If your primary motivation to workout is attracting women, aesthetics, or total strength you have wasted your time and are part of a lower humanity. The only reason one should exercise is to strengthen your mind and balance your mind and body in an effort to become the most fulfilled version of yourself as possible. You were given a body, it is your responsibility to take care of it so at the least mild exercise is necessary. I’m sick of seeing and hearing all this bullshit regarding fitness.
Explain how total strength is at all relevant in modern society? We live in a time where very few occupations require physical strength and the ones that do are not sought after and will likely be replaced by machines by the end of next decade. The days of old where the bigger stronger man is superior is long gone. With our minds we have invented tools and machines that make us super human. Yet what do so many of us low intelligent humans do? We tell ourselves we need to stuff our faces with food to get stronger or to get a certain look. Yes great idea, lets put more stress on our bodies to digest more food than we need. Lets put more stress on the planet to make more food just so we can look a certain way.
Or how about the unfortunate souls that spend hours in the gym to look a certain way? If you are mentally healthy yet allow the media to tell you how you should look, it is your own fault. You have let a billion dollar marketing industry exploit your simple mind into believing aesthetics are important. Body dysmorphic disorder is a serious mental disorder which I know can be caused by being traumatized at younger ages, however many people cause this problem themselves by allowing others to put ideas into their own mind. Our time here is not long. Is it worth it to allow something that we know will erode soon to cause that much distress?
Reason
The biggest fools of all are the ones who workout to attract a partner. No relationship is worth it that has such an insubstantial foundation not to mention that it is not even close to the best attribute you could cultivate to thrive with women. Being confident and content with who you are as a person is arguably the most important trait you can have when finding a partner and in any walk of life for that matter. How about working on the problems you have that are much deeper than how you look? That are much more difficult to correct and the solution isn’t as simple as do this exercise and eat this many calories. Become introspective, ask yourself what do I really want. Try developing your social game, become charismatic, learn to read social cues. All of these are applicable to many areas of life but no, you only want to use the easy method that a fucking monkey could do which will probably lead to a trouble filled relationship which a superficial foundation.
The only justifiable reason to exercise is to cultivate mental strength and to balance your body and mind. Prove me wrong you fucks.
Fuck you. I can lift for whatever reason I want.
And there is nothing you can do about it
Why would anyone give a shit lol
Let me guess. You don't work out at all and just shit post here
I lift for an imaginary invasion of aliens that can only die from barehanded combat because weapons are for pussies, yes I‘m also autistic
Yes, you can life for whatever reason you want. Is it a good reason though?
How is this a shit post?
blah blah blah
shut the fuck up or go to hell
I want good looking chicks with tight pussies who can deepthroat, and I want them in infinite amounts so I never have to go a day in my life without at least one of them taking care of me
if I get buff and go on tinder + go to a party college school then I will finally be at peace
Nice blog, I lift so everyone around me will know I'm better than them by just looking at me
You're right, generally speaking. Lifting is good for your health and is a great addition to a balanced lifestyle.
Admittedly, my biggest motivation to lift is aethstetics, but my dedication is hardened by the reality it improves my health.
based and redpilled
post body untermensch
fag
what does a smart guy like nietzsche have to do with your travesty of a post?
If you are asking ironically, thats pretty funny. If you aren't, I don't care what you think of my body therefore don't take shirtless pics. I'm 5'9 150 with little muscle definition. Working out is therapy for my mind especially during long days.
I believe that working out strictly for mental health and to maintain your mind body equilibrium would fit with Nietzsches idea of an overman. Any other reasons to do so is silly, in my opinion.
i lift to be better respected. perhaps feared, to a degree. for strangers to fear my power. I lift to be able to better protect my girlfriend when we're out.
He spends most of his time lavishing praise on some mythological chad and desperately wishing he was said chad and how he'd pull that perfect stacy if he was that chad.
No seriously.
Lmao good thing our world isn't run by the opinions of pussies then. I can tell your not even sure of what your saying by throwing up your shield of "in my opinion". You lack confidence in what your saying, and you know what helps greatly with confidence? That's right faggot, lifting
How will your "power" help you if somebody has a gun, mace, etc?
In my original post I made statements definitively. I said "in my opinion" because he asked me politely so I responded politely. And if you work out for confidence, that would be considered mental health and I would agree with that. But if you need big muscles to big confident, you are weak minded.
I mean if you had actually read nieztche you would understand mans commitment to whatever brings him pleasure is the bridge from nihilism to ubermensch in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. So in this case lifting if one decides to pursue that as a hobby, who are you to say it’s nonsense? It may be nonsensical to you but to many it is their life and it brings meaning to it. So get off your high horse and humble yourself faggot. Do what makes life meaningful to you
I once heard that we should look at envy as something good, something that our self desires and so we should strive to gain it as well.
I dont think lifting for aesthetics alone or even women is a bad thing. Whatever your reason if it gets you there who cares.
I lift because i love mirin at myself after shower. I look so damn good in the cheap bathroom lightning. Its all worth it and bitches love it. I mentally feel better fucking a girl while i look like an aesthetic god. Sex isnt even about women anymore but myself
Get to my level faggots lol
Hate posts like yours that are pseudo-philosophical. literally just strawmanning ideas to prove your point. How about you focus on yourself and stop worrying what others are doing
Based. A true thad amongst brads. I lift for the same reason, but tomorrow i'll do an exception, and i shall lift for you
>posts a picture of neitzsche while trying to tell other people an objective reasoning of doing anything
You haven’t read what you’re trying to use as your reasoning, you self absorbed faggot
tl;dr
I lift for Hitler and Zyzz
You need therapy? Oh dear sounds like
You are mentally weak as well as physically.
>mans commitment to whatever brings him pleasure is the bridge from nihilism to ubermensch
This is wrong and in fact quite the opposite of how Zarathustra's prologue should be understood
>decides to pursue that as a hobby, who are you to say it's nonsense?
I never said the hobby itself is nonsense. What I am saying is the reason and motivation to do so is nonsense. You are seeking to get validation from something that is outside of yourself. If you enjoy the admiration from others, that is fine. What I disagree with is when your PRIMARY motivation for doing something is to be praised by others.
I need big muscles to be big confident. It works, so what does it matter
You're right but you may be misinterpreting what the foundation of this board is. Your reference point is a reasonably well established man who is trying to ascend to a higher level. The reference point on Jow Forums is fat, socially awkward autists who like to shitpost.
I'm not saying people in the first category don't come here, but I'm saying that if they are in that category they have long left. Jow Forums's purpose all along was to get unfit and unhealthy people into exercise and taking care of themselves, you can't expect more than that from this board and if I may say so myself it has succeeded very well in the last 8 years or so. Jow Forums lifts you out of the hole and then it's up to you to do your research on other aspects of your life. There is no one size fits all.
Having said that, in theory you're correct. Weightlifting and cardio are a long term investment for your health and happiness, that's it.
i lift because im a creator that creates itself. fuck off brainlet.
>you would understand mans commitment to whatever brings him pleasure is the bridge from nihilism to ubermensch in Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
This is completely wrong. Commitment to whatever brings him pleasure is what leads you to ubermensch? Holy fuck think about all problems the the west has from obesity to porn and other addictions. It is about making sacrifices in the present in the hopes of leading to a better mankind.
Yeah, listening to neitzche about women is pretty much around the same as going to R9k. Neat thoughts on god and religion, and I can appreciate his early anti-nihilistic efforts
>tries to make a nietzschean post
>dismisses aesthetics in the first sentence
