Everybody has their reason why they lift weights. Share yours.
As for me… It depends WHEN you ask. lol. If you ask my teenage self why, it’s because I wanna be fearsome. And nothing intimidates bullies more than big muscles and big strength.
But I’m 28. My priorities have changed. Lifting weights is simply an extension of my passion. It’s a glorified hobby and I came to recognize that big muscles is actually an element of good health. Really.
I hate my body with a passion. To get what I want I have to lift weights. If I could take a pill and not lift anything and have the desired look I’d not even consider working out. It’s hard, takes time, dumb food needed to grow/shape yourself. It sucks.
As a 5ft 0 Asian female, lifting makes me feel strong and capable.
I also get an ego boost every time men at commercial gyms stare at me deadlifting 
I can hook you up with a pill dealer. Very cheap
It keeps me sane, and my anger/self control in check. I was very angry in youth and like a immature child I was I found violence to be the answer. But the gym is now my home and taught me self discipline.
as odd as it may sound, the more alone time I sound with myself the better I get with coping and dealing with situations with people.
People now tell me, im the funny out going guy instead of the nasty want to be bully I was.
If it does what I described. Where do I send the money?
To Shadaloo headquarters. Talk to Zangief.
I dunno ur local DNP and AAS dealer. Try the WhitePages or someshit
While most people believe you just take it and wake up Superman, unfortunately thanks to this site I know different 
I dunno. If you don’t mind dying and take enough shit sky is the limit
Also I think DNP doesn’t need training exactly because it’s like fat burning but legit stuff.
Any time I look at a girl squatting a lot and deadlifting a shit ton of weight just for 1-3 reps I stare, I stare but usually because I wonder if they have a real good reason for doing it. Most of the time they don’t, they think that doing it will make them look better, but in reality it will just make them look fat because they will be fat if they continue to strive for PRs.
it keeps my muscles huge and sexy
When I started lifting weights it was definitely to be strong and to get female attention. I was always skinny, but I always admired a well developed physique even as a child.
Now (at 26 years old), I would say it’s all about maintaining strength and my youth as I age. As well as maintaining mobility, and there are SIGNIFICANT benefits to brain health and neuroplasticity which comes from exercise.
But mainly because the pump is amazing 
I like your post. lol. It sounds like me, to be honest. The only difference is that instead of doing it (when I was young) to get girls, I was doing it to REPEL bullies.
I like lifting. I like being ripped. I amaze myself. A lot of women like it. A lot of guys like it too. I like being alpha.
lol … why they’re probably just critiquing your atrocious form hahahaha … you lift like a girl
nothing in this sentence is accurate. Do you own a mirror?? 
My present motivation: stay strong and active so as to model healthy activity for my son. Plus it’s sooper easy to go to the gym when it’s in my garage. Fuckin’ best investment ever.
Prior motivation: it kept my muscles huge and sexy
Just got my combo rack and plates and assorted bars in the last few weeks. I agree 100% about the garage gym!
And also if I am gonna be fat i can at least be strongish…
Because I’ve done it for so long I wouldn’t know what else to do these days. I’ve trained with weights for over half my life (I’m 43) and it’s pretty ingrained. It’s not obsessive and I only train twice weekly due to family commitments but I still push myself to make gains and see what my limits are, especially as I age.
PLUS, most guys my age are totally out of shape and I don’t want to look like that or feel how they likely feel when pulling their clothes on in a morning.
