Muscles are a sign of strength and power, which females are hardwired (from an evolutionary perspective) to be attracted to.

Lifting will increase your testosterone, which has a plethora of benefits.

While any fitness is recommend, lifting is the best route from a sexual marketplace perspective. Well, combat sports rank up there as well. If you want to practice krav maga several times a week instead of lifting, that works too.

Mental benefits from increased confidence as your body image improves.

Go fucking lift.

Great stuff, I'd add that it reinforces the notion that slow and steady progress can lead to incredible results, and you're capable of virtually anything if you're consistent.

The most basic, and overall practical answer would be because chicks dig it. Yeah on a really shallow level that's the simpler answer.

Personally I think that what makes us men biologically is basically Testosterone, which allows us to be bigger, stronger and physically dominant compared to women.

So:

  • You're actively making visible what makes you a man.

  • Even though we're not in the cave age anymore, you become physically superior to most men, which is a part of being the best.

  • Having a strong hard body shows the qualities in you that are implied with a good physique, such as; discipline, perseverance, mental strength, progress oriented, dedicated, etc.

Because with lifting, you can see immediate tangible results aka muscles, along with increased energy and motivation which directly increases your confidence. This helps other areas in your life. Women like muscles but that's not the reason it's advocated so heavily around here.

Because how can you be manly if you are not strong
