Why do we lift?

[Ozzy27]

You need therapy if you enjoy lifting. I hate lifting, I hate being sore, I hate limping, I hate people carrying me to my car after my workouts, I'd rather have my muscles grow by themselfs without lifting a weight.

Maybe this game isn't for you then. Pain is part of the joy for me. That's how I know it's working for me.

Bro , I've been in prison a couple of times and I can still say my ass is a virgin ! It's not the size but the heart in an individual. I've seen big dudes brought to submission by a little guy with a big heart and a little attitude. Looks will scare someone off but if you aint got heart , you got a dick up your ass in prison bro. I witnessed a big dude go down ....HARD !! So that theory is shot out of the air now.

I'm with you bro, like Pac said "life is a big game and u got to play it with a big heart". Truth is you could be 500 pounds and have no cojones while a dude who weighs 100 pounds can whoop your ass, it happens every single day on the streets, the big dude who thinks hes arnie gets bitch slapped by the lil dude hes picking on.

I like it cos I enjoy the burn, like the physique and I enjoy how it impacted my life mentally, i feel a lot more satisfaction knowing im getting personal goals and also think it helps me in my life.

I also do a little boxing and MMA so it helps there too.

Yeah, I''ve witness a lot of big guys die, hence the shooting smily. Having heart is important, but you gotta prove it to everyone you meet. When you walk down the street nobody says "Damn, that guys got a heart like Rudy" they say "lets whip that skinny bitch". When you're big you at least get a little respect, and its more like "Lets whip that big bitch", but at least they are a little intimidated and therefore less likley to do anything other than rob you and leave. I guess I don't know, but I've been near a lot of dead people and am still alive so I must be doin something right.

 

[Ozzy27]

Ya know....it is funny though how everyone who has messed with me was always the little skinny type. And it's probably the same reason why I picked the biggest guy at the bar one time just to prove I wasn't chicken and to gain respect. I got my clock cleaned , but atleast it wasn;t by some skinny dude. Hey , I'm a whole 5'7" 197 , so I aint the picture of big , know what I mean ?
I really like lifting for the pump. I leave the gym feeling mentally , emotionally and physically great.

A sentence to live by..........Aint nothing badder than a bullet !! We live in a society of punks who tote guns thinking there cool , and they don't even know what there hands could be used for. So all the size in the world means nothing if your in this game to intimidate !

I lift for self gratification. I love the “burn” and knowing that you have given your all that day in the gym.



It’s true that some people need to be put in there place. I think anyone who looks down on someone else should be put in there place (including those of us that are in great physical shape.) Maybe you have a superior body compared to them but they might have a superior intellect compared to you. And don’t forget as big as a person is, as smart as a person is; there is always someone that is better

So they have a better intellect than me. I dont try to bring them down because of that, so why do they try to bring us down? Its because they are jelious and pathetic. I also dont agree 100% with your last statement.....

There is always someone better....Thats true, but you just gotta keep pushing as hard as you can and there will continue to be less and less people better than you. Soon, you will be at the point where, when ever you go somewhere, your usually the best or one of the best around.

Accepting what you said holds you back, but not me.

 

[Golden_Muscle]

Those pussies can shove their intellect up their asses.

 

[Grabz]

None of the above.

I lift cuz I play a violent sport (football). 60 minutes of organized

violence. The ones who play ball but don't get after it in the

gym; they get to get knocked on their ass for that 60 minutes!!

 

[jcp2]

I don't like team sports, and i like people less and less with every passing day. I like to put my headphones on and take my body to its limits, i like to get that unatainable rep, to break that personal best, and to be able to go out without having to worry about getting into a fight.

Thats good bro. And to piss of jelious shitheads even more. Its just extra pleasure.

 

[Rocket Man]

I lift because it helps me pass gas.... *grin*

 

[The Conquistador]

I lift to look better and feel better about myself. About a year ago, before I started lifting, I had some really crappy self esteem, and lifting has really helped me out and has also taught me a lot about discipline. I now look forward to my workouts and bbing has taken over a good chunk of my life (in a good way) I love the pain that comes as a result of a hard workout the next day, as it lets me know that I worked as hardas I could, and now can work even harder and heavier the next time.

 

[Drace]

I lift to feel good, and look good. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[ac253189]

GM are partly agree with you, but i think everyone should be friends. HAHAHAH. j/k. I know there are some conceited people out there, just got to make sure you tell tem you dont care about them. if we punched the conceited people dun make us too much different than them.

 

[DTOX]

None of the above.

I just like looking at men's muscles and taking showers with them.

 

[Aztech]

who bumbed this one?

 

[monstro54245]

I Can and others wish they could but are to lazy.

 

[SCHOOMONEY]

I Initially Started For My Health. But Once The Girls Started Rolling In. Well, That Says It All.

 

[Lucky13]

The gym is my home, I train there, relax in the jacuzzie, steam room, sauna, I meet my friends there, I eat there, shit there...without the gym I'm a homeless bum

 

[outlawtas]

I love working out (not so much cardio). And yes, I like the way it makes me look. Unfortunately I HATE dieting and love food, so that is my biggest challenge.

As for working out making me "better" than someone else? I don't need that sort of re-inforcement, and if you do all the muscles is the world isn't going to change that....ever notice ugly, poor, dumb guys with sexy women? There is a reason.

 

[bucky]
