Define Grit man?
Do you mean grit as in mental fortitude?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, grit in the context of behavior is defined as “firmness of character; indomitable spirit.” Duckworth, based on her studies, tweaked this definition to be “perseverance and passion for long-term goals.

I've been lifting for years, and while I can safely say my sense of confidence has strengthened I've yet to find an opportunity to test my real world resolve beyond the extent of first year problems.

Overcoming heavy ass weight? Ain't nothin but a peanut. But how do you become a badass like the characters portrayed by Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, or those in Tarantino films?

My mistake

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

Eat shit and die then, you waste of my God damned time.

Anyone else want to be a non-contributing copypasta posting piece of shit? Seek your attention elsewhere.

Grit can be accuired through testing your metal as they say.
My alcoholic dad come home from vietnam and started a family it was hell and i survived...gave me perspective of what i could endure and overcome.
Then i went off into the world became a hard core drug addict...and survived that shit.
All the while ive always been a hard worker and into skateboarding rock climbing surfing snowboarding sport fucking and fighting.
Grit is a frame of mind when the body wants to quit the mind can over ride that and keep qoing

You know there is another tier of grit tho right. Do you have that?

Do intense stuff outside, like backpacking, week-long raft trips and sailing. Eventually things will go tits-up and you'll have nobody to get you out of it but yourself and you'll have to endure serious uncertainty and discomfort.

Play manly sports with manly men like football and rugby where you'll have to push through issues to have your teammates' backs.

Involve yourself in anything competitive and refuse to lose. This can even mean being pre-med in college and studying until your eyeballs burn.

T B H I see a lot of rich kids with more grit than middle class and poor kids because they have the resources to do things outside of their work/school/entertainment bubbles. Third world poor has that kind of grit but that's rare in the US. By contrast, self-made rich men tend to have a lot of grit because they've been competing hard for years.
