I cannot find any greater satisfaction in life than building my body that God or whatever life forces out there have given me. There is no greater peace knowing that its all in my hands. Victory or defeat depends on my action. To enjoy the fruits of this labour with my loved ones makes it all the better as I go through the life experience of existence.
Why do you lift?

To fuck in the bath room after
>>35724274
I got into really solid shape playing sports in high school and college and can't imagine allowing myself to get weaker. It kicks ass to have a body that won't let me down when I throw new challenges at it.
If you're in it to impress people, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
>>35724274
to get the fit body and end it all when i make it.

Being born the prince of a warrior country would be pretty goddamn conducive to conquering.
Just sayin, Alexander had some shit going for him.
I lift so I can develop a life of self-mastery and discipline.
After correcting my fashion perspective, it is the latest major thing I did for females, starting to lift. However, I stayed in for endorphines.
Don't worry Elliot, I'm going to score for both of us bruh.
to get fuckin joocy
>>35724390
>tfw you'll never be born into a warrior-caste or society that values masculinity and conquest.
I started MMA, bout the closest I'll ever get.
i lift to feel superior to individuals out of shape, to maybe one day get The Poo Tang, and to look good (to others)
and i don't pretend there's a deep meaning to lifting, because there is none

You could always join the military or move to a country like Israel where both men and women serve in the IDF.

to be as strong as my father was when I was 10
Health.
Because of it, I'm off all my medications and only visit the doctor once a year now just for a yearly check-up instead of every three months to follow-up on medications. Not to mention, it makes me feel so good. I never felt so good in my entire life.
So I'm not a fat neckbeard getting out of my neckbearded car.

as an automotive technician I had to start throwing shit around and screaming inside a pillow while destroying my bed post
>>35724727
I figured I'd get this response. 0 desire to join the US military, just doesn't seem the same as antiquity. I mean yeah it's all probably overly romanticized but eh let a man dream.
>>35724274
So I can post shitty quotes from dead people on /fit/.
>>35724274
I want to look good in the mirror, and help overcome my shyness with a nice body
plus seeing results is addicting, I want a model type body (as a goal, not there yet ofc).
>>35724770
>lifting is healthy
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>35724810
It's not that bad. Pretty fun shitbox.
Initially - to bump up my TDEE because I'm a former fatty and love to eat.
Then I realize that I've got a nice body and started to mire myself all the time, so I keep lifting to continue look good.
I wanted to say that I lift for grills but my personal experience showing that no lifting will give you even a kiss, not even a gf, and I got tired of empty mires that end nowhere.
>>35724274
>tfw crooked teeth and small jaw
Why even lift?
it helps with my anxiety
kind of a pain to have to work out every fucking morning so that i dont get anxiety when in class or something, but theres not much i can do. ive been dealt these cards, might as well call each bluff i see since i have nothing to lose.
I exercise hard to wash my sins
>>35724727
Lol the women are pretty much only for propaganda. The fact they're wearing bikinis makes that obvious.
Had this as my desktop wallpaper for a few months. I cant not lift after reading this.
If I have to protect/save someone or myself one day
>>35725275
Better buy a gun faggot
Preparing for RaHoWa.
My dad bought a bunch of heavy shit that I'm going to have to be able to move to deal with when he finally figures out he will never, ever do anything with it
>>35724274
all my life since i was born till the day i day, i am average. mediocre. i had a mediocre upbringing, went to a mediocre school, a mediocre university, got mediocre grades, ill get a mediocre job, retire at a mediocre age,die at a mediocre age.
i just want one thing. just one thing where i can excel. be great. be aweinspiring
>>35724274
Because I want to be more stronger than the other males, and because I'm an attention whore
>>35725321
I'm not an amerifat. Also, when I mean save someone, It's not 100% from another person. How will a gun help you out when you have to lift/break something?
>>35725325
Goebbels is a qt3.14, minister of nazi propaganda with a sissy twink body
I lift so that I can get a qtpi gf who loves me, loves my body, wants to bang all the time, and looks fantastic and is moderately intelligent.

I lift so I can fuck your mother
>>35726380
I don't wanna grow old, never having been ripped ;_;
>>35724274
Because I hate myself

i want to be so thick and big that my low self-esteem suddenly disappears.

