/weightlifting/powerlifting if u where alone on the planet and there was no one who u could show your muscle/strenght for.
If u say yes, you are a fucking liar :D
-
of course. because not everybody are insecure bullied virgin bookworms like you who lift weights in a desperate attempt to attract girls.
-
Yes I would. I don't do it for anyone else.......
-
Well, yeah. I mean, even if you were alone, you would have to keep busy somehow. Granted, Sigmund Freud thought that people lifted weights or exercised to release sexual energy. So, if for no other reason, you would have to continue to lift to release that energy, since no females would be around to fuck. I would continue to do it just to curb boredom and from going crazy. :)

Haha, haven't seen it yet, but planning to do. Well its not all about lifting weight, its about what we do to get confirmation. Every girls say they do buy clothes, make up and ect ect for their own sake, I call it bullshit. I think 90% of all the things we do is about confirmation, new car, new kitchen, job, education ect. If there was no one to share experiences with or no one to give u confirmation I think we would give up mostly everything about the basics need, food, rest, security and pussy.

yes

i really don't know, probably trying to survive, find better ways.
some kind of exercises for sure, but it doesn't mean bodybuilding!
it is true that we do it to impress others and ourself, i mean if nobody's there to congratulate or compliment you whats the motivation?
-
I would say yes because I would still masturbate. Bodybuilding is masturbation for the muscles.
Anyone who says otherwise is a lying sack of shit.

hahaha, and when we talk about women, you people here praise them as something or another, rofl.
monstrous hypocrisy from your behalf
-
I have trained for 30 years.
I have had several time periods where my training was completely interrupted by injury, surgery,business and/or sickness.
I can say I am MUCH HAPPIER and more productive when training vs. not training.
So, yes, I would train.

yep
It's one of my favorite things to do. The actual act of weight lifting gives me an awesome rush.

of course it is....... the reality is, you wouldn't train!!!

I would definitely continue to train because I enjoy it. I agree with Moosejay, I've had periods of inactivity for all the same reasons he listed, but I'm much happier when I'm in the gym training regularly. I have no training partners, I've been with the same woman for 14 years, my friends don't care what I do in the gym....I have no one to impress. The opinions of perfect strangers used to matter when I was younger, but that's the past. Everything done now is for me.
-
I would stay healthy, strong and fit, but would be less concerned about whether I had abs or not

Good post - I totally agree - I've been with the same woman for seven years (married for four) - I have no real friends as an adult because I live in a completely different city 400 miles from where I grew up and when you train in the Temple in Brum you can stick 15 plates a side on a leg press and no-one will give a shit. I took an 18 month layoff a while back and I was moody as fuck - like there was something missing from my life. Going back to the gym has made me much happier as a result because I've got goals again and something to shoot for.

I agree about having goals as being an important factor. It's not the weightlifting/bodybuilding we love, but the goals we set for ourselves in the end. The weights are only a means to an end. Granted, you have to enjoy lifting weights, but, the most important thing is to have that goal and strive for it.
A good quote:
"For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are there, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them! I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible..."

I think for most on this board, training keeps us grounded. We all experience periods of inactivity, but by and large the gym makes us happier people. Anytime I'm away I also get moody, but the moment I return it's like the dark clouds lift LOL.

Thank god Big J and MOS are two other humans that don't care about friends, just their wives and training.
I thought I was going crazy; I don't talk to anyone anymore outside of work and my wife/family.
I just don't need anyone. I'm not obsessive enough to train 7 times a week, twice a day, but if i don't get my few times in a week i feel something's off.
Friends, meh, who needs them.
-

RIght, and the more developed they get the more come to understand how many girls actually
HATE the BBer look.... Yes thats true..
But, if lifting raise your selfestem, them it leads to scoring chicks.
Exude self confidence (not arrogance) and its magnetic.
The better you get at scoring girls, the more a guy learn how little has to do with his looks....
Yes even very attractive girls...
Lift for your own goals and hopefully health, not some magazine fantasy foisted on these punks that think it will get them pussy... It drives a industry that drains their wallets that should be spent chasing girls and havin fun in their youth.

Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that LOL....my friends are very important to me. Although, they're cool cause they understand the gym is important to me and don't give me shit about it. At one point or another all have tried training with me and most fizzle out after a period of days and on rare occassions they stuck with it for a couple months and then fizzle out. Still, I enjoy it but they just don't have the same passion...different strokes for different folks and I respect that. Some friends are couch potatos and overs love team sports.....me I like the time I have alone in the gym to do my thing.....my gay little quiet time. My wife doesn't like to train with me....never has, but she does her own thing in the gym and I do my mine. I think that's what I enjoy most about lifting.....the little time I spend doing my own thing while trying to achieve a personal goal at the same time.....it's therapeutic.

