I want the best chance possible of surviving any catastrophic event that looms on the horizon.

Also I want to feel better/healthier.

Die

>t.newfag running from his 10k reddit karma

My motivation is I wan't to make the things that were hard, easy.

for christ my family and to be a better man

So I can do everything in my life better.

I fall in and out of patterns where I am at a high level of fitness and then turn into a fat fuck. I had been trending toward fit, but had a kid and then fell off. Last January in Hawaii I was a fat fuck again and knew it was a time for change.

It improves many things:

Wife started grabbing my ass a lot, unusual. I've seen a spike in my production at work. Improved my golf swing. Far more energy, allowing me to put things in order. And I want to crush other things I've been putting off.

In the future I want to go on outdoor adventures with my daughter through the ancient routes south of my house in the Kii Peninsula of Japan. i want to cycle the distance of Japan and perhaps also China. And I want my daughter to have the strongest male role model, for obvious reasons.

Yesterday swam 3.5 km in the pool, then went on a bike ride. Today gonna do some weights at the gym. Next day an hour or so on the elliptical machine, followed by a shit ton o stretching and lots of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish. Going to continue looking for more inspiration and try not to forget what keeps me fired up.

>Harden the fuck up

Should have picked a picture where not everybody who was in it died completely in vain.

Original?

You lift for Jesus?

To give myself some desperately needed confidence.

But also for revenge.

For me it was because the sex was getting weird and awkward. (from fat) Getting tired too quickly. Also, I use to attract 9/10 and 8/10 women but when I gained weight only fat insecure 4/10 and 5/10 women would find me attractive. Chics I banged started getting noticeably less hot as I gained weight.

Started losing weight so my dick can appear bigger (my dick is 5.2 inches and looks like a micropenis with all that fat surrounding it)

Started walking and reducing calories

realize human beings are only meant to eat a certain number of calories per day

realize I feel real good and energetic after exercise

realize sleep getting better

realize the ability to go up stairs and run without dying to catch a breath

realize that us, as homo sapiens, are built to do physical exercise and ancient humans would walk at least 10 miles a day and would go on longer periods of time.

Started reading about the physical abilities of men in the modern army, men in the roman army, standards to enter, etc ...

Started realizing what the human body is capable of and how conditioned it can get.

Visit Italy and by coincidence I see statues of naked men and how good their bodies looked, started realizing how exercise is an important part of south European culture.

Felt ashamed as a human being for not living up to my ancestors. Realize that every adult male should engage in physical exercise and be as strong as they can.

Realize how shitty and calorie dense fast food and processed food is and how its harmful and not meant to be consumed by humans.

Realized how much of a fucking pussy and weakling I look like compared to other strong humans. feel ashamed of myself.

Realize I have good genetics, my face is good looking, I'm 6'1", so why wouldn't I fucking work for a good body before I die?

6 months I've lost 50 lbs (280 - 230) and build a good amount of muscle. Still going and will never stop. Changed my entire lifestyle.

My motivation is Serge Redding. What a beast of a man you have to be to clean and PRESS 500lbs.

Fuck my 600lb squat. It means nothing to me now that I have learned about this.

Your body is your temple. The temple is the seat of the soul. I'm trying to be the best version of myself possible.

There is a lot of sexual energy involved and I'm trying to focus that into self-improvement as well instead of lusting after bimbos. Day 2... again.

I want to up my jiu jitsu game and be in a more competitive weight class. Lost about fifteen pounds since I began in January, I've just now started doing conditioning on the side.

Just kidding I also started working out because I saw Kuroko no basket.

I cannot be mediocre. I must be that guy that women see and ask their husbands why they can't be more like me. I must be that guy that men will feel self-defensive when witnessing my physique that I'm probably a meathead with no other quality other than my muscles only for them to find out I'm pretty intelligent and make more money than them. I definitely can't be that guy who hopelessly watches my girl look at other men. I couldn't fucking live with myself if my ancestors could see me and see a "game enthusiast progressive bitchmade twink basedboy". I must be a man, nothing less.

I live on my own and I hate asking relatives to come over and help me move shit around because I used to be incapable of even barely moving furniture around without hurting my back in the process.

At least that was the starting motivation. I have continued to lift because I feel awesome every time I see improvement.

> Also because I seem to be slightly more attractive to guys

This but minus the twinkboy part. I'm a 6'3, 290Ibs fatass trying to lose this fat and muscle up. Inwas 320 about 4 months ago, proud of the progress I made but i'm nowheres near my goal. I gotta make it.

You got issues my friend. I just want to be healthy when will men understand being a meat head doesn’t get you vagina. Women are actually scared of muscular men. For instants YouTube slept king.
Little short fat asian.
Beautiful women
Around handsome men all the time
Her ex was even a athelet soccer player
She dumped for Bobby lee.
I see this all the time. Muscle do not impress women anymore it’s what kind of person you are.

