Why do you lift /fit/?
>>37177961
It's fun.
Myself
originally it was to squat 4 plates. I'm more or less there now (PR is 2x3x168kg) so now I lift to squat 200kg
For penis gains.

Because no one will ever love me if I don't.
No one will ever love me regardless, and I'll achieve nothing and die along, but I may as well be 2swole2control about it.
For red ruin
I don't know anymore.
Back in March I had a wild experience with a fortune teller, she brought up this girl I'd fallen head over heels for. The girl has no idea who I am, but the gypsy assured me to keep busting my ass - that I'd have my shot in July.
At first I was lifting to try and recoup some of the strength I lost due to a savage injury a few years back (and to lose the massive weight gain I went through due to giving in to depression). Just the sight of that girl changed something in me... I was lax with my diet, I skipped days in the gym, I'd lose 20 pounds injure myself and regain 15.
I've dropped 90 pounds since January. I don't know what Summer will bring (aside from the flood of newfags) but I hope to be ready.
It's strange, I'm full of butterflies and my mind keeps snapping to the thought of this chick... But recently I realized that I have a life ahead of me now. Glimpses of an adventure.

The only things that are certain in life are death and summerfags.
>>37178342
damn dude, how have you lost 90lbs in like 20 weeks give or take?

After 1 year I can't manage to do a 2pl8 squat. I'm soon to commiting suicide.
>>37178443
are you eating enough anon?
>>37178370
The Protein Sparring Modified Fast. It's a grueling diet, as effective as it is torturous. I even made fantastic strength gains on it for the first month and a half - took my reps to 1/2/3/4 and some change, I put about 50 pounds on all of my lifts while running Candito's Linear Program.
That all came crashing down due to the severe lack of glycogen.
Now it's just cardio 3 days a week and maintenance lifting twice a week.
My will-power is off the chain. For the 4 months I've been on this fast I've been working 10 hour shifts between a pizza oven and the pasta station as a line cook.
>>37177961
It's just one of the many aspects of my life I'm trying to sort out so that when I have a son I can show him the ways of a good life without having to wait too long to discover it for himself.
Bet I end up with daughters...
>>37177961
Because my life would be empty otherwise
>>37177961
Because maybe if I get bigger and stronger, she will love me again.
>>37177961
I pump for Trump
>>37177961
Because I have to defend my city.

>>37177961
For fun.
I love the feeling of being destroyed and trembling after a workout. And having something to do outside of work besides shitposting and vidya.
I also like bullshitting with my friends who lift because I'm way stronger than them but look proportionately smaller than them (tall).
Losing weight (why I came to /fit/ in the first place) also gave me huge face gains, now I'm working on everything else.

I lift coz I've been teetering on underweight my entire life (>25yrs) and about 1/3rd of that spent slouching in front of a computer screen. I wanna look good w/o a shirt. I don't care about slags, I just lift for myself.
Also because adding more weight to the bar gives me some sort of sense of achievement that I can't seem to get from elsewhere because I'm unable to think very well.
>>37177961
because i have nothing better to do
i used to be addicted to MMO's but since wow has gone to shit all my autisms transferred well to lifting -- setting out a long term plan, small but measurable progression, filling out my little spreadsheets and watching the numbers go up is really enjoyable. also life is pretty boring on the whole and i look forward to the intensity of getting to smashing heavy weights around. it's very much an outlet.

quads = truth
I do it to be a better person. Since I started I feel like I've learned a lot. It's only been 5 months but I feel more in tune with my flaws. I've realized how desperate I am for sex. I realize how rude I am. I realize how little self control I have. I realize how impatient I am. I feel like I'm becoming a better person.
I lift to look good and to prepare myself for next winter season
I lift because I remember what it was like to be fit and athletic, and I remember what is was like to look at myself and not think "Eh, not bad," but to think "Damn, look at me!" I want to be able to manipulate my body and my environment easily again, to make pull ups look easy, and to gain aesthetics. And every time some Stacy or hamplanet looks at me, I want to see the look of inferiority in their eyes. That secret, burning jealousy that deep down in their mind, they know they could have had the same thing if they didn't stuff their face, and picked up heavy things and put them down.
I just want to look good without a shirt on..
I love swimming. I love the beach. I love the thought of hanging out with hot girls in bikinis and being able to have my shirt off and they look at me mirin.
It's all I want, /fit/. It's too late this summer, but at least next summer I know I'll be able to.
I just need to keep going.
>>37177961
to be able to put these in my mouth
>>37178843
I like that. I too pump for Trump
So I can lick and caress slender girl's delicious midriffs.
>you will never be an Iron Warrior
>>37177961
To feel good about myself
Already have a girlfriend, she kinda looks like Emma Leigh, so I'm good
And a few people remarked that I've become fit, or more muscular at least
>>37181666
iron within
>>37177961
Because at this point it feels like a drug. I lift until I go numb. Feels amazing every time.
i'm 30 and i want to feel horny again

In hopes that I may one day share the same zip code as a pair of her week-old socks

What's up Blake didn't know you were a /fit/izen
>>37178512
Jesus, can you share some of that insane discipline?
>>37178277
This desu. I wish that gyms would pre-screen the losers so that I wouldn't waste time pursuing shit I'd never achieve.
>>37179543
I miss that thread...
>>37183212
brehs...
>>37179741
I wasn't expecting this.
To make men feel bad about themselves and to make women feel bad about their man
>>37179741
how are you rude?
>>37177961
>Why do you lift /fit/?
So I can deliver maximum performance on race day and do my part to bring my team to victory.

I lift to keep me away from vidya gaems.
I lift to regain the discipline I once had.
I lift to get beefier, because being a 6'2 skelly is horrible
I lift to impress my friends.
I lift for her
>>37177961
get big or die trying to get bigger
>>37177961
to have a better blood circulation while posting memes
got nothing else to do
Here's why my life looks like right now
>Wake up
>Breakfast
>School
>Lunch
>More school
>Workout
>Dinner
>Study
>Sleep
This is everyday including weekends. I can't remember what my life was like before I started lifting and I can't imagine I'll be able to fill the void if I stopped. It's pretty shit and I wish I had other hobbies but school takes up most of my time and it doesn't help that I'm autistic af.
>>37177961
Like it better than other forms of exercise and it's important to have some sort of workout routine. Having significantly more muscle mass than the average man is also kinda nice. Makes me feel good.
>>37187220
>>37178512
Jesus fucking christ. Kudos.
So that I could be in similar situation like this and not have to look away and feel self-concious and shit.
>>37177961
I lift for beach
>>37177961
For the strength to clean taytays pussy of all that black semen
>>37177961
Vanity and respect.
>>37190526
you sad northern bastards
I lift for myself.
More precisely I lift for egotistical reasons.
Every time people mire, every time I get a comment that I'm big or intimidating, every time a girl is into my body, every time I fuck a girl and she holds my arms or grab my muscular back, it's just food for my insatiable ego.
Yeah I'm a vain piece of shit, but I play it cool and it makes me happy.

How much protein and total calories have you been getting per day if you don't mind me asking? I just started and I'm getting about 150g of protein in 800 calories of mostly chicken breast.
