Look different than everyone else around me.

I'm realistic about my physique. I don't compete, nor do I model so I just try to look the best I can in my eyes. I like feeling healthy and able instead of fat and winded. Whenever I see results from training, an ECA regimen or whatever, its an incredible boost to me mentally as well as physically.

i try to be more of a bodybuilder.
i put to look different than everyone else.

i guess honestly it would be to look `good`. to have the `look`.

i got serious about resistance training for physical rehabilitation, but began to love the endorphin and adrenaline high that comes with pushing the body beyond normal physical limits, and looking better than the average fat bastard is just the icing on the cake.

I picked to look different. I do it because I guess I like it and it fills my day. I dont know what else I would do without it..lol...I think my main driver is definetly vanity though

Why do people practice martial arts, yoga, meditation....that would be a better explanation for me.Yea, the stress relief, the muscles, to be strong, but I get a sense of peace when lifting...mind body thing.

Many reasons here... I am an insecure guy....I was beat by my step father as a kid and I think it's part of my way of dealing with that, and making sure I can stand my own ground with others.

Like TenMan I like to be different if I did not weight train I would more than likely be covered in tatts...I have always strived to be different.

Actually most females I know do not like big guys. The girl I'm with now did not really care for it at first, but now she loves it. She understands the hard work that goes into it and she respects the shit out of that. Hell she was looking at cutler the other day and said "Baby he is sexy...why don't you get that big....LMAO"
