why train hard for strenght, girls don't care how much you press....

[Crying Brian]

I was in the gym tonight, I am in my 3rd month of 5x5. I can bench 275 for 5 sets of 5. I got to thinking why push your self so hard when you can just lift lower weights for high reps and get ripped with a good diet. Girls don't care if your big, they think if you are ripped then you are strong. Does the girl go home with the guy that is ripped at the club or the big guy that is strong as hell? Girls don't know the difference. Excuse me for rambling i am just tired,lol.

There is a thread here you might want to look at: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=217609

Personally, I lift for me - my own enjoyment and general health. I've consciously tried to weed out the desire to impress others over the years. It's unhealthy and clouds your mind.

If all a girl cares about is the body, then I don't think I'd want to be with the chick anyway. Same goes for chicks who go for guys with nice cars. When will those bitches learn.

that kind of thinking is going to lead to you standing in a mall holding a purse with your mouth open wondering, what the fuck happened to me?

Because if I'm hitting on some hot chick and her boyfriend starts sh!t with me, I want to be able to kick his @ss.


Just Kidding.

This is why I train HST. I could give two shits about how much weight I'm using. And regardless of what others say, there is nothing wrong with training just to improve your appearance.

it is when you're doing cuz what someone else thinks.

I lift for both reasons. I lift to improve my body to look and more important feel better about myself. I also lift as a challenge, after college I needed something to keep pushing myself after I stopped playing sports. Lifting was the answer, I honestly hate the weights, they are sitting there saying I can beat you (cant)lift me X amount of times. I want to destroy everything in the gym...be stronger...bigger...harder than everyone in the gym. If I see someone bigger or stronger THAT pushes me more to the best I can be. Yes, it is a pretty damn cool to have girls lusting after you 2
