What motivates you to lift, /fit/?
Or do you just do it whether you want to or not?
if i wasnt lifting i would kill myself
>>36422305
Just doesn't seem worth it.

Why do people still believe this chakra bullshit?
I'm forced to take a yoga class at uni for my curriculum and they say shit like "This pose activates your link to the positive energy from the sun. If you are ever feeling like your chakra is blocked its because of the negative energy in the universe getting bottled up in this area"

>be me
>have awesome nephew
>loves dinosaurs and bugs and is amazing at playing golden axe
>likes it when i grab him by the wrists and throw him around
>Each year he gets a little bigger
>each year gets a little harder
>decided to start working out so i can prolong the inevitable

There is some truth to that
Excessive stress and such can store tension in places in your body, alot of time without you ever knowing
>>36422646
shit-tier university?
>>36422646
Yeah, and what you said is backed up by actual advances in our understanding of the human body.
To preach pseudoscience and metaphysics in an establishment dedicated to learning seems kinda fucked
>>36422294
I was always just a skinny fat/tg/uy, and decided I wanted to be strong so I read the sticky, started eating healthier, and started lifting.
>>36422669
Excessive stress is not "negative energy in the universe." Releasing the tension from your body is not "activating your link to the positive energy from the sun."
There is no truth to the statement.
>>36422646
This is why I cannot do yoga. I have zero respect for these people.
My ancestors were warriors and I live in an country that could get fucked up
>>36422718
The system was made up thousands of years ago and the people that adhere to it get bored by science, so you need to make up fancy words and stories to keep them interested
In practise,though, those teachings are as effective as they claim to be
>>36422294
I enjoy the mires from girls and watching the amount off weight I can lift slowly go up.
That and >>36422305 I seriously want to die if I don't do physical activity on a regular basis. Physical exertion on a regular basis is one of the best long term cures for depression, look it up senpai
>>36422646
It's not that chakras do not exist, there is just no spiritual/religious connection to them.
That part is utter bullshit, however the areas of the body that the the points represent are high stress/impact zones based of the nervous system.
Relieving the stress to these areas has positive gains for physical/mental aspects of the body.
example: sleeping in the fetal position puts stress on your pelvic floor and your l3-l4 joints.
This causes a mass of pressure in the groin and slows down the healing process for such an area.
Sleeping on your back with legs straight allows better flow throughout the body and causes these areas to not become stressed.

Pretty much this. I'm still weak af to be quite honest, but I really enjoy the challenge and it helps a lot with my self-esteem knowing that I'm not just sitting around wasting away. Yeah I have a job/school but that shit doesn't fucking do it for me.
>>36422305
My younger brother didn't lift, killed himself. Looked like a hungry skeleton.
Nothing.
Nothing motivates me to lift.
I have simply developed a habit of going and have friends who go. It is simply a meaningless action that I perform because I have no control anymore over the outcome of my own existence and don't know what else to do.
There was a time when I was excited and full of life, reveling upon the gains I made and the strength I was gaining and it really built my non-existent self esteem up. It felt really good.
Now for some reason that feeling is gone. I've stopped making gains(I'm getting heavier and weaker at the same time), I've stopped practising my rudiments, and haven't studied in over a month for anything. I don't care about anything anymore. I'm only 23 but I feel so much older and tired.
I'm also a kissless virgin.
God damn I like Alex Grays drawings
>>36422294
lifting has become a part of me as eating and breathing such that
>not wanting to lift
is a non word/phrase
Please save me /fit/
>girl I went to school with asks if I can sell her weed on snap chat
>we talk a little
>sends me a pic of a POM juice cap
>she circled the part that says "taste wonderful" and "feel it forever"
>she wrote put a text box saying "your cum"
>I responded "woah man"
She opened this 10min ago, no reply.... What do I do guise?
>>36422743
>WE WUZ VIKINGS AN SHEEEEIT
>>36424736
Since you fucked up
a. Wait for her response, and follow up with when can we chill?
or
b.if she doesnt respond pretend to go back to the weed selling topic meet up with her and try to flirt with her dont come off as desperate
>>36422294
Am I the only one who actually enjoys physical activity?
>>36424778
So maybe send her a photo of some bud I have?
>>36424742
>WE WUZ KAAANGZ
>>36424821
don't follow >>36424778 that advice, broseph
>>36424865
Then what do I do?
>>36424876
Just stop texting her
>>36424913
Why though? I'm a virgin m8
>>36424982
you sound underageb&, if you're asking an anonymous image board for life advice you've gotta be pretty fucking naive and fairly retarded if you're going with that advice.
from the sounds of it, you've already made your decision and are just looking for opinions that agree with you, it's pointless trying to change your mind.
Stupid is as stupid does.
>>36425019
I'd ask friends or a sibling if I had any. Sorry for being naive and stupid
>>36422294
Fatties. I hate them so goddamn much that it motivates me to lift when feeling worthless. I just come here, lurk a fat hate thread and carry on.
>>36422294
It feels good and makes me happy.
>>36422294
I want trappy-chan to be my
>wife
>>36423684
Grey*
>>36422294
Cause I don't wanna be an unhealthy useless shit anymore
>>36422294
I still have this delusion that by getting fitter in the right places I might make my body cuter despite being 22 and being the widest man I know (proportionally at least) despite being 140lbs for 5'8''.
My skeletal build won't ever allow me to have a body I won't despise, so I keep fit only so I can keep hearing "woah anon ur hot ;)" as a proof that I'm not alone out of other people's choice, but mine.
>>36422294
In the military, gotta max dat APFT dawg
also, I guess I could say I work out for the secondary effect of making me more attractive
working out allows me to eat whatever I want
>>36425996
post bod no homo
>>36422763
Chakras don't exist you fucking retard. Any joint or connective tissue in your body can be affected in a similar way.
>>36426090
I haven't allowed anyone to photograph me in years, not gonna start now
Especially to put it on the internet
