Title: why i quit lifting weights
Post by: TigerStripes on April 02, 2013, 06:15:25 PM
I was an iron warrior for many years. At one point I was even a bodybuilding douche wearing a golds gym shirt, eating straight tuna straight out of a can on my 10 minute work breaks.

I quit lifting weights completely though a few years back and its been great.

Lifting weights got very boring after almost a decade of it. I did everything there was to do and challenged myself in every way. It got tedious.

Also I realized my physique stays great by just eating right, playing sports, working out in the sun on my land, and all the other shit I do. I do so much physically that I don't need to lift, it's overkill on my muscles.

If you wanna pump you muscles up for the perverted rush, go for it. After a while the gains just hit a brick wall and you max out. Then it just gets boring.

 Wow - more free advices for us.  Hey thx a lot. I had been thinking about how bored I've been while training with weights for the last 30 years - finally a solution.  I can just quit training and work on my land outside  and just do other stuff and sports and watch what I eat.

 Thx bro - are you like a life coach or something?  I mean I've been training for 30 years and I was wondering what I should do since it's been so boring for the last 28 1/2 years.  Man time flies when you're lifting and just hanging out bored for almost 3 decades. I mean look @ me.

 Do have a web site where I can contact you should I need more info on what I should do with my time?

Thx again - where di I send the check for all that great guidance?

well I'm kind of the same. you grow out of it after a while and get bored with the whole shallow and obsessive "lifestyle". living life with an obsession is it really a life? whatever.. I guess it's the same with people who do sports at elite level. just obsessive. I guess there are some OCD people who truly enjoys it.

now i just bench every now and then and swing some db's at home. I do not obsess with proteins or getting "meals" in. still fit and strong.

Yes Big Macs (plural) and jailhouse lifting methods are the keys to pro-level size as a natural.

I guess technically this isn't a "gimmick" account. There doesn't appear to be any strategy or ulterior motive. It's just an extra account someone made because they are bored.

Kinda sad.  :-\

I completely agree that lifting weights can get boring. I have been at it for over 25 years. In the past I used to lift heavy, wait 3 or 4 minutes in between sets, and lift for hours. I gained for 6 years then hit a huge wall, and sat on the wall for years. I tried doing cardio which to me is incredibly boring. I was eating like a horse. The injuries were starting, and the progress had stopped. Then I started thinking about health. Isn't this why we should be exercising to begin with?

I lowered my weights significantly, and cut my rest times between sets to 15-20 seconds, deep breathing in between. My sets were a combination of full and partial reps. I only ate when I was hungry, and only took a lot of protein after workouts. Workouts were over in 30 minutes once every 3 days. Breathing became the focus. I usually do 1 exercise a bodypart and switch them all the time. Big bodyparts get supersetted on occasion. Once every 2 or 3 weeks I pick a compound exercise and go my heaviest for 5 reps.
 
Since then it has been mind blowing pumps, muscle gain, and conditioning. I start thinking of my next workout the day after a workout and feel much better. The enthusiasm is there. My bp is down in great range. My heart rate is sitting at 65 beats a minute, from 85 beats. You will get very muscular training this way, and get functional. No more bloating and being chained down to the gym. I have tried every form of exercise I can think of but nothing compares to weights when done right. I will continue to pump iron until the day I die.

I've been training 20 years now and I'm enjoying it more than ever - for as long as I feel I'm making progress and have goals and stay injury free then I'll keep plugging away at it. A few years back I did get a bit disillusioned and hung up the belt and wraps for a while but the break did me good. I'll probably train in some capacity until the day I die.

A warrior breaks into the gym if it's closed!! :P

I have extremely limited time but still manage to eat good and get in 3-4 workouts a week. Hopeless natural who hit the wall years ago but I'm glad that I am able to train and maintain.

Never ever quit. If you had stuck with it, it would have been the best rush ever by now (non perverted, more like meditation).

What a damn shame man.

Don't do this.

Exactly. As you get older your priorities change. You start to not care about how jacked you are. Start to care moreaboutjust living a good life, life being successful, accomplish things in spirituality instead of physique.

Also when you get older,woman care a LOT more about money and power, a lot less about looks.

A dude can have a body lime David hasselhoff or George Clooney and the women still like it. Skinny fat is good enough. Although i do stay in shape with sports and hard work.
