I saw 50 Cent's transformation into a skinny mother fucker and it inspired me.
It doesn't take any balls to lift weights hard. Fueling the ego, the insecurity, the narcissism. Indulging like a pig.
What really takes HUGE balls is walking away from it all and saying "fuck it, i'll just let it be." quiting this compulsive weight lifting thing like a junkie quiting the heroin.
Tonight I had an awesome Kundalini Yoga class. By the end of it I was dripping sweat and felt absolutely amazing. Great full body workout.
Instead of eating like a pig and lifting weights. For one month, i'm gonna do the yoga 5 or 6 times a week, ride a bicycle a lot, and just eat healthy.
I want to see how my body changes, how my mind changes, how I feel.
We shall see where it gos my brothers. Let the experiment begin......

Perhaps you should try actually lifting weights for one month first................... .........

What do mean "quit"? I never knew you even started.

:D
anyway, just do 1 hour of cardio a day.
-
arent you already a "skinny mother fucker"?
-
I did that although I didn't do any cardio or yoga etc. Just felt like ass for the most part because you get smaller and softer all at once. lol

Brutal shrinkage.

Hey flexb, how quickly did it happen? Did it happen after 2 weeks or so, or did it take a whole month to shrink and lose strength?
-
Probably a better experiment for all of us is for Shi-ka to stop posting on GB for a year.
Familiar with Kundalini classes. Only thing hard to learn at first is the Breath of Fire and a few simple locks/holds and stretches. Also the Pranayama exercises. But can give a good workout to the people not use to any physical training.

dude if your big enough, the main reason you lift is to prevent losing your hard earned mass. are you even huge?

Really? that big?

Ship, couldn't you use those classes to help you have a better mind-body synthesis? Afterall some people lift, not for the ego, but merely for the discipline, and develop a spiritual upliftment of sorts. After all, true balance is mind, body, and soul. Each one being a fulcrum for the other. To focus singularly on one and ignore the others creates a lack of balance. Which is probably why you think not lifting is going to do some good.

Kundalini is not really about the physical workout, it's about the spiritual benefits and opening the chakras. It really works your flexibility though.
If I want to get a physical workot from yoga i'll do some flow yoga or put in my Rodney Yee Power Yoga DVD.
Hot yoga is the most hardcore and brutal. Most of the guys in here wouldn't handle 10 minutes of it. I've seen lots of musclehead goons walk into the hot yoga studio and almost have a heart attack after 5 minutes.
Also yoga is full of hot women. Weight lifting is a sausage party.

I agree.
But to me, weight lifting is really not very spiritual. It's more like the opposite of spiritual because there's so much vanity, ego and attachment to to body involved in it. I think the spirituality involved in weight lifting is pretty shallow. It's there but it's pretty superficial. Compared to yoga practice or closed eye meditation it's nothing.
The bodybuilding diet is not very healthy either. Constant heavy foods and high protein. The bloating and gas....
I think the healtheir way is to eat a lighter diet, lower in protein, more fruits and veggies. And focus more on cardio health and deeper meditative excercises. Keep the body toxin free instead of constantly comsuming toxins.
Lately I just havn't been giving a fuck about getting huge either. I'm getting a little older and wiser, and to me the whole getting huge thing is starting to seem really immature and lame. Very douchebaggish.

Trust me life was more fun under 240 and with a smaller waist. ;)
Of course it wasmy fault. I last competed in 1995 and have been carbing up ever since...I think I spilled over...way over :'(
-

Hell yeah i'm huge. When I walk out the door with my guns showing people run scared and shit their pants. Yo i'm a badass.

In the fall of 2008 I stopped lifting for 2 months. Just had a lot of shit going on! Boy was it a bitch getting back into it. Everything came back to me pretty fast, but its pretty depressing watching your body go and climbing that steep part of the hill!
Hoping to never have to take an extended break like that ever again!

