+ 5 Surely I can't be the Only one that gets Fucked Off sometimes??
OKay here we go - Sunday Rant night .......
I can't be the only one this keeps happening to, and it seems to be getting worse (No - not failing to get a Stiffy lol)
You know how it goes, you've just had a great training session, you're looking swole and lifted some great weights - You are riding that indescribable training high where everything feels amazing and your personal satisfaction levels are through the roof.
You sit down feeling awesome with a protein shake or meal and think lets just search a specific subject or instructional video on Youtube but swear to yourself you won't get caught up in the numerous suggested videos being pushed at you by Pro's you've watched before and other newcomers. BUT of course you don't because you see some eye catching Video Title where you think What The Absolute Fuck???
You click on the video only to then see a fuckin 21 year old kid warming up with weights bigger than your All time PR that you've spent over 10 years grinding and bleeding to hit, joking along with all his pals in the gym and clearly generating thousands of Dollars from all the views his channel is getting daily. By all accounts he just seems to spend his days lifting in the gym and making a fortune from it, whilst making your own PR's look like childs play.
Now I know its easy to view these video's as if everyone else seems to be able to train like this and walks around this size, when in fact they are actually Elite Genetic specimens that probably account for 0.01% of the male population in reality, But sometimes it just Really FUCKS ME OFF!!!! HAhaha

Im sick off seeing all these 16 year olds who call them selfs PTS , talking the biggest load off bullshit, who been lifting weighta foe a year, done a 2 wewk online pt course and now think they know it all, online dictating what to do and not to do in the gym
10/10 gym birds training with their weedy broccoli headed douche bag boyfriends
Something I heard Phil Heath say in a video once "id rather look like I can put up heavy ass weight"
Thats the camp I am in. I want to look good and feel good, I dont care who is doing what to the left or to the right of me. I will happily leave the gym with a badass pump using my lightweight while that fat ass benching 315 for 2 reps gets whatever hes getting out of that. Probably shoulder pain and a slight ego boost? To each their own broski. Its Me vs Me
100% agree, watch all these dumbasses at the Y ego lift. Full fucking swing to curl those 40lbs dumbbells, so freaking stupid! Just wish they would hurt themselves soon so they stop getting in my way.
Had three idiot broccoli heads the other day. Totally idiots who want be able to lift because their joints will be fucked when they’re older.
Haha! Its not the broccoli heads I have an issue with at the Y, its the high 60 + individuals that piss me off. Some stare to see what your doing and maybe incorporate something that someone else is doing into their routine, which is totally cool but stop laying in the damn walkway into the gym and doing your stretches. You dont own this shit, makes me want to stomp your old ass into the ground. I respect my elders but the shit is a two way street.
Noticed the same shit while shopping before christmas. It wasn't the dudes though, it was the old bitches. Fucking cunts taking up a while isle with zero disregard of people around them. Self centered cunts . Just because your old, does not give you the right of way.
Haha, I hear ya. There are some old dicks at my Y who just don’t give a fuck. You’ll be squatting and they start fucking with the rack you’re squatting in.
They very much behave like they own the Y, super rude and annoying.
Yes but how many fake powerlifting trophies do you have sitting on your mantle? IYKYK That’s the real indicator of being strong. lol
LMFAOOO!!! Powerlifting Trophies that never included the Deadlift part - figure that one out if you can ....
Bench has always been weak for me, I was working the chest and this little mother fucker that was tall and skinny goes to the bench next to me and throws 3 plates on each side and just starts pounding them out. I would have never in a million years guessed that small ass bitch could bench that.
It pisses me the fuck off! But then I meet people who work out and I ask what they are pushing then I feel a million times better lol when I get back to peak I’ll be stronger then most at a public gym but if I doom scroll I feel like the weakest person on the planet. For this reason I mainly listen to body building/ powerlifting podcasts or AAS info and try to stay away from watching others lift unless its educational and could help me improve.
Dkoon211Just remember, the chicks can't see your prs. They see your muscles. The number on the machine is mostly useless unless you compete. Like I arm wrestle. Hell even in body building competition it's all looks right? That being said get the fuck out there and lift heavy weights. They ain't gonna pick themselves up.
Come on, where is he? A forum isn't complete without an input from @irongame427
Pegging time is for when the kids have gone to bed pal!!
I don’t care about strength, like at all. I’m in this purely for size and aesthetics. But what does really piss me off is these guys that blow up and look insane after very little time in the gym. Dudes who manage to put on 50-60lbs of LBM in like 2 years. When that took me way longer and I was probably a lot more dedicated. Elite .01% genetics like you said. I’m in the below average camp for genetics for putting on muscle and strength. And not much better in terms of response to gear.
Yeah buddy - I should have worded the title a bit better. I was also meaning this too - that if your priority is more Visual and muscle size then its equally as bad when you see these fuckers who respond like crazy in very little time. I've noticed them too when I see them 6 months later and I think how the hell did he gain that much size so quickly compared to how he was. That Jimifuju or whatever the cunts called is a prime example of a guy who looked 'okay' then got HUGE overnight when he started to take it more seriously and did less acrobatics and fuckin about for video views.
I must've misinterpreted the title.....
Ok bye
Go stick ya straw in a cheeseburger .....
I've had a long 4 day weekend of eating everything in sight. I need help.
Also, just for fun I'll point out that your pr's are waaay more than most dudes. You might not know this, but lots of ppl actually do this thing called "lie" about how much they can lift. Not saying you are. But I remember some guy on YouTube with the last name castle or some shit getting busted using fake weights.
