Sour Grapes and The Under 200 Crowd

I bet you have ISHTAR on DVD as well .

You suck like a whore in a black hole.

I thought these were both quite humourous. To each his own though.

Where in heck do you come up with that one? Brahahahahahahaha.

Here’s one recent example: “I think there just jealous. Basic jealousy, because our types (metro/tlyer durden build) get laid more. Bottom line.”

Anyhow, if someone wants to look like his favorite comic book character, that’s fine. I’m no hater.

What is funny is how much effort little guys make in attacking bigger guys. It’s like they’re saying, “We’re okay. We’re okay. They’re the problem!”

Anyhow, being little is easy. I had a skinny build after lifting for a few months and supplementing with creatine.
So I don’t understand why so many little guys are here. What’s to discuss?

Simply eat 1,800-2,000 calories a day and show up in the weight room. It doesn’t really matter what you do - just move a few weights around 3 times a week. You’ll have the build of your favorite fictional character in no time.

Getting bigger and stronger, however, requires considerably more thought and planning. Which, of course, is why the little guys will always outnumber the big guys.[/quote]

…but you’re not big. You are average among lifters.

200 pounds means shit to those who use the metric system, its like 90.9kg.
I now live in england where that works out to just over 14 stone.

Both pretty meaningless numbers.

200lbs is small and I am amazed anyone can weigh LESS than that unless they are 5’5" or ripped to shreds or very thin.

women impressed by a new mobile phone are twits
women impressed by big muscles are twits
men impressed by big tits, are twits.

if that is all they care about … then their perspective is screwed.

the most important thing is that you enjoy spending time with your partner, because most of the time, that is what you are going to be doing, “hanging out” or whatever, you don’t want to be spending that time with someone who gets on your nerves or gives you the shits.

anyone who suggests even remotely that bigger muscles is the key to sexual or relationship bliss is nuts.

it is however important to take care of your health.

I lift weights because I love it.
Gravity is my friend.
It takes such effort to get the weight up, gravity helps me lower it.
I love it!

I hate aerobics, it bores the shit out of me.

If I had a 100% guarantee that 10 mins of aerobics 3x a week would get me some serious hot action then I still would not do it because it is so damned boring.

If I had a choice between that serious hot action, or instead, lifting weights, I’d pick the weights. I love it! I don’t do it for chicks.

Note however that I am married and this was probably all reversed way back when I was single.

What the hell was my point …

…oh yeah, do it because you love it. Not for some other screwy reason, like chicks.

Don’t give up easily, but if what you are doing is NOT working, DO SOMETHING ELSE until it does work.

Don’t call “sour grapes” - not that everyone who gives up does that, but some people do, and those people are idiots giving up on their desires.

Numbers like 200 are meaningless, all that matters is where you are now and where you want to go and what you want to do.

No matter what combination of weight, build, wealth, looks you are, no matter how freaky, hot, ugly, fat, thin you are, there are hundreds of potential mates out there who will think you are the hottest thing ever - whether or not you want to be with them is another matter. And then, finding them, yet another matter.

But nothing like “big muscles”, nor phone, money, looks, is ever going to make up for:

~ being a jerk
~ being too shy to talk / approach someone
~ meeting only women you don’t want to be with
~ staying at home and meeting nobody

Yadda yadda yadda. “I’m so big. Hear me roar.” Give it a rest.

If people respect you for that then fine but their respect cant really be worth that much.

What do you actually contribute to the world?

Now someone who is over say 250 and lean, that gets some respect due to the time and dedication the person has put in.

What does being 250 and lean contribute to the world?

[/quote]

I never said it contributed to the world only that a 250lb guy gets more respect than a 200lb guy. Not ‘god-like awe’ respect just ‘well done, you look good’ respect.

What do most of the posters on this board “contribute to the world”? I mean, honestly, how many people here are making the world a better place due to you breathing in it? [/quote]

What does my breathing have to do with other peoples contributions to the world? Youve lost me there.

Maybe you mean some sort of chaos theory along the line of ‘if a butterfly flaps its wings it causes a tornado on the other side of the world’

If Pedro breathes in Ireland his breath floats across the Atlantic and causes an american to distribute food to the homeless on thursday nights???

