Why does it matter?

>>39883664
I've seen people here who enjoy this more than their actual jobs or lives.
And they seem to know a lot of shit, and never seem to take interest into becoming a personal/fitness trainer or opening up a gym or becoming a physical therapist or smth.

They are literally over educating themselves on something that will never pay back since all they use it for is posting it back here.

My wife took off and me being fat and out of shape was one of the biggest reasons. Now after getting better looking I want her to see me banging sluts much hotter than her as a sort of petty revenge because I thought it was a shallow reason to leave rather than just telling me that I was becoming a fat shit and working on our problems like adults are supposed to in a marriage.

Outside of that, after I started getting better looking and in better shape I've noticed that literally every part of my life has improved because of it. Learning new things is easier, I don't sweat as much, I can do physical things like mountain biking with my buds and not feel like I'm holding them back, I get a shit load of attention from the opposite sex now, and people (men and women both) treat you much better if you look better. Your opinions are taken more seriously, you look more professional, you can wear clothes that actually fit,

It also helps you if you're depressed. Helps you from falling back into a depression as well.

Lost 60lbs in 4months and I've never felt or looked better, and everybody tells me that I look great now because of that. Just a few more lbs to 170 and I can really start my path to making it %100.

Many reasons, one of the most potent ones however is that I want to test out a theory.

The theory that we do not have souls, that testosterone drastically changes the thinking in men, and that through exercise and proper maintenance of the body, I can think like an imperialistic person from 200 years ago.

I wish to see if it is possible to break free from the civilizational cycle. Through a manipulation of the evolutionary forces that govern it.

If I didn't take the time to learn about this stuff then I never would have accomplished shit. I actually hate working out, but I love the way it makes me feel. Why wouldn't I spend some time learning about the body and how to exercise when it does so much for you? I don't spend 8 hours a day here, but I enjoy the community on /fit/ and there are some pretty interesting or funny threads as well.

It's only a waste of time if you see it that way. Not any worse than people watching tv or playing video games, etc.

You can apply that mindset to anything.
Why learn to mountain bike? It's just a waste of time.
Why practice kayaking if you won't ever really use it?

It's what I enjoy, and fitness is just lumped into that group.

if you separate working out from the shit show that is /fit/ then you get a pretty good thing

working out
>makes you feel good
>good for mental health
>good for physical health
>helps improve confidence
>gets you out the house

when i first met my gf she was a barely recovering anorexic, she was really uncomfortable with food and hated her body and her mental health was all over the place

I didn't really do that much to help, but my knowledge of food and nutrition, and the power of endorphines from working out, plus the fact that working out and eating right gives you some control over your body has literally given her the way out of anorexia

As long as you keep the broader picture of why you work out and care about this stuff (for your own good, not just to get swole or get mad bitches) it's only a positive thing in your life

>double digit IQism

Not even double.

90% of /fit/ waste their precious time on lifting and reading about lifting instead of actually improving their lives

it's a well known fact

Because, unless you're famous as fuck, it's a shit job that pays worse than driving a garbadge truck.

That's called a hobby.
You're asking Warhammer players why they don't own a store or a job in engineering.
You're asking weeaboos why they don't work in animation.

Why the fuck would I pursue a career in my hobby? Working with mediocre lifters or fail-prone fatties would drain my soul in less than a year. I'd start to hate what makes me smile. It'd be like impregnating every stripper in the club.

I'm finishing medical school in May and going into pediatrics, considering pursuing a pediatric sports medicine fellowship after that. I like MSK and training shit.
