For me, it's Samurai Champloo and its soundtrack, shit heals my soul, makes me feel like I can kill it before my lifts. I'm aware that I'm autistic as shit.
Current lifting/life motivation?

Oh, you know I'm sharp like an edge of a samurai sword
The mental blade cut through flesh and bone
Fuck I need to rewatch, love that show
If we're talking autistic inspiration, I still find the Metal Gear Revengence soundtrack to get me pumped.
>do lift
>struggle a bit
>imagine Raiden mashing X to throw Metal Gear Rex
I honestly dont understand how people can be motivated by shit like this. And im not just shitting on weebshit, which is pathetic in itself but besides the point
the point is, these characters have no struggles, its fiction, the writer decides exactly what happens. You wanna be motivated by something? How about people like Desmond Doss, or even YouTubers that go from skinny/obese/chronically ill messes into greek gods.
>liking real people
lel
Why does it have to be one or the other?
>durrr you're not supposed to absorb lessons or take inspiration from fictional characters because someone plotted it out
Two things:
>you're a homosexual for devaluing the millennia-long purpose of human storytelling
>you're implicitly denying God, the one who knows the stories of our lives
You're not only wrong, you're retarded and will be condemned to your rightful punishment in the pit.
>greek gods
durrrr the people who told those myths could just orate and decide exactly what happens derrrrr
it's called culture and it's effect on you is more important than you even realize, you brought up greek gods as if we all know what they are, we do, because they are immensely important STORIES that have been told for generations, and will continue to inspire long after some fucking youtuber is dead and gone.
I'm going back to lurking but your sheer ignorance prompted a response, read a book, you might learn something about yourself anon
Jesus some body call 911 I just witness a murder
>I just witnessed a coming out of the closet
Ftfy
lmao seething, he got ya good homosexual
>HiYaa
>How about people like Desmond Doss, or even YouTubers that go from skinny/obese/chronically ill messes into greek gods.
Because often it's pure luck.
>its fiction, the writer decides exactly what happens.
Unironically more autistic than OP. Fiction is impactful because it captures human nature and struggle in a distilled form.
fucking retarded
>desmond doss
based, I watched the movie, heard his feats were more impressive in real life
>just one more
sigh, guess it's time for my bi yearly re-watch
Unironically ''Epic Rap Battles Of History season 2''
Holy fuck are you a fruit
I can't even feel bad for him when he sounds like that screaming and just sitting there
>Black dude just complaining he gets blood on his bag
>Other black dude just recording saying someone should phone police instead of doing it themselves
Wakanda really is summin'
I know its gay as hell but its not like its the only thing I listen to at the gym, I cant explain it I just don't really think about what I'm doing while listening to it. Like I'm on auto pilot

Season 2's pretty good, pity none of my current friends like that stuff.
Keep on keeping on, Anon.
Judo.
Literally all I enjoy in life is Judo. I don't care about the Japanese history, or the belt ranks, or even competing. I wake up, go to work, go to the store to get dinner, go to my Dojo and lift and fight, go home, shower and eat. I have been at this for 7 years, I am still a fucking white belt. I only do 3 throws: Osoto gari, Tai otoshi, Koshi Guruma.
I have nothing else in my life, no family, no friends. I'm not even friends with the people at my Dojo, I'm pretty sure they don't like me because they dismiss me pretty regularly, but I don't care. They don't even know my real name, I've used probably 4 different names to the people I've met. I am completely alone in my life. I work a lame ass job, live like a bug in a mobile home in the country. I've probably spent more time at my dojo than at my own home.
The one upside for me besides doing Judo, is that after the first 4 years, the new head Sensei took over and I guess forgot about my monthly membership and hasn't even once billed me or hassled me about paying.
If my Dojo shuts down or something happens I'll probably go homeless, but I'm able to deadlift 495 and squat a 300 lbs, 6'2 fatty so it doesn't matter. 🙂
real
it in
>I only do 3 throws: Osoto gari, Tai otoshi, Koshi Guruma.
You should widen your horizons. Watch this and just pick a throw to practice: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtz539PTepc16H2iu5F3Q3D7_He1EYlIQ Personally I like the o-uchi-gari followed by a hiza guruma.
Hey, the 2000's called. They think you're pretty cool.
people thought the bible was pretty cringe when it first came out too lmao, not a fair comparison but still, judging something because of age is retarded and you probably are too
Uh, maybe your life would be better if you didn't assume every reply was an insult.
>people thought the bible was cringe
what
Jesus is pretty clearly a gary stu self-insert
I pretty much imagine myself fighting everyone in the gym. If I don't think I can win, I have to get stronger
I used to be fairly motivated for a few years but I've been very petered out for the last year. As soon as I'm ready to try an exercise or anything of the sort I'm tired and disinterested, I sometimes I sit around for an hour trying to get myself to go but I just cant. How do I get back on the horse?
