PX: I haven’t run around the country, but I’ve been attending the Night of Champions, now the New York Pro, for the better half of the past 12 yrs. I also have attended the Hercules and several Atlantic States Championships.
Where did I say NO ONE in the audience works out. Also, if ALL of them didn’t, I wouldn’t give a shit either, because I’m there to see the people onstage, just as when I attend Citi Field for a ball game, I don’t give a shit who in the audience can hit home runs or who can pitch at blinding speeds, or when I’m at Randall’s Island for a track and field event, I don’t give a shit who in the audience can run a sub-10-sec 100-m sprint. Most people in attendance don’t care either. And why should they?
I DID say things specifically to you, but this thread was about a topic–namely, how much sacrifice people are willing to put up with–NOT YOU. And yeah, I put it in the nutrition and supplements section simply because it has to do with nutrition to a degree, I’m more interested in nutrition, and I didn’t want to venture into the GAL section, because this section, like the SAMA section is swarming, OVER-FUCKING-RUN, with younger, or immature posters or simply overgrown (25+ yrs) babies with intellects and libidos of 15 years olds!
So I didn’t want it in the BB section because obviously SERIOUS recreational AND competitive BBers ARE willing to go to great limits, and I didn’t want it in the GAL section because of absolute fucking retards who come to blurt in abruptly shit like, “Pics or it didn’t happen!” or “We a hawdcaw bunch; get out da way o’ we gun make ya get out da way!” or “It’s survival of da fittest; I’m da most accomplished man on dis bawd: I earn da mid-6 figyas and bang a new chic everyday” or any sort of other bullshit I’ve seen here.
And not just you, but many on here speak VERY simply or interpret things the wrong way. LIFE is a complicated business. There ARE people who can’t earn the money they need or want while still trying to get 18-20 in guns and there are people who are VERY jacked AND loaded. It all depends on how your career AND life is set up. My cousin is currently working like a fucking maniac in NYC - Times Square - for MTV. She gets up VERY early for the train from NJ and gets home at 11:30 at night sometimes. Is this conducive for her to be worthy of figure competitor or BBer status? I think not, and I don’t care to hear shit like, “If she just made time for it. She should be striving to be above average in ALL areas of life.” Let’s get fucking real. You can’t be above average in everything, and Dave Tate, a successful businessman AND former BBER and PLer has said that on here over and over and over again. But perhaps he has more of an effect than I do because he’s HUUUUGE - as if being HUGE is something that must be feared and respected at all times. I once even caught flack because I criticized Scott Abel’s writing style because I’m not as big as he. That was fucking funny. Imagine that: I can’t criticize writing style because I’m not big.
I brought up a casual discussion for us to take part in. You say people are in your way. They’re not! You go to the gym and lift reguarly and get adequate nutrition. How are we in your way?
And how are we not serious? I exercise 5 to 6 times per week and make it a priority to do so, and eat a certain way for health and appearance. How is this not dedicated?
And I’m so sick and tired of the criticism of average. WAKE UP CALL FOLKS: MOST PEOPLE don’t even have the raw genetics (eg, athletic ability, IQ) and characteristics to be above average (hyperenergetic versus dull, hard-drivenness versus laziness, energy versus fatigue. And don’t tell me people can BECOME hard driven; you’re laid back or you’re hard driven) What do we do with them? Kill them? Throw them off a fucking cliff? They actually fill job spots in this society that are needed (eg, secretary, many civil service jobs).
