Do you ever quit before reaching climax in order to “avoid failure”?
When and if I do, I make sure to note it in my log. It would look something like this:
3/25/09:
Warm-up: Tonsil Ticklers - 3 sets of 8 (got off on the wrong foot here…think I tweaked something in my frenulum…oh well…gonna push through it.)
Oil Riggers: ME 5 sets of 3 (dammit…slowed down on the 4th set…fucking pizza for lunch is sitting right in my gut)
Rusty Trombones: I hate these. Cranked out 3 sets of 10 and then one for 11 (PR !!! YAYYYYY ME !!!)
Running Doggie Pentrators: Forgot my knee pads so had to take it easy…where’s my fucking mind? Man…3 sets of 12…I must be overtrained…need to deload with a lighter pussy I guess.
Jerk it and Clean to the Chin: Planned on doing 20 sets of singles with 60 seconds rest in between sets…couldn’t finish…called it a day.[/quote]

Everyone is being a pussy sometimes. Today I left the gym halfway in my strenght training because I forgot my mp3. I can’t focus with the fucking loud pop-rock they play at my gym.It just irritate me alot. Now I plan to go to the gym in 2 hours after eating.
Bringing any good books with you?[/quote]
Man, I was at teh gym today and they didn’t have Good Housekeeping ! I threw such a fit ! How could I possibly exercise without finding out 9 low-fat recipes to make in under 30 minutes !?!? I know that dood with the purple head band stoled it even though it say “gym property” on it.
I’ve been doing complexes for the last six weeks. It seems like when I start my workout I have people around me, but by the time I’m half way through nobody is in that corner of the gym anymore. It’s like I’ve scared everone away.
One thing that really drives me crazy are the people that get on the treadmill, put it at an incline and hang on for dear life. What they hell do they expect to get from that? I told a guy the other day he should let go and he almost fell off, then immediately went back to hanging on.

But while I understand the point you are trying to make, I have grown tired of this dismissive measurement (15") as if that could in no way represent achievement of any kind. I know my experience may be an exception (though not exceptional) I have to think there is a decent sized population here starting with much smaller arms than you assume.
Not sure what to suggest as an alternative, but since you have expressed concern for the newbies here–perhaps you can take this into consideration.

dude come on.
you came onto a bodybuilding forum trying to get your achievement of 15" arms ‘recognized’.
that’s my point. am i supposed to ‘praise’ you and tell you what a friggin awesome job you did getting yourself to the norm?

Is it me, or have you been super arrogant lately? (I didn’t read this whole thread)[/quote]
I’d go with douchey, myself.
That could be because I didn’t read Tex Ag’s posts and jump to the conclusion that he was demanding praise… but, then again, Tex did go and write that he didn’t think his arms were big and that his experience thus far hasn’t been exceptional, so I guess he was kinda asking for it…
Or, it could just be because some people equate hardcore with being a senseless prick.

-When I finish my heaviest set, I am out of breath.
When you finish your set, you:
a) Feel refreshed.
b) Feel giddy.
c) Feel like turning to the next page of that really good book.
d) Call that girl from last night and use the bench as a phone booth.
-When I lift, I am training far outside of my comfort zone and have to really push to get that last rep.
When you lift, you:
a) Wonder whether that girl on the exercise bike thinks one 25lbs plate on each side looks really sexy.
b) See someone bigger than you, mutter, “steroids” and then finish up with 50 reps of nothing but the bar.
c) Pull your Affliction T-shirt up to your chin 40 times an hour so that you, the people standing next you and that partially cute girl at the front counter can check out your amazing abs of steal that you have masterfully attached to your 156lbs physique.
d) Stop in between each set to shadow box 6 inches in front of the mirror and 1 inch in front of the dumbbell rack.
I am just trying to figure out where everyone stands.
Could someone let me know if sweat is out of style now? I hate being out of fashion at the gym.[/quote]
Why are you dissing me. I’m training to get Obama arms.

Back on topic:
-When I get to the gym, I have been looking forward to being here all day, I have been eating and drinking to make sure my body is at its best to do what I have planned to do, I am so fucking excited I have been pretending Darth Vader’s theme song is playing while I walk through the locker room and into the gym.
You:
"Don’t feel like being here on a Monday (substitute any day of the week) !![/quote]
I’ll be honest, I have days when my body wants to sleep in and skip the gym, and my mind goes, “screw you, we’re going”.
DUDES! As I was taking a breather from hams drinking my 4th Rockstar I saw Affliction man!!! Fucking badass! LMAO! I actually had some Blue come out my nose. I just remembered this thread and almost started cracking up. One hardcore sum bitch with the 80lbers always pulling a Big Ron when his set is over to the fear of the other trainers.
Check this, he was wearing his Spys inside of the gym! HE WAS THAT HARDCOREZ! I really had to remove myself before I broke out laughing. Take one oversized fitted cap, one undersized Affliction shirt, one pair of oversized Nike sweats, and one barrel chested more likely than not “I’m a fighter” line using skinny fat and you can get the picture.
look guys, my goal here isn’t to be some arrogant prick(but here comes the but)
BUT…
this is Testosterone Nation. i thought this forum was a place of guys who live the “T-lifestyle” that TC preaches about every friday. guys that lift heavy shit, bang hot chicks, slam the tapout wearing pricks on their face, able to talk shop with top coaches in the fitness industry without sounding like a jackass, and teach the new guys a thing or two.
so i read a post of a guy complaining he’s taking flak because he has 15" arms. or he’s a skinny/fat 5’7 160lb guy. WHAT THE FUCK. of course i’m going to be arrogant. do you guys instantly forget what some of the members here look like? onemorerep, mightystu, blaque.ops, prof x, BBB, live781. those guys post and i think, “fuck yeah, those guys are awesome, those are the kind of people i want to read/interact with when i come to this site.”
the same goes for memebers who know their shit, restrain themselves from flexing their nuts every 5 min, and are slowly on their way to getting bigger/getting leaner.
i read a post about how some guy “can’t stand it when a guy is wearing an ed hardy shirt when he works out”
how about i can’t stand it when some prick who just started lifting weights realizes he can make up an internet persona and be a hardcore badass. or a guy logs into TESTOSTERONE NATION DOT FUCKING COM and then suggests that he not get flak b/c his arms are only 15"
shit guys.
(btw, if i forgot to include your name, i’m sorry, i love everyone just as equally)
