Just thought it would be interesting to see what people here care more about.

Do you care mostly about the strength qualities you are building, or are you more concerned with how much better you will look with a nice lean body mass?

I'm sure a lot of people care about both aspects, but which is most important and which is motivating you to continue working out.

The goal of being stronger, or the goal of looking better.

This question is open to both men and women.
 
I'm definately more interested in growing my penis.
 
I just wanna look good to be honest

I think the strenght part for myself is just a bonus.

I have friends that can lift just as much as me and dont look like they have any muslce, and I have friends that can rep out 275 on the bench for 3 sets and we look to be the same size, maybe I'm just a little smaller.

I just wanna look good :)
 
Lately I've shifted more towards looking good naked. Probably because I have a lot of injuries.. once I make a 200kg deadlift I'll probably go right back on the strength wagon.

But then again, if my goal is to look good naked, why am I not cutting? :p
 
look good definitely...but i like being a new member of the 1.5 bench club( benching 1.5 times ur weight) so strength is DEFINITLY an ego booster.
 
strength!

i train SOLELY for strength and care little for appearance. i think pretty boys have it easier as gaining mass definition you will eventually get somewhere near where you want to be if you know what your doing and are commited. whereas im only 130pds and just want to be monstrously strong like andy bolton etc. obviously this will never happen for me. even if i get strong bodyweight ratio like pull 500@130 i will only have half is deadlift strength!
 
ok now im int the middle

i just wana look good over the summer...

than i bulk my asss off while im all covered up for the 6 months

That depends where you want to get. Are you saying anyone could win Mr. Olympia by just being commited and knowing what you are doing? I doubt that.
 
On a serious note it's all about size for me at the moment. Similar to Karky i have injuries that are preventing me from lifting for strength at the momenT :(
 
Being very skinny when I was young, my primary goal was to build some size and look good. The best way to do that was through progressive resistance training, which also, coincidently, produces strength gains. I've always viewed strength as an inevitable by-product of working out.

I too am interested in growing Tom's penis...


Honestly though, my top priority is trying to be more physically fit and active...i.e. healthy.

Focusing on this tends to make both poll options occur..i get stronger, and I look less scary nekkid.
 
I voted strength because I'm happy with the way I look but I'm nowhere near my strength goals. I want to get stronger.

I work out for E) All of the above.

I like getting stronger, making daily living easier, feeling more energentic, and seeing muscles keep popping up all over the place.
 
I'm looking for size at the moment myself. Hopefully strength comes along with it, and I keep increasing my weights as i'm going so the strength is coming through.

For this summer I should be able to look pretty good, but with a whole year or so of training before next summer, that's when I think i'll be looking great (and should be a lot stronger too!)

Of course I want to look good naked lol however I do it for the strength as well. A woman likes to think she may be stronger than some of the males at the gym
 
Both. I am pretty strong now (i've always been naturally strong), i can bench more than a lot of other girls, but i don't look that great. That being said, when I lose weight I don't want to lose my strength. i want to be as fit and as strong as I look.

Never mind girls, you can probably bench more than me and i'm male :laughing2: Barbell bench is one of my most embarrasing lifts ha.

I'll get there though ;)
