kind of want to get "what a disgrace it is..." or something tattooed on my upper arm/bicep as a mantra/reminder kind of thing re: this quote. I think it might look cool if i get in done in old greek

>>41688523

you have extraordinarily bad tastes in tattoos.

>>41688537
it's just an idea thats been bouncing around in my head for a bit. I cut like 100+ lbs and turned my life around and it's just something that really resonates with me

Is this all you guys have? I need moar to prep for the gym tomorrow

>>41688692
`are you following a program? I find the best "motivation" is just having something set to do

i was watching a vid on youtube of some guy working out and somebody asked him why he was doing 5x8 or 3x12 on bench or some weird ass rep scheme and he just responded "well, thats what the program says"

personally, i think about that alot when im questioning a workout. The program calls for it, so i'm going to do it

>>41688719
I'm doing SS because I am an absolute beginner to gym workouts and fitness in general. Currently I'm an underweight skelly and I want to look into more well rounded programs that engage me more often. Beginner stuff usually means it's easy to get into and will provide decent gains but I want maximum gain efficiency no matter how hard it is. SS seems to be the go-to for /fit/ so in the meantime I'm using it as a way to familiarize myself with the gym setting, but I definitely want to do more.

>>41687582

This one really gets me for some reason.

Real talk, how do you get motivated to lift for yourself, I'd say I'm more interested in lifting to look good for girls.

>>41688745
Good stuff.

>>41689563
Do you really need a reason? I just do to do it. Maybe I am just autistic, but who isn't here on /fit/.

>>41689563
if you dont have a lot of experience w/ girls nothing will probably change your motivations. i think once you get kind of good w/ girls and that part of your life isnt a problem anymore it becomes easier. you realize its not all that impressive or fun to just bag randos all the time and you start looking for something else to fill that hole inside yourself. if youre smart you realize that you need to get validation from yourself and thats it and thats when the motivation comes easy

>>41688552

could you translate "what a disgrace it is" into Modern and Ancient Greek

thanks in advance!

>>41693341
Modern Greek- Τι ατίμωση είναι
Ancient Greek- Τι ἀτίμωσις ἐστί

I saw that this quote is nowhere to be found in Greek though. In Greece we most usually use
" νοῦς ὑγιής ἐν σώματι ὑγιεῖ " which is the most recognisable Ancient Greek quote and means "A healthy mindy is required for a healthy body"
and by Socrate's most famous quote in Greece about body is "Σωμάτων θυληνομένων kαι αἱ ψυχαί πολύ ἀσθενέστεραι γίγνονται" Which is Ancient Greek as well and means "Weak bodies make for weak souls" . The two quotes I told you are well known and recognisable, and the spelling is correct, the one by Socrates that is posted in this thread in english may as well be fake because I can't find it in Greek anywhere.

>>41693441

lol 4chan doesn't recognise the Greek k which is shorter and more square-ish, if you use my quote make sure to get the k right

>>41693474
no, this one is very complex .I can get it translated but it will be like it was said by a toddler, rather than a quote with the complex grammar and syntax used by the ancient philosophers, and I don't want you to look like a fool with it.

>>41693838
Protip; heat water, pour into deciliter cup, let cool for a bit, but in a few pinches of salt, put into freezer, let freeze, take out and massage your face gently with it (especially the most critical places). Helps to reduce swelling and cleanses lightly. Other than that, benzoyl peroxide works great.

But really, people think aboit it a lot less than youd think and its very character developing to not give a fuck about it when it breaks out. Treat it as best as you can but don't let it get to your head too much
All the best

>>41697892
http://www.startbodyweight.com/p/start-bodyweight-basic-routine.html

Heres the better laid out explanation for it. Basically, you have 6 exercises that you do 3x8 of each. Start with the variation of each that you can do 3x8 of, and workout3 times a week(Ex: Monday/Wednesday/Friday)The variations at the top are the easiest, and get harder the lower you go on that chart. When you can easily do 3x8 of a certain exercise, move up to the next hardest on your next workout day.

>>41697966
Er, looks like it's been updated to 4x8 now, which is good because you need a bit more volume to make gains with bodyweight.

Don't know if this counts as motivation but when I sweat I have to poo. It makes it really hard to work out when i get all sweaty, because then I have to poo really bad. Sometimes I dehydrate myself so I don't have to sweat and thus the poopy feeling is gone.

Im in your exact shoes anon. Except i started benching heavier, doing more pushups, running more, biking, just doing more than necessary. And ive seen better results. My pecs are more muscular, and my gut has thinned a bit. My arms are bigger and my face is slimmer.
Im still disgusted when i look at myself. Not because im ugly, but because i know i can do better. Almost every day i let myself down, i disappoint MYSELF. Well im fucking done. Im so fucking done. I can be better. My progress is slow but i will fucking get there i promise all of you that. Im not kidding when i say everybody doubts me. Im training to be a firefighter and every day my own mother tells me i cant do it. My father calls me a disappointment. I see it in peoples expressions, they doubt me. But i will fucking make it, out of spite god damnit. And if im going to hurt physically and mentally every day to make it, you fucking will too. Dont fucking give up anon.

The path of the lifting man s beset on all sides by the iniquities of half squatters and the tyranny of HAES. Blessed is he who, in the name of functional strength, coaches beginners in proper form and programming, for he is truly his bro's spotter, and the reformer of recovering CrossFitters.

