Why Lift?
Here is a question. Why do we try to improve our bodies? who are we trying to impress? My partner says he doesnt need to impress anyone. Its true, but really. Don’t we want that guy/girl next to us to say "Shyt, that looks heavy!" or "Forget that, im not going to mess with him/her" its an Ego probablem that some of us have. We want to be the strongest in the gym or even the biggest. So, we push ourselves at the weights. Like yesterday.. I was benching 315 lbs. and i did 7 reps with no spotter. yeah, i felt good but really, i should have pushed myself more… by going up to 355 lbs. doing 2-3 reps. i have a kinda goal to hit 400 lbs. just once. Come on do you really think that i am really going to stop.. naw! because then, i want 425 lbs…. Im not young, thats for sure and i question myself lately on the amount of weight i strive to lift. i dont know if i ever will hit that 400 lb bench press but I do know that I want to look like i can. lol i guess its all about the looks… for me at least. people think i played football in high school.. lmao! nope… i weighed in at 150 lbs. coming into basic. then slowly gained forty pounds. next thing i know is i am weighing 240 lbs. and looking fat from the face cuz thats where i think i carry it the most. "chubby cheeks!" its okay because as long as i know if i get mad enough, i will just pick something up and throw it. kinda like the hulk does… i great imagination huh? lol well, hope i didnt bore with this. Im outta here.. i have the gym to start to prepare for!
"if your not lifting heavy, then go take a shower and eat bon-bons!" they are good you know…!

Dude, you have to lift because your kid is somewhere saying my Dad can beat up your Dad, and you have to represent. And all of his friends are wishing their Dad was a big as you. LOL