Don't you ever get sick and tired of the constant feeding and training and all the time and effort you have to put into it? Sometimes it's like a ball and chain. Everyday you gotta eat for it. Every week you gotta train for it.
One reason why i'm doing this is because next year i'm gonna go backpacking around Asia and Africa for a few months. So that's a few months without training and probably eating inconsistently. So i'm just gonna jump into the world of not lifting a little bit earlier since i'm going to be doing it anyway.
When you're a traveler. It's hard to do that gay bodybuilding thing.

lf, like many others, you have been unknowingly overtraining , you will find 100 percent that your weight will increase and you will be significantly stronger than you are now once you resume. I give you my word.

Why don't you quit posting for one month you fucking attention whore.

As many have already stated in this thread....You have to have muscle first before worrying about losing any....If Shipp lost anymore he would look like a cancer patient or Jew in a concentration camp....
-
Kundalini is not really about the physical workout, it's about the spiritual benefits and opening the chakras.
...
::) ::)
classic dumb fuck posting sheep shitski.
opening the chakras eh?..
spiritual benefits?..what exactly would they be considering the term "spirit" has never been officially defined..
-
Hey PJim, It's true that most people overtrain, but do you really think that they would come back bigger and stronger after 1 whole month off? In my own personal experience, I start to lose size and strength after roughly 3 weeks of no training, and I can only maintain my size and strength after 2 weeks of no training. And also, if I go 2 weeks without training my strength NEVER increases or improves, it just stays static. No losses, but no improvements either.

Openings the Chakras is a very really thing.
I'm not sure if I believe there are acutally points of energy. But you can definitely feel the different parts of your body "opening up". But i'm sure there is a physiological explanation for it.
The spiritual benefits I talk about are a quiet of the mind, feeling and satisfaction and contentment, a shift towards introspection etc.
If you don;t know what spirit or spirituality is, that's your problem. It's been very well defined. But of course the answer is not simple.

First of all he did that for a movie role to look like he was dying of cancer. He got himself down to 160 on a strict liquid diet (something I'm sure you're not gonna do) which at that point looked like he was near death. You probably aren't even 160 and you have nearly zero muscle so don't expect some BIG change. What's with all this buddhist bullshit from you and a couple of these team nasser fags? What the fuck are you doing on this site? How is it such a big challenge for you to walk away from lifting weights when you were never serious about it in the first place?

take it a step further....what takes EVEN BIGGER BALLS is to completely stop feeding your ego by haaving a car and a home...do you REALLY need nice clothes, a car and a house to feel secure about yourself.....take the ULTIMATE plunge in proving yerself secure and give it all to ME (i'm immensely insecure) and then be homeless....only THEN you would have proved to the world how absolutely secure you are ;)

And also, if I go 2 weeks without training my strength NEVER increases or improves, it just stays static. No losses, but no improvements either.
In essence it depends on the recovery ability of the individual, drugs and diet are other factors. I personally find that training once a week, interspersed with a random week off works like magic for me and I constantly make improvements on muscular bulk and poundage in the gym. Take for example the fact that I am not training until next thursday, which at that point would mean that I will have had a 3 week layoff from any exercise and as crazy as it sounds, 6 week gap for legs. I do pre-exhaustion for hammies and quads, I did my leg curls straight into hack squats with 7 plates a side last time with negatives being the focus but complete reps were close to a dozen. I shall report back to you on my inevitable improvement. As for your individual, exercise tolerance and recovery, that is something that you can only gauge by monitoring improvement whilst varying frequency of training, volume and intensity.

Maybe that's how it is among the high school and college crowd.
In the adult world I live in nobody really gives a shit about my muscles. They just care about how I do my job and take care of my business.

Those that care most about your muscles are perfect strangers and their validation is the most important thing we can strive for.
Keep the bodybuilding dream alive....it's all that matters.

In the country where I live now. Big muscles are considered ugly and women aren't into it at all. Their idea of the perfect man is thin, with good looking face and long hair who is lintelligent looking.
It's all about how your face looks out here and how fashionable you look, how intelligent and charismatic you are. Muscles get you nowhere.
I've got an American buddy out here and he is fucking huge. He did like 5 cycles before and he is straight up bulky and beastly weight lifting machine. And the women out here think he's ugly and stupid looking. He doesn't get pussy too much.
Big muscles being attractive is the thing in Western countries, but in lots of other places it's not really the thing.

