In all honesty, /fit/, why do YOU lift?

To not get winded every morning walking to the top of the hill my university is built on.

>>40567725
because i want to deadlift 8pl8 (405lbs)

After I lift my erections are much bigger. I like the way my dick looks when I'm taking a shower after the gym.

So someone might like me physically.

Does anyone ever get this right?

Because I don't have any real life aspirations and hope that I'll be able to become something in the """"fitness"""" industry. If not that or if I never open my own gym, probably kill myself.

>>40567742
Really? My dick is always super shriveled after I work out, it's embarrassing in the showers.

I'm gonna make a pasta out of this someday

1.You should incorporate some exercise in your lifestyle (I chose lifting).
2. There is tremendous health benefits with just exercising ranging from physical to mental health improvement.
3.I look strong, I feel strong. It's fun not being a weakling and being able to help out with manly duties like carrying heavy shit.
4.Healthy people (combine this with well-groomed) are generally more attractive than unhealthy people and that's just basic biology.
5.Lifting bigger and bigger is like leveling up in a video game. You feel your character (but in this case it's you) getting stronger and stronger with more weight.

Overall it's amazing what just a single hour of gym time can do to improve your life.

It's not a panacea, but it's a good way to strengthen your foundations.

>>40567739
Isn't that 4pl8?

>>40567837
Yes he was looking for replies, that's why he specified 405

Because I want to look and feel better, it's the only thing that is making me happy in life. I'm a huge fucking loser and lifting makes me feel like im doing something productive.

The class "Chad" in my class was buff and I hated him for being attractive and buff. So bought gym membership to spite him and get the slots. After a while befriend Chad and become close friends even after class I meet him is finished. After a while I lose interest because of laziness. After a while do it for grills and aesthetics then lose interest after a few months. On and off for 3 years. not really making any solid gains but at least learning the in's and out's of lifting to the point I feel comfortable in gym setting. After heartbreak and not lifting for a one year of sorrow I decide to lift for myself in all honesty. So be a badass MOFO and improve myself and let the rewards (grills, aesthetics, etc come second to my strength) 4 months finished as of end of Feb and looking to make this month great too.(hopefully cause finals making it hard for me) I think I become more dedicated now and will not loose tracking this time around.

You have a small window for elite athletic fitness age 14 to 38 maybe, it's worth pursuing just for fun. Lifting makes you more explosive and powerful, it's a foundation to every other movement and motion you undertake with your body.

It is, Chris Duffin did an 880 pound squat at 220 pounds bodyweight.

>>40567767
This so much.

>>40569889

It's really unfortunate because it discourages novices who think they're failing for not getting gains that'd be unlikely even on gear.
There's also the fact that a LOT of people on /fit/ whose form is complete shit, so you have a lot of people who are sincere when they say "lmao I was DLing 2pl8 on my first week", but they end up in the hospital with two herniated discs soon after.

Because in Australia almost everyone lifts, so I need to lift to attract girls unless I can get them with the ol' "good personality" trick

I lift as a supplement to my other forms of physical conditioning including running, swimming, and rucking so I become better at killing people and less likely to get killed myself

Also I want to do an ironman someday

>>40569679
I was reading this as sets x reps.
Was like wtf is the point of doing 5 sets of 200 reps.

Would be kind of neat to do too. Kek.

>>40569634
405 per side is 9pl8

I lift because my ex gf asked if my chest was getting bigger once and I could tell it turned her on.

So...maybe she won't be my ex forever.

>>40569977
I unironically pulled 2pl8 on first week with shit form

Was 84kg bodyweight by then,couldnt squat 1pl8 and i was benching half pl8

Well I like the way how muscular body looks. I basically couldn't stand being DYEL. Simply put I wasn't happy with myself, I wanted to be 'more'.

On top of that I enjoy the thought of looking 'impressive'. I want to be the guy in uni wearing t-shirt who other's glance at and think "damn".

And I couldn't care less if some humanist dyel thinks I'm shallow.

5xbw DL?

I don't think this is possible m8. I was at about a 3x BW DL and that is a ton of weight for ones size.

How about you kiss a cute girl first like the rest of the normal population has achieved, then worry about being a literal fucking god.

>>40569679
also, 11s 100m pretty easy to get.

21s 200m/46s 400m? No. Not with all those other lifts either, unless you did them in high school then roided like fuck afterwards with perfect genes. Shit I'm not gonna even lie to you. You'll never get a 5xbw DL. What kind of made man are you?

>>40567725
Because I hate being flabby and weak. Also helps that my gf likes it that I lift

>>40567725
I'm weak, always have been.
I feel like I don't deserve to be assertive, confident, or happy until I am strong.

I want to be loved

Because I am sad and lonely. I hope looks will help solve that one day because Im a train wreck in thr rest of my life. At least I might find love maybe?

For my mental health. It forces me to leave the house and get endorphins going. If i don't lift i just stay inside and get into a funk that can downspiral fast.

OK, think about it this way. What if a literal 10/10 girl texted you and said "Let's fuck"? If you would say no you are absolutely retarded, even gay guys would fuck a 10/10 girl just to say they did. So why is it different when girls say yes to a 10/10 guy asking them to fuck?
