>>38520378

I don't want to hate myself

Its fun, vanity and also
>grills

so i can get a fitness bf

>>38520378
it feels gud

>>38520378
i want to be mired in public

i want to be the biggest guy on the beach

i want to feel my own muscles

i want to jack off every morning in the mirror and actually finish for once purely to my own body and flexing

>>38520378
you know those days where you don't feel like doing anything, not even playing video games?

I get those all the times, but what helps is making my way to the gym and getting all my sets done, going 110% effort no matter how i feel.

then when i come home and realise ive done fuck all, all day, maybe even all week, it's not so bad because i worked hard toward a goal of mine.


not saying im always like this, sometimes im a fucking workhorse when it comes to freelance design and working multiple jobs, but those moments do come, those long weeks where nothing goes anywhere. so that's why.

plus i don't ever want to be cheated on again (twice)

>>38520431
basically this

Because if I keep working this 9-5 for th rest of my life, or any 9-5 I'll kill myself or abuse drugs.

So I would much rather box.

I'm gunna damage my head somehow. Might as well have fun doing it and maybe make some extra cash. Who knows, maybe I'm good at it and in 5 years I can post a pic of me and my belt and tell everyone here that they will make it.
In fact that's the only reason I want to get fit. Ill get grills if I'm overweight because its not hard

I want to know that I can beat my twin brother in a fight. I think about kicking his ass all the time while I lift. Unfortunately he has anger problems so I need to be way stronger to make up for it.

We're actually very close and on very good terms with each other.

I'm insecure about my masculinity

>>38521413

do boxing dude

a week of boxing > unskilled angry faggot

I am tired of always being shit on for being small and scrawny
I don't want to always have to act tough and loud to get people to respect me, that's not me

>>38520378
I've made personal body goals. I reached some but when I look in the mirror I want more.

>>38521525
I'm actually planning on starting to go to my uni's boxing club next week.

>>38520378
Good lord who is that

>>38520378
I want dudes to mire and want to fuck hot chicks
And I want to look like a badass although I have no idea how to fight and basically a pussy inside

I do feel good about myself because I don't fedora post ">lifting for girls" "better myself" anonymously

>>38520378
Wanna be stronk. I was a wimpy kid.

Respect of my coworkers

I meet the new VP of our company, and other top management and they actually lift and stay fit. It made me feel like shit in the meetings, like I'm the fat fuck who is in his 20s working for a great company but fat as fuck and probably looks lazy when you look at me, doesn't matter how i dress, fat is fat and I just want to lose weight so that image doesn't stick in front of me, some people just see the fat guy and that's it from there. I want to be respected again

because right now after I work out is the only time I feel moderately good about myself

>>38520378
What /fit/ thinks bulk is:
6000kcal with whatever the shit food you want mcdonalds and ice cream

What real bulk is:
Steroid injection with tons of protein and carbs

What you should do:
avoid /fit/ suggestion and build muscle while stay reasonable lean

>>38521824
Spot on. At least someone knows

Lifting weights gives me a purpose. I went through a bout of depression when I lost my ex gf to some douche, flunked out of college courses, and ended in a dead beat job. I'm going around correcting everything in my life, for myself, and to prove to everybody who has looked and talked down to me about my hopes and dreams that they can suck a fat fucking dick, but not mine, because they're all whores.

>>38520378

>>38520378
I'm not even dyel yet, but the other night after bars my friend swept my leg and soon we were wrestling, I was in control the whole time. Feels good to be better.
Also, balance is improved sooooo much

>>38520378

/fit/ has been there to comfort me throughout the whole thing. always there to make me laugh. thanks everyone. and always remember:

were gonna make it brahs!

I want to look and feel better
what else duh

Being in shape makes me hate myself less. Plus being strong helped my past my fear of others.

thanks man.

my life was in shambles. Now i have a car, a place down in florida, a great job waiting tables with cool co workers, and best of all i got a great gf, pic related. I started filling my time with healthy activities. i recently started BJJ, and it does wonders for my mental health.

We're gonna make bro

>>38522060
sure man, my best 2 peices of advice would be:

Take it one day at a time. you dont have to stay clean for the rest of your life. you just have to do it for today. Just for today

Sometimes i simplify it to this: whatever you do, dont do heroin. or whatever it is your DOC is. just dont do it and everything else will fall into place.

how much clean time you got anon?

>>38522075

well this was custom made. i was corrosponding with my artist and gave her a few images to work off of. here is the original.

>>38520378
I already looked good enough to get grills but there's no reason not to look better if you can.

My dad and grandpa got really overweight when they became middle aged bc they never exercised or dieted. Once they didn't have their youthful metabolisms their health got pretty bad. I don't want to end up like them, so I'm making a point of making fitness a part of my life when I'm young so that my habits will be solidified by the time I'm at the age when their health took a nosedive.

Also I want to be physically able enough to do important manual labor in case major happenings destroy civilization.

>>38520378
I want to feel like a person

So i can drink copious amounts of booze and not get fat. Also, so when i eventually getsober i have a decent base to work with and know what the fuck im doing.

