The Bodybuilder Bunker

This is a nice segway into this question:

Should you have a training partner? Discuss.

Having a trainer partner is the best thing you could do for your training. When I say training partner, I mean one that is in sync with you, that will keep the momentum high and push you, and one that will keep the mood up. Of course, this means that will be YOU sometimes.

Find a good training partner if you really want to excel in bodybuilding.

Yes. But only if they ARE actually good and going to push you to new heights. A shitty training partner is only going to hold you back. Never train with someone simply to have a spot. That’s what racks are for.

I agree with the Prof,that was a touch Orwellian.

Ouch

Dude they invented tupperware and ziplocs a long time ago.

I carry 2 ziplocs anytime I’m out for for several hours and don’t think I’ll get a meal.

1 ziploc-Supps
1-ziploc-protein powder or left over meat

This brings up an issue that pisses me off to no end, so pardon my little rant:

Why is it that the little 13" arm cunts are usually the ones crying about the evils of plastic food containers, and all the xeno-estrogens?

Luck you little fucker - try eating some damn food instead of micro analyzing the bowl it is stored in.

Eat the fucking food, asshole. Stop staring at the fucking bowl.

Rant over.

Good post. I am grilling enough beef right now to last the next week and it will be stored in…GASP…plastic containers and vacuum sealed packages. The people worrying the most about this shit look the most feminine as it is.

Plus, what is the alternative, really? I bring 2-3 Nalgene water bottles to the gym. One with my pre-workout mix, one with my workout shake, and one with post-workout. What should I use? Glass bottles? They would undoubtedly break.

Okay… anyway, back to the question about training partners. Obviously I’ve had a shitty partner the last year and a half. Again, as I said earlier, he’s the kind of guy who “eats big stuff” like granola bars and a chicken breast at a time. He talks as he’s about to go set up for a squat. When I tell him his form is shit and he’s not even going parallel, he looks at me and doesn’t say anything.

Needless to say, I’ve been trying to dissociate myself from him as far as training is concerned in the last few months. Outside of a spot, he’s as useful to me as an asshole on an elbow.

Since I’ve been working more on my own, I’m more focused, have been getting bigger lifts, and motivating myself.

So if you can find a training partner who’s on the same level as you, I think they’re a great idea. If not, don’t even bother.

Fuck right man, and fuck these faggots telling me not to heat my coffee in a plastic cup in the microwave. Xenoestrogens…I think the fact you even think about that shit on a regular basis proves that you, yourself, are a fucking estrogen problem.

And, along with that, I won’t repeat who said it but: fuck the what a certain person said about peanut butter have phytoestrogens and therefore should never be consumed, ever, not even the natural kind.
To you I say, thankyou have I’ll have another mouthful of peanut butter and whipped cream (good combo guys).

This is why I love DC’s way of thinking about things like xenoestrogens:

Yeh but will in make the difference in whether or not you gain 10lbs of muscle this year…no?..Then fuck worrying about it.

On the subject of training partners, yeh they can be a great asset, or a great liability. I’d say if you can find one who helps you more than harms you, then go for. If not: don’t bother.

My new favorite thread on T-Nation. Lets get to building guys.

Partners can be very beneficial at times, and a hindrance at other times. Its very, very difficult to find a training partner that can train at the same time you do all the time. And you need someone who is going to push you like crazy and keep you safe.

Obviously don’t wanna hijack the thread but I want to put it in here cuz obviously some of the smarter guys hang around:

Anybody can answer via PM for the sake of the thread:

But is there anything aside from say DIM and sort of think that can act as SERM without actually being one of the actual ones. I know that sounds stupid, and I’ve looked into research chems and such but I’d like to explore other options first. If you think you can help me out pop me a PM.

As a side question that brings up: Are we gonna discuss bodybuilding supplementation in this thread, provided its not the typical do you need to cycle creatine type bullshit, but rather something ‘alternative’ or something that can be learned from. I don’t care if we don’t but I was just wondering since we discussed NSAIDS.

Continuing on my xenoestrogens rant, dont you think its funny that the guys who parrot this shit are often the least developed or at least extremely ‘slow’ to develop if you will. No doubt it their genetics…

Wish I could, but I’m in Arkansas.

@Xenoestrogens:

It’s an excuse to stay small.

My rant WAS that a certain diet championed by a certain author sucks ass, and no one who trains for body building should be allowed to utter the name of the diet in this thread.

Evidently, either the author or the mods are chicken shit cowards and do not allow anyone to speak against the glory that is the unmentionable diet.

Well, I was wondering the whole time what you post was about cuz I hadn’t checked the thread in several hours. I get the gist. Horseshit.

RJ, I doubt anyone will mention the authors and their work here. It’s not like any of us read the articles (well at least not without use of analytical skills). However, if someone DOES mention any BS, we’ll just flame 'em to death.

Seconded?

Exactly the same way I do.

Needless to say I’m not shocked.

I figured my post would get deleted about phytoestrogens and peanut butter which is why I didn’t give the name out.

Of course, it wouldn’t surprise anyone. He always has a bridge to sell. And his bridges often will put 30lbs of LBM on you in one month.

Yes, Fulmen, seconded.

I know I’ve been on this site too long for this, especially when what was written was not crossing any lines stated by this website.

There are apparently quite a few sheep with big bucks to spend that could be easily swayed by a few choice words by some members here.

Me neither, there’s a member who’s rejoined three times as his acct has been deleted over petty shit like this.

Exactly, if there are no rules how do break one.
