Come join the club.
I've been lifting on and off since I was in me teens.

Anyone who wants to get into bodybuilding, these are the 3 basics.

Eat, lift, sleep.

And food and the correct diet is actually 70% of building the correct physique.
However much you lift if you don't eat right you will go nowhere.

    "Lifting" sandwiched between two fundamental basics of living.

    If it weren't for these hearsay, one liners of sage-like wisdom we'd be lost in life...

    Been body building for years.
    Stomach has plenty of bulk.
    Now just got to get the rest of the body to catch up.

      Yes, body built for a few years, but after reaching the limit on the first gym l joined, and after the second one closing, l tended to go in the other direction.

      Or got sick of getting up early, etc.

      So, l decided to do Pilates and a form of at home body building.

      So l still look great, and am able to maintain, a sixpack, eventhough l need to lose some weight, in order to see it, as you can on online images.



      But bodybuilding will set you up, for other options!

        I'm not sleeping. My eyelids are just fat.

        My workout is;

        Eat, eat, drink, choke...eat some more...blame other people for my weight...eat...make up another excuse for why I'm fat...eat.....buy groceries...eat them before I get home...go back to the grocery store...eat...watch TV (The Food Network)....sleep (while I'm eating).....

        My motto is "I eat more before breakfast than most people eat all day".



        Added for no reason; This is real. Today, we are going to drive 35 miles each way, to buy a artist's paint brush. My wife is an artist. The paint brush will cost about $3. The gas will cost about $10. It will take perhaps 3 hours of two lives to buy this one brush. This is my life.

        I wouldn't trade it for the world.

          Hmmm, you forgot to mention, sleepwalking and eating what you wanted to eat, but couldn't!

          Then wake up and blame the damn cat, especially when it isn't talking to you again!

          What, buy it on Ebay and get a poor slob to deliver it to you?

          Think of the quality time spent together, the panoramic coastal views on the way. ..

          The breakdown, repair and towing fees for your old Ford pickup costing more than the truck. The car rental costs. The fact that when you get to the store you end up coming away with way more than the paintbrush... a palate, 3 assorted sized easels, 14 assorted canvases etc..

          True moments to cherish and I'm sure Christina Brinkley enjoyed it too.

          The trick is to stop and get Burger King on the way to go grocery shopping. That way you don't have to snack as much on the ride home.

        Claudsters nailed it. When you come into the OT bar walking carpet, be ready to hear the odd joke, and be very prepared to have your conversations hijacked, besides it's more fun then lots of people all coming together to talk about how much they can lift.

    I used to lift a ton of weights during my first few years of college.

    I could squat like 500 lbs on the squat machine / sleds. (Not a "raw" squat. Only on the machines. Was this really 500 lbs? Who knows. But I was ridiculously strong. Those are the only impressive numbers I could ever produce).

    (I used to pick my buddies up over my head when I went out drinking. Yep. Somewhat of a beast/barbarian I am, according to some reports).

    I remember I told one of my buddies "If I was going to fight I'd just do this". Dude got air lifted immediately thereafter lol.

    These days I'm so odiously lazy, that I don't lift anything.

    Well, as my friend at Microsoft once said, "I lift benjamins".

    :]

    PS: My juvenile lifting buddies and I would always joke about eating unfathomable quantities of "CBH".

    Do any of you know what we're referencing? (This is a test).

      Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

        CBH, the cornerstone of any barbarian diet.

          Actually, it's interesting that you bring it up. I was actually discussing the physics involved in how a certain vacuum salesman is able to get his moon-like head so far up his own backside. The only possibility involved CBH and plenty of vaseline.

            No need to flirt. You had me at "Moon Like Head".

      4 times would be too much unless your on Roids or HGH.
      Your probably overtraining and not resting enough. Mostly likely your losing muscle than puttin on.
