What's the ultimate goal of lifting?

_MysticFox · 2017-08-11T02:35:45+00:00

Jesus Christ.

Seems like I need to repost this shit weekly...

Why lift???

Lifting gives you a body that is attractive to the vast majority of women out there. Would you rather be attractive or unattractive? Would you rather date/fuck an attractive woman or an unattractive one? Two twin girls - one is average, the other looks toned and fit. Otherwise identical. Who do you pick?

There's a reason every question about what women view as sexy on a man, the top answer is always rolling up the shirtsleeves to reveal big defined forearms.

I love the physical presence of usually being the biggest baddest motherfucker in the room. Instant alpha status without saying a word.

Being in a gym with other huge beasts gives you a sense of humility and brotherhood.

Strive to be a better man than you were yesterday. Then tomorrow strive to be better. "The only easy day was yesterday". Having a concrete goal and striving toward it gives you the power to believe in yourself. Seeing those lift numbers go up, the belly fat disappear, the increase in girls that literally have to touch your arms/shoulders/abs (swolestation) all allow you to view progress. Lifting is not just about getting jacked.

Lifting is a discipline. Getting up early, going to the gym when you really would rather lie in bed next to a naked sweaty girl takes discipline. Putting the donut down takes discipline.

If you're jacked, you can't help but show that you have complete control over at least one aspect of your life. This control and discipline bleeds into your personality. You actually become a more confident, self-assured person. That's the kind of guy women want.

Lifting using large muscle groups increases testosterone.

Losing fat increases testosterone which will directly improve your game.

There are virtually no fat fuck 70 year olds waddling around. Why? They're dead of heart disease/diabeetus/liver failure from abusing their bodies for 40 years. Keeping your body in great shape pays dividends in the future. There are multiple older guys at my gym that are still vital and loving life, not cruising down the aisle in Walmart on a sad scooter leaving a trail of Dorito crumbs. I want to be that horny vital 70 year old that still has a twinkle in his eye. Way better than dead.

Going to the gym is my pilgrimage. It's not home, it's not work. Nobody has any control on my time but me. The iron church.

If you're stressing about something, I guarantee you won't even be thinking about it during a non-fuckarounditis workout.

It increases your sexual stamina. Want to pound a girl until she can't take anymore? Good luck if you're an out-of-shape neckbeard.

Want to throw a girl over your shoulder and carry her upstairs to the bedroom, her squirming as you slap her ass? You need to be strong.

I have no issues with body image. I love the way I look. I MADE dis. I like pulling off my shirt at the beach with pride, not self-loathing and fear someone will point out my enormous moobs.

Angry? Use it as fuel. Burn it.

Can't sleep? Go exhaust yourself against the iron.

Lifting releases endorphins. I feel AMAZING after a good workout.

To see your enemies driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women.

ShrodingersDingaling · 2017-08-09T19:13:06+00:00

All of the above. But the main reason why depends on your goals...

Need a hobby to get out of the house? LIFT Need to up your SMV? LIFT Need to increase your libido? LIFT Got anger issues you need to resolve? LIFT

What are your goals? What do YOU want in life? Answering that will probably give you the reason why.

Or don't lift at all and stay a skinny bitch. Nobody gives a shit.

fuckmrp · 2017-08-10T02:54:40+00:00

I lift because I like to ~~lift~~ fuck.

discobolus_ · 2017-08-09T19:59:53+00:00

Fuck you, lift

justpickanyusername · 2017-08-10T02:18:31+00:00

Can you pick up your wife and have your way with her? If not, she's either too fat or you're not strong enough. Lift.

SeamusAwl · 2017-08-09T19:28:40+00:00

Goals are yours to make. The reason TRP and MRP advocate it is more psychological. Most guys come in depressed. Lifting helps to change that. It helps pull them out of it by reversing the downward spiral so that they can get back up. It also established self discipline and instills self confidence as no one else can work out for you. This why we say lift for yourself.

JDRoedell · 2017-08-10T01:29:48+00:00

In addition to everything already said, it brings men back to their more primal role. Men are meant to do physical activity, to fight to wage war and to build shit. In our modern, way-to-easy world we live in, lifting helps us recapture our intended masculinity

Persaeus · 2017-08-10T14:08:29+00:00

did you notice the guy that runs marathons when he came in the room? me neither.

seriously, what almost all of you young bucks do not understand is that after your early 20's you are on a escalator and it is going DOWN.

if you want to be strong enough to throw your wife around, or launch your kids into the air at the pool, or open a jar of pickles when you're 45 you must either lift or have a job that is very physically demanding.

I was an ultramarathoner and a legit climber for years. My wife treated me like shit. I start lifting for 6 months, put on 20 pounds, and it's like I'm an underwear model to her

BirdManBrrrr · 2017-08-09T19:31:16+00:00

Is it to gain as much muscle as possible? Is it to look attractive? Is it so your wife knows you're trying to improve yourself to instill dread? Is it for hormonal benefit?

Yes.

Large muscle group training helps generate testosterone in men.

chachaChad · 2017-08-09T20:34:23+00:00

My goal is to have women get wet when they see me. I've been lifting only 3 months and see progress.

screechhater · 2017-08-10T06:06:41+00:00

It's the cornerstone of your investment in you.

Sepean · 2017-08-10T06:20:15+00:00

Strength and looks are masculine cornerstones. Lifting is the activity that gets you the strongest the fastest, and it is the best activity for building muscle mass or cutting fat without losing muscle.

So go lift. If you're skinny and fit you're better off than fat but buffing up is much better.

[deleted] · 2017-08-10T14:33:45+00:00

do you look and feel like the strongest version of you that you can imagine?

nbodyknwsme · 2017-08-11T23:46:02+00:00

Confidence: With my wife, at work, walking around town. I'm post 40 now and I'm maybe the only dude at my company who is height weight proportionate, not bald or even really gray and not wearing waist 38 pants. It's a good feeling and I plan to keep it up.

So far as getting swole, this is TRP heresy but a lot of women don't like that look. "Fit" comes in a lot of different forms from big and bruising to a distance runner or rock climber body to a featherweight boxer. Just work on being the best possible version of you.

How about you get really fucking strong and find the answers for yourself. Or Google the benefits of weightlifting at the very least. Top 10 worst questions in MRP history.
