I lift because it's a healthy alternative to self-harm. Lifting heavy, feeling that self-loathing get strained by heavy weights is satiating.

Also because it helps with my self perception.

I want to look good and be healthy
it's more for myself than anything else

>>42372763
So cunts like elon musk can't take my freedom away

to fill that deep hole in my chest. life is shit. ppl lie while iron doesn't. I lift myself to feel better, to escape my stupid and naive mistakes that I keep on making. playing vidya used to help, but now it's less effective. subhana rabbiill a'ala wabihamdihi subhana rabbiil alizm.

I'd like to take up boxing

This girl I was talking and was really into friendzoned me and started fucking this chaddy guy.

I don't work out for her but I work out for the idea that I never want to feel that feel again.

just to see how much I can put on the bar. nothing else

to become a pretty nigga

I want to look better and feel strong, but honestly the thing that flipped the switch was when a casual acquaintance made a snide off the cuff remark once saying I wouldn't do it.

I wanted to be a Ranger and to self-medicate for my depression and psychological trauma. Since I can't be in the military now I just do it to keep the depression and self-hatred away. When people ask why I lift though I just say to look good because I won't admit I have a problem.

Lots of Berserk fans here.

>>42372763
I want something I can be proud of, the small gains I've made so far have really made me feel better about myself. I would also be lying if I said my lifting wasn't in part motivated by me wanting to have a gf, I've never had one but I'd really like to

I was a fat bastard at 17 and wanted to lose weight. 3 years later I'm a healthy guy more or less.

>>42372763
Because I fucking hate myself, and I hope that by being huge and focusing all my time on will distract me from these faggot thoughts I get in my head. I just fucking jerked it on vacation with my aunt and cousin down the hall to this shit. Without the gym I fucking hate myself. Family and friends are the only reason I haven't done myself in.

It helps me not be sad

Makes me feel good about myself, like I can achieve things and work hard
