... This whole "the girls love muscles" thing isn't sh*t for motivation. Theres got to be something deeper in you. I'm getting my ass up at 5:30am 4 days a week for my entire summer, just so I can bulk up and make my senior year of football, the best I've ever had. I'm tired of being good, strong, but small. I'm tired of always being tired. I want to go out and knock the f*ck out of kids. So I lift. I lift to get bigger. I lift to get stronger. I lift to get faster. I lift to FEEL better. The asthetic quality of my muscle gains will just be an added bonus, not my goal.

All of those reasons are for me. I don't give a damn about anybody else. I don't care what they want, I am doing what I want to do, and nothing more.

as above.

And the reasons help too. And I was considering the other reason too

6. Feeling Good About Yourself.

We all know that you don't look much different after one week of working out. Isn't it weird though that you suddenly find yourself flexing in the mirror a lot more often?

You walk around just feeling better looking even if you haven't changed at all yet. This self confidence can extend itself to other parts of your life and make you an overall more successful person.

Wow, I don't feel this is a shallow reason at all. What is shallow about taking pride in your own achievements?

Pumping iron to impress chicks is delusional thinking. I would venture to say that most women just don't give a hoot about massive muscles. In fact, with many, it is a source of sarcastic amusement. That said, I don't care. I lift for #1...me.

Here's a shallow reason:

I'm a fat bastard.

One incentive I have is that for every 15 pounds of flab I lose I gain 1/2 to 3/4 inch on my ding-a-ling.

I'll lose about a century before I'm happy which will give me something to dangle.

Oh god !

Shallow? Why do ya think 99% of people start lifting?

Works for me
