Re: The Fitness Thread

There was certainly a good amount with military backgrounds, but most of the people I knew that were into fitness were doing it to break the stereotype that all gamers were skinny nerds

Re: The Fitness Thread

speaking of obviously natural guys, my buddies are at the branch, if I had been able to compete they would have decked me out in gasp gear and given me a gym bag etc.

Ah well, that's why the Europa's there.

That's not just nerds.

side note: it is interesting how

(A) Stepmania is the ONLY music game community I have seen to have a strong interest in fitness

(B) for that matter, one of the only video game communities I know to do this also

I wonder why this is?

my hypothesis is that the same drive that makes someone want to get higher scores on a song is also the same drive that would make someone want to break PRs on lifts, but if anyone can think of a more plausible reason let me know

I decided to get into fitness because a girl I cared about hurt me pretty bad, and already self-conscious me was hit with a ton of figurative bricks. I made the change I'd wanted to make for a very long time, but lacked the courage to do. She came back, I turned her down. feelsgoodman.jpg

In my opinion a lot of the people who are good at this game and/or are still around to this day, have a lot of drive, determination and dedication as a personality trait. I have an addictive personality, and an incredible drive to push myself as far as I possibly can to be the best at what I'm doing. Giving up isn't really a characteristic that the Stepmania community overflows with as far as I can see.

Also if you're good at one thing, broadening your horizons never hurts lol.

He doesnt have his lower intestine (or upper? one of those) so he's constantly dehydrated.
