I know most guys want to bodybuild because they want to attract girls. I have no problem with that. Personally I got into it because I wanted to be bigger, and more menacing to all those who have hurt me a great deal. It's not so much wanting revenge on them, just knowing that I could have it if I so desired it. I am a great deal ahead in what I want to look like, but alas, I fear that it is too late, I will never confront those people again, and they would probably not recognize me anyway... ------------------     | ||

Yeah bro. I feel ya. I find it strange that many people get into bodybuilding for the health related reasons, but end up getting so caught up in it, resort to hurting themselves in order to acheive their goals (massive drug usage). It is truly addictive to get bigger and stronger. It is most certainly a power thing. Wasn't it Freud that said there are only two things that govern all of our decisions...sex and power. Or something like that. | ||

the rude realities of getting older. My joints were falling apart and all of the things that I used to do were all falling by the wayside. My racing cycle had been hanging in the garage for years because my knees could no longer handle the competition crank. I couldn't hike with a pack anymore. etc. Now, I do it for the challenge. I'm going for size and symmetry. Eyes turn when the ripped shoulders are on a woman. And the last asshole that decided to take a cheap shot at me in the hockey rink, ended up leaving the game with a 'booboo'. It kinda fits my "play for keeps" and "take no prisoners" attitude. ------------------ | ||

Sort of the same for me. I graduated from High School weighing 135lbs at 5'8"....I now weigh a lean 185lbs. It has all been natually, too. Of course it has been 17 years since then, but what makes it really cool is that people see me now and are like "Dude, you look great, I remember how skinny you used to be." It is the biggest rush to know that I now look better than most of the guys from back then, who now have beer guts, or are just plain out of shape, and most were the best built. Don't get me wrong...I didnt get picked on or anything...had lots of friends and girls, but was just so damn thin. I will NEVER give up working out. It is now a life long obsession. It is also more awesome to know that you are physically attractive to the opposite sex....not that it is the most important thing, but cool to know. Later, G. | ||

I was a fat little kid. Not like Cartman fat, but fat nonetheless. Kids used to call me shit like "Pudge" or better yet, "Butterball". So in high school, I started working out and tried out for wrestling. Since then I have never let my BF slide over the 10% mark. Never. It sucks to be fat, especially when you're like 13 and you're short on top of that, and all the girls are like, "Oh, My GAWD! That fat baby can talk!". Yep, it sucked ass, but whatever. Now, I look better than 95% of my peers. | ||

I do it because I love the feeling I have after a balls to the wall set of anything! I think I was meant to be big, I do not feel like myself otherwise. ------------------ | ||

People that are in shape tend to get the better looking, in shape women, But more importantly, theres nothing like the feeling of being the biggest fucker in a place, knowing everyone is watching you doing your set. | ||

When I first started my main reasons were to get girls and not have to worry about getting beat up. If ever confronted to fight I wanted to be able to take my shirt off and laugh as the other guy beggs me not to beat that ass and at the same time have his girl be getting off from looking at my body. My reasons now have changed. I'm hooked, I'm still not that big at 190#'s 5'10" but not a day goes by that I don't get a compliment on how big I am. I love looking back at photos from only 2 years ago. I don't even look like the same person.It's an unbelievable feeling to be able to look in the mirror after a set and see nice muscle definition and seperation and veins popping out. So I guess you could say I started doing it for the same reason as most other guys and although I still do I also do it for myself and the pride I get from it. | ||
