>reason I lift
So I'm not a weak faggot that can't protect the things I love. Also, aesthetics feels great/gives me confidence, plus the added bonus of knowing that I'm stronger than the majority of the population. Essentially, it's an ego booster that goes into every aspect of my life.
>What got you into lifting
At age 15, I was at the park with my dog and a few of my friends when the "cool" kids show up, high off ecstasy, and cut hair off my doggo. I beat the shit out of one of them and then I get beaten to a bloody pulp by one of their stronger, older friends. After that, I picked up the barbell.
>what changes other than physical have you seen after starting to lift
Obvious one is discipline as well as pride for having create something so beautiful. N-no homo. More energy, higher sex drive - all around more masculine energy.
>Pre-lifting
Probably like 6/10. I was the fat, insecure kid that people laughed at when I ran. Basically, the lack of confidence is what motivated me the most to go to the gym
>Post lifting
Probably an 8/10, the confidence is an amazing boost and having a cold shower right after a workout feels amazing.
>Post body pic
Why would I post a pic of myself on a Mongolian sweater-knitting site

Thanks, fellow Veeky Forumsizen! When they say how starting lifting will change your life, they speak the truth.

>I lift now to regulate my test. If I don't lift I become beta and self conscious. Lifting clears my head and it something I'm good at. Also, it let's me help others who are noobs.
>for me, lifting helps center me. It's more of a mental state I get into after working out and waring semi clean. I feel better about myself and it carries forward into my decisions in life.

Extreme confidence boost.
>how would you rate your life pre-lifting and post-lifting
Pre-lifting life I would say was better because I was mentally okay with being a NEET loser, and didn't care what I ate, and played vidya for 12 hours a day. It was blissful. Now I'm much more critical of myself, and take failures much harder than I use to.

6/10 loved vidya before lifting and it made me pretty happy but it's not a real hobby, but no freinds. 5-9/10 depending on week, have freinds and lots of bros. Some days I feel this huge emptyness inside me, lifting helps

This. If getting laid is your goal you're better off working on your social gains

>huge emptyness inside me
ppl are gonna try telling you that's where love is
that is not true
i tried filling that emptiness with love, and while i love my current gf (been together 4 years now,) it only distracts you from that emptiness. that emptiness is only filled by doing what you love for a living and being fully engaged by it - i hope you find whatever that is, youngbrah. getting laid along the way definitely helps too.

100% true. My friend who has a 3/10 body but is legitimately one of the funniest, most engaging and dominating personalities in the room gets laid every single night he goes out.

You can find out more on

my face is like 3/10 so i have to get a greek body atleast to make up for it,I been on several dates but they never give me a 2nd

>all these non-virgins
Considering the general aptitude of the guys that use Veeky Forums on a regular basis, how did you guys dealt with your first time? Where you fit?

I should also add that losing my virginity didnt fill the gaping void in my soul, it probably just made it larger, although that may only be due to the circumstances in which I lost it

Fucking hell i meant my family, not senpai...

>how did you guys dealt with your first time?
what? using Veeky Forums doesn't define who you are m8
i lost my virginity to my gf when i was 16, i've been using Veeky Forums since i was 13. just because the losers here are more vocal about it, believe that there's an equal amount of them on leddit or 9gag

at least thats how I justified it when it happened to me

I had sex since then though

or could've been how i lost my virginity, couldn't get hard because i had 8 shots of whiskey but still full well put my limp dick in her
fug'd her properly the week after so it's all good tho

Lost virginity at 16. /b at 21?? /Fit maybe only last 4 years? I dunno anymore.
>29
At 16 I wasn't fit, but I had charisma and I just asked every girl if they wanted to fuck. I knew chances are at least one would say yes.
