Why your numbers mean next to nothing...
« on: May 01, 2008, 05:15:06 AM »
For those who like to pontificate about their physical 'accomplishments'

"Numbers have nothing to do with how you look. Getting hung up on numbers is analogous to not seeing the forest for the trees.

If numbers are useful at all it's only  when they are correlated with photos (thus, for those of you who post here without photos and boast...your boasting rings hollow).

You must learn not to rely on numbers when it comes to ascertaining your degree of physical development.

Photos are the most useful measurement of apprearance we have.

There are two types of people in the worls:

-Those who look better than the image they see in the mirror (typically this is what people with low self-esteem experience) and those who look worse than what the mirror reveals to them( those with big egos fall into this category).

The way you see yourself is a product of your belief system.

You see wht you expect to see.

Very closed to what I was at 40...only a few years ago...and I have posted them, too.

You should not be 'tired' Jae, if you are in shape.

And I applaud you bc at least you did post your pics...can't say the same for many here.

Jaejonna, you are a good American and you are up for inclusion on the LIST.

Wrong. I am a firm believer in increased weight and or reps correlate with increased size and muscle appearance/definition. Benchpress 225 for 3 sets of 10 for eternity and never even try to add weight or reps and you will always look the same. Add 100 pounds to the bar for the same reps, and you are bound to be much larger. Increase in strength always equals increase in size. I have yet to meet a man that can bench over 400, squat and deadlift 600-700 that wasn't impressive physiclly in appearance. I have met many who use the same weight/rep scheme every workout,week after week, year after year who look the same all the time. The above quote may be okay for an individual who has lifted for many, many years, but for everyone else, its pure sh$t.

If numbers mean nothing,why does EVERY single bodybuilder [other then Ronnie]lie about the weights they lift?Apparently,numbers mean a great deal to those who lift weights.
