Why do most people on this board have super edgy reasons for lifting weights? I see shit like this all the time:
>I lift to become powerful so I can fight black people and no I don't care about women, they're whores I'm gonna beat up my Dad when I get big and oh man do I just hate everyone just like Sasuke
>>35749098
This place is basically just ex-/r9k/ users who started lifting. Of course its populated with misguided and mostly false world views.
>>35749098
Losers from /pol9k/ for New Year's. They'll give up soon and go back there when they realise you actually need to work hard to get fit and can't just blame being dyel on women & minorities.
>>35749098
because 4chan. that's it. if you don't expect the same regretful creampies on this board as on /mlp/ /fa/ or /b/ then you are deluded
>>35749098
>Why do most people on this board have super edgy reasons for lifting weights?
they were denied basic human interaction and the attention of the other sex during childhood and adolescence due to being socially inadequate
this typically produces a negative worldview
>>35749110
I lift so I can eat more.
Honestly I'm lifting because I know it's good for you. Because I wanna see what my own muscles look like under this ever decreasing layer of fat. Because it's cool as hell to wake up one day and see new ridges and curves on your body that weren't there before, and that you can flex a muscle and make those shapes move around. What kind of abs do I have? Will they look like zippers? Or regular ones?
It's an adventure. The most interesting and fun one i've ever been on.
>>35749098
A lot of people start lifting weights to indulge the spergy power fantasies that managed to follow them out of high school. Most of those guys give up after hitting their first plateau.
I originally started lifting to get my very own, high-test fuckslab. Holy fuck I was wrong
Now I lift because every day, I get to wake up excited to look and see where my muscles are developing and how much easier it is to lift shit that I thought was heavy. I think the edgiest thing I ever lifted for was to look physically superior to all of my friends. Which, still is a reason I lift.
>>35749098
This guy doesn't know the benefits of kicking your dad's ass?
I usually lift for myself. To feel strong, to feel like a greek god.
But hear me out, when I think I've found a truly genuine woman and she ends up disappointing me, that's when I make the biggest gains.

>>35749098
>>I lift to become powerful so I can fight black people and no I don't care about women, they're whores I'm gonna beat up my Dad when I get big and oh man do I just hate everyone just like Sasuke
Literally never seen anything like this apart from 'not lifting for women'.
You seem like a fag.
Sasuke is based though

