Title: after all these years
Post by: Stavios on August 10, 2009, 11:44:32 PM
3-4 months ago I started not "giving a shit" about the bodybuilding lifestyle.

I drink 1-2 times a week.
I don't give a shit if I miss a meal here and there.
I only train for strenght, and I think it's much more fun and challenging

and guess what happened to my physique.....

FUCK ALL

I make the same "gains" I would have if I checked all my things religiously like I did before.

so fuck bodybuilding  :D
I feel like I missed a few good years of partying a bit with the friends

You're a good guy, but seriously, why neglect family, friends and fun just to get a bit bigger?

True story.

Any "enhanced" lifter can get away with anything and grow like a weed.

I know guys who eat and do whatever the fuck they want and they look great.

This is what I've been doing all my life. I look ok, nothing great..... but i drink myself into a coma most weekends, eat nowhere near enough protein, but still manage to look and lift better than a lot of guys "living the lifestyle".

thats my experience as well, these bbing mags try to change you in a money burning machine. just dont buy them. you should take bodybuilding serious to some extent.

Yes i am now realisng this too. I was never that serious, but lately i have been about more carefree when it comes to meals, protein and shit and i see no change. Kinda just going by feel now. I eat when i'm hungry, eating quite a bit less protein and "going by feel" when it comes to training.

Yep, fotunately i didn't get too sucked in by the supps. A lot of guys my age spend heaps on supps looking for that magic pill/powder.

Like you said, all i do is protein shakes. Never noticed shit with creatine either.....

Creatine and some of the prohormones/prosteroids made a huge difference when I was your age.  It's all about finding what works for you.

Post by: Sir Humphrey on August 11, 2009, 04:51:27 AM
Stavios, when you were young and naive, you believed the BS about pros eating just rice and chicken, or oatmeal and egg whites, eating 6 meals a day, training like the mags say, etc...

Somewhere along the line, you were bound to discover that a lot of that BS was just lies designed by the Weirder business empire, the bbing mags, and the supp companies to fool people.

You know the pros love the drugs (hormones and recreational), and you know a bit more or less rice or chicken isn't what makes the difference.

So shoot up a nice cocktail of test and nubain, take some diuretics and pee a bucket's worth, rub some crisco on urself, put on your shiniest, skimpiest thong, and go forth on the streets and find a homeless man to have a pose-down with.  :P

lol I would agree they not totally into bbing lifestyle

but you can be damned sure they at some points in their life sit at home or in public wanting attention pondering how to get bigger, leaner n watever... that often results in some sort of action... people actually do get motivated and do achieve goals with effort... although I know it is natural within ourselves to downplay the self determination of others...

bottom line is no one in bodybuilding is worth looking twice at without a lot of effort... no matter what their schtick is... or lack of "seriousness"

I'll just save my money and get the real deal when i'm a bit older......

As someone "a bit older" and in that position, I can tell you that as long as you have insurance and no plans to do GH therapy you can save your money for something better.  $5 co pay for 10 ml's 8)  I about passed out the first time when I went to get my script filled.  I was shocked, and just thought about the days of having to pay 65-100 for that.

As far as the original point of Stav's thread....when I was in my late 20's was my best shape i was in.  Ate taco bell one time every day, and and two sensible meals and a protein drink for three other meals.  Did cardio maybe 2x per week.

When I started working out I read all the mags and took a ton of supps....some bought, and a lot that I luckily got for cheap or free from the health food store I worked at.  I was gaining at nowhere near the rate I was down the road, and the eating six times a day thing did nothing but inconvenience my life, left me with only spare change in my pocket, and feeling bloated as hell from about the second meal on.

The mags are trying to sell you products, and giving you the routines and diets (supposedly) that the pros follow.  Unless you have those types of genetics and are willing to take the kind/ quantity of drugs they use it is foolish to consider their route to success to be yours.  Many of us have fallen prey to it, but in this day of the internet and the exchange of free info it provides it shouldn't still be happening

Title: Re: after all these years
Post by: SaltShaker on August 11, 2009, 05:55:21 AM
i agree, i was doing the whole diet and training religiously, downing 3 protein shakes a day, eating 6-7 small meals. but fuck that, now i have 3 solid meals and only my PWO protein shake. i look much harder. My training hasnt changed yet, still intense as a mofo

right now

monday:deadlifts
wednesday: bench
friday: squats
on the weekend: arms (only because they are my weak point or else I wouldn't do them)

I just try to get stronger on those lifts, the thickness comes along fine !

soon you will figure training at home with a modest humble bench/rack and some weights barbells and dumbells is as efficient as training in a "professional gym" with "professional equipment" ... (and professional losers everywhere trying to give some sens to their life sporting ridiculous tattoos and attitudes cause of their own shortcomings)

it might even suit you more not to have to play the role of the typical gymrat with a retarded attitude anymore and just enjoy doing your thing alone with yourself in peace. Nobody cares here, its just you and...you.



weight lifting is great for health, well being and discipline , its just all the retarded (and useless/extreme) stuff known as "fitness" or "bodybuilding" or "powerlifting"  surounding it that makes it suck. wether you train the bodybuilder/powerlifter/fitness fag way, your body is going to respond the same exact way and you ll have to be content with it. Being content of what you have and not wish constantly "more and more and more" with no end in sight.

