.
>brag about said sacking at the gym.
>beaten until testicles burst like eggs.
>castration.

Body dysmorphia and orthorexia.

>>34865517
Both seem positive to me
