Hetyey225: Are you SURE you aren’t my older brother? I love him with all my heart; but there are sometimes when I could just CHOKE him with some of his rants. You do the SAME THING to me sometimes, 'BRO; I love ‘ya (in a Cyberspace kinda’ way), but sometimes your rants…(uuuggg!!!)
1)Here we have the "HITT-Meister" himself, suggesting that a woman (or man) can get results with endless hours in the gym (which MANY do), by lifting less weight than they lift while picking up the toys of the kids you are so worried about them spending time with? Give me a break, hetyey...A well thought out nutrition and resistance program should actually give you LESS time in the gym with GREATER results! (Sounds sorta' like Mentzer, huh?)
2)I’ve addressed your little taunt (…the results SHE wants…) in an earlier thread. What she (and he) most often wants ARE BIGGER MUSCLES! AGAIN, she may not say “I WANT BIGGER MUSCLES” but will say things like “I don’t want this underarm part to jiggle” (it won’t with bigger tris); “I want a butt like those women in the mags; firm…but not a ghetto-butt; just shapely” (you can with some squats, leg presses and lunges); “I want my calves more shapely” (my goodness…she’s GOTTA push more resistance than what she probably does much of the day!) Let’s take our Soccer Mom for example. She lifts groceries and kids in and out of mini-vans; she stoops all day long doing chores, picking up kids and toys. She may in fact be the Soccer coach! She then is supposed to go into the gym, lift LESS resistance than she probably faces most of the day, AND IS SUPPOSED TO GET RESULTS? Not in her lifetime…
3)The old "I've-gotta-make-a-living-so-I'll-rip-people-off-sell-em-crap-give-em-what-they-want-cause-there's-a-sucker-born-every-minute" argument. No argument that people have to make a living, hetyey. And American Marketing has always said "The Customer Is Always Right". But I have always found that with just a LITTLE subtle education, mixed with a little motivation and love ,people will slowly change AND YOU CAN STILL MAKE MONEY! Look at our old friend Bill Phillips. He got people lifting weights and into the gym whom had barely even SEEN a weight!(No exaggeration...my sweet little 'ole MOM asked me about "Body-For-Life!") Guess what with? A little motivation...a little education...and the guy is now a Multi-Millionaire! Don't give me the argument that you have to sell people a lot of crap in order to make a living. I think people are SOLD a lot of crap by people who KNOW only crap.
- No question…this is not just a “woman thang”…the Lion has pulled out the 'ole Credit Card in the middle of the night and purchased some Ab Thing, Wonder Diet, Zit Creme, Real Estate Seminar, Exercise Tapes (I admit it…even a Richard Simmons one, WAY back when!), Get Rich Scheme, etc. to have them all sit in my closet. But we learn (hopefully). Men can be as dumb (if not DUMBER) than women, and ripped off just as easily (if not EASIER…man…tap into that male ego and libido, and you can sell us almost ANYTHING! The Porn industry certainly knows that!). So…while the thread was about the female “bunny-lifters”…my comments are directed to both sexes. Believe me; the “Two Inch Squatter” is probably WORSE than the “bunny lifter”. At least she isn’t motivated by ego!
(By the way...I've kept a couple of those Ab Things and "Sweatin' To The Oldies" as a reminder to me to keep my Credit Card IN MY WALLET late at night!)Peace, "Big Brother!"
