Why Does Everyone Bodybuild?

tom84 · 21-11-2004, 02:39 AM

Just as the title suggests.

Obviously being a bodybuilder myself im not asking this question implying bodybuilding is pointless, far from it. (I ****ing hate when my mates who don't train ask me why i bother) Me and my mate Nick (Nick 500) from the site were talking about this when we were training the other day. Made me stop and think why do I actually bodybuild. Couldnt think of any other reasons other than we must all be insecure and want to improve self confidence, and enjoying training.
Thought it would be really interesting to see what everyones reasons for training are seen as we all place so much emphasis on bodybuilding and base a hell of a lot of our lives and time around it seems like for all the effort we all put in we should have a pretty good reason hey? Will be interesting to see what everyone thinks.

I started to rebuild muscle that I had lost but continued it to where I am today. It has helped me with my state of mind, I used to be a real stress head and lose my temper too quick. Bodybuilding has given me a release for this.

I also enjoy the "pain" of reaching muscle failure.

Alot of our lives are based around it but this is not unusual. Many people base their lives around their own lifestyles such as drinking, sports, clubbing. Its just our choice is bodybuilding.

Yeah, I Have to agree with GYMWEAR, I think muscular bodys look good

Also becasue I'm a skinny twig and dont like it!

tom84 · 21-11-2004, 11:29 PM

yeah jack I wonder, and zx wasn't implying its a bad thing that we spend so much time bodybuilding its a hell of alot more constructive than most other shit we could be doin, plus alot more rewarding things that take time and effort always give u more satisfaction. Stick at it Benji u wont stay that way for much longer mate. So were all just a bunch of vain mutha ****ers great isnt it. On that note wil b posting pics in a few days so just keep my fragile ego in mind with responses lol. Cheers guys

yeah I definitely work out for the results it brings and the self confidence it builds. Training is also something I do for me. It's nice that people notice and all, but it's me that I see in the mirror every morning and it's me that I want to see BIGGER in that mirror every morning.
