A get big old FART needs some gym motivation
« on: October 03, 2006, 04:37:42 PM »
I keep this brief and light hearted. Looooooooonnnngggg story- short, I just don't feel much of a drive to workout like I used to. I know a contest date next spring would do the trick, but, I am all blah  :D
I am 47, did over 35 shows from '78-94. I always vowed I would hit the masters nationals and  my state when I got older, but lately all I have been hitting is the buffet .

Roast me, inform me or share some advice. Thanks   Howard, fartin' in the same chair in Ga :o
Sorry to recycle the hippo posedown, but it was all I had handy on my laptop.

yeah but so is my waist :o I am a belly in training  LOL.
I gotta commit to a diet  LOL, but fear that action may commit me to the loony bin.
I left the contest stage over a decade ago without any big impact on the bodybuilding world LOL.
I sometimes get a wild hair on the old azz and want to hit another show, then, I wake up and come to my senses, burp, fart and go eat some more.

Thanks and I am bit bigger right now, but seriously I was NOT fishing for any comments on this silly hippo pic.

Well at least you've done the first step... you have a goal!  Use it.  Let next year's show be the carrot on the stick and every time you think about cheating on your diet or not training think about what your competition is doing.... are they cheating and not training?  Nope.  They are hitting and hard and staying on the straight and narrow.  If you don't do the same you'll never beat them.  Or....

Put a picture of past winners or guys that placed second last year (they'll be back) on your fridge as a reminder of what you have to beat.

Get your blood work done if all OK load as you have in the past just take a little more than last time and eat clean.Once you start to feel and look better think about your comp and then get more blood work done and if all OK ask yourself is it worth it and do I want to do this.If you answer yes and your health is good go for it.

Dude, forget traiing..enjoy the good life

whenever you feel like working out just look at your calves and say "still got it"

think of this period  as "off, off season"
now order that pizza with extra cheese and if you feel guilty order a 2 liter diet coke.
Here comes the money shot

Howie maybe your goals have changed?  Maybe the sport you once loved is not all you thought it was.

But that does not mean you cant get yourself in shape.  Will probally make you feel better, do it for yourself.

Dude,

Jerking off does not constitute training. It takes 30 seconds and burns 3 calories. Trust me, I've done the research.  Howie here is my plan for you:

FIVE-STEP PLAN FOR HOWIE TO GET HIS GROOVE BACK

1. Drink lots of water, take 6 colon cleanser pills each day, and tell your wife not to f-uck you until you've lost 50 lbs. Open new business account and begin siphoning money off to hide.
2. Get back those two inches your penis lost to the fatty folds of your man-pouch while improving your self-esteem. Keep putting money away into your "special" account.
3. Flirt with cute teen girl at local Blockbuster and imagine tearing that ass up. She won't hump an old fatso that's fer sure. Meet with an attorney and tell him you're considering divorcing your wife. Ask him to outline financial strategy for you.
4. As you lose weight, notice how banging the Blockbuster girl and the waitress at the local pizzeria who puts extra grilled chicken on your dry pasta becomes an actual possibility, given the correct timing. Tell your kids that mommy and daddy are going through a "difficult time".
5. Now that you're a lean, mean muscle machine, f-uck the shit out of every girl you can. When you get caught, blame wife for "depriving" you of your manly needs. Get that divorce and start a new life with the "secret" account. Now you have to stay lean because: (a) You have no one who is contractually obligated to f-uck your fat ass; (b) Chicks won't believe that lie about being 34 with that beer gut and the receding hairline; and (c) You don't want to keel over and die of a heart attack the first time you bang a 19-year old at your age.

Good luck Iron Brother!

Howie - just hit some juice.

Don't worry about laws.  I'm sure it won't be hard for you to score enough for a cycle.  Obviously don't go posting about it on here under your real name - I definitely would, but that is because I am highly morally opposed to big brother telling me what to do.  I would sooner go to jail than have to hide the fact I am doing the illegal act of putting something in my body.  Rest assured, if I juice it will be written on here and on my website with pics of the juice and everything.  Like I said, I would sooner go to jail than let the government take away my freedom to choose.

But seriously, hit some juice.  I'm sure you have before.

I am going to assume you are mostly serious here. You are correct, the LEGAL issues are t me the main issue with taking steriods. I appreciate you honesty and condor however, that is pretty rare.
In my case ANY illeal drug use of any kind would not even be a consideration. The career setbacks and other headaches are just not worth it.
All the best, Howard

LOL, the pleasures of living in gulag USA (or whichever shithouse you reside)

Howie, baby, get on some juice, its the obvious choice

Look, you can do one of two things:

one, get on some gear

two, you can place higher priority on the seriously remote chance of being caught whilst using, rather than placing your concern on areas that deserve your attention, them being, the very real fact that your missus has probably started to view you as an ageing fat fuck that pisses her off due to the fact that she could be out getting some young cock rather than your old ass

Howie maybe your goals have changed?  Maybe the sport you once loved is not all you thought it was.

But that does not mean you cant get yourself in shape.  Will probally make you feel better, do it for yourself.

My wife feels this may be the real truth. As some have already stated , I go back on forth on this and have for a few years now. I don't mind anyone ragging on me for this, it is true. The thing is NOW, I am point in my life where I have access to awesome gyms and the financial and emational security to do the sport my way with no compremise. I love the sport, but, for me now, the end all deal of getting a trophy or beating other guys on stage is VERY little motivation these days.
What I do actually miss is :
1. Feeling good that I have the disciplne to log my food daily and stay on a diet.
2. Stripping down back stage, ripped and ready, feeling like a real bodybuilder pumping iron.
3. The feeling you get when you first walk on stage with your class, turn and face the judges.
4. Putting on the protan crap, the last couple days as I dehydrate and see those last cuts and dteails come out.
5. Doing an ab shot and looking ripped. It is pretty cool to just lift up the ol gym short and give a quick side ab shot, if another musclehead asks me what kind of shape I am in.
6. Sounds corny, but being "on a mission" with a contest on the horizen is something that always gave my training a real kick in the butt.
 ;DOh man, whoever posted that butt shot of the hot darkhaired babe in jeans , THANKS!!!! Woah is she ever my type yee haaaa.

Nice reply and trust me I have no problems with moderate personal useage of "the gear". It is just not my thing, I got my full blood work up a couple years ago and all my key levels were in the ideal. I just would NOT want to mess with that. Plus, I am a pureist, I don't think guys should do bench meets with those special bench shirts either.
I am no natural fanctic, I figure it is all a personal decision in the end ( outside of the legal issues).
I just felt that on a personal level I always wanted  to do things in a reasonable way and see what my body could do, etc. We all like hearing compliments or feeling the babes like how we look, for me that is only the tip of the motivation iceberg.

This post is the "other kind " i was expecting here at get big and it is priceless, I am still cracking up, you are really clever ED. I love the pic but felt the line about some other babe not contractually obligated will do me.
Funny man, , that lifted my spirits, thanks.  H
