I was just reading one of Ian King’s articles, and something occured to me that should have occured to me a long time ago: people weight lift for different reasons (eureka?..)
Personally, I’m going down the bodybuilding path so I look better for the girls (think Micah LaCerte).
What about you? Do you lift for sports conditioning,powerlifting, for the gals, for health, self-motivation?
I would hope lifting weights would give you more meat than the obese guy. Except for calves. Damn those obese people and their awesome calves.

1.I have always liked being strong. Lifting helps to make me stronger.
2.Sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps my head together.
3. I don’t like tail gaters or wreckless drivers. Last time I chased a guy down and terrorized him and his wife, I almost got arrested. Good thing the cop lifted too. We ended up shootin the shit about lifting and supps. When I told him that I was just all wound up from lifting, he understood, laughed it off and said he gets that way a lot too.
(thats why I used sometimes in #2)
The secret reason I started this thread was so that I might be re-assured that I wasn’t the only one lifting just to look good nekkid. Phew… I felt like a pansy not lifting purely for strength. Now I can officially start my powerlifter-bashing campaign. Although I do envy their ability to drink beer without worrying about their waist size. =/
Yet something about complaining that beer messes up my waistline just doesn’t sit well with my masculinity.
