Some of us train for health, some of us train to look good, and some of train to fight demons.

The best way I can describe myself is that I am like a pitbull. I am extremely loving, extremely protective, but I can also be extremely aggressive . I grew up in a violent household. Beatings and sexual abuse. Forced to fight as a kid to prove who was the baddest family. Taught to defend anyone who disrespected my family with violence. My last name held weight. Later in life as you get older and people get washed up in the system, people OD, people get killed you realize this way of thinking won’t get you far at all. Dead or in prison is the only option. You do enough bad in life and you will forever look over your shoulder. If I am capable then who’s to say the person next to me isn’t. I am constantly on edge. What happens when you keep a pit in a cage? They become aggressive. Like a pit I need to be ran. I need that output. If I don’t I become aggressive. Of course I enjoy the benefit of the look from training hard but this isn’t why I train. I’ve also never trained for health. To a degree health doesn’t even cross my mind. Now that I’m diving into PEDs I pay attentions but that’s only bc I’m doing them. I train bc it’s the only thing that tames the beast. I don’t need music to get me hyped I just tap into that monster inside. That anger and frustration inside is what lifts the weights. Every negative thought or thoughts of violence get released when I squat dead or bench. This is why I train.

That being said.. what pushes y’all to train?? Lmao
