Too often I'm reading posts about how so many guys are in this for the chicks. For example, some pencilneck writes about how "big guys get no love in Mexico" and other posts titled something like, "you guys do this to get girls right?" GIVE ME A FUCKIN BREAK. I used to wonder why bodybuilders and weightlifters in general get this negative stereotype, now i know why. I started off as a little runt who wanted to be a better hockey player. Then, I didn't want to be the school's punching bag. Now that I've surpassed all that, and see the light, I'm STILL doin this because I LOVE IT. plain and simple. I love this more than I love most people. I've poured my heart and soul into this. Sure, I like to turn heads, but that's so damn shallow. What happened to the purists? The people who love the sound of two 45's ringing off each other during the bench. Music to my ears! Anyone else????? ------------------     | ||

To put it bluntly, there is only one person I lift for... ME. I strive to be stronger, healthier, AND safe while doing it... I love it like a sport. Anyone doing it for others is doing it for the wrong reason. I for one would love to hear the sound of 3 45's ringing  | ||

I'm with you man, I feel the same way, some guys are so shallow. Fuck I can't name one single fucking girl on the face of the earth that would go through one of my workouts in order to look better for me. Its insane if u do it for chicks. Esp since I am getting to be a big boy now, there is so much more pain involved with lifting. Joint pain, soreness, the muscle fatigue is the least of it. If u do it for chicks, your either a shallow punk, or u train like a pussy so it doesn't matter. ------------------ | ||

tru dat! it's something i do, and a lot of other good bro's on this fuckin board do for ourselves. i love lifting. some of my friends give me shit, but i always tell them, " fuck, look at you, do you love the way you look?" i lift for me, not cause i wanna get more chicks, but because i love doing it. i'm not as strong as a lot of guys in here, but it's a good feeling when i'm in the weight room at my school, reping 275, and people are just like, damn! even when they look at the weights, they're like, who the fuck is doing that? it's a good feeling and i know each and every one of you who love doing it know the feeling. BUMP THIS SHIT! ------------------ | ||

If you ask around, most girls don't like the huge look, so saying that you are in it for the chicks doesn't make sense. | ||

Most woman don't like the really big look. They also know if they get involved with you they will always be second to lifting in your lives. So if you are trying to get big just to get a woman you are mad. Do this because you want to for yourself. If you can't get a woman join a dating agency it is a lot less painful and cheaper. | ||

I cannot imagine doing this, or anything that is TRULY worthwhile for anyone but yourself. I feel that is makes you a better, stronger, and more disciplined person. I know for a fact that lifting, and bodybuilding have helped me be a better husband, father, and son. When I look at my 5 year old daughter and know that she is the happiest little girl in the world it makes it all worthwhile....Inspiration for me!!

Gotta agree with everyone. I am doing it for myself. For the first time in my life I like the way I look. As a result of feeling good about my body I am more conifdent in all phases of my life. I would recommend this to anyone. Of course most people won't do it becuase it is hard. | ||

Already posted this reply before, but here it is again. ....
I got to 200lbs my sophmore year, with a nice Florida tan and full head of blond hair, and yes, I a lot of nice attention. However, THE metamorphosis was already occuring. End of sophomore year (about summer-time), I discovered the joy of heavy squats. I took what little gear I could find and afford (mostly fake dbols) and that is when the CHANGE occured. I started getting really big and strong. I also started losing hair, getting bloated, and disliking everybody in my little rich, elitist private school. The anger fed on itself and I did wind up huge and strong... about 240 by graduation. At that time, women did not like me so much anymore. In fact, they were downright scared of me. It was nice. I found I preferred it when people just stayed the fuck out of my way. Life has continued that way. I have gone over 300lbs and competed in powerlifting, gone down to 235 and gotten ripped up, but I always go back to wanting to be huge and strong. Current goals.... get that squat back over 800lbs with a ripped physique. And why do I want a ripped physique? Is it for the women? Hell no... it just makes you look bigger. Couple a fit physique with massive proportions and you have a truly freaky individual. Hope that enlightens you guys. Peace. SquatLord | ||

How about us chicks who DO dig the "Big Look" and love our work-outs just as much as you guys do. And we do it to look better for ourselves too. The salivating dudes are just a plus! | ||

I don't know about you guys, but I lift to compensate for a poor self image acquired during adolescence. The ultimate thrill for me is when people think my compulsion...er...um..dedication is freakish. I want people to fear and respect me so that I can approach them on my terms. I am a very nice person and I don't abuse this respect when it occurs. | ||

I have to agree that it takes a special woman to be a bodybuilders wife. My first wife felt like she was second in line to the gym(she was), needless to say it didn`t work out. I am re-married to someone who is into fitness as strongly as I am into bodybuilding, and this makes all the difference in the world. I do it for me, I have always done it for myself. I was a wrestler in high school and college, loved it because it was an INDIVIDUAL sport, just like bodybuilding. ------------------ | ||

I must say that I definitely lift for my own self worth also. The payoff comes when I see old friends and they ask how much I am training. What's really funny is when they ask if I've lost weight, and I respond "no, I've gained 15 lbs" | ||

I love the feeling of seeing the bar flex in my hands when benching when you put on at 315 or more. !! Being big is a huge boost to our SELF-esteam. | ||

I like doing it for mysef but I have to admit, the pussy is great. I think the problem stems from shooting a gram or so of test a week. I don't know about you guys but I can't get pussy off of my mind. I think about the shit 24/7. Oh and for those that remember one of my old posts, now you know why my right trap is so much bigger...... | ||

I do it because I can. I do it because it makes me feel like I'm better than everyone else. I can change my body because I have the discipline, and most people will never be able to. | ||

I must admit that I initially worked out so I wouldn't get stepped on and could approach people without them thinking I was a sickly skinny kid asking for a food donation. When I found out my fiance was pregnant everything changed. I wanted to be in incredible shape and get some pictures taken so I could show my daughter that her old man was once in good shape. So I guess you could say I did it for a female, but this a case that maybe only the fathers on this board would understand. | ||

I've been training for 17 years and I swear to this day I still get excited before I go to the gym. Its like I'm about ready to ride a roller coaster. People have said that I must to it for women or to scare people or to impress people. The bottom line is that I love lifting weights man. The body sort of developed out of a love for training, discipline, focus, and that feeling of pushing myself as hard as I can. Not many people understand it if they don't allready do it. Chase the pump baby!!! Slinger | ||

Well everyone has different goals and approaches. Theres a lot of people who lift to look better for women and to get more attention from women. Thats their choice, theirs really nothing wrong with it. We all want a better body | ||

Lifting is a way of life. If I don't do anything else that day but go to the gym, I feel like I've accomplished something. I feel like something is missing if I don't make to the gym one day. Getting the blood flowing and that pump kickin' is a very addictive feeling. | ||
