    I started out lifting to get into better shape but as I am progressing it is just becoming part of what I do. Loving the higher energy a lot. Body is a work in progress and enjoying the journey.

    I started and now I can't stop. It's my me time. It's goal orientated. Gives me something to look forward to.

    Love getting a pump every workout. Hitting your max and improving on it. Throwing dumbbells and not giving a f**k. What a great feeling lifting is!

    I don't know how not to. I've stopped several times over the years. I always come back to it. It's just what I do.

    Because I'm a little piglet and the more muscle I have the more calories I can eat. :p

    initially because the loose skin I have from rapid weight loss scared the *kitten* out of me...so that would be vanity. Now I'm enjoying the feeling of getting stronger and all that goes with it.

    for me it's 50/50 between vanity and stress relief. I let out a lot of aggression in the gym, so it's like anger management

    Because my brother who is into bodybuilding used to tell me how weak I was while simultaneously grabbing my arms and shaking them like noodles.

    I lift mainly because I think muscles are sexy.... and don't ever want to return to being fat.
    In addition, to compete, my first show is this fall.

    Because I'm a fat guy who remembers being in shape and wants to get back there.

    1. I like the way defined muscles look on me.
    2. It gets the anger out without punching anyone.
    3. It's a great feeling of accomplishment to up my weights.
