Cause i was really fat.

I was the weight i am at now, but only pretty much pure fat [and some bones, skin and body organs].

Now it's to impress the chicks and to let me know how strong i am. When i bulk i go on power trips...
 
I started because I looked like I was about to die at any second I was so thin, even though I ate a lot. I've kept with it because I like it, I have nothing better to do, and want to get a lot bigger.
 
Its simple really

With my class reunion coming up in 3 years I want to make all the assholes who used to pick on the easy target (i.e me!) eat crow. Kids can be extremely cruel and I'm looking forward to a little payback of my own. If I can make it into Harvard Law and get up to about...250 lbs at about 7% bodyfat at 5'8 I figure I'll have the ultimate revenge! Mwahahahahaaa!!!! As far as my chances... well I'm about 200, just starting serious weight training right now so I figure if I eat like a mother F'ing pig and lift weights alot then I have a pretty good shot of getting there. I may only get up to 230 (at a decent body fat %) but heck even that ain't too bad. As far as my chances of getting into Harvard Law school. I think I can make it, my grades are good and the competition isn't quite as severe as getting into the undergrad program so heck if all goes well I may get in.

kind regards,
Jeremy
 
well i started the gym 3 monthes ago and at first it was nothing but cardio and light weights, i just wanted to get into shape. Then one day i think to myself "hmmm, i wonder how much i can lift." suprisingly i lifted as much as some dude that has been going there for a while already, and i'm only 16! Yeah so thats why, plus im getting major results and the gf and ladies love it so i continue lifting. :fro:
 
because I am sick of following other peoples lead

go out everyweekend, get pissed and get fat and waste money

i now have the pleasure of looking down on them with the confidence that they waste time


and I do not
 
None of the above.

I train with weights to get stronger and to increase the functionality of my physique.

How come strength wasn't on the list, huh? It's a pretty good reason for me.

what makes me laugh is when people say to you

No, I dont want to look like a meat head, just toned with some muscle definition

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!

Do they think that working out on machines every day doing the same stuff and eating pizza will make them this way?

I used to think getting toned was easy and laughably weak until I actually started trying to get that way myself, then I realised it was damn hard and dedicated, then I decided I didnt want to be toned anymore, I wanted to be toned but with tonnes more mass

and so the story continues on and on and on and on...hehehe
 
Because I have to -- it is as simple as that. There is something within me that needs to train -- it is what I was meant to do, it is what I have to do. I have to train -- I have no choice in the matter. To deny myself of training, would be like denying myself of air.
 
I like looking good and being strong, so in a perverse kind of way the stronger and more well built i am the better i feel about myself.

I know that if i didnt lift weights id be playing some other kind of sport such as football or rugby.
Your costantly challenging yourself in the gym and if you fail you only have yourself to blame, likewise if you increawse yoiur squat it was you, not a teammate making that vuital pass.

Hey bro I'm the same way man, have you ever wondered if we have that need because our fathers before us were great warriors and trained hard for battle and that fierce need to train to conquer has been permenantly engraned in the blood that runs through us right now. And it's not something we can escape, we are the warriors of the now. We are training for something but what it is we do not know. And mabey the feeling we get from being strong is the same feeling that our fathers before us felt so when we train it somehow brings us closer to them.

I believe that people today sometimes don't realize how the people in our family history that have come before us have influenced the things we choose to do with our time now.

Mabey we are all training for some great epic to come?

Just thought I would throw that out there. :D

Ditto. Plus, I want to be one of the sexiest men in the world. Period.
oh yea...muscle helps you run faster. Look at some of them freaks in the NFL.
 
Mainly to relieve stress. With all the stress in today;s complicated world, we have to let our anger out in a positive way. Also to get big and shredded so I can someday have Denise Richards as my gf. (yeah right)
 
Cause I like it and law enforcment doesnt give any other choice lol
 
I lift to be the best i can be.I'm only gonna live once.I have one body.I have to live in it.I want it to be the best.I want to outrun,outlift,outclimb OUTPERFORM everyone else on the planet from NOW until the day I die.

Throughout all of lifes many twist and turns.All the hardships and all the joy.I'm always gonna be there working out.Life wouldn't be complete if i wasn't in shape.I'm not going to be slovenly like the rest of the world.I'll never be content with what I've acheived in life.I'm out there pushing hard all the time.I'm gonna die some old man on hormore replacement therapy.Probably doing heavy squats or deadlifts.

Sure quality women are always a good reason for working out.eventually most of us get married,have kids blah blah.I wouldn't be a man if i said it wasn't part of my reason for working out,but a small part it is indeed.
 
Bodybuilding gives you a great deal of empowerment, it makes you almost feel a master of your own destiny

You essentially become your own immortal god!!!

