What’s the ONE thing that keeps you training?

[genetic freak]

Define “fat” for a meathead…I’m feeling awfully self conscious.

My one reason is results. If I don’t go, the results are obvious. If I do go and I work hard, the results are obvious.

Then you might not want me to answer. Haha. Anything over 15% to me is fat.

Knowing what happens on many levels if I don't esp with advancing age. Take 3 months off for a major surgery and see how it works out. If that doesn't get you back in the gym, you're out to pasture and ready for the Bil-jac factory. Plus if I like the Mrs hard and lean, being a pot bellied aging fuck isn't going to work.

Exactly, while I don't have the same goals in the gym as I did, I am there to fight the aging process. Its much harder to keep what you have as you age, then you have to have surgery. I lost friggin' 17 lbs, mostly muscle, since surgery last May. 4 months later, still trying to gain it back and still trying to get the strength back. Plus, like some of you guys, I don't want my wife to have to look at a fat lazy old guy and my wife works just as hard so she doesn't turn into a fat lazy wife.

Haha. It is all good brother. That is my personal preference for top end of body fat. Some guys like to get a little fluffier. I find that my gains slow tremendously once I get over 15%, so I will do a quick mini cut (2-4 weeks) to get me back to a comfortable level. That newly accrued fat comes of quick AF. I started a mini cut Monday and I am already down 17 lbs, almost all water, but the look is drastically different. Looks like I am in prep again.

It depends on how you define even that question… there is something that GETS me to the gym, but there are other REASONS that get me there… what I mean…

I’ll be honest, the only thing that has me working out most days is discipline. I honestly don’t have much of that crave anymore… don’t get me wrong, I work HARD 5 days a week in the gym, eat clean 80%, split HIIT with zone 2 cardio… but solely out of discipline…. But the REASONS, I also want to be hard to kill, I’m no MMA badass, but like Tim Kennedy says, I want to be one PITA to take out. I like looking above average (I’m no monster like most of you)… but I do like not being every other person out there… like @Mike_RN said, I want to look hot for my wife, she deserves that, I can’t Believe how diffenrt people look after marriage… BUT, do I have that PASSION, no, and I miss that… I’m always glad I worked out, but again, what GETS me to the gym? Discipline.

Training holds everything together. Stopping is not an option. to many old injuries that would resurface once I am detrained.

 

[kid666]

Pure vanity. I get off on being told i look half my age. Recently turned 60 and still look and feel great.
Missing a workout is NOT an option.

 

[jipped genes]

There is not just one thing for me. If it was just 1 thing I would probably quit. It is a culmination of things such as it helps my physical performance, my body is more resilient, I am stronger, Improves quality of life when older, I don;t wanna be skinny fat, ect.

I want to set a good example for my kids so they see exercise as being important to good mental & physical health. I want that to translate to their kids & to their kids’ kids so I create generational change by being the jacked great grandpa that’s not only hella loving but very involved in their lives.
