The price of being too big

[QuakerOats]

Yes, I was. What does this have to do with my competition lifts? Last week I squatted 612 for three. Again, what does this have to do with anything related to what is done at a meet?

The record for a raw and drug-free squat in the IPF is something like 740. I hope to do seven in late January.

With multi-ply gear, a monolift and drugs I could, within six months, and being conservative, squat 900-1,000.

Hope this helps.

lol, another guy who thinks that if he puts on a squat suit or bench shirt his lift will improve 300 pounds the first time he wears it, i trained with a guy who squatted 765 at 165, now THATS world class strength, PM me if you want his name, you can look it up.

At 6' and 236 with abs I feel great.

Jealous much?

Sorry your efforts in the gym haven't yielded much.

Oh, I'd be "fat" in your eyes, but then again, for many here, an offseason pro bodybuilder is fat, so ... I am roughly the bodyfat I was in the offseason back when I pursued bodybuilding, competitively.

I am prepping for my provincial championships in late January. In May I will likely compete in my first national championships.

Something's moving the weight (I compete raw/classic, so it's not gear). Muscle would be the most obvious answer.

You're a jealous tiny tit who is pissed your pursuit of muscle has resulted in less-than-impressive gains. Don't blame me for your a) shit genetics, b) useless consistency, c) ill-advised workout programs, d) failure to win the "battle of the fork", e) ALL OF THE ABOVE.

I feel sorry for you.    

Ahahahah, lot's of excuses here.

Just face it, you're a fat turd.

Thanks, man. MuscleMag was a good time. Spoke with Bob and Johnny Fitness a couple of weeks ago. They're well. However, the magazine business is HURTING. Let's hope MMI can hang in there.

Johnny Fitness. That guy was a hoot. He didn't look like he pumped anything except kegs of beer. Did he really lift? I thought he was a work horse that would put it all together more then a hard core fitness guy.

I was hooked on Musclemag for a long time. Bob was into the natural beach bodies, and good old pumping iron. He pushed Vince Gironda and that muscular look. I remember one time in downtown Toronto, Bob actually stages posing exhibitions out on the sidewalk. He had some local bodybuilders posing and people walking by would be like WTF? Lol. It was interesting. Bob was really into bodybuilding, he ate it, and breathed it.

I stopped reading the magazine once Paul Gardiner took over with the stupid Muscetech ads. The magazine became everything it used to be against. Shitty, overpriced supplements taking over everything. Like all the other miracle supplement ads it was nothing more then a scam. Some guy letting himself go to shit off the juice, then going back on hitting clen, and dieting.Gardner seems like the con artist type. It's very unfortunate that Bob would embrace such a person.

  I checked out Muscle mag at a chapters in Toronto recently. I wouldn't buy it for 99 cents. It must have been hard for Rob after his son sustained the head injury when the Jag flipped and his wife jumped in front of the train. I guess the magazine business gets old after a while.

Did his wife commit suicide??  I used to subscribe to MM back in the days when Vince Gironda used to have a column, and that great "Venice Beach Gossip" with Steve Neece!!! After those ended (and others...) it just got TOO PHONEY to continue reading.....

That was my solution for years. Then I got married and the wife hated it. Had to get rid of it and the dreaded shoulder pain started. It got so bad I had to stop working out. I tried to restart a couple of times, but the pain was too much. A year later I have shrunk down to nothingness and me needing memory foam to sleep is an old memory. I now get comfortable anywhere, but I look like nothing.

I would have insisted on separate beds. Of course if your shoulder pain is gone and you can be sure it is because you stopped working out, that worth considering too. Although, I personally do not believe it is healthy to not work out in some manner at all. Of course, being "big" can have some distinctly bad side effects. I'd suggest you try for a happy medium and not make this an all or nothing at all situation.

Agreed. There is no reason to look like a total freak. I can easily see why people would want to though since gaining muscle is just so fucking addicting. I literally had to stop myself recently because I was gaining muscle like crazy and it was starting look bad, which defeats the whole purpose

You are already a big dude from what you've posted.

I suspect it is really easy to cross the line between being fit and muscular into being a freak. I think one clue is that freaks no longer fit in normal clothes. When one gets to the point that the only clothes they look good in is a thong, they have already passed into freakdom.

Being a fella who has consistently run away from the onetime skinny twink kid I started out as, I know firsthand how easy it is to lose sight of reality. When I am at the gym comparing myself to other huge guys and thinking I am not big enough yet and that they are normal and some fellow who is 5'10" and 180 pounds is wasted looking, I know my perspective is getting warped.

Recently, I have lost about 20 lbs. I feel a lot better and I am pretty sure I don't look scrawny at 205 lbs and 5'11". Another good sign is my clothes fit better and feel much more comfortable too....guess I can toss all those thongs. LOL!

EXCELLENT post that I can relate to in many ways.

Yes but I am at my ideal size IMO. I can easily get to 250lbs at my height of 5'10, but I just look better at 225lbs so I don't want to go drug shit crazy and add slin just to get a look that is inferior. Of course anyone that competes seriously is in a different category. Slinpimp for example is a huge guy that wants to be a beast on stage and that is great. But for guys like us who don't have interest in competing, it just isn't a good idea to keep going and losing touch of reality

[flinstones1]

If your the same alphamaledawg I'm thinking of  ..then  HOLY FUCK you've made ALOT of progress ..you look liike a different person, good for you.

either that or I have the wrong guy.....cause i could of sworn your avi resembled a twink 6 months ago  

[flinstones1]

now that I think about it that's probably one of the fastest transformations I have seen on a steroid board period....dude weren't you like 190 pounds not too long ago?

Considering that muscle is more dense and therefore weighs more than fat, 5'10" weighing in at 225 lbs. with hopefully a low bodyfat ratio should be about perfect.

Being as how I am a senior citizen, I might do better and be healthier weighing slightly less than you do. Although, I did like how I looked at 225 lbs. Wow, it's so easy to fall into the idea that big is great.

Yea I am sure it's me...I went from 180lbs natural to 222lbs and more conditioned/vascular in a little over a year with aas/hgh. Now I don't want to get any bigger for cosmetic and health reasons. I get comments all the time in person. feels good man

and yea maybe like 6 months ago, I was 190lbs after running some DNP. Then I started using tren and hgh and followed the bible

this is me yesterday post workout. I was like 230lbs in this pic because it wasn't in the morning. holding some water due to the bcaa drink and carbs right before. I'd look better if I had a tan
