I lift for him (no homo)

>>36983359
Only girl I lift for is the daughter I'm about to have. Before it was just so I could look in the mirror and not hate myself.

I lift so that my arms are no longer noodle tier and I'm not so fucking bony

>>36983359
For the endorphins. I feel so shit if I go a day without an intense exercise session. It's not a feeling of guilt. It's just an uncomfortable dullness. Drugs do a good job, but lifting is legal, good for my health and costs less.

>>36983668
> the daughter I'm about to have

I'm so sorry, anon.

>>36983668
>the child I'm about to have
I'm so grateful there's enough people in my country that want to have kids so there will be younger generations to keep things going. That way I can not have kids and enjoy living my life however I want without scheduling around a child.

>>36983715
>contributing nothing to the preservation of my race

You better not be white

liftin for mental health

>>36983726
Sure am white. Most of the people having kids here are also white. So it's not there's less white people.

I don't lift for 3D girls if that counts.

I lift for health, both mental and physical. I was severely depressed to a point I attempted suicide when I was 18. I turned that around with help from my doctors and the gym. I also am Type One diabetic. Working out helps my blood sugars and weight. I started lifting seriously back in January and have already lost 60lbs. I'm still 220, and have a ways to go, but I'm feeling greater now.

I honestly don't think about girls when it comes to lifting. Now, however, my confidence is way up and I tend to go after girls more often than I did, BUT I barely think about dat pussy when picking heavy things up and putting them down.

>>36983359
The gym is stress relief from my job. It gives me one thing to focus on and allows me to objectively quantify my progress.

I wanted to throw an insult at you but everything I can think of seems too light.

>>36983612
Im in this boat, not an otatu with a dakimakura and a waifu but they're an ideal.

>>36983359
I lift to become the strongest most powerful person I can be. If I wanted to lift for the grils I would be cutting instead of trying to qualify for the 2017 weightlifting nationals.

I started lifting for my gf but since we broke up I don't really have a reason why I still lift. Currently just continuing to get the body I know she lusted for.

>>36983871
Whoah thats beyond beta, holy fuck.

>>36983841
According to US census data from 2010 and 2014, the percentage of "White alone, not Hispanic or Latino" was 63.7% in 2010 and 62.1% in 2014.

While it decreased in 4 years, it is still the clear majority.

If you look at the reporting for "White" which is more indicative of what you might be considering white, it shows an increase, over the same years, of 5% from 72.4% in 2010 to 77.4% in 2014.

Clearly, the white race is on the brink of extinction.

>>36983359
I just want to not be the skinniest guy people ever see anymore.

>>36983696
This seems to be a pretty common response, it's my first kid...
>>36983715
You're welcome?
>>36983837
IKTFB them comfy endorphins, them focus gains. Good stuff. Boss wants me to train him, don't want him bringing work into my time though.

>>36983853
You aren't getting to nationals, you fat fuck. Holy shit, Anon, just kill yourself now before the beetus gets you.

>>36983938
and before you complain about white versus white along, here are the definitions of each.

white: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.

white alone: White alone, not Hispanic or Latino are individuals who responded "No, not Spanish/Hispanic/Latino" and who reported "White" as their only entry in the race question.

So while the "white" category does include people who report as from the middle east, it also includes all of the European ancestries as well.

>>36983359
Similar for me. Bf gyms hard and recently got me into it. Kind of got quickly attached to pushing myself and seeing the numbers go up.

[also like blowing people's minds because they're deceived by how small and feminine I am]

>>36983853
Godspeed anon
>>36983960
>My goals are more valid than your goals
Calm down anon, you'll get where you're going too someday.

>>36983359
I'm given one body and I want to make it as good as I can possibly get it. I want to be strong, fast, and healthy.

I lift for girls tbH, but I have a near zero success rate so if people ask, I don't lift for girls.

I just started getting in shape but I'm doing it so I can learn to kick some ass. I love 80s action movies and realized I wanted to be more like some of my heroes, not just some chubby dude who just watches buff dudes kick butt. Also doing it for the aesthetic

I lift because I want a decent body. I work in retail, and seeing so many fat fucks come in daily motivates me to never be like that again. Went from obese to normal BMI last year, and would do so again.

