Title: who trains the hardest at your gym?
Post by: Bluto on July 02, 2006, 04:08:00 PM
and how can you tell?

for most part it's those teenages with bad genetics from what i can tell
the struggle is so much harder for them, they must really go balls out to get even the minimum of gain.

the smaller the arms, the harder they train so to speak.

Do you mean the most often or the most intense?
Title: Re: who trains the hardest at your gym?
Post by: Bluto on July 02, 2006, 04:10:36 PM
the more intense, bigger effort etc.

It's true, I'm a former skinny teen who transformed himself into a healthy looking swimmer with years of balls to the wall training.  I never tried gear but at this point in  my life I don't regret it.  I had shitty genetics would have never been a huge man beast like most of the guys on this board.

most intense, me, definitely. I take a 10 second set between sets, normally. I also wear a hooded sweatshirt even in the middle of summer to avoid people talking to me. Just me, my mp3, and the weights. The owner is ALWAYS working out, though. He's a juicehead, I wouldn't call him intense though. He does a set then talks to people makes a phone call and repeat. He probably takes 10 minutes between sets.

i dont know cause the time i train theres only about 5 or 6 people in the gym,i only do about 9 or 10 sets total,im in and out of the gym in about ahalf hour or so,i take each set to total failure then i do negatives to finish off each set,the strange thing is im training less sets and getting much larger quicker,im not complaining at all though

I think it's a very interesting question and can tell you that it's those that  are most passionate about what they do, training, working or otherwise that will go all out in the gym.  Guys that make excuses for everything usually train like heroin addicted girls scouts. I've got to add that I've seen some women in the gym that train wayyyyy harder then most guys, so let's give it up for the sexy gym warriors who train to shape up their lovely glutes.  Oh, and I didn't mean the ugly she-beasts that pump testosterone, grow a clitasaurus and demand you say they look feminine.

no, not always. People with really good genetics still want to look their best. Heart has nothing to do with physical genetics.

Some people like Sarcasm may be happy with 15% bodyfat and keep training like a piece of shit. But most people on here probably have some pride and train hard so they don't look like a fat piece of shit, like Sarcasm.

or maybe they are still slowly shedding fat.... through the buildup of muscle.   not everyone starts out lifting with a skinnybody, you know.

everyone has their own reason for working out, I just don't think that people with good genetics train any easier than the people with shit genetics, generally speaking, of course.

no, because if they trained harder they would look better.....unless you mean their genetics somehow favor less training.

their best still needs to be obtained through hard work, the finished product will just be better.

Neither is a little cardio and self control at the Old Country Buffet, but try telling that to Sarcasm.

Not to some people. I know a guy who is way too lazy to work out but he loses weight when his wife makes him diet. He's a nice trim 320 right now. But he was down to 240 at 6'5" two years ago, no gym, no walking, no job, just played Madden all day when his wife was working making 6 figures, cuz she didn't keep junk food in the house.

Man that's funny. I went on a shopping binge and bought about 10 sports games. I played the new Madden once, and never played it again. That was 2 months ago, I just don't have the patience for video games like when I was a kid. I don't have a problem with the golf, pool, or racing games though, they're are easy to get into.

how does one train hard?  I train to muscular failure and I do as many sets as I believe are in the limit before overtraining.   You can't train any harder than that unless you want to overtrain so that's why it's a dumb question.

yeah but as you know there's other ways of training and beliefs so that means its not a dumb question

when he says"not everyone starts out with a skinny body", wtf? Sure, babies are born fat, hence the term babyfat, but I don't understand what he means? If he has been training for a year and a half and is still 20% bf, he shouldn't worry so much about keeping quality muscle, he should fire Vince as a personal trainer.

Bluto again with the bizarre logic...it's only the guys with bad genetics who train hard WTF?  ??? That must be part of his excuse for taking it easy.

Anyone who wants to maximize their potential should train hard-to failure and occasionally beyond failure. Simple.

Dear Bluto
Kind regards

Who trains hardest at my gym?
I have no idea as i only worry about what im doing and what i am lifting.
You must be one of those people who watches everyone else rather than concentrate on your own training.

Yours thankfully
