What makes you go to the gym, guys?

My one shot at Special Forces is in two years. I'm not going to fuck it up.

It's better than being a disgusting fat piece of shit

There is no chilling out. Nothing less than the squandering of the jewels of the world has persisted.

And all for the most banal of needs.

Do you have an olympian physique naturally?

Spec Ops (USA) is a trap for most candidates because most candidates drop out. Once they drop out, they can be assigned to any unit.

Try for something with a TS/SCI clearance UNLESS you actually do have an olympian physique or a supernatural will.

To look good naked and mire myself in the mirror.
To see how much shit I put in my body when planning meals.
To be a better version of my father.

I was fat, now I'm less fat and would like to be not fat.

>Stress Relief. It clears my mind before I work.
>It keeps me fit
>I like that I can do several activities that weak/fat normies can't.

I haven't even made it yet user but I'm already reaping the benefits. I don't know why people trash talk being healthy all the time.

>I hate fat people and weak men, so going to the gym is a way to prevent me from becoming that

Cuck

Already have a TS/SCI. I'm an Officer, a 1LT, so i'm not some 16 year old future 18X.

to get a bf to cuddle, kiss, workout with, play games with, read together, hike together, and do bro things with
no homo

Idek at this point, it's kind of just something I do, it's not like I have to motivate myself to do it ever.
I started lifting because I was skinny and whilst not being insecure, I wanted to change that, but also because lifting looked cool in general.
Now I like it for the small dopamine rush you get when you lift. I also especially like that I can optimise certain variables and subsections of those variables in order to maximise gains, eg your programming, rest, diet
I would say I have pretty bad OCD also (in a very clinical sense, although you wouldn't notice at all from the way I present myself) and lifting kind of reduces the intensity of it and it fits into my compulsive lifestyle.

I like working out

same, for this reason

>I despise men over 30 who've given up on life. No hunger, no desire, no nobility, no thought.

This. I just had my first kid and 30 is around the corner and it's fucking gross to see all these middle-aged cucks running around letting thier pathetic lives beat them into a mushy pile of worthless fucking goo both physically and mentally with no respect for themselves or thier families.

I'm a NEET with nothing better to do for now.
It's the most efficent way to re-shape my body for the better.
Moving heavy things around better than other people makes me feel powerful.
Finishing a good workout session feels rewarding.

>Recently got married
>Wife has doctorate in chemistry
>I work as a research specialist
>Make way more money than needed.
>Gonna go full trophy husband

I just want to get strong as fuck and look big.

Women, ultimately.

By the end of the day I know it's a shitty, weak, beta atitude to do something for the sake of female attention, but I've missed out on my teenage years (and am currently missing out on college love) because I was ugly, and I decided it was time to change shit. I just want to look 10+ years down the line and have a wife. That's it. If I have to lift weights and inject myself with poison to achieve that, I'll do it. Idgaf what you faggots say, I'll hit 20 march next year and I can count my experiences with females in a single hand. None of them led me to sex, mostly just fooling around and shit.

It's pathetic, sure, but it's a hell lot better than turning into a sluthate incel.

I like lifting and making gains it's very rewarding

Is it true you only get one shot at 18A?

Because I'm in the military and I could lose my job if I stop being able to crank out a buttload of pushups.

Also because women.

Yes. Officers get one shot and that's it.

Dudes who look better than me or are stronger than I am.

There is something primal about the desire to improve and strive for progress that I give in to. It allows me to feel good about myself even though there are always better looking or stronger guys than me, because I know I'm constant improving and progressing.

It works for me.

unemployed
gf pays for it

>I'll hit 20 march next year
That grammar..You trying to tell me you are only 19? I lost my virginity at 24. You are young, don't fret it.

>job security
You mean like in a loading pier?

Because it's the only thing I have in my life outside of work

Still feel like I'm missing out. I see teenagers dating a shitton of people and it ain't a nice feeling.

Thanks for the heads up tho, hopefully by 24 I'll be jacked af

nigga you are 19 relax lmao

The desire to become Veeky Forums and no longer /fat/

I hate who I am.

i fucking hate myself and how my body looks most of all

I want to look cool!

Curl bros hide their legs out of shame and only expose their arms

Body dysmorphia from watching too much dbz

I want to look at myself in the mirror and be mirin'. I don't give a shit about girls, you don't need muscles to get girls or a gf or bf or any of that shit.

I care about myself and I want to look the best I can.

Dis

>women
> I love the way they kiss my abs until they get to my dick.
> I have zero personality so I have to work out to compensate.
> been getting uglier every year since I passed 24

I want to be hard to kill.
Lifting weights helps.
I try to level luck when I'm not dumping points in Str.

