I got started because I was at a depressing point in my life and wasn't really doing anything at the time, so I began going to the gym to get out of the house and take my mind off of my problems and after I got into it, I couldn't stay away. I was also away from home for a long time and I wanted to come back looking different that the way I had left. I was also tired of being a weak skinny kid. I also thought I would get more attention from girls too. Oh hell, I have many reasons....that's just to name a few....
I love it b/c it is fun. I love going to the gym and being able to lift more weight than I could have the last week. I like getting bigger, and bigger each month. I like the pump you get after working out too, it's great. You look great, you feel great! You're healthier! You look young longer. Women love it the look. What's not to love? It's just overall fun!
