What do you get out of bb'ing ??

[buffgrk]

Im quite curious, serious posts only.. i think it would be good to see what everyone gets out of it, or a reason they like it..

I like it because i love seeing my body transform, i like looking good, and i like being healthy.. and people seem to like you more when you got muscles lolol

[chr1s89]

confidence and health for me.

plus u love me more when im training don't you jim

Mostly sore

I made a renewed push Jan 1st because I started to notice that I was really slipping again after losing 30 pounds for a vacation to Hawaii a couple years ago. Had promised myself I wouldn't again. So it was a pride thing to some degree.

But my biggest drivers were turning 40 and my wife & kids. Want to stick around as long as I can so it's about just making a commitment to stay healthy and take better care of myself.

it's helped tremendously in the self-esteem department. looking in the mirror and seeing muscles instead of a bleached skeleton is just awesome. and of course, the satisfaction of "problem-solving" your weak points, the development of a good work ethic, getting the feeling that you're doing something other people aren't.

i don't know if being noticed more often and feeling more respected is just happening in my imagination, or if it's a result of the muscles or the improved self-image, but it too is pure awesomeness.

buffgrk, i'm diggin the leonidas beard (need i say it? well just in case...no homo)

[buffgrk]

lol @ beard comment haha, yeah the chicks love it, good replies its good that people have something they want and drive for it, i was fat when i started bodybuilding i never used to get any looks from females what so ever, as soon as i cut down and the abs came out it was like i was a different person?, sad world in a way.

[Olympique]

I love the knowledge and discipline I've gotten from it. Hopefully in years to come I'll also enjoy great health and a decent looking body.




































And poon.

Getting the pumped feeling is like nothing i've felt before , the healthier lifestyle and overall better feeling is great . The compliments peolpe give you really make you feel more confident about yourself and is a great moral boost.This something i'm in for the long run.Its all or nothing for me.

[R_Bid]

health reasons, and i love to challenge myself.

aaaannnndddd... i like the response i get from my wife

[Iron Rain]

Enjoying being in better shape. I've lost 100 pounds since my fat days, and am far stronger and more muscular now than I was back then.

The confidence I have gained from pushing myself with the iron I can not put into words. To put it simply, I am a different person now

[Nick1971]

I am too out of shape, so I want to do some weight training to get stronger. I'd like to look a little better, too.

[spirit3530]

Think you nailed it there.

[DJAuto]

Progression and confidence.

[Turco]

I'm addicted to it. Can't quit...


I look better bigger (no bigorexia)

[NT_Hammer]

the pump, having big muscles (the transformation), HUGE self-confidence booster (fav part), and being healthy

the feeling that u get in your muscles and body after you just pounded your body at the gym is just too awesome to give up.

[entropy1]

[de_barathrum]

i got that i have to work insanely hard to yield mediocore results. its a good life lesson.

[bonvec01]

It makes the baseball go far.



Plus lifting is fun as hell. I think that's why there's so much overtraining. We love lifting, so we wanna do it all day, every day!

[Bnk]

Keeps me young, I will be 40 in a couple of months and still feel like I did at 18. Sets a good example for my kids and allows me to be as active as they are. And then of course there are the vanity reasons, but those have become secondary at this point.

good work mate, im planning to train for as long as i can!

[NioRaman]

Well not to get too personal. Not only is it a promise to myself, but it's like getting high for me. The feeling when I've worked out so well that my arms are on fire, and I feel tired after the gym. It's a great feeling.

[SquatDeadPress]

Being and feeling strong. Pushing my body to it's limits. Being healthy. Looking Good. And as someone in this thread put it best... poon.

[Antz1980]

I love lifting iron! Feels great when you get a massive pump through your chest, or smash the living sh!t out of your arms that can't even change your shirt after the workout....

[spitfiredealer]

I get confidence and self esteem from lifting that i never had from anything else.
