Your own personal and relatively insignificant benefits of lifting/getting /fit/ that go beyond basic talking points like having less fat and being physically healthier.

This here
Someday I'll make my father pay for molesting me!
I want to know something anons.
I've been goblin mode my entire life. I've been lifting and gaining weight for the past 6 months. I started at 95 1 rep max and I've just hit 1 plate squatting with proper form for reps. I'm going to bulk until 2pl8 and then I'm going to cut with a lot of cardio.
What is it like after that first cut? I've never had any muscle at a low body fat but I'm imagining it's heavenly. I imagine being able to wake up and not feeling like every movement is a chore, like my body is actually built to move efficiently. I dream of being able to drop to the ground and do a set of pushups for fun, being able to run with ease.
It's something I've never felt before.
Will it be magical or will I not even notice
>be me, currently HS Senior.
>Made decision to start lifting last year bacause I was a skinny dyel short fag
>Then puberty hit, and with my diet/routine made me a god.
>I topped out the 90lb spring scale in my robotics club with my bare hands
>fells bretty gud
>Also I'm still a geek, but who cares.
>>36129939
I'll give you my honest opinion.
I hit the cut, and while it was nice, I still felt like I wasn't where I wanted to be, like I would reach for the bar, and it would just keep rising no matter how high I got. Set a goal, then stay at it, if you are happy where you are, modify your routine to stay where you are at.
>respect myself more now
>have never encountered something in everyday life I need to move that I can't lift
>feel more coordinated and just like my body is more capable of doing daily tasks
>can throw tiny gf across the room
>better circulation and more muscle mass = keep warmer in winter and efficient sweating systems = icy cold and dripping wet in summer
>at least *look* like I could beat everyone else up
Lifting makes up for the fact that I'm a lazy motherfucker who isn't making any real progress in life
(Not really but that's the lie I tell myself)

Feels good brehs. The dog thing is the best cause hes a pit and hes a little asshole on runs.
>>36129939
>i dream of being able to drop and do a set of pushups for fun, being able to run with ease
you'll make it, anon. It will be a gradual thing so it won't be like an amazingly magical moment, but one day you'll drop down and pop out 20 pushups no problem, and then youll go on a 3 mile run no problem, and you'll realize just how far youve come. The good feelings come from looking back at how shitty you were before and comparing your old self to the new you.
>>36129939
>I dream of being able to drop to the ground and do a set of pushups for fun, being able to run with ease.
Oh silly anon, if you keep at it you will be able to do so much more than that, for example doing pushups with another person lying on your back
You guys aren't out here fucking these sluts.
>>36129474
>toss 35lb tub of kitty litter on conveyor belt as if its empty; checkout girl makes impressed noises
>squat ATG to pick up cats
Well the only reason I started was because I heard that lifting encourages facial hair growth.
6 months in, and I still can't grow a beard worth a shit. I'm not stopping though.

What is with people taking the elevator to go up just one floor anyway? I understand sometimes if you have some kind of problem but a lot of people doing it aren't even overweight.

Honestly?
You'll look like a skinnyfat or a skeleton, depending how much you cut. 2 pl8 squat is nice, but you won't have nearly enough muscle. You'll definitely look better than before though.
Assuming that you are male and above 5'6 (165 cm)

It was never heavy
Became non fat and the main thing is i can't believe how light i feel, it's fucking insane how heavy i used to feel compared to now.
>People start fights and arguments with me for the smallest shit
I think they feel unconfortable with someone bigger than them around.
I'm not sure how I feel about it
>Rope hangs from the ceiling
>grab it and do a pull up so i can hang myself
I dont need a ladder or chair to hang myself.
>>36137608
>i can't believe how light i feel
This. You really feel it when ever you move. Doesn't even have to be stairs or something. Every single move is easier and feels... light.
>tfw knew that feel for some years but fucked body up and got fat again
>>36129474
>Sprint to the train in the morning when I'm late without feeling like I'm gonna die.
>going up the stairs to my apartment with heavy grocery bags without needing to take a break.
>being a lot less bloated and self conscious about my stomach since switching to a healthier diet.
>lifting semi-heavy shit at work and not longer having the guys there constantly going "you need help with that?" "hey, let me take that for you!" (which is nice of them and all, but)
>starting to look forward to the swimsuit-aspect of summer instead of dreading it.

>>36137728
aahahahahhaa
>>36129474
M8 I was the definition of beta before I started lifting. Chubby, very little muscle mass, picked on by a lot of people. To me the greatest thing that came out of getting fit was just fucking confidence, if you believe no one can fuck with you (and you're not an asshole), people generally don't fuck with you.

>going up the stairs to my apartment with heavy grocery bags without needing to take a break.
How unfit were you?
I was a fat 115kg (at 1,80m) blobb living on the 5th floor and never came close to taking a break, even with a full backpack and a crate of beer (~20kg).

No benefits, in fact I'm even more of a fucking faggot these days.
>>36137957
Aren't we all? Some of us are just more delusional than we once were
Skin clears up real nicely when you eat right.
Food costs decrease dramatically. One fat guy's meal or portion becomes food for a day or longer.
>>36137891
I've never even been in the overweight-BMI range, but I was severely unfit after a period of sudden depression and anxiety (also some eating disorder involved). Gotten my act firmly together now, tho.
>>36137998
What are you talking about i eat like crazy, im ecto tho

Don't want to drink as much because it sucks with gains. Don't want to eat like shit anymore because it makes me feel like shit. Not having to "resist" eating bad shit, instead just feeling like consequences aren't worth it.
Lower back doesn't hurt when running anymore. Use glutes when walking.
Natural strut almost, just by keeping shoulders back
>>36129939
First cut is always underwhelming for most people desu. If you're natty anyway. It'll take 2 or 3 bulk/cut cycles to really notice yourself breaking out of dyel mode. Building muscle is a slow process natty.
>more awake/less tired at work

I can second this. I was incredibly weak when I was depressed, having the greatest trouble carrying a crate of beer home from the supermarket.
>>36129474
people are nicer and girls actually notice I exist.
>>36135263
30kg rig? get on my level. haul road king 2x12 combo up flights of stairs using just the top handle.
>>36138618
Yeah but on the bright side, our current strength is so much greater than what it used to be.
I for one am pretty proud of my novice™ lifts according to symmetricstrength. Slightly stronger than the average person (who doesn't lift)... that seemed unfanthomable back then.

>>36138419
Actually pretty upsetting if you think about it. People must see a fatter guy and subconsciously just be cunts because after losing the weight I noticed everyone was a lot nicer.
