Don't have gyno, don't overtrain pecs, don't be fat

Don't lift. But I box because my entire life I've had that little bitch voice in my head telling me don't do it. Don't ask that girl out. Don't try to get that raise. Don't speak your mind. And I'm tired of it. And ever since I started boxing I stopped hearing don't do it in my head. In fact I've heard the opposite. I hear " keep going motherfucker yore no where near where you want to be" and it feels good. Its better than any drug I've abused. It gets out all the rage I've held inside my entire life ,which had made me a more relaxed person over all.

I want to be a world champion one day. But even more than that I want to participate in a fight of the year, a fight that people wonder "shit how the FUCK did he take all those shots and knock that mother fucker out after???" I want to be the man I always told myself I couldn't be.

So that's why I box.

What if I like being fat?

>cannot stand the idea of ever "letting myself go"

This, literally. Before I worked out I was kind of vain but now that I've started I realize I'll never be happy if I stop. Being a weak skinny fuck again would destroy me.

>>39298331
You don't.

So I can carry heavy objects home from the store.

>>39298351
But I do.
Cutting is the devil.

>>39298321
I like that. Reading that makes me wanna box because I feel like we're similar. I have so much anger built up and I think if I were to do something like boxing and express it, I would be a calmer guy elsewhere.

>>39298356
Then you better learn to enjoy having tits

And your "point" is?

If you can sit on the couch for an hour you might as well lift for an hour.

Working out feels great and I love waking up early to get a good road bike in or go for a jog.

Because lifting is the only thing I've ever excelled at in my life

People treat you differently right off the bat if you have some muscle showing. Also it gives you an edge over smaller guys generally. It's the little things that add up.

I don't want to be weak anymore. I was always that small guy growing up.

I also hate myself so lifting kind of staves that off.
