heard guy in gym saying on thanksgiving he eats his regular diet of tuna and broccoli and doesnt chow down on the great food,cmon man that is just plain stupid imo,unless u have a show in december or january that is plain dumb to deprive yourself.listen im as hardcore as the next guy when it comes to training and diet but cmon man,i do enjoy a nice morning workout though but frigg that shit as far as the food,im eating and enjoying myself

He is a true warrior - blazing a path through thanksgiving with his trusty can opener as his only line of defense against aunts and uncles with drumsticks and boiling hot gravy.
Does he do it for glory? No. For the recognition? No. To compete against others? No. He does it only to prove to himself what a warrior he is and how he can overcome any obstacles to make a complete and utter cnut of himself.
Oh yeah - and to be the guy with the biggest arms (kept at 90 degrees, in a t-shirt, 3 sizes too small with thumbs upwards to emphasize the biceps peak) on the holiday photos.
-
These guys are all misguided with this stuff, as if one meal ruins the whole thing.
I remember someone on this forum once stated they wouldn't do a few pull ups at the playground because he thought it could affect his back workout the next day.

exactly my point, i do give those guys credit for their determination and dedication but to last in this game for 4 DECADES like i did a person learns how to enjoy life also,trust me guys like the one u just mentioned will either adjust or just burn out and stop training

The bodybuilding calendar doesn't celebrate any holidays except for Plastic Trophy Day (contest) and Thong Appreciation Day (G4P session)

I think that's cool! He doesn't hurt anyone.
You can still eat whatever you want. It want effect him one bit

thats just my point,some people do it just to say(hey look at me,im not gonna enjoy all this food cause im a meathead)u know as well as me that one day of eating a week when a person is on a clean diet aint gonna do no damage whatsoever,u r right i think its just a matter of a person trying to get recognition and feeling special. it only comes around once a year man thats my point,its really kinda pointless but thats just my opinion

yes but the funny thing about it is i looked way better than this dude who deprives himself,i could see if he was suffering but he looked like bob paris or something.it always seems that way,the guys who play the role and walk around with tupper ware bowls and jugs of water are the ones that dont look that great. all im saying is if hes worried about the diet he can just eat the white meat of the turkey and a baked pototoe or something,people do get offended when they break their asses cooking all day and a person shows up with a can of tuna,its insulting,atleast it is to my family anyway
-
All food is healthy. U can diet on all type of food. Alot of gymrats are pretty stupid. U can have delicious healthy food. Eating dry boring food is just a result of no creative thinking.
Canfood is probably the worst stuff u can have...all the old natural preservation metods are the best. Companies fuck your food! The less they fucked with your food the better!

I say eat the food and burn the cal by doing cardio or an extra intense weight training session

exactly heenok, u know the deal man. one day of eating heavy aint gonna do shit except for alittle sodium bloat for 72 hrs or so,alot of water and cardio will get everything back together again just right. ive been in the game along time to know whats up, u seem like a guy who knows alot also which is great

maybe its cause i realize that life goes fast and im getting older now so i try to have a great time with holidays, and enjoy the time with family and freinds. enjoy the holidays fellas cause lifes to short to live like that, have fun and eat cause once a yaer will do no damage to youre diets whatsever,matter of fact it might just spark up the metabolism and get the furnace hot again so u can burn fat even better

Best holiday ever... Bodybuilding ass-clowns ::) ::)
Just eat and enjoy yourself, dont worry about "blurring your six pack" ::)

I don't like to make 2 poems on the same subject, the one I wrote about your mum's vagina entitled 'Tuna Bhuna' makes it a no goer.

Yes truely pathetic,
I think everyone had that fase at some point. The difference is most snap out of it real soon and realise the edge will be minimal (if at all present).
Especially naturals. If naturals have this kinda autistic mindset it really sets me off.
-
You don't get it. Some guys can't just go from a plain diet to a big extravagant dinner and back again to the lame diet. If you thought tuna tasted awful then had a big turkey dinner there is no way you would be able to ever stomach another bite of a tuna. They know their lack of discipline and having that one meal will have them fall off the wagon quickly into craving more and more decadant food.
-

So he 'just' looks like Bob Paris ???

