Current Events > Why do you work out?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why do you do this thing we call working out? Why lift weights or run? What's your main motivator?


And if you don't work out, why not?

I'll never look like a 1980's action hero but I just want to be as strong as I personally can be. If I compare my current fitness level to me at any point in the past I'd be happy just to know that I could beat earlier versions of me in a test of strength. It has nothing to do with anyone else or with the way I look.

Hot chicas love my muscles

Health reasons

Look aesthetically pleasing to the hoes, be healthy, be strong all in equal parts

I've always wanted to understand why strength matters if someone isn't interested in their look. What advantage does strength have? Unless you are a professional mover.

God I can't disagree. Seeing girls looking at you from across the room is an incredibly nice feeling.

To keep my heart healthy.

I want to be aesthetically pleasing to girls
(im 30 virgin)

To be as healthy as possible

(my "good cholestral" is bad).



basically the thing I hate the most about myself is that my bones in my limbs are like twigs,
even working out has little effect. also you cant change the size of wrists :(

I think it's like if you feel powerful you're more likely to take the fight in fight or flight situations, so you feel more ready and able to take on the world.

Health, makes me feel good, and makes me attractive

Oh yes you can, I trained for a year in armwrestling and my wrist is an inch thicker than before I started. The tendons are thicker and Ive kept most of the size in my forearms, the only downside is the distance I can throw a baseball or football has halved

Little bit of everything in personal priority order for myself.

I want to work out to get in shape

Then do it to be pleasing to the ladies

Then do it to feel good

Then eventually do it for strength.

Why do you work out?

So I get callbacks, differentiate myself as a buff dude compared to the waves of noodle armed gay twinks, and my big ass actually has horsepower. Like I'm not even that cut, just thick at 6'2" 220lbs and it's enough to get a lot of attention from smaller guys. I just wear a tight shirt and a guy will offer to buy me a drink. You don't have to look like prime Schwarzenegger. Just be big like a bear and a couple fanboys will buzz around you.

The stand & carry is also one of my favorite sex positions because I can actually hold another guy up without strain now. Gets smaller guys off like crazy too. Although despite being brawny myself, I still prefer short gym rats who are more stacked than I am. I like their proportions and aggressive foreplay. It's like getting fucked by a wolverine. <3

Last year, I finally got to have sex with this chick I wanted for a long time. It was in the shower. I went for the move you described, and simply fell (she was like 5'2, 110 lbs). It was embarrassing as hell. We never did it again.

Now I packed all this muscle, and my desire for picking them up during sex was actually one of my motivations. Thanks for bringing that up.

I want to be aesthetically pleasing to girls
I want to simply lose weight
To be as healthy as possible
Simply for myself, makes me feel good

All of those reasons
---

I've only been working out for a bit.

I'm on my fourth week, I have not been motivated at all. Im only going out of discipline.
I hope I can stick with it
---

Literally just for chicks.

Get a decent shower mat.

how old were you when this happened?
most answers on the internet says you cant increase the wrist size since there is very little or no fat/skin there.

I'm just sick of looking like shit. I started gaining weight in high school. I'm not massive, but due to not having a lot of muscles, I have a higher body fat percentage.

I did lose weight a few year ago, but without the knowledge of needing muscle to look better, I still looked like shit. I once again, gained more weight.

I lost weight again, was lifting weights, but wanted to put on some more muscle and decided to gain some weight. I have put on some muscle, but have more fat than I planned. I'm actually cutting now, and with the knowledge I have now I plan on losing till my love handles have gone and my stomach is flatter. I will than do a slow bulk.

Both for the ladies and because I want myself to look good, also I don't like being not in good shape because it means I suck at handling certain real world situations

this. and ... I don't ever wanna lose a fight by being too twinky.

assaults on gay guys are a frequent thing here too so

Ultimately, because it makes me feel good to be in shape and the regular discipline of it makes me stay focused.

Looking aesthetically pleasing is a bonus, but i worked out before I met my wife and I still work out today whilst happily married.

I was around 27 when I started, all the tendons from my forearms to my hands have permanently thickened.

You had the right idea, just wrong room. So much crazy shit can happen in bathrooms. For some stupid reason shower sex is like a common fantasy with newbie gay guys and it always eventually ends in at least one horrible accident no matter the couple you talk to. One of my guys needed stitches just because he wanted to fuck in a tub and while stepping out he slipped and his back landed across the sharp facet. He had to get stitches for the gash and still has a scar. He tells people he took a knife jab shielding a friend from a mugger. So far she's gone along with it to shut him up and get him laid lmao.

I don't workouy

When I start it'll be solely to appeal more to women, I don't give a shit about my own health
---

An improved self gives an improved mind.

If I feel stronger, so does my mind.

The stronger the mind, the stronger my resolve.

And with that, I accomplish more each day.

A domino effect of mental fortifications.
---

Personal health, vanity, enjoyment and the ability to criticize those who don't I guess.
---

Really a combination. I can't deny that I feel better and once I workout (even one rep of five, free weights) gets you going. I exercise to get sun, too. Yes, I do want to remain aesthetically pleasing.
