[QUOTE="Lux, post: 9568, member: 105"] Made just for this forum, you will not find reposted anywhere else. These days, I take the gym less seriously, but I was basically maxed out natty for a long time. It totally does make a difference both with women, your own self-confidence, how other men treat you, etc. Also, it's super rewarding just to be jacked in itself. Every teenage boy looks at a comic book & thinks, "I want to look like that guy." In the words of Anakin Skywalker: "It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."
