What motivated you to start lifting /fit/
>be me at 15 years old

>decide it would be cool af if I got denied because I was solid muscle
>thought of that for a few years before I finally stopped being a lazy fuckboy and started gyming
>be me
>heavy stoner
>had to pass drug test
>started working out hard
>realized I love lifting
>3 years later, still lifting
Toke on brehs
>Be me
>22 kiss less virgin
>Being fit should change that
TFW when it didn't change it.
I realised I needed to be strong enough to save the people I love in an emergency. Hopefully I will never find out.

I used to lurk /fit/ when I was 14-15 not
got me interested in lifting
quit when 16
start again 19 because I remember how much fun it is.I figure If you are able enough to lift and don't then you're just lazy.
Regret quitting so bad.
I hadn't seen my buddy in a while. He used to be fatter than me. I saw him and he had lost something like 20kg and I was fatter than him now. I was kind of jealous so I started working out

That was my wake up call. I'm 25 now, and I got to take the same test again ~3 weeks ago and passed it very easily.

Failing on a weight to high for you probably won't kill you, it'll most likely just cripple you and/or be very painful.

I love the feeling, the after pump, the progress, even on the gray days were nothing cheers me up lifting is the only thing that fills me up. Its been 5 months now and I dont know how much it will last (I grow bored of things fast) but I can see myself doing this the rest of my life

yes but any muscle gains you made, even if you lost them in the meantime, will be easier to gain this time.

Are you me? I've always been a skinny fuck and weak as shit.
At one job I was working at, this 17 year old blond lifeguard (I'm 19) told me I was weak as hell, and something in me snapped. We worked at the pool of this country club and had to move this bounce house. The two lifeguards (fucking lazy little teen girls) decided to just leave it there for the morning. But as the only closer, it would be my responsibility to make sure everything was in order for the next day. They basically pushed the deflated bounce house to the door of the pool house, and left it there, said it was my problem now while laughing. Mad as fuck I decided to fix the issue myself. They refused to help. And I was too prideful to ask. Normally it takes 2 people to move the bounce house back in, so in the back of my mind I wasn't even sure I could do it.
I used all the strength my weak frail body could muster, combined with her words of me being weak to push that house past the door to where it belonged. My face was red with rage and exhaustion. But on that day I decided I was never going to be just another weak man in a world of weak men.
I'd been lifting for 3 months at that point, I just hit 9 months, and I can't wait until I hit 5 years.
>>34915186
Don't even know, really. I always loved superheroes and stuff like that, especially Batman because he trained himself to be a hero, and I was inspired by that. Also, wanted to be a good role model physically for my son.

Been lifting again for like two weeks now, (pic was from my last workout) I de loaded to baby weight again for the sake of form and because I didn't really have an accurate guess on the damage I did to my body strength loss wise, but like I said I was doing a lot of drugs and not eating or sleeping much for a while and chain smoked weed and cigarettes constantly so I assumed the worst. I'm currently doing lots of volume in the meantime until things get heavy again.
I went from 195 down to 175 now I'm up to 177 or so

It was never my plan to win, I cut off from her completely after the breakup because I don't play that yo-yo bullshit. Still, I can't deny that it feels excellent.
Not to mention I went from fat nerd to getting multiple phone numbers and a few hookups just in the last few weeks

>>34921151
My ex as of 3 months ago didn't join me when I started going to the gym 9 months ago. We broke up, and since she doesn't exercise and eats barely any food besides sweets, I told her she'll get fat (like her mom). She got mad, but we'll see how things are in 2 years :^)

I had started fucking around with my friends who started going about a year ago because why not. I started on machines to build up a little strength before going into actually lifting. I had gotten a gf at this point despite being a hungry skelly. Fast forward four months and she broke up with me and I said fuck it I'm going to become the best version of myself physically. Made some nice noob gains, gained 15lbs and recently got sick and couldn't eat or move and lost a lot of my progress. Currently depressed and have no appetite because of the drugs I'm on, but I'm going to get my gainz back

>>34924682
I see bro, good job and keep at it
Started running in sophomore year of highschool. I really liked it, and it helped me compensate for my school avoidance and polydrug use. Eventually, I fucked up badly enough that the drugs and respect of my peers went out the window, and all I had was my gym. I got so into running that my legs became huge. I got a girlfriend and I wanted to be able to pick her up and fuck her, so I started lifting. Then we broke up, and lifted more. Then I just couldn't stand to see any atrophy, so now I'm still here. I've since fucked up my knee and back, so no more running - but I cycle and do calisthenics and bench and whatnot, and I altogether just enjoy lifting with friends, or lifting by myself and listening to podcasts.
6 years now
>>34927517
Same, I'm pretty swole, but I saw this dude get absolutely demolished by some guy who I heard touched his girlfriend.
Being strong/swole isn't going to do much if you don't know how to fight.
Fat rolls always hot.
No thigh gap, pants rub until flames burst.
Shitty relationship with other fat fuck I don't want to fuck anymore.
I'm 7, fat fuck other is like a 4
>wtf am I doing
Parent call me the ugliest names.
I hate myself.

I lift because my gf told me that I would never have the discipline to keep going to the gym steadily.
Been going for 4 months now, and I feel amazing. Need to prove this bitch wrong. Meanwhile, I said something similar to her (that she would never lose weight), and that has been the case so far.
She even bought a miracle product for 1300 CAD, which made her lose 5 lbs :)

>get fit
>realize im old (30)
>realize that even if I want to settle down the only single girls are single moms or fat girls or girls with issues
I lift to ease the pain, if I can't be with someone good then I owe it to myself to be my best. I like making progress, it makes me happy. the gym also gives me something to do on weekends.
it would be cool to be with a younger girl that doesnt want to get married but what are the odds of that working out anyway.

I was an erger cardiobunny, really into long distances. One day I decided to get better at shorter distances too. Lifting seemed like a best way to gain some mass and turn my marathoner body into something more usable for 2k.

I am almost 22 now, I'm still DYEL, but never have I been this much in shape, nor this confident or positive. I am also in Uni right now.
It just takes you to realize that you DO have the power to be the best version of yourself.
We are all gonna make it brehs.
I've always worked out off and on. But now that I'm married with a kid, I've made a huge push to get into shape since I'm terrified of becoming a frumpy hurf durf dad.

That's because people that habitually use other drugs typically die from it and can't talk about anything. Also fuck you.
