I agree.
I train for several reasons. To perform better in my job, to look better for women, and to feel healthier and better about myself.

I hate when I buy a box of Magnum XL’s and the check-out girls follow me out to the parking lot.

I started lifting at 16 years old,5 '9", 130 lbs. I gained 26 lbs in 9 months while running 8 miles a day. I maintaind for a year then stopped running and gained 61 lbs in 13 months and eventually got up to 261 lbs. Ok, I doubled my weight in a short amount of time. To more exact it took about 5 and a half years. To lessen the problems below I had to lower my weight to 237. You get the idea. I shaved my head now I have some problems like the rest of you.
I have to explain to people who it is that I am and actually require my 10th grade ID as proof. It is the only way people remember what I looked like and that I am indeed who I claim. Thank god my voice is high like Mike Tyson or they might never believe me.
My neck is a little above 19" and it has been up to 20". My neck and traps are too big to look over my shoulder, park my car, look to switch lanes (I just guess and hope after turning my whole upper body). People assume that I?m dumb. They ask me questions about lifting when I?m out. Now I tell them to email me their question. They never really do. This saves me time.
My chest was 52? and when I leaned over I would pop the stitches on the back of my shirt. My quads were 31? and consequently too big to get past parallel. As a result I could not get jeans and I had to have girls but my shoes on for me. I wear flip flops, XL t-shirts, and Adidas sandles all year round. I also have a small bone structure my wrists were 7 inches, now they?re 8 but my muscles far exceed my bone structure. I hate clothes! I can?t button the top two buttons on my shirts. All my sleeves are too long so I have to cuff them. I spent $35 dollars to get a blazer tailored. I need new clothes every year. How do you get clothes for a 52? chest for a man 5?9?? I’m too big to lay on my stomach and go down on a girl. I have to sit her on my face. There is no choice. People stare at me when I lift. It’s not that much weight, move on.
People on the street are scared of me especially I shaved my head. No minorities will look me in the eye. I swear I?m not going to kill you. I?m also not a cop. I guess that?s enough.

These are the results I want. Good job, man.
Excellent and right on the money!

I love the attention to a point. I won’t ever lie about that. I also understand some of these guys just started and are just beginning to get some comments thrown at them and it is a shock to them. When I was in high school, if someone had made any comment to me about me “getting swole”, that would have made my day. The real question is, how negative is it really that people talk about it?

Thats because no amount of lifting will change the fact that your an ugly motherfucker. The only difference now is that you’re also covered in zits.
I love these stupid stories.
“Everyone thinks I’m a bouncer”
That’s because you act like a fucking idiot swaggering around and giving dirty looks.
All you big tough guys…this is my advice…
Be more humble. There is nothing cooler than a easygoing big dude. You know he is in control of his world and doesnt need to do any postureing. He knows he’s big cause he’s worked hard to get there and doesn’t give a rat’s ass what anybody thinks.
It’s the little big guys that walk around angry all over the place with rolled up sleeves and tight t-shirts squinting around and daring anybody to look his way even though that’s exactly what he wants.
Geez.
AMEN!! Here are my suggestions
Never roll up your sleeves. looks gay and pathetic. IF YOUR ARMS ARE big, they will look it with sleeves in the normal psotion.
Find shirts that fit.
Strive for mobility. Nothing looks goofier than a big stiff “please notice me, I need to feel like a bad ass”
Don’t get into fights to justify penis ownership. If you win, you should have, you are big, you lose, you are a tool that got schooled. That and you might miss traps and calves day. Either way, you may go to jail. they like big fellas there
NEVER wear any kind of training t shirts, clown pants, etc, to a club. Cries of insecurity.
Be humble. mild smile and nod.
If you are not a bouncer in the club you are in and a fight breaks out, don’t get involved. It is not a duty of yours to keep the peace. If you wanna feel the bad ass in a busy club, go take out the trash. Two at once even. Trashcans full of beer bottles carried for distance is good GPP.
Remember, don’t feel yourself up in a club. No rubbing your bi’s. Never say it was/is bi’s day in a group. They will think you are trying to find a boyfriend and girlfriend to go home with
Big lats dont look bigger with the goofy ILS arm position.
Get caught reading a novel.
If you are out to dinner, don’t be a pin in the ass. Choose better from the menu with minor changes or don’t go out.
Tip well.
Good answer to the “do you lift weight?” is “I try to as often as my schedule allows. It helps me unwind”[/quote]
I would back off a little about the sleeves being rolled up. My grandfather is 65, and has always wore his shirts like that. He is a strong old mofo for being 65. I always wear my shirts like that as well. I wear a large shirt, and most of my t-shirts get stretched out becuase I have a very apparent natural v-taper, so my shirts get stretched out and look like a V. I always wear my shirts with the sleeves rolled up. I get a lot of attention for doing so, but it is always positive attention. Telling a person that the way the choose to wear their clothing makes them look gay sounds kind of gay to me. If a person wears there clothing comfortably, then it should not be a problem. Women can wear low cut shirts and high skirts and it does not make them lesbian, so what if some fellas choose to wear there shirts with the sleeves rolled up.