It's all about lifting weights, feeling your body and enjoying it essentialy whoever you are and whatever the way you do it. Enjoying what you re doing right at the moment, and not projecting constantly yourself in the future, in a idealized ,dreamed future where you look like someone else you are not.

Its nice to come back to the basics and think about what made you enjoy the whole thing in the first place: just being here in a room and lift weights and feel your body transform itself under the influence of your will.  At some point the whole idea of a transformation / results isnt even the most important thing.
Who cares "how big" you end as a result of lifting weights, what matters is how it makes you feel, not what the others think of the results. What you think of yourself being conditionned by what the others say about your physique. Enjoy yourself, lift weights. Dont do it to please other people or you'll be their prisoner. Especially considering you dont really know, what they truly think as it s constantly changing.

Tons of reasons can make you look "bigger" or "smaller" from a day to another, but what is consistant and never changes and that truly matters, is how it makes you feel to be here, in a room with weights and just lift em.

I am saying that I lived the "bodybuilding life" for the past 4 years and now that I don't really give a shit and just train for strenght while going out 1-2 night a week and not worring so much about my meals I gain at the same pace as when I am serious about it.

I was under the impression that you were still going to take gear while slacking off on all other areas of training. My apologies if that's not the case.

of course I will.

you don't get the point at all !!!!!

I don't "slack" on any areas of training.
I train for strenght.

that's not slacking by anymean, it's just not sets of 8 to 10 and hitting the muscles from different angles.
it's more challenging to try and put more weight on the bar IMO

just my opinion but going from an extreme to another (from bodybuilding to powerlifting) isnt still quite the most balanced thing to do... and wont solve the deeper issues behind the whole thing. you re fooling yourself again here, you re still perpetuating the same mistake, it's just the other face of the same coin.

The real good thing to do is to throw that coin (building muscles) awayOR give it less importance in your life (balance its weight in your life) , meaning youll have to find a more  fulfilling /important coin as a healthy substitution, even if this coin might not be as shiny looking.

Dont forget brains have to be trained and can get more muscular, too.

You re too smart to exist just being defined by the way your muscles look or how you work em, and wether you act as a bodybuilder, a fitness fag or a powerlifter, you re doing it wrong; maybe you should try to focus on soemthing else instead.
Modify your whole view about it, just dont switch from one part to another of the same problem over and over.

well I give less importance to it by doing so IMO.

but why "train" in the first place if you don't improve on anything ?
I mean if you play tennis, you will play to eventually get better at it no ?
same with weightlifting

3-4 months ago I started not "giving a shit" about the bodybuilding lifestyle.

I drink 1-2 times a week.
I don't give a shit if I miss a meal here and there.
I only train for strenght, and I think it's much more fun and challenging

and guess what happened to my physique.....

FUCK ALL

I make the same "gains" I would have if I checked all my things religiously like I did before.

so fuck bodybuilding  :D
I feel like I missed a few good years of partying a bit with the friends

say it ain't so ;D

Sooooo, how can you challenge my statement that you'll be just like teh other juiced up, shitty dieting, partying meatheads in the gym? What will set you apart from them?  At least with your past BB lifestyle, the gear and effort was meaningful(competing, perhaps winning $, etc) ...serious question.

I NEVER understood that point.

it's ok to juice to get a plastic trophy, but it's not ok to juice to look good for yourself ?
that's ridiculous

nobody makes money from competing exept for a few good guys, or the guys that are willing to to G4P.

that's the sad truth

It's the law of diminished returns: you train a few times a week, eat reasonably well and don't completely binge-drink your way through the weekend you'll be 80% (guestimate) in as far as progress goes. 6 Meals a day will get you another 8%, strict sleeping schedule another 5% etc etc. You have too sacrifice a lot of fun and flexibility for that last little bit, it's just not worth it IMO.

When people hear I attend the gym for an hour, twice a week, they don't believe me...either I'm lying or I'm doing roids.

    I agree.  There's no evidence that a high protein diet gives you better gains than an
average protein diet.

just an observation that most juicers are weak-minded and lazy......I think you're proving my point :-\....It's alright, I like to party too. I just don't understand why someone who is'nt capitalizing on the benefits of gear(aka $$$) would take it. My only drawn conclusion is that they're weak-minded and overall lazy. Prove me wrong BIG GUY!

aside from the 100 or so bodybuilders, few hundred pro athletes, the benefits of gear for the millions (supposedly) that use them is to just look good naked.  besides, it's human nature to take the easy route (steroids) to get that sexy physique.  the old douchebags crotch makes fun of that look great would say they benefit greatly from it.

well I am pretty fat right now, around 12-13 %

still see my abs a bit

I don't really have athletic talents, never did much sport.
but I remember I could jump pretty high and also pretty far in high school back in the day, maybe if I trained for that I would have been "ok"
