  Sometimes I wonder what Im training for. Im not a wrestler or boxer, or bodybuilder or whatever, why do I need to train?
  
  Stamina is more important to me now, but I hate running in public and I dont like to use tread mills in gym because I think it causes shoes to wear out faster.
  
  What keeps you motivated to pump iron? How can I train for my stamina? Please help.

  300 lb is 136 kg. It will take me at least a few years to be able to bench that. That is provided I have good diet + training regime.

  What keeps you motivated to continue bodybuilding?

  Self-Respect, and Love for All in the Universe.
  
  When you put in effort to be strong, balanced and healthy (at all levels including the physical or fitness-wise), and consequently have a greater capacity to assist others or the situation when the opportunities arise; it is thus that you would have a deeper appreciation and respect for yourself and your capabilities; and of your capacity to make a difference, to assist, care for, and love others.
  
  Every man should consider taking up bodybuilding as well as a higher form of martial arts. This is to serve his capacity to more effectively experience his role as the male aspect of all balanced male-female relationships (ideally an Evolutionary Duo relationship).
