im writing this because i want to know everybody elses insights into why they lift?...
it will probably sound strange to you guys but i dont really know why i lift, like i cannot put words to why i love lifting weights so much, its almost like a ritualisitc thing..
like i dont like change, i lift because ive got into this habit of going to the gym every day in the week, or training on days when im supposed, its almost as if it gives you a purpose.
when i wake up, i think what am i going to eat today to fuel my workout, what should i eat, when should i eat it, what am i going to prepare to get me through the day and im always reading the science into lifting and why muscles change and like to learn about the body and how it adapts.
Ive had to do alot of growing up over the past few months aswel, and think about carreers etc.. and ive decided i want to be a personal trainer just because of the fact i love the gym so much and learning about the body, i want to help people with their goals and learn as much as i can while i can!.. its a place where everything goes away, you can do what you want to do, hit your own targets, get away from daily stresses etc.. i hope to own my own gym one day.. i know im young and may get critisized for it but it seems the only logical way for me to live now!
people could say what if you get injured in the next few years and cant lift? i dont think people should be scared of that, lifes out there to enjoy and go and get what you want and if you want to lift heavy ass weight and god forbid if anything ever did go wrong that shouldnt of, at least you have tried... see im from a part in great britain aswel where bodybuilding/powerlifting hasnt got much exposure, my friends say ur obsessed, or why do you want to look like that etc.. and i think its a real shame and this is the about the only place where i can find salvation and a place where people share the same goals or will help you attain your goals... hence another reason for personal training idea
i know ive gone a bit off topic but it made me think about all the things why i lift and would like to know all you fellas insights into your lives and why you have chosen to lift!
all the best
