Because I reached an age where getting fat is the standard. Most of my old gym buddies are getting their chub on and I noticed I was as well. I don't want to be the guy who "used to be /fit/". I want to take some pride in the fact that everyone saying; "I was fit like you once, just wait, you'll reach this point eventually ;)" are fucking wrong.

So I lift for personal achievement, and to avoid turning in some fat bastard who uses his work as an excuse to get fat (too busy to work out).

I enjoy it, and the progress. But I'm doing it to be less of a fat, unhealthy fuck, and because I will have to do some serious physical stuff later in the year I want to prepare for. And I want to look good.

I stopped enjoying grinding game characters so I had to channel my autistic desire to grind something. I discovered lifting and since I've been doing that.

then I realized it is my empty personality or my ugly mug and not my skeleton like appearance

now I do it because after seeing the first results of my work it just feels good

so sex and genuinely liking it I guess

Everyone from high school is balding, getting fat, and getting complacent. In two years when it's reunion time, I want to be one of the few that has ascended beyond who they were when they were 18. I want to go from "Well, at least I'm not as bad as Anon" to "Man, I wish I was Anon"

So... passive aggressive vengence?

Bored. I genuinely think life is pointless, but I don't have the constitution for suicide. Video games don't entertain me as much as they used to.

I used to lift back in highschool when I played football, and remembered looking in the mirror for an hour or so looking at my progress, and criticizing it. So I'm doing that again.

Fuck TV, fuck vidya, fuck clubs and alcohol, fuck masturbation, fuck sex. I don't know what my aim is besides looking good, but at least I find some entertainment in what I do.

Look good in clothes.

Sex?
working out improves my sex life with my girlfriend, she works out too. it's good to use each other as inspiration


Bored?
videogames weren't what they used to be. working out and eating better made dealing with mental health issues that much easier. i feel accomlished after a good workout, im sure most of you do too.

Genuinely like doing it?
shit like cardio can get boring as fuck but for the most part it's pretty fun, especially swimming.

Athlete?
absolutely not, i played soccer when i was a kid and fucking hated it. i'm interested in hockey but i live in florida, so that shits out the window.
>>
I want to be better and try and avoid being a overweight statistic also it feels amazing and so does finally being noticed by girls I mean fuck I might lose my virginity tonight with the girl I always wanted.

hey dog you can do it, don't say you're going to "try". it's not impossible, you're going to do it.
>>
Don't really know why it this way, but since I was a kid I've always regarded "strongfat-25%bf-300kgdiddly-farmboy" as the ideal male aesthetic, so that's what I'm working towards. Currently at 110 kg and 6pl8 diddly, hopefully I'll make it before I get too old.

Because I lost half of my body's worth of weight without lifting and now my stomach looks like shit, so I lift on the off chance that maybe it'll fix itself over time. I just want to look okay with my shirt off, what a horrible mistake I've made.

You'll need surgery man. It probably won't ever go away.

t. anon who's lost 120lbs, has gyno and loose skin pretty much everywhere.
>>
>>39516960
1. Results motivate, a lot
2. Grills give me more attention than before
3. Random friends I've known for years have started commenting about me getting swole recently
4. The people at my gym are top tier bros who will help me with form from time to time
>>
>>39517970
Feels... but yeah this is it. Walking out of gym sweaty and pumped to meet the cool air. Nothing better
>>
>>39523540
I keep hearing this but really don't want to accept the reality of it. The surgery sounds painful, expensive, and includes lots of downtime apparently. I'm glad I'm skinnier now, but man does the prospect of surgery suck.

I want my kids to be better off than me, kids learn by watching. That makes my success(or the constant seeking of success) in every aspect of my life imperative.

Financially
Emotionally (with my wife)
Physically
Socially
Intellectually

All these kids nowadays saw shitty parental figures and said "well that didn't work so I'm gonna do something radically different"

Honest answer: alcoholism

After working out the anxiety goes away and my mind desires food and rest instead of drink.

She's a strong gal with a nice bod
Even though I've been with alot of girls this year (thanks /fit/) she's the only one i think about and the only one i havent been with.

I just workout as an excuse to be with her every day, more than just a few times a week.

I hate myself, maybe I will hate myself less when I am not skinny fag

i want to live my ideal life and being fit is one of the prerequisites

ideal life:

fit
handsome as fuark
good fashion sense
get bitches
eventually find a really fkn cute grill
travel
passive income
etc

If you want to be real, why lift when it's all about the face? I lift so I can break pencil necks like yourself, side effects being women want to touch my muscles and engage in meaningless conversation, my guess is to inquire about my relationship status and/or improve their personal social status by being seen chatting up a legit 8.5/10 like myself. If I had a dollar for everytime a Stacy came up to me at Starbucks and asked "is this table taken?" when it's fucking obvious I'm by myself, let alone not using 2 damn tables, I'd have enough money to send you 50mg of Arimidex (including P&H) to solve your estrogen problem. You belching vagina (this goes for everybody ITT)

I started long ago for girls.
After a failed suicide attempt I do it to better myself and keep depression at bay. I'm bipolar and stopping with working out and eating healthy is the first sign for a depressive episode for me. So asap I stop I let my friends, doctor and family know to keep an eye on me.
It works and prevents me to become suicidally depressed again.

>>39516986
Im 21 right now and this is exactly what i aspire to. Most people that i know, already stopped doing any form of sports.
One of my friends is doing parcour, but even he is getting fatter by the day.

I want to be 30 and be able to defy the odds. I don't want to end up like my parents, who are both obese and are probably going to die within the next ten years due to heart failure or something. I want to be better then that.

That is what keeps me going
>>
>>39526169
>>39516986
I'm 29 now and it always makes me laugh how many fatass, slovenly guys come up to me and say, 'I used to look like you'.

I just think to myself, yeah you definitely did not. Even IF you did nobody, gives a shit about what you USED to look like.

People hold on to some rose tinted view of what they were like in the past because they're too fucking lazy and content with being a weak fat shit to work for it.

We were never meant to sit on our asses all day and become weak and frail. Neither to we have to.