Daily reminder that your body is the temple of Christ. I just have to respect my body.

>>38521993
keep it up senpai

>reasons i want to get fit not involving smashing puss
I'm vain af OP

I just want to finally be noticed and maybe get a compliment once in a blue moon. But for now it's the DYEL life.

>>38520708
^ pretty much this. It's a lifestyle I like because it keeps me going and focused. Can't wait to get up in the morning and lift before class

>>38522292
That misplaced anger though

>>38520378
I relate to the fact that it looks mad comfy. I was once ~30 pounds lighter than I am now, and that shit was comfy as hell. I always feel bloated and uncomfortable now.

So I can become an exotic male dancer and make some extra $$$$ while going to school

Major body dismorphia where I thought my head was smaller than my body. It got so bad that I thought I looked good in 3xl shirts and with little effort I was skinny. I became slow in the head and body because I thought about what others thought of me.

I could never joke around or Chad about with people my age because I knew I was different. I also knew the only reason anyone bothered talking to me was because of all the school shootings going on.

Pretty sure I have complexes. Still live with parents and work and go to school at 20. Dad keeps bugging me about work money and girls when what I should be focusing in on is work and school and lifting. He also keeps trying to give me things or asking for stuff just to have something for us to do. While its those that get me in trouble with money. He is also old and won't take care of himself so I might be left with funeral debts which I don't want.
Im trying to get him to quit beer and go walk in the little time I have but he wont. And when he does it eats up my sleep which effects work which effects money in just one of the various ways.

Mom also wont leave me alone with work but with her its school or going on vacation and groceries. The fact I work with her doesn't help.

If I was a bit skinnier I wouldn't waste so much time on eating just to support my busy life style with the equivalent of a combat load on my body (70 lbs) but cutting calories also effects work. Ive been threatened with being fired. I just want to be strong enough to get through

Distance has started to accumulate around our relationship with a sincere lack of emotional or physical affection.

look dude. i don't know how you got this pic of my gf. delete it and we won't have any problems, ok? she doesn't want to be on 4chan.

My plaque psoriasis went out of control once I became a fatass, and the injections don't work properly on fat fucks.

I want to have more explosive speed and power for ultimate frisbee, and if I ever get heavy enough, try to play football. It's a pipe dream, but I can still go after it.

>Because I know I've won the genetic lottery in terms of aesthetics (good insertions, nice abs, broad shoulders, thin waist). I just need to keep going
>Want to start wearing tailored shirts and nice clothes
>I like being better than other people
>I want to deadlift 200kg, do a press handstand and get middle splits
>I want to beat my brother in an arm wrestle

>>38520378
I got fit because I have a peculiar attraction to women.

I like other peoples girlfriends. I like the idea of taking something from someone else because I am better than them and I deserve it. Being fit was one of the best ways to achieve this.

Its something that makes an immediate impression and is directly comparable. If a girl in a relationship shows interest I'll loosely flirt and that is usually enough to start a text relationship that she keeps from her boyfriend.

Then it usually escalates to snapchat... >screenshotting photos
>"hey don't save that!"
>Make me
>initiates time to hangout to 'force me to delete photo'
>just bang instead, keep photo

Then I'm bored with it. I leave the girl and they generally won't press there luck contacting me too much if I just ignore them.

Being fit made this all achievable because it is something women want physically that most men don't offer them. So much so they are often willing to cheat with some guy that openly doesn't give two shits about them.

Getting gi-
Oh.

Well I hate being skinny regardless. I've been both fat and skinny in my life and I hate both. It's not how I picture myself, and every time I look in the mirror and it doesn't match what's in my head, I get sickened. But that might just be the dysmorphia talking.

Every man needs to have strength, stamina and weapons because we will need to fight very soon again. We've been coddled for so long, our parents and grand parents have acted like war will never happen ever again.

War will come, and even if it doesn't strike your country you will still need to protect your home or your family within the next year. In Europe it's the muslims, in america it's the blacks.

We've hit the turning point in liberalism and capitalism, and as the pendulum swings back physical fitness will be paramount to survival. What good will the bankers gold be if you and I can walk up and take it?

Health, heart disease and diabetes run in senpai
Aesthetics I used to look great when I was 16 and was quite slim. I've since gained about 40lbs ;_;
I like to improve myself continuously.
Pushing myself to see how great I could become :)
My mom called me fat for like 2 years... ;_;
To motivate my friends and boyfriend to lose weight and get healthy.
Also, I have acne... so I figured I can't be fucked face wise AND body wise... since body would be easier to change...

>>38522075
Where do you do BJJ? I know the whole crowd in S FL

As a fatty in recovery, one of my biggest reasons for starting to hit the gym was so that I could easy buy clothes that fit.

I want to be respected and mired by the other people. I love it when guys call me "bodybuilder" or just tell me that I look like a guy they would not try to fuck with etc.
I also like receiving likes on my instagram pics of my face. Im also addicted into getting people look at me while I walk at the citycentre after workout in a tight t-shirt or stinger and so on.
