You can always improve yourself

Self-discipline and improvement. Having a good body is a virtue, unless it becomes an obsession.

THROUGH WEIGHTS I GAIN POWER

THROUGH PUSSY I GAIN CHILDREN
THROUGH CHILDREN I GAIN INFLUENCE
THROUGH INFLUENCE I TAKE THE WORLD

Would you rather be strong, or be weak? The answer should be obvious.

>I lift so that my future kids will look up to me as their role model

Be strong so that i can beat people if i want to.
Wont happen though since people know i can beat them since im strong.

“Muscles, I found, were strength as well as form, and each complex of muscles was slightly responsible for the direction in which its own strength was exerted, much as though they were rays of light given the form of flesh.

Nothing could have accorded better with the definition of a work of art that I had long cherished than this concept of form enfolding strength, coupled with the idea that a work should be organic, radiating rays of light in all directions.

The muscles that I thus created were at one and the same time simple existence and works of art; they even, paradoxically, possessed a certain abstract nature. their one fatal flaw was that they were too closely involved with the life process, which decreed that they should decline and perish with the decline of life itself.” -Yukio Mishima

I have been embarrassed taking my shirt off in public since I was a kid. Getting to the point where I'm comfortable shirtless would be amazing.

I still have a little tummy that moves a little when I walk, but I think I still look decent given my arms shoulders and chest looking good.

Movement is fundamental, but don't let exercise take over your life. Unless you're a pro athlete or model, make having fun and being healthy your priority. Don't wear yourself out by the time you're 30 just so you can get some cock/pussy at the club.

I could not imagine looking like that, holy shit. So glad I'm not ugly.

My philosophy for lifting is the categorical imperative.

I lift so that I may live in a kingdom of gains.

Anon... I'm so sorry.

These. Lifting should be part of a lifestyle that's focused on self-improvement and success that also includes education, friendship, financial gains and meditation.

That's why roiders are idiots.

If you fall down seven times you only need to stand up seven times.
