Your freak friend may be doing more harm than good metabolically. Why are you also referring to your friend as 'fit'? Your response is invalid if it's related to hypertrophic training.

Hypertrophic training does make you fitter, particularly if you limit the amount of rest between sets. 1 minute rest between sets and if you're working hard enough you'll be knackered by the end of your workout.

- More productive as a result.

Being an aesthetic god, and feeling super-human compared to non-lifters.

Sort of serious.... :biggrin:

So I can ascend Mount Olympus and take my seat in the hall of the gods.

I see how much Cucumber lifts and think... If an average guy like that, can lift such decent weight, then so can i! :tongue:

Cucumber is pretty broken for a young man and is therefore inspirational in testing times.

I want to be part of #teamcucumber and one day will bench 45kg DBs for 5 reps.

I cycle to work, since is faster than walking. Money is a good motivator too.

My fitness freak friend is one of the reasons I stay healthy. I remember when we had lunch together once and we ordered the same thing. He asked if I wanted his tomatoes, because he doesn't want the sugar! His body fat is always about 7-8% during summer time and like 12% during the winter time. He only cheats two-three times a year, so he eats the same things every other day in the year. I remember when I slapped his right tricep once and it felt like slapping a rock. He's very stringent with his diet.

Another reason for me to stay healthy, is because I don't want to disrespect the donor of the kidney.

Yeah I'm the same for my BM donor. I'm determined to remain healthy

However refusing a tomato on sugar grounds isn't a healthy relationship with food

Partly for health.
Partly for fitness goals (as fit as somebody who wished to join the armed forces, i also want to lift my own bodyweight).
Partly because having still being skinny even a decade ago i remember how attractive i was and the success i had with women - an element of restoring my former glory
Partly because i'm an egotist who views life as something to be conquered by my own will.

It was touch and go there for a few years but it would seem right now that the war has turned in my favour.

My health! That's actually my biggest motivation. Every step I take I think of it as getting me closer to a healthy body. It is the best medicine for the mind ad body and the only side effects are a smoking hot body.

To force endorphins to travel across axon terminals and keeps me thinking forward during the day lol. Also provides control for me during a period of my life (studying) when I have little and that keeps me going :smile:

Once I get into it I feel really good, knowing that it's healthy and I'll feel so happy about myself afterwards. Especially when you see gradual differences in the areas you work on, it adds to your confidence...like working towards something and it being worthwhile.

I picked a sport I enjoy so I don't need to force myself.

Once you're used to exercising you feel worse NOT doing it so now my body is used to 4+ work outs a week I feel like **** if I take a week off, so I don't.

I like to eat and I also like not being overweight. So lots of exercise helps out there.
