You are an iron warrior huh man... Lol.  

While I trained hard - competed and won... I was only a "warrior" in the Corps... Never really felt like my life was in danger in the gym and thank God I never felt my mission missions was to "close with and engage" while training...
Let's not elevate a little gym time to that status of combat... I can assure you they are not the same

Yes or soldier. Someone like Bob or Jay who wears military gear and camoflauge on their faces is a real iron soldier to me.

You can really test and push your mental fortitude and physical capability in the gym if you see to it which is where I believe some adopt this warrior notion, though to say fighting overseas for some corporations special interest makes you a warrior is a complete fallacy, if anything you're just a pawn.

You sound like quite the warrior yourself:

"Seems like whenever I'm at the gym and someone is actually training hard and by that I mean not doing like fluff movements in-between talking for 10 minutes between sets they get visibly agitated to a extent, like the person actually being and living hardcore thru their own training somehow takes away from the wannabe hardcore persona they try and portray with their attire and gym bro dialogue. Anybody else notice this? I personally find it about hilarious how insecure some of these guys are and always chuckle in my head when I see them outside of the gym, knowing what they really are made of."


How far have you managed to push your "mental fortitude" in the gym? Sounds like you must have pushed it all the way, seeing as you're qualified to  brand Floyd Mayweather a coward, soldiers as pawns as opposed to warriors, and live such a hardcore lifestyle that you now "chuckle in your head" at the sight of all the "wannabe hardcore" guys around you.  ::)

Floyd is a coward, soldiers are pawns and most do train like wimps. Sorry to burst your bubble little guy. I never claimed to be a warrior, perhaps you don't push yourself physically and are unable to grasp the mentality it would take to do so for over a decade.

;D meltdown. You're a fat powerlifting twat that think's he's hardcore because he "trains naturally" with a steely mental fortitude, then goes home to read about conspiracy theory's online and pretend that you're clued up with current affairs and geopolitical issues lol.

I'm not American or in the Army, but it's pretty obvious that you're a blowhard who wouldn't last a day doing floyd's routine, let alone getting in the ring, nor would you be any use in the military, doing any real endurance exercise, under fire or otherwise.
Stick to wearing a singlet and blasting slayer through your massive headphones whilst you mentally prepare for your next squat haha.

Looks like I struck a nerve, so if you're not a butt hurt solider boy then you're a Floyd nut hugger?

So more warrior than warrior. Right on.

lol yeah it's just GOT to be one of the two hasn't it! couldn't possibly be that you're just clearly a fat bullshitter that thinks he's nails  ;D

Well I will be nice enough to give you a third option, seeing as my prior posts which you got butt hurt over included soldiers, Floyd mayweather and naturals who train hard I will also let you claim being a bitter juice pig.

Gym Junkie...

Iron Warrior...

Probably has a slew of Flag Nor Fail attire.

I love to lift but last thing I wanna do is hang around a gym all day. Or have to talk about fitness with people. Ever get the good ol' "write me up a diet/routine please. but before you do, I don't do this [insert basically every bodypart because of some made up injury] and can't eat this [not can't, just doesn't like it]." When the result diet isn't what they want, you just wasted your time.

I did this once. Now whenever anyone asks I say go pay the trainer at the gym, this is what they are there for.


Fuck em
