How do YOU answer the question?

[Times Roman]

You know the question.

If you do this long enough, you will be asked the question.

It's a common question. People are curious about the strange behavior.

It is strange. You eat different than most. You spend a lot of time by yourself at the gym. You have a strange language you seem to speak. And you obviously look different.

Why do you do it?

[austinite]

DaFuk?

[tarmyg]

You have got to get some sleep TR.

[Times Roman]

Why do you do it?

All the long hours in the gym, the crazy diet?

Mostly what I tell people is that some people like to work on their motorcycle/car. You know, throw in some bigger jugs, performance cams, better heads, and make improvements all along the engine and drive train. it's the same, except I'm improving "MY" horsepower, instead of on a car.....

I have friends that see all the effort, the foods I avoid, the booze I won't drink. I get the "you only live once" comment from some of them. Like I'm depriving myself in some way. They get the physique aspect. And they get that it's a lot of work. But when they see the work in process, when I pass on all the shit they eat at the restaurant, and all the bullshit mixed drinks they swill, I always get the "loosen up a little, will ya?" It's like every time I go out, I need to make an exception to the discipline.

So what do you say when you are asked?

[lovbyts]

So I can look like I do and what tbey want one too. Most guys , like my co workers say all the time they want to do the 90 day workout because they are fat or out of shape. That day or the next they are eating fast food like most every other day.

They have no willpower or real idea what it takes but they know they want to look more like I do. I say the tv adds are lying to you and if you want to look better they need to change their lifestyle.

"Because I fvcking feel like it." It's usually not really the food I eat that gets the comments (except when they notice how often), it's when I go over to a party or a bar with them and I order a sugar free sprite or 7-up to nurse all night. Or when they find out that I'm going to the gym in the middle of the night (which is mostly because I'm a night person, but still).

I'd come off the morphine IMHO.

[yettibecsuse]

If im in a good mood; 'I have a heart condition' I don't but it shuts them up, bad mood 'mind your own fcken business' both work

[Khazima]

[derekkpapa1]

Because I want to be toughest mother on the planet (or at least my neighborhood).

I believe the question is: why sacrifice to train and diet?


For me it's a drug. I used to drink and go out a lot to find my high.. Now I do it in the gym and lead a more productive life.

It's Not as much of a sacrifice as it is a healthy lifestyle.

[BG]

Does it cause brain damage ?

[Deal Me In]

I say, because I have a goal. And to achieve my goal I have a plan I have to follow. My goal is more important to me than a plate of hot wings and beer.

[JJ78]

A few reasons:
Health
Look good naked, shirt off.
Know that I can handle myself in situations that can arise.
Intimidation
Cause a man should be strong and powerful.
The high I get from seeing changes, and working out.
The wife and I put it in our vows that we would never get fat and gross

lolololol awesome

[diesel101]

When I get asked I like to rip my shirt off and while flexing scream "THIS IS WHY MOTHERF****R!!!!!!"

[< <Samson> >]

Why do you do it - well, I like when you're wife looks @ me with those eyes. The ones that just say; "damn it, why can't you be him"


^Priceless^

[Nij]

Instead of answering their questions, just call them a scrawny (or lardass) wimp.

[diesel101]

I tell them because their wives need someone to dream of while having sex.

[frank13]

reasons ^^^

[DADDYDBOL]

An addiction to discipline....self discipline....if you can achieve that in your personal life there should be no reason you won't be successful in your professional life

[DADDYDBOL]

No greater feeling than setting a goal and achieving it thru hard work and sacrifice

[DADDYDBOL]

That is why I do it.....anyone can be fat and lazy.....if it was easy we would all look and feel amazing

[Euroholic]

Wait what? You want to look good for when you play tackle with a bunch of guys?

[lovbyts]

I dont even think about it 99.99% of the time but there are those .01% times that can be fun, such as when I was with the GF (much younger) in the Philippines and we are waiting for a bus in a sort of remote are and I see these 3 late teen boys who are your typical kids looking for something (trouble) to do and they see me and the GF from a distance.

I see them exchange some words and start walking our direction. I just get the feeling they are up to no good. I'm wearing a button up long sleeve shirt with a tank under it even though it's like 90 deg. I decide to take my long sleeve shirt off and all 3 boys stop in their tracks, exchange a few words and go the other direction. lol

It's also nice to get those random comments from strangers like nice guns like I got a couple of days ago. Caught me completely off guard because I have a long way still to get back to where I should be and was but at least I'm headed in the right direction again.

Wait what? You want to look good for when you play tackle with a bunch of guys?

LOL, you guys are relentless.

[Euroholic]

Wait what? You want to look good for when you play tackle with a bunch of guys?

Yes i do. Theres always bimbos lurking around.

[< <Samson> >]

Ahhh, yes - this is why I do it:

Damn, man what you been up to? You looking fvcking yoked man! Damn!

Makes it quite worth while

Haven't seen the guy in about 5 years.

They'll do a cosmetic surgery like this for free?

Was 6000$ but with the government rebates cost me only $800. Gyno is not a cosmetic surgery its classed as a medical surgery. My mate in ireland got it done 100% for free.
