The rationale and logic behind flexing:

1. The joy of witnessing my own growth and progression

Some people like to track their stocks, their financials, and other metrics. To me I like the qualitative measure of seeing my body before my very eyes evolve, grow, augment, become more.

Also what I love about tracking my own bodily growth:

I can actually control it.

For example, I can control what I eat, and what I don’t eat. I can control what exercises to do. Which lifts to do. Thus, I got 100% control over my body!

2. It is a fun game

Some people like to play video games. I like to play my body game! The game:

How strong can I physically become?

And truth be told, I care more for my strength gains [powerlifting] more so than my physique. My belief is that it is more empirical to grow and measure your ‘one rep max’ versus the subjectivity of your personal bodily physique.
