I've been doing it out of spite. Been lifting for half a year now. I've definitely seem some improvements so that helps too. But what mainly motivates me is the satisfaction of seeing the jealous look on the faces of everyone who ever called me a loser. It's the same reason why I work so hard on getting good grades in my college classes. I want to be successful in all walks of life. Whenever I meet people from the past I want their faces to crease when they realise I look better and are way more successful than them.
What's your reasons?

For fun
To not be useless when I'm 60-80 years old

You have a toxic mentality, and any motivation rising from it will cease sooner or later.
I swim
1. To combat stress
2. To combat depression
3. To concentrate (student)
4. To not get a crooked back/neck
5. To experience the rush of aggression (heavily connected to 2.)
6. To be better at sex (not wheezing and having to support yourself on her tends to help)
7. To increase my chances of attracting girls in the first place
8. To reduce the risks of heart disease I inherited from my father
9. To generally be healthier at an old age
10. To be a role model to the sons I hope to have one day (this is gonna jump up to 1. if I ever actually have sons)

To carry big bags really far
I lift to keep my demons at bay (severe depression and anxiety). Without powerlifting, I probably would have killed myself 4 years ago. Lifting is the best medicine on this fucked up planet we call home.
(mostly in this order) It's fun, it feels good, it makes me look good, I like the people at my gym so I look forward to talking to them and sometimes lifting with them, I hope it'll help me find a qt gymbro (with benefits (if you know what I mean))

Memes tbqh.
It's a meme that was pushed on to me by a friend and therefore I do it and continue to do it.
it feels good to get stronger
my autist reason is that in the event of some kind of political upheaval/apocalyptic situation i'll be useful
