What motivated you to get fit?

>What motivated you to get fit?

It may sound autistic but seriously, dragon ball is the reason i am training now.

Father was skinny fuck when he was my age. He got jacked so I decided to as well. My best childhood friend also got huge. On top of that I just started at FSU so I need to look good

Struggled with CFS from the age of 11 until about 21. I'm 23 now and I still feel like superman because I can do anything I want.

I'm now working out 4 times a week, studying full time and working 20 hours a week

>CFS
How do you even diagnose that?

It's a diagnosis of exclusion, so I was in and out of various specialists for like 4 years before I got diagnosed.

I have had a camera tube down my throat and taken an autism test, just to show how wide of a spectrum it is.

Getting called a skeleton all my childhood. People used to joke they would be able to play xylophone on my ribs

Literally did it on a whim

got a qt roommate and because of that I kind of started eating less to appear like less of a fatass, and that inadvertently caused me to lose a bit of weight, which I then decided to accentuate because why the fuck not? Might as well given the fact I already lost some out of embarrassment

I went to anime expo and was exposed to tons of hot anime bitches. I lift to look good in cosplay.

Junior in HS. One of my friends was 5'4" Auschwitz mode. He asks me what my weight is (this was around the time that the school was having a blood drive and min. 120lbs to donate; also 17+ yrs). I say to him 130 lbs (im not that tall either at 5'7"). he responds with "really? you look like you could be even skinnier than me"
mfw all the comments i have gotten about my weight, people calling me a skeleton come to my realization

i broke my ankle. fracture at the bottom of the bone, bad place for corrective surgery, had to let it heal naturally, work on feet all day, bone would not heal, went to doctor, he said i was putting too much stress on the break in normal day to day activities, only real option was to lose weight to reduce stress. i went from 260 to 165 back up to 185 now, trying for a cleaner cut this time

ex cheated on me with 2 ripped guys

ive put on 35lbs of lean mass since then but i still havent gotten to fuck another grill yet. Feels bad man.

yeah that'll do it

>terminally ill
>shit getenics elsewise
>poor family

I felt like it was pointless and cheap food and anime were probably going to be my only indulgences, but Iroh's training and self-brought liberation made me feel like maybe I could do it, too.

weighed 55kg at 5'9

doc told me i had to gain weight, and i figured working out would stop me looking gross

jokes on me though i took up powerlifting and am now overweight at 75kg anyway lmao

ex leaving and destroying any plans i had for the future.

>be one year older than her
>don't know what to take in college
>she wants to be a vet, so i take a random degree that they offer at the college she wants to take vet in
>SHE DOESN'T GET IN
>blames me for the long distance
>breaks up over it

>london elects a muslim mayor after getting bombed and after rotherham happens

liberals truly will never learn

I dunno, liberals are just normies. They wouldn't be so nauseatingly stubborn if (((someone)) hadn't taught them.

oy vey! better become vegan so you can only eat and spend time with fellow liberals, goy!

Kek, top bantz chap.

Mother and father are psychopaths getting big started out as a way to defend myself

like a lot of people i often have daydreams of saving someones life in a random situation and i want to be able to protect other people so i decided to get Veeky Forums to be capable of protecting and helping others if i ever get the chance

never move cities or do that kind of shit for girls, I learned it the hard way even though it worked out for me in the long run

Sure I lift to be impressive to women, but I think biggest thing for me is my health.

I had a free health check thing at work, and while all the parameters were fine, one was just on the edge. So fuck it, I'll sort this shit out.

Plus, I was a skinny guy who only can get girls that desperately need someone (depression, mental health issues). I'd like to look impressive for once.

I hate seeing my tummy, and while I'm not obese or fat really, it's sad to see chubby tummy. So I'm trying to lose that and be strong, so I can sweep a girl off their feet literally.

I had a girl fall asleep in my bed. I tried to move her to be in the bed probably and really struggled. She only weighed about 55kg at the most.

I got Veeky Forums and had my legs crushed by a car saving someone. Being heroic isn't as nice as it sounds.

Thats overweight?

Are you the guy that saved the little girl from getting ran over by a truck or some shit

story time user

just a guy who got dumped.
also bullied really bad throughout my middle school years.

the refugee crisis

I just really want to get some pussy

Was skinny fat, drank too much, hadn't been with a woman for months. Angry and bitter. Saw the movie Bronson and decided I could get fit in my shitty apartment with body weight exercises. Started doing push-up and pull ups everyday. Moved to a new city on a whim and got a roommate who was fit. Went with him to lift a few times. Started lurking Veeky Forums. He joined a local gym and I decided to too. Did SS + GOMAD.

Improved every aspect of my self. Became confident, healthy, less narcissistic, more extroverted. Got a good job. Got a good young faithful hot gf. Politics moved to the right. Energy went up. Smart, focused, assertive. Hell even my posture is good now. Thanks Veeky Forums. I don't think I would've made it without you.

My waifu.

Veeky Forums mires.

Saw Conan the Barbian on TBS when I was a kid. Nuff said

DBZ got me too. Seeing Super Vegeta's massive gains in just a few moments motivated me to start lifting.

Was a chubby awkward dweeb who watched anime and read history books and philosophy. After getting laid in my second year of university, and being somewhat disgusted at the person I plowed, I vowed to emulate my childhood and teenage heroes of Caesar and Alexander and sought to better myself mentally and physically. It's autistic, but I love the idea of Arête.
>TFW I get compliments on my bod whilst wearing a Tank Top with my waifu, Holo, on it

Top tier waifu. She'd proud.

