Vanity seems a bad reason, as the more serious you get the less most women are attracted, read "turned off". Innumerable singles ads begin with "no bodybuilders" in my area. . . It is much easier to get a brad pitt/etc body with a fraction of the work as real bb.
And while modest resistance prolongs functional strength in age, most old bbs or pls look like crap. A big body weight (fat or no) has been shown to decrease life expectancy in prospective studies. And if you factor in anabolic, cholesterol probs, hair loss, acne/skin aging, tanning . . . Fact is, to live forever you should eat vegetables only/sprouts and do yoga and long hikes all day in between meditations. Bodybuilding's not about the future -- it's about the here and now
Like most I started for sport (wrestling) and the lifting took over.
But this is a good thread, as I was just wonder what my goals were with all this as I was driving home just now. I originally wanted to compete, but looking in the mirror, I have size and low BF, but I am old, hairy with all sorts of scars and lumps of poorly healed bone from fighting, and I've had to admit the last week or so that BB is not a real option (50 Cent : "I'm not a pretty nigger, but my mom thinks I'm handsome . . . ") I have decided to do pl meets to challenge myself and chart my progress.
I guess I like to feel strong and I like to challenge myself, and that's all I have left! That's all it takes to keep me going!

My body is the one thing I have near total control over. It is my project, my unmolded clay to make into that which I desire it to become. I am the master architect, and my body is my piece de resistance. It reflect must reflect my highest values; it must reach for perfection.

To being Strong and Athletic- Because one day you may have to stand up and fight for what you beleive in, or protect those who you care about. There are people in this world who put their trust, faith, and life in your hands- how can you sit back and not be able to protect them, you betray their trust.... Because in the long run I don't want to be saying what if I had just a little more strength.......