I want to lose enough body fat to get abs and overall look decent. I think my body shape has at least improved, and I have a long way to go, but seeing people make it motivates me to keep going, no matter how bad life is going.

To be honest, this is the first time in years I feel like I can look at a mirror and like what I see, instead of just seeing the reflection every morning and cursing at how I look.

>>36984261
We're mutts, come from a long line of soldiers who just fucked someone from every continent.
And yes, I wear boots around him so I don't have to crane my fucking neck.
My mother is 5'6" so I guess her blood diluted the gigantism or something, my father isn't even the tallest in the family, although he's one of the strongest. We've got family legends about people over 7 feet tall who ripped off people's heads.
And I'm just sitting here wondering if I'll ever diddly 4pl8.

>>36983715
You say this now, but when you hit around 50 you realize how much of a fucked up decision that was.
I've considered suicide because of this. I can't bare looking at a father and his son in public, really gets me in the feels.

Admittedly part of the reason I lift is for my gf; I like being able to lift her and want to keep looking good for her. However the majority of the reason I lift is for health and to be a strong motherfucker. I've always sort of had it in the back of my mind that I was meant to be out in the killing fields like my blood of old but was never one sign my life away to the military. So I guess in some minuscule way I feel like the iron connects me to my true meaning in life

I just love the feeling of getting stronger.

Autism levels of wanting to be stronger.

If I think I might've gotten weaker I bench.
Constantly.

>>36984914
That sucks for you. I don't like the idea of having kids and don't really like kids in general anyway.

But you're suggesting I just go ahead and have a kid now, while I don't want one, because later I will? That's the makings of such a shitty parent.

I just lift to have something to do. I'm ugly (Sami face, narrow shoulders and only 5'11"), work from home and have no friends.

It gets me out of the house 5 days a week and helps keep me healthy so I can go on living in a world that doesn't know I exist.

>>36983651
Shit back then wearing all that shit wouldnt you naturally grow stronger? I can only imagine how strong knights were roaming 3/4 of the day in steel armor.

>>36985512

In combat, if you knocked a mounted knight off his horse, he'd be a turtle on its back on the battlefield. Easy to kill with a pike.

>>36983715
Having kids actually opens up a lot of doors that aren't there before having kids. School functions, parks, museums etc. you can't just go to by yourself. Being a family man is really life enriching, bro.

>>36983359
my girlfriend couldn't care less.

>>36984914

Most men I see with kids are ugly. What pisses me off isn't that they have procreated, but the fact that they had sex with a woman.

>>36983668
Congrats mate.

I do most things in life for myself. Helicopter just crashed in our county. Been national news for days and a lot of people I know are really broken up about it. I don't see why they care. I don't realize why people care about anything but them selves honestly. I'm constantly pissed off at how much stupid bullshit is in the news. I don't care that some literally whos died in a crash and I don't care about some 40 year old football player tearing the referee a new one and getting punished for it. This is what passes for national front line news here. I don't care about what most of my friends do and I don't care about what my collegues at work do. I don't have anything interesting to talk to and I'm not interested in what they have to say. This is probably why I'm having such a hard time holding conversations with people. I'm in my senior year in college and I've been wanting to go out and meet new people every weekend for these years. But most of the times I'm out with the class I end up leaving early do to not having anyone to talk to.

So I lift for myself and focus on my career and goals in life. If women want to get with me then fine I guess, but it isn't my ultimate goal with lifting. I just want to be strong and not be underweight anymore.

>>36983682
same. except it's not dullness, it's depression

Before it was just to stop being a fat slob, however, my fiancé just told me she's pregnant and wants to have it. To think, six years ago I was 320 lb, depressed, no job, no friends, and not going to school. I'm very happy with my life now, all that's left is to ensure that my kid has the best life possible.

I struggled with weight since childhood. Weightlifting is more of a symbolic thing for me at this point, once I shed the last of my disgusting fat reserves I'll be able to shed my old pitiful self as well.

