I had very high BF% (~23%), and still do. I decided I needed changes in my life and a couple of my college friends took me to the gym to help me get started. Went 5-6 days a week for about 8 months til I broke my hand. That led to me being sedentary again, tsk tsk... I am back at it, and don't plan on stopping.....ever.

It feels great to make progress towards a goal. It feels good knowing that there is no instant satisfaction and that it takes a lot of time and effort on a continual basis to achieve things, bodybuilding or not.

It helps with confidence toward life, women, other people, etc... It also is a great escape and stress relief. It's fuarking awesome.
