The funny thing about me, everytime I feel I am getting bigger, I'm happy, until I ask myself, why did I decide to do this. I think for a minute, was it to look good for girls........could be. I think, I feel I got bigger because it makes me feel better about myself, tougher, compared with other people, better than others, sort of for power so I can impress and show to other people when I hang out. I think, is that a good a reason, for personal triumph to workout? Shouldn't my reason for working be to look good and sexy for girls? Whats your reason?

To look better, to maintain a healthy lifestyle by lifting weights and including cardio at times, to be stronger, and to be a bit more intimidating to others, only because one of the careers I'm considering is a professional bodyguard. I figure some intimidation factor can't hurt in the least.

I sent you an e-mail; it should be labeled from me, Dave Bell. Hope it helps.

To carry my 120 pound lady under my arm without difficulty and to look good, I don't want to be that slim/slender (stick figure) guy anymore!

well
interesting question (very little sarcasm)
a hobbie really, to occupy my time
some people like to be lazy
some people like to play other sports
some people like to dress up as eminem and cuss @ lil children
but the truly enlightened bodybuild or powerlift cos it teaches
1) patience
2) self worth
3) healthy lifestyle (in most cases)Now All We Need Is A little Energon And A Lot of Luck

I've had a good baseball career that ended up in Double A and because of the effort I put into that I have numerous old injuries. Weightlifting allows me to still challenge myself and strengthen those old injury areas.

I was/am skinny. I used to be REALLY skinny(like i was always trying to break above 120lbs and i'm 6'1!!), weightlifting makes me feel better about myself, and allows me to become healthier and able to live life without feelin like everyone i pass on the street can kick my ass.
it feels good, it looks good
its just great
and i'm happy this is hte first day of the rest of my life(girls are only percs)
thanks

But when i finally became more hardworking < i found out that there was more then just training for that sport , there was the whole idea of getting bigger and better then everyone else..

for me, its purely narcisstic reasons, since i do not have any natural talent for sports of any kind.
There are no good and bad; no right and wrong. There were effective actions and ineffective actions, socially acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, wise and stupid decisions to be made. But if you wanted to achieve maximum sefl-realisation, you had to understand that any choice you made was entirely value neutral. Morality was a primitive concept, useful in earlier stages of societal evolution, perhaps, but without relevance in the modern age.

What skinny guy doesnt want to get big?(ok..there are some.) There are two kinds of skinny people the one's that are contempt with their small frame and the one's who can't stand it. I was the latter.
A few bodybuilding stats
Height 5'10
Weight Somewhere between 195-200lbs(cutting down from 218lbs)
(Measurements cold)
Arms 16.5
Calves 16.5
Quads 27
Penis 19.8(pumped,hard and vascular!)

To always be the biggest for my age. I love when people call me "Big guy". It also beats being skinny.

Do you train with any indy feds?
I train with an indy fed in Australia and just recently had my first match, and I figure if you don't posses the skill to be a pro wrestler, at least look like one! ( It works for Steiner, Helmsly, Test, Hogan, Undertaker etc. )

I hear you on that dude. I want to be a straight up freak. I already competed in my first show and won but I want to continue to win. Being able to weigh 220 at 16 years old with good cuts is what drives me to keep lifting.U.S. Soldier
