Birds Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Bodybuilder and powerlifter, hah, forgot that these were the dichotomous goals of everyone who goes to the gym.

NickR33 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 all I'm saying is the weight is just a number... why obsess over the number if your not competing... the number becomes meaningless if your just in the gym to keep fit/strong... Birds has even stated he's not looking to gain size just maintain his physique 'sub-par weights' what the fark does that mean!? he's lifting well over his body weight off his chest for reps... which is a shit load more than the average bloke in the street could manage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/102/#findComment-6121365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTrun Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Birds has even stated he's not looking to gain size just maintain his physique Fair enough then. 'sub-par weights' what the fark does that mean!? he's lifting well over his body weight off his chest for reps... which is a shit load more than the average bloke in the street could manage How much does Birds weigh? I thought I read 90-96kg somewhere? Anyway a bodyweight bench press might be impressive if you weigh 140kg+, but for an average joe it's pretty...average Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/102/#findComment-6121404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHOSTrun Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Now, how much can you push out?

Dani Boi Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Most people lifting sub-par weights hide behind the "I'm bodybuilding and strength isn't my goal blah blah" spiel, but they never get on stage so they aren't bodybuilders, they're just "weight lifters". So if you don't look like a bodybuilder, and you can't lift respectable poundages for the amount of time you've spent training, then I ask what the hell have you been doing in the weights room all that time? (provided you don't have an injury/doing rehab etc) Bodybuilding is a form of body modification involving intensive muscle hypertrophy. An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder This is what you do in the gym when you 'weight lift".

R-SPEC Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I like how people concern themselves with what others can/can't lift... 2 of my mates, 1 is shredded to the crap house and he's never benched above 70kg. the other is on the chubby side and benches 90kg with ease. Both weigh 80-90kg. Does that mean chubbs is more of a "bodybuilder" ? No.... Point being, numbers mean nothing.

An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder This is what you do in the gym when you 'weight lift". Bodybuilder?, Weightlifter?, Powerlifter? None of the above, hammer thrower (track and field athlete). See why classifying everyone who lifts weights as a 'bodybuilder' is not only retarded but disrespectful to those who actually are bodybuilders? Do you know how much discipline is involved in being a top level bodybuilder?

That's funny because how much bodyfat you carry is determined by how much shit food you eat, and how strong you are is determined by how effectively you train.

Bodyfat is determined by excess calories, you can eat 4000 calories of clean healthy food and still get fat...

dezz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Got a 'mate' that benched 125x6 yesterday at something like 85/90kg... He's 20, on his 3rd or 4th cycle and still looks pretty average. Got another mate who had one of the best bodies I've ever seen (~100kg and ~5% bf) benched f**k all and had an enormous/perfectly shaped chest. There's these things called genetics... They're the reason why people say I'm on steroids solely based on how my arms look. They're also the reason I'll never have a decent chest no matter how hard/well I train Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/102/#findComment-6121537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing about "steroids" is people think they lift the weights for you, prepare your 6-8 meals a day for you (and eat them for you too), make sure you get 8-10 hours sleep eveny night for you, hell they probably think they inject themselves for you and monitor their own blood tests for you too...

dezz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Before you make yourself look more foolish than you already have, I squat/dead more than double bodyweight for 5-6 reps. Guess that's not training hard though.
