the ancient greek guy who said "what a shame would it be for a man to die without experiencing the glory of the male body" or something like this

at 140kg no muscle mass and almost all fat, I just felt I could do better than I am right now. now 100kg, still fat but a helluva lot stronger, mobile and physically enduring

My friend could give out a 1 month trial to people so I went and never stopped after that.

>>76236241 (OP)

Wonder how many guys she's fucked

>>76236334
Congrats bro. 40kg down is impressive on its own. Getting back the control of your life that you gave away is an even bigger win. Keep going

>>76236241 (OP)
Because I was only 18 and already experiencing the kind of health complications that fucking 50 year olds get. Got fit and never looked back, I'm 25 now and lean, benching 2pl8 and in perfect health

It's funny how I "traded places" with a lot of people though. They were fit as teens and I was a fatty, and now I'm the fit one while they're obese and constantly in and out of hospitals. I learned that with exercise, you have control over how well you age

>>76236371
why

>>76236418
It's called being an incel, sweaty

For this

>>76236241 (OP)
Because I was still an avoidant virgin. I'm still an avoidant virgin and even less social than before but now I'm 15% bf, jacked, visible abs and I don't even want to have sex anymore. Feels great.

One day I realized I'm an adult 27 year old male who weighs 135 lbs and has the body of a pre-puberty teenager and then I went on /fit/ and saw the Rippletits quote saying something like "no adult male should be below 200 lbs" or whatever and while obviously you shouldn't be fat either, there's some merit to the quote because you have no business looking like a child when you're an adult.

Because I thought it would make me more attractive, and it did, but now I'm stuck wasting my early 20s working as a tradie. The only girls I talk to nowadays are cashiers at the store. I'm probably going to die a virgin.

I started because I wanted to be a prettyboy with muscles, then I realized I failed to achieve that due to having a dimorphic but ugly face so now I roid and powerlift to compensate for my face, hairline and to forget my original mission at the gym. I just beat my PR, heck yeah!

I'm 34 and have never kissed a girl. Thinking about just giving up my self respect and get a hooker to finally lose my virginity

I've always been naturally big and strong, but a lazy slob.
One day I realized if I put in the effort I could become a monster of a man, untouchable and the strongest in any room I would ever be present in.

I was diagnosed with a health condition that I thought would lead to me dying young which hit me hard mentally so I never bothered, just enjoyed being a fat slob. Since then, research has shown it can be managed and my health has actually gotten much better. Not only did I find out I'm not gonna die young but things in my life have changed so that I actually want to be alive as long as I can. Up until this point I thought exercise was just something tedious we did because it's good for us. After I started lifting, I realised I love the way it feels both mentally and physically. I'm in my 30s now but my mind and body are in the best shape I've been since my early teenage years, I wish I started sooner. I love this shit

>>76236241 (OP)
Social pressure. 80% of the guys in my class were lifters and they basically dragged me to the gym.

>>76236241 (OP)

Initially, it was for the girls. I was a string bean until sophomore year of high school. Then as time went on, I realized that lifting was for more than muscles... it was a duty to the world around me filled with fatties and layabout do-nothings whose existence is a burden. By staying fit, I inspire others to be less lazy and stupid and to go out and do something, anything useful. Also I was an EMT at one point and realized that not every person deserves to live

>>76246455
Does it matter though? If she wanted more sex she could have told me, not go and fuck someone else

>>76239654
I wouldn't bother desu. I'm not that old, but I have gone down that road and it sucked. Like pumping away at a woman who just lies there scrolling her phone, doesn't know your name or even care; just made me acutely away of how mechanical and superficial it was. Sex without some kind of romantic or emotional component is one of the most depressing things I've ever experienced. Of course you might get lucky with a hooker who is enthusiastic or fakes mutual attraction and that might be nice, but I doubt it would feel much different because you know once the hours up its all over.

