I actually started lifting because I wanted to be as strong as Bud Spencer since my childhood, I actually never started for women and didn't continue for women.

Since I started using Tinder. You all know that "Women are not interested in your Muscles" stuff? Yeah, complete Bullshit, I have in my profile zero text and just me shirtless, I have 10 Matches per week, 90% from women with the following text in their profiles "I don't search for an ONS", yeah, sure you don't, I'm sure you liked my profile because of my charming personality.

I didn't start for women, but since I 100% know that EVERY woman LOVES muscular men, I can't blame the guys who does that since beginning.

Because I am an overcompensating 5'6 turbo manlet, not even kidding. I get slightly more respect now that I weigh more than a 14 year old boy.

The whole you should only be ottermode if you are a manlet meme is so retarded, as a manlet you are already small, just be lean and try to get as big as possible.

Would've lifted even if I was tall though, muscles are cool and it is fun

Super low self esteem and suicidal thoughts. Working out helps me feel better and now it's actually gotten me to a place where I can look in a mirror and feel better about myself.

I love this board. I would never tell anyone this stuff in real life, but it feels good to just say it to strangers on the internet.

>>41961153
I started lifting because I was tired of being a cross country skelly who was ashamed to stand next to my incredibly aesthetic manlet friend
I continued lifting because I got fucking addicted to progression, and I gained 80lbs over 4 years, at around 17% body fat (4 pack abs)
I fell off lifting because I had to work 2 very demanding jobs and I did freelance work to pay for my final semester of college
I've gotten back into lifting because I work in a sunless office and half my coworkers are fat fucks. I saw a picture of my "one that got away" ex with her fitness model boyfriend and realized I'm a shadow of my former self. being fit and tan and dressing well makes people respect you leaps and bounds more.

Started because my girlfriend cheated on me sophomore year of uni, wanted to make myself look good so she regrets it every time I post shirtless pics on insta.

>>
>>41963180
Hammer curls and benching.
Most of the size of your arm is gonna come from the big tris you get when you bench a lot.
My tris make my 'ceps look small on some angles so I have to do a lot of curls to even it out.
Hammer curls work the best for me.
Arms like frequency so throw in a couple of sets of curls or close-grip bench after you've completed the days workout.
You don't want to go hard on these bonus sets, they're there to get blood pumped into your arms and leaving the gym with a sick arm pump.
>>
>>41962518
I'm in the same boat. Did it help you?
>>
>>41963180
>>41963283
isn't me, but his advice is solid

bench and bench variants with decent volume 3x a week go a long way in building the triceps, add in some direct work and you should be good (I like LTEs for moderate reps, and pushdowns for high reps with a ton of volume)

as far as biceps go, they are a very fatigue resistant muscle that can handle a lot of frequency and volume, so do a curl variant every session (same goes for side delts, rear delts - right now I do 4x10-12 of a curl variants, side raises, and rear delt raises supersetted at the end of each bench day)
>>
>>41963397
>>41963283
i disagree with the "don't go hard" thing, though, working biceps is so minimally fatiguing and they recover so quick that you can go apeshit for a few sets and not suffer any consequences at all other than a disgusting pump that feels like your arms are about to explode
>>
>>41961872
Are you, yet?
>>
>>41963407
I only say that because I came a little too close to pulling or tearing my 'cep when I was pushing myself through a preacher curl.
I felt an acute burning sensation throughout one of the last reps and got scared.
The pain went away after a few days but going ham on isolations is something I don't really like doing.

I think I owe /fit/ to continue this journey since you guys backed me up on bad times.
Now my ex is fucking up her life and I keep improving mine. Maybe all of this is vanity and bitterness but I don't care.

probably helps with motivation

real: it doesnt matter why you lift. the reason for why you lift will be less important to you some days and more important other days. some days you wont care at all about women (in the example where you lift for women). you might not want to lift on a day like that.

what matters is discipline. getting to the gym no matter how you feel and busting your ass and moving heavy shit, rain, shine, blues, highs.

godspeed nerds.

Because I'm going to have a kid.

I love my father to death, the most intelligent and charming man I've ever known, but he's always been fat and looks super weak (he's also a turbo manlet).

