Just for the month of May lets limit the amount of snarky comments put out on a daily basis. Think before you type and just imagine what negative effects these comments can have on someone. Let's try this and believe me you'll feel a whole lot better with the end result. Let's give it a try, one month, if you don't like it you can go back to your regular self, no quesitons asked. Deal?
The reason I bring this up here at GetBig is there have been many high profile stories in the news about everything from children finding out about their parents’ divorce by reading their mother’s Facebook profile (yes, real story) to job seekers losing their opportunity based on the negative things they “tweeted” about their interview on Twitter. So the first points to consider are to not only think before you write, but also make sure that what you are writing you don’t mind everyone seeing. I understand here at GetBig it seems like a "free-for all" but here's the thing, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE! When you want to share your point-0f-view, do it in a productive professional manner. Remembering that this is a public forum, watch your words. If you don’t agree, don’t just say that. Make a case, share your wisdom and experience. By engaging with others (especially if the person you are interacting with has a large following like the "King of GetBig") you have a prime opportunity to grow your own online visibility. The point is that you want to build your reputation, not tarnish it.
This is a call to action for all GetBiggers. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you shouldn’t have your say. Opinions are crucial in the social media space. My point is to make your contributions online productive and aligned with your professional acumen. This will help you build a strong, credible profile and help you grow within the GetBig community. Being negative and antagonistic isn’t the answer. Limit the snarkiness and negative posts for one month and see what happens...we can do this!!!!
MAY IS STAY POSITIVE MONTH

I think alot of people come here to get their frustrations out. If something happens to them that day they don't like, they come here and hurl insults because they can get away with it. Just like the wifebeater that can't stand up to men. Little do they know, they'd feel so much better not being negative.
STAY POSITIVE...IT HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fallsview what are your best lifts?
Back in the early nineties I would do some heavy stuff in the gym but I blew my rotator cuffs out doing behind the neck presses and I was around 225lb. I had about 245 on the bar and it came crashing down on my shoulders so it pretty much destroyed my heavy lifting. I can't do bench presses anymore only on the smith machine. When I did do them I was doing 405. I was very young and stupid back then also a contributor to the injuries were the behind the neck pulldowns.
Last year I decided to go into some Highland games. So I went up to about 315-325 and did pretty damn well since the game was filled with guys that all knew each other and I had limited time with their equipment.

Well, I'm not your "pro bodybulder" build. I didn't bulk up to look pretty. 40% I don't know, I am 6'4. So what your saying is, your not into guys that are "bears". That's okay I'm married. I do however shave my arms and pits and trim my chest hair and legs, that may however get you some excited.

You do the the beta thing so well your alpha posturings are about as believable as a kitten barking. Which I have seen happen many times, mind you.

Some reason you need to "pick" on me and I really have no clue who you are. Well, now you're noticed. Let me sum you up: Somewhere on GetBig I really irked you. Something I wrote didn't sit well with you and your ego put up it's protective methods of reducing anxiety by unconciously distorting reality. One way is through "projections". Your disguising threatening impulses by attributing them to others (example being: The thief thinks everyone else is a thief) So this is how you pass it on through your posts (Just because you are not 6'4, no one is) There is also much "displacement" happening here where you place your anger on an object or person more psychologically acceptable than the one that aroused you. I would compare you to the likes of a child that is angered by their parents who displaces their anger on the family dog (In your case a barking cat)
All this and free of charge...You are welcome.
Now I have to go and watch the Wings game.
