How I'm keepin' bodybuilding FUN
« on: November 13, 2014, 09:15:36 AM »
I last competed 19 yrs ago and no longer care about getting a pro card.
I still enjoy working out and the overall lifestyle of bodybuilding, BUT, it can get boring.
My main issue now is motivation and consistent workout intensity.

Soooooo, I'm doing a few things to liven it up and keep it fun.

1. I got a membership to LA Fitness and Anytime Fitness ( 24 hr). This gives me access to over 50 different gyms within metro ATL.
I can work chest at 1 club and later hit biceps and abs in another with different equipment and atmosphere. The idea is to constantly change things up and keep it fresh.

2. I'm doing different forms of cardio and really challenging myself to push it harder on treadmill runs , stair climber machines , etc.

This is my own design of "cross training". My personal goals are to drop fat % and body wt, run in some area 5k's and compete in a local bodybuilding contest in the over 50 geezer class by next summer.

I'm also experimenting with new supplements that look interesting just to see what they actually do.

I don't know if it has ever crossed your mind, but you should consider a comeback to the competitive stage.

Also, would love to hear your thoughts on drug use in the sport - I don't think I've ever noticed how you feel about it, one way or another.   Thanks man!

Howard, do you apply your knowledge about physics in bbing? Like doing curls sitting on a bech to let the gravitational force diffuse out trought the bench instead of putting unnecessary pressure in your lower back? Does that even work?  ???

Yes. That is him.

He started the thread looking for a cuckold for his wife,however, he masked the thread title, "Rate my wife." We know his underlying intentions.

Ok! I was pretty sure he would get his card any minute.
Maybe hell chance his mind again and women

In that case, look out for me at the 2020 nationals when I go for the over 60 masters nats and the pro card that  goes with the win.

Fourscore and seven years go, I set out upon this getbig nation to rid the sport of drugs.
Today, I see us in a civil war . Iron brothers at war over the use of BB drugs.

In the spirit of nattvs juiced unity I will comeback and compete natty in an UNtested show .
Oh, but for the grace of GOD goes my biceps peak and quad sweep.

God bless bodybuilding and God Bless the Getbig Nation.  Amen. ;)

I have to say, it's pretty cool to lift in a wide variety of gyms with slightly different equipment every workout.
It's also fun to try various supplements that look interesting, just for the fuk of it.

Life's good for the ol' Howbeast.

As a result of his search, Wiggs is now raw and balls deep in Howard's wife.

LOL, I knew this thread topic would get a cavalcade of crazy and goofy replies.
That's just getbig and I've done the same thing myself.

BUT, I really a going to a variety of different LA Fitness and Anytime Fitness gyms now.
I even got some new Adidas running shoes with this cool shock absorbing struts on 'em.

Every  workout now is like playing in a new fitness "toy store" for muscleheads.

Could I hire Wiggs for some cuckold action with my wife?

So long as Wiggs allows me lay under the bed, I'm good with it. ;)

I gotta say, I usually hate working out in an unfamiliar gym.  Always takes me a couple of visits before I get comfortable with the equipment and layout.  Whatever keeps things fresh for you though

i really like the new atmosphere of a different gym, i agree with u tho about getting settled in,it takes afew workouts for me also.it kinda gets the spark going again sometimes when u hit a new gym and train,sometimes its just what the doctor ordered ;)

Goodrum would put up a good fight against Wiggs for the prize of Howards wife.
