Why do YOU work out/use gear?

[gettnlarge01]

I would rather be big and strong than small and weak.You get more respect and less hassle from people weither they know you or not. It's what I was born to do and don't want to do anything else.

I started working out to be bigger since i was a scrawny fuck and to get girls. Accomplished those goals and i now want to compete and am juicing for that reason.

Same reason as everyone here.

Insecurity. Bodybuilders are intensely insecure people who feel the desire to build a shell around themselves or to feel "tough".

um...everybody does something to reverse their insecurities, whether it be buying expensive clothes, taking martial arts, driving a big truck, or a million other possibilities. Not just body builders my friend.

women, self confidence, and a better life style.. women and a few men have always hit on me because of my physical shape. feels good to still receive that kind of attention...

I'm a recovering addict with six years clean. Now i gotta tell u i used to mix up (un)healthy doses of heroin and coke and mainline it on a daily basis. I'm very experienced in chemically induced bliss. That is NOTHING compared to the feeling of getting stronger - of being able to do something i could only dream of before. Ya ya i like the sex and the self confidence too of course but for me the ultimate kick is in trancending those limits of ability. Great stress relief too.

I liked Hyp1's answer as well. Yes this can be used as a temporary replacement for doing rec drugs... Only don't expect it to free u of all the work staying clean nessecitates. Some ugly monsters need facing if ur truly an addict and wanna stay clean man.

I competed in the eighties and settled for second in each contest I competed so now I'm in the masters and am not going to settle for 2nd best.

word to this. I have noobs come up to me and ask for tips all the time in the gym now. And yesterday, I was walking around the mall by myself and some black dude with his girlfriend said, "damn dude, ur cock diesel." lol I don't think I warrant that, but its cool to hear I guess.

when i started lifting @ 14 years old it was for football & hockey. by the time i was 17 it had turned much more into my lifestyle.

i worked out consistently until i was 25 ish. sadly, i spiraled into a 3 year haze of crack, opiates & benzo's....you might find it hard to believe, but i still managed to workout during this time. i lost weight, motivation, and to quite frank i was morally bankrupt.

I have been clean since this past January 6th. working out now is like my salvation, it really gets me going each and every morning. It is definately my replacement therapy. Instead of being fucked up 24/7, now i have body building and the lifestyle to be obsessive/compulsive with.

I will also add that i like the pussy that comes along with it. there is no better feeling then when you are plowing a chick and she can't stop feeling your chest and arms and she comments on "hard" you are. its an easy thing for her to want you more because you know that more likely than not, the last guy she was with had bitch tits and love handles.

sorry for the novel
