    I just love to do it. And seeing how far I can push myself is a nice bonus.

    I would have to say without doubt, all the above! Can change and sway a bit depending on life circumstances. I also like that its the one area of my life I have complete an utter control of. Economy can affect your job, Women can break ya heart, people can die, all kinds of bad things can happen in life. but the condition of your body....is COMPLETELY in your hands. Its the one thing i truly control.
    but you left out the nice feeling when a chick you like digs your bod!:bruce3:

    Got to say I agree with Ozzy on the controlling your body. I as a firefighter can't imagine the day when a fire happens and someone is trapped inside and I'm not able to get them out because my ass is out of shape. I can't even start to imagine the guilt I'd have.

    And isnt it great to know thats in your hands! you control your shape, and a kilo (or pound) will always be a kilo (or a pound). the weights will never lie to you. BTW, great gladiator comment Mate, LOVE that movie. what an awesome Aussie actor too. lol

    And again....Im going to Alabama! yeeew

    Good catch...not too many people know what the quote is from. I get a chill down my spine everytime I watch the movie and hear him say that.

    And love the "the weights never lie" Cause to me, they don't make themselves lighter just to make you feel better, they are what they are, and if you can't lift them it just means you need to try harder.

    My fait is in my hands...it is up to me to determine my end game.
