I bet they made that shit up because they got tired of seeing 2 Van Dammes in the same frame.

No wait, I’m convinced they were afraid he would want to add a scene where he fucks himself into the script.

Doing more hard work now makes you weaker because internet rules.

Fixed the punctuation and then concurred.

I once gave a presentation in a speech class involving the fact that Chuck Norris may be Chuck Norris, but because of the historical documentary Time Cop, at any given time, there may be TWO JCVDs.

I cross referenced Doubled Impact for further proof.

I worked at a warehouse full time when I was learning how to deadlift. Thought my bad form was causing my back pain until I went down to 2 days a week when school started up again.

Now, with my time travel belt, I lift with a pre-warehouse back and regularly hit new personal bests

I confess that I found the Arnold Strongman Classic highly entertaining this year. I desperately want to build a wheel of pain in my backyard now.

Point being?

I can see how manual labor jobs can have a big impact on training, haven’t read the threads you mentioned though

Not saying it doesn’t especially if a person doesn’t take into account ones jobs physical demand and adjust accordingly. Be it less frequency volume or intensity. Along with looking into increaseing ones food intake. Last and not least additional rest if possible. What really makes my eyes roll is one guy wants to quit his job over it .

Details… Details

The summer between 11th & 12th grade was when I got hooked on lifting. I worked for my dad’s landscaping company at least eight hours a day M-F. I dug holes, attached sprinkler equipment, filled the holes back in. I also did clean out work where I loaded landscape rocks, dirt, etc into a wheel barrow and pushed it to the truck where I dumped it. Once I finished I got to do the same thing with the new materials.

After work I went to the gym and trained. After the gym I usually had a baseball game or practice. Games were double headers during the week and tournaments on the weekends.

An average day looked like this:

  • work from 6-2
  • train from 3-4ish
  • be at the back field from 5-10 or 11

I gained 20 lbs that summer.

That’s nothin’!

My cousin worked twice as long every day and gained 40 pounds!

Ok, so with this, we’ve learned that weight gain is linear, rather than exponential.

Knowing this, we see that, if you work 12 hours a day, you gain 20lbs. If you work 24 hours a day, you gain 40lbs.

Since there aren’t more hours in the day, this means we have finally found the natty limit.

Close up shop boys; we’re done here.

Im pretty sure I witnessed a straight up stare down between these two ladies at the gym today. Typical instagrammer had her eyes LOCKED on this power lifter who eventually started to stare back at her.

I then decided to make a complete circle around to the water fountain, instead of directly walking across from where I was to go between them, that way I didn’t have to walk through what I can only describe as a thick, seething, Estrogen-filled cloud of competitiveness.

This is exactly the start to the movie I wrote. I’m not going to say that it’s a porn movie but it’s a porn movie.

I miss the word “porno”

I have a whole new respect for parents that are in shape, and a whole extra level of respect for parents that weren’t in shape, and chose (and succeeded) to get in shape after they were a parent. Good lord haha