You don't seem to understand. Laziness is not a headache, and there is no simple solution or cure you just haven't found for it. Laziness is your fate. It's what you deserve.
You will never, amount to more than a pathetic slob, barely surviving in this world with nothing accomplished and nobody to remember you when you die. You will have changed nothing and left the world no better than when you came into it. You are erased from the universe entirely. Laziness is not an enemy or an obstacle, but rather the fate of those who do not understand that they are wasting their lives, only to wake up one day on their deathbed and suffer the regret of their "laziness", all before it's too late.
The universe does not care if you sit in a chair and drink beer all day, which is why so many people do. It changes nothing and therefore is easy. Success on the other hand is difficult, because you are actively changing your role in the history of everything, and should you work hard enough, you will be remembered forever.
So go ahead and do nothing - blame your mild exhaustion on the blanket term of "laziness" and allow you and everything you could have achieved in your short time on this planet to be lost in time.

Whenever I catch myself thinking...

* I can't do ____ . Or
* I'll never ____ .

...add a "yet" to the end of the sentence.

>>41704822

"If I feel that I am going to be successful then I will be"
vs
"I accomplished something so I feel good about it"

Both of these situations make you feel the same, but only one actually accomplished an action. Feelings are temporary, which means you should disregard them in favor of task fulfilment.

Aaaah I know the story but I have no screencap, sorry.

>>41689563
I used to be blatantly average in body type and strength and pulled a few women here and there, presumably average amounts. I ended up getting a testicular torsion, had to get surgery and lost 30 lbs as my recovery time was insanely long. I'm an above average looking guy in the face, reasonably between a 7 or 8 but after I recovered and could walk on my own again I was as pale and skinny as a skele and couldn't pull any women at that point. Face also looked sunken in so that didn't help. That was about a year and a half ago. I went from 110 body weight up to 163 as of today. I've slept with 18 different women in the past 5 months multiple times. Last week I cut ties with all of them because I just have no interest anymore. Women are overrated friend, lift for confidence, health, strength, aesthetics, becauze you're bored. Literally anything besides women. Because there's always more poon out there if you feel horny one night.

All the other replies are good, I'd add one thing.

Invest in a good set of gymnastic rings. You don't have to get insanely good at gymnastic skills, but you'd be amazed how much muscle you can put on your upper body with just ring dips and pull ups.

"As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

“Well,” he said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size of rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were."

Ya no. People who lift for external reasons fail. If you would rather lift weights for a girl than lift weights for yourself you've got priority issues and you'll never make it faggot. You obsess about some girl to the point where your life is nothing but an obsession on how you can get her. What kind of girl wants a pussy ass bitch who can't live his own life, is motivated by obsession and not interested in the first place?

Read some books
Hit the gym

You are the reason why you should lift. If you can't even learn to enjoy yourself how is anyone else gonna?

It is said that there are four kinds of horses: excellent ones, good ones, poor ones, and bad ones. The best horse will run slow and fast, right and left, at the driver’s will, before it sees the shadow of the whip; the second best will run as well as the first one does, just before the whip reaches its skin; the third one will run when it feels pain on its body; the fourth will run after the pain penetrates to the marrow of its bones. You can imagine how difficult it is for the fourth one to learn how to run!

When we hear this story, almost all of us want to be the best horse. If it is impossible to be the best one, we want to be the second best. That is, I think, the usual understanding of this story...here, however, there is a misunderstanding...If you practice in the right way it does not matter whether you are the best horse or the worst one.

When you are determined to practice...you will find the worst horse is the most valuable one. In your very imperfections you will find the basis for your firm, way-seeking mind...those who find great difficulties in practicing will find more meaning in it. So I think that sometimes the best horse may be the worst horse, and the worst horse can be the best one.

If you study calligraphy you will find that those who are not so clever usually become the best calligraphers. Those who are very clever with their hands often encounter great difficulty after they have reached a certain stage. This is also true in art and it is true in life.

He does enjoy his work though, and he's proud of his family, and he stands up for himself and his family when necessary.
He was a fine dad, and I appreciate him, but we have nothing in common and really haven't since I was a little kid, so we're cordial with one another but we don't talk that much.

You don't get it. The four horses know how to run, they just learnt differently. The best one learnt easily, the worst one needed to feel pain in order to learn to run. They're not best/worse horses but best/worst in learning to run.
The worst one had to suffer more, but it will help him greatly in his life. The best one learnt easily, but will have a hard time when he will encounter (for the first time) difficulty later in life.
Two lessons then: you can learn to run, no matter how hard it is; being shit at something a long time then being good at it later is a good indicator of a strong character, and that will translate into any other activity.

To add on this, the other side of it is that, there are the "horses" that "never run" at all because they believe that they aren't the best horse and running is painful for them, so what's the point? I think we all know some "horses" like this, maybe even ourselves in certain things.

The other point is that the activity itself is, in a sense, irrelevant and so is proficiency in that activity--that is, internally. The best horse will learn to run quickly and easily and will be admired by all around him, but because it has been easy, internally, despite his genius, he has gained nothing.

The worst horse, by the very fact that running is difficult and painful, at each smallest advance he has gained something inside and because he was able to bear that pain, the practice settles down to the marrow of his bones--even if externally, his progress was slow, in the long run he will have gained more for it then the best horse.

Where the fuck did you get that from? Kierkegaard's dad started out as being poor, but BECAME rich. Who in his family was suffering from "illness or circumstance" that he could have helped? When did I ever indicate that one should allow loved ones to suffer like that? Don't be stupid.
