Self defense, confidence, aesthetics, health, makes me feel good by releasing endorphins and other fun things.

Why is he so angry about tranny suicide rates

When I was in university my gf used to live in a shitty part of town. An excon used to hang around her block harassing girls and I didn't want her to just be another victim, so I started working out to look tough around her. Years later, my gf left me, the excon's dead or back in jail and I'm still lifting. Funny how the time flies.

A healthy distaste for my physical condition (skinnyfat) and /fit/.
I don't actually follow the advice from here but I like the atmosphere and once all the shit is filtered out I find it's a rather encouraging place.
I don't mean to say that people are so nice and lovely here. More like where else will I encounter people who can look at themselves and eachother and say "wtf, fix this now"

I invented transgenderism with the goal of tricking Communists into getting themselves castrated, and preferably also into suicide after the buyer's remorse kicks in. No idea why anyone is against this at all, since in the end everyone is better off.

His mind works by regurgitating bits of informations he saw online, it's not meant to make sense.

You haven't seen your friend or someone close to you being groomed by online communities, deluding themselves into sexual fetishes, ultimately destroying their body and/or killing themselves. And hopefully you never do.

The tranny thoughts. My previous cope stopped working, so I switched to something else which was lifting. Turned out I actually liked working out, I've always been sporty, I just didn't know I was into lifting shit as well.

I first wanted to impress my crush. Then I needed to lose weight after covid. Then it became a means to escape my family. Now It’s something to focus on outside of work that provides me with goals

Me and a friend used to walk through a park on our way to the basketball court and one day we wanted to see who do more pullups.
0 reps each, tones of quarter reps, so we started practicing our pullups everyday, before going to the basketball court until we could finally do some proper reps.
I keep on lifting because it's fun and interesting.

Met a guy through work who was like year 10 as a natural lifter just looked amazing and I had just dieted off 100 pounds and realized I wasn’t as good looking as I’d hoped so I asked him to show me how to lift and I’ve been hooked since

first I wanted to attract girls, then I discovered it feels good to be in shape, now it's the only thing holding my mind in one piece

I walked into a suit tailor to get a suit for my sister’s wedding. The moment I entered the shop, the owner told me he didn’t have any 3XL suits for me and that I should try buying something online if I wanted to find anything that would fit. Well, he was right. That moment motivated me to lose 90 lbs in a year and a half, just in time for my sister’s wedding

I'm a tranny

You’re such a disingenuous loser. It’s hurtful to watch mentally ill people mutilate and kill themselves all while being encouraged and enabled by a certain demographic of people.

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

I was skinny and wanted to be bigger without getting fat

Being fat

I saw the quote from Socrates like 15 years ago:

“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.”

I realized he was right and I wanted to see the kind of beauty and strength that my body was capable of. I read /fit/ and saw Zyzz saying we were all going to make it. That's all it took.

More or less what you'd expect. Being a twig, and not being the best looking guy around means I needed to lift as a crutch.

One day my brother say "come gym with me". "Okay, sounds fun" said I. It was. Kept going.

Chinkflu boredom in 2020, plus the widely reported stories around that time how everyone was getting fat and out of shape. Encouraged me to start trying to be /fit/ since apparently I wasn't that far behind the world anymore
Now more or less I just do it because I want to see how strong I can get and because it gives me somewhere to go a few times a week

Wanted to do boxing back in highschool cause I read the manga "Holyland" but then COVID started and fucked it all up three months in. My brothers were doing the gym though so I eventually ended up dropping boxing for the gym, a large part of it was also /fit/, I'm not sure I would have gotten into lifting without this board. I definitely wouldn't have gotten on any serious routine, real glad you guys got me into starting strength.

He had a tranny girlfriend who killed xerself. He misses the feel of xer's balls bouncing on his groin.

Because I'm a white man. I'm the top of human evolution and my entire family tree is expecting great things from me.

I started lifting because it was not enough to be better looking, smarter, and wealthier than my fellow man.
