Title: People who don't lift have no conception of size...
Post by: Deicide on May 27, 2011, 10:51:03 AM
It really struck home the other day when my pathetic arms of maybe 14"+ were called 'too big' by a girl. I realised at that moment that either the majority of the population is delusional or people who lift live in their own dimension with its own conceptions of proportion and size and given the fact that the former has a greater number of representatives than the latter, I would say people who lift live in their own dimension...

That kind of ignorance is displayed with anything really.  I bet if I showed you ten different kinds of leather, you would think they were all the same despite being entirely different.

Lifters don't seem to realise that most people have never seen a pro builder up close. Lifters compare themselves, often implicitly, to the pros and top ams. They consider themselves small, while normal people consider them huge. And lifters think it really matters, but 95% of people don't give a shit.

Women like twinks nowadays, big muscles is a subculture so certain ladies like them but the trend is twinks lately real reason is they want power over men and a guy with big muscles is tough to control.

Women like twinks because they want to be in complete control. They want a pansy that they can boss around for the next 50 years. That's the only reason.

thats true and false at the same time. a huge amount of women are that way, but they dont realise untill they reach middle age or older that they set themselves up for a life of wishing for something better. women need to be told what to do or else they arent happy. when they have to make decisions on their own they feel insecure and overwhelmed. they might not show it, and alot of times these twink loving women will react negatively to any man who asserts dominance over her... result of most hetero men being complete pussies+feminist movement going way too far..  but if you just keep doing it in a respectful yet adoring, masculine way.. then they will almost always give in to their natural submissiveness.

Jezebelle has a pair of Nude colored Cane Toad Pradas.  Prada tends to make a lot of their handbags out of Cane Toad.  It is incredibly durable with unique graining.  Cane Toads are a nuisance in Australia and rather than waste their deaths, at least good products can be made from their skins.

Big difference here depending on where you live, every other guy in a USA bar\club is jacked so women dont really pay any attention, in UK maybe 1 in 50 guys looks like he lifts, get far more attention here if you lift.Having lived in both countries the difference is immense, men and woman in uk treat you much better if you have muscle.

Yeah men show some more respect, or I would say they don't want to mess with you. Women here... well, if you are 5'7 130lbs guy you are on heaven lol.

Those people are used to hearing bench press numbers in "plates", so to them, 5 plates is no big deal to bench press. I hear tons of liars who claim they bench 4 or 5 'plates'. When I look at them in shock and disbelief, they just shrug their shoulders like its no big deal. They have no idea how heavy 500lbs (or, 5 'plates) really is, or how big of a blatant lie they just told. Sadly, they do this all because of they're precious fucking ego's..

They have no concept of what being in shape is either. I know a guy who is a ripped 185lbs at 5'9".  This slob who is 230 and couldn't run around a block without keeling over said he's so much bigger than him.  Yes, if you are talking about sloppy weight.

 I learned this long ago. Guys are delusional about what they look like. 

Have you ever watched a football game and they say a players 6'3" 260lb and some slob friend says I got 10lbs on him?

My ass,of course you would love to have ripped abs and a great physique, but instead they settle for seeing their dicks for the last time in 1984.


Fucking people are lazy which makes them jealous of our committment to looking good because they can`t committ to it.

I know not everyone wants to be a pro bodybuilder,but you know they`d all like to look better and be stronger.

could this girls' cluelessness be just a microcosm of the obesity factor in our society running rampart nowadays? what i mean is she thought your arms were huge and "too big"  so she is pretty bad and/or clueless in judging and accepting the reality.... perhaps in some similar way this could explain people who are fat, or obese, or just out of shape? meaning, they either don't know or can't understand for some reason the reality of their bodies?

they don't think or see themselves as what they are or justify it in that they are like "everyone else?"

the same kind of thinking when you see these people millions and millions in the u.s. alone who drink and/or smoke and yet the bodybuilder who is huge and muscular is "the weirdo' and the one who should be judged and not the "normal one' and taking those bad, bad, bad evil steriods that kill people ,..... because hey it's normal and okay to take the drugs of nicotine and alcohol, i mean "everyone else does it right?!"

Definitely. Like Nasser said, its like going up to the owner of a Ferrari and saying "I wouldn't want to drive such a car" when its really a sad and obvious excuse for them being pathetic and jealous.

Its amazing what people will say to someone who physically emasculates them, when they get that jealous they are willing to say anything to knock you down a notch and make themselves feel less pathetic.

People who spend hours at the gym lifting and comparing themselves to others who lift do live in a different dimension. So what? I like that dimension better.

My forearms are 13" and they look small to me. My biceps are 17" and I can't see enough peak on them. They need to be bigger and with more peak. Any suggestions?

