What brought you into the Gym?

I was in good shape when I was about 33. I met my wife married and have been happy ever since(20 years). Then one day about 6 months ago we were chatting with some friends at a family gathering. There was one of my nephews there who had been hitting the weights for about a year. My wife (without meaning anything by it) said to her friend, "Mike use to look like that". Man that hit down deep in my stomach. I thought about it almost every day for a couple months. So, I drug all my weights out of storage and went back to it. I guess I just didn't want to be a "Has been". I guess life had just gotten in the way. At any rate, I really enjoy it. I have everything set up in my garage and don't miss a schedule day there.
This most recent time I dragged my ass back into the gym because I used to look so much bigger. I got sick and tired of going back to VT to visit and seeing guys that used to be half my size being bigger than I was. I started in September and have been there consistently ever since. It is sort of an escape for me now and I like it.

Mainly to get stronger to compete in sports at the next level.
Getting huge is part of it too

When I started it was for physical appearance but as I have continued it is more for health reasons. I have more energy, feel better and am healthier. The physical appearance is a nice side effect though
Originally, I took weight training as a class in high school because it looked better than my other options. I started to notice that my strength increased dramatically. At the age of 14, my benchpress went from a maximum of about 195-200 to 270-275 over the course of 9 months. It made me feel better all around.
Once I got stronger, I also decided to cut some fat. I went on a rigorous training program and diet designed by myself that got me to lose 40 pounds. I was pretty happy with my appearance and health; I felt better than I ever had in. Unfortunately, once I had a steady source of pussy, I lost some of my drive to maintain my health.
About 8 months ago, I decided that I want to be strong again. I set new goals for myself, and I returned to weight lifting and jogging. However, this time I am more serious about the situation. Recently, I have decided to do a lot of research to help me reach new highs in strength and appearance.
So, my reasons are many. First, it was just because it sounded interesting in comparison to other choices. Then, it was to look better, feel better, and get laid. Now, my primary goal is to get stronger; however, my previous reasons (Particularly getting laid) still stand.

Have you ever stopped at the mall or in the grocery store or at the park and taken a good look at our youth these days??? They are all fat (or most of them anyway)! I started wondering why and then it hit me. They have no one to look up to anymore. Most adults are fat and out of shape. When my son was born last year, I made a commitment to myself, that he was going to have someone to look up to and be proud of. I've gotten myself in the best shape of my life, and I'm going to continue to improve myself for my son.

I checked to get women's attention becuase that is what first brought me back to the gym. I'm in my mid 30's and single and new to a small town with mostly military i.e. lot of guy not so many women. So I needed something to stand out. But that motivation only last a couple of weeks. Now I go becuase I like the way it makes me feel.
P.S. I'm still single

i wanted to kick other people asses (my age that is).Is that so wrong???i also wanted to look like a tough mofo and i succeeded!lol
Like most people, I first went to the gym to improve my appearance and to increase strength for use in high school sports. I've since grown to love it for far different reasons. Sure, I like being lean and muscular, but I love the release that the gym gives me on a daily basis. Some people dread going to the gym; I look forward to it.
Also, many people frown upon striking up conversations while they're working out. I personally enjoy the conversations that I have with people at the gym; I've made many a good friend there. The people I generally work out with know when it's time to get to business, and they also know when there's a minute or two to chat it up. Like anyone else, I can get frustrated at certain people asking me for a spot when I'm in the middle of a set, but I don't let it get to me.
The gym gives you dedication, a daily release, and discipline that's valuable in all aspects of your life.

I think it could theoretically. If you have a very poor circulatory system, then it could make a difference. I have my doubts it would make a difference for anyone except the most unhealthy of people.
Health reasons ? Who cares about Health ? I just wanna look good.
J/K of course

Out of shape, looked like crap. Feel better psychologically, have more energy, look better, have something to spend time doing that reaps results for me.....me.....
I started training at 12 (now 29) to get ready for junour high football. My dad bought me a weight set and some bodybuilding mags and before long bodybuilding was more important than football. But even when I was a little kid I wanted big muscles. I have pics of me at 5 years old doing a frt double bi

Well my ass has been on the sofa for about 6 months since my wife was dealing with pregnancy issues and now the twins are here I'm getting my ass back in the gym.
My energy has sucked, my attitude has sucked, my physical appearance has gone to poop, my confidence has been lacking and my general "oh well" attitude is pissing me off. So it's either give up and scarf down more ho ho's or get my shit in gear. I choose the latter.
I know I wont' find the answer in a bottle of magic pills and there is no magic remedy other than working hard.
....pass the redline please. lol oops.
One last note: Unlike others, I need to build up the rest of my body to catch up to my penis!

My answer shows how physically-oriented people are in terms of attraction. Then again, this is nothing new, and I highly doubt my post is original, so feel free to skip it.
I've been active my whole life in sports - since I was only 4 years old, I was playing competitive hockey and soccer - pretty much the two biggest sports here in Canada that kids grow up playing.
Being an ectomorph, these sports were ideal for me as I simply never had the build to play football, or rugby - which I don't care for anyway.
However, at the peak of my puberty I was merely 5'6 (I may be 5'7 now, but I doubt it) with 6-inch total diameter wrists, and 125 pounds soaking wet as the phrase goes. I've always been very lean, and in excellent aerobic shape though - I suppose I take that for granted.
During summer roller-blades along the beach, I often went without a shirt. Not to impress anyone (wasn't anything to show off) but because I sweat like hell. Well I saw all these guys, who were much "bulkier" than I was, who had all these pretty girls whistling at them. I realized that, despite being a nice guy, in good shape, experienced, etc. etc. that I had no way to "get a foot in the door" with the ladies. I was built like a woman myself, so that likely wasn't very appealing.
Understand, I wasn't after "pussy". I didn't want "lots of women". I was lonely. Very lonely. I wanted ONE woman. Women would be my friend and nothing more. I was, and sometimes still feel, invisible to them, despite my outgoing nature. Sort of a benign Napoleon complex I think.
Now, at 22 years old, and 25 pounds of mostly lean mass later, I finally look more... "masculine", although by no means "big".
Now *I* get occasional whistles (really, I do), and I met my now ex-girlfriend at the same beach I mentioned earlier, where she noticed me. Even though I don't genetically have it in me to even be as big as the "average" man, I do what I can with what I was born with.
I feel guilty and ashamed to have gone to these lengths solely to get women's attention. I'm also disgusted that it took an extra 25 pounds for me not to be invisible to them. While I can see why anyone wouldn't particularly be attracted to an overweight individual, I'd never considered that being naturally thin was just as bad!
So, a few very attractive women later, here I am, perpetuating the vicious cycle still by continually trying to get bigger.
Ah well. The ends justify the means right? I just wish I wasn't so shallow - same goes for the girls I seem to meet

I wanted to get as big as a "mofo" and kick the school bullys ass. Physical appearance and the looks that I started to get from the girls was enough to keep me motivated.
The pumping iron DVD and a search for self confidence
I originally started to work my quickness and explosiveness for hockey. Those 4 months I'd spend in the gym during the summers put me head and shoulders above those who drank beer all summer.
Now I just do it too increase self-esteem and self-confidence
