Title: being ripped isn't what it is all cracked up to be
Post by: johnnynoname on October 17, 2010, 04:44:15 PM
Quote
aint nothing like being ripped- regardless (unless youre a runner or a homeless crack head)

Ripped small bodybuilders always look better than big fat bodybuilders. Seeing a six pack (ABS) is always nice. Daily.


I read this quote and it got me thinking about all the disadvantages of being "ripped" or "shredded" or "rip-edded"

anyway, EVERYONE thinks you are a gay.  Then, you get dirty looks from permabulkers at the mall who catch their girlfriend staring at you.

Also, you aren't swimming in "Va Jay Jay" as much as people want to believe you should be.  You still have to develop as personality (which sucks).


In closing, being "ripped" is a gift but it is also a "curse".  Unfortunately, it is my cross to bear for the rest of my life because i come from a long line of ripped men.

I don't care if it's cracked up to something. I'm always in shape because it became a lifestyle and I don't think I could stand it any other way now.

As long as it is done in a healthy way and no drugs.

I don't see any problem ever because most of it can be controlled with diet regardless of how much or little you work out.

Yes being ripped isn't all that..I don't like that feeling of having no padding around the hips, pelvis, etc. It's also not much fun sitting down with zero fat on your ass.

sali, like you I live in the north east which means that between October and March no one gives a fuck at how ripped you are. I think that having visible abs is enough. You should should to carry as much weight as possible and still have abs. I am talking for natties only.

there is nothing worse than being a skinny twink during the winter months when out in the clubs.

I live in the northeast and it's to damn cold here in the winter..the less bodyfat you have, the harder it is to stay warm and get motivated to leave bed..I would find i was having to sleep with sweatshirts, sweatpants in the winter. I would also dread having to take a shower in the morning.

Lol I'm in stjohns it's cold and rainey here for 11 months of the year. Fucking pointless being ripped. It's way better to be bulky. Plus you look like you can plan hockey. Unless your fucking a girl no one is ever gonna see you with your shirt off. And at that point no need to impress.

I like being 250 with a slight hint of abs by the sides of the waist. If I wanted real abs I would have to drop to near 200. I don't want that.

You are 100% correct. I hate getting attention, but when I was like 6% bodyfat and in shape I hated the attention.  Plus everyone thinks you're gay and you look small in normal fitting clothes.  I alot of him  n shape dudes will wear tight clothes to show that they're in shape, but fuck that attention whoring shit.

I'm pretty sure I'm the one who said that...



Hopefully I made the distinction between being ripped (as a BB) or just plain skinny.



Also, one of the 'drawbacks' is being cold, even in the summer... and even colder in the winter. No ass padding for long time flights.... hungry and irritable quite often... only recourse is being able to lift your shirt year-round when people ask if you have a six pack (abs)...


People really do like to see abs... it's like showing tits, theyre always afraid to come out and ask, but you know they want to see them. Not an everyday sight, that's for sure.


...but don't quote me on that.... ;D ;D ;D

Alot of people confuse being "ripped" with being a pip squeek. A guy who weighs 170lbs with a 12 pac is not ripped. He's a pip squeek with good genetics. You put a dress shirt or sweater on that guy and he will look like he never touched a weight in his life.