>What made you start lifting?
I haven't. I'm terrified of gaining fat during a bulk since I lose facial gains way too fast.
>>
>>41964801
nigga, then don't gain weight as fast as you lose it. half pound of weight gain a week, about half of that being fat, and you'll be fine.
150lbs @ 10%bf, half pound of weight gain a week, = 26lbs gain in a year.
lbm: 135lbs->148
fat:15->28
bf%: 10% -> 16%
it'd take only a couple months to get back down to 10-12%, and you usually get most of the difference in jaw definition going from 16-20% down to 12-14% depending on genetics
>>
>>41965038

i think the point is to lift as a distraction to focus on that also requires you to eat and sleep well. this makes you feel better and then confidence slowly sets in allowing you to actually do something you want to. i mean, my autismal tendencies plateaued me at the 'lift to forget' phase but that's what i imagine most normal minded people do.

I have a connective tissue disorder and all my joints hurt since my mid/late teens. Also have that caved in chest so I can never be aesthetic. In college I met a professor who had the same thing I do. He suggested running because that helped him keep his joints tight and it prevented the pain. I couldn't run because of my chest and reduced lung capacity (60% of normal for someone of my size). So I met a bro and he taught me all the compound barbell movements. Now I train strongman.

As a lanklet natty female the gains are absolutely non-existential so it's not a look thing really. Sure I look "toned" but not muscular really, at least unless having a pump.

I quite honestly just lift for health reasons and cause I enjoy it and there has nothing been any other reasons behind lifting and sports for me. Its a healthy way to spend my freetime and endorphins makes me feel good. Not into men so I don't lift for male attention.
>>
Always wanted to be a strong manly man when I was a kid. Because it's endemic to me at this point. It's meditation and training to get stronger at the same time

I just want to go in the opposite direction modern society is heading to, so I can be an example for my millenial brothers. To look like my gender is supposed to look like, despite the ongoing environmental harassment.

I dont want to bang sloots, I'll make love to a girl I actually want to be my wife. Bring back morality, modesty, conservationism. My dad is quite pathetic in the liberal sense so I had to become my own dad/big brother.
>>
I've posted the story before, but tl:dr version is that my dad contracted lymes disease and his body is slowly falling apart. I feel I would be a disgrace if I didn't push my body to it's limit, because currently I am without pain. That's what motivates me right now and made me serious about lifting all over again. But back in HS I started lifting because my oneitis cheated on me.

>>41961153

Started because
1. I was sick of feeling depressed and lame.
2. My dad had 20" arms and a 52" chest when I was a kid. He's still a big, glorious bastard at 55. I can't help but compare myself to him, and I'm too competitive to accept second place.
3. I want to be the best me I can be. I don't want to look back on my life and realize I squandered my potential.

Keep at it because I enjoy it. I like what fitness does for me, I like how it feels, and I like pushing myself.

Pathetic beta faggot... I'll waste as little time on you and have my say.

1. Start tomorrow.

3. If you unironically care about what others think about you when you go to the gym and try your best you're never gonna make it.

Sign up, get a routine ready today and lift tomorrow or leave and become a skinnyfat loser. Your call.

You're a mongoloid who doesn't understand diet. Your face is puffy at 72kg because you gained 0 kg muscle and almost only fat, you dumb idiot.

>>
>>41968043
Don't wait. Here's the thing. If you go regularly, how can they laugh at you? The only thing someone can laugh at is improper form or made up fictional excercises that aren't even real. Seriously, if you go to the gym with discipline and never skip, no one can laugh at you, as you're actually making an effort to improve.

The first time I see a fat or chubby person in the gym, or a boney skinny person in the gym, I might stare a bit subconsciously because it's common to stare a bit like that, but I never do anything mean. But if I see them there many times in a row or commonly over a long time, I don't care anymore, i gain some respect for them and conclude with that they are actually gonna make it.

tldr laughing at someone who comes in once and is never seen again is normal, but mean as fuck. laughing at someone who comes in regularly makes YOU look like a fucking asshole

Because I became a fat fuck due to a depression after a re-occuring psychosis (bipolar fag) and wanted something to force myself off the couch and get fit again.

Because I made some okay progress after a while just doing crappy machine work and eating a bit better.. After a while I noticed kinda plateau'd and started researching how to eat properly and actually get stronger. Now I've just started a new compound program and realized it's way more fun and beneficial than just boring-ass machine work. :)

Women, basically

I was a fat fuck throughout most of my childhood, middle school and high school, and seeing all the normies get together while girls pretty much ignored me unless they needed a favour while at the same time keeping up the facade of the funny jolly fat guy was soul-crushing.

