What the hell is a "schmoe"

[BayGBM]

It's kind've amazing how a few elements can give a picture a complete homo element... I mean if I look at competition photos or gym pics i get motivated and want to train... but all the pics in this thread could be the cover of a gay porn.

I keep hearing this line over and over; after a while it sounds like a red herring.  Seriously, exactly how many photos like the ones above does one need to see in order to be motivated to train?  Do you really need a steady diet of such photos weekly?  Daily?  Aren’t the changes in your own physique that you see in the mirror enough to keep you motivated?  I find it hard to believe that gymrats need to see such photos and videos regularly to get themselves to the gym.

If you enjoy looking at muscle photos that's fine, but why pretend that you are doing so over and over, for years on end, in order to stay "motivated"?

A newbie to the gym can offer that line with sincerity, but no one here is looking at these images because they need "motivation."  The only reason to look at these images is because you are a schmoe (not that there is anything wrong with that).

But do you have to be a homosexual to be a schmoe? I don't think so

Technically no.  But collecting muscle magazines, videos, and attending shows, for years on end is not the avocation of men who are 100% heterosexual in my view.  When you do this sort of thing and you don’t even work out yourself… well, you can connect the dots on what that’s all about…

You ALWAYS have men there who DO NOT EVEN WORK OUT! (wtf do you think they are there for?)

Straight men do not want to spend their spare time looking at images like these...  Here’s a simple test: if you can recognize headless muscle torsos you have been at this for a while and are a confirmed schmoe.

Yes because everyone is secretly gay... right bay?

Usually when I train legs i'll think of a pro with huge legs and I want mine to look like that... if i'm squatting with no mental image of what I want my legs to look like then i'm not gonna be very motivated. You can ask any pro if they do this and they'll say the same thing.

That’s interesting.  Because when I train legs, I’m not fantasizing about anyone else’s legs.  I’m thinking about my form, my breathing, whether or not I can do another rep or add more weight, protecting my lower back, and jamming to the tunes on my ipod.

Whether or not you are secretly gay is a question only you can answer.

After viewing this thread, I feel guilty and dirty.

I'm going to take a shower right now

Yeah, so Ron Avidan and most getbiggers are not 100% heterosexual?  

People like you give gays a bad name by trying to shove your distinct sexual preferences down everyone's throat (no pun intended)

[johnnynoname]

what is this "secretly gay" thing anyway?

what is the point of being a gay if you're not out

shit, if i was gay, i sooo would be out and cash in on all the easy ass i would be getting

mind you, i'm well aware that bay will chime in and say something to the effect that I shouldn't be so high on myself (just cuz i don't look like "The Thing" which is what his ideal man looks like)

If i'm squatting and I just did 8 reps and take a couple seconds before I keep going i'll think about what I want my legs to look like and then keep going. If you don't get that then it's simply because you're not a bodybuilder.

Schmoe Buster should be able to describe a schome, waiting for his arrival.

I'll take a shot. To my knowledge:

1) A schmoe is someone who worships muscular women. Usually someone who doesn't even work out, but you'll see them at shows/events/pageants trying to get up close and personal.

2) Also, an admirer of male muscle (bbers). Again, someone who doesn't work out (some do however), but follows this industry very closely. Keeps up with pageants, attends, watches videos, etc. A lot of these guys are not necessarily "gay", but are bi-curious. They refuse to accept that they are into men, so they follow the IFBB and under the guise of "sport", get their thrills.


Basically, about 90% of GB. Especially those who see nothing gay about a hyper-muscular men, oiling up, dancing and posing, for a crowd of men, who cheer them on as they flex. 

Interesting last couple of lines. So what made you sign up to a site called "getbig.com" which exists to cater for this interest?

Aren’t you the fellow who stalked his way into Nasser’s life?  It is you whom are giving gays a bad name.

[gordiano]

So when I'm training my ass....should I be picturing Ronnie's?

Dead wrong.
When i see a extremely muscular and cut physique, i dont think about human body but think about machine or mutant.
Its like a car mania being crazy at the body line of Ferrari.
You are a homosexual and you dont understand it.
