Seems like damn near everyone is a type 1
Perhaps type 1’s are more inclined to train?
I’m actually split between a 2A and 2B, except with a little thrill-seeking thrown in.
Yeah, and with T-Nation being a place for performance alongside building muscle it’s no wonder there are a lot of type 1s
Wonder if bodybuilding .com/some another bodybuilding focused forum has more type 2s comparatively
Interwebsite shade thrown
I can’t remember how i found tnation but all i know is i joined and have been here since.
Before i joined tnation i used to read bodybuilding .com, even though i was a noob i still knew that place was full of shit. So idk if anything even if i was a bodybuilder I’d still prefer this site.
I’m into bodybuilding and you won’t find me anywhere near bb .com
T Nation is great because it is a comparatively small forum, at least if we talk about people who log regularly. That allows is to get to know each other better and instead of it just being a bunch of usernames you get the feeling of having a conversation with actual people
could someone (@vvfoo) explain what this means, some kind of witchcraft or what?
I’ve heard that’s it’s something to do with eating less. There was more, but I stopped listening.
It’s magic words that will only make sense to you once you’ve broken the 260# barrier.

Rest day tomorrow
At your height, I’m surprised you haven’t stretched your meat suit more.
Fucking hell that’s brilliant
I have a few further inside the armpit, however I’ve always been tall so I suppose because I never got the normal growth spurt, perhaps my skin has naturally stretched as I’ve aged
Firstly, is @khangles still floating around on these forums, that gif posting motherfucker? Haven’t heard from him in yonks. Probably ended up with @Irishman92 in ditch somewhere being too cool for school
Secondly, a bit of a conundrum
I’ve always wanted to compete in a bodybuilding comp, because… idk? Reasons. It was obviously the motivation behind building an aesthetic body, and seeing world renoun physiques on stage, I always thought it would be a really fun thing. But as I’ve gotten older and seen friends and what not compete, and actually gotten to understand how different federations work, and the people that run them, judge and everything from the outside looking in, I’m in a few different thoughts. I like setting goals, and achieving them, but for me to succeed, I need to be able to believe and enjoy a process.
It’s not I don’t enjoy or believe in my work that I do, I know I can do it, but fucking hell I’ll be honest, I have a serious problem with how vein and shady the local, state and national shows are here. And I know getting on stage is essentially a modelling show, I know that means that it all comes down to how you look and present yourself, but that just ain’t me.
I’m proud of what I’ve built so far, I’m excited to where I can take myself in the future with strongman because at the end of the day, all I really want to do is
Look good
Lift big
And as I get older, the look good mentality will naturally wein as I deluge myself further into strongman, I know once I commit to it, I won’t be able to be under a certain body fat percentage that im aspiring to get too at the moment because competing will be my 100% focus.
I’m cool with that
I ticked off the reaching SHW when I clicked just shy of 140kg the other month, I’m back down to 129 now physically so much bigger then last time I was at this weight.
It’s a shame, the more I’m exposed to the competitive side of bodybuilding, the more and more I dislike it.
I think this is a sad realisation for a lot of us as we get older, wiser or just wake up and smell the coffee. The thought of the best built man in the world has a mystique much like a super hero when you are a teenager and you want to believe everything. But as the years tick by, you try all the quick wins and realise that there aren’t any. As you watch your hero’s and realise that they aren’t actually the best body on the day but still won. You start to see that bodybuilding isn’t all you thought it was.
No this doesn’t make us like the gym sessions any less or make us less inclined to want big pecs and a back that can’t fit through a door without turning sideways. But it does make the BB industry lose some of its magic.
Maybe it’s all part of finally growing up!!
