I've always wondered why people lift. Lifting weights really puts stress on the body to a certain point. I was plagued by injuries when lifting heavy.
Do you want to be strong to prove something to others or yourself?
Do you want to be strong because you compete in powerlifting?
Do you want to look good for the opposite or same sex?
If you could get a 20 inch arm by curling 30 pounds would you do it?
MAKE GETBIG GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I began my training life as a bodybuilding enthusiast, eventually stepping onstage several times in a thong. Even then, however, I considered myself a "power bodybuilder". Meaning I didn't desire muscular mass without equal corresponding strength. My heroes were all incredibly strong physique champions.
But one day I realized the actual lifting, and the resulting strength, was what ultimately motivates me. Tanning, oiling, posing ... not at all.
I've always had a passion for big, strong things. Mechanical, physical or otherwise.
So I transitioned into powerlifting. Competed several times.
Now I simply consider myself a strength athlete. Entering meets isn't the goal. I absolutely love lifting and the catharsis it brings.
I'm good at it and have a natural talent. It's never been for anyone else.
I feel a calming effect from intense strength training. A sense of accomplishment. My great strength is what makes me different from the masses.

Started lifting to make my ex jealous (I know, lame, but true). Fell in love with the iron shortly after. I now train because its like therapy to me, I love being in the gym because its "my time."
To be honest, though, I do it purely for aesthetic reasons. If I could build 20" arms curling 30lbs once a week I'd take it lol. Unfortunately, genetics are a bitch...
I don't care much for strength, as impressive as it is to be strong, I'm just not built for it. I get injured way too easily lifting stupid heavy.
-
I train so I can run faster, hit a baseball further, compete in OCRs /GR types and for overall health.
I've found what works best is a combination of powerlifting (Wendler, etc) and military fitness training.
Like most though, got into it for aesthetics and bodybuilding, not knowing anything.
-
I feel everything is linked to an extent. If you train to get stronger, your muscle mass will increase to deal with the increasing loads. Getting bigger muscles is a result of getting stronger. If you also keep your bodyfat below 12%, you should be able to look reasonably good.
I don't have the genetics to have a great, aesthetic build and I've learnt to accept that. However, I like getting stronger in the gym as it makes me feel mentally better and improves my mood. I'm not even strong in most lifts but the sense of satisfaction I get when I hit a new PB can brighten my entire day.

I want to be as big, lean, explosive and strong as possible.
Endurance is also important. ppls with 20 inch arms curling those 30 pound dumbbells are just pathetic. the muscle that they have is not useful for survival and dominance...

i got my glock with me, just in case they try to get me, but 1-2 punch combo or rare naked choke is far better option in respect to legal aftermath.
Shooting people is risky endevour.
You can do your "pump" sets and inject AAS/hgh and feel badass, but you are no better than the beauty pageant bitches. Deadlifts, squats, C&Js, pull ups, etc are all must imo.
Even better, you can stop training and get some piana like implants and be HUGE.

That's not a very good argument in today's world. Chances of you running into a situation where your life is in actual danger are slim to none. Unless you're involved in illegal dealings which could go awry, I wouldn't worry about ninjas attacking you on your way home from work.
A statement like this would have made sense in a world with no law/order/police/etc...
I'm not sure where you're from, maybe in your country shit like this actually is a danger, but in most developed countries we are lucky enough that we don't need to be athletic to survive. The most athletic thing I do in my day is walk over to the grocery store. I doubt that will change any time soon.

Police aint gonna do shit where i am from, they all corrupt and dont give a fuck. Its not like Uganda but still people do a lot of stupid shit and its better to know how to handle yourself.

Because you are scared to post a picture on your gimmick account.

I see all these people on Instagram trying to squat, bench even hip thrust on Smith Machines extremely heavy weight. I just can't for the life of me figure out why?
Why does a man, that does not compete want to bench 400 pounds?
When I was lifting heavy, I was doing it for a competition. To be honest, I'll never do it again. Too hard on the body...especially if you are not on PED's.
When you take PED's, their are certain exercises one can do heavy without putting a toll on the body.
Kids/Twenty somethings are the ones lifting heavy now. Maybe to boast on Facebook of their PB (I couldn't figure out that terminology until someone explained it to me)
Plus...I can't stand when these kids say "gainz".
That is all.

I agree with a lot of this.
Training is almost a religious experience for me. And it's quite incredible how training alters mood in a positive way.

When you are not doing physical labour, non-training people are amazed when you perform an act of strength which is (in their opinion, not in ours) very amazing. Lifting a washing machine or a fridge or whatever.
I know from experience that some intelligent-even feminist-women are turned on by this.
I am not kiddin here.

haha, i can attest to that. females still have animal nature just like us. when she see you lift that big ol fridge, she is automatically attracted cause she sees safety for her and her future offsprings, then she thinks about your bank account and if that is ok, you are G2G. :D
Moreover,heavy DLs, squats and all that, combined with good endurance, have upgraded my pussy destroying abilities.

