Title: The price of being too big
Post by: the trainer on December 21, 2011, 10:01:11 AM
So you are 300lbs, but you run out of breath going up a flight of stairs, your joints ache, you are sweating in a ac room, you fart a lot and take 5 dumps a day and you are constantly stuffing yourself with food, now if you are a professional bodybuilder i can understand this is how you earn your living but for the average gymrat why would you want to put your body through this, is it really worth it to be that big

I don't know, I've never been 300 lbs before.  265 is my biggest.  I've noticed that if I'm getting winded easily, I just need to throw in cardio a few times a week.  If my joints ache, well, that's a price you pay for doing anything that takes a toll on your body.  When I was playing basketball in college, my joints used to ache just as badly after several hours of practice.  Ok, sure, you fart and shit a lot.  If a few extra bathroom trips each day is enough to steer you away from your goals then I think you need to look at your work ethic.  I like to eat a lot.  I come from an italian family where large quantities of food have always been the thing so I never really view it as "stuffing myself", plus when you are on certain things, you are much more hungry and more often so therefore you want to eat more.

I'd be curious to see how many times I've made the following statement on this board, but here goes again:

Set your goals and act accordingly.  If you want to be a pro bodybuilder, you gotta accept what that takes.  If you just want to be a top notch gym rat, but don't want any of the little annoyances that come with it, then you need to find a balance and act accordingly to that.

Lastly, when you ask why someone would want to be so big?  It could be for many reasons ranging from competitive to mental health.  Why would people want to base jump or sky dive?  Why would people want to enlist in the military full well knowing that they could die at war?  Why does anyone do anything?  It's a matter of choice and doing what makes you happy.  Some people may not agree or feel as you do, but it doesn't mean that what you are doing is wrong.

Food for thought kids.

no.

i've been there. 312 at my heaviest.

the sweating for me was the worst part, and the feeling of always being full of food- you are constantly full. i didnt get joint pain but was always out of breath. mobility is crazily lacking- you'll have to put your feet on a coffee table to put your socks on, and you'll probably need to buy wider shoes as well, with loose laces so you can slip your feet right into them. washing behind your neck is very difficult. and when your in bed forget about being on top of your old lady- within 5 minutes of trying to hold your fat ass up so you dont squish her your doing the old alternating elbows thing- and then on both elbows, and then your a sweaty mess and cant breath. fuck that.

was it worth it? depends really. it was a goal i set so i had the satisfaction of achieving it. would i go back- never.

***i fully expect to see this post repeated on another board by guys like 'aesthetics' who can pretend like hes been there, just like he repeats everything else he reads so he can come off like he knows what hes talking about.

I hear that...X2

270 was my heaviest. hated it. maintained it for a month and said "fuck this shit"...when you sit in a chair, you are IN the chair and you don't want to have to get up again. You get the "old man" groan whenever you have to do anything remotely physical, and I felt like i had a midget hanging around my neck 24/7.

I couldn't imagine weighing 300+  :P

I am currently 294 and don't experience any shortage of breath, ever, don't sweat profusely and don't suffer mobility issues. Of course, I do crap a lot and find myself eating a majority of the time. But so what? My goal is superior, world-class strength.

I began lifting at 15 at 135 pounds and am now 41. Never stopped. Squatted from day one.

My body has had much time to get used to the ever-increasing bodyweight.

The biggest problem is your frame some people do not have the frame to carry 300lbs yet they force their body to do it, some people can support that weight so they do okay.

To each their own, some like swimming some like gymnastics, some like getting big, can't put a measure to this. My friend snapped both femurs getting ready for the Olympics years back in a skiing accident, yet this week he is going on a skiing trip, another a guy a read about got bitten by a shark while surfing,, of course he still surfs today. When you want something the price is irrelevent, so yes it is worth it for some

I just can't imagine why guys rush it on tons of grams of gear, insulin and GH when they have trouble wiping their asses and banging their wives. Take the slow and steady route, build an actual good physique (big =/= quality) and make sure you don't get winded when you slam some fine vag otherwise you're just a sad sack of shit.

I used to be a long distance runner and can hardly even jog anymore. Been stretching and doing a lot of functional lifts so I'm not just gym strong. Not even going to climb over 200lbs again until my cardio and athleticism return. I'm only 5'8" though but I thankfully look over 200lbs because of how shredded I am.

