Unusual reason for lifting

>>42424512

I keep fit for good mental wellbeing first, physical benefit second. Is this unusual?

>>42424512
For myself, not for getting laid
Inb4 some faggot implies that's not unusual on /fit/

>>42424512
For Scruton

>>42424512
I want to be able to hang onto a bar for a few minutes in case I ever fall off something and have to either climb back up, or hang on for my life. I also need to know I'm ready to fight a medium sized animal in case I come upon one accidentally.

the feels

>>42424529
Not really,that has to be one of the most usual reasons
>>42424542
hmm yeah this could be unusual in this context, but almost everybody in a gym could say that
>>42424580
Nice,actually unusual

Because I hate what I see in the mirror.

>>42424512
Dad has MS and is currently a quadriplegic - I lift so I can help move him from his wheelchair into bed and shower.

>I lift because it takes away my mind from the wreck that is my life, I don't think about it just concentrate on the reps.

I like to look and feel good

>into bdsm
>be a sub
>watch femdom stuff
>the guy is invariably some pudgy dyel middle aged pathetic faggot
>look down, dick in hand
>notice my fat belly
>realise I am just as pathetic as the men in the videos

If i'm going to be a degenerate, i'm at least going to look like a sick cunt in the process.

I'd rather be a fit autistic virgin than a fat autistic virgin

How weird would it be if somebody went to the gym thinking that somehow one day it would make up for his ugliness and crippling social and mental issues, and finally get him the social life and the girls he's always wanted so bad since middle school.
I mean, those things are completely unrelated, who would do that, right? Haha!

I have an addictive personality. I'm replacing harmful addictions/behavior patterns with lifting. Or most of them anyways. 3 months in, so far so good, except that one week where I didn't and by Friday my alcoholism hit hard, got wasted af and did a ton of silly stuff.
So yeah, I'd rather lift.

That and I want to become a sex machine for my gf.

>>42424512
i have several hours free each day and because i'm ultimately a lazy fucker if i didn't lift i'd sit at home wanking and stuffing my face instead

yes, i know this isn't an unusual one

Never really set out do to this, but I feel like training my forearms improved my typing.

I was never able to break 100 wpm consistently but after I started lifting I now type in the 100-110 range consistently.

>>42424512
I want to look like the Chaddest Chad, but still be overly into video games and anime.

One day, lads.

>>42424512
I was born fucking broken with the doctors telling my mother I would be a small frail man. My baby photos are basically just me in one of those incubators

>5'11
>210 pounds
>one of the strongest people I know

I life because I must. Constant improvement is what sustains life and a stagnant being is one that has died already and simply doesn't know it yet.

I lift and self improve because if not, what else am I doing but dying?

>>42426242
this, /animechad/ is best goal

I'm a firefighter-Rescue Paramedic. I want to be able to, if I ever need to, lift multiple casualties or be relied upon to be mostly self sufficient in extreme emergencies.

It also sets a good note and example for incoming or aspirant firefighters. The test can be passed by some skinny fats and strong fats with surprising ease, but there's always a very real risk that the 150lb Firefighter I will need to go in and pull the 220lb Firefighter and fail to do so-a risk I'm not willing to let be taken. My job is foremost the safety and well-being of my Brigade and my team, and I want to lead by example.

>>42424512
So I can push your mom off after we fuck

So I can be huge and my son will be able to tell all his friends in elementary school that I'm a giant. He's only one year old rn so hopefully I'll be huge by the time he's 5

feels good being 'mired and to put off a shirt in summer, I was one of those kids who wore a shirt at the beach

>>42424512
i lift to make scooby proud

>>42424512
I lift to make the body less of an obstacle to the soul. Not sure how unusual reason that is.

>>42424512
So I can push the steel beam that's crushing me directly on top of my nipples off of me, and then stand up and power clean it overhead, then jerk it and throw it on top of Chad who can't get it off of him because he only does pushups when he feels like it

>>42424754
Careful, all that extra test and thicc ass in the gym might turn you into less of a submissive faggot

>>42426470
>what else am I doing but dying?
Being autistic

I'm trying to kill time before I kill myself

>>42426242
>Steins;Gate "tuturu" as phone notification tone
>No one dare call me out on it

>>42424512
It all started because I really wanted to fuck some Indian girl at work. I got hooked and haven't stopped since then.

