Isn't lifting an empty goal?

Srs. I love lifting 4+ times a week, doing my cardio and piece by piece build an aesthetic and healthy physique but I can't help but feel...unsatisfied. I'm not actually training FOR anything, yet I'm doing deadlifts, kb circuits, sprints and all sorts of shit with no fucking end goal in mind.

Is it worth it to just train for the fuck of it? Should I take on a sport or martial art or something so I can actually DO something besides listen to metal and bench?

I'm trying not to sink into autism and become a bald Powerlifter with a goatee, pls help me /fit

Then DO something.

Atm i supplement my judo/bjj game with some olympic weightlifting on the side.

Pick a sport that doesnt require you to be a genetic freak and stick to it. You'll feel much better i promise
>>
>>40012004
Maybe try oly lifting. It's harder, and then you can compete eventually. Besides with oly lifting you won't become a bald powerlifter with a goatee.
>>
What? You're doing that stuff to have a healthy and aesthetic and strong body.

Also you're supposed to be progressively overloading, or maintaining and lowering bodyfat percentage.

If you're just going to the gym and aimlessly lifting and aimlessly eating randomly then that's what you feel like it's pointless. You're not even doing it properly, just randomly lifting stuff.

Lifting and dieting properly has far better progression opportunities than just playing some weekend shitty sports with some skinnyfat normalfags.

The journey is more important than the destination.

You are developing concentration, patience, discipline, resolve, and confidence. Lifting imparts benefits to your mental health as well, improving clarity and mood.

It is your obligation to continue to improve yourself. Every day, you are becoming better, not only physically, but spiritually.

Start mirin yourself in the mirror more bruh. Put a few points into narcissism and it all becomes very worth it.

Of course narcissism requires some self confidence which is in short supply on this board so maybe it won't work for you.

I'd say it is as empty as living. You don't specifically live for anything do you? Think of it like a price of being a bit better than the rest of the population.

I mean you said you like doing it no? You are just feeling a bit down that is all. Being fit became a routine for you. Now try to look for another hobby while maintaining this routine.

That's my advice. Take it or leave it.
>>
>>40012004
I see the problem here. You only lift 4 times a week. Up it to 6 times
>>
>>40012004
Felt the exact same way. I started a hybrid routine and began training for planche and front lever. Feels good to have an end goal
>>
>>40012004
Is being healthy and having the best quality of life,respect, discipline, long expectancy of life,+ a ton of other benefits not enough? I better go back to diabetes and hypertention cuz lifting takes too much time and it's not worth it. Bro

Don't do oly lifting if you like having a descent physique.

Now you realise /fit/izens lift because they are unsatisfied with their life, and hope that a mystical change will come if they lift hard enough. Yes, it is empty, because the whole lifting culture is based on narcissism and insecurity. Switch to sports. Healthier, more fun, and you get to meet cool happy people.

As a former fatty, I've started to view lifting as fulfilling in itself, much like a religious person may view prayer. I know how stupid that sounds, but as a former 400+ lb. person, I feel like I've been saved.
I go to my church (the gym) daily.
I eat a restricted diet.
I try to help those with their lifting/diet questions who ask.

It's basically a religion for me.

All olympic lifters have aesthetic physiques unlike powerlifters

>>40012004
>If you spy on me ill kill you bitch

Then start lifting for something else, either to move heavier weight (powerlifting, weightlifting) or something more specific (crossfit, strongman). Or just pick up a sport and lift for that, just find something you enjoy and git gud.
>>
>>40012004
If it makes you feel better OP, I hereby award you your purple belt in lifting. BOW TO YOUR SENSEI!
