[Serious Athletes]( FEATURE ARTICLE [Lifting: Why We Do What We Do]( by Jason Ferrugia [Lifting Why We Do What We Do]( Working out is what the general public does to get in a little better shape. They go to the gym because they have to. They don't have a passion for it, they don't love it, and they don't live for it. Their gym time is a way to meet new friends or just "stay in shape" and improve their health. To them, working out is either a hobby or a necessary evil. And sure, lifting weights can have an endless array of health benefits, but let's be honest; that's not why most of us do it. The people at the local 24 hour fitness center do it for those reasons, but not us. We do it for that feeling of going to battle, the rush of hitting a new max, and the pain and suffering that come along with it. We do it because we love to set goals and bust our ass in pursuit of them. We do it because it allows us to release all our pent up anger and aggression. We do it because we know most others don't have the balls to train like we do. We do it for that feeling of camaraderie and competition between training partners. We do it for the sensation you can only get when you have a mind-numbingly heavy weight in your hands, straining for all that you're worth while your training partners scream in your ear, and Slayer is blasting on the radio as you slowly grind towards that goal you've been chasing. That's why we do what we do. TRENDING [The Best Exercise for a Smaller Waist]( by Clay Hyght, DC These five vacuum exercises will narrow and tighten your waist by training the transverse abdominis.

We'll struggle to reach one goal and, as soon as we reach it, there's another and more difficult one to meet. – [Dave Tate]( [My Goals]( [The ass you want]( [Solving problems]( [Dear treadmill people]( Copyright © 2019 T Nation LLC, All rights reserved. 1850 Reliable Circle, Colorado Springs, CO 80906 [Unsubscribe From List](