>You will never marry Pam Beesly
Why even live?
I started to lift to lose weight and become more attractive. I now lift because I will probably balloon up if I don't, and don't want to have to buy more clothes. I could give very few shits about being attractive now.
>>35749098
It just makes me feel good and look good
>>35749561
This.
I don't even have a goal for lifting. I just want more muscle on my body. I already like how I look for the most part, but I'd like more muscle.
>>35749098
As a rule, I don't enjoy lifting, but hate not lifting far far more - also the feeling of hitting a target is nice.
This is mainly because I can only lift before work and get exhausted. Fuck fatties.
i started lifting to save my life. that's just facts. nothing grandiose about it. ms hit, i hit back. sort of. i say sort of since it's kicking my ass again. damn bastard.
I like to workout because I like to train. Now why not just do cardio? Now WHY NOT cardio?
Well...
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'd never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now,
Oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, I won't do that
Anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, I won't do that
I started lifting for this:
>pic related
>>35752072
Man that pic is uncanny valley as fuck.
>>35749098
Actually the most common reasons I see on /fit/ for getting in shape is to combat depression or to try and get out of oneitis by getting aesthetic.
>>35752119
You are fucking retarded mate
>>35749098
In reality we lift for them
>>35749098
because they're anti social skinny neckbeards flying just under the autistic bare minimum.
lifting for the wimmin is completely justified and is a big reason why people do it whether they admit it or not. mating is the end goal of all existence. fuck yeah i lift for women.
>>35749098
I don't know about you, but I absolutely fucking despise sandniggers. So it's just another reason to lift.
Other than that, I'm just compensating for my small penis and the fact that I'm a manlet.
>>35749098
someone called me lazy
also, the world treats you 100000000x better when you are fit. that also works.
and I want to look good in the mirror and not like the fat fucks I see everywhere.
I started to lift cause Ive always been an easy target for bullies
I then got addicted to seeing myself grow and mainly feel stronger
It also feeds my superiority complex
>>35749098
Don't forget, we ARE on 4chan. I've been mocked by neckbeards for lifting because it's a fun hobby. When I posted on /r/fitness (yeah yeah, I know) I got told "you need to fix your priorities. Lifting has to come first." They literally told me to prioritize lifting over my girl, my job and school.
The people here are a bit removed from life. /fit/ is a rehabilitation board. At least we're out there lifting, and trying to improve.
i have low self esteem, and zero friends.
ive seen an increase in both as i go
>>35749098
Just wanted to be healthier, ended up loving working out after about 2 months of it.
As I continued, new goals arise in my mind
>Stronger
>Make ex and strangers envy me
>Protect and secure my future family with current gf
>>35749098
Because i was bored one day.
>>35749098
>>35753146
oh, forgot
bonus fun motivational fact:
When I started lifting and told my Father about it, he simply said "Ha, you won't stick with it, what a waste of your money."
This comment was additional fuel to my fire.
>>35749098
>implying Naruto is not the best one
I lift since its just natural for me. I played sports from when i was 4 until i was 18, once i quit to pursue school i just started lifting not really thinking about making it or anything. I just did my thing for a few years until i joined uni and started taking lifting seriously. I just continue doing it since its kinda fun, blows off stress and i've always been active and had a good looking body, and i feel pretty shitty when i take time off.
>>35753183
Dad troll is best troll
Thx dad
>>35749098
Because the average age of 4chan posters is 15.
>>35749098
I lift because I used to be a sad cunt with schizophrenia, and regular regimented exercise helps with that. Most reasons here are more similar to that, that people used to have shitty mentalities, and working out helped them cope with it.
The few retards who post edgy shit like that are either just memeing, or people who've come in from /r9k/ and don't realise that you don't need to keep up the ridiculous bitterness on every other board.
>>35749561
This. I really like natural body modification, this is an excellent journey
>>35749098
Jesus would want me to be the best I can be. That's why I lift among other things.
>>35749098
lift because its the only thing I dont give up on, also it just feels good
>>35753183
He probably did that to motivate you.
>>35749098
I lift so I can finally extract my revenge on the maths teacher from high school, who was really mean.
>>35750121
You will never see that perfect cunt
>>35753774
Neeerrrrrrddddd
>>35749176
this
also op is faget
>>35749098
I carry a gun for niggers anon. You're fucking dumb if you don't consider niggers a threat if you live in the southeast or a major city. Depending on your age group (college) then yeah, most women are whores so I can at least see where they are coming from.
I've noticed that most people are edgy here about shit too, if I'm being honest. That being said, if defending yourself from niggers is really your goal then more power to ya, but the rest of what you wrote is just as edgy as the rest of the guys OP. You're trying to fluff yourself to appear to be better than someone who dislikes niggers or women or whatever their thing is, and attempting to lump them into the same group of adult men that let cartoons and white trash problems affect their social interactions.
Tl;Dr: Ur a fagget too OP. So is everybody else trying to jump on OP's dick for approval. Bunch of slack jawed faggots in here.
I lift, because I'm worthless, and improving one's body is some form of personal development.
>>35753800
now i really hate niggers too but you come off as a bit of fedora.
not as much fedora as op mind you but that is not saying much.
>>35753923
Yeah, maybe I did. Not sure how to say what I want to say about the subject without sounding like a fedora I guess.
>>35749129
Idk, I fit that perfectly and I still don't have an edgy reason for lifting (I'm personally lifting because fitness increases respect).
i lift because its monday
>>35749176
Only logical reason
>>35749098
I lift because I'm a turbomanlet who got manhandled as soon as he switched into adults dibisions at his judo tournament.
It was lifting or KMS desu Senpai
>>35749098
I lift because my fetish is to fuck black pussy and make niggers cry, WHITE POWER
>>35749561
I started for the wrong reasons, but it quickly became this.
Not a fatty but it's fun to see my body get bigger and better looking.
>>35749598
You get to fuck your mum?
>>35754257
that image is stupid, there have way more mass shootings done by 'normal' americans than by actual terrorists
>>35749098
I just want to lift things enough so I can then lift heavier things
>>35754286
Except the girl on the left is certainly not prepared to fight or die for any of the things she is holding.
The one of the right is another story.
Also you're a faggot and should probably kill yourself.
>>35749857
I lift because it helps with my favorite hobby: Serial killing. Greater strength helps subdue victims more easily. Calisthenics help keep my heart rate down and help with muscle control, which is good if you need to hide and wait for an ambush.The bag work I do helps me deliver more punishing blows, which, coupled with lifting can easily incapacitate the prey. It's also easier to lug bodies and losing those few extra pounds means my ankles don't pop when I'm walking on the balls of my feet. Being fitter just all around helps with the sneaking and the attack.
i lift as a counter culture of the new feminization of the mordern man
>>35749561
Thanks for this. It puts things into focus.

>Why do most people on this board have super edgy reasons for lifting weights?
because they're all /r9k/ rejects
ignore it, they don't last enough to get all their noob gains.
>>35749176
This. This is the main reason.
>>35749098
Because you're on 4chan.
I originally started lifting with a friend after leaving a gf. That shit only lasted until I had a new, hotter gf. Then she left me and I started again.
Shit don't work that way tho.
I'm in a relationship for three years now and I recently started lifting again to get rid of some nasty heart problems (due to caffeine abuse) and to get in shape to look better on stage and in the circles I fell into. It's just become routine and helps balance out the work-related stress.
Honestly, I think all these MOTIVATION threads and all that try-hard bullshit are seriously damaging for most new lifters. They hype themselves up and inflate their ego, only to be dissapointed when they still can't bench LMAO1PLATE after a month of lifting. And so they stop, and turn to all that "facial aesthetics only matter/big dick only matters/social skills/whatever other excuse that is out of my control only matters".
/lifejournal
We're basically nerds and losers like from every other board, except some of us look better, are more confident, and have friends and get girls and whatnot, we all know the type of people that go on 4chan though, that's all I should need to say
Mfw I started lifting to get bigger and stronger to defend myself from bullies(one being my dad), that seriously fits me to a Tee, except I've always been aware that it's KIND OF for women too, but that more of a bonus benefit not really the main motive
>>35749098
Because it's the only thing I'm still able to enjoy. Basically, it keeps me alive. Dunno for how long tho.

Muslims are smarter, because white people shoot up the school, kill 4 people and end up being caught or shot down by the police while failing to off themselves.
Muslim detonate an belt of C4 and take out 30 people including theirself, it's fucking genius.
Muslims 1 - USA 0
>>35749098
I'm just doing it to look good. Good looking people are treated better. I found out during my goth phase one day and have never been true to myself since. Worth it.

She'd die for her country and the Bible is a part of America with an 80% christian population.
She'd die for he country and her right to carry weapons and other stupid shit, the muslima'd die for her faith and other stupid shit.
They're still both idiots

Did you consider the fact that most people on this board have normal lifting goals, but that those with extreme or edgy goals are more vocal about it?
>>35749561
