Just Curious...Why Do You Workout???

**JNel04** · 10-15-2005, 11:20 PM

i was just curious why is it that all you guys workout. is it because your're a BB, you take pride in the apperearance of your body, ur in some type of sport, you just flat out enjoy hittin the weights, or a combo?

personally for me i take pride in keeping by body in shape. also i really enjoy going to the gym. i feel like its my get away, i put on the headphones and just go to work and think of nothing else.

**24labor** · 10-15-2005, 11:57 PM

I've always cared about how my body looks in the past, but now for the past year or so I have been training for bodybuilding.

**Hackamaniac** · 10-16-2005, 12:07 AM

I enjoy the stress relief but I think just like most want to get stronger and look better.

**HULKBOY** · 10-16-2005, 03:06 AM

MOSTLY for bodybuilding but I drink too much to really set focus on actual bodybuilding goals so mainly its just the ladies plain enjoy it. but once i can stop drinkin (after college) i plan on takin my body to the limit. BUT i'll stay natural till I can focus on bodybuling and bodybuilding only.

**SnaX** · 10-16-2005, 03:33 AM

Im waiting for a post from that guy who said he works out to get some p-word...

I can't really see myself without lifting... I've been doing it since i was 12, and i guess i've always enjoyed it. I like getting pumped up, thats an amazing feeling, i like the release it is, i like improving my body and strengthening myself mentally when i train. Like to prove physical limitation doesn't apply to me. Weakness is my opposition, and I'm here to kill.

I really enjoy it more than a lot of people I know think... i like what the whole thing is about.
..I kept this one short.. no essay here...

**Flexor** · 10-16-2005, 03:51 AM

Reasons?

1.) For myself, to get bigger and stronger

2.) Impress the ladies, and show up the metrosexuals as weaklings (new age guys who have long unwashed messy hair, no arms, have ILS and use beauty products, and yet women like them!?!?!?) Nah, its just women aren't threatened by their masculinity.

3.) To beat other people who think they are god's gift to women and yet have never lifted in their pathetic lives

4.) Protect the ladies from thugs

That about sums it up

**Warrior** · 10-16-2005, 05:59 AM

It's a very personal "hobby" to me. I am not a competitive athlete but take pride in learning about something that I can get feedback on my efforts everytime I step in the mirror. Never really desired public competition - just the competition within myself so far. Bobybuilding became even more interesting to me when I began to study muscle mechanics and physiology. In High School it taught me to love reading - I began to read every fitness magazine and book I could find... I was actually buying books!

I began at 17 years old trying to get big enough to woop my ol' man's ass... but it evolved into a real dedication that has helped teach me the meaning of things like: motivation, education, discipline and progress.

Now 10 years after I first began a regular routine - I can't imagine my life without it. And I have never stopped lifting - sometimes I downshift to keep from overtraining - but never stopped... never wanted to. I'd sooner stop eating, sleeping, showering...

**Chemical King** · 10-16-2005, 06:40 AM

main reasons :
- achieve "visual excellence" (no need2 thank me 4 the plug to ur site swole)

- to show that i care what i look lie and have the motivation to do it

- I like to look good and superior to every skinny dude out there(not cos there skinny but cos they are to dam lazy to not be skiny)

- OH YEAH *****

**MuckDog** · 10-16-2005, 07:08 AM

1 - health
2 - to look good
3 - strength

**Smak** · 10-16-2005, 11:25 AM

1. Satisfaction and enjoyment it brings me.
2. Better body = better mind
3. HELPEd me rack in some hotties over the years

4. Sculpting the body is like art. You have the ability to alter your appearance for the better.

Oh i like that one. Gotta find my pen here

Note one thing though.. bodybuilding is all truth. You can't fake results. What you put in, is what you get out, and there is no way to cheat.

