Poll: should I stop (pretending to be) lifting weights and just give up?

[Deicide]

He has a certain point though. You should stop whining about how shity everything is and just MAKE IT BETTER.

Sitting around crying won't do shit, but getting up and doing sth is way better. Everytime you think i look like shit, you should do 1000 push ups and 100000 crunches, and you would be Mr Olympia 2011.

 

Weisst du ueberhaupt woher das alles stammt? Es entstammt der staendigen Negativitaet, der man tagein tagaus hier bei getbig begegnet. Getbig zieht einen total runter, macht einen nieder und nimmt einem jede Hoffnung. Es ist ein Riesenclub, der nur fuer den Zweck existiert, andere fertigzumachen und einem das Gefuehl zu geben, er waere nicht besser als Hundescheisse. Du weisst, dass was ich sage, der absoluten Wahrheit entspricht. Willst du dies bestreiten?

[Nordic Beast]

You're an arrogant prick but I am sure you already know that.

shall we all just tell you what you want to hear and feed that monster of excuse and despair you've been stroking

You've been doing it since day one...why stop now.

If you can't stand the heat, get your ass out of the kitchen.

If it drags you down, you should either try not to take it so serious or you shouldn't log in.

Your fat-phobia is unwarranted and, as mentioned earlier, I believe your actual priority is MASS.

I see no reason why you can’t slap on another 15-20 lbs just in time for football (NFL, that is ) season.

No, you will NOT be ripped at that weight. But, with more mass, overall, and the strength that comes with it, I think you could live with the results.
 
You didn't mention your height by the way. Let's assume you're 5'7". At 200 lb, you'd look and feel a lot better (that's my take, anyway).

Weisst du was das schöne an nem Forum ist??

Sadly, my death will bring little publicity. Any suggestions on how I could gain greater fame through an appropriately executed suicide?

Publicity was not the *bang* I was alluding to. You want 'fame!?' Can't help you there, bro.

Attentionwhoring by killing yourself is really pathetic.

Well, with a massacre you can get quite the publicity in a short period of time. Get a shotgun, step inside a school and shoot 15-20 people, after that kill yourself on the toilet.

I'll promise your name will be in the history books and on wikipedia.

Nice idea.

Maybe he should choose a bodybuilding show. Then he could scream "THG THG" while shooting all the guys on stage.

Alternatively killing a celebrity or politician would be an option as well, would reduce the number of victims for his fame to one (and the few unlucky ones who wanna withhold him from the deed of course).

The name Lee Harvey Oswald is still known decades after Kennedys death.

Good idea, Gordon Brown is done anyways, it wouldn'tdo much harm politically as well...

I guess you were right yesterday, this is the right thread. Who knew

[pumpster]

Yup it's probably time to discard a toxic combo of defeatist attitude and idea of hard training that was never more than a concept. In lieu of meditation, yoga and plenty of healthy cardio! Lots of long sleeves and covering up this summer will help assuage memories of a stillborn project.

Synthol should be another THG option.

Infamy!? He'll go down as the most hated man to post on Getbig, and that's saying something. Probably cause a host of problems for Ronaldo, too. Not cool.

How about a bowflex?

[StickStickly]

start juicing, I know I will in the near future.

THG turned into Team huge aryans!

Glad you have join the team

[Tapeworm]

Of course you shouldn't quit.  You're in better shape than most guys and you got there with effort, so genetics really wasn't a factor at all. 

If you're content to look worse than you do now for the rest of your life then quit, but you seem determined to make improvements.

There's a lot of positivity on getbig. Many posts regarding your physique have been encouraging, no?

[calfzilla]

You should give up weight lifting and take up running.  Get super lean.  Be healthy.  Plus the women you meet on the jogging trails will be more mentally healthy than the whores you will meet in the gym.

Jein, denn das Negative ueberwiegt das Positive bei weitem.

The good thing is all the negativity and hate makes me angry so I had some good lifts today.

I won't give up. I am not a quitter, never have been and as someone said, if I didn't lift at all I would look worse. Just got to keep on trying. I had some good lifts today.

Not true, show me a recent thread where this is the case.

That's good.

Good for you man, good luck on achieveing your goals.  But I wouldn't consider giving up weight lifting to become a runner quitting, it's more like using a different mean to achieve the same ends.
