Why do you work out at the gym?

[00Kevin]

I've noticed that since my AFC days my reasons for working out at the gym have drastically changed. When you work out you should ask yourself what is motivating you? When you can't lift that last rep what goes through your head?

The answer you come up with will tell you if you are true DJ or not.

When i do that last impossible rep, I feel the weight of the world behind it and I visualize it as a symbol of the strugle that a man must constantly endure.

My principal reason, I think, is so I like myself even more. Not girls, looks are sh*t once you are looking for a LTR, or significant sex.
Then, to be healthy (including the anti-depression stuff that comes naturally as a result of testosterone boost).

Oh, and its not for myself to feel strong. Though thats the closest answer.
Ah, and by liking myself more, I enjoy being healthy, so... its just one answer.

well that is good. I can remember when i used to work out just to look good. I would get comments and second looks from girls all the time in college. But i can tell you that it didn't do jack **** for me. Working out to look good for girls is a false notion. When it fails to give you what you want you will find that you no longer have any motivation.

My motivation for working out now is solid it will never fail me no matter what happens in my life.

I think that any guy that works out to look good for girls is a ****en looser. I did that once and honesly you are sooo damn ***** whiped it isn't funny.

To be strong, and to enjoy the pleasureful pain (unless the pain is INJURY pain of course, lol)

You can tell why people go to the gym just by looking at the exercises they do...


-People concerned with strength and power will be doing squats and deadlifts

-Insecure people concerned with there looks will be doing curls and tricep extensions. These curl jockeys do these exercises so that they will feel big and strong... when in reality the people doing the squats and deadlifts are big and strong.

wheelin&dealin,

What philosophy class did you take? Your logic takes us to the following: If someone does curls and tricep extensions, then they are insecure. You can judge someones personality traits through analyzing their workout? BULLSHYT!

Also,
"These curl jockeys do these exercises so that they will feel big and strong..."

Do you really think you know someone elses motives through their exercise routine? Are you that ignorant?

"when in reality the people doing the squats and deadlifts are big and strong."

Again: If someone does squats and deadlifts, then they are big and strong. Are you for real?


Please, people (IMO high school students and you younger guys), lets try to give good advice and stop touting your OPINIONS as FACTS!

CB -out

wheelin this makes no sense...

sure, there are lots of poseurs out there who solely do isolation exercises and then shyt in the pants when i tell them to squat.
BUT i cant see any correlation with a persons insecurity and his exercise regiment. perhaps the person doesnt know the benefits of compound exercises.
