For me it was rage.
self hatred
for icefrog to nerf comeback gold and reduce raze mana cost
Despair
depression
I wanted to get bigger and stronger for sports and a lot of my friends/teammates did it so I got to have some good times with them
Lifting because you got bullied or couldn't get girls is beta af, kek
>>36927216
>her breaking me
>my entire family has lived their lives obese never knowing their true potential physically
We are stuck in these bodies so might as well make them look good, r-right?
>>36927216
I've always been weak and it feels nice to have some strength

>tfw you will never become a Super Saiyan
Because I've gained 50 pounds and if I just keep eating at the rate I am I will one day be like 500 pounds and then die of obesity.
I normally can't control my eating because my urge to binge eat is tied to how sad I am and I'm almost always sad.
I decided to lift because it makes me feel just a bit less shitty, enough that I can sometimes control myself.
Was 250 like 2 years ago then I went ham and got down to 195 and was in the best shape of my life. Then I got depressed again and got back to 250. Got down to 230 last month then injured my back and felt like shit and ate my way back to 246. Fuck my life
Consider myself too good not too. My life is a fucking miracle itself and I keep getting kicked in the gut. If my mother were still alive, I'd like to show her I became a man.
>>36927261

This. It's fueled my workouts for the past year and I don't think I'll be running out of it anytime soon.

Incurable autism for cartoon horses
Does /fit/ have mods yet?
It's changed over the years..
High school- played sports and HAD to. Never cared for it.
19-21 years old- living with grandma with no job n decided Fuck it, why not. Found self worth.
21-23- found /fit/ and other ways to actually learn the craft. Great gains n mad mirin. Basically, gains n kissy.
24-present- lift because it's a lifestyle/identity at this point. Experiment with routines and my bodies results. Couldn't imagine just stopping.
Made a promise to me and /got/, I'm keep in it.

I had a lazy slob programmer roommate who once kicked my ass at arm wrestling. Petty as it is that stuck with me and was one of the reasons I decided to start lifting.
Ran into him a couple years later, challenged him to a rematch, and damn near tore his arm off. It was then he revealed to me some arm wrestling techniques his dad taught him that let even someone with noodle arms beat an amateur.
Because I got in a lot of fights as a kid and was much smaller than the other kids. Few years of lifting later I started MMA and now I do both. The self improvement aspect is very addicting too.
>>36927216
I was tired of being skinny.
Looked in the mirror and realized that I looked like Auschwitz
Also wanted to look good for my Halloween costume

So currently I lift for pussy but also as a good role model for my younger sister.
>>36927330
Well don't just quit ya fat sack of shit. Don't go light on yourself. You skipped a lifting day? Do two lifting days to compensate. Don't be a weak little bitch and feel sorry for yourself. Yesterday, you said today, so just do it, friend.

I'm an anatomist. Dissected tons of bodies. Taught using tons more bodies. Got tired of seeing all the anatomy and not being able to discern my own.

I just wanted to look better
You all need to fucking see psychiatrists

this.
To be honest i fear the day when i will start to succeed and get everything i want because i don't want to lose motivation. I even refuse to openly ask girls out and keep being kind of a douche just to keep the rage going on. it's weird, but gets the job done.

Rage.
I was angry. And I've never stopped being angry. And no matter how much I lift. I can't not be angry. Now I'm just stronger and the anger won't go away.

I still don't get it. He brought up marriage. He picked out and saved for a ring...silver titanium ring (no unethical blood diamonds). He would tell me how our kids would have amazing genetics.
But then he cheats?
I don't fcking get it.
It's been 6 years...still think about when he sends messages or gifts every once in a while. Are guys this unfaithful? Christ, I'm glad we never progressed.
>>36927325
tfw a kid tried to express his persistence for an activity and it didn't happen and the guy still remembers it as a grown man. the only solution was to do it on your own and you learned from that.

