Why do you lift?

For the gym rats in here (recreational, hardcore, whatever)

Why do you lift?
What is your training philosophy?
What is your goal?

Let me begin:

I started lifting because of a knee injury. In the course of rehabilitating that injury, I realized that I could do more when I was able to Squat/Deadlift bodyweight. I continue to lift to become Strong(er). Lifting is my catharsis and my therapy - it gives me a controllable and more or less predictable variable in a life with very little certainty.

My training philosophy is to become Strong(er).

Kamo?

to deviate from the norm...and make me a better person than with my previous self.

i lift because i'm tired: tired of being weak; tired of being pushed around; tired of being always the smallest guy; tired of being skinny w/ a beer belly; tired of being flat chested; tired of the person that i was.

i will become strong and look good in the process!
