What is your primary driver to go to the gym daily, or for life in general? Be brutally honest

Vanity. I can't stand the concept of me not being a sick cunt

I live to mogg everyone

yeah I'm doing BJJ as well. I just figure having a huge muscular and size advantage over another dude will probably be useful too. I'm 6'2 so i hope if I get big enough I can just intimidate people into not wanting to fight me lmfao

Mainly for that post workout high.

Fear. Guilt. I'm mostly treading water, but I feel worse if I don't work out.

I live in a basketball american town with no car at the moment so its either lift and get big for intimidation factor or be small, weak and an easy target.

I just look at it from a pragmatic stand point of being better off doing it than if I wasn’t

with size and frame, yes you will
but remember not to look like a pussy
you gotta show it in your eyes that you don't prefer fight but could fuck someone up if it comes down to it
remember, HUNTER EYES

you live on the edge

To look in the mirror and like what I see

I started for vanity probably idk but now I've made spiritual gains I see lifting as a simulation of the hardship the european man is supposed to endure. I'm way happier now and suffer no social anxiety anymore despite only being a tenth of where I want to be.

damn bro i'm getting there too

At first it was for the attention. Now it's for the attention and fun.

>28 and balding.
Got a lot of pussy until now and i really understand the game: its all a point system, loose a point for hair gain it back for a nice body.
Im not gonna give up on the easy life

I just want to try everything before I die. I don't want to say 'I wish I did x, y & z' when I'm on my death bed. I pursue happiness and health.

For the feeling of accomplishment I have every time I progress. To actualize my potential. Because I know that I do not exist or experience outside this body, and treat it as the part of me it is. Because men were not made to fear sweat. For the external benefits that the physical manifestation of self respect earn you.

just to keep myself afloat mentally

To not only be 6'4'' but also be 6'4'' and swole

My primary driver to the gym is a guy named Eduardo, been of service to my family for 15 years now.

What else am I supposed to do everyday?

Based. Nothing more satisfying like it.

I don‘t know tbhfam

I got bullied as a kid (they told me when I got older they did it shits and kicks) and it gave me a super strong desire to be stronger, meaner and more violent than any guy I meet. Sucks ass

for me its a mix of things

the driver is the progress ive made, regardless of how slow its been, im considerably stronger than when i started a year ago, and i plan to keep getting stronger.

a sub drive is to not be weaker than cunts basically, i mean really why choose to be weaker than someone you hate, not that i hate many people, its just if i ever come across one in life

So that my ancestors can look down on me. And feel proud.

feel power

I don't need a driving force to do work, i just do it

Proper upbringing and father influence i guess

In order of importance:
>fixed mental issues
>gives an anchor to your life
>I like sex

I don't want to disappoint myself.

I lift so I don't look like a pussy modern "human" compared to the early homo sapiens. I'm sick of them making fun of how small I am.

Yies

I have the biggest balls after a workout.
I get the feeling when I quit smoking pot for more than 2 days. I can go up to any girl and talk to them

Idk
It makes me feel like a man, knowing that I’m always improving and getting one step closer to where I want to be.
Also making my dad proud because he means a lot to me.

Absolutely based

I feel that second reason. I want my future wife to be uncontrollably attracted to me. I want to earn her loyalty. I want her to please and serve me because I deserve it. I will love her with every ounce of my being. Love is conditional and I want a partner who understands this and works to make herself more loveable. I will do the same and our love will grow so strong it will only be outmatched by the love for our children.
Currently I am working out, learning guitar, improving my cooking and expanding recipe knowledge, and studying my undergrad. I need to get some work experience to start my career so I can be a good provider. I also should smoke less weed (I smoke twice per week)

I've been fat and weak all my life, just felt that I should change that.

i feel strong, confident, and build a relationship with tension and my body that makes me less anxious, more in touch with my body and emotions, and shows me that i can push through anything
it helps me get even closer to feeling invincible

I’m mentally ill and I lift so I can look like a Greek statue and admire myself. Also I want to stream but don’t want to look like a loser

I got tired of being ashamed of having skinny arms to the point that I never used any clothes that didn't fully cover my arms.

When I started and persisted to the point where I could actually see gains, it felt like the first time I'd taken control of anything my life. I haven't gone far beyond moving on from my deadend job but I'm finally doing something with purpose and I know that taking control of my health and body affected that. I can't and won't stop now for fear of falling back into my worse self. We are going to make it lads.

