The price of being too big

[the trainer]

So you are 300lbs, but you run out of breath going up a flight of stairs, your joints ache, you are sweating in a ac room, you fart a lot and take 5 dumps a day and you are constantly stuffing yourself with food, now if you are a professional bodybuilder i can understand this is how you earn your living but for the average gymrat why would you want to put your body through this, is it really worth it to be that big

[makaveli25]

I agree im 6'0 and wouldn't want to be over 240.

[bradistani]

getting comfy in bed can be a 'mare.

Guess it's a powertrip... the larger than life blowup feeling must rock.

[the trainer]

It's worth it, your mother like it very much, you won't believe how she goes crazy in bed

how can you fuck anybody when your big fat gut is hiding your dick.

Now answer that one, "Raymondo".......

[Tito24]

not only that but you always have to prove yourself ten times over a small guy with people.

[ChevChelios]

You don't fuck anybody,other people fuck you with a strapon.True Adonis is a living statement,he can barely walk or dump after he met that lovely tranny named Jezebele.

I don't know, I've never been 300 lbs before.  265 is my biggest.  I've noticed that if I'm getting winded easily, I just need to throw in cardio a few times a week.  If my joints ache, well, that's a price you pay for doing anything that takes a toll on your body.  When I was playing basketball in college, my joints used to ache just as badly after several hours of practice.  Ok, sure, you fart and shit a lot.  If a few extra bathroom trips each day is enough to steer you away from your goals then I think you need to look at your work ethic.  I like to eat a lot.  I come from an italian family where large quantities of food have always been the thing so I never really view it as "stuffing myself", plus when you are on certain things, you are much more hungry and more often so therefore you want to eat more.

I'd be curious to see how many times I've made the following statement on this board, but here goes again:

Set your goals and act accordingly.  If you want to be a pro bodybuilder, you gotta accept what that takes.  If you just want to be a top notch gym rat, but don't want any of the little annoyances that come with it, then you need to find a balance and act accordingly to that.

Lastly, when you ask why someone would want to be so big?  It could be for many reasons ranging from competitive to mental health.  Why would people want to base jump or sky dive?  Why would people want to enlist in the military full well knowing that they could die at war?  Why does anyone do anything?  It's a matter of choice and doing what makes you happy.  Some people may not agree or feel as you do, but it doesn't mean that what you are doing is wrong.

Food for thought kids.

great post

Oh brother....

[dr.chimps]

Is it time for a I-can't-buy-my-clothes-off-the-rack thread already!? Time flies.

[deceiver]

I don't wanna get heavier than 85kg in off season, ever. What's the point? I'm Franco Columbu's height, he was around this bodyweight throughout his whole career. His size is sufficient for me But... I would like to squat 250kg and deadlift 300kg at the same time

[#1 Klaus fan]

Have to be hyoooge to be strong. 

[Dr Dutch]

Have to be hyoooge to be strong. 

I wonder what price Klaus has to pay in real life to be like he is.....

no.

i've been there. 312 at my heaviest.

the sweating for me was the worst part, and the feeling of always being full of food- you are constantly full. i didnt get joint pain but was always out of breath. mobility is crazily lacking- you'll have to put your feet on a coffee table to put your socks on, and you'll probably need to buy wider shoes as well, with loose laces so you can slip your feet right into them. washing behind your neck is very difficult. and when your in bed forget about being on top of your old lady- within 5 minutes of trying to hold your fat ass up so you dont squish her your doing the old alternating elbows thing- and then on both elbows, and then your a sweaty mess and cant breath. fuck that.

was it worth it? depends really. it was a goal i set so i had the satisfaction of achieving it. would i go back- never.

***i fully expect to see this post repeated on another board by guys like 'aesthetics' who can pretend like hes been there, just like he repeats everything else he reads so he can come off like he knows what hes talking about.

I hear that...X2

270 was my heaviest. hated it. maintained it for a month and said "fuck this shit"...when you sit in a chair, you are IN the chair and you don't want to have to get up again. You get the "old man" groan whenever you have to do anything remotely physical, and I felt like i had a midget hanging around my neck 24/7.

I couldn't imagine weighing 300+ 

[Fortress]

I am currently 294 and don't experience any shortage of breath, ever, don't sweat profusely and don't suffer mobility issues. Of course, I do crap a lot and find myself eating a majority of the time. But so what? My goal is superior, world-class strength.

I began lifting at 15 at 135 pounds and am now 41. Never stopped. Squatted from day one.

My body has had much time to get used to the ever-increasing bodyweight.

The biggest problem is your frame some people do not have the frame to carry 300lbs yet they force their body to do it, some people can support that weight so they do okay.

To each their own, some like swimming some like gymnastics, some like getting big, can't put a measure to this. My friend snapped both femurs getting ready for the Olympics years back in a skiing accident, yet this week he is going on a skiing trip, another a guy a read about got bitten by a shark while surfing,, of course he still surfs today. When you want something the price is irrelevent, so yes it is worth it for some
