True…I guess it’s alright to make up your own nickname if you already are a joke.[/quote]

Yeah, I figured. 10 mil…if people paid me to be a waste of oxygen I’d take it too!

The least hardcore I am the better I am.
One example of hardcore would be dying of aids in africa.

I was speaking to a guy at the gym today, didn’t know his name but he is always friendly and we were sharing the pullup station. He’s in good shape, but he walks all fucked up, so I asked him because I am incessantly curious what happened, he told me he has cerebral palsy, this guy trains pretty hard IMO, he was certainly doing more pullups than me, I thought that was pretty hardcore.[/quote]

We have a few guys that are like this. They can’t train legs bilaterally but you will see them doing things like one legged hack squats and what not. I get more inspiration to STFU and train from them than anyone else.

Hardcore![/quote]

I, on the other hand, have used makeup as lube.

Nice avatar BTW.

Hardcore is my mom and dad who are both past retirement age and still work 7 days a week in our restaurant.

Hardcore is my dad who years and years ago had the flu and still went in to work nights and never missed a day in 35 years.

Seems to me that most of the conflict in this thread is due to simple semantics. Being dedicated is cool. Being successful is also cool. We can all agree that they’re different things. Some people think that “hardcore” is synonymous with dedicated, while others believe that it is synonymous with successful. Why not just discuss things in those clear terms?

Er, sorry for trying to stop a fight on the internet.

People that try hard but never reach the upper echelon aren’t hardcore because they aren’t successful.
People that are naturally talented aren’t hardcore because they didn’t have to work for anything.

I’m hardcore because I bench a thousand pounds while afflicted with chlamydia.

What makes me hardcore?

Giving birth to triplets sans epidural and six weeks later going to the gym, overhead pressing 90 kgs, squatting 100kgs, benching 87kgs and deadlifting 150kgs on the same day before one of my lower back discs slipped.

And despite being in pain (I survived childbirth and root canal sans pain killers for fuck’s sakes!) I refused to leave the gym, wrapped a belt around my back and insisted to finish my set of 200kg pressing on the weight leg press.

THAT makes me HARDCOOOOOORE, baby!!![/quote]

90kg overhead press and 87kg bench? not aware that’s possible.

im so hardcore i do crossword puzzles with a pen.

Thought the same thing at first, but if the overhead press was for a single and the other lifts for reps and in some cases when already fatigued… ok. And why would anyone max out on pretty much everything the first time back in the gym?

Because they’re hardcore… Duuhh.

I’m so hardcore that I wrote my initials on the sidewalk in front of my house with my finger when I was a kid.

The cement was already hard when I did it.

Can I play?

That just means you train in a naturally AC’d gym. Do you even break a sweat, pussy? :stuck_out_tongue:

You say wolves. I say periworkout nutrition.

That’s going to be an awesome avatar if the great Cheeky_Kea deigns to put wolves in there!

Lol, he should have a bear on each end of the bar, and deadlift them.

Regrets not posting fullsize pic right away.
