For me it's the
-Baki universe
-Atmosphere and feeling you get at the gym when it's a good day
-Desire to be physically capable of anything I want to do
-Threads on /fit/ like this:
They're supposed to be funny, because most people who workout do it for a big upper body, and so they bulk and add fat that covers their abs, but I get motivated
>Ah, anon, can you show me your abs? I heard you workout hard.

>"Okay Anon, Lisa got naked for you just like we promised now will you PLEASE show us your abs?"
-Bas Rutten and other fighters who are cool
-Acquiring new skills


I made an AMA thread before about what works in fighting, and some asked me about my expertise on moves and such. I've only been doing MMA for 3 months, but I've watched enough videos and I've sparred with people who do Aikido, boxing, or were streetfighters from a somewhat poor country, to know the limitations of different martial arts, and that certain things work, and others don't. Me myself, I'm not an experienced fighter who has taken, or given a knockout punch, 'cause I've never fought a real match. So when Joceph, for example, asked me what to do against a takedown, I was limited in my advice because I haven't learned all that there is. What I did do correclt however is I told him that a boxer needs to stay away from grappling. If you want to attack someone who goes for your leg, then an uppercut is your only option as a boxer, but if you want to learn different things, like kicking and grappling, then you get more options.

Desty you're becoming really autistic again.
I know that nobody cares about the second part, but I needed to get it off my chest. I felt like a scam artist.

uh I don't think anybody cared

that much
I wouldn't know that, and even then, I probably wouldn't be 100% convinced; there'd still be the feeling.

You're obsessing.
Alright, but the second part isn't the focus of the thread nor the reason I made it. The reason I made this is because the threads-on-/fit/-one raised my desire to be aesthetic.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Working out is fun plus it's healthy for my body.  What's not to like.

Pretty much everything.

Mondays: MMA overall mostly standing

Tuesdays: Sansho which is kinda like kickboxing where we train against other lightweight hit-and-sweep-moves like taekwando or kickboxing, and Greco-Romano style grappling or w/e it's called (double sessions)

Wednesday: MMA overall mostly on the ground

Thursday: Sansho, and normal grappling like jiu jitsu but normal workout clothing and no clothe grabbing (double sessions)
Saturday: Stand-up striking where the focus is hitting (kicks and punches) and leg work, but also quick takedowns occasionally

I started with Saturdays near the end of the second month because I didn't know I had a bus card that worked on weekends as well as past 7pm on normal days

Google didn't yield any results, only the pic posted in different websites. I got the pic from here http://boards.4chan.org/fit/thread/36590277/ah-anon-can-you-show-me-your-abs-i-heard-you
I've seen it twice now in different threads with the same "topic"
