While I'm sure Socrates was ripped this idea that he would take the beauty and strength of the body seriously is in direct contrast to his views in the Phaedo where he describes the true philosopher as having no concern for their physical body or any worldly pleasures because they are devoted to their soul and whatever comes after this life.

For me, stuff like this is motivation. To not become this shit, to NEVER become like this disgrace to humanity. I have lost over 30kgs and now on a good road to achieve the physique I want.

That is not what I mean at all, It is disgusting doing something like this to oneself, and for someone who do not care about themself to do this, it motivates me to hit the gym

>>35078674
Socrates is more of Plato's personification of his own philosophy. Different works by different chroniclers have Socrates' ideas in contrast.

me to. I hit rock bottom about a year and a half ago and I looked at all the losers and pieces of shit around me and realized I was just like them and it scared me into bettering myself. I was actually about to sign up for a "love shy" webboard.

>>35078857
I think you're right, Plato definitely used Socrates as a mouthpiece for a lot of his own ideas that Socrates probably never thought of or believed. But I'm also unconvinced that Socrates said that quote about the body or anything similar.

i know that, but this kind of motivational speech leads people to orthorexia and orthorexia is no good.

That sounds like a very specific problem that only you have.

Most people can be on a cut and have a bite of pie without some sort of psychotic breakdown.

>>35079603
I'd recommend seeing a doctor or therapist about that. Its a very uncommon condition and should be treated seriously.
Hope you get over it brah

He is the biggest phony and all of you are retarded for looking up to him

>>35079784

How is he a phony? Steroids were legal and he's admitted to taking them. Even if you took a whole medicine cabinet you wouldn't look half as good as Arnold.

I think it's meant to say that geniuses wouldn't have to work hard on that. They'd find an easy yet less rewarding way to do it.

At least that's what i think.


Also pic came from the random quote generator, thought it fit

>>35083305

genius implies it was gifted to him at birth, he did nothing other than be born and inherit his genius and be given success for free.

he's reminding you that nothing was given to him, everything he had he gained through his own efforts, not because of 'genius'.

>>35083305
that his work isnt the result of something intangible like ingenuity, its the result of toil, sweat and thousands of hours of work

It makes more sense if you swap "genius" with "talent". He's saying that he got to where he is with hard work, not because of any god given gifts.

>>35086297
no, i'm asking what did you/he respond
the thread is ded now

I'm so damn close to giving in again. I just need to lose 20 or so more kg, then I'd finally be normal. But I give in and eat shitty sweets and fast food when I'm stressed. If I just cut those out I lose weight really easily, but I juse can't live without a shitton of sugar. Could really use the motivation right now.

>>35079784

Don't have a pic on hand, but here's my motivation.
>At age 22, I was 270 highest weight
>My mother is elderly and unhealthy(diabetes) so I take care of her and live with her
>I awake one morning to subtle yelling and my dog freaking out
>She cannot use the right side of her body
>I quickly realize she had a stroke as she had a light one when I was 15(one of the reasons I look after her)
>I have to get her to the ER as soon as possible
>I pick her up, but I struggle.. So very hard
>This immediately discourages me
>Have to get her on my back and get to the car as fast as possible
>Here is where I find out how weak of a human being I am
>Get to the hospital and tell them she's had a stroke
>She's hospitalized for days, and I'm there every step of the way
>Each day I am trialed with picking her up, moving her, and I can barely do this
>Goes to a specialty hospital
>I'm haunted every night about how weak I am
>If I was any weaker she wouldnt have made the recovery that she did
>Month passes, physical therapy and medication
>Depression and anxiety
>Still being haunted at my weakness
>I start to group everything unhealthy and lazy as being weakness
> I start lifting 5 times a week
> All I am concerned about is getting stronger
>For even to this day, I have nightmares about that morning
>After each set, during my rest period, my eyes close and I remember that morning
>about a half a year later, with a miracle and hope, she's made damn near a full recovery and can walk again without assistance
>I was lucky, but I will never forget
That is my motivation /fit

I don't think I'll ever see her again, but I want to show her what she's missing, what she threw away. Maybe a revenge fantasy sounds corny but it helped me get through deadlifts.