I lasted three years in a government office. Gained thirty pounds, a case of depression, and a heavy drinking habit. I promised myself I would never work an office job again. I'm now a weekend warrior in a chickenshit reserve unit and a school janitor mopping up vomit, shit, piss, and blood, and I am still happier than I was working in a god damn office.

I can't handle myself in social situations, I alway act shy, weak, and emasculated. I know it's a problem, but I can't turn it off, it just kind of happens. It's an automatic mode that my mind goes into. I'm humiliated by it. I go to the gym and work on my personal life really just as a way to cope.

I'm just pissed off that I'm the way that I am. Lifting and joining the military has done nothing for me but given me a bigger presence and given me veteran's preference for jobs. I can't fix things that are wrong with me like my social anxiety or OCD, after I go to the gym I come home and sit down, trying to relax and forget my responsibilities. I can't even say I have more confidence. Anyone else the same way?

lately because of God unironically

I want to see how far can I go

I'm the exact same as you man. I was always pathetic little shit when I was young. Now I strive to be the exact opposite of that and trying to become someone that everyone will admire.

Been fat my whole life. Just want to see what it's like to be aesthetic.

I used to be heavy into drugs, going to the gym and running everyday helps me feel good without abusing and keeping my life in order

good shit

Holy fuck that statue is sick.
That shit makes me want to get strong as fuck

Because it beats staying home. Just like failing nofap is better than not trying at all, and getting up in the morning beats sleeping all day and feeling terrible for it.
There is light. It may not be much light, but it beats the darkness.

Pathetically low self-confidence.

Because lifting makes you more right wing and I'm already a fascist so let's see where I end up.

I was born with a functional body and decent genetics, why not actualize its potential? Also, when I join my ancestors I want them to be proud of the manner in which I treated their gift (my body and progeny).

To be better than other people. I don’t want to lord it over them. I just want to know that I am more disciplined, stronger physically, and more attractive to potential mates.

God be with you, brother.

Have a crush on this guy and pretty sure he's not gay but on the slim chance he's bi I want to look good for him and for him to be impressed. If not him then a different guy who hopefully comes along one day. I'm so lonely. I fall for any guy who's cute and takes a friendly interest in me.

World domination.

I could come up with a bunch of cool reasons like to prove everyone wrong or become a greek god, but i think actions speak louder than words. I used to be in the gym 7 days a week, but when i met a girl who couldn't care less about how buff i was, just about how i made her laugh and feel, i stopped going as much and only go maybe 1 or 2 days. I guess i just needed something to fill the void.

To be god among men basically. have green eyes and am 6'3 already and have no STD's not even herpes, so already in the upper percentile of humans. Being fit would push me into upper 5 percent. I will transcend humans

turn into the 10th planet equivalent of Nick Rodriguez

When u don’t have any real friends u learn to make friends with the machines and weights,
personally I name them, like there’s a raised sit up station thing and I named it ‘Adam’ because abs and Adam sound similar,
so whenever I’m about to do some crunches on it I say ‘hello Adam how are you today,’
and by the noise it makes with the Slidey foot anchors that I adjust I determine if Adam has had a good or bad day
and basically if I stop going to the gym all my gym friends I talk to will wonder about me,
if I got hurt and stuff,
because they don’t have legs I have to go to them ever gym day and say hello.
So this is why I go to gym and get fit is more of a bi product at this point

This, unfortunately.

Self-loathing. Last year I let myself go, I wasn't the fittest person to ever grace the world, but I wasn't... I wasn't ordinary. I had pride about my body, the man on the mirror looked at me with pride. Now he finds me wanting, and I hate it. I hate that I have abandoned something that made me happy, I hate that I let myself go, and most of all, I hate myself for that. And this feeling isn't something I can fucking accept, so yeah lads, here we go again.

To leg/butt mog women
There’s no better feeling than when straight guys spend more time mirin you than the gym thots

To be a peak health before my inevitable and to survive in society.

My dad died of a stroke and my mom has Arrhythmia. She has a pacemaker-defibrillator in her heart and can't go 10 minutes without being winded

I commute on bike and probably will for the rest of my days. I have been jumped once in my life and refuse for that shit to happen again. Carry mace like a little bitch now.

I make it a matter of life or death

Do I want to die at 60 years old? Do I want to get cancer and die? No, well better go lift today and avoid all processed foods, if I eat shit food and get cancer the jews win

Hate. At first, I did it for her. And then I did it for me, so I could be better for her. And then she broke my heart in ways I didn't think was possible, so then I lifted to take the pain away, but it didn't. And then I got angry. Very angry. At me. At her. At him. At everything. I lift because I hate myself. I lift because I hate the world, and everyone else in it. I lift because I want them all to see what I can become, and what they threw away. And then, once I achieve my goal, I'll disappear from this world. No one will miss me, and I'll finally have done something right, and will have made the world a tiny bit better by no longer being here.

