Why do you bodybuild?

[Saladino22]

Just want to know why you guys bodybuild.

For me it's to look good and feel good. Used to be for the women but now that I realize it's an everyday thing for me and I just enjoy doing it.

Used to be to look good.
Became for strength for a bit.
Now it is because:
I love seeing gains either mass or strength.
Releases stress.
Enjoy it. <- important.

I look forward to my deadlifts all day.

First of all it's to feel good. You simply can't feel good if you don't feel good about your body. Not going to the gym is such a disappointment for me, makes me feel horrible. Secondly it's to pull the bishes.

Competition + aesthetics + lifting is fun.

It's fun I like getting girls to work out with me as well.

Working out is fun. I love the power rush i get. But the best thing is seeing the gains you make and feeling better and better about yourself. I used to be pretty skinny (not the worst, but still not big), but when you start feeling good about your body it does wonders. Would never go back. In fact, i wish i would have started earlier without a doubt. Now i need to figure out a way to get my 10 yearold brother into working out so when he reaches my age he'll be years ahead of where i am now :P

I also admit that i do it for the girls. But what guy doesnt want to look good for them? Lol Nothing beats a cute girl saying "hey, you look strong, can you help me?".

Good to stay fit when not playing a sport, get stronger, feel good, aesthetics.

[Christaras9]

Look good,be fit and strong and mostly endorphins.

[rasse226]

I want to become Strong(er)

[musclehead09]

i used to be known as that skinny kid. Now I'm known as Diesel lol. Feels good and lifting weights is a better feeling than almost anything

[RunnerandLifter]

I am training to actually compete in competitions so for that aesthetics...feels good I love the pump I love being sore..and the littlest reason is for girls its just a perk in my opinion..

[gtslmfao]

Cuz i gotta get huge

[DIONMAC]

to prove I'm somebody!

[DannyLake]

To push myself to the limit. I don't compete in any sports teams or athletics because Im bad at most sports. Theres never a situation in my everyday life where I have to run as fast as I possibly have to or dig deep to find strength in excruciation, so thats why I go.

Secondly its self concious. I didn't like my skinny physique. I felt like a little bitch and I could never hold my own if I had **** with someone. Now nobody ****s with a 6"2 black guy.

Next, the compliments. Even though Im skinny and dont have that much muscle mass, I have a low body fat and appear in good shape to my unaesthetic friends . All it takes is one legit compliment to make someones day.

And finally and admittedly I feel 300% more confident around women.
