why would anyone NOT work out?

[HowieW]

I just started working construction, (drywalling, etc...),after a 12+ hours shift of that bullshit I can barely walk let alone think about going to the gym. It sucks to have to almost stop training after the years I've put into it but other prioities come up in life sometime. Now I just train on the weekends but the workouts arent the same as going throughout the whole week because the gym is packed and other reasons.

Other people look a tit like, you work hard in life, you'll die one day anyway, why create more hardship for yourself just for bigger arms, legs, etc?

Hey , hitting it hard and heavy once a week will allow you to make some gains or at least maintain some decent strength and size if that weekend work is hard and tough.
To mne working out is a labor of love. I mean, c'mon you sure work up a sweat doing the horizontal mambo, but it sure is worth it huh

You know, most people only work out each muscle group once a week anyway, even though it's broken up into a 3 or 4 day split.  Why would his results be any less only working out on weekends?  He could do back/biceps Saturday morning, legs Saturday evening, and chest/shoulders/tris on Sunday.

glycogen drop, cortisol levels, cATP drop, etc etc etc

Some people feel exhausted after working out. I work out sometimes, but I actually feel better after a long run. A hard workout just leaves me feeling weak.

I feel great after working out.

A split on Saturday? ... and having a life fits in where?

well obviously in a case like yours where you do physical labor all day, thats understandable.

i dont understand why anyone -guys especially- would not work out in some form. it makes you look better, feel better, and it is enjoyable.

me and one of my brothers lift and have put some quality mass on our skinny frames, but my other brother is boneskinny as hell hes 18, 5-11 120, i always try to get him to lift with me, try to get him to do something, tell him it would be so easy to improve yourself, but he wont have any part of it. just sits there playing online anime fantasy games all day long drinking coffee.

maybe im just way too appearance conscious, but i dont get why anyone would not lift, its so easy to improve yourself and there are no drawbacks that i can think of.

Ironically, your skinny lazy brother will probably outlive you because skinny people live the longest.  If I didn't work out I would go crazy or want to kill myself.  A lot of people have never experienced the exhilaration or "high" of exercise and only associate it with pain.  Poor fuckers......

[king]

i'm sure a lot of people just cant find time in their day to work out.. i also worked construction over the summer.. that shit almost killed me

[alexxx]

lazy bastards! I workout out even after a shift at demolition where I had to brake down walls with that huge hammer and bend 1/2 inch thick metal sticks with my bare hands! After a long day of work I had to take the white crap out of my nose!

Hahaha you work in construction ..what are you a mexican Alexxx or White trash ....

[LuciusFox]

 Yeah, some people would probably feel like crap after a long run. I guess we're all different in some way.

maybe your brother likes the cock and hates the weights, John.

When I was 16 I did what I had to do to get money!

[hipolito mejia]

That is because they are weak minded and weak looking individuals!

Tha's not a smart reason since 95% of Pro B.B were "weak minded and weak looking individuals" before they got obssesed with b.b!!

[alexxx]

People are lazy what can I say. 

[analcandy]

a lot of people just don't care. they're content with how they look or have other interests that they put above working out.

thats WRONG.

people are deeply frustrated about how they look, but they PRETEND that it  doesnt bother em.

[Man of Steel]

Very true.....I have out of shape friends that are married and constantly tell me, "what do I need the gym for?  I'm married, working, have a home, etc....why do I need to go kill myself in the gym when I'd rather be home relaxing."   Simple as that.   Of course everyone would rather be inshape, but if that means they gotta skip American Idol to go to the gym they ain't doin it.


Most people also feel they have to get in shape before they go to the gym to get in shape......it's that invisible audience that petrifies them.   I could give two squirts what anyone around me is doin or how they look.....they ain't me so screw em.   That mentality is learned through personal experience....you gotta dissolve the invisible audience before you can move forward.....the body follows the mind.


In a nutshell...they're fuggin scared and lazy.


MOS

That's interesting, but At the same time is really hard to discuss in a b.b fans site!!!!
I know people that are extremelly wealthy ,young, nice cars,lots of girls and they find working out so insignificant that u woudn't believe it!

Specially those "tools" from popular groups as  Marron 5 or Cold play!

They won't touch a barbell even if you pay them....let alone pay for a membership at the gym!

[Samourai Pizzacat]

Yeah, pretend your working out makes you real special.


I have a lot of friends that don't work out, most of em do some kind of sport. They look fine, maybe not to Getbig's distorted view of a normal healthy Homo sapiens. I balance working out with some other sporting activities. A lot of people have completely different drives than physical prowess.

Because maybe they have more important things to do.

 Wrong. Many people compare themselves to their peers, and if most of them have average bodies, they are also content to have an average body.

Wow. I'm willing to bet that 90% of the people that commented on this topic are about 28 years old or younger.

Of course, when you're younger you just want to work out to make yourself as attractive as possible to the opposite sex. It's all about vanity at that point. It's all I was concerned with back then. Working out, making DICK for money, and trying to get pussy. Once you start becomming more career minded, own a house, invest, find a significant other, that working out shit becomes less of a priority because you got bigger fish to fry. For those that maintain that workout intensity no matter what, god bless you. I'm 32 and I admit that I need to find that desire to consistently get my ass in the gym everyday. I'm not overweight but I don't have the physique that I once did. But when you have a six figure income, live in a nice home, drive a nice car and have an attractive woman to take care of you.........well, you younger guys who look in the mirror constantly and puff out your chest everyday will soon know what I'm talking about.

 The people on this site rarely have forethought. They often think they will be huge and shredded at 60, with the same mentality that they have now.

very true. But understandable. I thought when I was 25 working out was the most important thing ever. It still is important but so is paying the mortgage, you know?