Cutting of all the bands whit other people accept the job and the family of yours would be a dangerous thing according to me. What if u get kicket from your job and your family die in a car accident, you would be fucket for life if you lost this, cuz these are the things you only seems too have. Or worse, what if it came out that the bitch is cheating on you and you are not father too the children :P

so you finally saw "I am legend"?
The Legend of Tea Bagger Vance

In my post I never said I cut ties with my friends - you're jumping to conclusions there. Just because they don't get involved in my gym life doesn't mean I don't have any friends - it's just that they live in a completely different part of the country to me. I still keep in regular contact with them and visit from time to time.
Your argument is severely flawed, Firstly, I will probably never lose my job - I'm a goverment worker and they don't do redundancies. There hasn't been one in over thirty years. There hasn't been a sacking in over twenty-five. Secondly, my wife would never cheat on me because she's one of these annoying morally superior types that has never done a thing wrong in her life - she'd have too much to lose by doing anything stupid. I'll never be a millionaire but I tell you mate, my life is set.

What type of work do you do for the gov't or are you at libery not to say?
It would be hardcore if you were a spy like Arnold in the movie "True Lies" :)

Haha - I wish. :P
Nothing special really - I interview bankrupts to establish the cause of their insolvency and I also interview company directors when their limited companies collapse. I also have to sort out their assets if they have any and pass their cases on to private insolvency practitioners if their asset values are high enough to interest them. It's quite interesting - no two cases are the same. Shite money though for what I do but I'm too scared to move into the private sector for fear of redundancy.
-
/weightlifting/powerlifting if u where alone on the planet and there was no one who u could show your muscle/strenght for.
Yes. It = an enjoyable activity, it increases well being, and it gives you a goal to pursue, and these 3 things = not dependant on other people given that you are a mature person.

I assume the private sector would offer more cash, but like you said, it is redundant. Hm, that is an interesting choice to make. More money at the expense of being bored out of your mind. Yeah, I would be torn as well :-\

no one would. you'd spend your time traveling around, trying to hunt, find food and other people, and disposable energy sources. you would get plenty of exercise through one way or another, but trying to maintain a hardcore bodybuilding lifestyle would be a lot of wasted time. plus if you for some reason got a serious injury like torn rotator or pec, then you = fucked.
but if you're claiming that somehow the world continues to operate as usual but just with the people gone, then yes, why not. i mean after all, isnt not having a real job or responsibilities what bodybuilding's all about?

Yur right, but what if say you had all the resources to survive just fine and dandy and didn't have to bust your ass to make it.
They would you still pump iron?
Yeah, if we was thrown into huntergather mode we'd have no spare energy for frivolous shit like Bbing.

if you were alone your top priority within about 4 months would be finding another person, guaranteed. staying close to your local gym to work on your lagging calf development might be a distant second.
i'd probably still exercise, but having the entire world at your disposal would mean almost limitless activities, and if you just spent you time inside in a dark gym and scrounging for all the gakic you could find then you probably were a poor choice for last person on earth.

Yup, and if you found that other person... wouldnt be long till ya'd fight with them..... ;D
Ever see that twilite zone when that guy was the last guy on Earth.?
All he like to do was read,,, then he breaks his glasses.
We'll all die together in a few month period at the end game is my guess.
Westerners will perrish much faster than the 3rd worlders and PPL used to living like animals.
We need refrigerated food, antibiotics, clean water... they can live on rotten food and pond water.
ANtibiotics make them sick..

after 20+ years I would honestly have to say yes because I have always lifted weights for myself, I typically keep my physique covered, never wearing tight or revealing clothing, and I have always been that way.

of course, if you're doing it for anyone but yourself then you are wasting your time. Where do you get the motivation if not from within, i know i couldn't conjure up the will to go to the gym if i didn't want to just because i wanted people to see me in a certain way.

maybe God has a plan for you and you're doing it for Him?

You guys got to understand that in the book, robert brushed his teeth so that he wouldn't have problems. Because there are no dentist around, duh ;). The movie took this a step further and had robert training to take care of his body. so yes, if i was the last guy on earth and there were a shitload of vampires around, i would shoot them while doing one-arm pushups like an inmate on crack. j/k but not really :D