Because I'm an addict and I push my body to see what could damn near kill me but could also be enjoyable. I take RAD-140, Cardarine, and Modafinil to see how far I can push my physical and cognitive enhancement. It's a self-destructive habit. It's been worse than this.

I've tried being good, but my heroin relapse always puts me back at square one. There's been times where I wanted to see how high I could get. Been nights where I've used heroin, oxycodone, methadone, klonopin, methamphetamine, cocaine, alcohol or nights where I would shoot up meth, heroin and cocaine at the same time. Now, I really don't have nothing to lose because I've already lost everything last year. Might as well push my body's limit other ways without the heartbreak of losing everyone and everything I love. Never tried PEDs until recently. Working great so far and helps me workout 2-3 hours a day. Helps keep my mind off heroin and other hard drugs. I guess life just fucked me up so much, that I stopped giving a shit about doing the right thing for myself. Fuck, treating myself right. I've had two relationships with honestly good girls, that never did drugs and always pursued their education. My dark past has ruined and shit on everything and many other women that were interested in my until they found my dirty little secret. I know my body ain't shit compared to anyone else on this board, but this is all I have left. Myself.

I've scared my good friends away and I've broken my girls heart. I've been homeless, lost a good job, car, and all my money. Now I'm just a wage cuck. This is not a needle for steroids, this is an old speedball needle I had kept, even though I have been off of the shit for 2 1/2 months. Guess I dived into the PED realm because after being sober, it fucking sucked getting up in the morning for anything. Fucking sad all the time. Heh, guess I'll have to live the rest of my life being on something. I miss childhood honestly.

I play a lot o JRPGs so I want to be as fit and big as the characters I explore those worlds with.

I don't want them to be ashamed to be controlled and advised by a random fat, lazy fuck from the 3rd dimension.

post body

I was already naturally strong, relatively, before working out, but people didn't respect my strength because I've always been really skinny. When I first started my current job, we had a truck deliver some stuff which is always loaded onto a pallet which need to be physically pulled out of the truck with a jack, and these pallet can be really heavy. I offered to help and one of my coworkers just assumed I would be no help because of my size. I did just fine, but I was sick of being considered weak just by appearance.

I'm still not bulky by an means, but after I've started to work out my strength has become much more noticeable.

For me it's literally just mires, I want girls to look at me and friends to be jealous, also most of my life i've been sedentary and have been held back by my health but now that I lift and do cardio regularly I can do almost anything

To have fun no matter what baby
If you accept that it’s a wicked world then it’s much easier to be happy. I spent too long trying to find the good and bad and not understanding that they go hand in hand

Health aside, because it boosts my self esteem and people treat you better if you are fit. Plus, the feeling of being completely physically capable is god-tier

I want to become someone worthy of living all the autistic fantasies in my head lol. Basically I want to become what I admire. Also I want my sons to have a father they can look up to.
Perhaps most importantly I need the mental fortitude to survive whatever absolute bullshit the future holds. Right now it looks like we're all getting airborne Bat-AIDS. Gods know where this wild ride will take us. What is certain is that there are no breaks.

Been a bitch all my life. Hitting the gym with as much fervor as possible, eating insatiably and learning to be quiet and strong. AKA, I’ve decided to grow up, mentally and physically.

The fact that everybody treats me better since I started looking fit.
Also fear of being fat again.
Maybe a pinch of looking intimidating to normies since I work directly with customers and people are goddamned retarded.

> Because it’s not that hard. Being above average (or way above, geographically depending) takes almost no effort. An hour a day of your time. If you can’t be the best, be way above average; and that, is simple.

> It’s hygienic. When you’re lean, you don’t get as hot, you don’t sweat as much, you don’t leak alcohol from your pores and you don’t fart and burp from beer and grease and bullshit.

> It’s useful. Being lean and strong is functionally practical, and fat is literally some more shit to manage. Navigating the airport is a great example. Being fat is slow and difficult, taking off your shoes, fitting into planes, being hot and stuffy are chores. Being lean you can get down to a wifebeater, wear silkies, lift and bend and maneuver with ease.

>It future proofs myself as much as possible.

>I like to be attractive. Sex is better when you’re attracted to yourself, if that makes sense. Knowing the girl is into you makes sex hotter and more exciting; being in good shape also helps longevity, flexibility, circulation for dick gains, and more postions. My gf trains hard but is a lean and tiny latina, so feeling like a barbarian monster taking my prize from a sacked village is based.

