Why do you workout......................

[PeterParker]

Hiya all,
I dont know if this subject has been covered but what are the reasons behind you all for building your body up.......................:soapbox:

[WestyHeadbanger]

I got really skinny from mountain biking too much and eating too little I was 5"9 60kg (130lbs??).....my asthma was crap and my immune system was crap so i started training HARD.

Im now 72kg after 1 year.

I train now because I am addicted but there are worse things to be addicted to.

[captain piddles]

[IceRgrrl]

That's the real reason, yes. But don't tell everybody on the board, I want them to think I don't care.


She just confirmed it via PM.

Alex is making up fairy tales again...AND copying my reason for working out...so he sucks twice as bad :p

[Belial]

Woman, watch your tongue.

[Belial]

*runs in terror*

[PeterParker]

there nothing wrong with working out to impress.
thats why i go to the gym, there are always females working out on the cardo machines .
after working out there nothing better than watching girls sweat:rolleyes:

[Sledgehammer]

I do it because it makes me feel good....plus the girls like it when they have something to hold on too......and the last reason is I do not want to be average and ordinary...too many people already have a lock on being overweight or skinny, I want to be different....!!!

[IceRgrrl]

Alex, I will deal with you later :tuttut:

There's no one but me and my strength coach in the gym when I work out, so I'm not impressing anyone :p

Seriously though, I like the way a good workout makes me feel and I like being strong for my sport.

[Sledgehammer]

Plus when I jog in a red windsuit I do not want the kids to start yelling " Hey Kool-Aid".......

[PeterParker]

whats your sport

[PeterParker]

lol:D

[IceRgrrl]

Ice hockey :) I play on a women's teams and men's teams and especially on the men's team, every ounce of mass and strength makes a big difference...

[Relentless]

I work out so I can at some point deadlift more than Elpietro and thereby stop his smug gloating

[PeterParker]

very good IceRgrrl.Its a good sport unfortunatly where i live not 2 many people play ice hockey, buts we do get live games on during the week, but its whilst im at work.- BTW do u get into a lot of fights!!!

[IceRgrrl]

Fighting is heavily discouraged in the alleged "adult" leagues, but it does happen from time to time... :D

[PeterParker]

Fair Play:thumbup:

[Sledgehammer]

do they fight like on the Miller Beer commercial????

[Frozenmoses]

I workout because Arnold has been my hero ever since I was 5. The prospect of looking something like that after years and years of hard work and dedication drives me. Also, I like it when babes grab my arms and coo.

Bahaha! I workout solely to dangle the carrot infront of Cal, and let him think he may one day catch me! :evillaugh

[ElPietro]

Oh and to spot IceRgrrl on squats. :hump:

[WillKuenzel]

I need a reason? I thought it was just something I'm supposed to do.




For fun I think.

[cyclone]

I started working out to get bigger and stronger.............now I keep working out because it also helps me to keep from beating the hell out of the dumb asses I cross paths with on a daily basis.

Maybe you should come and play football again, big man.

...ooo000( If he re-injures his hamstring it'll buy me time )

Was that out loud?

[Tryska]

i work out cuz i like looking good nekkid.

[ElPietro]

Ha! I fell for that trick once. You aren't gonna get me to re-injure myself again in order for you to gain ground on me! :swear:

If you want, try and coordinate something with Jeff and we can get a weekend workout going or something.

We even have 45lb olympic bars for bench press. I was lmao when you finally realized that you were using the substandard bar! :D

[Sayiajin Prince]

i work out to make my body more in proportion to my scholnkey.

[ElPietro]

So you must be cutting right? :p

hey STFU, man!

We have ONE oly bar. ;)

Of course some dumbass is usually doing curls with a dime on each end but ah well; I just add a pair of nickels to the ends and it all evens out on the 35lb bars.

[bigkevin20]

I workout because I have been fat most of my life. Now I look great!!! It feels that way to me at least and this summer for the first time in my life I am going to have abs!!!! Do you hear me I am going to have ABS!!!!!!!!!!! My fat ass has never had a visible muscle in my body. What better motivatin than that. I am never going to stop lifting I love it and its necesarry part of my life.
Thanks my 2 Cents

[ThreeD]

I played tons of sports, 15 years of soccer at a pretty high level amongst others, so I never was a big guy in the first place. Soccer first introduced me to weightlifting, cuz my coach wanted us to gain strength.

