Gagers , do you lift weights to get a nice body or to get strong? Which one is your main point?

[Maximilian619]

My main point used to be a good aesthetic body , but after that my mood changed and i want bulking my body to stay strong.

[ElissaDido]

I stopped lifting a few months ago, but when I did it it was to:
- Improve my metabolism to increase fat burning
- Obviously look better and more toned
- Be physically stronger, specially have stronger arms. I always wanted to do the headstand and handstand without needing a wall but i couldn't because of my super weak arms, I always need a wall to do it ><
I'm super happy a new gym just opened next to my house and I'm starting again yay <3

[Maximilian619]

Nice , have a cool life in gym 👍

[Razzle-Dazzle]

To be more shapely and have a firm body.. I can target specific muscles with weights. I also do cario for more stamina and to keep my body fat reduced

[Maximilian619]

What about strength, do you will to get stronger physically by training?

[Razzle-Dazzle]

To be honest , i wish i had more strength in my arms :( My legs are powerful, an strong but my arms are quite weak. I need to work on my strength , so i would appreciate any tips though

[Razzle-Dazzle]

and*

[Maximilian619]

Train them more often but also give them rest, your arms should not be trained more than two days a week, also get enough carbs and proteins from natural sources

[Razzle-Dazzle]

Thanks ! I appreciate that. I will do that !! :)

[Maximilian619]

Your welcome.

[SmokemJay]

I look for both. Strength is important as a man no matter where you work. Weights and testosterone keep men acting like men.
We have all these neck beards online complaining, "Woah was me no one wants to date me because women only want rich/attractive men."
My response is ALWAYS hit some weights get that testosterone up and feel better about your self...

[Maximilian619]

Yeah , but to me , strength training , boosting testosterone levels are more important than attracting women if we are happy in our skin.

[SmokemJay]

TRUE VERY TRUE!!!
My man I wish I thought the same way as you do now, when I was 17. I honestly can't praise you enough for your knowledge. I just wish I kept weight lifting in HS.

[Maximilian619]

Thanks a lot bro.

[Theodorable]

I lift weights a few times a week. I'm always bulking because I'm thin by nature.

I don't work out for aesthetic. I workout in case I ever get into a fight I'll be able to fuck the other dude up.

[Maximilian619]

Good dude 👍

[TuMeManques]

My main focus is strength and emotional support. If I was just concerned about the body I would do a lot more cardio and lose some weight.

[Maximilian619]

Good :)

[Chico_brah]

I can't stand people who lift weights. It's an insecurity.

[Maximilian619]

Dude weren't you the Fearless Banana? 😄

[TuMeManques]

I have a whole lot of insecurities then lol

[SmokemJay]

@TuMeManques
Im right there with you...

[TuMeManques]

@SmokemJay awesome. 💪

[Chico_brah]

You two are insecure.

[Chico_brah]

Whos banana lmaoo

[TuMeManques]

You saying that makes me want to go lift heavier weight

[SmokemJay]

@TuMeManques
LMFAOOO!!!

[Saoirse_Nua]

Cardio and fitness for me mainly for physical look. Spiritually to @TuMeManques intriguing and excellent point, I try and keep a clear head, to be the best I can be for myself and others.

[TuMeManques]

Got my intriguing points in for the day 💪 alright! 😘

[fueledbythc]

Mine is always to gain strength and feel good. Looks are never a factor cause i got an ugly face.

[Maximilian619]

Nah dude you are not ugly.

[ThisDudeHere]

I just want to be more fit. That's it. I don't put more thought in to it.

[dpg91]

Being strong feels great but to be honest once I started seeing aesthetic results I was hooked.

[Anonymous]

To be strong so I win in fights.
As I've gotten a little older, I started including more cardio so I will have enough energy to do stuff the same as when I was young.

[Redstang88]

I focus on strength, but my reasons for lifting are definitely both.

[Omar5881]

Currently I don't lift weight because of time I do squash
Hmmm well to get strong and strong is sexy

[archiz]

Both
I need it to swim

[Maximilian619]

To swim in water?

[archiz]

up in the clouds?

[Maximilian619]

Yeah maybe 😅

[archiz]

[Asherz0]

To get a beast of a body and for confidence

[Ahrixxa]

I work out because I want to look damn good.

[Aweir]

[Maximilian619]