Top tier waifu. She'd be proud.

being a worthless fat lard

now im a worthless fat lard that can lift more weights. i should srsly add some cardio

The upcoming grand happening.

You know hwy.

DBZ, I want a petite girlfriend too, I wanna be big so I can protect her, and make her feel safe when she's with me. Actual motivation though, seeing all this mediocrity wherever I go really hits home, it scares me that if I don't push myself past my limits, that i'll end up just like everybody else.

I don't wanna be that fat guy who can't please his wife. I don't wanna be that guy who's wife fantasises about other men, I wanna be so much more than simply "good enough" I can't, I won't, at this point I literally cannot fail at my goals, I will keep going and nothing will stop me, some days it hurts, some days I only get an hour of sleep but I wake up at 4am and get my fucking ass to the gym anyway because failure is literally not an option.

I just got tired of looking at my disgusting body. Having a hard time getting under 230lbs.

...

diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in January and the intensive insulin therapy made me gain a lot of weight really quickly. I've always been skinnyfat but after that I was just fat. I've lost 10+ lbs since the beginning of june so thats lit.

could you elaborate?

Tired of being told I'll never be loved because I'm fat, and that I'll never amount to anything. XGF also cheated on me. On the autism side, I really wanna cosplay JoJo at our local anime convention one of these years.

Suffering.

At the same time? Don't date whores

Started working out recently. Motivated by hate for my fat, normie family.

What's the significance of the card on his helmet? I know 4 of clubs, but this?

It's just a stupid Veeky Forums meme, look at the flared shape and smaller base under the band, it's a squatplug. the A stands for ass

When I was 15 and a scrawny lad I had an image of myself as a tall, jacked 21 year old and set to work

now I am a tall, jacked 21 year old

of course female issues help with motivation along the way

yeah
Legs are gonna be fine at least just need time to heal.

Condensed version
>Out for jog
>just finished, doing slow jog back home
>see little girl crossing the street like a dumbass
>truck coming around the corner
>start sprinting to pick her up and keep running
>brain tells me I ain't gonna make it
>decide to push her full force instead
>I do it, she goes flying, crysis averted
>gonna keep running to avoid truck
>I fucking trip, legs get run over(could be worse)
>luckily legs aren't torn, just crossed and broken
My legs are OK but my gains won't be. The girl scrapped her hands or something after she got launched but she's good.

did she give u succ?

Breakup that fucking destroyed me so I need something to keep me busy

girl that i loved for 4 year
jumped to other mans dick as soon as i left for master degree abroad

> betrayal is one hell of motivation
> nothing fuels you more

it was a little girl dude

By little girl I mean young. I've been talking to her sister though. I don't have any confidence right now so it might wait till I can walk again.

And?

i got tired of being the skeleton king

zyzz

and just personal reasons

i love the feeling of walking around and seeing skinny or fat people mire

its like discretely saying "im better than you"

exact same situation here, fuck her.

to be honest I'm semi-happy that it happened because now I've improved so much on myself

a girl, nothing motivates me more than staring at girls that are smiling and are happy

test

And?

1. Health
2. Attain aesthetic beauty
3. Relieve stress/frustration from work+school

made me laugh, but srsly good for you bro

Hajime no Ippo
Yes I'm autistic I know but that is some damn fine inspiration

test2

kek?

shave your beard and get some contact lenses so you don't look like a numale

Calling women who approach me whores.
I get off on shattering the confidence of women who approach me in search of self-validation.

Whats extra hilarious is when they give me their full name, I google and find out their in a relationship, and message their significant other that they're loved one is currently trying to cheat with me.

Getting proof is no problem, these women are retarded enough to take a selfie with me and always send me a copy to keep.

test3

I just wanna be able to punch things really hard

Nah bro, Dragonball was my reasoning aswell.
Now I lift because whenever I'm not big enough, I don't feel comfortable wearing t-shirts due to body dysmorphia.

Here's some motivation then

This.
I want to be able to pull off a FMA major Armstrong cosplay or a Guts cosplay.
Also I'm fed up with being fat, already lost 20 lbs and have no plans to stop.

>that happend

why must you lie on an anonymous turkish powerline repair forum?

That's real damn nice. I hope the girl's family took you to dinner or some shiv.

My own fat ass being a sad sack of shit. Goku is my goal. My past is what I never want to be again.

*tips fedora*

>terminally ill
>shit getenics elsewise
I know these feels. I've been lifting for the past 5 years. I still look like shit because I have to take months off at a time for treatment/life management shit, but I always come back determined to do more before I have to stop again.

It's not about finishing the race it's about running it. We're gonna make it, brah.

got the beetus type 1 when i was a kid was still unhealthy for a long time then realized i needed to get my shit together if i didn't want to really hurt myself in 10-20 years

...

started because >muh get ex back
continued because I started to enjoy improving myself and stopped being a lazy fuck

So i can feel better about my shitty life, at least my body is something i have control over and can make it look good.

Tired of being a fat piece of shit and motivated by self-loathing.

Suicidal depression
An unbelievable low opinion of myself
A pinch of autism
Body image issues

DBZ and Spiderman actually inspired me to get into calisthenics however.
