    Was on a roll for 3 weeks but hit a motivation wall. Had an epiphany over the weekend of "why the hell do I even lift bro?"

    So. Why do you even lift bro?

    I lift because it is enjoyable, relieves stress, makes me stronger, and it looks better than fat.

    Lots of hot girls in the gym thats honestly the motivating factor. Aside from that, you know you are doing good for your body and mind and making yourself healthier and more attractive.

    I do it for the vanity lol :cool:

    Does anyone here use prework out supplements? I picked up mr hyde today. Can't wait to try it tomorrow. C4 was working for me in the beginning but died out half way. I guess my body built a tolerant to it. Heard good reviews on mr hyde. Will let you guys know tomorrow.

    I came to my conclusion all that preworkout is not only bad for you but a waste of money IMHO.

    I can't speak for how bad for you it is, but I agree that they are all a waste of money. If you need something, caffeine will do the job.

    Do you not enjoy the pump you get after each workout and slowly watching your reps and the amount of weight you can handle go up with each trip?

    That's what I love. Results. I'm waiting for my first real plateau, then I'm going to go super hard at the gym.
