saw something today that made me laugh to myself, we've got a new "trainer" at our gym, 5'10" 185lbs. shaved head, competition tan, walks with the worst case of imaginary lat syndrome i've ever seen, huge gym bag slung over the shoulders, gallon of water,5lb. container of whey protein, the days meals all packed, he was walking with his huge bag of food to the microwave and i said, "damn dude you've got enough food to feed an army" now mind you that this kid is about a buck eighty five, so he says, "yeah....you've gotta eat to grow" hahahahaha, are you f.ucking kidding me? i said, "yeah....i know what you mean" i asked him later if he had a tribal tattoo on his arm so he pulls up the sleeve on his massive 15 inch right bicep and says, "yep", no wonder normal people think bb'ers are such jackasses.

Hey, it's good that Liftstudios is back in the gym. Tell him I said hey.

he probably tells mom he can't chip in on rent this week or his physique will suffer.

There's a trainer just like that at my gym (minus the shaved head). Looks like a complete tool.
* edit - Forgot to mention he has the rolled up sleeves as well.
-

i might be able to understand if this kid was some huge 280lb. mass monster but like i said he's small, can you imagine him at family barbecues with his tupperware container of chicken and rice, hahaha.
-
I was like that a couple of years ago in high school :'(

yes, with his silverware in his fanny pack and goofy baggy pants tucked into his otomix, telling all his cousins how they can get huge just like him

funny thing is 90 percent of the time it's 18-26 year olds, maybe they don't realize that they can do all of that shit but they're still small.

Oh no. I have a dork at my gym that's in his late 40's early 50's like this. Except he is at about 30+% bodyfat. Dresses like a 16 year old... Oh I could go on about this idiot.

This dude at my gym was doing shoulders today, and yesterday he was doing chest..and on both days he did bicepts.. i was thinking does he know that he can work out his legs and back...but he was soo roided out and obnoxiously laughing to himself while on the bluetooth..so old dude looked at him and said..."I want to drop a 45 on his head" that made me laugh...
All the while the Ballys rep is walking around with these fat black girls and their like ...ewwwwww look at him .... i hate ballys i want to die ..in december I shall be free at last, thank God almight I am free at last!!!

What's wrong with the kid deciding to stick to his selection of meals instead of taking a break and enjoying the barbecue with the rest of the family?
I don't see your reasoning.

So you are trying to laugh at him because he is well orginiazed and plan his meals and all?
Yeah...you surely dont rely on the juice alone.... ::)
-
I've noticed that I've been almost obsessively pointing these gym dweebs out to myself for a couple of months now...
For instance, when I see an effeminate pansy in little short shorts doing cable leg kicks, I think to myself "Brutal masculinity!" or "Awesome heterosexuality!".
When I come across some pencilneck geek with 14 inch pythons (complete with tribal tattoo) doing 15lb db kickbacks, I immediately think "Monster triceps!", not to mention "Epic coolness!" or "Stupendous originality!" or "Devastating uniqueness!" regarding the ink job.
What's really bad is that I'm actually starting to say these things out loud to people... ;D

LOL...IS IT ME, OR IS IT JUST THAT MOST BALLY'S THAT I VISITED HAVE NO MORE THAN 80 OR 90LBS DUMBELLS, THE MOST I EVER SEEN AT A BALLY'S WAS 110LBS DUMBELLS. I KNOW WHY GOLD'S GYM WILL ALWAYS BE MY PLACE TO GET SWOLLEN... ;D ;D

Do you consider yourself to be 'normal', or are you a bodybuilder?
-
15 inch bicep at his height would yield about 480 grams of protein. Save the triceps for tomorrow's preworkout meal.

