Top 5 reasons you train, lift, exercise???
I know everyone has their own individual reasons for training. What are some
of your reasons???

Here are a few of my reasons for weight training

1. I feel it improves my general quality of life; health and well being

2. To improve my strength to weight ratio

3. A passion for putting theory into practice (I wish I knew how to quit
you...)

4. It gives me a way to focus my energy, in a positive way; I like the
challenge of stepping up to the plate every day and saying: this is what
I want to do and then attempting to reach that goal.

5. It feels empowering to learn more about how your body works and how
you can manipulate its aesthetics through hard work and diet etc.

Hahahaha


Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Cheating on your wife and family is no joke, to think it is funny is pathetic.

That's not fair, I was 0 years old in 1986. Its not my fault that me and Arnold or Carson (whoever said it), both have great intellectual minds.

1.) General physical fitness and well being.

2.) Resentment at years of getting picked on.

3.) Strength and Size.

4.) Improves attractiveness, I need every advantage I can get with the
ladies.

5.) Respect, its nothing like walking down the street or a hallway and some
chump who doesn't work out damn near trips over his own feet to get
the f*ck out of your way.
