fuck SQUATZ. i just had the best workout of my life running in the park while carrying a girlfriend piggyback. i carried her over my shoulders too. a few months ago i couldn't have lasted much, but today it's been more than an hour of continuous running (i can't run that long on a treadmill, but somehow i've managed) while carrying her.

i've felt so strong, my legs and chest burning but still doing my will instead of giving up just a few minutes into it. and the human contact.

things like that make up for the long hours on the gym, for all the soreness and DOMS, for the boring diet, for having to abstain after a couple beers when all your friends are getting wasted.

god, when i came home and had a glass of water i nearly puked but it WAS FUCKING WORTH IT.

so /fit/, what things make it worth it for you???

Looking in the mirror and seeing changes. I do it for myself, and only myself. Fuck anyone else.

OP here.

sadly this is a girlfriend as in 'friend who happens to be a girl'. platonic if you want.

and for>>116880. i started working out for myself, as i was tired of being a fat bastard and as a cure for insomnia. seeing your body change week by week in the mirror is great, but it wears off after a few months. my current goal is going to 15% bodyfat. which is great, but in the end it's just an arbitrary goal.

meanwhile... the fun of this evening has been more like an unexpected prize, and a sign of joys to come. a confirmation of that 'i want to look better' thing one thinks when looking in the mirror.

Reminds me of carrying our wrestling teammates on our backs up the bleacher steps in the football stadium. I was around 200 pounds at the time wrestling 215, the closest guy to my weight? Our 260 pound heavyweight. That was fucking killer.