I know that juicing and pinning tons of drugs doesn't make you look like an advocate for health, but for fuck sakes you guys need to at least take it into consideration and humor the fucking thought from time to time. It's so bad for your heart to blow up like a water balloon in a short period of time. Just because it's possible with massive drug abuse, doesn't mean that you should do it. Use your drugs smarter, train smarter and eat better so you can still reach your goals without it taking an eternity. Try sticking around for your wives, kids, family and friends. No one wants to deal with a lethargic lunk head who's always shitting like a Cocker Spaniel and soaking their shirts in sweat after drinking a glass of water or eating an apple.


That's just a pair of pennies from a rambling twink... I may not be 260lbs with striated glutes, but I can pound vag with the might of Thor's hammer and I'm pretty sure I look more appealing than a bloofy pin cushion that can't stop shitting around the clock. There's plenty of time to get big at a safer and more comfortable rate.

As I say, I am roughly 295 at six feet, and I am entirely drug-free. Caffeine pre-session is as hard as I go.

I do believe it's the guys who use major drugs and blow up fast who experience problems.

Few guess me at my bodyweight and many longtime gym-goers have said I don't move remotely like a typical 300-pounder. Twenty six years of busting my arse with compound/multi-joint exercises has gradually made me what I am today.

What do you mean, what am I today? I am no "fat turd", though.

Am I ripped? Nope. However, towards my goal, being such low percentage bodyfat is counterproductive, especially being drug-free. I train for maximal strength, which means I must always be aware of the potential for injury. Being some waspwaisted twink isn't gonna help me squat a raw 700 pounds.  

All this aside, why are you being a cock towards me? Are we enemies or some shit? As far as I know, you and I have never met, and if we have, well, then you'd know I am not "a fat turd".

Jealous much?

Sorry your efforts in the gym haven't yielded much.

Oh, I'd be "fat" in your eyes, but then again, for many here, an offseason pro bodybuilder is fat, so ... I am roughly the bodyfat I was in the offseason back when I pursued bodybuilding, competitively.

I am prepping for my provincial championships in late January. In May I will likely compete in my first national championships.

Something's moving the weight (I compete raw/classic, so it's not gear). Muscle would be the most obvious answer.

You're a jealous tiny tit who is pissed your pursuit of muscle has resulted in less-than-impressive gains. Don't blame me for your a) shit genetics, b) useless consistency, c) ill-advised workout programs, d) failure to win the "battle of the fork", e) ALL OF THE ABOVE.

My results from an officially sanctioned IPF contest will tell the tale. As I say, Ontario Provincial Championships is January 21/22 in Ottawa. I am lifting "classic" (raw). It's the Canadian Powerlifting Union, a feeder fed for the IPF. The 700 hasn't yet been done, but it's the yield for my current prep. I hope to do: 700, 425, 700. At the Niagara Championships on October 21st I won 1st and Best Lifter ~ Masters with a 650, 402, 650. It was to get my feet wet again after several years out of competition.

Your failure to believe is proof I am a gifted lifter. Thanks!

I'm 5'11". The most I ever weighed was 225 lbs when I was 29 years old. It felt good for about a minute until I looked in the mirror and saw a fat man looking back at me. Since that time, most of the time, I have weighed 185 - 195 lbs.

I am currently sixty-seven years old. About three years ago, I started HRT. I started adding some size, topping out at about 222 lbs. Lately, I've been eating less on purpose. My present weight is 205 lbs. My waist is 34", meaning my 34" jeans are a bit loose in the waist now. I probably won't go much lower than 190 lbs. before I start to panic that I am getting too thin. LOL!

The least I ever weighed at this height was 126 lbs. when I was fifteen years old. Don't ever want to go there again!

And abusing your body with food to be 295 pounds is healthy? You would probably be HEALTHIER on 3  grams of test a week popping abombz left and right and at that weight, then natural at that weight. I mean shit at least the nutrients  would be building some muscle and put to use in the process... instead of going straight to your ass and gut Also what's with you strongman/powerlifter folks saying your "roughly" 336 pounds, like anyone gives a fuck :D

memory foam mattress

That was my solution for years. Then I got married and the wife hated it. Had to get rid of it and the dreaded shoulder pain started. It got so bad I had to stop working out. I tried to restart a couple of times, but the pain was too much. A year later I have shrunk down to nothingness and me needing memory foam to sleep is an old memory. I now get comfortable anywhere, but I look like nothing.

