Thread: The reason you workout?

strenght
size

Esthetics/Competition ... health and fitness is just a bonus!

I do it so's that if I ever have to fight someone 1/2 my age I can knock the shit out of them.............and Ive done it...............Rich

I work out for a multitude of reasons. One of the main reasons I work out is so I can be an effective asset on the battlefield. My Comrades-in-arms depend on me to carry my share of the load, and,(God forbid) a fallen buddie should he/she be wounded or killed in action. I take this charge serious. The last thing I want is to be in a situation where I need to carry someone to safety and am physically unable to do so.

And, like Rich46yo, it's nice to be able to "knock the shit" out of younger opponents in hand-to-hand engagements.

Like Brit stated, the health and fitness is an added bonus

I originally started to gain LBM and increase my strenth for performance in sports. now I do it mostly for health and fitness and to keep myself challenged on a daily basis.

Nothing much left to say after these statements. In a nutshell, its why I do it.

Look good naked.

I firts did it to loose weight, an now oddly enough, I wanna pack on more meat!!
I wanna be healthy, fit, strong and muscular as heck!

For me it is simple. I want to grow old. That's it.
Simple, overweight people have high insidences of heart attacks. I don't want to die of a heart attack. I want to see my kids grow up, get married, have kids, you know, the progression or circle of life (yeah, I know, like the Lion King)

Do I do it for looks? LOL....Nope, I would need plastic surgery to fix that and even that isn't guaranteed, I mean, they're doctors, not magicians....

LMAO!!!!lolololo

I started to lose 140lbs. By then I was addicted and can't stop. I'd like to look good and be strong, but mainly it's a stress reliever and habit for me.

to look as good as I can while I age ...
40 is just around the corner from me

To help Witmaster should he ever fail to be able to carry another from the battlefield, to be able to carry him, and so when he has to carry me I'm not a fat slob which slows him down and gets him killed.

In my mid teens it was to be able to stand my ground. In my late teens is was to be able to able to slap down anyone who needed it at any time any where. In my early 20's it was to keep up my rep and enjoy a SoCal lifestyle. In my late 20's it was to improve my physical skill at what ever I did. My early 30's it was to keep up with a horney wife and stay healthy. Plus I loved looking good. My late 30's it was a habit that felt good. My early 40's it was out of need to look and roll young. My son has an active life and I like being able to keep up.

Short and simple,


I LIKE IT

Fear

To be able to walk into any room and know that I'm stronger, faster and look better naked than any other guy there. I love walking through a room and getting a smile from a girl who is standing beside her boyfriend/husband.

its a celebration of human body and mind