It’s the second time today you post that lame attempt at a joke. I’d like to make it clear to you that it’s not clever or funny, so that you won’t look like more of an ass than you already do when you try it for a third time.

Anyway, everyone knows that the “X” is where you insert the high-pressure relief valve when you need to let out a bit of hot air from Prof X.

Don’t abuse it, though. Last time we used it, we lost New Orleans.

Yeah ,and your last remark has me rolling over in stitches (LAME) . I bet you have ISHTAR on DVD as well .

That, too, was not funny.

An Ishtar reference?

You suck like a whore in a black hole.

Geez that’s witty …I bet your thirstier than a fag in a sperm bank .

First off: you’re. As in “You’re not funny.” or “You’re making everyone hate you.” or “You’re a witless douchebag troll who, in all probability, will soon go the way of Mr. Push-Ups or GoHeavyFool and have the mods ban his annoying, 17-year-old ass by the end of the wek.”

Second: um…that’s about it. [/quote]

That sounds about right.

Hilarious.

Squats and grapes?

Duh Harris! Squats and grapes

It seems to me that California Law
lays out some outrageous thread (like Lame Avatars)and then sits back to see who will bite. The next thing you know individual posters are attacking each other over stupid shit. I’m convinced he just sits back and laughs his ass off.

This thread, just like many others
should be viewed and not responded to.
But, here I am responding. He got me too !

I come here to have fun/for the entertainment. This used to be a place where serious athletes congregated. There were a lot of interesting REAL WORLD discussions. Now… not so much.

I would love to have discussions with guys who are training for a fight or a strongman competition. I enjoy learning how athletes ACTUALLY train. But that’s hard to find here.

There are a few guys I respect and whose contributions I really enjoy. For the most part, though, this site is becoming populated with guys who goal is to become as “big” as I was after training for four months.

And then there are the Roland Fishers, i.e., people who have accomplished nothing but who want to share their wisdom with the world. When no one listens, they scream louder.

And then there are the fanboys… They’ve never even read Supertraining or any other classics, but are convinced that the latest article they read contains the truth. And they will fight to the Internet death defending the object of their affection.

Like “boy band” fans, they don’t have any perspective on what has staying power. If people have been reading, say, something like Supertraining for decades, perhaps one should read such texts before determing whether the latest Internet article is a “classic” or the “bes ever.” Right?

And let’s not even get started about the seemingly thousands of guys who “do MMA/BJJ,” but who have never been into a ring - let alone a submission grappling tournament.

They know everything about fighting, though. Even though just about every past and current fighting champion does some sort of road work, the people who have NEVER fought are willing to say that’s ineffective. How can they know this? They read it somewhere, of course!

I could be bitter about the “characters,” or I could adapt to this new world and have some fun.

I disagree with this assertion. Why can’t I be impressed by big tits, much like I am impressed by a gigantic dog or a tall skyscraper. It doesn’t mean that I want them, just that I can recognize that they are impressive for what they are. This makes me a twit?

People who can’t acknowledge that something is impressive, for fear of being seen as weak, because they don’t have it, are twits. (Sorry, that’s an awkward sentence).

I have absolutely no idea!!! Something about a new mobile phone, ugly people and bulking with sour grapes, I think.

I’m not getting you. This statement must be sarcasm but that doesn’t fit with the character of the post, or the thread. Please tell me you’re kidding.

Again, I’m not getting you. You started this thread, which way did you think it was going to go? Toward athletic training??

You want hardcore athletic training talk? Follow threads Utfootball is active in. That guy is hard core. Check out Mertdawg and Modi as well. There are plenty on here talking training. Those guys know there shit, too.

Please. Please.

Just shut up.

It’s NOT FUNNY.

I repeat:

NOT.

FUNNY.

Plus, I think the Prof’s avatar looks kind of cool.

It really fucking boggles my mind every time it’s brought up that somehow weightlifting = getting more women.

Chicks dig it, but it’s icing on the cake, and doesn’t mean a fucking thing if you don’t treat them right. And I’ve said it before, the guy who can make them laugh will get three times as many women as the guy who weightlifts but can’t.

Christ, I really wonder how many of you get off the computer once in a while.

I don’t see many people claiming getting big = more chicks but I do see people claiming the opposite.
