What's the sense of not looking strong if you are?
-
what's the sense of being strong temporarily and in the process destroying your skeleton when you can look strong and hire mexicans and forklift operators to move big heavy stuff ?

Solid question.
-
Strength is really something I hardly ever use. I hire people to do anything labor intensive especially if it involves heavy lifting.
I guess I use a little strength to rebound when playing ball.

Mmmm, strength out lasts vanity x1000000. Do you really think you're going to stay ripped the rest of your life? Lol
-
Looking strong when you are not isn't ideal. You are still likely to get some good pussy if you look good though.
Better to be both.

Here son. Come talk to me me when you're 52. No injuries what so ever.

Is this kinda like fat chicks saying "im healthy" ?
-
holy traps/width..
-
The way youre probably defining "strong" is really not needed and serves no purpose.
However, being strong and in shape is of course a good thing for health reasons, especially during the elderly years.
-
:D
-
Suffice to say, in this day and age you get a lot further with a pen and paper than a big set of bicepts.
...... but that's not to say that I don't like lifting to get strong and lift for vanity purposes as well. Gotta make sure that ego is inflated to the max! 8) ;D

You can definitely train for both.
-
You can definitely train for both.
I believe that too. I used to lift really heavy and can still pick up heavy weights and safely lift them with good control.
After a layoff you can get back in the gym and get your size back. But the most satisfying things is getting your strength back because it comes a bit quicker and it doesn't taper off as quickly as muscle gains. You seem to hit a size plateau a bit quicker which can be a bit crappy, at least in my experience. If I'm in the gym, I figure that I may as well lift a bit of heavy weights too.

I'm strong and look good! Not that hard to do with decent genetics.

conehead :-*

Their are other attributes to being an athlete too. What good is squatting 800lbs if you can't sprint or jump up and touch the rim of a basketball hoop? So power is an attribute related to strength but separate.
What good is being strong if you gas quickly when wrestling or boxing another guy? You need endurance. What good is being strong if you can't run a decent mile and chubby soccer moms can run faster than you.
What good is bragging about your strength accomplishments when you use drugs to get there? It's just a fleeting accomplishment depending on your drug cycle.
What good is having a crazy bench if you can punch harder than a guy who benches 205Lbs. What good is a crazy bench if you can't take 315lbs off the floor and put it over head? Who is really the stronger guy?

How about strong enough? What's strong enough that is going to put you in pretty much the top 5 percent of your cohort? Most people I've seen who have the look of a weight trained athlete are pretty decently strong. You can't wear strength. What do you want to be some crypto hidden strong guy that looks like shit but can impress everyone during that 1 in 10,000 moment when something really heavy needs lifting? I'll pass on the whole Sri Chinmoy deal.
Frankly the whole strength thing goes back to the Riddle of Steel anyway. Your mind is what will determine your strength through determination, will power, effort, etc.
-
You need to be huge and strong otherwise there is no point of either. Being athletic is important too for fucking fat chicks.

look handsome take steroids have sex with women.
i dont understand why it has to be more complicated than that.

The point of the this thread was to point out to all of these ambercrombie twinks that post about strongman and powerlifters being fat as if the only way be is what they deem looks good. These are the ones that don't know how to train for both.

id rather look like marius pudanowski (sp?) than that gearbox yyzz or whatever his name was- a man is suppsed to look like a man, not a girl w no tits and a unibrow.

pudzianowski is a bad example to use because he was the exception, not the rule. dude had a 6 pack and was a strong man/powerlifter. rare exception.

Actually not. I just gave you an example with Poundstone.
-
What is the point of being strong and looking it if you don`t know how to defend yourself?
-
Actually not. I just gave you an example with Poundstone.
even though poundstone is not obese, and is in good shape, he doesnt compare to pudzianowski. he could pass for a bodybuilder in this picture and probably step on stage with this level of conditioning.

Yeah, would love to see bodybuilders compete in strongman. ::)
-
AMEN!!
Double that!
-
What is the point of being strong and looking it if you don`t know how to defend yourself?
Well.. Poundstone is a cop and Pudzianoski is I believe a former boxing champion, black belt and fights in KSW MMA. There's at least a couple of examples. And from what I can tell, unlike bodybuilders, they can hold a job without sucking a dick for $$$.