I lift so that I am attractive enough to be a vapid gril and wear stupid tumblr feminist tier clothing.

>>42426718
Where are you from?

>>42424512
Because I may be becoming a doctor later in life than most but I still want to be a sexy doctor.

>>42426738
Tumblr feminist clothing isn't attractive..

>>42424754
Hey.. I remember you. We talked about degeneracy for a good while.

Good on you, man. And remember, being switch is objectively superior to everything.
>never lose respect from partner
>get to experience much more than exclusively domming or subbing

I'm bored

>>42424512
I keep getting bullied by my mom and have no social life. So I lift out of resentment.

>>42424556
This is a good reason.

I lift so I can reach my childhood dream
>pic related

I am hipster and I only lift because everyone else don't. I want to be diferent from the fat fuck scum and sedentary lazy asses.

>I am not one of them
>I am not one of them
>I am not one of them

I constantly repeat this to myself between sets.

>>42424512
I want to make Stacyes batshit crazy. When i was younger and stupid, they were always playing with me, or making fun of me. I want to do the same with them in the future.
Oh and growing my hair, so I can have the SS haircut, but I need a good body to look bad during the race war.

>>42427585
bad ass'

>>42424512
>watching bleach
>Ichigo is ripped
>i should get ripped
here we are 7 years later

>>42427575
ha i feel this

I look at people in the grocery store while they buy cokes and 80% ground beef and they disgust me like they are subhuman

i know this makes me a faggot douchebag hipster but i dont care, I am BETTER than they are

I just want to say, lifting absolutely does fucking help a guy get girls. Maybe people on this board expect to just be swimming in pussy right after they hit bench PR of 225, and that's not how it is. It's a lot like height, actually. As long as a guy is a couple inches taller than the girl, she probably doesn't care much beyond that. Same with lifting. Being some powerlifting monster won't take you from a 5 to a 8, but looking like you can commit to something (namely, diet and exercise) is always a plus.

>>42426439
That's not hard when you have no friends.

ayyy man I'm actually a switch.

Since I started lifting I have many more dominating fantasies but I'm still mostly sub, i'd say i'm more 60/40 now whereas before it was like 80/20

>>42426681
I still come home from the gym and masturbate to chastity captions and random pictures of asians in gloves so it's looking like my faggotry is holding strong

>>42424512
>drank too much in highschool
>all my drinking pals lifted
>I always passed earlier than them
>once one of them picked up a girl just by looking good
>had no other hobbies, just drinking

it helped nothing, but I just like doing it

whenever a draft is in effect, i'll be prepared and in shape to be in the military with my battle buddy

>>42427847
Yeah it feels good

I was never fat but my body was just squishy boring shitty

After just a few months of lifting I would take my shirt off at the beach (i live at the beach) and I could literally see girls checking out my abs and adonis belt. my lifts were still so low but just that little change blew my sexual opportunities wide open

plus I just feel like a fucking badass when I run my hand over my stomach

everyone depressed should exercise, it is like half the secret to life

I have always had pointy nipples, even when cross country runner skinny. Not gyno, just really puffy nips. No one cares about your nips when you got rockin chesticles.
Bench is my favorite lift.
Not my only reason but it is one.

A hot bitch expressed interest in me while I was skinny fat and I felt inadequate so I wanted to be better when we finally do bang

That was months ago and we never met up but when I finally did get with a different cutie I was surprisingly prepared.

Who knew sex is mostly cardio? and just needing to be an Int. level of strength

I know that feel anon, I've hated how Ive looked since I was in middle school. It feels good when you look in the mirror and don't totally resent your appearance. We're all gonna make it.

Is lifting for your little sisters unusual?

Not the main reason by far, but I lift so I can get away with being a lonely and bitter bastard, so people would not think Im a pedo or something. Im not a kisseles virgin nor an autistic and social anxious person, Its just that for the time being Im fucking tired of relationships and pretending to be interested in some dumb bitch.