So I started hitting the gym at the age of 16, of an on for years. Now at the age of 25 I started hitting the gym regulary. I started out at 79.6kg, and I'm currently at 89.2kg, or 196lbs at a height of 6'4 (193cm). My goal is 225lbs :)

I hit the gym cuz it's fun and it definately makes me look better :)

[MC Eiht]

I started working out back in fall of '95. The only thing I wanted was a six pack...not of beer. I played around as a kid, but I didn't feel as physically fit as people my age. Back to the topic, I work out because it enables me to do a lot of physical activities without getting tired, improves my self-esteem, and gives me energy.

[EdgarMex]

I started working out cause I sit at a desk all day I needed some physical activity. Oh, yeah and cause I was, and still am, fat and wanted to slim down. After soem time I realized that I enjoy working out, so now I work out because I like it and so that eventually in a not so distan future I won't be fat anymore. Or, like captain piddles, I'll be a stronger fatass

:withstupi

[Sayiajin Prince]

i saw that coming ElP i just couldnt do anything bout it cuz i had class...damn

[BCC]

Because I'm gonna die big.

[Munky]

I started to work out because my sisters b/f (now her husband) bought a new bench and all the equipment and put it in my basement becuase he had no room at his house. Before this time i never even thought about working out. So at age 13 i started lifting all that summer straight. I made some pretty good gains for my age. When we first started i had a hard time benching the bar so i was pretty weak. I was skinny and short. So by the time school rolled around (i think i was goin into 8th grade) I was looking pretty cut for my age but i stopped working out so steadily and kinda lost track for a couple months. Then when i got into 9th grade i started working out again so i could beat everyone in arm wrestling. Now i'm in 10th grade and just train so i can handle the heavy equipment i work with, and to look good and be strong.

[Manveet]

Because I'm gonna die big.

Me to. Or at least die trying.

[MrWebb78]

I work out for the challenge of it. It's only a competition between me and the weight that thinks I can't pick it up. ****ing weights usually win! I was told everyone should stick to what they're good at, and this is one of the few things I think I got the knack for.

[SaulDSL]

I lift and workout because I want to get a football scholarship. YES, this is going to happen.

[Beast]

Because it gives me something that the majority of guys don't have (everyone on this forum exempt, of course).

[Big & Tall]

I've been asked "why" a lot lately, and I have been thinking about it a lot...

I work out because it is the best feeling in the world. I have hated myself for being small for most of my life--the thought still eats away at the very fiber of my being. Ever felt that pang in your soul when someone asks, "If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?" and you answer truthfully? I am changing that most dreaded aspect of myself, and it is through my own willpower and dedication. Now, every day of my life, I am bigger and stronger than I have ever been. Every time I go into the gym, I put before myself a greater challenge than I have ever faced, and each time, I conquer it. How many people can say, on a daily basis, "Today, I accomplished something which I was never before capable of doing?" I can. I say it every day. It doesn't get any better than that.

I wanna be big.

I saw Pumping Iron when I was8 years old, thats why.

[Y2A]

My appetite is rediculous, I train so that I can eat alot and stay in decent shape w/my slow ass metabolism.

[Lizzie]

To be honest?.......to look good and feel great!:D

[FuriousFerret]

To look good and challenge myself.

[WestyHeadbanger]

I work out so I can hang at the gym and talk on my mobile in between my bench and curl sets.

[Coconutz100]

I'm in State Penantentiary. What else is there to do in the afternoons besides hide the salami?

[Santiago]

I leik dedlfts.

[Rock]

because I wanna look like Dave Draper or Arnold , and I also love the feeling I get when I train, and I also love the lifting.

[Rastaman]

I've always looked up to my older brother (older by 8 years). When he started to workout, I was about 13, and in complete awe of his biceps and his strength. I developed even more of an appreciation after I saw the classic film Pumping Iron. Finally after I moved out out on my own I began hitting the weights with a passion. Now after two years I'm bigger and stronger than my older brother. I make sure he knows it too.
