yeah, i guess for the first time in my life, i'm feeling a serious time crunch... or maybe justification to leave home during those precious 4 family hours each night.   I see why so many ppl get married and get fat... not making excuses, i'm still eating and training. it's just not automatic on the schedule anymore.

Yeah, I can imagine that getting married and especially having kids would throw off most peoples schedules. Though, as long as you manage to get to the gym, then its all good :)

Without a doubt, training is harder.

Especially when working with lifting gear (suits, shirts et al). Training for 3+ hours, and the body starting to ache in the end, from both the lifting and the tight suits, wraps and shirts.

To get to gym, it's a breeze in comparison.
take all that crap off and just lift with your own body. and why would you train for 3+hours? no wonder your body aches!
for me training is nothing but enjoyable, if it werent i wouldnt do it.

I agree. This was a scenario between me and my girl the other day.

girlfriend-"hey stud, come over here and make sweet love to me"
me- "what the fuck, i cant. I have to go to the gym and come home and post on Getbig"
girlfriend- "but..but....i am spread eagle for you"
me- "listen bitch, I am close to 500 posts which will make me closer to a 1,000. If you don't leave me alone, i will bitch slap you"
girlfriend- "you have to choose: me or Getbig.com"
me- "take a hike sweetcheeks, im on a role, 400+ post"

getting to the gym for me, my gym is only two blocks away walkling and I still procrastinate. They are moving it soon 7 blocks away, to 42nd street, , what am I going to do? Im afraid I will never go. I asked them if they would provide a free rickshaw service to take me back and forth but they refused.

I was reading another thread about how some people hate training.

For me, I love training.  The hardest thing is getting in the car and getting to the gym.  Once I'm there, it's a breeze. 

Anyone here have this problem?  Training is always great once you set foot in the gym door... the hardest part is getting in the car to drive there?


Whats wrong with your home gym, got any pics? what have you got. I just use a barbell and cage, can do 1000 excersizes. Why bother going to the gym. You dont even need machines for calves, just buy a thick dictionary and your calves will grow.

Its great having a homegum, very convinient, you can train in your shorts, turn up the heat, turn up the music you like and save money in the long run. Also great as collecting, you can buy some nice dumbells too.

240 are you setting up an excuse here not to do mr getbig III?

1) I never said I was doing the show
2) I cannot compete since I am the guy who edits everyone's pics.  With $2000 first prize money, you can't have one of the competitors in charge of all the pics.

since he doesn't train hard he wouldn't know that.
I thought robby z had a million dollar house and a home gym....plus work outs at 3-4 different clubs?
nothing changes very accomplished liar he is.

yeah, it was easy to go when i drove to work/school everyday.
now that i work from home, it's hard to make a trip that far just to lift.

God you would think you would be delighted to get out of the house.  I dont see how people can always "work" (cause its far from real work) from thier home.  I would get stir crazy.  Makes you feel very tired and lethargic always being in the same place like that.  Plus add to it a screaming brat and a wife who is getting so sick of seeing you 24/7 and you her and I would be running out the door.
