Why are you training???

Why do you do it, what are your goals, and what is your focus? I'll start. I'm a powerlifter and strongman competitor. The human body is my interest, and so I am getting my first degree in a biomechanics related field. It is my passion and my obsession. My goal is a top 3 place as a Junior in this years US Open (powerlifting), and to earn my pro-card before I turn 25 (strongman). I train to become stronger. Everything I do in the gym is aimed at this. Being lean and gaining muscle are just nice side benefits. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth. Strongman by the grace of god.

Then I got addicted to being as strong as possible. The muscles that grow because of this are definitely a nice side effects. Any leanness that comes out of this goal is a direct result of not wanting to move up a weight class right now.

My major is Chemical Engineering. I'm your classic over acheiver but I never put much thought into my body, just my mind. I'm doing this to lose the freshman 15, to learn to be healthier, and a confidence boost when I go out wouldn't hurt (though not my ultimate goal).
