What is your motivation?

Except for the ones who said vanity or looking good , you are all full of shit. You may have started out for different reasons but the vanity keeps you going.

wow, you must be incredibly wise to intrinsically know that every single person who lifts weights does it solely for the purpose of looking a certain way. i had no idea that powerlifters went to all that trouble just to look the way they do.

I doubt that most even started for vanity and, for sure, vanity is definitely not enough to keep you going.

We should just burn the troll.

lol.. vanity? I stay away from mirrors for 11 months of the year becuase I hate what I see...

lifting for chicks... nope, most girls think usher is jacked. Cardio, coke and bowflex is all you need for that.

lifting because I want to be the biggest, badest, strongest motherfucker I can be, yup.

Now thats my kind of talking!!!!!!!!!!

used to be for image, and then i realized that weight training didn't help my self-image. but then i coincidentally started doing other stuff requiring functional strength, so suddently it became a tool to support a meaningful hobby.

Plus it puts me very much in touch with my body. there's something about using and taxing various muscle groups that really puts you in touch with body movement. During the course of the day we tend to forget about our body, the shell the carts us from this to that. Something we'll always have, and worth taking care of

The ladies of course! If I miss a training day I feel like I'm off of my game.

To look like I was carved out of wood, oh yeah and my wife too.

At the beginning it was physical appearance. I wanted to get muscular to attract women. Note to any guys that have yet to figure it out: women, in general, don't like very muscular guys, though they do like low bodyfat. You start getting bigger than say, a sprinter, and you're starting to seriously limit the number of women who are attracted to you.

Now I train to improve my athleticism, strength, and functional performance. Appearance is secondary--my chest is down to a mere 42", yet there are an overwhelming number of women who have told me I have a "perfect" or "ideal" body. Wish I had known that a couple years ago.

note for you young guys..
cock size matters more than bodyfat
strong glutes and abs will increase your stroke power
