Why do you people even lift?

So? Do you even lift? If so explain why.

I dont lift much since i cant believe it can be good for you long term vs something like yoga.

I often lift weights, because for one I am a athlete but also it helps me stay healthy, and feel good about myself. Tons of people look at themselves in the mirror every morning and are dissapointed in what they look like. I have vowed to never have that happen to me, i'm not a crazy gym junky that goes to the gym at 6am and comes back at 6pm, but I do lift enough to keep me in good health and to have me be proud of my body whenever I go to the beach.

I don't lift ,i used to.But i don't anymore. I used to lift to tone down my arms and increase their strength. People lift to increase their muscle power or bicep size. They lift to feel good and look good.

We seem to have a similar mentality towards this.  The other thing is that when you get into good shape (good is relative, but whatever the peak is) it doesn't feel nearly as good when I'm (relatively) out of shape.

When I compare how I feel between those two states, life is way better when I'm in good shape.  We all have to drag around this bag of skin our whole life...might as well take care of it...and push it to the limit every now and then for the thrill

We need to lift, to keep our muscular body with curves and cuts to make it visible as Masculine strengths. Besides that it will keep our body system active and warmth, doing exercise indeed increases the metabolism in our body cells. There is more to explain about this but I make it in short and simple.

If I don't do lifting at least 1-2 a week I'll start to feel pain and discomfort after some time, so no other option

Man, I don't even lift the lid when I pee.

I used to lift for gains in the bear market, but trends have changed so now I don't lift.

No, but I exercise daily. What is the use of lifting if you have not gained or increased any strength or performance in a better way? (this does happen to people) .  I'm a girl btw. But I do cardiovascular exercises with strength training and jogging daily.
