Rippetoe visited my gym one day. I liked him immensely—funny, eccentric, a brilliant technique coach. He told me that to become competitive, I would have to get vastly bigger—to something like 275 pounds. But I didn’t want to be 275 pounds

Ripetard told this guy to bulk to 275lbs. This guy. What could possibly go wrong?

Girls and sons who have not been loved by their fathers seek attention once teens and adults to compensate for what they didn't have originally. Fathers either left them alone, or were distant most of the time and not encouraging them.

Some even despised them which would shape their personality and the way they they interact with others for the rest of their life.
They are extremistic in everything they do, always looking exaggeratly for attention (Hello Goodrum), and have troubles adapting to society's rules, because they also have troubles defining their own identity and respecting authority and hierarchy.

Also boys who got picked on by others during childhood and adolescence -often sons without a father figure- try to compensate by lifting weights, to develop muscles and survive in ther male world.
They're insecure because they're girly, childish, feminine having been raised by a single mom.
They lift obsessively hoping it will transform them into men, to compensate for their lack of influence from a father figure that was not there. Unfortunaltey they can get as big as they can it doesnt cure their insecurity and who they truly are, how they grew up being raised by a single mom. They re no as manly as other men whatever they do, and they often have a big lack of masculine presence they dont know how to balance, hence often being borderline homosexuals while trying to get their manhood back thru various manly activities (mma, cars, weight lifting etc).

They are often the ones that, in order to get respect from other males will go the steroids route to get even "bigger" attemptint to cure their insecurity , but being natural not being "enough", they still feel "too small", insecure, amongst other males. The lack of a father figure also often means they didnt have guidance to continue studies and are often working shitty manual jobs.

Great article. Endurance sports are definitely in vogue among upper middle class. Bodybuilding is seen as hobby of working-class, Jersey Shore types.

i have a theory about it


stuckup upper middle class people hate on bbers because they cant attain the look, it requires too much dedication, hard work and drugs


but they can just put on a nike t shirt, 90's oakleys and snap a pic for their facebook profile, showing everybody what atheletes they are in their free time


it's just more convenient to pretend to be an endurance athelete than a bber

I can not relate to this faggit, the things he speaks of make no sense to me.  I love to lift, I love getting a pump , I love how it sets the tone for my day.  I'm 6' and 220 lbs at about 15% body fat , I'm no where near as lean as a lot of you guy but none the less I do own a pair of 18" guns that catch eyes every fucking day and I absolutely love it, so fuck this dude , if his wife let me tap that ass one time she'd be filing for divorce and getting a tattoo on her ass the next day saying " GETBIGGERS ONLY"

And social class isn't just about income. It's about background, education, profession, etc.

"Sociologists, it turns out, have studied these covert athletic biases. Carl Stempel, for example, writing in the International Review for the Sociology of Sport, argues that upper middle class Americans avoid “excessive displays of strength,” viewing the bodybuilder look as vulgar overcompensation for wounded manhood."

I don't buy this.

IMO, the upper-class bias towards weightlifting stems from the association of large muscles with being a laborer.

im pretty happy where I'm at financially, and my "class" status.  Our vehicles are only a couple of years old and almost paid off and we owe about 7 more years on a 180,000 dollar house, I'm not rich and do not anticipate being rich but I'm happy with my status.  Most people who have substantial wealth worry themselves stupid trying to hold on to there money, fuck that you can't take it with you.

Envy you chief...  made 210k last year, wife at home and still not much to show for (both financially and in homemakery lolo) ... Socal suck expenses..

But back to the subject...

Here's my thought process...

A good portion of the "upper middle class" is basically the former "nerds" from high school combined with a lot of liberal doucherie...

Basically resentment... plus they think they know "better" health wise... yet the first one to jump to plastic surgery and shit...

Excellent thread.  I feel that most are driven to bodybuild out of some feeling of inadequacy.  Why else would one bother with the backbreaking weights, incessant eating, and illegal drugs?  Chances are, upper-middle class folks are able to derive their self-worth from their accomplishments and so are only inclined to exercise for health purposes.  Hence the emphasis of cardio over weights

I don't know...I am in the "upper middle class" segment. Close to the top of my field, multiple degrees, respected community member, father, friend. Financially secure. Yet, here I am talking bb, training like a man half my age and using hormones. What's my deal? I like looking good, and I want to look better. Plus I feel better on the gear: injuries heal quicker, etc. but let's face facts: I want big muscles and all that comes with it. I want to be "that guy" that literally has everything. The guy that all men envy and women want. That would be really cool...

the perfect leading man known as the alpha male is tall , slightly muscular but not too much, in shape, which means good health -long life lexpectancy as a leader- . He s also good looking, charismatic, strong and dominate at work, his woman, his kids and will give them power and stability as a legacy once he gets old. This is why he can seduce all the women he wants among the best looking lustful women as women want the strongest male to provide for them and eventual offspring.

