Annnnnnd...going back to the above post cos I kinda still feel like I'm missing something..the drifter wrote: »I'm very confused as to whats happening in this log...
you seem to have taken up 15 new sports and have a pain in your tummy...
I messed around in a gym for years, did lots of classes, started strength training, had some fun, competed in Powerlifting, tried out hockey and now I've finally commited to Weightlifting and I kind of feel like I'm getting stick of you and everyone else liking the above post?
Have I picked that up entirely wrong?

Yeah, that. Very confusing. Also weird how people just randomly thank posts without offering constructive input! 0 -

I remember her saying a while back also that, though she's tried and been decent at a few things, she hasn't yet found something she was passionate about or felt she was great at.
I think most of us have.
I know i've played rugby, GAA, tried powerlifting, messed about with some strongman stuff, pretended to be a weightlifter, spent a week doing crossfit:pac: etc.
Hanley's done pretty much everything
Dearest Drifter was being slightly hypocritical considering he's competed in PL, been a cardio bunny, attempted weightlifting, ran a marathon, become a ninja, done lots of cycling stuff and has now been inducted into the hell's angels.
Most peoples training history will read like a mixed bag, it's healthy imo, and most importantly it's fun.
If she's having fun the what's the harm.
That said, become a weightlifter or i'll murder you. 0 -

I've done basically nothing else. I played basketball in second year. :pac: I think in a few years, when I'm less weak and shit, I might give WL a little go but I don't see myself ever being decent at it. I'll mostly stick to being a shit powerlifter!0 -

This.
And most of the stick seems to come from people who barely train or compete in anything. I find it very ironic. Not specifically aimed at that Nervous guy.0 -
What???

Really just wanted to know what the post and the affirmations were about..
thought ye were going to offer me some wonderful insight into my training:pac::pac:Nervous Wreck wrote:I just thought it was funny!

Technically, I've always been involved in multiple activities all at the one time and if anything I'm actually getting better at trying to prioritise things. As regards the rugby, the team actually finished at Christmas time and with the hockey that was a case of bad timing..were I had managed to get myself into a tizzy about training and got really run down and that just had to go.
TBH, I think I'm always gonna mess around with sports. Never played any when I was younger so I feel now is catch up time.

Fair play! I've never done anything before PL and I can barely manage to keep up with that alone at times. No idea how you've the energy to do multiples!This.

Tbh, I've no idea what you're talking about? I wasn't trying to give stick at all. At the best of times, I put my foot in my mouth but I'd never give anyone stick for training! Aside from it being a stupid thing to do, I don't really know enough to be slagging anyone :pac: I do, however, apologise if it came across like that at all, gymfreak!Not specifically aimed at that Nervous guy.
Best friends again?
:pac: 0 -
Haha, love this log, always something going on. You just have too much energy gymfreak, I only say that out of jealousy. I have my own selfish reasons to want to see someone like yourself get into WL
:p.
I did a good few activities starting in my teens to twenties to now, and I just discovered WL last year. Which is probably a good indication that at least we'll both remain active the older we get when its going to be even more important.0 -
Yeah, that. Very confusing. Also weird how people just randomly thank posts without offering constructive input!
I thank posts for various reasons...
I agree with what the person posted,
it was funny and or made me laugh
or it's my way in fitness anyway of saying yeah well done/good session etc etc.
Are we all supposed to go around demanding "constructive input" for every time anyone has thanked a post in one of our logs?
Anyway this isnt the place to discuss this is here in gymfreaks log...
So gymfreak, I wish you well with your weighlifting endeavours!0 -