So you are 300lbs, but you run out of breath going up a flight of stairs, your joints ache, you are sweating in a ac room, you fart a lot and take 5 dumps a day and you are constantly stuffing yourself with food, now if you are a professional bodybuilder i can understand this is how you earn your living but for the average gymrat why would you want to put your body through this, is it really worth it to be that big
In the early-Late 1990s got up to 127-128kg and consistently hovered around the 120s for years, Big, Powerful, Strong and all that shit you go though as a Younger guy with way to much time on your hands and nothing but being "Big" ringing in your head 24/7, Didnt get sweats much, no joint pains (well who does in their Late teens early 20s) although i did Gas Pretty quickly Fighting working on the Nightclub Doors back then which is why 9 times out of 10 you wanted to End a Fight Fast back then... Grappling, picking someone up Dumping to the ground etc etc all good....Non stop punching or kicking....GAS FAST.....which is why you always try to end it Fast which you usually did back then anyway, These days about 102-104kg all good... alot Older Yip but way more Healthy, more Mobile and active than i ever was way back when, is it worth getting Huge? Opinion's are a Dime to a Million.

Yes, I was. What does this have to do with my competition lifts? Last week I squatted 612 for three. Again, what does this have to do with anything related to what is done at a meet?

The record for a raw and drug-free squat in the IPF is something like 740. I hope to do seven in late January.

With multi-ply gear, a monolift and drugs I could, within six months, and being conservative, squat 900-1,000.

Hope this helps.

I respect your motivations. However, for me, attracting girls through weight training has never been a consideration.

As I say earlier in the thread, I never get winded, doing anything. In fact, I can jog for a few KM, no problem. But I agree, if you DO get winded doing normal tasks, it's time to reassess the mandate.

I agree. Besides its a shitty look and no one will find that attractive. I happen to be very comfortable at my current weight with hardly any fat or water and I'm just under 80lbs less than that. Anyone not trying to compete should be going for the slightly larger fitness model look

you'd probably out bench kennelly if you did a little winny and got one of those cheater bench shirts too.

anyone over 300 who's not 6'4+ or isn't a watery offseason pro is a grossly fat fuck who needs some cardio. 230 for someone 5'10" and on AAS is probably the limit for really lean size, obv more for abusers
Title: Re: The price of being too big
Post by: L.L on December 22, 2011, 12:24:48 PM
I don't know, I've never been 300 lbs before.  265 is my biggest.  I've noticed that if I'm getting winded easily, I just need to throw in cardio a few times a week.  If my joints ache, well, that's a price you pay for doing anything that takes a toll on your body.  When I was playing basketball in college, my joints used to ache just as badly after several hours of practice.  Ok, sure, you fart and shit a lot.  If a few extra bathroom trips each day is enough to steer you away from your goals then I think you need to look at your work ethic.  I like to eat a lot.  I come from an italian family where large quantities of food have always been the thing so I never really view it as "stuffing myself", plus when you are on certain things, you are much more hungry and more often so therefore you want to eat more.

I'd be curious to see how many times I've made the following statement on this board, but here goes again:

Set your goals and act accordingly.  If you want to be a pro bodybuilder, you gotta accept what that takes.  If you just want to be a top notch gym rat, but don't want any of the little annoyances that come with it, then you need to find a balance and act accordingly to that.

Lastly, when you ask why someone would want to be so big?  It could be for many reasons ranging from competitive to mental health.  Why would people want to base jump or sky dive?  Why would people want to enlist in the military full well knowing that they could die at war?  Why does anyone do anything?  It's a matter of choice and doing what makes you happy.  Some people may not agree or feel as you do, but it doesn't mean that what you are doing is wrong.

Food for thought kids.

spot on ,as usual....this kid is going places...remember that.

lol, another guy who thinks that if he puts on a squat suit or bench shirt his lift will improve 300 pounds the first time he wears it, i trained with a guy who squatted 765 at 165, now THATS world class strength, PM me if you want his name, you can look it up.

Jealous much?

Sorry your efforts in the gym haven't yielded much.

Oh, I'd be "fat" in your eyes, but then again, for many here, an offseason pro bodybuilder is fat, so ... I am roughly the bodyfat I was in the offseason back when I pursued bodybuilding, competitively.

