**Why do you train?**

[diesel101]

Man, its kinda reassuring and inspirational to read some of these posts. Like Charger, i had a pretty bad back injury from a car accident, had to have spinal surgery, walk with a walker for a long time. And like Diesel, for years prior to that- since a time long ago when i was hittin it hard and cycling in my 20's- i wouldnt be seen in public without a shirt on.
The problem with alot of people, is you dont know where to start, so you dont start at all, jist keep sittin on the couch eatin cheetoh's. Once i was mostly back to normal, i decided i was gonna start sonewhere, whether it was the best way to do it or not, and make the adjustments, put in the work, and make some sort of progress.

I guess by default i assume when i see a dude in good shape and ripped, that he had the motivation i didnt, started doing it 25 years ago, and i could never get to that point starting back at 40. But the more i talk to guys instead of assuming, the more i realize its just as attainable for me, and i have the goal of being able to walk around without a shirt on this summer, and if i can acheive that, then ill give myself the next goal

You got this! Once you start seeing some results and gains that will be all the motivation you need.

I was a short chubby kid growing up, it really effected my self esteem and confidence, and some issues still linger to this day....

At first it was so I could look better and pick up chicks and feel that I wouldn't have to worry about eating a lot and shitty.....

Now it's just fun, therapy, the desire to be a good powerlifter, I enjoy being "big"......it just seems my life is now off/not quite right when I take too more than a day or 2 off from the gym...

For me there are many reasons and reason have changed too.

I started training to be able to defend myself, since I had some problems with gangs and shit when growing up.
Greater size meant I could take more beating before I go down, and when I we started using weapons that was even more important. Not to mention that size is a great deterrent.
(Not that this was common at all, usually folks don’t wanna fight unless they have a clear advantage, so most fights wasn’t what I call fights, it was more like cleaning your room or something, and even that wasn’t common. But you know, you only have to be in one such thing to change your psyche)
But that only got me started and wasn’t really the reason anymore when I was 20 or so, cause by that time I already was muscular enough and knew how to deal with shit.

Anyways, I continued to train cause that is the only way I feel grounded.
If i don’t train for 2 weeks I have trouble walking. By trouble walking I mean that I will start to run instead of walking whenever I’m outside.

I also feel like a slob when I’m not training, so vanity does come into play as well.

I’ve also had some substance abuse issues in the past, and training is the only remedy. If I stop training then why wouldn’t I use, just in a controlled manner? (Which I am able to do)
But I don’t want to go around being in outer space. I can do that now and then; but for my daily life I want to be here.

So there’s lots of reasons really.
I notice now that being older and having done so much other type of training the last year it’s kinda scary.
I need to do more weights again.
Cause without weights it seems I’m not grounded enough.
I have to train so hard that I fall asleep standing when I get home to feel ok, when not training enough weights. So I’m gonna up my game again there.

So yeah, that’s it really, lots of reasons and I can’t ever stop.
Vanity, feeling grounded, loving it, can’t stop, don’t know anything else, and lots of other stuff I’m sure.

Because it makes me a lean, mean fucking machine!

Why do you go to the gym and put yourself through all that pain?

What motivates you to eat the clean foods and constantly go and lift weights?

Will you ever be satisfied with how you look?

What size would you like to be so your content?

Ive spent many many years doing things what many normal people would think are insane and as I grow older ( not as old as Kel by the way) I ask myself these questions often. With age my mind set has changed and my goals are different but please tell me at your stage "Why"?

Why?
Some sort of mental deficiency, I must push myself to the edge to experience happiness. Plays into all aspects of my life.
Size I'd like to be?
Big enough to fit Marcus between my cunt lips and squeeze him till he taps out.
Will I ever be satisfied?
Fuck no. Look at my scrawny ass!

What is clean food?

[Obs]

I don't think I like it anymore.
I will do it hard core until I die though.

Don’t like it anymore?
Why not?

[Obs]

Don’t like it anymore?
Why not?

Primarily because it is consuming.
Eats into everything I do. I can't do anything without considering the ramifications it will or will not have toward muscle.

I turned down alcohol and good times with the girlfriend many times and the cycle is just starting.

It is expensive.
I spend 1000-1500 on gear and ancilliaries each blast plus trt. Food is ridiculous plus the toll on the body...

I should have been a cowboy.


Im not giving up ever but I don't think its the greatest thing anymore. Hell I hated my ex wife from day one and I carried on till that bitch left lol!

[< <Samson> >]

Real shit - I like working out. . . . It's longest time during the day that I have peace & quiet + I get to look at hot asses

Well, at least that's discipline and determination.

[KINGKONG]

I like to be bigger and stronger than most..I love the rush after a really hard training session..girls are attracted to muscle and that’s nice but it’s not a motivating factor in itself..The lifestyle gives me purpose,gives me a reason to go to sleep early not party all night and eat clean..I like setting and achieving goals in the weight room and life..

Why #2 for me: Because I still want to be better than these young fvckers half my age.
