Ha - I have never met 1 person who weight lifts for better health.

Good grief, this gold dispensing pastime of mine is getting tedious.
I CANNOT believe this Victory feller actually clicked on Submit after typing those words. Not so much because HE hasn’t met someone who lifts for health but the implication, indicated by the “Ha”, that probably no one else has either.[/quote]
Youve misinturpruted the ha - it was meant to show how suprised i was at this as a response - not because i dont believe their are people out their who do this, but because it was a genuine suprise and the though of seeing said person in the gyms I have been too (over 15 in the across the noth of england alone) would be completely out of place. Not that gym cant be a place to get healthy, but because of the gym culture i have experianced.
And whilst i accept it is a reason - id expect it is a small portion of people who start initially lifting weights to get healthier

A lot of people start a lot of things and stop doing them. I started scratching my ass, but then I stopped when the itch went away.
The people who lift after 20 years of doing it are doing it for other reasons.

I must be the exception. Started lifting to make that high school football team and here I am 20 years later. If couch would have only put me in back then, we would have taken state!
I have a video of me throwing a football over some mountains.
I will upload it latter if I remember.

What. The. Fuck? Thanks for wasting a minute of my life on inane pointless bullshit. Why worry about why someone else works out? Dumbest waste of energy in the world.[/quote]
You read my post, and it felt like a waste? - Ok my apologies, I accept fault.
But you took time to respond? - Im not taking blame for that.
Those who train for no particular reason other than to commune with the Iron. Usually after being 1,2,3 for awhile and finding that training in and of itself brings its own joy, peace and solitude. [/quote]
I agree with Samir. As ‘reasons’ to train have come to an end in my life, here I am still grinding away. I still want to make wimmen week in the knees, tho.

I’m curious, how many people have friended you since 12:58 Tuesday?[/quote]
Since you brought this up, what is the point of friending someone on here?
I realize you asked because of his moving comment I have just never figured this out.

It’s not really an optional distinction. Our phyiscality will eventually fade. Proper training will perhaps delay it by 20-30 years, but in the end, we’ll all be in the same physically infirm place, whether it’s at 60 like most Americans or 70 like most Europeans or 80-90 like some exemplary members of society.
Those who truly benefit are those who used the training to work on their “inner” bodybuilder, to enjoy the journey of self-discovery, and to bring them closer to inner peace.

I couldn’t disagree more. I happen to believe that age is merely mind set. age exists mostly within your mind. I haven’t worked out all these years to someday lose it all. No way baby. no way. with todays modern supplementation, and future supplements, I just don’t see a determined man losing the muscle he’s built up. Your mind is a powerful weopon, and can be used effectively against anything.

Great point.
I watch Walking Dead and have read Forrest Griffin’s, “Be Ready When The Shit Goes Down.”

Rogue you are very consistent with your views, I’m starting to think you are a real person!
