Why do YOU workout?

[Elite Power]

I searched for a thread like this, so hopefully there isnt another one.

Why do you workout? Everyone has a reason, whether it be to look good for the beach, compete, or just look good for your own confidence?

I workout because I want to see how far I can push the limits of my body, and how I can sculpt it almost into a work of art.

So whats your reason?

Well when I graduated highschool I was only 5'6" and 124 lbs. I had a baby face and was always having to date younger girls (not really a bad thing) but mainly because I looked like I was only 15 or 16. Today I am 180ish lbs and still only looking 18-20 but atleast I can score with the older chics. Especially since my wife is the only girl older than 23 Ive ever dated. I am 27 now and hoping to hit 200lbs this year for the first time in my life. But now that I just got into a freakin car wreck I have to take a little break from the gym.

Well get better bro. You can definately hit that 200lb mark, just keep pluggin away. That being said, thats a lot of weight you put on bro. Damn good work.

I do it because I have a shitload of caged anger, working out allows me to release it. I look at it as me against the steel. That way I dont hurt someone or get hurt myself. and I have to admit- I like it when I meet people and they start calling me "bigguy" within the first 10 minutes. What I hate about it is every fucking punkass bitch asking me off to the side "hey man you juicing?" that shit pisses me the fuck off- gear is a small percentage of it.. working hard is a big part of it...

Addictive personality is my main reason. With that being said I must lift or my addictive personality will find something else to get addicted to.....

Amen bro, I fucking hear that. Most people think AAS are a "magic pill" or injection that gets them big. Lifting is about diet, training and rest. You dont grow when you lift, you grow when you recover and eat correctly.

Exactly!! I work in a field that is full of cocky fucks, if I don't take it out in the gym I end up lashing out and I don't want to rip body parts off of clients at work.
