WHAT are you and WHY?

[longarms]

I am a husband/father/musician/soldier/trainer who happens to weight train as a lifelong hobby.

I absolutely suck as an athlete. I love to play basketball and softball, but have no natural talent. (my brother on the other hand is a great athlete)
My current workouts are powerlifting style, but size and appearance have also been very important to me. I have never competed as a powerlifter, but will when I come back to the world.

The inspiration and information from the EF crew has been a great motivator for me during the last few months.

Another great thread, Oh Slavic One!

i train like a bodybuilder but i dont consider myself a bodybuilder. i have people ask me am i a bodybuilder, also people ask me am i a powerlifter. i even have people ask me what sport i play. im certainly no athlete. i just like to lift (i like it ALOT).

You definately look like an athlete, though. Keep it up!

Im an athlete, i need to be a powerlifter, a strongman, and a body builder all in one. I need strength, i need functional strength, and i need to have muscle to protect myself.

Plus i need to be in tip top cardio vascular condition year round.

I train mainly for strength. I get great satisfaction out of it. Bodybuilding is too subjective IMO.

I consider myself a little of everything ...

I know I want to excel my body in many dimentions, not just strength or mass ...

Bodybuilding is definitely out for me, powerlifter not me I am not into using support gear, actually I don't think I even know how to use is properly, lol... Strongman-maybe, I train for moving strength but don't have the equipment to truly be a Strongman. An athlete-hmmm seems more like it, I want speed, agility, explosive power, absolute strength, and coordination, so I train that way

Id classify myself as a power builder. Kind of a mix between powerlifter and bodybuilder. My main thing is this: Whats the point of being huge if you cant back up that size with some incredible power? I want to be huge and powerful as fuck. =)