What you describe above is the perception of some random little guy in the gym--not a bodybuilder. No one is going to look at that guy with his water and prefab meals and think “that’s a bodybuilder.” And nothing he does is going to be immediately associated with people we traditionally think of as bodybuilders. Sorry, his stats just don’t qualify. :-\
-
Who give a shit about "the average persons perception" of a bodybuilder? The average person (check the latest stats for the overweight American)is a fucking slob that MAY work out twice a week, eats shit, indulges too much and has very little or no discipline. Fuck um >:(
When the bodybuilding standard for great physiques were guys like Lebrada, Haney, Zane, Arnold, the average person still said "EWWW"
..oh yeah, did I forget to say fuck em? :)
-
So you are trying to laugh at him because he is well orginiazed and plan his meals and all?
Yeah...you surely dont rely on the juice alone.... ::)
my point was it's obviously not making him big so why bother.
-
everyone's gotta start somewhere - just let him be
It has been said before, but who gives 2 figs about how bodybuilders are perceived by the general public? They just don't get it and that's how it should be. No matter how little they think of us, you KNOW they tread carefully when we're near. I love it!

Yes, bb jackasses are a dime a dozen. These guys that consume insane amounts of food are ridiculous. I'm sorry, but when you leave your teens and 20s your life focus shifts. When you're 20-24 and goin balls out in every facet of the bb lifestyle you think this will never end....you say to yourself, "shit, I'll be doin this when I'm 60!!" I did and it simply didn't last. Unless you have insane genetics for bb you don't need to live your life that way. If you choose to then more power to you, but bb is a lonely, ultimately unfulfilling lifestyle. I believe completely stayin active, weight training, keepin lean, eating right, etc....but the bb lifestyle is a different animal. For most avid lifters it's merely a phase in their life....reality always sets in. Of course there will be 10 guys that are 30-50 that say, "you're outta your mind, I never quit....I love bb!!" Yeah, and for every 10 guys that stuck with it there'll be 10,000,000 that didn't.
-
The imaginary lat syndrome's usually accompanied by the corollary, the arms-too-ponderous-to move-normally complex. Both are for life, regardless of actual size. ::)
Both related to the embarassing sprayed-on T-shirt effect.
-

Do you know for how long he is in that strict regime? NO.Do you know for how long he trains? NO.
I can go on and on.I agree that ILS and all of that is lame,but laughing at him for being strict is just plain stupid.Not everyone can gain fast and natural,but at least he trys.
Your point was "im juicing and slacking on my diet and stuff and im bigger haha" lame point of view.
My point is ,you obviously are a retard...so why bother with you.... ::)

Yes he's extremely bittered now haha.

sarcasm that is a stupid statement.seriously...We all know that the eating right and the plenty of water thing,along with heavy training,is the way to go to get big,so what is he doing wrong?? What do you mean why bother??? wtf...you say you are 230,well if that is true then you were once 185.You did not get to 230 by saying f**k it,why bother eating right because I am only 185.You are very entertaining,but you make yourself sound like a real idiot sometimes.
-
i bet you match Sarcasm description perfectly :-\
If you had any kind of reading ability you would have noticed that I said I hate those ILS guys too etc.
But laughing at him for being strict is plain stupid,especialy coming from a self proclaimed beast.

This is a good post. Very True ..I am 32, 5 '11 AND My weight fluctuates between 190 and 210 lbs and I try to stay in good shape and be reasonably strong compared to the average dude...but long gone are the days when I have ANY desire to be anywhere near 250 lbs.It just isn't worth it to me.

some BB I know do act like complete ass clowns

I train at Bally and most of the ones I've seen (at least, here in Florida) have 100-lb dumbbells. The one where I've been training for the past few months has 105s. But, it's those blasted rubber-coated Ivanko types, which are a pain to balance.
The one in my hometown used to have 120s; but when it closed down, they got transferred to another Bally in a neighboring city. One of them broke and the folks there never bothered to get it fixed.
The heaviest dumbbells I've ever seen at any Bally fitness center have been 140s.

Do you have the "Premier Plus" membership? I got that for Christmas back in 1991. My parents paid off the contract in '94, and I took over the renewal payments, which started at $69/year. I kept that until 2000.
I recently renewed my membership. Apparently, Bally had been trying to contact me for several years. Their offer allegedly expired in 2003. But, they hooked me up anyway in 2005. Two hundred dollars covers me for two years, with all my old privileges restored. I can train at any Bally anywhere in the country.