To see what my body is capable of. To prevent health problems. To be able to act more confidently around girls. To be one of the big guys instead of one of the weak guys. To boost my self esteem.

Sure thing fatass

Confidence comes from within
Can you fight? I haven’t worked out in years I condition all the time though.
I can fight and feel confident my whole life. I’ve knocked
Out people I thought I could never beat

Also it drives me nuts when someone says "u r a grill, you don't need to exercise" and makes me wanna get fit all the more. I have genuinely never understood this logic but I've heard it so many times.

I’m 180 5’8 no where
Near a fat ass but try again insecure little boy that must be fit.

It’s become routine for me to go to the gym nearly every day. Even though I rarely talk to anyone there I like seeing the same people taking care of themselves every week. It makes me believe I’m doing the right thing for myself.

Ok fatass

Post pics of you

I lift so no one can ever call me weak again. Except here because Jow Forums will always say I'm weak no matter how much I can lift.

To keep people safe

I've just been doing it 6 times a week for a month and half. Gotta lose more fat and gain some muscle.

Pretty much what you said. To elaborate, it really just makes me feel good about myself. Many of my childhood heroes were guys like Stallone, Arnold, etc, and many of my favorite stories were about physical and mental self-improvement and discipline, or training to better oneself or accomplish some big goal (shit like Rocky, Karate Kid, etc). And as I got into my 20's I started to think, I don't want to be some typical old, saggy dadbod loser that let himself go and spends his life thinking up pathetic excuses for why that's good or acceptable. So it just clicked; I want to get in shape, be physically fit, and maybe, in that, be a bit more like what I look up to and am inspired by. Seeing results feels great, and the feeling of accomplishment is intoxicating, and its rewarding because, in that way, I can, for example, watch a movie like Rocky and, while I know I'll never reach the heights of Stallone in life, feel good about myself knowing that I'm a bit more like the people, characters and stories that I, and I think most people on some level, admire and are inspired by. In a lot of people's cases, that admiration turned to excuses because of their laziness, and then to jealousy and bitterness (see: fat acceptance and the general SJW mentality that centers on excuses and twisted pride in one's slovenly laziness, which is why these fuckers are all so damn miserable, because they actually ARE NOT happy with themselves on a deeper level). I like knowing I'm a bit better than that, and can look at myself and see the results of my dedication, and feel stronger, healthier and better about myself as a person.

I was sick of being a timid twig my whole life. I fucked around my early years and did drugs and fucked with my body. I wanted to instill some discipline and self worth in myself.

If you're not a black belt no one gives a shit about your tournament placings

I do it for rugby. I like to have the strength to murder any guy who stands infront of me. Also need lots of muscle for lineouts, rucks and scrums.

How big is your penis?

How muscular are you trying to get?

I would of loved to be involved in that, just fuck my shit right up.

Are you a girl or a girl(male)? Generally curious

He's not entirely wrong, "schlick" will forever be associated with cringey roasties that post nudes on nsfw subreddits

Because if I do not learn the riddle of steel Crom will laugh at me and cast me out of Valhalla

When I was a kid my granddad would hold his arm up to the side and I would do pullups while hanging on his bicep. I'll be an uncle soon and I want to be able to do that with my nieces and nephews

In all honesty
100 pushups
300 crunches
100 star pushups
100 heel raises
100 incline pushups
100 sit ups
And to finish off 100 more pushups

So I can wear shitty Fatal Fury cosplays without ending up in a cringe thread

So I can wear what I want and make it look good

So I can be friendly to the young 'uns without people thinking I'm a pedophile, because that shit only happens to the fat and the scrawny

Don't want to die a fatass at 50 like my grandad, don't wanna lose my sight or limbs to diabetes, and I want to carry on the family tradition of being a first responder in some way, now that I'm over my 'being a shut-in for minimum wage is cool' phase.

I don't want to be a complete wreck in my 40s like my dad was, and I saw the foundations for that already being laid by my inactive lifestyle. Also, the upcoming kebab removal.

H-How long did that last

im ngl to you user, it lasted way too long, from the time i was 18 till i was 23. I burnt out of college after my first semester and started hanging out with my shitty stoner high school friends and was convinced the best way to FIGHT THE SYSTEM was to write shitty songs for his alternative band.

I'm not going to defend how fucking retarded that was; anyone who pretends they didn't do retarded shit in their youth is lying or still young.

pretty much this.
i've missed a few 1-in-a-lifetime girls because i wasn't confident (i really wouldn't have been able to keep them anyway).

now, i want to be prepared in every way.

Thanks man. I read 10 sets with a minute in between until you drop, so that's what I'm going with.

I am. I'm pursuing a dual major in Law Enforcement and Paralegal Studies, and plan to apply to the local PD as soon as I'm physically fit enough to pass, and as soon as I have enough credits.

Not sure, I just randomly decided to go to a gym, went a couple of times with a friend, and stuck with it.
