What motivates you, and what do you hate? About bodybuilding/strength sports...

Nice, I ride the 530exc and when I jump on my mates 690, where I would be changing the 530 into the next gear the 690 just starts to lift. Tonnes of power.
One thing about bbing and riding is the pump, I get a pump straight away in my forearms, traps, legs, everywhere. But then again I get a pump brushing my teeth.
How's the price on full rego these days?

Still unregistered and bought it unregistered as where I ride is private property, but planning to get it registered soon.

Hoping it won't hurt too much.

It would hurt exactly $614.10 worth in Vic, imagine NSW reg would't be much different.

Well that would hurt plus they will hit me up for stamp duty as well

I like:
That people do a double take and apologise profusley when they bump into me in the pub.
I get both arm rests on the plane
That I don't train arms, and they're still bigger than most others
My missus can't get enough of me
My kids think I'm like superman and tell me I look like the guy on the cartoons with square boobs

Dislikes
People who have tiny arms and a fat belly, and tell me how diet and lifting works
Blokes who train Chest/arms...every day. And wear skinny jeans to the gym.
People in the gym who look at me funny when I do farmers walks
People who tell me I'm squatting too deep
People who say "why only one rep, shouldn't you do 10" when I talk of my maxes...
....Getting injured!! lol

Why did you originally start training? The first time you walked into a gym or hit the bench press in a mates garage? What was the underlying reason ? (before you developed the love for it as a lifestyle)

the risk of death at a young age I was 160kg and had the energy of a snail. now I just love to train

I am motivated by my need to look awesome.
I am motivated by my need to be able to crush any idiots skull with my bare hands.
I am motivated by my need to be the centre of attention wherever I go.
I am motivated by my need to pump any chick I like the look of.

I hate not always looking awesome.
I hate not being able to crush any idiots skull with my bare hands.
I hate not being the centre of attention.
I hate not pumping any chick I like.
