Why do YOU lift?

[Kerpal]

All of the above and because I just enjoy doing it. Plus it gets some stress out, and helps me sleep better also.

First and foremost to gain respect. I want to be a bad ass mofo because I want to be respected by guys as equals. I don't like to be made fun of for my weight. I also don't get the proper respect from girls either. I also like to stay healthy too.

For good looks and knockout power. Take a 140lb boxer and train him for speed, agility, footwork, coordination, skill... then give him the size and strength of a light heavyweight. That's a BAAAAAD man.

Size and strength of a LHW at 140lb?

So, your inner CHI gives you a mighty 35lb edge when competing, but when walking amongst the mortals, you're a regular Kane?

My competing days ended when I bulked my first pound; when a fighter jumps many weight classes he's said to be "blown up" and is rarely better or even as good as he was at a lower weight.

At 140, Id spar with anyone who was available, including one hideous 210lb mofo who was as slow as maple syrup, but one clean shot could fly me back to Serbia free of charge. Think George Foreman post-comeback. Now as a bigger man its my turn to feast on these courageous punks

Do you mean the wrestler Kane? I cant see myself making past 200lbs at 6'0 in the next few years, even then Id still want no part of that 6'8 230lb (or whatever) monster. I couldnt possible compare myself to him.

One reason I will only reveal to the folks on this board:
To impress the people who always knew me as the skinny, nerdy guy.

That's pretty much it. Of course I don't mind the health benefits
