Really?  How much have your best lifts gone up in the last year?  Five years?  Ten years?

Honestly, you've always come off as someone who is trying to convince himself with all the iron eulogizing... How can you be so over the top in love with something you do every day and still so clearly miserable at the same time? We've all seen the vitriol you spew in practically every thread.  And how about the loneliness you've brought up on multiple occasions?

Don't you ever wonder if, by building your identity around lifting, you've caused these problems for yourself?

And how fitting that moron gimmick would bring groink into this thread.  One time he said something like "if I wasn't getting anything out of lifting I would have moved on a long time ago".  I remember how hard it was for me to imagine myself thinking the same, back then.  But today, the thought doesn't seem so alien.

I'm not miserable. You have never met me face to face.

Barring injury, I am right on schedule to hit a 700-pound squat, raw, Olympic style, drug-free, by the time I reach 50.

Eat that, chuck.

the key is to kill it everyday everyday.... till simething negative inevitably comes out if it

when these negative things happen...
do you adapt with drugs? =stupidity
less of a kill it attitude?=stupidity
eat more meat?=stupidity
messing around with meals?=smart




food is the molecules that shape your health for the better or worse


At least that is something you believe, but on the other hand, you are an idiot, so who the fuck cares what you believe? A semi or full time alcoholic who is messing around with meals and eating smartly, while smoking weed and wondering why eating fucking vitamins doesn't help with pain in lower back? Only reason why you aren't in some mental institute is the fact that you are too stupid to understand that you are sick.

This in a nutshell, or as a shorten version because we love to train/workout

It's been a challenge for me to come back from near death 2 years ago, and I still have a long way to go, but I love that tiny little miniscule amount of progress or even maintenance I make on a daily, monthly basis.

Cephissus, you focus way too much on the negatives concerning working out/nutrition etc, focus on the positive like Judochoke has mentioned for example
If you dont mind me asking..... What happened, what was going on?

There is always progress to be made. The same goes with all facets of life. The first step, is coming to grips with your current situation. Are you happy with yourself? If not, then what is holding you back? If you are at peace, then you are free to enjoy the little things in life.
I am forced to fully agree with Shizzo for the second time this evening.

doesnt have to be progress.

how about you feel different lifting heavy rather than light.

how about you enjoy being in the gym so why would you be there twice rather than 4 times a week? why would you cut your enjoyment in half? there's lots of reasons for going to the gym.

Muscle memory: the fading bodybuilders goal.......that will never deliver.
I have been out of the game for +10 years but each year I have a couple of weeks of madness in were I start to workout again. And every time I grow like a weed.... This giving me the assurance of musclememory and the fact that a comeback is possible. Thats enough for me so after those couple of weeks I quit  ;D

I'm 32 and I can't stop getting nagging injuries first it's bulging disks in my neck then sciatic nerve problems then tendinitis in the elbows. I feel like an old man some days I've only been training heavy for 10-12 years I can't imagine how I'm going to function at this rate in another ten years. I already had to give up squatting and heavy incline presses.

Been taking msm for joints and it works amazingly well last two weeks I've pretty much been pain free I had to stop taking so much advil and naproxen.

Well, he has this piece of paper, a memo he has to keep with him and look all the time: in one side of it reads "inhale" and "turn page" and another side is "exhale" and "turn page". He just happens to hold that paper with his thumb over the words "turn page"..we have lost good getbiggers by this kind of accidents, but fortunately all he had was "near death experience"..  ;D

That shit ruins your liver and kidneys.  I know people who take this stuff like candy... they're going to regret it later.