He also had genius level abilities in leading men, armies, and military tactics. He was also skilled at integrating multiple cultures like Persians and Greeks into one powerful army although he eventually misplayed his hand there

Was driving home from a hard ass fuck final, literally wanted to cry and just give up. As I was driving a cop car passed and I wanted to become a cop but then I thought to myself how can I have a college degree and just be a cop?
When I finally got home it hit me. I want to be in SWAT, then I said I need to be stronger. So I took lifting more seriously and in 2 months of serious measuring my macros Im almost at 2pl8 squat and 3pl8 deadlift.
I fucking want this, I want to be in SWAT. I could care less about what grades I get in class, I just go to school for the gym, never has anything been so clear
And Im going to fucking do it.
>>35725184
I deleted that because of what the painting is.
I was tired of being insecure and weak. Looking in the mirror and seeing flab and a double chin isn't any good.
>>35724274
I lift because it feels fucking amazing. And I want to push myself beyond my limits and be stronger than I've ever been before.
The aesthetic benefits are definitely pleasing, but I absolutely lI've just overall being stronger. Kinda like in vidya when you feel great when you level up stats, it's the same feeling but times 10 when increasing lifts. Yeah I wanna get big, hopefully that comes once I start lifting heavier, but I really wanna just get strong as a motherfucker.
i lift to forget about my ex who crushed me. i refuse to ever let myself feel emotional pain again i'd rather be in so much pain from lifting i cant move than to be some sad ass clown who cant move on with his life.
as Arnold has said - the PUMP, my favourite is the bicep and quadricep.
Stealing glances at myself in the mirror and mirin' is also a plus
Because I wanna do cool shit with my body. I wanna be able to throw someone who wants to fight me, I want to be able to pick up a girl and put her on my shoulders, I want to be able to be a human flag, and I want people to view me as an upstanding and high value individual even though I'm anything but.
>>35726716
>I want to be able to pick up a girl and put her on my shoulders
>>35726730
I've calculated that for my personal preference in women (skinny, bikini bridge minimum) I'll need to be able to OHP 70 something KG, I'm at 40 now, so technically I'm about 6 months to a year from that goal max.
>>35724274
i lift because its my emotional release, sad angry whatever it maybe.
keeps my focused and level
>>35726605
Gunna want to do some more body weights, rucks, and sprints/running mate.
To feel better about myself and for girls.
Hasn't really helped the second thing because of me fucking every opportunity up.
>>35726758
Dont forget that ohping a straight metal bar is not the same as lifting a ragdolly human body which also feels pain when you grab it too strongly
I want to look better, which is the obvious one.
Its something to do as a NEET aside from fap and vidya and I get off on the though of being stronger than most men,
It's a good stress reliever too.
>>35726990
Yeah, the average weight of my exes is something like 45-50 KG so the extra 20 is to account for that.
>>35725939

I really enjoy lifting heavy things and putting them down, i hope to be able to lift even heavier things and put them down.

a-anon, I've got bad news. You're on the road to being bald by the age of 30
>>35724274
>Why do you lift?
For sports. Otherwise I'd just run or swim and do some bodyweight stuff

To be at my best when Ragnarok comes desu senpai arigato gozaimus. Also it gets me more pussy and coworkers defer to me when I get rowdy.

Mens sana in corpore sano
I lift because it is part of the key to a fulfilling life.
>Develop Discipline
>It never fails to cheer me up when I see my body in the mirror
>I have naturally chubby cheeks and keeping my diet in check and working out consistently allow me to minimize the fat in my face.
>Gives me something to do
>Allows me to do better in jiujitsu even though I really shouldn't be relying on my strength

Enjoy your gf while the hair lasts. She'll be gone within 2 years at this decline rate.

I lift for the ladies, gotta look good.
I think being fit is just as important as a good hairstyle, hygiene and banter.
feels good
>>35724274
given the current political and socio economic tides i want to be in shape for when Jesus Christ and Imam Mahdi come to fight the anti christ. Not saying it's going to happen in our life time but i want to be fit and prepared in case it does happen and also to survive the economic collapses/wars that will precede such an event.
The woman I love loves someone else. I lift so that one day I will hopefully be strong enough to lift these emotions from my heart.
injury prevention for sport.
>>35728328
Both Muslims and Christians agree that we're resurrected in our bodies on Judgement Day.
I want to look juicy as fuark for all eternity.
All I need is someone to kill me before I'm 30.
>>35728610
Lol i guess but the last thing ill be thinking about is my gains as opposed to y'know being judged by the lord. Its a really heavy thought bro, just you, your sins/good deeds, and the creator
I want to feel sexy and good in my body, and get stronger.
Also, anime.
Being more muscular, fitter and taller than most women makes me feel superior. I just feel fucking amazing and powerful. Women are usually weak and bitchy and knowing that I've done everything in order to do my best despite my sex and biological limits set by it, gives me such boost in basically everything. I've always been a sort of a tomboy and lifting and doing other masculine shit is what makes me the closest I can get to be a man.
>>35724773
Damn I'm jelly. Nice driftbox
