Why do I like to grow in strength? To me it's all about the essence of what it is to be a man. Another way of saying it is I just don't get the puny thing. I love to be able to pick things up with little or no effort. I feel at home in my body this way.
I remember when I was young, looking at magazines in our local newsagency and marvelling at the fantastic muscular bodies of men like Bill Pearl, Dave Draper, Sergio Oliva and Larry Scott. I wanted one too. I loved their strength.
It really started I suppose when dad and I would watch professional wrestling on a Saturday night in the late 1950's on TV. Black and white TV had just been introduced into Australia then and we received the shows from Madison Square Gardens. I was hooked! I wanted to be strong just like the wrestlers.
But it wasn't until I was married and in my early 20's that I finally got my opportunity to join a gym and start - and I've never really stopped apart from some short breaks here and there along life's way. At 57 now I can't see myself ever wanting to stop training.
Don't you stop either - there are just too many benefits.
