Are you lifting for strength and endurance or are you lifting for aesthetics?
For me, ultimately, it's about aesthetics.
Not even two years ago, I weighed in at 234 lbs(and let me say that had NOTHING to do with two pregnancies, just sheer laziness). So I started working out to lose weight. Fast forward 18 months and I was down to less than 170 lbs. I really love the way bodybuilding shapes each individual muscles and you can tweak things to get them juuuuuust right(in your eyes, of course). At one time I had an interest in powerlifting and crossfit but honestly, I think I'm happy just having a nice body. No need for me to become and athlete at almost 30 years old, when that's never been a priority in my life before.
