What do you lift for

>lifting for someone else
i will never understand this mentality
>>40524425
You lift for the idea of someone
>I like this girl
>should I talk to her?
>nah, better start waving heavy things up and down
>this will surely get me her
>>40524453
I know you think that was deep, but tbqh it makes even less sense.
>>40524403
I started lifting because my back was all fucked up.
Being big around women is big plus.
>>40524518
It makes plenty of sense desu
>>40524453
maybe im a narcissistic cunt but if someone doesnt give a shit about me if im not completely fit then i cant care about her and most likely it wont work anyway
>>40524403
girls do not care about your body.
if you can control their emotions you got them.
i lift and run so my body feels good.
I lift so i can fight demons.
I lift for myself.
>>40524403
i lift to one day hopefully attract a mate that will approach me because i don't have the balls to approach her
>>40524461
Mate you want that first impression of you to be a good one, it's easier to work with a girl you've already left snail trailing then to try and claw your way back by getting her to notice subtle changes in you
I lift for KP
one day i'm going to be her bf
>>40524697
They will, keep at it, you'll notice ones you aren't interested in first start approaching you, then finally ones you are interested in, keep on social media aswell my brother
>>40524713
or you could tell a funny joke
>>40524721
She's just perfect, i just want to be with her, cuddle, and all that, i know i must work hard for it, for her.
But it'll be worth it.
>>40524724
True jokes are a good way too
>>40524722
thanks bro
Sabina.
>>40524724
or you could do both and be even better than just barely good enough
>>40524750
cute
>>40524730
Although at the end of the day i know damm well nothing is going to happen, not only not with her, but anything at all, i'm 21 and never kissed anyone, noone has ever had interest in me.
But i can tell myself everyday before gym or going to sleep that KP is going to be my girlfriend, because at least for me she's prettiest woman ever and if nothing ever happens at least i was chasing the woman that i consider the best, the prettiest, the smartest and the most valuable woman in the world, i'll tell myself that i chew more than i should've done, but it'll be fine.
>>40524765
shes probably extremely average/ugly without makeup
>>40524403
I wanted to feel better about myself. Here's how it's gone so far:
>Be fat
>unhappy because I'm fat
>a year of losing weight
>only ever happy for a few seconds while I look at my new weight on the scale
>reach my goal weight
>unhappy because skeleton
>start lifting
>unhappy because weak
>make some progress
>unhappy because not enough progress
>several months pass
>make noticeable progress
>feel proud
>feel embarrassed because I'm proud of such a small amount of progress
>unhappy
That said, I haven't even thought about suicide since I started all of this. That alone is a big improvement. I feel like no matter how shitty my life or self-esteem is, I've put too much work in to just quit.
>>40524766
Even if you're right i don't care, i'm happy this way. Much better than trying my luck with someone else
>>40524751
tru
but what is the girl doing to make all that effort worth it
I lift because it feels good. I work a sedentary office job and without exercise I get stressed out and feel horrible. I also lift to look nice for my boyfriend, and he does the same.
>>40524403
I lift for 30F and above
>>40524750
>muzzie
>>40524797
While you're lifting for KP, chad's convinced her to have a threesome no condom.
>>40524403
>>40524403
For mental health. I need the high.
>>40524425
we THINK we're lifting for somebody else, and often times we are - at the beginning. but eventually something happens that redpills us into knowing that we were lifting for ourselves all that time.
we're all gonna make it
>>40524796
Chin up m8, you're going to make it
>>40524403
You lift for a no-butt with posterior tilt?
>>40525007
who is this smug little slut
>>40524721
>tfw I have qt Canadian gf who lifts & plays Sona support
Life's pretty good!
I lift for him.
>>40524827
>boyfriend
I'm constantly reminded I'm browsing /fit/
>>40524403
I lift because nature intends me to be strong. There is no other way. Lifting for someone else is infantile and you should leave your mother's house.
>>40524629
>he lifts to sort himself out
good lad
1/3
She is training for Ironman (and can basically already do it).
>>40524403
>I lift for an average slut
I work hard for my body, I wouldn't settle for someone who doesn't
3/3
Also, she is already mine.
>>40525628
Didn't this guys just get eviscerated by Sam Harris?
>>40524403
Reactions like that ....
>someday i may..
>>40524750
THICK
>>40525694
Nobody beat anyone out, they refused to agree on a definition of truth. Harris wanted to define it as a capital T airtight truth, Peterson wanted to define it as whatever belief was most effective for the person in question; ie. if I believe I'm attractive and interesting, and this belief makes me more confident and successful, then its 'true.' Pretty much a pragmatic definition of truth.
That all said, I'm defending Peterson because his lectures are fucking brilliant and really help you make sense of the world. Go watch them.
>>40524826
not being fat or a whore and raising your children?
I like the though of being able to snatch >100kg above my head
>>40525836
JBP is far and away the most patrician guy I've seen since waking the fuck up about the SJW shit. Glad to see you gags embrace him too
>>40525804
Don't say that. Sabina is a star player for team thinn.
>>40525312
Actual Canadian or passport "Canadian"?
>>40524721
>>40524730
>>40525312
>lifting for obvious trudeau supporters
lmao
>>40525007
a huge slut i hope to fuck one day. condom mandatory, sadly
>>40525917
>perfect body, face just ugly enough to look attainable
that's my fetish, anon
I lift to protect myself against the globalists.
>>40526277
it's not enough, anon. a globalist probably owns the gym you go to
>>40526277
why can't mccain into punctuation?
>>40524403
I like to channel spirits
Like if I read some awful shit in the news about a girl that died, I will lift in her honor, and if I fail then I have disrespected her spirit
I may have lost it 2bh
>>40524403
For her, though I know she will never be mine.
>>40525732
Because it's SUPREME
Why flex these gains when I can flex this bogo
To make my delusions of grandeur an honest self-assessment.
>>40526988
keked audibly
>>40526317
>literal cumstain on yoga pants
>>40526231
>>40527130
Hot.
I lift so that I have the strength to protect myself, fend off anything that threatens my family and loved ones, and to die knowing that I spent my life striving for greatness.
I lift for the 'mirin. Its fucking great when I catch people looking at the gym or in public when im wearing right fitting t-shirt.
>>40524629
I listen to his lectures and videos while I lift
>>40527915
*unsheathes katana*
I lift to not hate myself
So I can slam that stem.
Last time I tried anything resembling aero position on my bike I kept kicking my gut with my knees and my lower back was killing me 15 minutes into the ride.
>>40526317
Yeah me too, i've never understood these 'who do you lift for' threads for the short year i've been on /fit/ but after seeing her I understand.
>>40524796
keep at it m8, we're all gonna make it
>>40526277
i hope you have a filter on your protien shaker
>>40524403
I wish she was still alive so she could admire my achievement.
>spend all my time hitting the books and lifting
>going to be the most /fit/, selfish economist in the world
>>40531177
>currently listening to Hannah Arendt while working out
>going to get /fit/ and moderate your ridiculous and unrealistic fashy politick
>>40530858
fuck me my sides
>>40525836
>Peterson wanted to define it as whatever belief was most effective for the person in question
How does he reconcile this with being famous mainly for
>please call me "her", I'm trans
>No.
>>40524629
The prophet Peterson is inspirational af
>>40527334
>not being inspired by hitler
The dude killed it, for better or worse.
>>40526317
Every thread.
>>40524403

