Gym Etiquette - Was I Wrong Here?

[King Shizzo]

Did you take drugs to get in this shape?

Looks 10x better than bhank. Bhank must be doing it all wrong.

[King Shizzo]

I would like to do a little studying of Islam now.

Will I be welcome to the mosque as a curious White man?

And look at that photo...see what the plandemic joke did to me? That photo was my first month back in the gym after the joke plandemic.

I look forward to surpassing this photo:

Even your poses are autistic.

We should have another Mr. Getbig contest.

I'd bet any money that B. Hank would place top three - if not win it.

Top 3 in the Mr Getbig contest would be totally worth having a BP of 180 and resting HR of 100.

And running a full blown drug stack to deadlift 275 lbs for 10 reps.  😂😂😂

Women who are natural can lift that.

Are retards always chronic liars? Because Matt Canning and Brian Wood Healy Hankins sure are.

Hahahahahaha….

Making friends with dudes who talk to you after they supposedly watched you work out in your wife beater...

Look at Aspy Matt Canning’s shoe and sock ensemble and tell me he’s not a bunny boiler.

He's gayer the watching a Rocco porn movie to see Rocco...


...wait, oops that what he does!...

He admitted that he went to a book signing to get Ron Jeremy’s autograph.

Nothing creepy about that….🙄

[Rambone]

Will we ever settle whether Matt was wrong or right?

Hey man, it's Pride Month!!

Plus...I hate to be that guy...but hey, I have a Black friend. But seriously, I loathe being called racist, and this dude can confirm I am not racist. For whatever his opinion is worth.

Nice guy too.

I don't think it's that it's so impressive that I do a Circus Dumbbell using 110-lb for reps...but for a man of my size, I guess people think it's impressive seeing me train.

And I've come to the conclusion that the reason some people at my gym have been impressed with my lifts is because I'm just a normal weight dude lifting decent weight.

This was the top lightweight in Canada - Dain Wallis. Though I think he is retired from the sport - he is the only guy in my weight class who I am aware of who has beaten me on Circus Dumbbell for reps:

I'm really looking forward to seeing how much I improve in this cycle. But maybe I should not push it, to avoid injury. But the current u-80kg Circus Dumbbell record in Canada is 155-lb, and I'm confident I can beat that. I also think I can do that without PED's.

So my long-term goal is a 160-lb Circus Dumbbell at 176-lb body weight. I think I'll be doing only 8-12+ reps during my cycle though...just to lift in the hypertrophy range.

[Matt]

Will we ever settle whether Matt was wrong or right?

Seems about 50/50!

So since it wasn't a consensus that I was in the right, I won't be doing it again when that dude is around, at least.

If I stop resting the dumbbells on the bench, it will be to not damage the upholstery.

I will also talk to the owner, just to confirm.

That was the least impressive display of lifting I have ever seen

[Matt]

Really?

That's a 125-lb dumbbell. Keep in mind, he weighs 172-lb.

He won the lightweight Strongman Canadian Nationals in 2016...and I believe in 2017 also.

There were some heavyweights who only got a few reps more than he did. In fact, if I recall correctly, there was one heavyweight out-weighing him by 100-lb who only beat him by three reps there!

I find that people are too critical online.

I think you would win another Mr. Getbig contest if we had one, B. Hank.

[Matt]

Check out this Getbig blast from the past from Getbig board treasure Van Bilderass!

gh15, do you know of any pros who have gotten problems with glucose control or become diabetic after playing with insulin?

^^^ Exactly what I was wondering, 15 years later - lol!!

No I am being serious it didn't look like he was even struggling and not using his strength to press it just kind of using momentum and bouncing it with his legs. I would not consider that lifting at all. What muscle group is that effectively training? None

[Gym-Rat]

Its not a display of lifting. Do you know anything about Strongman or PL?
You dont seem to, though you have much to say and criticize it.

Typical drug-filled pumper and poser...
And yes, 500 mg's is a cycle, especially year-round. Drop the drugs you deflate 10-15 of water-weight.

Dont you know weightlifting is more technique than actual muscle strength
The goal is to move the weight not isolate the muscle

[IroNat]

Honestly, B. Hank - if we had another Mr. Getbig contest, you would likely win it, based on how members look TODAY.

Not today...but this hour...this minute...this second.

Cycle by definition means starting and stopping so by definition anything you do year-round is not a cycle regardless of dosage. I swear you people have no reading comprehension skills and don't understand basic English.

That dude is not strong he is 172lbs weakling throwing a dumbell over your head using your legs and then locking out your arm doesnt make you strong having actual muscle makes you strong

Stop pretending you are ignorant, Bhanky.

Well - he is by no means the strongest man around [he competes at u-80kg / 176.3-lb - same class as me, lightweight], but he is legitimately the strongest manlet strongman I have ever met.

I have yet to see another manlet do strongman events like he is!

My powerlifting total was nothing spectacular - around 315/405/495, or just north of that - but because strongman focuses on overhead presses and not bench press, and also focuses on side handle deadlifts as opposed to conventional deadlifts, and on top of that had movement/stamina component, I just found it better for me personally.

Dain's personal view was similar - not to knock powerlifters, but he also liked the athletic nature of competition.

No doubt there are lightweight powerlifters who have more static power than Dain, and many bodybuilders who are heavier are stronger also, I'm sure. But as far as strongman events go, I have never personally met anyone under 200-lb as strong as Dain. I can think of two 200-lb'ers who are about as strong, but most people I know who are that strong are at least 230!

Again - he's not the strongest dude, but is impressive for a lightweight, IMO!

^ Weight classes matter! In 2014 and 2014 in my city's strongest man contest u-200-lb we had 250-lb implements in the Farmer's Walk! The heavyweights used 300-lb per hand! At World's Strongest Man, they go up to about 400-lb per hand.

Competing in contests way over my weight class helped me a lot.

[bhank]

You are so wrong it's hilarious.

Can you really be as ignorant as you seem?

The fuck does a skinny old man know about it? Moving weight is a matter of training and fiber recruitment leverage momentum CNS recruitment skill and endurance lung capacity etc etc strength is a matter of muscular size. When your muscles get larger you get stronger its that fucking simple. You can argue all you want about some small dude lifting a lot but regarldess of what you lift if you add muscular size you lift more. Think of muscular size as the engine and lifting as all the modifications you can do to tweak it to get as much HP as possible. The Big block is always going to have much more potential for tweaking without blowing the fuck up. The big block is stronger than the bored out small block redlining about to blow a fucking gasket.

Again no idea how some skinny fuck is going to tell me I am wrong I have been doing this a long time. I have seen all kinds of athletes and all kinds of lifting and strength training programs I have also actually felt real applied strength wrestling. The general consensus on strength is wrong. It is not about how much weight you can train your body to move in one direction for one rep using every trick in the book to make it easier.

You are a dumb sh*t.

Every time you post your nonsense it confirms your dumbness.

Keep right on digging.
