The reason u do it?

[Pestosterone Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Pestosterone]

Why do u lift and spend hours in the gym? time away from your family starving your self, gorging your self with food? What is your reason? I'm curious as to why others do it
My reason is unclear to me but I love it!
grew up watching action movies want to look like Arnold played football fell in love with the training aspect of it and use to bench press every day in highschool now most days the best part of my day is stepping into the gym and getting blown up I'm addicted to that feeling the bar bending and shit risk injury to b stronger and bigger risk my health taking steroids idk why I do it and still self conscious of how I look reluctant to take my shirt off in public like at a pool for fear of judgement I never look as good as I want to rarely want to go anywhere Im a hermit stay at home any chance I get unless I go to gym.
Share your reasoning if u like...

I started when I was 13 and competing in rowing in Spain.... Needed to be bigger and stronger to kick the arse of the 15 years old... Two years later i was bigger and stronger than any of them....nowadays just to feel too and look good without a shirt lol

Hell yea that sounds badass rowing competetively I've seen it on tv!!! In America we have football or baseball foot ball sucks bunch of glorified criminals chasing a ball same with basketball unimpressive to me. Baseball is good to Get me to sleep.

I do it because I like not being average. I have a pretty average job and a pretty average lifestyle, so the one area I have to not be average is my appearance. The more I can separate myself from the average person - in the gym or on the street - the happier I am. I don't look for reasons to take my shirt off, it's just a personal feeling.

Been at it for 4 1/2 decades man so its hard to say what got me started other than the typical to be better,stronger and tougher than the next guy.I always had that desire and drive to be the best,which for me was never,nor is it ever attainable.Im always,to this day,looking for a better me.Im constantly on the quest for knowledge and improvement.

My love for the MMA and Bbing,has been whats kept me young and led me into the biz that I have now so while ive struggled many times through the yrs and have of course had my failures as well as my success,ive always kept my goal in sight and knew that I would get there if I kept going after it.

Still am.LOL

I have been doing it for about 5 years solid now, and like my wife said now its my obsession!!! I love being at the gym and seeing what kind of changes I can do to my body, I feel like a sculpted and my body is the clay!!the sky is the limit well so is my age but its not stopping me!! If I can't go to the gym I'm not happy!! Plus I like the way my wife looks at me when I'm pumped up at the gym!!
