I like to superficially say it's to lose weight or to push my mental and physical limits, but the reality is that lifting is about the only way I feel alive any more. Fapping does nothing for me, I had to stop listening to loud music because with my career I'm going into, I'll be deaf by the time I'm 40 if I don't stop, books are fun to read but they just temporarily put off the crippling anxiety and depression.
But lifting and cardio gives me that endorphin rush when I'm out of breath and my chest hurts and my legs are shaking from deadlifting 350lbs after running 4 miles, but I keep pushing forward regardless. There's something surreal, no, magical about it.
No.126163

I'm more of a calisthenics / martial arts guy, but I workout because it is literally the only physical activity I do. Otherwise I would be sitting all day, and I don't feel well when I am that inactive; In fact, I usually cannot sleep if I stay all day doing nothing physical.
Also an athletic body is the perfect complement to my 10/10 facial aesthetics. I'm kind of a perfectionist.

I do it because it's the one thing I do consistently no matter what. If I skip a day, I find ways to make time for my workout right away. It's the foundation I use that keeps the rest of my life in order.
It's the first thing I started doing to discipline myself. So when anything else falls into chaos, lifting and working out will still be there.
It's been 2.5 years and besides that time I got an injury, I have never stopped lifting. I will never let anything get in the way of my gym time. No matter if it's for my job or personal life matters. I imagine that if a girl tries to take me away from the gym, then I'll break up with her. Lifting also helps me time manage. I plan my days ahead now. As long as there's nothing urgent or important, I lift on my scheduled days.

To make myself better. As atonement for destroying my body in my teen years via bad diet. I had it all in genetics. I had broad shoulders and am barrel chested. Still, I was a lazy fatass and ballooned up to around 400, if not more by age 18. I dropped to around 275 at 19 (nearly died in the process from kidneys almost giving out on me). Then got up again to 350. Here I am, 24, started the year at 330. Currently 290. Goal is between 250-275 by new years. 225-200 by birthday in may next year.

I'm emotionally damaged and want women (gays are ok too) to desire me just so I can tell them to fuck off. I don't enjoy masturbation it's just to prevent emissions, I don't have any sex drive, I'm just bitter and I want others to be miserable. I'm not edgy, I just never got over my oneitus, now that chick has become undesirable through her life choices, but I'm still hung up over it. My life will probably end with a suicide before 45, 50 at the latest as that's when you decline hardest. Until then, I want to earn money, get fit, be desirable and make people feel as shitty as I do. If I see happy people I just feel envy, because I don't really have any passions and I feel I'm missing out and I don't understand any of it.

I went to my fucking gym here on campus only to find that you can't wear cargo pants, and we only have like 3 benches, 1 sometimes 2 of a single type of machine, and 200 treadmills and step climbers. All the girls are on one side of the gym doing cardio and the guys by the machines and weights are already juicing and buffed. I'm pretty fucking disappointed, and my anticipation to workout there again has decreased drastically.

Nah, I went back today and found there were more than 3 benches, but at least 2 or 3 of each kind, like 3 flat benches and 3 or 4 inclined so maybe 6 or 8 in total. And holy shit the fit girls? The actual /ft/ girls? The ones with natural muscle, tans, spandex two pieces, and sometimes tattoos yeah yeah dropped whatever? Holy fucking sssshiiiiIIIIIEEEET. And to know they're checking me out? Oh yeah nigga.
I found that between classes, the middle of day, there's hardly anyone there. Only a few people even playing basketball and girls running above you in track shorts on the second floor running track. It was pretty nice being able to run a few miles today and actually use the machines without feeling like other guys are about to fight me for them. Albeit most of the guys were crowded in bench and dumbbell section, eye-fucking their muscles.
I'm in the process of trying to shake off the feeling I'm being judged/critiqued by most people there, and that the girls get uncomfortably angry when my eyes even cross their direction, and I have no fucking idea when you're supposed to wipe down a machine after use - I feel like tit's only if you're really breaking a sweat, not just trying it out for a few reps. I'd also like to have a spotter/be a spotter if I'm going to even try the plated machines and shit - I've been taking every fucking precaution I can to avoid being approached by the 'gym-employees for improper use or something.

Yeah so when you notice yourself doing that, don't buy any alcohol for a while and stop for a bit. Don't keep a stocked liquor cabinet, or maybe keep one bottle of shitty booze you don't like and only drink when you have something better.
I'd recommend smoking a (tobacco) pipe at the end of the day, it beats cigarettes and with a good diet I'd say the cancer risk is minimal. Cheap hobby too (if you keep it that way). And it serves as a sort of meditation. Keeps you out of anything worse for you.

Because I was tired of being a scrawny manlet, so I figured I might as well be a brawny one. For example, in the high school I went to I had a teacher who owned a crossfit gym and did a meme diet like Paleo. The guy was the same height as the girl I was dating at the time, which is 5'. My GF was kind of close to this teacher, she and her mother helped tailor some clothes for him and made him a Halloween costume one time.
Anyway, this guy did pretty good with women on account of his dwarfmode confidence, I figure if I am stronger I'd be well set to not be an insecure manlet.
