Getting Ripped |
|
|
So I've been going to the gym since last week to get toned a bit, and maybe not die of a heart attack at 45 and maybe balance out whatever bad effects opium has on my body.
And I just do a search on building bulk vs getting toned (I don't want to be big, I hate that look) and it seems body builders are huge sarcastic bitches:

This is why I've always hated going to the gym. I bet everyone at that gymp are like those people in the thread and going, "looking at that asshole, his arms aren't huge at all, what a pussy" and if they knew I'm listening to something like The Kinks while on a threadmill, they'd probably hate me even mor.e |

I don't know what to think of them gym.
Paying to go to the gym, driving to go to the gym, and the knowledge that you could be working out for free and much more safely at home. And no, I don't need a trainer.
While gym owners and members are very rarely busybodies; busybodies still suck.
But as a practical matter I think a person is less able to follow a workout routine at home assuming he is already willing to pay for a gym membership |

You should pretend that you're trying to get huge but then stop adding more weight/doing more reps/whatever and keep it steady. |

I don't understand why people are concerned with getting RIPPED AND SUPER MUSCULAR. Do you know how hard it is to get HUGE like that? You have to diet in a very specific way and work out for eons! |

So I guess what I'm saying is that you'll never look like Lou Ferrigno, Madali.
Just don't worry about it. |

Yeah, I was thinking that too when I read his post.
Girls are big on that one.
"Oh! I'm so worried! I have to make sure that I'm not going to get big, hulking muscles like those gross bodybuilder women!"
Like it will just happen accidentally if you throw in 10 extra pushups. "Shit, goddammit, I worked out too hard these last couple weeks, now I look like Arnold Schwarzennegger again. Oops." |

Madali, I go to the gym all the time, and I can give you real Ipro tips on getting your cheap middle eastern junk enriched. |

You need to go find the biggest buffest luger at the gym and ask if you can spot him in the middle of a workout. Also, Fancy Mike has this fantastic body wash! You can borrow some if you want to. |

I paid some asshole trainer, Clotho, to help me out. |

My 10 years of listening to classic hippy and prog rock makes me ill prepared for the kind of music needed while working out. |

Yeah, I've been working out really hard myself. I had to go to the gym 4 times a week and eat protein like a psycho just to gain 20 pounds of muscle in the past year. It's impossible to look like Arnold unless you take steroids, or wander a post apocalyptic wasteland battling goons for your entire life. |

It's not impossible if you have the right genetics, but yeah, that's one of the things you need. Genetics! |

I really like the idea that Clotho is incredibly buff and strong.
How long have you been working out, Clotho? Do you have a six pack? HOW MUCH CAN YOU BENCH? |

MADali, I listen to the gayest shit possible while working out and it makes me feel even stronger. I try to grunt and scream as loud as I can while listening to BIG STAR. |

I would work out to loud music, and this really isn't the place to be discussing that. Donna has just left me this lovely rose. |
