Ok so was this thread really 9 pages worth of new people trying to get invited into the T-cell? Couldn’t they just have PM’ed someone instead of starting a 9 page bitch a thon?[/quote]

It started out good, with Stringers post then went downhill with people wanting to join, then went even further downhill when Prof. X lost the plot, then went even further downhill with the quasi homo love in between some members.

And now hopefully it has reached the end.

That’s quite impossible, no sooner will 3 posts be made some “functional” guy or some guy who thinks bodybuilders are disgusting and the thread will desend into choas.

Theres 3 threads left worth typing in that seem to be hi-jack free.

BrotherHood of Iron Thread
DC Training Thread (even if your not Dcing no idiots in it)
Kuz’s 5/3/1 Thread

Anything else but those have fun with the above people.

Now, see. That was way better than my summarization.

You look pretty honest, I’ll take your word for it!

[300andabove]

The field of strength training has always been, and will always be, a dick measuring contest. Everyone feels their dick (training philosophy) is better than the next. They will do whatever it takes to make their dick look bigger, while at the same time trying to make the other guyâ??s dick look smaller. We see this every day in the criticism we hear and read. The fact of the matter is that we all (except females) have dick, weâ??ve had them our entire lives. Nothing will change this fact. There is also not a whole lot we can do about the size of our member, so regardless of whose dick you think is bigger, if itâ??s anyoneâ??s dick at all, it makes zero difference. What matters is how you blow your nut.

You see, if we really compared one dick to the next, it wouldnâ??t matter if one guy was four inches bigger than the other because the smaller guy would walk away muttering about how he lost because the other guy was on drugs, had cosmetic surgery, was half hard before the contest, or wore looser briefs (less daily compression). The smaller guy may also say it was colder on his side of the room, he didnâ??t sleep well, or his briefs were tighter. The point is that the excuses will always deflect attention from the fact that the guy has a smaller dick. BUT - it’s still his dick and he will always know better how it works than the other guy. What we are really talking about here is whose dick works better, aren’t we? Who blows the better nut? Yet, before we can debate this, we need to define what a good nut is, correct? Whether itâ??s volume, duration, shakes, how fast or slow? What is it? What would be defined as â??the best nutâ???

I guess this would have to be defined by the dick that blows it. I’m sure we can all agree that every dick is looking for the same general outcum: to blow a nut. Good, now we know the size of the dick (training philosophy) doesnâ??t matter as long as one blows a nut. This is where I look at things differently. I know how big my dick is, and I know how I like to blow a nut, but I have a community to serve where everyone has different dicks. Some know how to blow a nut, while others are still looking for the best way. Actually, do we ever stop looking for a better way to blow a nut? Hell, Iâ??m still looking for the perfect nut and haven’t found it yet. Because I’m looking for the perfect nut, I see this process as nothing more than self-serving masturbation. I see the strength community as a huge circle jerk. I want to see how everyone blows their nut. Granted, 90% of what we all do is the same (pull pants down, grab dick, move hand, etc), but what I want to see is the 10% that’s different.

You see, some guys love to crank as fast as they can (the dynamic method). Some will smack the shit out of it (shock training). Some will crank hard, let go and crank hard again (rest-pause). Many will use a regular grip for 10 strokes and then flip to reverse grip for 10 (muscle balance). Others will grab as hard as they can and stroke hard and slow for a few reps (max effort method). Others will use a steady pace (repetition method). Some try to blow as fast as they can (HIT training). Others try to make it last (volume training). Hell, some even use bands and chains (Westside), while others like to just lay it flat and palm it around for half the time, then flip it the last half (upper/lower body splits). I could go on and on, because there are hundreds of ways to blow a nut.

The point I’m making is that while my philosophy is grounded on going hard and heavy, I may not always have the time or metal attitude to do it. In cases like this, some slapping and lube can go a long way. There are other times when my hand may go numb, and I need to add in some rest-pause training. Finally, if I have the time, nothing beats a good high volume session.

In the end I WILL blow my nut. Who cares how I get there?

In summary, I could always just beat off in front of a mirror and tell myself how great I am, or I can join a circle jerk and watch what others do in case the time comes when I have a hard time getting off.

What I try to do on this site is provide a canvas of nut stains, so when the time cums, you can blow the biggest nut of your life!

I started my training in a hardcore gym called Oates gym and had a great variety of people and some were very comical and some very serious and successful in BB. Everyday had someone spouting off about how great they or their buddy was going to do in the next BB show.

I would hear about their training and diet ideas with delusions of grandeur to only hear an excuse why they didn’t show up for the show or why they didn’t place. Most had no potential to be a BB, but you know what, those days were the best days of my training. It didn’t matter. I made a lot of friends and the gym was ALIVE.