Most gyms in real life that aren't hardcore bodybuilding gyms are full of guys benching in the high 100's. I see LOTS of guys benching 185. I feel like a Greek god putting up 275 for reps.
So just go to shitty gyms like me where everyone is weak and you will feel better press. It's like women when they only have friends that are uglier than they are. Just hang out with losers.... Wait. You already do...
Yes they do!! I seen two broccoli heads making a tik tok in the gym and he was pretending to deadlift 700lbs making the video look like he did it.
Yeah I know who you mean buddy with the blonde hair, he claimed to bench 600 with the video of him doing it some years back. Mate us degenerates HAVE to stick together otherwise we will be wiped out as a species, Eroids civilisation depends on us.
I must admit though Milky I am curious to see how your timeline here plays out, in my 9 years here I've been on pretty much every single day so I've seen thousands come and go. Its Very rare that a member will come here for a solid year, even more so 2. If they make it that long then many simply disappear for 2 to 3 years then turn up out of the blue again wanting to get back on cycle. Most will hit the site non stop for 3 months though then burn out and disappear for a year. So my question is mate - which one are you gonna be??
Oh I'm a big time loser. I'll be here forever Buddy.
Winner Winner - Chicken Dinner!!!!
Bing bang boom..
There's always those with freak strength. At 122lbs I maxed 270 and worked up to flat pressing 100lb dumbells. Until I doubled my calories I was a machine but runt sized.
Not really. I move some good weight. What kinda weight you talkin? I gauge off the big 3 lifts.
I'm talkin 18 year olds and onwards benching 500 plus
Granted they are generally very big kids weighing 250lb's plus but still - at that Bloody age!!!
Ya thats some weight. Im a grandpa and l can move some good weight on bench. Not 5bills though.
How long are we supposed to really believe that someone like Tennyson is not on drugs? To me, he looks like he has the genetics of a small boy. Do you guys even know Nick Bare?? Runs for miles, Lifts heavy weights, eats in a massive caloric deficit. Weighs over 220 and somehow builds muscle mass the natural way?? And sells legal performance supplements by the pallet load. Get the fuck out of here.
These guys are marketing to impressionable kids who just got into the game. Making millions off the low hanging fruit. I should start a YouTube channel
Preach! Unreal money to be made by the grift.
Great wisdom here, bro. Social media is nothing but curated glimpses, not reality. Maybe a few of these guys are natty, but the odds are slim, and the true 0.01% usually isn’t packaged, polished, and algorithm-optimized. Real rarity doesn’t need thumbnails, discount codes, or a narrative.
These platforms sell possibility, not probability, “low hanging fruit” and impressionable kids don’t know the difference yet.
Great saying!!
Gotta remember that these kids are abusing PEDs and fucking themselves up because of it
Kid strength is loud.
Old-man strength lasts.
That 21-year-old didn’t earn those numbers, he borrowed them from the future. Fresh joints, fresh CNS, no life tax yet. He hasn’t paid. He will.
You didn’t get strong fast.
You got strong the right way, years under the bar, injuries managed, consistency when nobody cared.
Most of those kids won’t recognize their bodies in 10 years.
You still will.
You learned when to push and when to live to lift another day.
That’s a lesson most of them won’t learn until something tears.
Most of those kids will be gone in 10 years.
You’ll still recognize your body, and still be using it.
Let them flex for the algorithm.
You’ll be lifting when the noise dies and the cameras move on.
"Let them flex for the algorithm"
Damn, that hits deep. Too often it seems our world is curated for chasing the dragon. Cheers to lifting when the noise dies.
I love the live to lift another day! That’s good stuff I’m 42 and I must still have to much stupid youngster in me picked up the drive front tire side of my pickup and dislocated my shoulder couple days later the bicep tendon must have been damaged cause it tore during a lift and now I’m looking at surgery that’s taking way to long to happen i felt it in my shoulder before I lifted the pickup and I did it anyway I’m no longer living to lift another day sulking to hurry up and get back in the gym
Feeling something before a lift and doing it anyway is the most relatable shit there is. We all know better… and still send it. Now you’re stuck waiting on surgery and just wanting to get back in the gym, which might be the worst part of all of it.
Hope they get you sorted sooner than later, brother. Heal up right, come back stronger.
I am guessing the Long head of the bicep tendon that inserts under the shoulder cap mate?
Mine really started to get sore and became almost like it was about to snap when benching heavy, then by the grace of God I got this Flu shit about 2.5 weeks ago now that literally forced me to stop lifting. When I went back to it after 2 weeks it was totally healed and fine again. Its a real fucker that area for snapping because it gets stressed under many exercises like benching, barbell rowing, chins etc. Out of interest how long are they saying you need to rest it after surgery - 6 months or more?
God saved you. I bet that send it feeling would have happened and we might be having a different conversation if you didn’t get the flu. Sorry you got sick but happy too
SHIT Mate - that was Deep!!!!
Valid points though
I’ve got shit genetics and have been at it for years with suboptimal results. So yeah, I get this feeling almost daily lol.
They key to all things muscle and strength wise is to start off with a great natural build. If you can start off at 200lb's with no lifting experience then you are sorted. It literally dictates the results you will end up with further down the road when using steroids.
If I got down to 5% bf I would maybe be 150lb lol
Thats okay man, at 150lb then you build back up. My buddy was around there and we did some tren and primo cycles along with hitting the gym hard and he turned into a jacked unit.
Word thanks man!
