Well I have been lifting for over 20 years and for me it is something that I just do everyday, like waking up, I have to do it. I lift 5 days a week with 2 days off and if I dont go to the gym I am lost. So for me it has become a part of my everyday routine, has been that way for many years. My motivation to go when I first started training was the way I felt afterwards and the way it made me look apperancewise.

Same here, plus I always think I look crappy and small -so bigorexia takes over.
When I see the pics of the competitors in all these magazines, I think I look like crap. I'm not ripped like they are and that motivates to hit the iron even harder (even though the gym owner says that I'm already stronger than all the women and even some guys there).
What also motivates me is guys like Genetic Freak checking out my training log day in day out.
