+ 1 Best compliment I had in a while
I had written a post about the new guy at my gym a few mos ago... I will retell quickly tho. I am not the biggest, but was the strongest at my home gym until this guy showed up. He had 20lbs of weight on me, and could was benching like 50lbs more for 10 reps than I could, never seen him max. Anyway, my dad was there in the morning as he should be, and this guy asked my dad where I been? dad told him how i've been I outta town and all.
So this guy says, man everclese is really puttin it on. He says I know he is cathin up to me fast! He said it seems like the harder he worked the bigger and stronger I got! He said I motivate him to push harder and he missed me being there. (no homo) Not only did this make me feel good, but it made me feel like pushin harder... This in turn makes me think I need to throw out compliments more often in the gym even to the heavy guy/girl when I tell them I notice they're gettin thinner/bigger/stronger whatever the case may be? this will help motivate them... We all need as much positive reiforcement as we can get, and no matter who you are a compliment is always nice!

CleyonAwesome stuff, sure to make you feel good! Now get after it, no slacking!
I am 100% on that page brutha. straight killed chest today, I mean killed my f'n chest. felt great. No matter what I will catch his ass he's in his 40's I got younger muscles and metabolism on my side. Plus I got this f'n drive in me that will not say quit until I just cant. Today I was waitin for him to walk in,(never did) but just thinkin about it I think I was able to push my self 1 more rep. stay cool cley
Sane competition is the best, it will keep you motivated. I remember those days at the soccer team where i used to play, we always had internal competition to prove to our couch who was in the best shape physically and mentally to play the next game. Thumbs up and keep it up bruh!
Thanks RR, I'm on it like nothin before. When I get a goal set I get it brutha.
Did u get his phone number?
funny, but he wasnt at the gym today. I do plan on asking him if he has a workout partner, he runs a circuit workout. I train 1 body part each day, so we train differently, but I think I could benefit from running his circuit for a week, my 1 body part the next week. I do plan on talking more serious stuff at this point, before it was always small talk, jokin, or talkin about women. but I want to talk diet. Also we go to a 24hr place where there are actually several with in 20 miles of us and I think it would be cool to go to a different one maybe once a week change of scenery different equip at some. I never had a partner b4 cause I am an early bird like 6-6:30am, when the gym isnt full of jack asses and he's probably the 1st person I could see myself having as a partner cause he's actually dedicated not just a summer time juicer then no workout
I loled haha.
That's good man just start a competition with him. The best compliment I ever got was that my dick looked huge in my shorts by some guy in a mirror that looked like me
The best nonviolent competition is pushing/being pushed by others in the gym. High five! Glad you're boosting yourself and others as well!
StevebHow much do you bench?
working out w/ on 5th set 275lb this week for 4-6 reps on nolva right now:( but I cant be on all the time right? it kinda varies tho... I rarely max, but have pushed 375lb before on cycle, at end of workout. That's why I said at my gym it's a 24hr place, not many bodybuilders there
I am not strong compared to alot of you guys but I try and I am gettin stronger!! How about you?
Those r good numbers bro, keep it up!