First it was to get ripped like Bruce Lee. Then to gain size/strength, but mostly size. Then mostly strength. Then, for years, it was just about looking muscular and lean.
Now it just feels good and keeps me from looking horrific. But not by much.

ok, i gotta admit that you have beautiful legs (slight homo)
and yep, you don't need to lift heavy to get bigger on roids, constant tension and fatiguing the muscle works just fine
i'm weaker now than when i was a natty, but i've got about 20 extra pounds of lean mass of me from that time, although i'm still a twink ;D

I've always wondered why people lift. Lifting weights really puts stress on the body to a certain point. I was plagued by injuries when lifting heavy.
Do you want to be strong to prove something to others or yourself?
No, I simply get stronger (increase reps or weight on exercises) in order to look better, not for the sake of putting up numbers considering I am not competing in powerlifting.
Do you want to be strong because you compete in powerlifting?
No, I am not interested in this body-wrecking activity in which corny, wannabe-tough-guy douchebags are involved. Ever meet some powerlifters?
Do you want to look good for the opposite or same sex?
I just like having muscle and will be competing in a show soon, just to see what I can do with my body and because I love bodybuilding.
If you could get a 20 inch arm by curling 30 pounds would you do it? [/quote
Getting twenty inch guns requires 'roids, which I don't do. But if I could get my arms bigger curing 30 pounds, that would be fine.

This actually made all the women I work with laugh. They agreed that they could care less how much we lift. They care more about how we look and if we are healthy. There were some who could care less if a man achieved his body with Anabolic/Androgenic steroids as long as he looked like "eye candy" as what they said.

As a teenager many moons ago I began lifting to get more energy. I was always tired, and short tempered. The lifting is therapy , elevating mood fairly quickly, and raises the energy levels for days. Looking fit is great but never my main motivation. I could never understand these fit 180 - 200 pounders going on gear, and eating all day just to look like tired, 250 pound bloated water bags.

its a tough pose to hit hold and showcase and depending on torso length some look better from rear than front and vice versa,,

no i think the rear is just more impressive because you lean back and create an optical illusion, especially when close to the camera
front is the opposite
at least those are my theories

Agree 100%. I feel that functional muscle will be infinitely more important when you are "going to war" at the local mud-run, asserting your dominance over a lesser beta male at the office Christmas party, or when an unruly non-white/non-lifter decides to harsh on you for having 19 items at the 15 item and under line at the supermarket. This world is all about physical dominance.
Have you considered incorporating these tools into your preparedness arsenal? They help you lock in the full power of the "rare naked choke".

i just started focusing on my tris so i'll keep this up for a good 4-6 weeks and if there is a change i'll let you know brosef (the experts around me tell me that my tris are behind my bis and delts, i agree with the delt part but not the bi part, but 3 different people tell me so, so i guess i should listen to them, but come to think of it, i'm actually focusing on bis too but tris even more so as this is what these "voices" keep telling me lol)
in fact i'm going to split bis and tris up (tris in the morning, bis in the evening) and train them on the same day every other day
what's funny is that i did an arm focus before and it did work as my arms were a full 1 1/4 inches bigger at the same bodyweight
, but i did lose size on my pecs and back, so i basically shifted the weight from my torso to my arms
so whoever says that spot gaining ain't possible is fucking wrong

you do mostly compound shit for tris right? and you lift pretty damn heavy too if i recall correctly
and you do close grips and dips with added weight? so how much weight you using on them lifts dude?
and what isos do you do?

and what isos do you do?
my bread and butter for tris is close grip bench press (not extremely close, just about shoulder width)
i'm up to 4x303lbs/140kg on my first set
then i taper down the weight and up the reps
i go pretty heavy on standing overhead extensions with one dumbel per side, about 8-10 reps on first set with 22kg with perfect form not shoulder pressing form like philipe uses on this exercise for cheating

200lbs of african fury as I recall
to be fair she kicked down the door together with her sister
i guess she was hovering around 80kg and the sister a similar weight, maybe a bit heavier, she has gigantic legs
so at least a combined weight of 160kg / 352 lbs kicking furiously at my door for a good while before it finally broke down
-
200lbs of african fury as I recall
she maxed out at 96 KG / 211lbs according to herself when she was pregnant
she usually hovered around 175lbs

as you can see from the background i was in the swiss alps and it was a very cold and blustery day
-

this pic was taken bout 6 weeks ago with my shit ass camera, i'll see if i can get a good pic of my dry shredded tris with some better fucking camera

Your potato-cam makes no such determination possible. It looks like camo netting behind you.
Congrats on overcoming your craven fear of the needle.