I dragged myself out of a decade long depression, overcame obesity, social anxiety and am currently trying to conquer NEET status, without any outside help. (parents were there, but theyre like benevolent-neglect mode)
I used to dream about meeting new people and starting my life over, but then I realized all my struggles were truly my own.
Statistically, people who are into fitness are a rarity where I live and it was unlikely that I was going to encounter an average joe who could relate to me, much less a partner.
Why do people get fit, if not for themselves? Your next gf is more likely to chug starbux than anything healthy. And you cant make strangers understand or appreciate the all work you did.
Theyre on the other side of it.
I dont care about "becoming" anything to fit someone else's desires.
I've struggled so hard to BE.

I am genuinely not lifting for girls. I am genuinely not lifting at all.

>>36985512

It's about 60-80lbs

Even a lanklet can comfortably move around in armor and it's not like the entire god damn piece is placed on one spot.

The weight is distributed quite well, even chain mail wears easily.

Didn't do them jack shit against the Mongols. Hell, even them Mongols just wore light armor and silk underneath. Pulled the fucking arrow out with the silk, Fuck it, raze a city, rape the women and divert a river over it.

I'm doing it for 3 reasons

First is my health, i was actually developing diabetes due to muh genetics and being a fat cunt, somedays my knees felt miserable due to my weight and doing moderate activity at work (still ate like 3k cals a day so i never lost any weight)

Second is for my confidence, now i'm not exactly an autismo, i have friends and know how to act in most social interactions, if i had to rate my confidence around girls i'd say it's a solid 6.5/7, as far as a mental thing that's the best i can do, i'm hoping that once i'm able to actually like my own body, i can improve my confidence.

3rd is grills, bcuz pussy

My confidence with girls was obliterated in high school when I was fat and a girl was dared to ask me out

I'm just /fit/ to not be gross, to give myself something to do, and to drunkenly recreate movie stunts

Weeberino here

I started playing Katawa Shoujo, and my favorite is the Emi Route.

So, whenever I cardio/lift I pretend that I'm working out with Emi, and if I slack off I disappoint here which is fucking unacceptable.

Motivated me so far.

I have been plagued by nightmares since childhood that are usually caused by my weakness.

>i am this way therefore you are this way too

is this called solipsism?

1) Have slightly weird boobies lifting makes them look normal
2) Lifting makes me look hot as fuck
3) Want to go running across the school next year shirtless and get girls moist desu senpai.

Lol similar to my family. You will, but you just take after your dad. Youll get increasingly strong and massive as you physically challenge yourself and eat right

We are brothers in spirit my man, but I intend to get shredded to say I did when I am dying.

All the Hate on this post kek

I'm married.

I lift to keep it that way. Since I expect her not to be fat, it's reasonable she expects the same of me.

>>36997506
Anon... all the lifting that can be done humanly possible will not fix what a faggot you are. Just remember that.

>>36998641
Haha maybe your husband's in the thread man.

She does browse /fit/ actually, but she's sitting right beside me, so no, that isn't her.

>>36997506
it's amazing how triggered people get if anyone claims to have above average intelligence

>>37001160
everyone is weak in their dreams anon, something to do with your body not moving irl so your brain thinks you're not exerting any force

I lift to improve myself and my life.

Getting more poon makes up some part of that, sure. Would anybody argue getting more sex will not improve your life?

Other things like feeling more comfortable with myself, being stronger, being able to eat unhealthy stuff every once in a while with a good conscience, being more confident, being more healthy are just as important, though.

But I'm not lifting for girls or for any one girl in particular.

Dunno if that counts

>>36991761
Please anon. Please. Kill yourself.

>>36997506
Sounds good m8. Don't listen to the autists here. They are not gonna make it.

>>36984034

Medieval combat was brutal

>>37001160
>this is now a nightmare thread

A pretty common one for me is I'm driving, but I'm extremely drunk or something, and I know I am. But for some reason I don't stop. I don't just have one big crash. It's more like that scene in Wolf of Wall Street where he's crashing into shit all the way home. I'm just getting more and more scared of the police as I'm crashing into shit all the way home. Also, I never actually make it home; I shift to another dream.