It bolsters your identity and is a visible method of highlighting your character

Its all about you and your effort/motivation

Its your ego on the outside
 
exact words of max intensity-
also, the confidence gained thru training carries over into everything else in your life.
If I didn't train, what else is there? Time consumed with spending more $$, eating junk, watching tv- wastes.
If you don't take care of the body you live inside of, what do you take care of??
 
None of the above,
Its a hobbie for me,rather than sit watchin tv or smokin' weed like my other friends(that are all unhappy with how they look)
and damn...you will get way more girls!!!
 
1. i enjoy the challenge
2. get pussy
3. enjoy the strange looks i get with a tank top on. ( i hide my body most of the time)
4. learn new and more efficient ways to change my body
5. become master of my own physiology
6. gain experience in many forms of training to take that to my clients and say that i actually have experience.
7. get pussy
8. eat a bit more freely knowing i can "fix" anything i may do.
9. get pussy
10. meet a nice girl who trains hard just like me ....and get her pussy.

hehehehe. ;)

alright overkill on the ass part, but the gym is full of pussy.
 
I like knowing that I am working hard for something. There's a sense of confidence and self worth that comes with that. I like the pain, seriously. It feels good, the day after working yoru chest, its so sore you can't flex it. It makes you feel like you've really done something. I like seeing myself progress, knowing that I was a big wimp, and now...i'm not so much a wimp...and soon i'll be noticably bigger than most guys my age.

Plus, its a journey. When you wake up in the morning, you have no pump, you got a fresh zit, you feel like you will never get bigger, you just have to smile, and realize that, if you never started lifting, you would never be able to feel what you now feel. It's just part of the journey, grin and bear it, look at the big picture.:bawling:
 
I lift for a couple of reasons. First because I was all fat and tired of it, I wanted to be huge and people look at me amazed, I wanted to win every natural contest I could, and to get some pussy.
 
To boost my confidence, the little that I have. To show others that I can succeed. To help remedy the ridicule I have delt with being underweight. And like everyone else said to get stronger/bigger and ultimately more chicks.
 
i started cause i wanted this hot chick very badly but the more i got into liftign the morei lieked it and forgot about the chick but now i badly want this chick from my gym but 1 problem im 19 shes in the 28-31 age range
 
I strated training to relieve stress. Now I try because I want to get some girls attention, and the pain feels good.
 
To get buffer and buffer!!

If you talk to guys who compete they never tell you they do it for chicks. It's an added bonus. And hell...come to think of it I have not had a girl ever since I began training...maybe I should quit? LOL. I do it because it is a lifestyle that I like to live. I like the hard work.
 
i trian to get as big as i can,i have friends but some things are more important then gettin trashed every weekend
 
Yeah, all that party does nothing for them. I like to toke up when I get the chance and maybe a drink here and there, I'll probably party more when i'm back home in Indiana. But, 10 years from now the party crowd is going to be fat and miserable. There is no life in that.
 
'Cause I was a fat bastard three years ago (290 at 5'10" with no muscle and a BFP that I'm guessing had to be around 40% if not north of there), looked like crap, had no energy, had high blood pressure, and was right at the point of having to face up to going on drugs to control my blood sugar. I was depressed all the time, and while I hadn't consciously considered it, was starting to have recurring dreams involving suicide.

A little over 2 years later, I feel pretty good, lost almost 70 pounds so far - and gained muscle, blood pressure is fine (high end of normal, but not a problem), and the only time I have blood sugar problems is if I miss a meal 'cause I'm trapped in a damn meeting (diabetes sucks, there's no way around that, but I'm pretty lucky - I don't have to take insulin or any other meds.) I actually get people at work asking me how I did it, and when I was meeting a new guy for the first time a while back, one of the first non-work things he asked me was "where do you train"? Mabye it's an ego-thing, but to have people compliment you on your success and be able to tell you work out even in normal business clothes makes you feel pretty damn good.

And having been successful so far, I can actually picture myself getting to my current goals: single digit bodyfat with another 10-15 pounds of muscle. As vain as it may sound, I want to get to the point where women (women into buffed guys, at least) look at me and think "hey, I'd like to see him naked." I've even toyed with the idea of going far enough to enter a contest next year - still a way to go, but if I could get up in front of a few people wearing less than my normal underwear, then I'd say I'd have The Battle Of The Bulge won once and for all.

And that's why I work out...and lug my food to work on the train every day...and don't go out for lunch or Friday night binges.

Now if only I could cure being such a long-winded bastard!
 