He is a mix of great genes, great parents, great education.

You re unsatisfied because even if you have what many inferior men want -and can easily get nowadays-, you re still not the alphaest of them all and you know it when looking up at people who have more money, better looking women/ kids etc. You re trapped into what is known as the nonsensical animal condition...welcome in hell.



THE CORE DILEMMA OF MODERNITY
At the beginning of the third millennium, we humans in
technological societies are not sure how to proceed. Ever
since the Enlightenment, people in the West have pursued
happiness by trying to eliminate the causes of suffering, on
the sensible belief that this would lead to a world that was,
if not utopia for all, at least much happier for most. Sub-
sequent advances in technology have made life easier, safer
and more pleasurable and comfortable to a degree that
could not have been imagined. The suffering caused by
hunger, pain, sickness, boredom, and even the early death
of loved ones have been largely eliminated from the experi-
ences of many people. The triumph of technology over
most of the specific causes of human suffering is nothing
short of miraculous. But the deeper hope that this would
lead to general happiness is not only unfulfilled, it is almost
a cruel joke.

Natural selection and the elusiveness of happiness

No thats because they think it takes extreme intelligence and work to dominate others instead of slaving away your life lifting stuff for others. Most of them are opportunistic smart hard workers or sons and girls of  opportunistic smart hard workers.

Not in the real world. Rich guys usually don't have the mindset to get the zyzz body

and vice versa the guy with the zyzz body dont have the skills/mindset to become rich.

Wealthy people are among the most disciplined people in the world.

Of course everyone will now post examples of rich playboys and girls who inherited their wealth but the average guy making upper six-figures or low sevens is typically a very hard worker and incredibly disciplined.

And we are disciplined enough to train consistently and adhere to a good diet if we feel it is in our best interest.

You can't buy a good marathon or triathlon time either but the upper class does engage in these pursuits. I went through a running phase and getting down to a 3:00 hour marathon is no joke.

Great way to accelerate muscle atrophy and aging.   Not that using BB drugs doesn't accelerate aging too.

where did i say that you tard, i was just mentionning the ideal thing for everyone and that often it takes the whole picture to be balanced to really reach genuine long lasting hapiness, people who are only successful at one thing are miserable cause they failed something else.

the upper class "looks down" on muscles because that's the one thing they can't just buy

E

Totally agree.
Both upper and lower classes "hate" each other out of envy concerning out of reach qualities their life lacks and which they can't easily obtain via means found in their "set of tools".

From what I've seen, bankers know about banking and know very little about health, nutrition or useful trades.

I've seen what happens when one of these masters of the universe has a minor electrical or plumbing issue.

They call some guy with a Romanian accent who knows how to do things.

Or, it's just not worth their time to fuck around with the plumbing. The same reason that it isn't worth Bill Gate's time to bend over and pick up a $100 bill. Simple math and economics. That is why modern society allowed for differentiated skills and the concept of "money" arose to exchange for goods and services.

when a bald rich fat guy in the latest ferrari sees a guy walking on the street with a sick body but only 5 bux in his bank he will get jealous. that's a fact

most guys would choose having this life

over this
(http://wordpress.carthrottle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/fat-joe-ferrari-360.jpg)

regardless of bank account.


I wouldn’t trade places with either.

The first guy is more ripped than I’ll ever be, but he’s a twink with a fruity haircut and an even fruitier tattoo. He’s probably half my age, and I’d wager that he’s no stranger to the cock. I’m quite happy being a youngish 45 year old permabulker, having no ink, a better haircut, and a very rewarding and legitimate career.

Fat Joe inc has probably made hundreds of millions, but how much actually went to him after taxes and expenses such as management fees, and how much has he kept? If he’s like most rappers, he’s probably actually worth little or nothing. Maybe he’s an exception, but cars and bling do not equal wealth.

I couldn't eat "clean" in my line of work even if I wanted to. You'll never, ever catch me hauling a cooler and a gallon of water into a business lunch with a wealthy surgeon, lawyer, or oilman client at a fancy steakhouse. It's bad for business to not eat a steak and have a whiskey or 2.  ;D

I don't ever mow my own grass, clean my own house or even my cars generally, or do any maintenance or repairs on my home, office, or vehicles myself. I don't have a whole lot of time, and if I screw something up, it's on me. If they screw up, they've got to make good on it. Plus they'll do it faster and better than I will - it's what they do EVERY day.