I am prepping for my provincial championships in late January. In May I will likely compete in my first national championships.

Something's moving the weight (I compete raw/classic, so it's not gear). Muscle would be the most obvious answer.

You're a jealous tiny tit who is pissed your pursuit of muscle has resulted in less-than-impressive gains. Don't blame me for your a) shit genetics, b) useless consistency, c) ill-advised workout programs, d) failure to win the "battle of the fork", e) ALL OF THE ABOVE.

I feel sorry for you.

Thanks, man. MuscleMag was a good time. Spoke with Bob and Johnny Fitness a couple of weeks ago. They're well. However, the magazine business is HURTING. Let's hope MMI can hang in there.

Johnny Fitness. That guy was a hoot. He didn't look like he pumped anything except kegs of beer. Did he really lift? I thought he was a work horse that would put it all together more then a hard core fitness guy.

I was hooked on Musclemag for a long time. Bob was into the natural beach bodies, and good old pumping iron. He pushed Vince Gironda and that muscular look. I remember one time in downtown Toronto, Bob actually stages posing exhibitions out on the sidewalk. He had some local bodybuilders posing and people walking by would be like WTF? Lol. It was interesting. Bob was really into bodybuilding, he ate it, and breathed it.

I stopped reading the magazine once Paul Gardiner took over with the stupid Muscetech ads. The magazine became everything it used to be against. Shitty, overpriced supplements taking over everything. Like all the other miracle supplement ads it was nothing more then a scam. Some guy letting himself go to shit off the juice, then going back on hitting clen, and dieting.Gardner seems like the con artist type. It's very unfortunate that Bob would embrace such a person.

  I checked out Muscle mag at a chapters in Toronto recently. I wouldn't buy it for 99 cents. It must have been hard for Rob after his son sustained the head injury when the Jag flipped and his wife jumped in front of the train. I guess the magazine business gets old after a while.

I would have insisted on separate beds. Of course if your shoulder pain is gone and you can be sure it is because you stopped working out, that worth considering too. Although, I personally do not believe it is healthy to not work out in some manner at all. Of course, being "big" can have some distinctly bad side effects. I'd suggest you try for a happy medium and not make this an all or nothing at all situation.

Agreed. There is no reason to look like a total freak. I can easily see why people would want to though since gaining muscle is just so fucking addicting. I literally had to stop myself recently because I was gaining muscle like crazy and it was starting look bad, which defeats the whole purpose

You are already a big dude from what you've posted.

I suspect it is really easy to cross the line between being fit and muscular into being a freak. I think one clue is that freaks no longer fit in normal clothes. When one gets to the point that the only clothes they look good in is a thong, they have already passed into freakdom.

Being a fella who has consistently run away from the onetime skinny twink kid I started out as, I know firsthand how easy it is to lose sight of reality. When I am at the gym comparing myself to other huge guys and thinking I am not big enough yet and that they are normal and some fellow who is 5'10" and 180 pounds is wasted looking, I know my perspective is getting warped.

Recently, I have lost about 20 lbs. I feel a lot better and I am pretty sure I don't look scrawny at 205 lbs and 5'11". Another good sign is my clothes fit better and feel much more comfortable too....guess I can toss all those thongs. LOL!

Yes but I am at my ideal size IMO. I can easily get to 250lbs at my height of 5'10, but I just look better at 225lbs so I don't want to go drug shit crazy and add slin just to get a look that is inferior. Of course anyone that competes seriously is in a different category. Slinpimp for example is a huge guy that wants to be a beast on stage and that is great.

Considering that muscle is more dense and therefore weighs more than fat, 5'10" weighing in at 225 lbs. with hopefully a low bodyfat ratio should be about perfect.

Being as how I am a senior citizen, I might do better and be healthier weighing slightly less than you do. Although, I did like how I looked at 225 lbs. Wow, it's so easy to fall into the idea that big is great.

Yea I am sure it's me...I went from 180lbs natural to 222lbs and more conditioned/vascular in a little over a year with aas/hgh. Now I don't want to get any bigger for cosmetic and health reasons. I get comments all the time in person. feels good man

and yea maybe like 6 months ago, I was 190lbs after running some DNP. Then I started using tren and hgh and followed the bible

this is me yesterday post workout. I was like 230lbs in this pic because it wasn't in the morning. holding some water due to the bcaa drink and carbs right before. I'd look better if I had a tan
