it seems to me a lot of people just go through the motions. hit the gym a few times a week, month after month, year after year.
how come you dont do more than that? why dont you do arm wrestling, rock climbing, strongman, power lifting, mma, boxing, gymnastics, doing a show etc ?
isnt it boring to have no goals ? and not put any of all that strength gain to practical use ? most beginner should be able to reach their muscular mass max within a few years of training... then what?

its kinda like working your ass off for endurance then never testing it, if i hit the bike at the gym all day for years i would want to try riding an actual bike after a while you know.

Some people train because they love it.  It makes them feel good and the exercise helps prolong your lifespan.  In that regard, it's very practical.

how are you supposed to go rock climing if you trained legs, back or even arms? Dunno, training hard wipes me the hell out after and just don't care to do anything else. Posting here is almost a full time job as is, let's not get too crazy now...

My friend is into rock climbing. My other friend is a dancer. I know some amazing power lifters, and I hope I'll do a show one day... I've seen quite a few people without goals in a gym! At least, they don't stay there for long.

Quick!!! Post vids of dance routine, must see this as motivation before I train today to know there is something fun outside the gym I could do...

I just love being a bad ass which is what lifting weights automatically makes me. And I also love looking great.
