Why do YOU do it???

[BrandonXJ]

just reading this interesting thread...does anyone do it because you feel physically better and more energetic. I thought I'd see that at least once. ;P

I sure as hell don't feel better and more energetic after maxing out my 4th set of squats, and then doing hamstring curls and then calf raises and then trying to run for 20 minutes, I can tell you that. Energetic? How about seeing stars and close to exhaustion?

If you feel energetic and physically better after a workout, you're not working hard enough.

It makes me feel good. I feel energetic about an hour after a heavy leg day even. I just feel so accomplished. It's nice.

Yo man, fatmasterfat bro, my bad.

Bran. I'm your friend.

I was just really fat all my life and I mean really fat in the pat year and a half I managed to turn me from a 278lb man to a 168 lb weekling to now a ripped 206lb maniac that turns head everywhere. I love the feeling of walking into a room and girls I couldnt pay to look at me drool, its the constint stares and fliting and the way people just come up to you and start asking you all these questions. Its when you lift and are halfway through a set and glance around to see the whole room staring in aw. Its knowing that I did it all by myself, I built me. Its when you havent seen some one in a couple weeks and they almost shit seeing you . I love it every second of it I cant ever fathum how everyone dosent do it. Oh yea because they cant or they just dont care about themselves enough to. Being where I was in life such a short time ago is what really mokes it all worth it. The only problem is I am so damn picky I dont think ill ever find a girlfriend, no girls around here work out or eat healthy. Being lonly sucks but honestly it to drives me. Just my 2 cents.

because i want to do the things young people do forever. i dont want to age like the people around me have. my mates have love handles, beer guts. their formerly hot girlfriends sag all over. they look sad, unhelathy, and talk about the good old days.

its partly vanity, its partly a desire for health, but overall, really...its a desire to live well, not just to live

Vanity, good way to deal with the day (get out those agressions), people with msucle tend less to look saggy and mushy when they get older (nothing worse than old skinny fat/flabby people) and well, I love really good food and that metablolism slowed down after 30 (SOB!) .
