My idea behind it is doing something that is hard and requires effort beyond the norm. Most people choose the easy way out and are lazy and weak. To choose to get off your ass and go to the gym to battle the weights takes a warrior like mentality. In reality it’s just something to get amped up on and get the test flowing.
If it offends you sorry. Are you a former or current true warrior? (side note, I did serve in the military and have been in a street fight or two in my younger days)

That’s how I feel about it. If you are military, cool, you may have a reason to be upset with it. If not, you are just bitching because someone else used a term to describe their effort. How is that possibly harming someone because they consider themselves a “warrior” in the weight room? Sometimes it may take that mentality for someone to competely change their habits and the way they look. The real question is, who are you to define someone else’s battles in life and how important they are to them?
Could a cancer patient be considered going to war by fighting the disease? Would that offend you?

yeah. they wage a war on cancer. they wage war against their own obesity. i get it. i think the original question was about these people - like yourself - who’ve not acheived much athletically speaking and now want to be ‘warriors’ because they are in the gym a few nights a week.
you know, guys who pose for pictures and shit because…well…i guess i don’t know why people do that. i never have. oh, i’ve had my photo in some magazines here and there with 400-some pounds over my fucking head. but never posed. in my little brother’s tank-top. kneeling in my backyard. standing in front of my mirror. and YOU are saying someone ELSE is full of shit? oh, man.
