Again, we all measure success differently. I mean, prison time is: Free food, housing and gym membership… I bet some people like that.

And some one to scrub your back in the shower after a long work out.
yo daveyd.
pretty damn strong man, especially for being a tad tall.
The issue with our (<25) generation is that we got everything, we have internet for info for instance and we’re only a few click away from what could help us out.
However, most do not bother looking ! They expect everything to come without any effort from their side (see beginner section, the ones who cannot even proceed with a google search to see what a bent over row is). This then transfer to the gym, and of course they will not last…
Hell, this applies to every aspects of life, studies, job, relationships, etc… And this gets worse and worse from what I see when I visit my former college or highschool, and the feedbacks I get from my mates teaching. I feel new generations want everything without ‘lifting’ a finger and expect instant gratification.
As far as bodybuilding is concerned, I personally got into it recently (some would not call that bodybuilding at my level), but I did my best to learn/experiment. I mean it’s obvious that to get good at something you have to suck at some point. It would not be fun otherwise. The reward is not only in the achievements but in the journey as well.

Damnit, I wanna bench 365 too! A pound for every day of the year!
I have some thoughts about this site, and the <25 crowd. As for the site, there isnt a section that caters to individuals that want to gain muscle and get lean (Not BB’ing big, but athletic and muscular) I think everyone should strive for the look they want. If you want to be huuuuge, go for it. If you want to look like a cover model, thats great, and if you want to look like brad pitt in fight club, fine. But this site doesn’t have forums that would cater to the latter two. It DOES have many articles that do though. If you look at the majority of the authors on this site, they are writing their articles for average joe’s and/or “weekend warriors” Sure there are some articles for hardcore lifters/athletes and serious bb’ers, but very few. So it makes sense that the articles tend to draw in a certain crowd, and those are the people that end up using the forum. (Thats how i found the site, and thats why i use the forum) Also, if you are looking for serious bb’ing info, there probably are better sites. EX: You dont see a ton of DC people here, because they are better off on the DC forums. So basically the articles tend to cater toward beginners and intermediates, and thats what the forums are mainly composed of.
As for the age thing. I dont think people under 25 are necessarily less motivated, I think there are many factors at play here. Being <25 people tend to be more active and on the go, whether it be school or whatever. Combine this with a fast metabolism, and some other factors, and it SEEMS nearly impossible to gain weight. I think deep down, the <25 crowd would prefer to be a bit larger, but chooses the “lean and ripped” look because it seems more attainable. I have noticed myself though that as I am aging (im 25 now) attaining and maintaining a heavier weight becomes easier. Metabolism is slowing, activity level is decreasing and the ability to focus on the important factors for building muscle have increased, so greater muscle and weight becomes easier. At least for me. Also, I would guess that the 25-40 or so age range wants to be bigger, and then about 40+ more individuals want to be “lean and healthy”. This is just a guess though. Well enough of that…

More frame for more muscle, eh? Thanks for the compliment, you just earned yourself an MMF…
I started really blowing up once I stopped caring about my strength to bodyweight ratio, and once I stopped doing sprinting for track.

Hell yeah man.
i’m new to the “more serious” lifting thing, and my only efforts is to make sure my new-found enjoyment doesnt slow or stop. and i think it is a bit of my defiant nature, but a friend of mine is one of the retarded and hardcore believers in “max genetic potential”. Half my effort in the gym is coming from me just wanting to prove his ignorant rants wrong in the best possible way, with my OWN results. so, expect to see me around, i will certainly be here and growing.

Geez, you’re 6’4’’ 200lbs and have 17’’ arms? I’m not gonna say you don’t, but how did you manage that? I’m 250lbs, same height and I only got 16.5’’ arms.
I think, that people with that attitude are somewhat right. Of course there’s people sub 25yo, who train seriously, but in generel I think the people who are a tad older train more seriously.
Im 16 years old myself.
Bw: 90kg/198lb
Height: 183cm.
Squat: 185kg/407lb
Bench: 120kg/264lb (with pause)
Deadlift: 230kg/506lb
My goal is to, at some point, set a world record in the IPF.
Short term is to deadlift 270 this year. The 230 was with nice speed.
