Honestly, I was rejected by my 1st love..... and for some reason it got me wanting to do something instead of mope around. We had a crappy weight bench in the garage that was never used so I started with that and started making gains until the bench folded in half with the weight which forced me to join a gym. Then women came into the picture and it was all over... now some 20yrs later I started going back into the gym and am now hooked on it while trying to remember how to meal prep and manage family and work life...

Not sure, it just calls to me. I feel I can get a lot of aggression out and well, lifting heavy things is fun.
