What's the Point in Getting Huge?

Hmmm…obsession is bad. I guess anything done to extreme is obsession, right? Looks to me like Mother Theresas’ life was a total waste. And Olympic atheletes, boy was all that training a waste of time. And as for that fool here at the Base that trains both powerlifting and bodybuilding and weighs 220+, that really must have kept him back. After all, getting his officers commission while becoming a Medical Doctor really didnt take THAT much work. If he wouldnt have gotten that big, he surely would have accomplished so much more.

I can’t speak for everyone out there, but for myself getting “huge” is not about how other people see me. I like working out and seeing changes in my body. I like setting goals for myself and accomplishing them.

I care very little about how other people see me. They may admire me, or they may think I’m a dumb musclehead, but oh well. I don’t think of myself as ‘better’ than skinnier people. I was skinny once, and that’s ok. Not everyone has the same goals so I don’t expect people to be jealous of my body.

As for 160lb MMA fighters kicking my ass… yeah, they probably can. But most people arent trained in Muay Thai. I’m not the type to push people around, but being strong certainly helps in certain situations. If I get in a fight with a skinny guy who isn’t trained in martial arts, I’ll probably toss him around like a rag doll.

Then again… I’m hardly “huge”. What do I know?

my post wasn’t directed towards you. I’m building muscle too, but to an extent, I just want to know why people want to become 250+ lbs of solid muscle, what is the underlying reason?? is a person life so mediocre and unfulfilling that they have to dedicate their life to becoming as big as possible rather then doing other activities that wouldn’t restrict your movements if your not so musclebound.

Live and let live, bro.

Why do people do anything that is different from what you do? Because everyone has their own priorities. That’s life. If everyone thought and acted in the same way, life would be boring.


I wish my nickname was Big Boss.

It keeps posting. And the people, they keep answering it. This is curious to me.


Check out this Japanese unit…


Kana Tsugihara, for you stalking types. Japanese balconies are pretty easy to scale…

Once more, what have YOU done to help others with your own life?

As for me I’m already going into my second year of my deg. in poli sci. then its off to law school. My goal is just to be big enough to stand out a bit and not go through the obsession, which you seem to think equals dedication. Obsession hurts only yourself in the end.[/quote]

  1. You’re in 2nd year poli sci planning to become a lawyer (which means you are approx 19-21 years old).

    • Please refer to the first sentence of the above quote and answer your own question. I am assuming that you will in fact make it to law school and become a lawyer, and also assuming that you believe it to he helpful to others to become a lawyer in these times and in this economy.
  2. For the last 2 statements in the above quote, until you have reached this size of ‘big enough to stand out’, WITHOUT becoming ‘Obsessed’, then you do not get to pass judgment on anyone who has reached or surpassed that size. Gaining size is not easy, this is easily seen in the simple fact that most ppl, even those who workout consistently, dont appear to be anything too impressive (look around your gym).

Op’s gf obviously left him for a big jacked dude and he’s all pissy cuz he’s a scrawny loser who couldnt do shit about it. Stop being jealous kid

And to answer the question of the original poster, the reason I put so much emphasis on getting huge is so that I can look like “Abobo”.

I used to play Double Dragon a lot as a kid. It was a tremendous game, but unfortunately, “Abobo privileges” were never granted to the player. You had to choose between Billy and Jimmy Lee, two generic 50’s style greasers who were only distinguishable by their contrasting red and blue vests and slightly different hairstyles. These two had the charisma of an evaporating saucer of milk, but hey, it was 1987 and with an 8-bit machine, “you gets what you gets”. But I digress.

I was always in awe of Abobo, and to a greater extent his cousin, Green Abobo. The guy was so big that he’d make the screen flicker. Heaven forbid you got 4 Abobos tossing barrels at you simultaneously…the resulting flickering could induce seizures. Sometimes I’d intentionally let Abobo beat up on me, just to witness his awesomeness. I knew I wanted to be like him, but I had some limitations, namely that I was white and completely lacking in musculature.

As I grew older, my obsession with Abobo only intensified. My room was tastefully adorned with various Abobo merchandise (yes, you can find it if you look hard enough!) throughout my teens and twenties. It certainly made dating awkward…girls don’t like discussing Abobo-related topics for some reason. I hit the gym hard in hopes of emulating his brick wall-shattering physique, but the pigmentation problem remained, and continues to remain.

“What’s the point in getting huge?”. TO BE LIKE ABOBO.

Cherrymenos strikes me as one of the very few here replying with non-reactive amusement, a great sense of humor and…one very SEXY allure indeed!

That’s level 11 ghey.

That doesn’t look like a troll. Looks more like a hedgehog.

^^I’d bang her.

I’m jealous. All he had to do is be completely moronic and away we go. Yet, subtlety of wit goes unappreciated around here.

To the OP: Welcome back, Zap, yah big lug!!
