If you're life is fine and you don't want or need any improvement, then feel free to ignore that rule. Otherwise, just fucking try it and see what it does for you. Maybe you're the one guy it does nothing for. I'm willing to bet that after about a month, you'll see for yourself what the fuss is all about.

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?

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 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.

Angry? Use it as fuel. Burn it.

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

You sound like an overly analytical sperglord looking for excuses not to lift. For you its a waste of time so is TRP for that matter.

I read the sidebar, didn't find anything concrete.

Don't be such a pussy. I'm a long distance runner and I lift. It feels good running around looking like the hulk

well you got the wrong audience here, they will tell you to lift, no matter what, the truth is:

small guy st pierre: http://liverampup.com/uploads/images/Georges%20St-Pierre.jpg

will kick most likely everyones ass in here, while lifting might be more attractive, mma (kickboxing/muay thai) will for sure have a greater impact on your life. You don't need to be buff, you can easily attract girls if you look like the casual kickboxer: http://i65.tinypic.com/29zwwe8.png and furthermore you will know that even someone might be bigger than you, he wont fuck twice with you

edit: for the guys talking too much shit here about lifting, I dont see your point about "not fit" "jelly belly" or anything, he CLEARLY said: >Im a kickboxer so bulky muscles work against me.

bulky muscles WONT work against him, if he does not take it seriously and only goes to the training 1-2 times a week, if bulky muscles do actually work against him, it does mean that he is doing fights and sparring, for fights and sparring he has to participate in training at least 4-5 a week + satturday sparrings, else it wont be a negative point that he will be more bulky, besides of that he will get in a higher division and so on, please think before you activate your inner keyboard warrior

Please, by all means don't. Lifting has been linked to muscular cancer.
