Taking dumb risks to make muscle gains?

[Grape Ape]

And?

He said he's been a bodybuilder longer than most here have been alive, despite not having competed in over 20+ years. So I'm curious as to his definition of a bodybuilder because all of his posts are about those doing massive amount of drugs to compete, which he has apparently never done.

Who are his posts targeting, top amateurs or pros? Are his ramblings posted here going to change their minds? Are the members using drugs here pming  Howard messages of thanks for his revelations because they now see the error of their ways?

Does that make sense now?

Seems like you're thinking about this in great detail.

LOL, you got me.

You took the time to answer so I wanted to do the same, all homo.

I don't want to make this a natural or steroid bashing hysteria thread.
BUT, it seems to me a lot of my fellow meathedz take some silly health risks to gain muscle.

I just got back from the dentist and had a permanent crown put on ( back left molar).
It went well, but reminded me, how much of a pain in the ass it is, to get medical procedures.
For example, a few years ago I tore my Achilles tendon and had surgery to get it reattached.
The doc was great, but the lengthy recovery process sucked ass.

I never want to go under a surgeons knife again or endure some serious medical procedure again.
I'm perfectly happy now , walking on a gym treadmill and lifting on (mostly) Hammer machines.
Ronnie Coleman was incredible, but seeing him endure painful , hip and joint surgeries makes me cringe.

Along with the health risks is the $$$ pissed away on various potions and drugs.
I trained with an old gym bro, who took out a 2nd mortgage to fund his drug cycles for national contests.
He did ok, but missed turning pro and left competing feeling bitter.
Most thought he was hardcore ,but I secretly thought he was a dumb ass for doing it.

Over the past 15-20 years, I've wondered IF I should have given more to bodybuilding.
Today, I reflect back and am pleased I did it mostly on my own terms with few long term regrets.

Your thoughts?

I didn't read the shit you posted.

Fuck off anyway, you boring retarded kunt

All good bud.  I only answered because I thought you were someone else when I clicked.

I've accepted that every so often Howard gets bored and starts the same threads ad nauseum.

Cannot battle it anymore, it's just one of the things that happens here.

Ignore my above post.

Shut up Howard.

I competed in mostly state and Podunk level contests. Most of it was on few or no drugs and despite competing a lot, I never won anything of merit.

Ok, so what's my point ?
I've been on getbig and around bodybuilding for a long time.
I see the same dumb thinking constantly recycled with piss poor results and bitter feelings in the end.

I realize most won't listen or agree with me. But based on the number of even insulting replies, at least I touched a new nerves and made someone reflect on these issues.

[Howard]

Ignore my above post.

Shut up Howard.

What? Nothing wrong with real men enjoying the friendly task of lathering each other up after a hard workout.

Howard you take a beating and keep coming back.

I can respect that.

[Howard]

the fact you make this thread over and over, not just on getbig, but also on other forums, means you got severe psychological issues

get back on the sauce and make it happen, you washed up bastard

I still get on get big periodically for shits and giggles like most do.

Believe it or not my personal life is pretty sweet now.
Most wouldn't believe me,  so I won't bother  LOL

A lot of my posts are goofy recycled trolling. That's pretty lame , but wtf.
I've thought about making real posts, and just did in this thread on education.
Obviously  that's an even bigger waste of time.

You seem like a decent dude with the typical getbig asshole persona.

[Howard]

Howard you take a beating and keep coming back.

I can respect that.

Respect? I seriously doubt that.
I think you like ass raping any slob who keeps dropping the soap and won't leave the shower

Ok,  assume most here know about the movie ; " Rudy".
Cliff notes. Smaller guy loves football and dreams of playing for Notre Dame in the 70's.
Works in a steel plant for awhile, then enrolls in junior college .
Finally gets accepted for this Jr year and walks on to become glorified tackling dummy on scout team.
After all that, he gets to dress for one game and plays a few sec at the end of the game.

It's meant to be this huge inspiration to follow your dreams and they might come true.
I love the movie and saw it several times and came this alternate conclusion.

Rudy should have enrolled in some smaller Div III college with a football team.
He could have actually played in several games by his jr and sr years.
He still could have gotten a quality degree if he went to a decent school.
Plus, he wouldn't have had to endure so much hardship and abuse.

FYI, the real Rudy was carried off the field, BUT the truth isn't so glorious.
They looked at it as a joke due to his lack of talent and were pumped after beating Ga tech

never liked that movie, why was anybody inspired by a guy becoming a walk on and getting in for one play?

The movie does suck you in with the epic football scenes and dramatic music.
But, AFTER the movie, I reflected o his story and was more like your post.

It reminds me of a beat douche that chases his dream girl.
She keeps blowing him off , but he refuses to take no for an answer.

Eventually she allows him to take her to dinner before she marries another dude.
Pathetic.

exactly

dude wasted so much time just trying to get in for one play in a college football game where you don't get paid, i will never understand why people view it as a great story let alone great enough for a movie

was the movie made by a notre dame graduate?  they use the movie to attract recruits and enhance the mystique of notre dame

I have spend my share in surgeries and therapy due to training and hormone use. Looking back, i don't think i will do it very differently. I loved it at the time, still do.