I heard Charles Manson once proclaim he was proud of what he did... ???

enjoy a bit more than usual'you'll live'cut back next days ,if ur lean it will not matter,,its all sodium anyway,,,drink water..if your competing now then be the family pariah and lock yourself in your room and play your playstation with your rusted can of tuna on the floor...
-
I'll admit, I've fallen into this mindset before, and have a tendency to almost still do it. At the time it was a way for me to learn that discipline. I didn't feel at the time I had it to where I could know how or when to ease up when it came to diet, so instead would go to extremes rather than lose control.

i have many times ,,believe me..but i have bit more understanding now after many yrs of training to get around it and around the theory oh i can eat this and not want to punish myself,,,show shape is much different than gym/everyday lean looking good look,,pick one and get over it..

I used to bring tupperware containers of chicken and rice to Thanksgiving and Christmas.....even once to my own birthday dinner LOL. ::)
It was completely stupid LOL....and never once have I or will I step on a stage in a panty to make muscles LOL.

1. Misguided - Excuse me sir, but the only thing misguided is steering away from ideal macro-nutrients . Guys like him don't need family or loved ones. They only need a good gym , proper food and plenty of hand lotion for jerking off because they lack the personality required to date real girls. ;D
2. He can only do pull ups in the gym on one of those wt assist, Pull up/ dip machines ,that help lift ya LOL

yeah ,,why draw attention,,,even guys who have ridiculous amounts of pro or close to size look riduculous with a cooler everywhere,,a construction is one thing,,,
-
Maybe if they are dieting for a pro show with big money on the line, otherwise it's ridiculous.
The greatest pleasures on earth are sex and eating.
If you are training hard, one huge meal and several desserts is not going to harm you, or change the way you look at all.

For sure, and finding this board has definitely been really helpful for learning to understand things like that.

best response yet imo, u got it exactly right bro and i couldnt agree more. they can still pig out and 2 to 3 days later the bloat will be gone and they will look great again

This is a person who is deeply insecure with himself and most likely suffers from an internal dialogue filled with self-deprecation. When he wakes up in the morning, he looks in the mirror and feels incomplete and lost in a world with so many other people. He needs to stand out, to feel important, as well all do. We all want to feel important, and so we partake in different activities to stand out to others. The difference is that this person takes it to extreme levels and drastically alters his body and diet to stand out. There is nothing that screams, "look at me" more than a built up body and an insane diet. During Thanksgiving dinner, you can be certain that this man walks around with his ego inflated and his chest puffed out, believing that he is some unique flower because of his willingness to eat tuna and broccoli on Thanksgiving. He knows this will elicit specific responses from people, such as, "Why are you eating that stuff?" He will then be able to answer how hardcore he is, how dedicated he is, how he has such a great passion. For a moment, this man will stick out with a towering majesty amongst the rest of us. He will feel on top of the world. He will feel as if he conquered something grand, and for a matter of moments, will feel quite special in this world. Everyone in the room is looking at him, in awe of his dedication. He will drive home, look in the mirror, and begin to have another internal dialogue filled with self-deprecation. He is alone, he has no witnesses to his sacrifice. This will only fuel his desire to be seen, to stand out, to be that unique flower that he always desired. He will repeat the same vicious cycle of bodybuilding the next day.

When I was at my most obsessed with Bodybuilding, I was actually training natural and hadn't done a single cycle or prohormone. I correlate my obsession with the amount of bullshit I believe regarding 'secrets' to diet and training that could get me more 'results'.
As soon as I got around the right people (training wise) ran a few cycles, and read getbig a lot, the mist lifted from my eyes so to speak and my views towards training/dieting became more balanced.
-
That's exactly whats happened to me, Bigcyp. While I haven't cycled or taken a prohormone (yet. really so done natural training), I was at my worst mentally when I thought as a natural you had to be so strict with diet and frequency and all that.

Yep, same principle applies whether on gear or not.
When you realise that bodybuilding is not a mystic religion, with appointed gurus to light your path, and specific amounts of protein at specific times lol you will be free to just train, stay in shape, get big, get small, whatever!

Unfortunately at the gym I'm not around the right people, and only was able to see the light here. And even then I have to admit that's only been since maybe the earlier part of this year. So I'm still spending a lot of time reading and catching up.But its a little frustrating when I do go to the gym and talk to people I know, swearing to me the latest haul from GNC is going to be giving them huge gains. But I guess everyone takes the 'red pill' if and when they're ready.

