Fellow Getbiggers,

Long time lurker, first post here. I’m 43, unemployed, natural, rocking almost 17‑inch guns – not cut like diamonds, but let’s say a bit of “fatceps.”

Recently picked up a cheap camera and a smartphone, made my very first video. Planning to keep going with more stuff filmed in my garage – I’ve got a pull‑up bar, some DIY gear, and I’m adding an ergometer soon. Think of it as a mix of construction, bodybuilding, and raw garage vibes.

I’m not pretending to be shredded or professional – just real, unfiltered, and trying to see if this concept could fly.

I absolutely love hanging out on forums, and Getbig has always been one of my favorites. So I figured, why not ask the crew here: do you think I’ve got potential as a YouTuber, or is this just another garage dream?

Link to my very first video – uncut, raw, no editing skills yet. Honest feedback appreciated.

We already have Goodrum, and he sucks on all levels.....

So no.

Say what you want about Goodrum, but he called Bitcoin. I didn’t listen, bought garbage coins, and lost close to 10k.

Hijacking this weak thread

Last night I had the strangest 1 night stand of my life

I went out drinking
 
When I arrived at the bar I got 2 double JD and cokes

All the girls looked much younger than I remembered. It's only been 2 years since I graduated, but I had the feeling that the college girls were now looking at me as an "older man"

I started to wonder if the last few years had aged me terribly. My hair did seem to be gradually thinning. Maybe this was more noticeable in the neon strobe lighting of the club, where hairs might appear thinner and the scalp might be more visible

I reminded myself that thinking this way is a fast path to misery, and that I was here to drink

After 4 more drinks, I began to feel courage

I scanned the dance floor. My eyes were attracted by a very tall blonde girl. She looked around 6’4” in flats. Perhaps 3 inches taller than me. “She’s big”, I thought to myself

She was in the middle of a circle of much shorter friends, the majority of whom had hungry-looking guys grinding against them. It seemed like pairing up was happening, but that she was still alone and looking around the dance floor awkwardly

Many men were probably intimidated her large stature, but I’ve always been into women significantly taller than me. Even so, I had never acted on it until last night

To friends, I expressed this as a desire to create “warrior sons” but this was a face-saving lie. In truth, I think there is something majestic about them, and that gives me a thrill

The best way I can describe it is that they look like they are from a different time in history, war maidens, females built specifically for battle — and so to romantically conquer them despite their capacity to kill you makes you a particularly worthy man

As I looked at her, I imagined running through the jungle after her, as she used a machete to slice the vines and undergrowth out of the way, and drove spears into the throats of vicious jaguars and any aggressive tribespeople that caused us issues

I walked up beside her, then got on my tippy toes to shout into her ear

“Are you a student?” I asked

“Yes” she said “I’m in my first year of college”

“I just graduated” I said, as I looked at her friends “it looks like your friends have found some interesting company”

“I know… I hate it. I come out to have fun, but as soon as we arrive, they always hook up with men, then I’m left alone when they go home with them” she complained

“Why don’t you teach them a lesson by taking me home?” I proposed

Her eyes widened, looking me up and down

I smiled “I want you to carry me out of here”

She look at me stunned, then crouched down and scooped me up with her powerful arms. My weight seemed like nothing to her. Then, she did a slow 360 degree turn, almost as though she was showing off a newborn child to everyone, then walked straight for the exit

Her house was strange. The front door didn’t open too far, because it was blockaded by her bed. We both squeezed through the small gap and into the room. It was truly huge. And even more baffling was the equally huge bed

“This isn’t normal student accommodation” I said

“My parents are rich, they didn’t want me in cramped dorms” she said “and bed is 16 king size beds pushed together, 4 X 4”

“Why so many?” I asked

“Because I’m so tall, my feet stick out of the bed and would always get cold, so my father made me one big bed by screwing together 16 beds, so they’d never stick out again”

“Makes sense” I said

“I will lie naked in this corner”, she pointed to the far right corner of the bed

“And you must begin here”, she pointed to the diagonally opposite corner

“if you can reach me without creaking the bed even once, then you can take my virginity”

She stripped completely naked, then carried me to my corner, before laying down naked on hers and whispering “good luck…”

I stood up and said “I’m too rich for this nonsense”, then walked straight home

I’m heading out to watch SISU at the cinema – pure Finnish rage and survival vibes. After that I’ll be back to answer your deep philosophical questions about my YouTube potential.

Not chasing 1RM numbers these days – just maintaining tone and keeping the fatceps alive. As for grip, I almost closed the Captain of Crush #3 – missed it by a single hair. For the record, I’ve got small hands and a 7‑inch wrist, so it’s extra brutal

While waiting for some honest reviews of my toilet chicken symphony, I’ll share the construction process of the bathroom itself. First pic: empty formwork with black plastic for the concrete, about 30 cm high for the base slab. Second pic: fiberglass rebar installed – 2 layers plus diagonal reinforcement (thanks eng‑tips forum for the idea). Fun fact: the rebar is straight from Russia, so this bathroom is literally motherland‑reinforced.

There were good parts and not so good parts. Not so good parts outweighed the good.

I did not like the opening part with the Warning Message. It made no sense and does not work. Scrap that ASAP.

I enjoyed your chicken serenades and I liked your humming as you puttered around. Please don't kill the chickens.

But then some parts after that seemed like you were trying too hard to be funny. Seemed forced and not genuine.

I think if you just be yourself and take us along with your chicken life, that would be interesting to watch.

Pretty good, flex.

I picked this chick up in a bar in college.
She took me back to the house she rented with about 4 other girls.
While she was in the bathroom I opened the freezer and there was a dildo in it.
I had a weird vibe and left.
The next day I was out at a local store and the girl suddenly appeared and asked where I went.
Then we got in my car and went someplace but I forget where.
This was over 40 years ago but I remember the dildo in the freezer.

You’re right, the laughter part did come across a bit forced. Truth is, right before filming when I actually went for a real number two, I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. In the video I had to act it out, so it ended up looking a bit staged. At least I’m glad you found something good in there.

Of course it’s a crap thread, it’s literally about toilet testing experience

Here’s binding wire I used to tie reinforcement. Ordinary iron wire? Nah, that’s a slow time bomb in concrete. Explodes after 50 years, sometimes earlier. Iron swells 6x, concrete crumbles. I want this thing to last for generations — makes it green, do not you agree? Or at least greener than your grandma’s rusty balcony.

Btw, for those who know nothing about construction — this binding wire is AISI 304 stainless steel, no cheap iron time bomb
