Bodybuilding is for LOSERS

liamw

Weighlifting partially or fully for the purpose of 'getting big' is an absolute joke. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to those who perform a weight training program as part of a larger goal, particularly for improvement in sports).

If you are someone who works out just to get big, then I'm afraid you are an absolute loser. You are an absolute idiot, and I mean that in a big way. What exactly is your goal? Are you improving your skills or developing yourself in any way that can be productive for society? No.

It's pretty obvious that you are insecure with yourself, you are person of such low self esteem that you feel the need to 'get bigger muscles' in order to improve your self confidence. A major psychological weakness in my mind.

Deserves a ban too.

I totally agree with the OP. Bodybuilders and boy racers are pretty much in the same boat.

No. Banning you,which should happen any minute now, pretty much proves you're a close minded idiot.
Goodbye

Spoken by the words of a fat man.

Bye now!

I'm not fat. I've run several marathons and do about 40 miles a week of running.

weight training benefits:

improved muscle mass leads to an increased metabolism, leading to imroved fat burning capabilities.
a high percentage of bodyfat is linked to diseases such as diabetes, coronary heat disease, dementia, even artheritis.

weight training increases bone density, there by reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

weight training improves sleep and consequentally inproves concentration levels.

weight training also improves posture, and assists in redusing the risk of developing kyphosis and lordosis.

also weight training does significantly lower heart rate, thereby reducing risk of heart realted diseases such as hypertension.

weight training in older adult helps with increasing their ability to do everdays task, even standing up from a chair unassisted. this gives them a less dependant lifestyle and can help alleviate depression.

i would feel that if the OP was completely secure with himself, he wouldnt feel the need to start as thread dimising a training system he has no knowledge in.

First off - I am not a bodybuilder.

Bodybuilding is a legitimate sport - just because you don't see the point in it, you don't have the right to belittle those who partake in it.

Your comments re: psychology could be applied to any sport. Becoming good at anything boosts your self esteem - what you choose to be good at is at your own discretion and shouldn't be looked down upon.

I can't believe I am justifying this thread with a proper response.

No more.

good question, I'd be interested to hear his response.

liamw

I don't really play sports. I prefer computer games. I tried weightlifting once for a couple weeks but I didn't get big so I stopped. Someone told me I wasn't cycling correctly.

So you're a quitter?

Thanks for clearing that up.

Hornd

No it clearly doesnt.

As i am staying healthy and fit, your spending your free time in front of the TV while the rest of us are squating. In the long run your going to end up costing the tax payer money by when you get diabetes.

You dont even have the slightest clue as to what goes into bodybuilding. It is probably one of the toughest things you can do, to exercise control over absolutely everything you do for 16 weeks. Strict strict diet, no carbs, no drinking, no partying, 10 hours of sleep everyday.

Just try this and see if you have the will power for it because i expect not.

I have to disagree with you, what if people have low self esteem and use body building as a way to build themselves up, look at body builders that have done very well in life Arnold Scharzeneggar would be acse in point,
what if they happen to be no good at any sports, but enjoy BB and make good progress, each to their own, thats what I say before the lock

Liamw, you spotty little geek I can guarantee that you're the sorry "loser" who cries himself to bed after not getting a sniff of action in the club. If you started doing some lifting you might get some.

So you lifted with the aim of getting big muscles, to want that is a major psychological weakness, some loser said that once.

Typical response, from a typical weightlifter

Hi guys,

I go to the gym about 4 times a week and would consider myself to be as fit as anyone else. I play an awful lot of sport/running and am very active. I use the gym to improve my abilities - so I do kind of see where the op is coming from.

Namely (well not litterally), in my gym, there are about 10-15 of the super-huge guys. You know the sort - they have gone so ott on the 'energy' drinks that they no longer have any recogniseable definition in their physique - they just have this huge mass.

Now, I never had a problem with them - until very recently - when two of them started verbally abusing a few other guys in the gym. The 'f', 'c' words etc. were used at length. I was quite taken aback as were those were getting the verbals - for no apparent reason other than that they possibly werent the power-houses that these guys were.

My 'each to their own' attitude went straight out the window. Now I'm not going to say all these guys are like that. They're not. I'm sure a lot are harmless. But it did make me wonder what they were up to fitness-wise. Yes I'm sure they are strong - but I'm sure there are a lot stronger. Fighting-wise, I can't see any benefit. You don't see any boxers with that physique. Sports - again I can't see any benefit due to the huge immobility - even power-lifting would be a struggle I suspect.

Rather than brand them losers, I do feel a bit sorry for them. Especially when I see them go through the entire process of starting out as skinny guys and turning themselves into these things. Must be something driving them.

I once sat in the changing room listening to how much money they spend on the energy drinks - and also, how they eat 3-4 dinners a day.

I don't have the time or money.

If you are are one of these guys - I would actually like to hear what's the appeal?

ps. the guys im referring to arent body-builders. they're bigger again - does anyone know the type I mean?

my understanding that is unless you are genetically gifted , it will take months to get bigger, and indeed even years, you may also be a hardgainer

aye

my response on the first page should be sufficient for what you want to know.

No, trolling is for losers.

Body dysmorphia is a valid and very real problem among both male and female athletes and trainees and should you wish to carry out an adult discussion about this then fire ahead with a new thread carrying a mature title.

But this thread is done.
