I read your post as I like lifting but I'm fat and like eating shit is that cool bros?

It's not wrong but what's the point? I'm in the Army and I don't even workout for performance anymore, I'm so mentally checked out of it looking like a midnight snack is all I care about anymore.

When your performance/strength doesn't serve any purpose, doesn't have any actual life challenges to face and overcome, it starts to feel empty. That's why I joined the military.

For what?

Aesthetics can make you look attractive but if you wanna power lift go do it. This post seems either stupid or emotionally upset.

Here is the thing. Do it for you. Fuck what everyone else says. If you want to look like a powerlifter, go for it. Important thing, is just be somewhat healthy.

Is it okay to deadlift 585 pounds, squat 455 pounds and bench 315 pounds? Nah that’s definitely not okay, don’t you dare do that. Shame on you for even desiring such things

Even better. Mental point of origin