-anon
>>36927236
Brain surgery when I was 17, couldn't walk on my own for two weeks and was at bed rest for like 2 months. Lost a lot of weight and I looked like a skelly. Told myself I would never look in the mirror and be dissapointed/sad with the way I looked ever again.
>>36929621
same here
I like it though because I apparently enjoy fucking like a rapist, so it all worked out
>>36929557
appreciate diamonds with certificates.
from what you mentioned it sounds like you were more focused on living the fantasy more than paying attention to how he moves. i don't mean stare at him and be careful. i mean if you don't understand his temperment and faith he is going to run the relationship and on top of that be the one who generates the resources for the house. something about him inspired you to be with him.
this is one reason why i generally have never dated girls who have a lot of guy friends and go out a lot. if the lifestyle point is different when you two meet you are then attempting to merge the two lives into one unit. he shuts off the parts where it is wrong to cheat. there are justifications and morals that come into play for the individual that make it easier for him to deal with the thrill/naughty. he is/was slowly becoming both parts of his double life. same goes for anyone pertaining to any two different lifestyles that are conflicting when the two merge.
tl;dr
>you all need to take shrooms

I wanted to be the fastest.
Failed losing weight all my life. Was a fat kid. At the point of giving myself one more shot, lose it or kill yourself because if you can't do this you'll continue fail in nearly every aspect of your life as well, what would be the point in living a life so mediocre it's painful? So now it's 100lbs later, working on cutting off the last . . . 20 probably? To get to shedville.

I only started l lifting because 2 years ago I started reading a shit load of Anon lifts fanfics where he got bunch of pussy because he was fucking jacked.....well it was horse pussy but I mean like hey...pussyes pussy man.

Rage, initially.
>Start at 15, angry at world because angsty bitch
>Start at 60lbs bench press x1, move up to 300x1 in 6 months
>Strong AF for a 15 year old, but repressed feelings of homosexuality and trans denial
>Do cardio, forgo gains and drop from 255lb fatfuck, to 140lbs
>Years later accept I'm really fucking faggy and also trans, get on HRT
>Live the high life and smoke weed to deal with crippling social anxiety and fear of everything that moves
>>36927377
Dayum son
>>36927216
Rage has fueled me to lift for the past 3 years. It ain't running out any time soon .
>depression
>self hatred
>needed an escape from life
Now I'm more confident, no longer depressed but I still hate myself. It's pretty good fuel though.

>>36930984
>>36930992
Not a lie. Did basic 5x4 or 5x5 whatever I was in the mood with, typically spent about 45 minutes lifting, with little to no rest in between putting weights on the bar or taking them off.
Puberty + Shit ton of test back then + Manlet = Gains gifted by God.
Was a pretty much a moving wall back then.

The frustration of failure in excess
I want to reach my maximum potential. I have many gifts in my life which I appreciate, and I wouldn't want to be far below what I could have been in the things which I could improve.
AI've been told a lot in my life that I was skinny. I am nowhere near skeleton mode but my arms have always been small. This is an insecurity that I want to tackle.
I think it's important for men to be strong to protect themselves, their loved ones and to show self respect.
>>36928217
are you me?
on a side note, i didnt know i enjoyed choking bitches that much.

To get my mind off her but as I started lifting and seeing results, the adrenaline rush of self improvement became an addiction.
Now I don't even want a girlfriend anymore. I just wanna get strong as fuck.
>>36927216
Alright /fit/, I'm gonna tell you something I usually don't tell people. Usually I'm the "quirky" weird that let's me pass for a slightly offbeat normalfag, but this is legit a full on sperg reason, but for some reason motivates me.
>Be me, 18 yo dyel
>Somehow acquire gf
>She's a qt3.14 Eurasian virgin who loves me (and I love her back) with an amazing ass
>Things are fine
>But sometimes I imagine "what if she dumped me"
>I'd either go on a bang session, or becoming a sad loser
>The reason I started lifting is so that if she were to dump me, I could get a new gf, or go on a bang session
Hopefully that'll never happen though, since she's awesome.