> To be lethal. I unironically lift in hopes of the Boogaloo, and being fit is way better than head to toe Crye and your drilled out third hole.

I'm skinny that's what matters

I lift because I want to reach my full potential. I'm 6'0" with a good face, no acne, no illnesses, two parents, good grades, I've traveled the world, and my resume is stacked. However, I'm naturally a skinny ass dude with a giraffe neck and my social anxiety has kept me from making the friends I want. I started lifting 18 months ago and have put on 25 pounds since then. I've made great progress in the gym, and I don't see myself ever quitting because it's so rewarding to add weight on certain lifts or on the scale. As for the social anxiety, it's still a work in progress.

I pray for you guys every day. We're all gonna make it.

Based Aristocratic pride

initially it was to get in better shape and be more attractive but changed to the fact i simply like the feeling of straining muscles and being in pain

narcissism

I escape all life’s problems and substitute them with ones I can defeat in the form of weight increases.
Instead of an arbitrary world of luck I am rewarded for my hard work in measurable quantities. It’s like a real world rpg.

>reach my full potential
This is a good way to describe it. I just want to become as powerful as my physical form will allow, in all capacities I can improve.

First: Anger Management, i really enjoy going out of the gym, after i worked out like a maniac. I get calm.

Second: Reduce my stress from work. The day after my workout, i am physically useless but i am sharp in my mind.

And of course my 5 scoops shake.

>No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

bro this fucking quote changes every time i see it

My mom usually takes me to the gym. She wants to drop me off at the front door but I insist she let me get out around back.

Holly shit. Thanks user. I like the numbers too. I do calithetics in my apartment but it's not as fun as when I had the money for a gym. I'm going to find one of those cheap 24hr gyms now that I know why. I need those numbers.

do you think there's only one way to translate from ancient greek to english?

It's a petty reason but i'm moving to japan in a year, and I want to not be overweight when I go so I can try to pull some Jap girls

Was always naturally athletic and handsome, let myself slip and realised I had lost my powers, lost a tonne of weight and now putting muscle on, I’m back baby.

Loneliness

Extremely based.

Because my subconscious, for whatever reason, persists in my idea that i must be better than before. Be stronger than my past. It’s just the will to strive; To be stronger than sisyphus. And just like sisyphus, maybe the end game is futile, but we do it because in the present moment it is a necessity. Also i just want to be an inspiration to my future children.

I'm in the same boat. Good luck fren

onions

to lift the feels away

Started as the vain attempt to attract the love of my life who turned into a whore because she was molested as a child and now I lift because if I allow myself to be like the average western man I'll kill myself.

This. Absolutely this. Words cannot describe my distaste for modern “Onions culture”. My only goal is to either revive what men used to be, or die before i become one of them.

LOL

I was always really fucking skinny with thin as fuck bones. I felt cheated. So I picked up the weights. Once I realizedhow easy it was to gain muscle, I never stopped. Nowadays, it is mainly something I do to justify my eating habits.

Started so I can finally get laid
Turns out it's worth it to go just for the sake of lifting, still hoping to have sex at some point

>Onions culture

Explain what this means

Basedboys and what not.

S öy boy s and what not. Fucking gay Yas Forums corrections.

This is what happens when you use the blue pill as a suppository.

I don't want to be a wagie. I want to do MMA, get rich in it, and smash absurd amounts of prime puss into my 40s, then settle down and breed without wagecucking so I can give the next generation of Chads my full attention, homeschool, train from child, etc.

I want to stop being a lanklet. I'm not really the fittest person and I'm tall but I had thinga like 5kg dumbbell curls go to 10kg and a weak af bench go to 40-50kg.

But now I've lost that little gained strength and I'm pissed

Because I like lifting the heavy thing

For my wife Asuka

I honestly don't know. I don't care about aesthetics or strength, I started out looking good and strength is aaalmost pointless in real life. I don't even feel 'not bad' after working let alone good. I fucking hate life

If you have kids I hope you reconsider. We don't need any more kids growing up with single moms or parents who have contempt for each other.

I'll fuck your wife if you want

I use to be a completely druggie fuck up loser. Some of my friends died from this lifestyle, going to the gym was the only thing that saved me really so I carry on. Unironically use to get laid a lot more back then, such is life

I go because if I dont go then not only will I be a poor loser who is lazy and not very bright, but I'll be all those things plus dyel.

Enjoy dying for Israel, goy