>>76248051
In my (admittedly limited) experience with women they don't often initiate intimacy, they want you to take control, they do nothing but take and rarely give.
inb4
>she isn't attracted to you
she is, every time I initiate she responds very well but it is annoying being the one who always has to start the fire

>>76248085
How an I suppose to get laid if I'm not a man of action? Are there really no women out there who like to be in control?

>>76246455
>Women need constant validation
I learned this the hard way, i was dating an Orthodox girl a month ago and i ghosted her for 3 days because I got mad and she broke up with me

>>76248102
>ghosted her for 3 days
That has nothing to do with constant validation you idiot. You don't ghost someone close to you for 3 whole days without saying anything and except them to just not care

>>76248093
DYEL? I had 0 confidence prior to lifing and now I'm confident as fuck. If lifing isn't making you more confident then something isn't right.
Learn to be a man of action, women want a man who's in control, if you're wanting a dommy mommy then that's going to be quite a niche and you're better off hooking up via a fetish dating site or something.
It's annoying but just adapt and learn to be a more assertive man, you wouldn't belive how many women fantasize about being put in their place and being told what to do.
>>76248102
>ghosted her for 3 days
You're fucking retarded, ghosting a women is just a sign of weakness, if you have issues with her then communicate them with her, she'll either (most likely) appreciate your confidence and forwardness or (less likely) dump you. Either way it's much better than ghosting her.

>>76248134
It's not that I'm not confident, I just don't care

>>76248109
>You don't ghost someone close to you for 3 whole days
I wanted to break up with her, she did me dirty

>>76248134
>ghosting a women is just a sign of weakness
I know but i wanted to get out, I was also working 12h shifts during that that timeframe, she might have gotten the ick but i don't care, I did everything for her and it the end i got nothing, fuck this shit. I'm not blaming her btw it's just how things were

the kitten is a tranny, the panther is a tomboy, the Lion is a metaphor for Aryan Males.

Because I don't want to be super frail when I get old, and also because I don't respect unfit people, so I have to do it for my own self-respect

Was always husky, then fatty after highschool. Saif fuck this shit at 26 and changed eating/cardio habits slowly. Then started lifting around 27. Still going strong at 35 6'2 with weight going between 180-210ish depending on my current fitness goals (starting weight of 280 when fatty fat fat)

Ps gtfo off my board trannys

>>76236241 (OP)
I was never bullied, and I demanded respect when I felt I wasn't getting it, but I was teased by many people for being so skinny, and even my friends at the time thought less of me or said things like “I couldn't rely on you to have my back if I got into a fight”. With women, I also had the impression that they didn't show me any respect, they were disgusted by me and didn't want me anywhere near them. Once I got jacked everything changed. I didn't go through a transformation like "ugly nerd to handsome Chad", I wasn't even ugly to begin with, I look and dress the same, except I'm a lot bigger now. Everyone shows me respect, everyone is friendly to me, my current friends talk highly of me, random dudes compliment me, fags hit on me, random women say hi to me, when I introduce myself everyone is happy or at least willing to talk to me. I can go up to anyone and almost never get a negative reaction, and even if women "reject" me, they do it very politely.

Lifting for my nieces and nephews. Both my brothers were in the military and had a rough time. After they got out, they developed the "NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" mentality and proceeded to be fat, bitter slobs. One is pushing over 300lbs and the other is far beyond that. Neither own a scale because "weight isn't an indicator of health".

Was at a family get together and one of the kids dared asked why her dad (one of the siblings) doesn't look the way he did back then and proceeded to lose his shit in front of everyone. Saying it had to do with medication.

Lifting my ass off hoping to give them a familial role model to show them what hard work can do, because I know the fat fucks they live with will definitely sabotage them to make themselves feel better about themselves.

Don't want the kids to grow up thi

Started getting into /pol at around 2016.discovered /fit at around 2018. Been lifting for 7 years now. Got a wife, shes a doctor, kept going with the family business, business is doing good (I'm 28). Rarely on 4chin, sometimes i browse /pol when theres happenings, sometimes I visit /fit. But yeah training routines dropped from 5 per week to 3 per week. Definitely lost muscle.
