Post by: Tapeworm on February 23, 2009, 06:32:35 PM: Because I'm a genetic wimp (the only non-gifted man on Getbig), and it feels good to try to overcome both that and age. Also, weightlifting is honest, immediate, and individual. You can move what you can move, no team effort, no the field was a little muddy today, and it's all about you - the progress and the motivation. Jeezus, I sound like an animal pak ad. Anyway, I'm reminded of what Rollins said with his "200lbs is always 200lbs" spiel.

"Conan, this... you can trust."

i grew up playing soccer and always prided myself on my athletic prowess and well defined physique, so after i stopped playing soccer working out was a way for me to never not feel capable... much like your sentiments expressed earlier 'mars'...

Title: Re: why do you work out
Post by: just_a_pilgrim on February 24, 2009, 01:52:32 PM: I always wanted to and a guy at my work (ok it was Macas but i was 16) trained and had a great body. He sold his membership to another guy there and i started training with him. I had a lot of energy and loved doing it, at that point i had no idea what i wanted to do in life or anything that at least gave me an outlet to do something positive.

As for now i like to look different. I stay very lean but hold the muscle from years of training and you rarely see anyone who looks like that, not even in the better gyms. Training in the gym isn't really as fun anymore but i do it and get out or train with a training partner and crack jokes, after years i know what to do so i just do it and go and not fuck around in there.

Post by: Karl Kox on February 24, 2009, 04:58:03 PM: I always worked out in High School I was a wrestler. I always wanted to get bigger but never could.
Years later I was doing security at the 2004 Nationals I was sitting out in the lobby and I saw this dude with the huge fucking legs. I started buying all the muscle mags and reading every thing that I could learn. I put on a 30 pounds in 2 years. The guy was Dave Palumbo.

Post by: kiwiol on February 25, 2009, 09:48:01 AM: I have a small penis and a massive inferiority complex. Plus I got sand kicked in my face when I was a kid. So it came down to either getting myself a Hummer or working out to get big. I couldn't afford the Hummer, so here I am 8)
