Poll: should I stop (pretending to be) lifting weights and just give up?

If you looked as bad as I do, you would feel the same way...

Ok. So, you're a foregone conclusion. Agreed. Might as well sit back and enjoy life, then!?

10 years busting your ass in the gym and dieting only to the same if not worse

natural bodybuilding is a failed concept

i train only 3 time per week and i dont diet now at all.. just try to put some protien in each of my 2-3 meals!..

100g per day, even when you're bulking, etc.  Doesn't seem possible to transform a physique with that low intake.
To MAINTAIN a physique, takes much less.

I also don't eat very well these days, but years of 5+ meals per day, have transformed my physique.  I couldn't have done it eating mediocre or lower calories.  Just impossible.

You are a fucking asshole and a liar. You don't even go on the politics board. Ignorant git.

If you come to Sandow gym, Paco will call you "Maricon".

In two weeks, He will organize The contest of Sandow gym. There, many new faces participate in the name of progress.
Some dont have even abs. But they are so positive and strive for their improvement.
Why? Cus in our gym, we put way more high value on the progress with hard work than the geneticaly bressed people who dont do any effort.
We always say, every people can make progress in the bbing.just there are difference in each individuals.
So if you dont make progress, its your faults. Not genetic.

I wish I had pictures of myself before I started lifting and you would see I looked even worse.

Croach has very decent body.

Maybe you eat too much(with bad plan) to get big.
That makes you look worse.

[Deicide]

He has lost something.

[Sherief Shalaby]

strong man!!.. i will try to consume 3 lbs of chicken per day from now on

[Deicide]

If you have a hypercaloric diet you are going to get fat...period.

[kiwiol]

I started with the 3lbs of chicken, after 6 months back training weighing 170lbs from 150lbs.
So, 50lbs no drugs.

Better than 10lbs from dbol, but still, not close to the same.
Drug gains are trash....period.  To me, and most people.

Lose everything, then see what you can attain.

Agree 100%, Croatch. I made the best gains when I was eating somewhere between 300 - 400 gm of protein a day, although it was spread over 4 - 5 meals and at least one of them was just a shake. You recover faster and better, your Test levels, strength and mood are all elevated.

[dr.chimps]

Ok. You've convinced me. Giving up would be the right thing to do for you.

And you are a perfect example of what everyone can achieve...

Finally have some sense there...giving up is the first step, then just got to find the best way to off myself and I am set.

Dont try to get big.

I was referring to his point about increased protein intake having a positive influence on whatever gain you make. Some people here say that you don't need more than 100 gm of protein a day or whatever. But I think increasing protein intake does make a noticeable difference. Doesn't matter that we will both make different degrees of gains from the same program and diet schedule.