I agree.
I never liked the traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas and it has nothing to do with bodybuilding.
From as far back as I can remember my family would go to Thanks giving day dinner at my maternal grandparents.
There we would eat a traditional dinner with obscure relatives we only saw on holidays, weddings and funerals.
Christmas day had presents , but we ended up having the same kind of dinner at our place with even more obscure relatives.
I often wondered , besides some genetic link, what connection do we have with most of these people ( extended family)?
If we were really interested in each other's lives wouldn't we get together more often then 1 day a year?
I don't go to visit my mom during the busy holidays. It's a major hassle to fly to NH during the winter months and she's busy with lost of other people making dinner and preparing, etc. Instead, I go to see her each summer for a week straight or more. This way, my wife , mom and I enjoy a lot of nice, relaxed quality vacation time in her area. I also take her and my favorite aunt to dinner and a minor league baseball game.
FYI, both grandparents, my dad, sister , have died at this point. So I don't have much family to visit, even if I wanted to now.

funny thing is he looks like shit,fat ass bloated meathead with big juicy BEE TEES bulging out of his pecs :D,id figure a guy with that much dedication would be a shredded munzer like type of dude, if he had a show at the end of november or even january id understand the mans willingness to miss out on all that good food,but if he thinks one day out of the yr is gonna make or break him he is a roasted guy

This is great post and perfect example of why many meathead , hardcore bodybuilders deserve the negative stereotype .
Nobody cares that you are hardcore and it only makes them think you are some odd , selfish, douchebag.

Yes, it's usually the wee Roasters that behave like this. Mainly due to an undiagnosed deep rooted inferiority complex manifesting itself in a self focused confusion between machismo and the homoerotic subliminal thoughts of lean skin over Turkey and pudding.
Properly built guys like Arnold etc. never deprived themselves.
-
The same guy once he's gets off the merry go round of doing drug cycles after decade or two will look like he never exercised in his life.
If you can't enjoy a drink and a great meal once in awhile what the hell are you doing with your life?
-
Totally stupid.
Even if doing keto you can eat turkey and find a fat source...
-
yeah ,,why draw attention,,,even guys who have ridiculous amounts of pro or close to size look riduculous with a cooler everywhere,,a construction is one thing,,,
Some guys carry a murse, some a small portable box with ice packs to keep food cold. It's that or have to eat out, spend 4x's the cost to eat chicken and maybe break your diet.

Pretty sure he's talking about the guy who's wife/girlfriend wants to go out to a dinner or movie (for example) and he says, "wait a minute. Let me pack my cooler!".
Not someone who brings it to work. Definitely more cost effective to pack your own lunch, etc. irregardless of whatever food you are eating in comparison to eating out.

i understand bringing tupperwear to work and stuff cause i do that myself, i understand we all have to make sure we r getting r protien and watch our fats and carbs,thats cool and i respect that dedication.i even keep tuna in my car just incase im stuck somewhere or have to work late ect, nothing wrong with that.im talking about loony mother fuckers that sit around on christmas dinner and thanksgiving dinner talking about how the food on the table has to much fat or suger ect,first off people r looking at these idiots and laughing thinking what a retard passing up all this food,also u dont have to be a registered dietician to know that eating one day a year will not get u fat and outta shape. thank god for arnold,he took the stereo type meathead bodybuiulder image and crushed it and showed the general public that hey,(U CAN BE NORMAL AND ENJOY A HOLIDAY MEAL AND STILL LOOK GREAT) im glad that most of u see things in a normal light

Real champs like Arnold, Big Ronnie, Jay, etc trained hard and dieted when they had to.
They didn't live life like a walking dead zombie, doing nothing but training and dieting.

Not to mention you can still follow a bodybuilding diet and eat a thanksgiving meal.
What's wrong with having turkey, a sweet potato and vegetables? All of these are standard foods served at thanskgiving and foods bodybuilders eat all the time anyway.
Again, its just some losers way of standing out amongst the crowd.

It's the, in your face, defiant attitude that he's a bodybuilder and everyone else is a lesser human.
If he's that anti-social why bother going to holiday dinner in the first place?!