dj post more pics, less blury ones, thanks

In the eyes of the majority of average men, any above average male is going to be accepted as being alpha over them.
To women, a well built man can take a couple of forms. For example, a physique like Steve Reeves or Reg Park would draw far more admiring glances from women than a Branch Warren. Some women prefer a strongman type body. Powerlifters are generally not as admired once they go the HW/SHW class unless they maintain a semblance of shape to their physiques. It's been my experience that older and/or more mature women generally prefer their man to look like a man, not Woody Allen.
I lift to stay alive and healthy. I want to look as good as I can and of course, be as strong as I can and all within reason. I am now in my 41st year of weight training.

ask a bud to do it
i had my female trainer take those curl shots ;)
and as far as my arms go well let's just say they are improving very quickly, and i'll post pics very soon to prove it :)
trained tris today and did skulls supersetted with close-grips and then rope pressdowns with a 3 sec hold at the bottom of each rep and then finished off with db overhead tri ext supersetted with dips and my tris were shining like fucking diamonds, as the outer tri head was nearly as round and full and my side delt
Mentzer triceps here i fucking come 8)

You must be quite the runner. A full marathon is a little over 26 miles. On average those who finish need about 4:21 to complete the race. It take just under 8 hours to run 40 miles at the average full marathon pace.

good guess chief, 42
How many miles can you run, and what would your average pace be?
now? maybe 1 if i'm lucky
when i was at peak i could run a half mile in under 2 minutes and my best 5 k was 16:19 all done in high school as i was a stud x-country and track man at about a buck 28 LOL
my VO2 max was tested at The Ohio State University at it came out to be 71 ml/kg/min which is ELITE status 8)
what's your best ever mile?

The way you are talking about cool action shots in the gym I had assumed 17.

Shame you stopped then. Under 2 min 800 meters is like super elite.
At your age, you'd still be young enough to perform at a high level, rather than throw that and your health away for some temporary cosmetics. And, I'm not anti-TRT either, just think it's way too early for you. But, to each his own - we all do this shit for our own reasons, none right or wrong.
Since you asked, my best ever mile was probably 5:53, but that was in HS with no training, lol. For me now, I hate running, but do it as necessary means for overall conditioning, OCR/GR type stuff, and it's the ONLY thing that raised my good cholesterol significantly. I don't try to max out a mile, but if I look back to a workout I was proud of it went like this, since I stayed in the 6 min range on the last mile. I just finished 12 weeks of Wendler, and am currently working back to this kind of conditioning:
Run one mile in 6:35
1:15 plank
Spreed Ruck 2 miles under 23 min
1/4 mile walk: with 40 lb ruck, carry 80 lb sand bag....5 push up to start, walk 1/8 mile with bag...drop 10 pushup with ruck...10 walks up bleacher stairs with ruck........10 pushup with ruck, walk rest with sandbag
Ruck 1 mile in 11:20
Bear crawl with ruck 50 yds
Run 1 mile in 6:45
1:30 min plank

I lift so I can wear shirts like this without looking like a total douche....
LOL just kidding... I'm a total douche ;D

that's not bad, and if you're really serious about it you need to incorporate different methods of running training into your regime for example, pace training, lsd (long slow distance), intervals and fartlek (it's a swedish word for speed play, kinda like un-organized intervals but not quite as intense), maybe you do this stuff already
i originally ran to get into shape for basketball, but i ended up being a better runner than baller
my uncles were quite disappointed in this and they basically called me a pussy and said that real men play sports where you can get hurt, like football, basketball, boxing
they also said that bodybuilding is for f@gs
the funny thing is... running and running training is MUCH MUCH harder than bb training, and it's not even fucking close

Yeah, I hear you on it being harder.
I'm not serious about speed performance - I do sprints to stay quick for flag football, but the running is mostly so I can do OCR stuff - the hardest one is usually about 13 miles on a mountain. Speed is less important for those, just being about to do 10 miles at around 8 min per is fine.
Good luck with your training.

if bodybuilding is so easy and for "f@gs" why arent you squatting 800lbs leg pressing 2000+lbs like ronnie ??? ::)
-
also i quit dips a while ago and replaced them with close grip pressing
dips are too dangerous for injuries
i have no clue what isos are
Like how close? When it's inches apart, I find the movement awkward, but when it's wider sometimes it doesn't feel like it's hitting the triceps as much (asking for a friend). ;)
-

typically where the bar knurling starts, which is about shoulder width
supposedly it's scientifically proven that narrower than that doesnt give any advantage, just wrist problems

Experiment and find the closest grip you can do without pain in the wrists ect and stick with that, the excercise tends to work better with a pause at the bottom, for me at least
-

i never said it was for f@gs my uncles did
and the reason being is that it's a non-contact "sport" no one hits/smashes/tackles you (football), pushes/elbows you (basketball), or punches you (boxing) so since there is no kind of contact it's a fag activity according to them

I expect the opposite is more accurate. Think about pro wrestling.... I believe some refer to them as mat fags. Contact sports require the players to touch other players, most often of the same gender.
