Desire old fashion lifestyle other than lifting and getbig

[Teutonic Knight]

I don't have a TV since '94, so only when I visit someone who's watching, like women who love those crappy soaps.

TV is 4 porno DVD's only 

[Big Chiro Flex]

The way the world is headed I am sickened by most modern things. Here is what I desire for myself:

-continue to go to the gym and post on getbig.
- limit internet (aside from getbig) and cut out TV. Well I pretty much have cut out TV so continue with that.
-move to a rural or semi rural house. Prefer a cabin, small farmhouse or chalet.
-grow many of my own vegetables. Cook nightly from scratch and cook over open flame using cast iron skillet and Dutch oven.
-limit buying of new technologies. Use old tools and technologies that are superior.


    Do any getbiggers have similar aspirations?

Love to tend to (y)our garden someday.

Every day I go to work I pass a beach where a bloke has been living in a van for almost a year.

I often wonder what my life would be like if I did the same.

But who needs a DVD these days?

I had a physics teacher once who said: "everything is bad in excess". I think he was right. Drinking too much water can kill you, being too social can make you feel stressed.

I do not believe in an old school lifestyle without TV or internet, but I believe everything should be enjoyed in moderation. If anyone is interested in bad consequences of excess hedonism, then I would recommend this book: Martin Amis - Money

It's like you've read my mind. I recently got rid of social media, massive amounts of cable channels, and am looking for a farm as a weekend getaway. Maybe the collective consciousness is sick of this life, and there will be a move back to simpler things.

Watching Netflix on my projector (100' display) whilst lying in bed with my broad = life.
Fuck you and your farm.

Your beach of choice would be in Uganda.

It would likely be pretty boring.

Need lots of books

Except stalking, of course.

[calfzilla]

Need lots of books

Keeping it bodybuilding related I'm thinking about training old fashion. I have a pretty elaborate home gym. It's almost 1400 sq foot. Told my wife I was thinking about working out in a commercial gym for a change and she got me 3 month membership to this monster size gym. It's been fun but the thrill is leaving except for the hot women wearing tiny shorts and those panty hose leggings.

What I think I may do is get a set of power blocks or Iron master dumbbells and a bench. Why am I doing 3 different bicep exercises right now and 6 for legs? I just might go old school and train the whole body in one shot or at the most upper body and lower body.  Just one or two exercises a body part. Just simple basic training. I watch my son's Brazilian jui jitsu instructor. He's from Brazil and he just runs and does body weight stuff like push ups, dips, pull ups and other stuff. The guy is in real shape and not bodybuilding cosmetic shape. As bodybuilders we make it to complicated. I really don't think we have advanced that much since the 50's regarding training except for the drugs that are used.

It would be such a hoot if the changes in bodybuilders' appearance was all due to drugs and not exercise related at all. A lot of folks do seem to over-train. I'm doing pretty basic stuff myself presently, but I doing a three day split instead of exercising each muscle group three times a week.

Personally, I like going to the gym. When training at the gym it's all business with little interruption. At home, everything seems to get in the way, like the phone rings or someone comes to the door, etc. The gym where I go is not one of those "fluff" gyms were folks seem more interested in checking each other out than working out.
