How do you stay motivated to go to the gym when you know that it won’t “save” you?

I get gains from weightlifting, but there’s always this sense of utter pointlessness to it. In the middle of workouts, when I start to get tired, I often feel like stopping because I just can’t see how this will improve my life to a substantial degree.

How do you keep on putting your best effort into your weight training when you know that it won’t get you girls, friends, money, etc?



It makes me feel good mentally

Only consistent strength gains make me feel good mentally. Increasing my squat weight by a few kilos each weak makes me feel good mentally, but newbie gains will soon cease. When I hit hard plateaus in my progress, which certainly will happen, the mental feel-good fuel that keeps me going will stop. How do you train hard without seeing fast, consistent, and ego-boosting progress?

Lifting heavy weights spikes a bunch of feel good neurotransmitters for me

The fact that you won’t be repulsed by your own body when you look in the mirror.

I work from home so it’s literally the only place I can go look at young women IRL other than escortcelling and that’s obviously different

You’re probably low T if you dread exercising.

Every man with an adequate amount of testosterone should enjoy working out.

Any form of it, swimming, sports, weight lifting etc.

It should be feel enjoyable to push/move your body.

I don't think only about how my body gonna look when i work out

I think about how it's gonna make my youth longer, better hormones(better mode), lower stress, stronger discipline (help me to work other stuff)

I've never seen young stacies or chads(facially) in my gym but def it's plenty of tall, young and gl people during the late afternoon. When i'll start gym again i'll probably go very late, around 9pm to avoid every fucking contacts with em.

Gymmaxxing is very useful for getting respect amongst men. Easier to mog others leads to a better life overall. Easier mate guarding, harder to get bullied, more respect which in turn leads to better treatment (unless you roided and became a meathead). Benefits with women are not necessarily direct (maybe they are lol) but still very useful nonetheless. Hell it will even make your face better.

You sound like low T, high T makes you want to produce great effort in the gym, this kind of questions wouldnt even come to your mind.

Before 20th century, if people saw anyone repeatedly lifting pieces of metal for no reason they'd think that person is mentally ill. The sign of success was not having to do manual labor and have other people do it for you.

The joke is that you can't artificially make your face attractive, but can gym make anyone attractive? Certainly not with OPs face.
Only consistent strength gains make me feel good mentally.

Does not change the fact that humans are biologically attracted to more fit bodies.

The end justifies the means.

2 points. 1. Which turd is better? 2.Working out and getting a nice physique will make you more attractive no matter what. The thing is it honestly depends on a bunch of factors to how much more it will make you attractive. Sometimes little, sometimes a lot. If you were truely dedicated to looksmaxxing no matter what you would workout regardless of how much of an effect it will have on you.

A couple of motivating goals I used to have:

1) Looks obviously, leanmaxing, big neck, wide shoulders, wear XLs
2) Choke a woman with one hand easily
3) Win armwrestling fights against the majority of men
4) Lift the back of a small car and carry it into a parking spot