If you are sitting there eating a can of tuna at your family Thanksgiving dinner you are an asshole, plain and simple.

i agree,to top it off he or she prolly wears a shirt at thanksgiving
saying something about bodybuilding to further get the attention they r seeking, if u r training yr round and done your homework your build will speak louder than any shirt or tupperwear bowl ever will. when i was younger(im an old geezer know)LOL, i was in good enough shape where people knew i worked out,i wasnt nothing great but trained hard enough and dieted hard enough for people at thanksgiving dinner to see my muscles,it never hurt going to gym an hour before the meal and training arms then put a light coat of baby oil over them and wear a cut off shirt ;)

i agree, i remember when i was younger at a thanksgiving my mom saw some tuna in my gym bag and said i hope u didnt bring that to eat cause i broke my ass cooking since last night and id be really upset if u dont eat something.i didnt bring the tuna to eat it was leftover from my job the day before,i usually always keep some cans in the gym bag just incase,u never know

I gave a seminar at the Lebanon, Ohio, YMCA over the holidays back in 1986.
My ex-wife's dad was a member of the YMCA and showed a few contest BB pics of me ,while talking me up to the staff.
They were convinced that I was this big deal in bodybuilding .
He asked me if I'd be willing to do a 30 min seminar in exchange for him getting a free extra year on his membership and I agreed.
It was during Thanksgiving weekend during the afternoon. The YMC had a 5x 7 pic of me doing a side chest shot with the seminar time listed on this poster next to the front desk. I had this really nice, expensive Nike Black sweat suit with my name monogrammed on it in blue thread.
I wore it to when I competed as a "tongue in cheek" attempt at humor ,when I showed up at a contest. I was shocked that aprox 25 people showed up for my seminar
I went thru some exercise and explained the difference between bodybuilding and lifting for pure strength or power.
I was getting a decent pump and a couple people asked me if I would pose.
I said fine and did a couple quick high reps sets and stripped down. I was around 205 and not too smooth and hit some shots to an enthusiastic crowd response.
One boy around age 12 asked me what I ate for Thanksgiving. I chuckled and said ; " I stuffed myself, just like everyone else."
Then we had a 15 min Q and A and I actually got a round of applause at the end, from the people there.
Maybe, I helped make bodybuilders look more friendly and normal that day...who knows.

It was during Thanksgiving weekend during the afternoon. The YMC had a 5x 7 pic of me doing a side chest shot with the seminar time listed on this poster next to the front desk. I had this really nice, expensive Nike Black sweat suit with my name monogrammed on it in blue thread.
I wore it to when I competed as a "tongue in cheek" attempt at humor ,when I showed up at a contest. I was shocked that aprox 25 people showed up for my seminar
I went thru some exercise and explained the difference between bodybuilding and lifting for pure strength or power.
I was getting a decent pump and a couple people asked me if I would pose.
I said fine and did a couple quick high reps sets and stripped down. I was around 205 and not too smooth and hit some shots to an enthusiastic crowd response.
One boy around age 12 asked me what I ate for Thanksgiving. I chuckled and said ; " I stuffed myself, just like everyone else."
Then we had a 15 min Q and A and I actually got a round of applause at the end, from the people there.
Maybe, I helped make bodybuilders look more friendly and normal that day...who knows.
thats pretty cool howard,u been around alittle which is great. the reason u got a huge applause,besides being a freindly and knowledgable guy,was because u answered them in a honest,down to earth way.most bodybuilders woulda prolly bullshitted and been like(no young man i brought my own food with me on thanksgiving and weighed it out) or someother bullshit answer,but u where honest and people appreciate honesty,i know i do

I guess that's what those knobs really believe, when in reality the pros only diet some parts of the year.

I can see pro's competing in the Arnold Classic (March) dieting over Christmas & New Years.... But Thanksgiving is far enough away that it shouldn't effect them.
On several occasions; Juan Morrell posted pics of his brownies & cakes & ice cream & fast food leading up to the Olympia.

Many years ago someone on here said eating tuna or plain chicken out of a tupperware at Thanksgiving was called Mike Arvilla Syndrome. lol

This guy was hoping for them to tell him a secret, he looks heart broken when they said it's about hard work and genetics. Which it is. Sure AAS are involved but he takes them and still looks like shit. He looked like he was about to cry. Belongs in a mental institution.
