Why do you lift?

Because I have something worth lifting for.

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 39K)

1. To be proud of myself and mire myself in the mirror.

2. To become the man I wish my father had been.

3. To get laid .

Because I have no other way to relieve the stresses and anger of my life

Nothing better to do

This

Because I have a very weak upper body and want to have decent strength as an adult male.

Because I've been aesthetic and then stopped being aesthetic and felt better while being aesthetic so I'm just gonna keep lifting and eating smart.

Princess carry waifu

girls. you're a pussy if you dont admit it. we all know it, we're all lifting for chicks. so why pretend you arent? fucking low test pussies.

To feel good about myself

Before lifting, I used to have a problem with straining the tendons in my lower back. Since starting, the problems have gone away, and day to day life is easier.

The game changing quality of life increase is almost 25% of the reason I lift, believe it or not.

To find a fit bf :c

L-London?

No, user. Germanistan :

;-;

I'll be ur buff bf

F

Holy shit nice job user.

Heroin's on its way to killing 2 of my 3 brothers. :(

thanks man.
but thats fucked. i bet it's a horrible feeling knowing you cant do anything to help. you cant make anyone get sober, they have to want it. i cant imagine how it felt for my parents and sister watching me slowly kill myself, knowing they're powerless. prayers for your brothers, i understand their struggle. i pray they get the desire to give sobriety a chance, and soon. if you can, suggest AA meetings. AA meetings are a lifesaver.

so hideous. i'm glad he's dead

This and being weak is for chumps

Pretty sure those are female (female)

Not him, but I'm also an alcoholic turned gymrat and definitely get the twice a day thing. Whatever works.

I lift for her. And she lifts for me.

I have a long term girlfriend but mire threads motivate me
I never got one mire or any real interest in high school and I'm working off that debt. I want some mires now.

I started doing it literally for the fuck of it, I just wanted to stop being so skelly. Now I lift because I want to see how far I can go while natty, it's an addiction. I guess I lift for my girlfriend too, now that I have one. Seeing how consistent I was about going to the gym inspired her to start on the cardio bunny path, something that I'm really appreciating now that her noob gains are coming in.

What stretches did you do for your back, mine's been hurting a while

Girls are only part of it, though. You get more respect from other men, you feel better, clothes fit better, etc.

leg day is a meme btw, don't bother

Lol I lift and binge on beer.

id take overtraining and DOMS over a hangover and withdrawal sickness any day. best of luck in your sobriety

I don't know anymore.

I started because I had a shit load of pent-up anger from dealing with a girl's bullshit and also my life was shit.

Now everything has evened out and I still go.

to overcompensate for my short comings

Also it's routine after doing it for years straight and I like it now.

You seem very bitter. Do you even lift?

>Why do you lift?

to not be a fat fuck and be confident in myself

Because I want to be strong enough to strangle a dog with one hand.

>lifting to lose weight
Not only are you fat, you're retarded. Cardio loses weight, lifting adds it.

you braindead faggot you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. get a gun and kill yourself.

t. 300 lb lardball huffing down cheeseburgers in between deadlifts

>lifting adds weight

What. Eating above your TDEE makes you fat, not weight-lifting

Because I can

>the state of Jow Forums in 2018

kill yourself before you graduate high school you're already a dumb sack of shit 13 year old.

Someone doesn't understand how calories work.

FOR HIM

So I can answer this retarded thread every single fucking day, over and over again

because I want to be strong and be capable.
also because I don't want to look plain like a fucking piece of bread, I want to be the fucking ham of the sandwich

>he wanted to be the ham on the sandwhich

it's corned beef or bust bitch.

fell for the drama school meme and figured I'd be a lot more castable when I'm finished if I'm aesthetic
considering it a business investment

started lifting to look good for sloots back in the day. few years ago my grandpa was losing his third fight with cancer and i was the only one in my family who could lift him from his bed/wheelchair/bathroom. it was terminal and towards the end he couldn’t do anything on his own

>tfw your only grandfather who held and cherished you as a child is now deteriorating before your eyes
>tfw holding back tears as you struggle to hold him upright as your grandmother changes his adult diaper
>tfw he still smiles at me cracking jokes to him despite the pain and the cancer eating away at his brain

the last day he was alive i told him it was okay to let go, that he fought the good fight and didn’t have to suffer anymore. passed about 2 hours later. no matter how much i lift to be strong and help those with my strength, i can never lift the pain away

Don't really know I just do. I don't go outside or talk to anyone but I guess if mind-muscle connection isn't a meme it makes me better at csgo I guess

What in the bloody hell did I just read? What was this jibber jabber? Are you drunk? Get off Jow Forums and get some rest.

This. If I don't workout on a day, my moods noticeably worse

to give myself an early death.

Been out of shape for most of my life, very out of shape. Had enough. Like 15 years of being fat. I'm done with that.

Also feels nice getting mires from people who wouldn't look my way or would talk shit about me before.

Is this your first day on Jow Forums? Seriously. Weight lifting burns calories, recovery burns calories, all of this builds muscle, maintaining muscle burns calories. Get a clue.

Everyone tells me to lift to combat depression

get the fuck out NIGGER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So that she'll stay...

I think I am going to grow out my hair. When is it going to become popular to grow out your hair? It's not like our culture is worthy of short hair anyways.

Good, never stop.

To gain STRENGTH and SIZE

OP, you lift to fight? Nah bitch, you gotta fight to fight.

All my friends and family are sedentary, and I've seen firsthand what that does to people. It's toxic not only to your body but also to your mind and your soul.

I'm an EXTREMELY extroverted person, and it's so hard to make friends at the gym because the people there are there for one thing, which is the development of their bodies, and they will not give you the time of day unless they think you will help them do that. That's not me. My workouts are bad unless I have a gym buddy, because I don't push myself nearly as hard or enjoy the experience nearly as much.

I really want friends who lift :( Nobody at my gym wants to be friends with me and all my high school friends moved away, leaving me with just online friends who do nothing but play games. So I've been gaming a LOT more lately.

>mire myself in the mirror.
This.

This is why I lift (and run)

It adds weight in muscle, not fat you dumb fuck.

I don't know anymore. I just can't stop. It's a part of my life now.
