Why do you lift, Veeky Forums?

>been lifting for a few months now, half-assing it
>break up with my fiancee, but still break my own heart in the process
>know I'll have to see her again in half a year from now
>been training as hard as I can since last week

It's still just for a woman, but... it feels good to give 110%. Feels good to drown the heartache in iron...

> I'll have to see her in exactly 6 months

Ummmm, why?

I just don't see any reason not to.
Also I enjoy quite a few of the lifts and making PRs.

Tournament of a sport we both do. We train at separate clubs now but it's guaranteed she'll be there.

lol gay

for fun

Because the high I get from lifting weights helps counteract crippling depression.

Show up with a hot bitch.

Did it to my ex the other week, I know she lowkey thinks she's hot shit, she always makes kinda half serious-half joking statements about being hot and when we were together she kept making jokes about how she was "way hotter than me and I was punching so much"

And I know she legit thought she was the best looking person I ever got with (Which wasn't even true at the time and especially isn't true after the months following) so when a mutual friend had a party I knew she'd be at I showed up with one of the hottest female friends I have, who is a massive GB and told me that if I ever wanted to use her to make someone jealous she'd be down.

Partied all night with the new girl (Who's actually an old friend)

Ex tried to pick me up about 4 times during the night has been hitting me up since and I heard she cried and went home during the party. Feels good.

Oh man, you son of a bitch.

I've always had out-of-my-league girlfriends, but never on a whim.
I'd love a scenario like that, but... 1 in a million.

Hot friends willing to do this or escorts my friend

No hot friends unfortunately, and if I'm hiring an escort, I just want to fuck 'em and not bring them with me.

We'll see.

I want the pain to go away.
I want to find inner peace.
I want to be stronger so I can endure more.
I want to live, I want to enjoy my life again.
So I lift.

What happened, my brother?

I...I don't know where to begin.

Start from the beginning, my son.

I could write several books on everything if i start from the beginning. Not to mention, just trying to recollect my jumble of thoughts to try and green text my life here. Perhaps I will have it written down in a notepad one day so I can copy and paste it in threads like these to help others relate and cope. As well as help myself.
But here's a quick run down.
>genetic failure from the start, Asthma would have killed me if it wasn't for modern medicine.
>Biological father unknown, and no one wants to tell me either (if they even know). I'm likely a mistake
>Raised by grandparents. Mother was vaguely around (physically) but did support me financially (so distant I thought she was my aunt)
>grandfather was an abusive alcoholic. terrorized the house almost every other weekend for years in my childhood
>In my youth I remember a unified house. Every week many of my aunts and uncles, cousins and all would come and visit. I loved my family.
>The family is now destroyed from the inside out due to everyone's greed and pride.
>My relationship with my mom, has been and continues to be garbage.
>Family handled all discipline (and pretty much any problem) with physical and verbal abuse. It's all they know being immigrants from a third world country. So I have years of ignorant anger as a form of "discipline".
>at age 10 I had my first kidney stone
>am now 22 and have passed dozens in my life time. 2 cases of them being as big as 10mm
>You will never, and i mean NEVER know the agony I went through (and continue to) with the kidney stones. Holy mother fucking shit I am still convinced I'm in hell.
>When I was in first grade, my appendix exploded in the middle of class. Very painful
>After middle school. I isolated myself, got fat and depressed for years.
I'm at the character limit. And my soul can't take it. I could have made 3 more posts giving you a rough GIST of all the fucked up shit. I'm gonna eat and go to the gym man. Thanks for getting me to try though

Damn dude , i wish you the best of lucks . We're all gonna make it.

Take care, man. You sound like an awesome dude, despite it all.

Life's a fucking piece of shit, but don't give up, and keep fighting, alright?
I mean, we're all fighting it, and while some have it harder than others, it's still the same fight.

And we're all at your side on this one, bro.

SWEEP THE LEG!

Nigger, that image is some middle-school goth shit. What the fuck are you doing?

I lift to feel good and look good for myself, i enjoy looking in the mirror and seeing how swole i am

I wont lie though, it would be awesome if girls liked muscles and being swole made dating easier but thats simply not true

Still, why not lift?

Don't give up man, but find a way to train for yourself. We can all make it user, I believe in you

What sucks is you'll get to a point where you won't think about her for days at a time. But that scarring will always be there.

It's been three years, but when I stumble across a picture of her my heart drops out of my ass. Sucks breh

I train so I can move faster, further and longer. I train so I can overpower and destroy. My aim is to stack hella bodies.

Do it for her

... so, you're already fit?
time to turn into a fat slob, that will show her!

I know, but it actually fits me completely, so you, what can I do

Thank you. You're really helping me with your support. I'm constantly alone in my own thoughts and it's not helping at all. Thanks, bro.

I'm sure.

I also believe this, though:

At least I try to convince myself of it.

Fit, but not swole. Hopefully swolefit is a thing.

Did you dump her cuz you two are on opposing teams?

Even this one sentence gave me the feels which made me stop and close my eyes.

This is the only good answer

I want to win the IPF.

I lift to stay healthy and to build general muscle development and strength.

similar reason, basically to lift the feels away. Before I was suicidal, now I'm only suicidal when I'm not lifting. progress in body and mind

Finish what nature started

do it

>2017
>not lifting for Christina Broccolini

It's like you guys don't even want to win the Ruby Classic or something

Does she have a K or two cs?

So I can eat more while not looking like a fat pile of shit because of it.

So I can look good for my A.I. anime sex robot when they are invented in ten years.