>>40524724
If I wanted a funny joke I would ask your 1 rep maxes
Saluto Nex Alea Ave Nex Alea
>>40524403
Myself naturally. Is there any other person suited to ascend to the height of humanity? I think not.
>>40524403
Is that the loch ness monster?
>yup
>>40526194
>2017
>being unironically conservative
Apotheosis.

For my gf and for my kids in the future.
Was tired of being skelly so mostly for myself, and for you /fit/
Lift so I can pick her up/man handle her in bed
So I don't throw my back out as an adult and be an embarrassment as a father
So I can look back on how I looked and wonder why I didn't start sooner
And I love having random dudes in current body threads admire my ass, muh confidence boost
i was molested as a child, and although i know it wont happen to me again bc im an older guy now, subconsciously i always had the idea that if i was bigger it wouldnt have happened
I lift to get a qt3.14 ginger gf to live in the woods with.
>>40530834
what's her name?
>>40535154
moosefix
>>40524425
I am a scrawny 6'4'' dude but in my mind I see myself ass this buff dude. Instead of changing how I want to see myself, I just change the way I look to match the vision I have for myself.
>>40524403
I life because I feel that I was born with great looks and genetics.
Not lifting means that I'm not reaching my peak physical potential and therefore doing an injustice to the gifts that I was born with.
I balance this with striving for success in every other aspect of my life. My relationships are great, my intelligence is on point and growing, and my career success is only getting better by the day.
>>40524629
I also lift so I can fight demons.
>>40524425
I started out lifting to impress others. Now I lift because it makes me feel good, and as I've gotten in better shape I've almost completely stopped giving a fuck what other people think. Lifting is the best thing to ever happen to me desu.