Define strong
Strong enough to pick your grandchildren up if they need carrying or moving huge boulders around your garden?
Keep lifting huge weights coach, you are one rep away from a wheelchair or Zimmer frame.

i always lol at the permabulking ego lifters who look like shit and eat sand when the babes grab my arms

Nothing wrong with pragmatic bodybuilders but you can always tell the weak and butthurt, delusional bodybuilder crowd - criticising strength by posting bloated monsters when in reality, there are 90kg dudes pulling 300kg+ deadlifts everywhere (and by that I mean there are a few in every area). The truth hurts.
They're the same delusional dipshits who endlessly think about how they could possibly win fights against people who train to fight based on their epic musculature and then a 70kg dude walks in and pounds the bags in front of them, whilst another twink pulls 6 plates like it's nothing and they stay the fuck away from both of them, the whole time, realising that the only thing they are capable of is tricking women into thinking they are bastions of strength and safe with them ::)
As I say, there's nothing wrong with bodybuilders, but know your limits - twinks will outlift you and twinks will beat the shit out of you. Just make sure you maximise the poontang because you sure as hell won't be winning anything to do with sport if you're the type of bodybuilder who publicly denounces the pursuit of strength.
..Just as those honeys will not be knowing the dude that kind of looks like a normal dude, but slightly thicker is a god in the eyes of the people who watch him lift in the gym.
Know your limits and stop bullshitting people. Women go for muscles because that gives them the most perceived protection. We all know it and most of us exploit their naivety.

go to a club and tell every girl you deadlift 300kilos
see how much they care
truth is nobody cares
when i was a natural homo i deadlifted 5x200kg
i assure you it didnt mean a thing in the clubs bitches only care about the size and conditioning as well as genetic shape of your arms
-
Perfect goal physique and the strength to back it up.

Why always does it have to be either or
It is possible to do both
Train the first few exercises for strength but still in a high enough rep range to ensure the gains are not just due to increased neurological efficiency then train the rest bodybuilder style.
Then bodybuilders would benefit from both myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy getting better overall gains and gave the best of both worlds
-
i think the guys who want the best of both are fooling themself
karate yes or karate no
not karate maybe

You don't need to assure me, I never said otherwise. I give credit where credit is due and bodybuilding is clearly the pursuit to go after to pull teh minge.
The only problem is when bodybuilders get butthurt about it because as far as I can recall, I don't see many powerlifters complaining about bodybuilders getting pussy. All I ever see is weak ass bodybuilders posting pictures of the fattest strong guy they can find, justifying their weakness, as if the pursuit of strength will leave them with 35% bodyfat.
There are plenty of bodybuilders who are strong, but you won't catch them posting pictures of blimps because they're not full of shit and looking to assuage their inadequacy :)
Be whoever you want to be, just know that there are places that you won't be able to expose your bullshit to without getting a reality check and the gym is one of them :)

in my book there is no one man who ever came close to the strength of rezazadeh hossein
220kg (500lbs?) powercleans in the warmup rooms
the image still haunts shane hammans dreams

women! even if your just benching 305-375 they think it's so much weight.

You say this, and yet this was posted in a thread started by a powerlifter/"strength enthusiast".
No bodybuilder gives two shits about a powerlifter unless the powerlifter starts telling him to lift heavier or do deadlifts or some dumb advice like that.

Yes, because if you look great in the gym , ripped toned and tanned and you are benching 20kilo a side the girls will not be interested in you at all.
They want real men who can bench 400lbs , they dont care at all if he looks like shit.

And he was 1 step away from having to be pushed around in a wheelchair to get to the stage , sort of like a fast car that can only be used on a racetrack. Useless physique and only looked good in still bodybuilding pictures. Looked clumsy and goofy in person and can hardly walk up a set of stairs without gassing.
Respect to Ron for being to most muscular person to ever walk the planet, but you're delusional if you think he had an ideal physique for size strength athleticism AND pussy slaying (which is a HUGE factor in determining the ideal)
Only ideal for impressing schmoes.

A guy I train with is so obsessed with strength and training to be stronger. Now he is wearing bench shirts and double wrapping his elbows just to get more weight up. I really don't understand it....what's the point? I just lift raw to try to build muscle......I honestly couldn't give a shit about how much weight I can lift. ???

Unless youre a strong man or powerlifter, I am not too sure why it matters how strong you are ??? ??? Like you said, lift to build muscle.
Like I said, it makes total sense if youre a strongman or powerlifter. But really doesnt matter for the average person.
-
I'm weak as fuck

Same philosophy for me. Could care less about strength. However on many lifts I do happen to be strong, but it's not something I train for. I keep my rep ranges between 10-15. I think I'm ok strong for such high reps and sure I could be a lot stronger if I trained lower reps but don't see the point.
Plus when you are over 30 time to start thinking about health and joints.

Bodybuilders are far to insecure with egos far to big on average to go around pretending that strength doesn't matter or that they are perfectly content with others being stronger than they are in the gym. Always cracks me up a bit inside when I hear "I don't care how strong I am" bit. As if they all wouldn't become much stronger for the sake of being stronger if they could merely snap their fingers to do so for example.

No really it doesn't matter, I use womens pilatis tension bands when Im training, I have no ego at all about lifting lighter than a twink.

If you have no ego at all then why do you go out of your way to attempt to discredit people who are stronger than you?

I dont, I am just commenting on how he looks, his strength isn't under question.
Strength impresses men, looking in shape and toned impresses women.

Huge without being stupidly huge, lean without being stupidly ripped, a good everyday build, not too much juice to maintain.

What's the sense of being invisible (not looking strong)?
You can rob banks without anyone knowing.