This a great cover imo
I don't like anime as a genre but this is in my top 10 shows all time. Get rid of 2-3 filler episodes and it's perfect. The multi-episode stories are all unreal. Bebop might be in my top 10 also.
Thank you for sharing this.
>Current lifting/life motivation?
I'm not dead
Not sure if it's motivating but bench days are always fun because I pretend I'm Gimli pressing Vargs off of my chest.
LotR in general is pretty motivating I guess.
i'm not really motivated, i'm gonna die alone i think. i only continue living so i don't hurt my parents and to spite people who don't believe in me
Satan
Satan wants you to be weak and gay
cringe
I have 0 lifting motivation anymore. The only reason I still go is so i don't anheri.
Here you go. You've been witnessed
My autistic inspo is the ODSTs from Halo.
Firstly, I have extreme nostalgia for the game and its incredible soundtrack. But more importantly, the ODSTs aren’t like the Spartans (e.g. Master Chief). The Spartans are selected from childhood for their perfect genetics, totally juiced to the gills with future roids, and trained over their entire lives to be the perfect super soldier in a suit of state-of-the-art power armour.
The ODSTs on the other hand are just regular guys. No magic super soldier space roids. No billion dollar suit of power armour. They’re just special forces. The best of the best among ordinary people. They train their balls off just to be sent on near-impossible missions against an overwhelming enemy.
That’s kinda how I feel. My genetics are far from perfect. I could never be a great athlete or bodybuilder and Im not taking any PEDs. I certainly don’t have a team of scientists forging me into a super soldier. But I’m training in my basement to be the best ordinary guy that I can be. This is the most autistic thing I have ever posted on this website. I’m not sorry.
>don’t really like most music
>mostly listen to video game/anime ost/marching songs
I definitely belong here
I’ve been listing to Fallschirmjäger at the gym lately
damn the ODSTs sound dope, that was the only Halo game I didn't play lmao
I like when my heart beats fast and I'm gasping for air. Makes me feel alive.
It feels so rewarding. Humans were never meant to be sedentary.
who here /missing the inner heat/
my life could end right now and I'd be okay with it
That's me too
I LIFT FOR SKINNY BLONDE WOMEN AND IM TIRED OF PRETENDING I DONT
I lift for tall thicc blonde woman and I'm tired of pretending I don't
Dude this anime character just monologued his inner struggles before beating them im so fucking motivated right now
Some days, some nights
Some live, some die
In the name of the samurai
Some fight, some bleed
Sun up to sun down
The sons of a battlecry, battlecry
I miss Nujabes ;_;
I don't understand how people that play RPGs or MMOs don't also get incredibly jacked. Lifting weights, stretching, running is literally the same shit in RPGs, you grind by doing the above activities and your stats get higher. What's more, the return vs investment is way fucking higher than any MMO. I can't think of a single MMO or RPG where just doing 4-6 hours a week gets you even as close to as much returns as weightlifting. If someone told any MMO player that they could get +1 STR +1 DEX and +3 STA just from doing an hour long daily quest each day, every single player in that game would do that quest, yet those same people mock weightlifting and exercise. And that's before you even include the mindset and energy gains from lifting. I have no programming knowledge, but I often think about a game that would increase online parameters based on daily exercise and workouts, and then I realize that there's no point because you already get the feedback on your body, your mood, your mindset, your capabilities.
This. And that doesn’t even begin to cover how those stats carry over across different games. Been training? Cool, you’ll likely be better at any sport you choose to go into. I lift for fun and now have a great time rock climbing and doing other things. And the rock climbing gives gains back for lifting. It’s incredible how far it goes
My IRL character has level caps that don't limit me in virtual. In virtual, I can be whatever I want, my skill trees have no limits and I can be Lv. 99 all across the board if I so desire.
However, IRL, my IQ is middling and my strength is limited by my stature (5'8 manlet).
>I can be Lv. 99 all across the board
That's a cap right there, friend. And I can guarantee you're nowhere close to the "cap" you're setting for yourself in real life. Even when you think you reach a plateau, you're still getting gains from working out each day even if you can't see it.
I was referring to a limitation below maximum when I said "cap"
So like, my character can only be leveled to 40 in STR whereas some 6'9 Icelandic guy can be leveled to 99. My INT can only be leveled to around 40 also because of my IQ.
You'll never be the best at everything, even in RPGs there's someone better than you. Doesn't mean you shouldn't maximize your potential.
I take the soundtracks of unrelated games and movies and imagine scenes if I was a video game maker and construct my own characters and stories to them. It is something interesting to think about while doing monotonous tasks like lifting, brushing teeth, and house chores.
I just want to sort my shit out and cultivate something better than I am now.
That shit is so fucking good except baseball and mushroom episodes
I like the baseball episode, some comic relief before a dramatic ending, also, it inspired my favorite episode of the boondocks
mushroom episode is by far the worse one tho
Unironically my waifu
I wanna imagine making her proud
kino series, only anime i actually liked
early 2000s anime 2AM vibes were unmatched
