The Flame-Free Confession Thread

I wonder if I can think of some actual lifting related ones instead of human-animal combat ones…

I think steroids should be legalized and regulated in America.

I think geared powerlifting is diluting the sport, and I wish it didn’t exist. I wish there were only one or two federations max as well.

I think fast food isn’t that bad for you.

I don’t think there is any point to eating vegetables. They’re just like really filling multivitamins.

I don’t think you need as much water as people say. If my body needed that much water I’d be a lot thirstier and it wouldn’t feel like such a chore.

Don’t ever change

No flaming? Okay, suck on this one:

I honestly believe that you don’t need to keep getting stronger to build larger muscles. Yes, it will happen to some degree invariably, but some of the best competitors I’ve ever met are also among the “weaker” (relatively of course) ones. Of course this isn’t always the case, but the “a stronger muscle is always a bigger muscle” saying is complete bunk IMO".

Right! You can get stronger without becoming bigger. However, a bigger muscle IS a stronger one.

This is why I think the whole “beating the log book” thing, although it’s important, is not the whole picture.

I may get flamed for this but I believe that virtually no one In the world got “built” by eating Mc Donald’s and playing basketball all day long.

That’s above my pay-grade lol. I’m honestly not sure how it would work, and I’ve never used so my knowledge is limited. I just remember Dorian Yates talking about something similar due to some of the problems people have these days with the efficacy, purity, and safety of the gear they buy from some random schmuck they have to trust isn’t screwing them.

The issue I see with this is the same issue I see with legalizing marijuana.
Legalizing it will not stop the illegal sale of the “drug”
Increased state and federal revenue from taxation is all well and good but some(most?) users would still purchase their product from their sources and pay less than in a store.

I’m not sure about legalizing it but I think de demonizing them would be a good start.
There are so many potentially helpful applications.

Maybe not for strength goals / powerlifting. I think they are very useful for physique training though. Finishers, no spotters, etc…

http://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/music_movies_girls_life/one_hundred_people_versus_a_bear?id=1215149&pageNo=1 I think if we only picked the strongest, fastest, biggest, and most fucking crazy/motivated members of our species it would be easy… Everyone taking multiple grams of test for years at a time, and trained for this shit by the way. :slight_smile:

I’m glad you said this. I have been lifting for MMC/chasing the pump since the beginning of the year and have exploded. My numbers haven’t been going up much, but each session I feel I can work the muscles “harder” with the same weight.

this would get absolutely destroyed in any other part of this forum, but I think that a ripped 170-180 lb dude (at my height 5’9" ish) is much more impressive looking than a 220 lb dude carrying extra bodyfat. One is clearly bigger and more muscular, and one can clearly commit and stick to a diet. I’m not ragging on the dudes that just don’t care about being lean, do your own thing, but don’t try to convince me you look better than a photo shoot ready fitness model because you look bigger.
