I think I have started a small penis club.... Gopro you better join as well.
 
My whole life I've been an outdoors girl....never been sick!!! Always been big in the boobies...but the rest was nice and firm...then came the kids and Cancer!!! So finally after getting the all clear....I hit the gym to regain my body back.....and to be able to handle life again!!!!

My 3 girls need a positive role model.....and the only one they see 24/7 is me.....What type of a mum would I be if I couldnt teach them my motto..."Only one life...only one chance!!!"
 
I started going to look better and get healthier
 
When I first started lifting, I never thought about getting huge and all that. All I wanted was to get in shape. And then I started taking supplements and read these magazines and fell in love with it.

Mentally, I just want to be bigger than the other guys and to get a lot of women. And something that I want to accomplish if everything in my life fails. I want people to notice the hard work and dedication, time that I put in to get the body that I have right now, etc.

Physically, I'm still young and there is still a long road ahead for improving. I'm just going to take my time in perfecting proper form and technique over lifting heavy...but of course I do lift heavy. Its just that important things comes first and hopefully get over with my ego sometimes. That's all.
 
I had become a female sasquatch.

A friend's picture of me actually. Double- maybe triple chin- and a belly? On Me? I hadn't really noticed, but I had no tone left in my chest, arms, legs, & neck.

I weighed within 5 pounds of my fittest weight ever but things had shifted.

Instead of having muscles I had flab.
Instead of a jawline I had a double chin.
Instead of a six-pack I had a beer gut.
Instead of Pecs I had boobs.
I was Fat not Fit.
Whereas I always looked young for my age- I looked my age and out of shape.

We had a picture of me on vacation where I was reaching into the frame and were like hey, whos tit is that? It was me and it looked like a hairy breast !:barf:
 
For as long as I can remember muscles have facinated me, same with martial arts. I wasn't allowed to have weights until I eventually reached 11 years old though, my dad I think mentioned the typical "stunt your growth" stuff.
 
I went there because I've always felt too skinny and basically wanted to be able to move some people around in my sport (basketball)
 
Mudge: You sound like you don't believe that bodybuilding can stunt your growth? Of course it can. It is scienfically proven... Why else would virtually every bodybuilder be under 6 feet tall? I mean...there must be some sort of a connection there?
And even if there was none, why would you want to start lifting at such an early age. You should be out playing with your friends at 11. Bodybuilding shouldn't be something you feel that you HAVE to do. It should be something that you enjoy...
 
Cenox you are 100% incorrect regarding bb'ng and stunted growth...

a persons height is genetically pre-determined but there are negative physiological factors (certain illnesses etc) which can effect ones height but weight training is not one of them...the ONLY negative aspect of weight training is it increases free radicals...

what brought me into the gym:

my feet gee guys :rolleyes:
 
I started bodybuilding to lose weight(use to weigh 240 lbs, fat bastard)
Now I am just addicted.
 
I quit smoking, gained some extra pounds(a good thing), so I decided to make some serious changes, now like "Chest Rockwell" I'm addicted! :D
 
I want to be the man!
Actually...its something more than that. Its just that I want to excel in something...something that I really love...and this is it.

If everything else in my life fails (career, whatever), at least I have something to prove and excel into. I want to make the most out of my life and look best, muscular and bigger as much as possible.

It was a combination of several things. For the most part, I was embarrased to take my shirt off at the beach because I was so skinny. So I started working out in order to look and feel better. Now I can walk around shirtless and STRUT. :D

...and then I joined a year or so later cuz I was trying to score with him :thumb:
 
im not gonna lie i started so id be a big mofo and kick ass but after i really starting going i fell in love with the weight now its an addiction and i dont care about kicking ass ,i just know i can if i have to lol
 
I originally joined the gym because of all the babes who worked and worked out there. But after some time, I just started to realize that I loved they way I felt when I was done after each session. Its the tired/refresh feeling I have that keeps me going back.
 
Well unlike some people in here I had oversized penis and I wanted to have a more proportional look. :shrug:
 
UMM :confused: ALL OF THE ABOVE????:thumb:
 
i was 201 @ 25% bf i was dating this girl. she, at multiple points, had access to my penis which at several times came into contact with her hands and mouth. she left the country for about a year and came back after i had lost weight and got down to about 165 from dropping sodas, junk food, fast food etc...we started seeing each other again and well, close contact resumed and she made a comment, 'wow, your penis is bigger!' i said, 'really?' (note: i come into contact with my penis on a regular basis, however, i've never really took much thought in how big or small my penis was, just as long as it worked) so i started being consistent with working out and eating right to be leaner and to help keep the fat away from my penis...thanks to ironmagazneforums, i now have a bigger penis...
 
I have suffered from a fair bit of depression and find that working out with weights is good for alieviating it. It is also good for boosting self esteem and confidence. People treat you differently, women that 3 years ago would not give me a second look now ask to feel my arm. If i go out and see guys who made my life a misery at school they now want to buy me a drink. I know these last two reasons may seem shallow but at the end of the day who wants to be a scrawny virgin who gets sand kicked in their face?
 
i love it
I love BB since i was young...
I want to be bigger...stronger...and attract girls...
well they r my simple reasons...
At least i want to carry my gf easily and pulll my body weight easily...
I love the toned arms...and i am happy that i have more defined body....

And i wannna say...i jerked off 1 feet more...after i become stronger...hehe
thanks gym ;)
 
My penis was too big and I wanted to make it look smaller compared to my body....

No?

Ok...I was in Jr. High School and I think I just thought it would be fun. Later I stopped and started again several years later, mainly for health reasons.
 
I had a fitness assessment after suffering my third time of intense lower back pain - I didn't think I was that overweight (5'10" 190 34-35" waist) but if my back went out I was in hell for a week at a time. I went to sports medicine, had a fitness assessment (they outlined an initial program targeting losing 10lbs and lowering bodyfat from 20% to 15%) - went to a nutritionist and figured I'm make it work for six months. I dropped 20lbs in about four months, moved the waist to 32" and have made about 10lbs gain of muscle, slowly but surely over the last two years. I went home for a funeral a few months ago - saw my old high school gang, all middle aged, fat...we are all 49 now, but every one of them remarked that I looked in the shape of a 25 year old.

Besides, I teach at a university - I wanted to do a Hulk crunch at the students on their first day of class.
 
Well I started out grossly fat 4'9" 235lbs. Damn thats round. And one day said I wanna go on a diet, and never looked back. In a year and a half I went from my rolly polly self to 5'9" 153lbs. Over the summer (2months) I lost 27lbs when I first joined the gym. I have no clue what my bf was then and still don't, but I know its way down.

First it was for the health, then for the girls, now for an obsession of working out, I think its just a matter of how far you let yourself get into it. If you limit yourself you limit the reason you do it.

Finally, someone who doesn't neglect their flexor digitorum and flexor hallucis muscles!

(Took way too much time to find this.)
 
It might seem shallow but i noticed the number one thing in my life that was letting me down was my fatness. I was embarrased to wear t-shirts and shorts, let alone singlets. I was sick and tired of being labelled a fat joker and i would never take my shirt off in public, which would limit my life greatly, especially in summer. Then about a year ago i came across this forum which i spent weeks reading inside out, as well as other forums and books. It is now after a year of dieting, cardio and weights that i cant keep my shirt on for longer than 10 minutes, people that called me fat for years are now asking me to train them and get the body that i have and girls that never took me seriously are now drooling with desire haha.

Life is deffinatley too short to be fat or skinny and people have to realise that although the ideal bodies they see today at the gym or at the beach were reached with hard work, commitment and dedication, those bodies were reached and one can never aim too high!