I do allright with the ladies, I definitely never go hungry for pie out here. I always get it if I need it.
I've grown a layer of fat over my abs lately but i'm gonna start jumping rope and bike riding like a madman. I'll be ripped in a couple months.

good strategy, the hunks on this forum must be melting down hard hearing you are losing muscle and still getting chicks left and right, not obsessing over your lifting or anything.

The main thing about it I don't like is the dietary needs. It's a pain in the ass and a huge hassle to always have to eat the huge amounts of protein and calories, it's an every day burden.
The weight lifting is fun for me. But the diet is annoying.
Some guys like having something like that to focus on. But when you have other things you want to focus on, it goes from being a discipline to being a burden.
-
I have a shitload of businesses I run. Sometimes I have to focus on just one.
Sometimes bodybuilding and working out get put off to the side for a bit. Bodyfat stays down, I might lose a little size, but my muscle has been there for so many fukin years now it has a hard time leaving. I will always have it.
Believe it.

wait till you have a girl you want to marry...and you want to provide for her...
you'll change your tune
i'm an old navy guy....but i want the BEST for my girl.....to do that...i want to be successful and make $
-
Hey Ship, The diet factor is way overrated, and don't get me started on this protein bullshit! TRAINING IS THE BE ALL END ALL, and diet is only secondary and plays a rather minor role at that. If you are training hard enough then you have a license to eat whatever the fuck you want.
-
Because I fucked your Mom in the ass last night.
Next question.....
How did you come up with such a witty response?

couldnt disagree more dj....maybe for a guy with a really fast metabolism....but the vast majority of people cannot out-train bad nutrition.....

Simply put training stimulus plus dietary needs plus rest=RESULTS
-
No disrespect to you Groink, but take a look at some of these very elite and high-caliber athletes, they can eat a shitload of crappy food but they still are very fit and shredded. I'm just too much of a lazy fvck to put out that kind of effort with my training, but I have actually done it at various times thoughout my life.

True.
From the age of 18-24 I always wanted t have my hair looking good, stylin clothes, body looking good and all that.
After that I just started giving less and less of a shit abut it.
By the time I was 28 I just didn't give a fuck at all.
So now I wear generic and second hand clothes, don't cut my hair, shave a couple times a week maybe, and just don't give a fuck about my image.

This is actually good letting go of the ego.

not workn out = teh gay

I'm working out. Just not lifting weights.
Just got done with a bike ride and an hour of climbing on the rock wall.
-
looking good or not looking good is only one of the many sides of ego... there can be many other egoistic sides, not just looks.
even you have to admit, ship, that you have alot of ego left when you have to constantly proof to people that you do or don't do something and you need to convince people constantly even though nobody asked... didn't you just say in your "this is the physique I strive for" that you want the hung penis of some shaman? isn't that ego?
me? hell yeah I have ego, when I go out, do this do that, I try to look my good self before I go, that's ego and living through other peoples expectations and the fake ass models that are meaningless, I know that... but I love the desire, I would love to just make people go ave and please everyone and just get huge self satisfaction...
one ego is also that not excepting any help from "certain people" just to show off... you know... same can be said about GIVING help... one is having sex with a woman, making her ejaculate but not bust a nut your self and tell to her face that; "yeah, i got you, you think I'm gonna bust a nut for you, no way... I know i can fuck you good and make you squeel but not gonna give my self satisfaction with you because that would make you feel special and adorable, hell no!" that's also ego...
what do you think
-
I think that is much more an issue of pride than it is of ego.

-
I definitely do have a some ego left. I've killed certain aspects of it, but other aspects are still strong.
Right now i'm working a lot in a semi-professional job, and living in a city that's not very high on spiritual energy, the opposite really, a materialistic place, so it's got me regressing back a lot lately.
Just gotta work on it I guess. It's hard to be really spiritually centered when your environment pulls you in the opposite direction, but that's a good challenge to work with.

