Hey /fit/ Got any deep or personal reasons why you started lifting?

I lift to relieve my anger. Getting stronger and seeing tangible proof of improvement is fun too.

>deep or personal reasons why you started lifting?

PERSONALly, I wasn't getting any of dat DEEP pussy if you catch my drift son

My friends made fun of me my junior year of high school (Secondary) because i was fat. I worked out until i was 19 (4 years ago) and got pretty big (190 23% body fat to 210 12% body fat). Motivation? To kick my friends ass because he called me fat everyday for 2 years, which happened 2 months after i reached my goal. Feels good man.

i want to be a sexy son of a bitch. deep reasons for lifting are overrated. you can be intelligent and vain at the same time

My parents were welfare drug addicts and alcoholics and raised me on burgerking and pasta with butter in it.

That translated to me hitting puberty with no real knowledge or care to maintain or improve my body when i needed it most. Resulted in me attaining gyno and absolutely disgusting frumpy autist body until about age 20 when i was sick of it.

Still had no knowledge of what i was doing, i proceeded to eat nothing but 1400 cal of wendys chicken nuggets and chilli for 3 months straight. Went from 180 to 138. Went from frumpy autist body to skinny fat autist body. Also git a gf at about this time.

After attaining gf, we fucked our diets because of my lack of nutritional knowledge and we both got fat. My body ached ask the time and my legs rubbed together. I broke down crying to her one day venting about being set up through life for failure by parents who never bothered aiming for anything good in their lives. I decided to break the cycle.

I joined the YMCA near my house in 2013, started browsing this board, read the sticky, and got to work.

Due to this board never having a consensus on how to train, i spent 3 years on and off squatting atg, eating at a cut and frustrating myself that i remain dyel and can't bench more than 115lb.

So i said fuck it and just ate everything in sight for 8 months. Bulked up to 189lb, and saw all my lifts skyrocket. Stopped squatting halfway through because it really was a meme. Once i hit prs i aimed for i stopped, cut back down to 160 naturally, and then hopped on dnp down to 143.5lb. now I'm starting my second bulk. Mainly upper body work and some legs every once in a while. About to start a membership to a rock climbing gym down the road and get done forearm and back gains. Things are looking way more aesthetic. Still have gyno though.

>squats are a meme

Never gonna make it (past what you've already done)

I was addicted to cocaine and hated my life.

So I quit everything. Cigarettes, weed, coke. I even try to severely limit sugar.

Took up lifting and running, went back to school and I've never been happier.

I suppose it's not exactly profound or deep or anything. I hated who I was so I changed it.

It's astonishing how many people have trouble with understanding how easy it really is to change. You just fucking do it.

This. I don't even get why vanity is supposed to be bad. How you look is the most important aspect in an evolutionary sense, it only makes sense that you'd wanna look your absolute best.

Some people just have it. Most people tell themselves they can't do anything so they never try.

I just wanted to dominate twinks