My endgoal is getting together with my oneitis, being the best possible boyfriend I can for a while, fucking her and then dumping her cold turkey and replacing her with a hotter, younger girl (I've already fucked girls who are hotter than her, but I want her to visibly suffer from it).

Fat kid in high school. Initially just wanted to lose weight so I'd stop getting made fun of. Weight came off pretty easy between playing sports, calisthenics, and diet.

Eventually started lifting, first for girls, then for strength. I have a gf now, but getting mires and compliments from other girls almost daily definitely keeps me motivated.

I mostly lift now out of habit. The basics of proper fitness (determination, hard work, sticking to a set schedule, pushing yourself, no excuses) have really spilled over into all the other areas of my life and really helped me get my shit together.

Was a sad sack of shit early in the military. Befriended someone who went to the gym. Saved my life.

If that someone hadn't shown me the ropes, I'd probably have shot my brains out at some point.

PS: Suicide rates are higher for those who haven't been in combat. Because dealing with the bureaucracy of the military, and the stupidity of so many decisions, is a soul destroying process.

Camaraderie is non-existent when the people above you play fuck fuck games and the shit rolls downhill.

But anyways, that's why I started lifting.

>why do you continue to life

Because weight training keeps your muscles intact. Ever seen old people (or even middle aged) who have a lot of droopy skin but also have a gut?

That's called muscle wasting + shit diet. You prevent the former by weight training and you prevent the later by eating a diet that works for your goals.

I want to be shredded when I'm 70. Dementia and despair is not a destiny but something that society mimics as an inevitable.

>>41961153

Women. I know (and agree) that lifting for girls is ultimate cuck-tier shit but if you don't fuck a girl by 20 you start getting desperate and do cuck-tier shit for a shot at life.

I'm not sure why I continue to lift. It might still be women on one hand, but I just feel amazing after some time lifting. I don't cry myself to sleep because I'm lonely af anymore, I get a (subtle) increase in confidence that allows me to interact with everybody just fine. It takes me out of the house for once, and gives my life a little plus.

The mood boost is just enough for me to continue though. I would unironically have an hero'd if I wasn't lifting for the past year.

I started lifting because my nearly 300lbs friend that saved me from homelessness wanted to lose weight and get fit, so I did it with him to keep him motivated, making sure he had a good diet and exercise routine.

I've decided to start going to the gym next monday. I started my diet last week, next monday I'm going to the gym. I want to drop down to 70kg first, then 65kg, then build back up to 70kg in muscle.

/fit/ has become my fucking support group, I swear. You fuckers motivated me to get my body in shape more than anything else.

I'm trying to distance myself from who I was a year and a half ago as much as physically possible.

I fucking love role playing games. Tabletop, vidya, I don't give a shit, it's all great, especially open world settings where I can interact with anything.
Why the fuck wouldn't I want to act/look/adventure like the dumb pieces of shit I spend hours pretending to be? All it takes is diet, exercise, and a willingness to leave my apartment.
I started because I was a fat depressed cunt. I keep going so that when I look in the mirror, I look like a player character, which encourages me to act like one.
Even if I still haven't run over any hookers.

Start lifting faggot. People at the gym don't give a fuck about you unless you are an asshole or a stupid fuck
Get a routine, start diet, get a mindset and ignore every fuckin single gym myth
I dont promise easy gains and lots of girls, but at least you will stop being an insecure faggot
I hate people too insecure or looking for bad reasons to not hit the gym
FUCKIN FAGGOT, TOMORROW STARTS A NEW MONTH, GO TO THE FUCKIN GYM, NO EXCUSES

Was dating a really thinn girl a few years ago and really admired her dedication to fitness particularly running. Thought that I should give it a try too. Fucking hated it so I decided to pick up a weight instead. We stopped dating a few months later but stuck with the lifting since I enjoyed it so much.

I met this my dream girl, a literal 10/10 girl from Italy. I'm not sure why, but she really liked me and we started hooking up and then dating. Well every time we would go out she would get looks from guys. I noticed that in most cases these guys were more attractive than I am; they were more muscular, more handsome, better dressed, drove nicer cars, more confident, etc.