95 % of the trainers at Bally's suffer from severe imaginary lat syndrome plus the gallon of water, almost touching the wall as they walk.....
Yet you heard them all the time telling clients that It's all genetics" when talikng about themselves......
Pathetic.

guess what this is the same height and weight that Zane competed and won the Olympia at. It's about shape not weight.

I'd revert to a riggety bench with narrow uprights and cement weights (like the ones I had when I was 16), first.

Yep. I thought mine was "state of the art". My bench has a leg extention, with a range of motion that only went through the second half of the lift. It had 2 pulleys on the back with white ropes,to do some sort of exercise. You could adjust the bench to do inclines; although, I had to use a coat hangar to keep the incline part steady.
I even had dumbells bars, with the screw-on collars. Slap an 8-kg (17.6-lb) Orbatron weight on each side, spin the collars, and I could really start hangin' and bangin'
AHHHHHH!!!!! The good old days!!!
;D

when i was in high school i had the weider bench (i think it was a brutal $60 at Sears) with about 130 lbs of barbells and a 20 lb. bar. you know, the one where the rack is just where your grip should be, so you'd have to go either inside the rack or outside it, then readjust.
i put it next to my bed in my room, so i'd do bench and curls before and after bed, every day.
brutal growth!

Why do you trash BBs at 180 lbs? There are four classes in the national NPC shows that require competitors to be under 180 (bantam, lightweight, middleweight, & welterweight). Some of these guys have gone pro with the IFBB at that weight as well (the last was Jose Raymond). Most of these guys aren't going to go into competition, but so few are interested that bodybuilding will die if the the ones who are interested get trashed by their "betters." Also, someone may be 230 lbs but also be at 20% BF. Weight isn't everything. & BBs are invented, not born. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Bring back them memories, why don't you?
I remember trying to be "hardcore", "blasting" my muscles into the pain zone, etc. I'd even train to failure. I'd put 80 lbs on the bar and put the collars on the end. Then, I'd put more weights on the side. I'd bench, until I couldn't bench anymore, dump the extra plates off, and bench 80 lbs. back onto the uprights.
Unfortunately, I lived upstairs and the noise disturbed my neighbors. So, I ended up putting the couch cushions around my bench to keep the noise down.

That was me. From aged 16 - 22 I was super intense and did everything right with regards to "living the lifestyle". Preparing 6 meals a day, driving an hour each way to workout 3-4 times a week was a pleasure. Then suddenly everything changes, I cannot be fucking asked to eat twice a day nevermind 6 times. Still working out but not as intense. Strange thing is, I maintained most of my mass. My priorities completely shifted and I look upon those intense juiced up 19 year olds with pity. So much time wasted chasing nothing.

mine was a 110 lb set of the cement andplastic weights.Someone gave me some more weight and I loaded it up,but it was a hollow 10 lb bar and it bent in the middle...I thought I was strong as hell...overloaded the bar hahaha

I had two bars: one was like yours and the other was solid metal. The bench was similar to what was depicted earlier, plus the little "extras" I mentioned. But, I thought I was set.
The narrow upright bench, the cement weights, and a can of Joe Weider's Dynamic Weight Gainer: THERE WAS NO STOPPING ME!!!
;D
that's the exact one. brutal bruising of the wrists.
I certainly don't miss that. Nor, do I miss taking one plate off a side and having to run to the other side, to keep the bar from falling and my weights from cracking.
-
I remember when I started lifting when I was in the 8th grade...I had no clue.I would bench until failure without going up in weight.My thinking was,I'll do this until it becomes no problem,then I will add a little weight and work with it for a couple weeks...and this is all I did,everyday...hahahaha every once in awhile I would attempt curls,but benching was more fun so that is what I did. typical ignorant kid.
