    I train for me - self improvement. I don't really care what others think. I set personal goals and when i achieve them i make new goals.

    I like the way fitness makes me feel about myself as well as the attention I get from people outside of the gym.....

    Because I can do this. I might not ever be wealthy, I might not ever be named president of my company, it's too late to do pro sports, but how I look and feel is up to me. The reason all those cheap excercise equipment ads are on tv is because everybody wants to looked buffed, but almost no one does. I will, Lord willing, before it's all said and done, have the total package - size, shape, cuts. 90% of the people who crave it won't get off their azz and go get it, and that makes me want it all the more.

    "Today I will do what others won't, so that tomorrow I will be what others can't."

    Also, I want to set an example for my kids. My eleven y/o and my seven y/o already beg me to let them work out in our basement gym.

    I have to agree with everyone here i just love to train ,it's the only thing that makes sense to me is going to the gym and training hard ,i love to see actual progress ,i guess it's like studying for an exam , working really hard making alot of sacrafices and getting a good result.You train hard to get good results within the gym.

    thats what motivates me.

    I just like to be better than everyone else. Average is laim.

    It's also fun to be too ****ed arrogant to care what girls think about you. Being a ripped, strong concieted bastard and still slaying more snatch than any of your friends who have the best intentions in the world is priceless.

    I look at self-improvement....building my own 'self worth'...
    Also...health-wise.....and you all know the ladies have a lil something to do with it too....if not a major role...a minor one at least...

    I know this sounds stupid but it's the truth. I am married and would never do anything to hurt my wife. With that said. I work out for my ego. It's the look you get from a girl that wants to get with you bbecause you are built so good. It's the stare of the new guy in the gym when he sees how much you put on the bench.

    Everyone says I do it for myself. Well being ****ing huge and ripped has never been proven to prolong life. Exercise in general has.


    Everything a man does is for a woman in one way or another(some guys for guys)

    For motivation, I go to a huge NPC show in California to see lots of ripped bodies, fine ladies, etc. That always helps to ignite that fire again.

    You are prolly right 99% of the time,but not in this case. I live in OHIO. Enough said. Personally, I just wanna see how much bigger I can get my quads to be to make my penis look even smaller..

    I usually just go down to my home gym and take a look at the Schwarzenegger posters we got, that usually gets me going for a while. I also have like 300 or so pictures of him working out. Lately though it seems im working out just for the sake of working out, I do it because I have always done it. I also enjoy seeing the hot fitness chicks in the gym.

    Personally, I don't know the motivation behind my motivation and frankly, I don't want to know.

    Working out for me is like been anaraxic. When you look in the mirror you seem to small so you go back in the gym and pump more iron

    When it comes down to it - isn't that what life is all about? From proper basic hygiene to the job you hold... we, as males, are pulled through life with one basic primal instinct... "must get laid." Eventually you find the one you want to get married to... but then your still doin' sh!t to stay out of the dog house - to hopefully get some. I mean - if women never existed and mankind was full of just men who procreated without any sexual relations... we would be a bunch of broke, lazy ass slobs!