We han clowns, wannabes, regular Joes, powerlifters, BB, and of course girls. It was very entertaining but still a great training enviornment. My point of this post is that if you are reading this site then you should expect some real advice from a few successful people and you will see some BS from others.It is just like gym talk between sets or a protein drink.

We should respect each other but have thick skin. Forums are not really much different then the real gym except that you cannot see anyone face to face or watch them really training. I would like to see more pics in member’s profiles so I can see what they look like as they are giving out their training ideas. So far I am impressed to some of the pics that go along with some of the BIG talk.[/quote]

Off topic, but your bicep pick reminds me of Joe Bucci. Some of the younger guys might not know who that is though. Peaks like that are pretty rare.

And finally ending my involvement in this thread, more summary from Tate:

In summary: If you sit on your ass and expect things to happen - you’re wrong. They won’t. Nobody will give you anything - you have to work and earn it. People also don’t give a shit about what you say you will do. Hell, you will be lucky if they give a shit after you do it.

The bottom line is a weight will not move without effort. You can always lift light shit with little effort but expect the same in return (little reward). Straining harder will require more effort and risk but the return will be higher.

Still nobody will give a shit so make sure your doing it for the right reasons.

Interesting when you think about it. Nobody does really give a shit (except those who are very close to us and that’s still a maybe) yet when faced with criticism people get pissed. To get pissed about this means an assumption has been made that someone did give a shit in the first place. The assumption is wrong so why care about something that they don’t care about in the first place?

The only one who needs to care is YOU. My question would be if you can’t handle the work, strain, stress, pressure, etc than maybe you really don’t give a shit either because if you did you would be too busy trying to get better.

Or something like that.

When everyone else started to grow taller at 12-14 my biceps grew instead. Don’t do much more than regular DB curls.

No, just fat in the chest area. I had pubertal gyno removed from my other nipple, which is why it looks different than my puffy one.

Stringer- Obviously you are an old poster who came back to bust this place up. Your avatar even slyly points to your anti-establishment position. Why not settle down and talk some training, instead of all this stuff about the operations of the forum? We are here to talk about training, not talk about the forum that talks about the training. We understand things are messed up in your mind, but it ain’t changing anytime soon.

look man enough with all the quasi pyscho analysis BS. your assumptions are all incorrect.

go through my posts. i do talk training and have done in the combat, strength and steroids forums. as well as this same forum. i did not make this thread and am merely commenting on it, like you yourself are.

one thing i am in agreement with you over is that we are here to talk training.

so modok, serious question, how big are your arms cos they look huge. 19s?

ive read that you have smallish wrists and maybe therefore not the greatest genetics. did you have any major sticking points along the road to getting those big arms and if so, what was your way of getting around it? massive eating, or a specific training approach?

hopefully you reply to my honest question and we can maybe turn this thread into something productive for the board.

Apologies if I’ve missed your posts in the other threads. But, why do you come off as so mad in your recent posts? I just don’t understand these threads which have nothing to do with anything but the forum itself.

I guess the arms are around 20 give or take. Last time I wrapped them was a couple years ago when I was dieted completely down and they were a shade over 19. The sticking points I’ve encountered really have to do with the small bone structure I have. I’ve had stress fractures twice due to curling too much weight with a straight bar, so its been dumbells only for the bis for a while. Besides that its just progressive overload and consistency. That will take you as far as you can go really.

And work in a pharmacy.

Kidding, kidding…

Ah yes…because being a pharmacist allows you to take scheduled drugs like M and Ms. There is absolutely no paperwork or oversight to it. Just grab what you want. Its freakin’ fantastic. I’m stoned on Oxycontin right now, actually.

I was the same way, mine just didn’t have that shape. I don’t think Bucci was ever competative at high level but he made a ton of money in adds for all the muscle mags. If I were you that would be something I’d consider.

Sure, I look like shit and didn’t achieve even half of my goal, but I’m making steady and visible progress (IMO).

Yeah, that’s progress, but man…five years? I hope you’ve got more to show for it in five more years.

I will! I made many mistakes, I learned my lesson. I want to be huge for my 40th birthday!
[/quote]

How does one go five whole years making progress that minimal without changing anything to solve that problem?

5 years? You are now in your late 30’s. It is going to be significantly harder trying to make up the time you lost than it would have been even when you started.

This right here is why I am against this overly lax attitude when it comes to how most here approach their training.

These authors give you all an excuse by designing this shit to match the goals of people who really aren’t trying to get anywhere but want to feel like they are apart of something.

Some of you should complain less about the few people in that forum who aren’t progressing and spend more time reading from those who make the rest of you look like you don’t even train.