It’s because it’s stupid.
You get callouses that make pretty much all official occasions (interviews/court appearances should they happen/meeting her dad/etc.) potentially awkward.
You don’t make your fists any harder.
If your knuckles bleed in a fight - who fucking cares? It happens. Better that than to have them permanently in a semi-healed condition.
It’s kinda gross if other people are using that punch-bag.
If you want to punch hard/through wooden boards/whatever, usually the key is wrist stability, and that can be developed by punching the bag with wraps on.

I don’t pick. I hit the heavybag for a half hour to build scar tissue as I do Tae Kwon Do (TKD). I don’t want to split open accidetally. My gym (remaining nameless) has never caught me. Look how tiny my hands are…yar!
Sleeve thing is true. Must roll sleeves. Too long. Me too wide. Grrr.

Dude. Usually I ignore these types of responses, but since i am new, i’ll make the exception. I dont (knowingly) insult people, particularly on bulletin boards as its so easy and therefore so gay.
I dont know how I insulted you as I didnt refer to anyone by name specifically in my original post, so chill. ( imean, who cares right)
Re. your hands. Thank you for showing me your bleeding knuckles. I have taken karate and kickboxing and this was neither recommended by the sensei nor done by anyone else. In fact, we all protected our hands with wraps or at least bag gloves.
What Ive noticed with scar tissue is that it is the result of trauma and therefore weakness. When the trauma ends the tissue fades. I assume that no one else in the gym, particularly management, is aware of your abusing their property while exposing yourself and others to infection and worse. yuck dude, get real.

Brad dude.
You are definately on your way to the same Hall of fame as Balbos and the Pheonix. Your logic is right on.
I for one believe that you are doing the right thing with the bleeding hands.
Do you head butt concrete walls to toughen up your forehead?..I kinda bet that you do.
I’m a bit confused by your weight and size.
You look like a funny guy in your photos but you say you have a 19 inch neck and 34 inch thighs.
You must be very tall or something cause I just can’t figure out your proportions.
Keep hittin that bag and headbutting those walls.
I also heard that doing knuckle push-ups on broken glass makes you really impervious to everything.
Can you break boards?
Keep us posted on how things are going.
Do you have any training secrets that you would like to share with us?
Holding my breath. All I can say is fucking wow.

Ok you win. Grandfather can roll up his sleeves any time he wants to and as high as he likes.
You on the other hand can roll them up as high as your forearm. Any higher and you are a dorkmeister.
Capisce
And your hands must be Giant Silva huge because when I hold my hands in front like that they dont “spill over” the edge of my thighs. So if your thighs are truly that big then you are truly a freak of nature.
Or a poser.
Congrats and apologies if its the former, cause as Im sure youd agree posing on a bulletin board is quintessential gayness.
but speaking of powerful images…
oy vay - check out the fridge on that!

or when the gf buys them and wants you to wear them. i dont mind doing what i can to make her happy and if she like the look on me thats great, but i really do feel like a “vain dickhead” when wearing them.
I also tend to tear the sleeves of these shirts when i get a really good pump from doing preacher curls… in the squat rack

You may be right. It’s the guys that do not have arms to begin with that make me chuckle at the roll up move. Moreso when they are checking themselves out. That’s funny.
The guys with pipes whose shirts ride up because the shirt has to, that’s practical. Nothing alone by itself is pathetic, but we all know the type, the wanne be bad ass whether they are or they aren’t, screaming for attention, these are the clowns.
Most people will make their own decision on whether or not a person is a bad ass or not and nothing a person wears or how they wear it will change that opinion. Bikers. Usually great guys. The ones that are in costume, LOL.
