(I'm talking about pure body building, not exercising to be healthy or atheletic)

I do it for a few reasons..
-I LOVE the feel of finishing that last rep that you didnt think you could do, its kinda like a runners high but from lifting.
-Yes, girls like a guy who is cut... not to mention being able to wear t-shirts, polos, and basketball jerseys without looking like a preadolencent boy in the arms and chest.
-I dont play sports year round, only intramurals in the fall and winter so it definitly helps keep me in shape.
-In daily life its nice to be able to lift things you otherwise would struggle with.