In some cases yes, but that group of folks most likely weren't truly motivated to begin with. The issue is that life flat out happens.....careers really intensify, families are growing and maturing, people begin to experience life and death within their immediate families, major moves occur, illnesses tend to be more common, etc....
For most, the 20s are period of transition between Mom and Dad and a first apartment and a first job......the gym at this point is typically still very intergral. This decade is typically when the "obsession years" in the gym happen. The gym passion is replaced with more serious, relevant passions. That doesn't mean that training is unimportant, but when real life responsibilities are set into motion the gym can quickly take a backseat.
-
For me, I just realized that bulking and "bodybuilding" isn't what i'm into or want to do.
I'd rather be lean, strong, in great cardio shape, flexible, etc.
I want to be fit and healthy. Not just some bloated and bulked up piece of shit.
I'm probably gonna start lifting again soon. But my attitude toward it is changed.

What drove you to this? A spritual path maybe being around the temple and monks?

Agreed with bbing.
TOday I dragged a sled and thursday I flipped a tractor tire and tomorrow I will do some chinups and pushups on the rings and climbing a rops. Much higher training economy then doing silly DB curls or leg extensions.
-

This did play a part in it.
But the main is that I bulked up for 9 months. I gained a lot of strength and size, but my fitness level just went way down. Less flexibility, worse cardio conditioning, a soft and flabby look to my midsection. And most of all I just didn't FEEL healthy.
Also I just don't really care that much about getting big muscles. Sure it would be kinda cool to have huge muscles, but the sacrifices aren't worth it to me.
I've been getting back in shape for a past couple weeks and I feel great. Pretty soon i'll be a lean machine like Bruce Lee again.
-
What do you consider lean, bodyfat percentage wise. And on a side note, how's your boyfriend Stark? ;)

Shipp...serious post here.....this is a BBing site and the vast majority here are into training to put on muscle, not necessarily into BBing competition or the Pro scene....but we are serious trainers here for the most part.
What's the point of coming here every day and ragging on the very thing this site is all about? why are you even here, seriously ?

Well when I started coming back here a couple months ago I was in bodybuilding mode all the way.
Now i've kinda shifted out of that mode. But i'm still really into fitness and exercise. But i'm just shifting into being in shape on a more holistic level. And I am gonna start lifting weights again soon. I just love to lift.
Besides. Half the guys here don't even excercise at all. So it's not like this place is some elite bodybuilding scene.
I am not a bodybuilder then. But i'm definitely a weight lifter. I havn't lifted in about 2 weeks now and i'm itching for it. I might lift today and end the experiment early. I've got what I need out of it already.
I am a serious trainer and I exercise hard and seriously. But i'm just seeing beyond big muscles and going for the whle package. Strength, cardio, health, flexibility, speed, etc.

Ship, you really think that half the guys here don't train at all? I would say that the majority of them train. BTW, how's your bf Stark?

From what i've seen, a lot of the guys here lift totally inconsistently and are not disciplined at all. I'd guess about half the guys who post here are like that. Maybe they lift for a month, then get lazy for a month and cycle like that, never making progress.
GetBig has never really been a hardcore bodybuilding site. It's always just been a place where dudes come to talk shit and have some laughs. With a few bodybuilders and homos too.

Yesterday I took some dumbells up on the roof of my building and did a bunch of lifts and cross training type stuff.
Since I havn't lifted in about 2 weeks my muscles got an awesome pump. I'm back to lifting. Time to get into epic shape. Real conditioning. Beyond the level of a muscle pumping cum guzzler. A real atheletic specimen.

Yeah, you should build muscle for a change....

I've got enough muscle. I'm not obsessed with my looks like a fruitcake. I'm more into health and being fit.
Thanks for the gay suggestion though.

Actually, I was suggesting it so you in fact will look healthy. Instead of a bulimic fagboy

I'm very healthy right now.
You don't know shit about health obviously. Health isn't all about flexing your bicep like a fag and getting the biggest peak.
Muscles actually have very little to do with health.

I can't quit lifting either, I like it too much.
I just quit "bodybuilding", but not lifting.

Its the best way to express yourself there is.

Find something else to concentrate on for awhile.
Then come back to it.
A rest never hurts.

I think that a better term for this healthy pursuit of ours is muscle-building, and not this gayss sounding "bodybuilding".

I prefer to call it "physique artistry". That's not gay.

Bump for this one. So what were the results of this 1 month experiment blackflagredstar?