>Lifted for a girl

>worked together at the same and knew she hated working here.

>She leaves work and the country entirely to go back home

I think it's mostly pride in my progress and a bit of cucked anger that keeps me going.

I LIFT SO A CUTE GUY WILL FUCKING NOTICE ME, GAYS ARE CRUEL CREATURES

What's with these guys? Chad status has been revoked

Buffalo Bill Mindset

I want to look in the mirror and say without a shred of irony "I'd fuck me."

Because if I die having never known how strong I could've been and how good I could've looked, then I've missed out on some of the best things in life.

They literally dont. Well maybe in Murica. In Denmark Its well admired.

You are a kid in mind still. Grow up. Clean your room.

>doesnt hurt that its good for your overall health
Delusion

>I see teenagers dating a shitton of people
And they all lead to disasters and way more heartbreak than any positive gains

Stay single and enjoy it while you can

I really enjoy it
Doing a good strength-based program with accessories is the easiest way to set goals and see yourself achieve them

>all these meatheads hurting themselves

I want to be better than everyone and look down upon others

Narcissism, I really want to look good.
I'd also like to have a hot bf someday.

Gosh you're a faggot

What's better?
>climb to the top, stressing out every week, never be actually happy
>be comfortable and happy

Just to leave my room and do something that isnt embarrasing to do alone.

Tired of being fat, just started going to the gym and I mostly want to look better both in general and for cosplay since I am a weeb.

1488

Because I hate myself

> when you do 8 reps just to be sure you did all 4 reps

>just to get a nicer body
>then I wanted to be able to bench 2 plates
>changed into a necessity, because if I didn't work out I wouldn't be able to sleep that night, and I'd have to masturbate 5 times
>now it's a distraction to forget my ex

...

a true narcissist doesn't work out because he already beliefs in a false self that is perfect and thus doesn't need to workout.

How many moments have you lost shitposting on an anime forum

Your physique is the one of the few things in life that has a linear curve of progress. No matter how shit the rest of your life is, as long as you go to the gym regularly, there's at least one aspect of your life that you're always improving.

I have a genetic predisposition to heart disease. I also have asthma in remission. So I have to keep myself healthy to minimize the chance that these things fuck up my shit. Also I wanna be pretty

>linear

Honestly I want to be strong and fuck good quality pussy, nothing more nothing less.

a bit too tryhard. i liked it at at the start though

>caring what teenagers do

23 -- youre so young!
24 -- youre so young!
25 ->when are you getting a gf?

They are like tears in rain.

I'd probably just kill myself if I didn't go to the gym

I need to be ready for the days when we can collectively nut the fuck up and drag our satanic, child-raping owners out into the street for public evisceration.
Serious.

Crippling selfhatred

not killing myself and wanting to have a hot gf

i get so riled up thinking about how if i had stop dicking around and gotten my shit together during my teens i could've drowned in pussy because i'm not bad looking. better late than never i guess though.

To like my body.
To forget reality.

-To not despise myself
-I want to look bigger to gain respect i guess
-Lookin' good for my gf
-And for myself
-I guess i don't have the right to be obese since it's a personal responbility to become better every day

Life isn't about happiness. And happiness is one of those things that comes to one, not something that one pursues and catches for an eternity.

But we also live in a society very opposed to being "comfortable" except only in the most obscene ways. How can you be comfortable living in a societal ponzi scheme?

You don't. You always have to be steps ahead. Or else you'll see how small and pitiful that "comfortableness" was. How fragile thy house is, so to speak.

Think of your entire experience as...frames. Spread them out on a mental table and you'll find how my "tryhard" explanation is mild in comparison to the extent of the crime against the soul and against human calculation.

Nobody will ever apologize for wasting your fucking time with useless bullshit. And you'll get older and you'll see peers lose their fighting spirit. They'll even embrace and break themselves to fit in with most others who do the same thing.

There's getting old and there's being such a sack of shit that you use age as an excuse to seek the lowest level of energy.

my car.

life isn't about anything. We just happen to be here. There is no purpose. If you believe anything else you're retarded. Make of your life what you want, not what others want for you. I'm not saying that where most people say they're comfortable is where they actually are comfortable. I'm saying that achieving "greatness" for the sake of achieving things is stupid and worthless. If you're more happy living in a small house with a part-time job, rather than working your way up as high as possible, than that's what you should do.

If you're goal is to be "six thousand feet above man", then why are you on this website? The time you spent here won't help you reach the top. In fact, it will work against that goal. You also sound like a gigantic fedora lord. If you truly believe yourself the things you are telling us, then you wouldn't even reply to this post and you would leave this website in an instant.

nothing gets me more pumped than an episode of dragon ball z