In regards to the topic - the only bodybuilding show I've attended was the 2001 NZ Grand Prix. I had to drive to Wellington and when I checked into a motel, the lady in the reception asked me why I was visiting and when I told her it was for a bb contest, said, "That's nice, I think you'll do well." ;D

The next question is 'how do you know steroids are bad?' After everyone laughes they all agree its bad just to not look stupid at that moment and to not be pressured to think about this at that time (its a party afterall). The answer is 'steroids are bad because there is a rule that says to not use it'.

One look at any statistic in any country in the world says otherwise but this doesnt count. The rule is there and therefore its a good rule. 'they wouldn't make a rule if it's not bad now would they?' A typical non-argument from people with no open mind and usually no real information.

It's basically like religion 'It's true because its says so in the book, and the book says so because it's true'.


Bro most people want to be told what to do it's much easier for them (not sayin' you don't already know this)

Only a few break the mold and do what they want or think differently. If you found someone without such a stupid view on things you would have a great conversation. Kind of like every 2nd thread on getbig  ;)

Definitely. Like Nasser said, its like going up to the owner of a Ferrari and saying "I wouldn't want to drive such a car" when its really a sad and obvious excuse for them being pathetic and jealous.

Its amazing what people will say to someone who physically emasculates them, when they get that jealous they are willing to say anything to knock you down a notch and make themselves feel less pathetic.

Indeed....follow me around for a week and you'll see exactly how far people are willing to go........I just had dukey 187 TO'ed for talking about my daughter.....I mean, christ on a cross, does it bother you THAT MUCH.....you gotta bring someone's KID into it ???....fucking people  ::)

fat people are jealous of lean people. Skinny people are jealous of muscular people. Old people are jealous of young people. Ugly people are jealous of good looking people. Some people are fat and ugly, others are good looking and muscular. Some people are fat, ugly, poor, others are fat ugly, but rich and bang models. Some people have huge cars, but a shit job and a small penis. Others have a huge car and are rich but are enslaved by their wives. Others arent and fuck models. Sometimes wives are aware of it and dont care because of the money. Some want to divorce. Everyone always envy what the others have and we dont. This is an endless loop of frustration.
Most people do not even choose to be who they are, to have what they have, to be born where they re born. Well educated people are well educated because their parents were well educated. Who chooses his parents, grand parents, his lineage ?

Everyone wants to be rich, good looking, muscular. Those who are, arent even happier tho.

incline curls and preacher curls always seems to help my peak

also body fat, if its high you wont see a good peak even if you have one.

Thanks for the exercise advice. Preacher curls are a part of my arm routine already. I suspect it might be also the bodyfat issue. My guess is mine is somewhere around 12%. I like being fairly big (never got over the skinny kid syndrome) and since I am not competing it isn't a problem. When my arm are 18" and there is still no peak, I am gonna worry. Also, I have extremely long arms, like an ape. I suppose this makes a little difference too, don't really know.

It really struck home the other day when my pathetic arms of maybe 14"+ were called 'too big' by a girl. I realised at that moment that either the majority of the population is delusional or people who lift live in their own dimension with its own conceptions of proportion and size and given the fact that the former has a greater number of representatives than the latter, I would say people who lift live in their own dimension...

Discuss...

Also some girls just take a while to make the transition from being attracted to the skinny mini boys they date as teenagers.

 They think they have a "type", which is based on their first love or whatever, who is inevitably 140lb. Then they get their heart broken, sleep around lots, and realise if you're not 16 anymore then twink physique is kinda lame. Just takes them a while to realise this sometimes. I think anyway.

Asian girls usually think that a man is huge when he is over 130lbs with 10 inch arms. A skinny westerner is already a monster to them, a western bodybuilder is almost unthinkable.

You do. I have a bit more muscle compared to that average guy as I've been training for 15 years, and even now, walking around in Brent Cross I get looks. It's only passing but I can sense they don't like it. Get shitty looks from guys and girls look and then pretend to ignore.

Maybe I am just a vain, stuck-up egomaniac, but I always imagine that when folks look at me, they are admiring me....it is a positive feeling that I enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I know I am a regular average looking guy....nothing special. However, not too many men my age look as fit as I do. I think people appreciate that it takes commitment and work to look good and be healthy. I am also well aware that some of my good health is thanks to my parents passing me good genes.

I was this... I was that...I lifted this...and that...fuck them.

There are some guys who work out at the gym where I do who are actually older than me....since I am 66 that's saying something.

There is a photo of Earl, who is ten years older than I am on the wall. It was taken when he was in his thirties. He had a really impressive physique with huge guns. At 76, Earl still looks damn good although his guns aren't what they once were. Up until a couple of years ago, he was still winning power lifting contests. There is another fellow who is well into his seventies who also has his photo up on the wall. He's solidly built, but not huge. In the photo, taken when he was in his mid-thirties, his guns are huge. He claims they were only 19". I would guess they are maybe still about 18". While I have no "war" stories to brag about myself, I listen theirs and so do most other guys. They've earned the privilege of boasting some, not just because they are older, but because they still show up most days and still lift weights which is more than you can say of a lot of senior citizens.