Don't f*<k wit me

I'm fairly muscular and big for my height 5' 8", 200 & 8 percent body fat. Basically I don't want to be the biggest person in the world, or strongest for that matter. I don't think you can accomplish either without a little chemical help. :o)

The reason I work out is I want the biggest person in the world or the strongest person in the world to look at me. Then think to themselves "Well yea I could probably beat him up, but he's really going to fuck me up if I attempt it." I just want people to think twice before fucking with me...I guess the proper word is intimidation.

Ok and yea I like the way it feels when you go to the Mall and have to buy an "Athletic Fit suit" or the fact that tight shirts don't look to bad. That and then you meet the guys that think because I'm slightly more built than them, that I must be stupid or an ass. Then they talk with me and realise I'm a nice guy, and not Stupid. At 21 I bought my first house...can't be that stupid. I guess it's an EGO trip at times.
 
Well...I have no friends and am bored.I lift to escape from the boredom.I also feel better about myself and so do the ppl around me.

Good work man...sounds like you've came far. :)
 
Well, I'm new here but anyway.......... I started out a fatso with a 42"waist and weighed 245. I'm 6' tall. I had a 40" chest, skinny arms and legs. Just plain U G L Y !!!! . I looked like any other old fart....hairy belly stick'n out from under my tee shirt ! Sooooooo
after 11 years of this, I'm 242, 52"chest 34"waist 19"arms. Overall I feel a hellva lot betterand look better. Finding cloths is a pain but..... Is it an ego trip?...I guess in some ways...A lot of people just kinda stare...but most of all...those AH's in bars just let me alone !!!!!! And to you young guys and ladies.....KEEP AT IT !!!!! I did this starting at 41 years old and I'm 52 now...and still gaining.

Take Care !

because getting one more rep than the last time is good
knowing I controlled my body to do it and didn't give up is even better
 
wow, does not seem that anyone on here trains for a sport!
Jeez!

Ow well, i train because it makes me feel good and makes me hit harder in rugby.

peace....
 
i train because im trying to look good and symmetrical...get a good amount of mass, and then cut from there...im not trying to be huge, just buff
 
Why? Because I can!!

I lift for the intensity, for the best high of any drug. If I didn't lift, my adrenaline would be dick, and that doesn't help in football. I don't think that there is anything better than the feeling of getting a new max, or the feeling of failure after a big set. It is too hard not to lift. Who wants to sit on their ass working out their thumb with a remote!?!

my muscle dysmorphia will not allow me to stop ! I'm 6'0 240 and growing, when I look in the mirrow all I see is skin and bones...;)
 
Quote from a poem by Ranger called 'Why I do it'

Most of all I do it for me...CAUSE I WANNA BE A BIG MUTHERFUCKER!

Yea, that about sums it up
 
I train because i wanna be the meanest mutha fungaler ever to walk this earth.
 
I train for many reason. I train because when i walk into a room i want people to look and say damn i want that body. I like the feeling of knowing people are wispering about you when you walk by. At my college I walk around and my people think im on roids. which im not but i take it as an extream commplament when i hear people asking my friends if im on something because there to scared to ask me to my face...I love it. Thats the reason i train .. I love watching my body change over time.. pushing my mind a body to the limit!
 
I was a skinny shit and went to the meanest fucking middle school in the country. So....I started out wanting ( and getting) big arms, shoulders and chest to survive in that jungle. Had no idea how to work legs then....just wanted that upper body so I could walk around in tight shirts and survive in that jungle.

ALso I played football and baseball in high school and it made me a lot better at these activities.....so THAT was cool

BUt....the bottom line was right off the bat...after the physique started sprouting....all the CHICKS who had ignored me in the past.......started coming around....flirting....commenting....touching....and OTHER THINGS.
MAN......this was the main eye opener to me. I was for all intents and purposes a different person


Whoever said.....its whats on the inside that counts better rethink that one....its purely physical. That is absoloutely why I have continued to train ......from the time I was thirteen.....till now....at FORTY.

I love it when a chick at 25......flirts and thinks Im in my twenties.......The anti aging aspect of it is cool.

Hey....its like that dickhead from LIMP BIZKIT said.....I DID IT ALL FOR THE NOOKIE!!!!! Hey guys.....whether we admit it or not.....thats why we do a hell of a lot of the shit we do!!!!
 
id rather work out and be healthy than get trashed every week. Its funny if you look back at the big shots in your highschool who were supposed to be the great athletes and whatever by the time they are in their early 20s they are overweight with a beer gut and a lot of the skinny or fat guys these punks made fun of are a lot more successfull and look a lot better b/c you get tired of getting made fun of and getting passed over for shit so you set out to change your life.

True!
 
So that people who feel the need to show me how big and tough they are get a shock when they start with me. It also helps me to try and be a nicer person
