Who motivated you to get into lifting?

eah that's really all I give a **** about. I honestly hate working out/watching how much I eat. I only do it so I can eventually get laid. Couldn't care less about the health benefits.

It's the reason why I haven't stopped partying even though alcohol is bad calorie wise. If I'm not using every chance I get to go out and socialize then what's the point of working out?

Honestly a bullying incident when I was 7 years old got me into strength and muscle. I throughout school wanted to be that guy who nobody would beat up or bully. Also that guy to protect my friends, brothers or people I cared about. I wanted to be the strongest and thought I was even the strongest though I was a weak and scrawny child who couldn't overpower yet alone shoulder press an adult. I did pick up my camp counselors as a nine year old thinking I was strong. I was generally bigger and stronger than kids growing up size wise. Not because I was a giant it's because many people were average sized or small or pretty fat with a few tall. I also knew especially getting older that the first opportunity I had to lift weights and get as strong as humanely possible and build muscle I would do so. I just thought possessing some sort of power especially pseudo superhuman power or even knowledge was great and a blessing and privilege. It was also used for protection and a suit of armor so nobody would harm you and people would treat you with respect. I was stocky as a kid and leaned out and got tall and skinny in middle school. Then after freshman year of high school puberty made me heavier but I was still very weak being out lifted by 150lb wide receivers weighing 200lbs.