Hmmm… so my log isn’t the place to discuss my training????
No, I meant your log isnt a place to clog up discussions about why I/other posters thank posts.If you actually have a quick flick through my log you'll see that it has been up and running a good 21months..with plenty of training sessions logged(some good days, some bad), plenty of banter, mountains of excellent advice and lots of critisim as well.
I don't need to flick back through your log I have been following it from the beginning and (had) trained along side you out in IP enough to know that.I do believe that this is the first time that I asked people on my log to clarify their meaning. As I wanted to ensure I wasnt missing something. I don't see what's incorrect with wanting to clarify something that people already offered advice/critism or affirmations to.
I think it was Hanley that specifically asked this time but before that if you may have thats your perogative. Theres nothing incorrect about it, I just think you read too much into people thanking your posts. I post on alot of different fora outside here and I thank posts alot without thinking because it's generally for the reasons I outlined above.Maybe you could explain what your thanks was in the context of?
NW pretty much nailed it in his post earlier about all the different sports.Not quite sure why you are so offended?
Who says I am offended?
As for constructive input, yes, I think it’s the least someone should expect if one constantly likes posts that are critical of ones training in their log.
Again, thats your perogative to want that, but i will stop ya here, you can't be referring to me, because if you are, I will kindly ask YOU to go back through your 21 months of training posts to see that I have thanked plenty of your posts, and they are most definitely not all the "constantly the critical posts"0 -
I actually feel that my log is the perfect place for such discussions. I log purely for my own benefit as a means of tracking what I'm doing and as a means for others to see what I'm doing and to offer advice and critism as they see fit. Everything is life is about learning..I'm very open with my training and I post it here so that people can help me identify what needs tweaking...this has really worked to my benefit..got quite exhausted after Christmas and I wasnt even noticing myself until others noted it here.banshee_bones wrote: »No, I meant your log isnt a place to clog up discussions about why I/other posters thank posts.
When someone posts in a log or affirms a post they are offering an opinion on my training, and that is exactly what I was asking...what the opinion was.
I really don't mean to be pedantic, but anyone who knows me knows I like to clarify details...same way how I can never leave a session without finishing absolutely everything..I'm all about the details...too my own demise most of the time:DI don't need to flick back through your log I have been following it from the beginning and (had) trained along side you out in IP enough to know that.
So just to clarify the 'trained along side you' point. I think I may have seen you in IP two possibly three times?? And possibly pushed the prowler with yourself and G once...?
I had asked 'was I missing something' in the previous post to Hanley's cos I wasnt too sure what drifter was asking. I dont think that its reading too much in to anything. I literally wasnt sure what the post or affirmations meant..so I asked..in my own log. I dont think its a big deal to ask someone that contributes to a log..exactly what the contribution was when your unsure.I think it was Hanley that specifically asked this time but before that if you may have thats your perogative. Theres nothing incorrect about it, I just think you read too much into people thanking your posts. I post on alot of different fora outside here and I thank posts alot without thinking because it's generally for the reasons I outlined above.NW pretty much nailed it in his post earlier about all the different sports.
Thanks:) That's all I was asking.
My mistake!Who says I am offended?
To be bluntly honest, yes I suppose you are one of the posters that I feel I can direct that comment to. I'm not looking for any kind of argument, nor am I calling you out. It's just to be perfectly honest I'm a really positive, optimistic person and if you actually look back through my log you'll notice that the negativity by other posters often outways any positivity. A Lot of the critism is well deserved and well appreciated. I can't recall any posts by you in the last year that offer advice or encouragement..I'm not looking for praise from anyone..and anyone that knows me knows I'm no glory hunter in the slightest..I just enjoy doing what I do. But I have certainly noticed a trend of affirmations towards posts that have been quite negative..perfectly acceptable and probably well deserved. But I just dont see the big deal in me asking what was meant by a post or if anything was meant. Obviously by posted in a log you want to get an opinion across to me and I just wanted to make sure I was hearing correctly...I'm all about the clarifications.Again, thats your perogative to want that, but i will stop ya here, you can't be referring to me, because if you are, I will kindly ask YOU to go back through your 21 months of training posts to see that I have thanked plenty of your posts, and they are most definitely not all the "constantly the critical posts"0 -