I got super insecure because of it. I knew that this girl had so many other options other than being with me. I didn't feel like I had any other options, and in fact I was super surprised that this girl even wanted to be with me. For about a month I took my insecurities out on her and would accuse her of cheating, talking to other guys, even got to the point where I had asked her about previous guys she was with so that I could compare myself to them.

It was really bad. Even thinking about this time makes my stomach cringe. I was the ultimate insecure beta male. Luckily I didn't stop my life to have a pity party.

I started to lift weights 3-5x per week, and made a habit of doing push ups, chins and pull ups every single day. I started to eat better and eat more to gain mass. I started reading books, shopping for nicer clothes, taking care of my car and possessions and upgrading everything that made sense to upgrade.

I went from 120 lbs to 180 lbs, I went from making $9 and hour as a telemarketer to $65k salary as a private equity analyst. What I found along the way is that self improvement becomes like a snowball. If you can bring yourself to get started and be consistent, it will almost always translate into improvement in other aspects of your life.

BTW - It's been 3 years now and I'm very secure in our relationship, we also have a 5 month old daughter together and will be visiting her family in Italy next month (my first time in the EU!)

I was the most bullied kid in high school most of the years I was there, I was a hardcore case of "that kid". Not even autist, simply social isolation caused by poverty made lack a lot of needed self awareness. I began exercising (calisthenics) because one of the things I was bullied with was that I was fat, but soon I realized that people will just find something else to bully you with, insecurity is what makes you be bullied, people are like dogs and can smell insecurity. It was more a thing of attitude and I eventually had to change that.

TLDR being a little more fit doesn't cure autism, it just gives you a chance to practice social skills until you git gud.

Which means those guys who lift to fuck girls are just beating around the bush. You can fuck girls at most body types, and normal people with good enough social skills pull new pussy every week or manage to have regular gf's so as to not be starved for sex. There is tons of people out there that do this all the time with skinnyfat modes or the like because they JUST DON'T CARE they're as confident in this shape or in any better. Those guys tell themselves it's impossible or that they don't deserve to get anything unless they have achieved whatever X goal because they put the girls in a pedestal and think they're not 'deserving' or wrongly imagine girls have monstrously high physical standards for men.

The only thing that changes with the body type is the quality of girls you can have access to. I find it hilarious when those dudes who have been lifting for one or two years to cure their autism finally begin getting more girls to talk to them and proselytize to others because after all that time being a galactic proportions kind of tryhard they begin to get some meager female attention.

Sorry if I've burst your bubble, guys.

>What made you start lifting?
I was a fatty desperate to lose some weight.
So I thought I'd give it a shot.

>Why do you continue to lift?
I got addicted to lifting.

Zyzz when he said that you can get away with anything when you are ripped. I dont know why i never processed this obvious truth before
>>
>>41982495

I am experiencing this and am addicted to the feeling. I go out of my way to do/wear autistic shit just to see if people will still approach me.

It's really helping me get through my 3DS backlog.

I thought it would make me less beta.

I was wrong.

Because not lifting is a violation of the NAP.

Just "Bee" Yourself :^)
Casually expand your social circle as much as you can and get invited to as many social events as possible. Being in college, I'd be able to go to 3-5 parties a week. From there it's just a numbers game; when a girl starts miring make a move. Tinder/Bumble (B is better) is an option but a bit trickier, but same principal

Sorry anon, but there's no magic bullet :/ you just have to talk to a lot of girls; 30% will mire, 15% will flirt, but only 5% will follow through. Good luck.

I guess I'm not having like weekly sex, but I've fucked a track girl, 2 random Stacies and 4 sorority girls multiple times each since January and that's a lot more than your average college bro can say.

The first time I saw this picture, I immediately began masturbating to it as many times a day as I possibly could. I began lifting because my grip strength wasn't enough to simulate how tight her vagina must surely be. I felt as though I was dishonoring her by implying (even if only to myself) that her vagina wasn't tighter.

Been there man, going to therapy and accidentally falling into a group of good dudes really helped me stop hating myself and dedicate to self-improvement.
See >>41985191, chasing girls is an RNG nightmare, you've just got to try until shit clicks and then go from there.
Join a club/group that interests you, hang out with the people from there and talk to as many girls as possible.

Just keep working hard and talk to people and you'll eventually get there. We're all gonna make it, I believe in you anon
