We all have our different reasons for lifting,.... For some it's the desire to chase a Pro card, for others it's the ladies, and for some it's the own personal satisfaction of competing in powerlifting competitions.
What is your drive to go bust your ass at the gym,.... eat every three hours,....and live a lifestyle many cannot?

For me it's because it is a challenge just to maintain the lifestyle whether i am bulking, cutting, or maintaining. I am married so its not the ladies although having a woman make the occasional comment is always welcomed. My wife doesn't like it and thinks I am too big. She wants a skinny underwear model but that aint happening.
I love having goals and shattering them. People that don't live like this definitely don't understand. I even had a coworker ask me why I was doing this? Like I was crazy. As I've gotten older I am even more focused on getting bigger. ALthough its more difficult approaching 40 than it was when I was 25. So maybe its a little bit of not wanting to be old and frail one day too.
I was bit by the iron bug even before I could walk. I love this lifestyle and achieving goals that not everyone else can. I couldn't picture my life any other way and plan on doing this til I'm buried in a piano crate.

I just enjoy going to the gym +hitting the Iron + pumping up my muscles + watching them grow - @ 42+Married their is no chasing a pro card or Ladies so I really just do it for myself.
It's something that I have been around since I was a kid. A good friend of my mom has a son that that used to compete at the local level. I went to my first body building comp when I was 12 and I was hooked, I begged my parents for a weight set. I got to meet Lou Ferigno when I was13, the Hulk TV show was huge at the time. But the real reason I lift is because I enjoy it. When I'm at the gym it's the only thing on my mind and thats priceless as far as I'm concerned.
For the chicks of course
And I always feel better after hitting the weights.
Personal pride in my accomplishments. Cant be bought, cant be handed down from someone else.
Im the sole judge and jury. No excuses, and nowhere to hide. Me versus any limitations I bring with myself.
For me, my motivation has evolved as my life has changed:
I started lifting at age 15. I weighed under 100lbs and wanted to be bigger for the ladies. As I got stonger and bigger I became more involved in sports and got more attention from the ladies.
In college I was on an athletic scholarship and I lifted to improve in my sport and to assist me as I waged a sexual war on the female population.
Since college, lifting has been a place where I can go mentally relieve stress and because I've lifted for so long, the confidence I get from staying strong and staying in shape has become part of me. Plus, by staying active I can eat the things I want without fear of getting fat. Lifting and cardio have become addictive habits that I'm glad to have.
