What do you workout/Juice for? Body Building or.......

**J-Dogg** · 06-19-2002, 08:20 AM

To just have a nice bod for the ladies?

I'm 6'1", 205lbs and 11% body fat, am actually pretty happy where I am now, but would like to drop about 3% body fat.

While my lifting partner is 215lbs, 5'9" and lower body fat than I am from what I can tell, but always wants to get just bigger.

I just like to be solid and lean, while having some good size. I have no desire to be over 240lbs, I think i'd scare the girls off If i got that big.

I'd be more happy with a Tommy Brief Modles body than Dorain Yates' body.

I lift for myself and nobody else. If somebody thinks I look sexy or like shit that's their opinion, but it's all about how I feel. I like to see my body transform into a more muscular physique but nothing like the pro's have. I'm just happy to have a hobby that's healthy and enjoyable to do.

lol not me,

I do it all for the ladies, just about everything i do is for them.

I guess my hobby would be ladies also then :P

I work out for them
Run for them
shower daily for them (what a pain)
I dress well for them
Hell, i even brush my damm teeth for them.

I do it for me, and too know I protect the one's I love better.

there's always the added benefit of the girlfriend liking it as well..

**J-Dogg** · 06-19-2002, 08:40 AM

If you wanna protect the ones you love better, get a gun or take some fighting classes :P

Being really strong is really only good for intimidation.

I do it for myself....but I HEAR YA J-DOGG i do it for the ladies just as much

**kylegrnt1** · 06-20-2002, 05:23 PM

just to stay in shap. And its never bad to have a nice body.

I do it for myself, to be healthy and get the looks. Also, I tend to be an angry person sometimes (damn Halo, J/K) , so I can take my anger out on the weights, not the people I care about, and regret it later. 3-4 years ago there were probably 30-40 people all hanging out at the pool, girls in the bikini's and guys with no shirts, and I was the lowest BF there, and at the time I was at least 18-19%, and I was the "skinny one" . It makes me laugh now when we are at the pool, or on the boat, I almost have the six pack, while my friends have the keg.

I do it for me; Lifting is like meditating, during I am at one with my body and after I feel all the stresses of life fade away.

peace and happy lifting

**concious** · 06-20-2002, 09:47 PM

I do it for me. For my health, my self confidence, discipline, and because there is something to accomplish that I have not yet done.

**broncojosh** · 06-20-2002, 09:56 PM

I lift because it makes me happy. I have a goal for myself, and to be honest, if I was doing it for someone else, I don't think I would achieve it. We have to live with ourselves...I don't want to look back 20 years from now and think I should have or what if I...Simply want to be in the best possible shape for myself, and if the ladies enjoy it, then that's iceing...

**BIG_GUNS_21** · 06-20-2002, 10:19 PM

I do it for me and no other reason. Its for the love of the sport not for girls. And being over 240 does not scare anyone away. I am 330lb now and I have NEVER had a problem getting girls.

**mike2112** · 06-21-2002, 06:09 AM

I want to look like Scott steiner...

**sav22** · 06-21-2002, 06:17 AM

I definately workout for the sense of accomplishment and the fact that it's so damn healthy. The perks of looking good and feeling good are just the tip of the iceberg.

**Buddha_Red** · 06-21-2002, 06:31 AM

I workout so i can finally give this freaking fat suit up

Im tired of making excuses why im fat, so off to the gym i go!

**MR PHATT ASS** · 06-21-2002, 03:41 PM

...i've always lifted for myself but events over the last 4 yrs i needed something to make me focus more on me...and it was this(gear). i was just consumed with trying to find out more and more about it..thanx to this place and the old (bodybuilding.org).plus i was like alot of people ignorant to roids till i researched..now im sorta in the known..so is it safe to say (drugs saved my life?) ..well pprobaly not that drastic but who knows what the future holds.....

**Nathan** · 06-21-2002, 03:44 PM

I lift for all the poorly treated lettuce in the world. I'm not entirely sure how it will help with the current lettuce epidemic but I am certain it is doing something. At the very least, I am getting bigger and thus become more an more capable with each passing day of defending the rights of the planet's precious lettuce. Man, I have to stop doing this. Sorry.

**Butch** · 06-21-2002, 04:30 PM

I lift for myself considering when I started I was 6'3 150 pounds at 20 years. I was sick of being skinny. Also, now that I have bettered my physique more people ar enoticing me. WHich in the end makes me feel better about myself and my wrokout habits.

**BIG_GUNS_21** · 06-21-2002, 05:24 PM

My bodyfat is just over 13% and dropping (about 13.4 or so now but thats by those electro things, been to lazy to use my calipers...lol) Best I have been was 292 at 9%

Should be easy to beat that now...

j-Dogg, I've been saying that for years!!! LMAOOOO!

EVERYTHING I do is to get the ladies... period. If I didn't like chicks & getting laid so much, I wouldn't care for my appearance. But hey, it comes with health benefits too. ;-)
