>inb4 muh discipline

You're motivated by this trash?
This is some cringe worthy shit. You're not a predator, or some conduit of personified emotion.
You're some asshole picking up metal and putting it down again.

i think its talking about life in general, not you at the gym
>>35344749
Calm down. Aren't we all assholes who pick up metal and afterwards spend 3 hours of our day on a Czechoslovakian pigeon racing imageboard?
All you need senpai.

While you're in your chair reading motivational quotes, someone is out there getting shit done.

No image, this just sort of happened today.
>started browsing /fit/ about a year and a half ago
>took me five months to even have faith in myself to start cardio
>I weighed like 270
>I turned in drinking every day into walking every day
>read the sticky
>read it twice, then thrice more
>throw out soda, start drinking water from a gallon jug
>every meal I remember having since I was 12 has been delicious, change them to something I take no pleasure in, I'm just hungry and that's what I have to eat
>my amazing friend offered to lift with me at his home gym
>six months ago I'm jogging, actually jogging and keeping pace
>Everyone is telling me how much I've changed, but I don't see it
>keep lifting with my friend, the weights say I'm getting stronger, but they feel just as heavy as ever
>Last week, I hop on the scale
>201
>I tell myself I have to get below 200 before the New Year, I promised myself last year I would do it
>cardio every morning and night, I'm running and sprinting, I've been running so long
>lifting with my friend, he's spotting me. I can't tell if I need one or if he's worried I'm over my head
>hop on the scale this morning
>196
>something hits the scale
>it's sweat
>then I remember, I hadn't gone running yet
>it's because it was my tears
I got off and started sobbing, I haven't been below 200 pounds since I was 16. I went and looked in the mirror. I can't remember the last time I was so proud of myself. And then I realized, I still have thirty pounds to go. When I saw that needle dip below 200, I didn't want to go eat a burger or slam a 12 pack. I wanted tomorrow to come, so I can get back to work.

>One big guy taps my shoulder
>Yo lad. New here? Need any introduction here?
>I nod a couple times
>Before i realize, everything i know about deadlift, squat and bench, is being rewritten for me. Everything from breathing to being tight.

Nigga you're making me cry. Definitely going to make it, keep it up.

>Lifting at a commercial gym where others don't even deadlift or squat
I go to a commercial gym too and I almost never see anyone doing deads or squats. There's this guy who looks Japanese or Korean or something who is the only guy besides myself I've ever seen doing squats there. Tons of guys doing bicep curls in front of the mirror, or benching, or doing stuff with the pulleys, but nobody squats or deads. Hell the squat rack sees more use for bench press and pullups than for squats.
and some people spend more time talking annoyingly loud with their friends than actually working out. Last week there was this group of like 7 French dudes and they spent like a full hour talking next to the bench, taking turns to press and wasting time instead of each doing their thing.
Commercial gyms are the worst
>>35346140
GLORIOUS, motherfucker!
>>35346140
Own it my man! You keep going, take it slow if you have to, Rome wasn't built in a day
>>35349224
You know, I'm actually a lot less fit than I should be at this point because I haven't really changed my diet a lot and I should go the gym more often (currently doing three days a week), but it felt pretty good hitting 100 kg deadlift as my first milestone a few days ago.
I might not look a lot better than I did before I started lifting, but I sure as fuck am way stronger, I feel it and it's all I care about.
>>35346140
Manly tears bruh

Shit's been pretty hard lately and I am looking forward to a shit Christmas and a shit new years eve. Both lonely. All I want is to run and lift but this body of mine need fucking rest. All I look forward now is working out and rest days are killing me. I just want to lift, run whatever to let go off all worries.
