Why do you lift

Why do you lift

>her

Size is the price, swole is the goal.

So I can get 2 gf's.

At first it was just because it assisted with weight loss. Then I decided looking normal wasn't enough, I want to look better than normal.

i don't

Is she retarded ? Or is she putting this on for cuteness points?

Started because i was embarrassed of being a skelly

Now i just lift because i have a low opinion of myself

>because it's inherently cathartic
>because progress and self improvement are addictive
>because i like feeling big and strong
>because i like being able to eat a lot
>because both my dad and my older brother have p much the same height and frame genetics as me (6'1'', broad shouldered, strong jaw line) but, although not actually fat, have never bothered to really exercise and i don't wanna waste my family's genetic luck like they have
>because i want to be a better surfer
>because people pay more attention to me, take my opinion more seriously, laugh at my jokes more etc (srs)
>because i look good in nice clothes instead of looking like a tryhard Veeky Forumsggot
>so that people perceive my nerdy interests (manga, blues, Veeky Forums, chess, pokemon showdown, fantasy & scifi novels etc) as "cool" and "quirky" rather than just lame and nerdy (srs)
>because i wanna run a marathon one day
>because i want to give myself the best possible chances of getting a gf like pic related
and many more, like why the fuck would anyone NOT lift?

gay

Because I can't find my qt3.14 so I might as well spend my time preparing for the moment I do.

Banging random sloots in the meantime isn't bad either.

there isn't a single thing taylor's done that's been recorded since like 2009 that wasn't a cold, calculated marketing decision, this included

fucking savages

>so that people perceive my nerdy interests (manga, blues, Veeky Forums, chess, pokemon showdown, fantasy & scifi novels etc) as "cool" and "quirky" rather than just lame and nerdy (srs)

Same though. Being a fat woman into that (as well as cosplay and egl and other weeb crap), made me a target for ridicule by friends, family, and strangers. Now I'm just "cute and quirky". It annoys me to see how people treat my same hobbies now that I'm down 140lbs, but I don't want to go back to being fat regardless.

i agree it's bullshit that people's brains work like that but we live in a world where they do, so why not try to make everyone's perception of us as positive as possible? being Veeky Forums helps with that in basically every aspect of life

Yeah, being ripped is a good way to be interested mainly in video games, visual novels, weabshit, world of Warcraft and other degenerate shit without people thinking you're some greasy fat neckbeard.

Does she actually have autism?

Agree 9.8/12
Normies should not know you browse the chan
Idc about surfing and marathons but that's my subjective taste
You sound like a bro.

I've been trying to bring my skinnyfat ass to the gym for 2 weeks now. I ought to just kms

To be fair, when you are in shape it gives reason for people to believe you are not just a neet who spends all of their time with those "nerd" activities. When I see someone overweight or underweight only care about something like video games, I can't help but think they are lazy and not striving to improve.

it stops me from killing myself desu

For my husbando.

What he said, but I'm slowly losing that fight

>>because i look good in nice clothes instead of looking like a tryhard Veeky Forumsggot
This is me. It's funny how fat people in "hip" clothes look retarded but fit people look amazing in them. Anyone know why that is? Fat people should just stick to normal clothes.

I lift for my health. Everyone in my family is obese and at least 2 have diabetes or been hospitalized due to bad health. Grandpa died from cancer cause of a shit diet and uncle went to hospital recently for it too. This shit is what motivates me. I don't wanna be a bed ridden waste of space.

Yeah women are a part the reason and getting one would be cool but the real driving cause is to not be in the hospital or to go through all that shit just to do basic everyday shit. It saddens me so fucking much...

It's no secret, the fashion industry designs things for thin people. It's also just much more flattering in general to have form fitting clothes.

Take a regular black t-shirt: On a muscular guy it will hug his frame and conform to his body. It gives a hint at what's underneath. On a fat guy, at best it will be loose and just hang off him. At worst it will be too tight and show you every fold and roll of fat.

It's so hard. I keep reading Veeky Forums related topics and whatnot. But I can't convince myself to exercise consistently, I.usually.exercise once.and stop for a week. All I ever want to do is watch anime, browse the internet, play vidya. Its videogames and anime.that gave me this.underdeveloped body.I am the most unathletic person I know, the definition of a merd since I am smart yet sucks at every physical sport and everybody laughs at me when I played to the point of being traumatic about playing them. Because all I ever did as a kid was stay inside my home since I had no friends back then.

Sorrt for going all /r9k/ but for people with similar circumstances, how did you motivate yourselves?

For a girl. My girl.

I want to look like a video game / dbz character

and i hate myself to the point of constantly telling myself i will never be good enough and to kms in my head over and over as soon as i even start to fantasize about talking to a girl. Lifting kinda helps with this

for Oppai

Bump

For my one and only. One day, I may.

my dude

Once you treat gym like an mmorpg you become addicted. I joined gym ages ago with weong mindset and nevee went. Last year i rejoined gym with a mindset of (I am my own character, i will grind gym every day untill i level up)

Took me 6 months to become addicted to the gym because i began gaining strength and size. Once you find out the steps and possibility you are hooked.

I used to be gym noob, felt insecure and total noob about entering gym. Now i look forward to gym, i enter with pride, ready to lift heavy ass weights. Once you reach 1/2/3/4 you'll be addicted to gym forever.

groace

Because it's fun.

I want to be 60 years old and still be healthy and aesthetic as fuark. I want to walk down the street and get mired by college girls even though I'd (hopefully) be a granddad by then. Also to satisfy future qt azn wife.

I didn't want to be the weakest guy in my circle of friends anymore.
Then I just kept going.

>Why do you lift
I need to have a chest as glorious as my waifu's.

Good lads and laddettes.

So the glory and honour of my forebears can reincarnate into mordern times

Fat people are inherently worse and deserve the criticism they get

Because it makes me feel physically amazing, makes other people like me more, makes me more inherently valuble, and will help stave off sarcopenia in order to maximize the odds I will survive long enough to see genuine anti aging treatments emerge

>my line is full of soldiers at least 500years back
not gonna suicide for someones shekels but want to be prepared to defend my family
>i dont lift though, but keep improving my athleticism by other means

if you look like a slob, it looks like you spend every waking moment on those hobbies and is your lifestyle
if you're fit and athletic, it looks like a genuine hobby and is just something done for fun

no matter how dark the night is, dawn will always break

If you don't lift you are weak

Relieve stress

What a fucking stupid whore

...

>people actually like this literal retard

for pussy of course

improvement for the sake of fighting off my self hatred.

I've fallen in love with the idea that people 'mirin are actually people who, when they look at me, see someone who is superior to them.

i dont lift but i can 1/2/3/4 fite me faggots

For muh waifu

>titcows

I lift for relative ant strength

faker than those kpop whores

t. ex-koreaboo

Glorious, aren't they?

>girls

>females(male)

Started because my buddy wanted someone to come with him to a weight training class.

Now I lift because I genuinely enjoy it. The regular effort, the structure of planned workouts and regimens, the constant work for personal improvement - these are all things that appeal to me personally.

I enjoy the sense of superiority that comes with working out and studying hard, there can't be one without the other.

For my future gf, who I will meet when I finally have the confidence to go outside and socialise.

>gujira

Cool design, but her character has shit writing, just like everything in Gundam ZZ.

pic related, superior waifu.

doubt it