What we all do is prove ourselves. *tear*

Oh shit i need a tissue! weeeee

**TCEL300** · 10-16-2005, 07:25 PM

strictly for the ladies...haha that being said helps me focus...i know i have to get things done..planning my life around something gives it more structure

**ward065** · 10-16-2005, 07:43 PM

bodybuilding for me is a challenge and a strive.....to be the best that I can be.

**diponyou** · 10-16-2005, 08:10 PM

good question!!!!

i cant lie...

alot of it is so when i look in the mirror i can be proud of myself.... and not have to look at titties and a fat gut.....or little stick arms and ribs.

i work out to get complements(im self conscious)

i work out to help me accell at pretty much wutever sport or activity i do

i work out instead of doin drugs or drinking myself stupid(and im 20 so its hard)

and yes *****,because i have actual muscle tone i have gotten chicks over some skinny dudes.

and no i dont care if thats the only reason why i got chicks

**Steven7** · 10-16-2005, 09:17 PM

It's all for the ladies!!! No, I really care about my appearance. I've been training for five years now and my body has changed dramatically. I love it when you meet some chick you used to go to school with and they're gobsmacked. What a feeling.

Every fri night, I hit the gym for chest. Once we're finished, showered and groomed. The clothes hang off us so much better. Again, what a feeling. Walk into the bar like a king!

**JNel04** · 10-17-2005, 12:16 AM

[QUOTE=diponyou]good question!!!!

i work out to get complements(im self conscious)

gotta agree w/ you bro, i'm very self conscious but also very humble. its kinda werid. i kno i have a better body than the avg guy (which makes me feel good) or gettin a compliment is always nice, but then i compare myself to some of you big ass mother fvckers and thats what makes me push myself.

**Prol** · 10-17-2005, 11:05 PM

Time away from the wife.

**SprinterOne** · 10-17-2005, 11:24 PM

The added strength helps me run faster. I have always lifted for athletics, aesthetics is just a bonus.

**Prol** · 10-17-2005, 11:27 PM

My gf was busting my balls the other day about that ........every time i have a fight with her i go striaght to the gym .........

**Girlyman** · 10-18-2005, 02:58 AM

First and foremost, improved athletic performance (skiing, hiking, rockclimbing mostly)
Secondly I am scrawny and I want to look better since my face isnt that special and I like sleeping with attractive women. I gained 16 pounds this summer and all of a suddent I started pulling ass all the time so I think there might be a connection there. Perhaps it's just my new found self confidence that helped me pick up women, either way ***** is my favorite cheat meal

**xtinaunasty** · 10-18-2005, 07:03 PM

i workout to...

1. be proud of my body and know i worked hard for it
2. to impress the ladies (i would say guys too but they are usually turned off by it...i think they're scerrd)
4. improve endurance and flexibility for various sports
3. to relieve stress

i like the whole "body is like art" thing....deep

"I wanna look good naked" -- American Beauty

No, but its become a lifestyle now (Funny how thats happened in less than 9 months)... But before, it was pretty much like everyone else comments, I care about my body and how it looks...

I want to make my future wife wanna Fack the Shat out of me 4-5 times a day...

Haha - Fack the Shat? Nice...

I pretty much got tired of being a fat bastard. Been going to the gym about five weeks now, starting to like it. Still struggling with nutrition (damn carbs), but I'm sure I'll get there at some point.

**collar** · 10-19-2005, 04:41 AM

**Dave321** · 10-19-2005, 07:18 AM

I love the pumps and feeling of accomplishment. Looking like a crazy, veiny motha isn't so bad either... keeps fukers away from my chick, well, sometimes....
Just taking some time to perfect my beat!

**co2boi** · 10-19-2005, 07:28 AM

Carbs aren't so bad bro. My diet has more carbs than protein or fat and I'm below 10% bf without cardio.

**co2boi** · 10-19-2005, 08:10 AM

**BigLittleTim** · 10-19-2005, 08:31 AM

Two words: The Lust and Envy of others.

How's that for brutal honesty?

(Oh, yeah, and to "protect" the ladies.)
