+ 6 I've let myself down again....
This last Saturday I punch a guy in the face, knocking him out but breaking my index finger and knuckle. I was ignoring this drunk guys comments for about a half an hour till finally he called me the worst name you can call a black person. I'm fresh off a shoulder injury and have worked my ass off these this last year to finally get back to the size I was a year ago, I'm in mid cycle and now my Doctor is talking possible surgery on my hand with no lifting for 5 to 6 months. My point is this...discipline is need in more palaces than just the gym or with your diet. Its important that you let nothing and no one stand in your way of achieving your goals. I have traded my goal for a stupid split second moment of satisfaction. My goal is bigger than the word "Nigger"!.....I will not let this happen again.

CleyonHas anyone else noticed that all racists are assholes, but not all assholes are racist? In 8th grade they shut down a school about five miles from mine, and all of the sudden my school went from being 90/10 white/black to 25/75 white/black. It brought the racist out in people, and I'm not talking about just white racists. I've been called a cracker, honkey, and was rewarded on my birthday with a "birthday beating" by 10 black guys which got me ISS (in school suspension) for fighting.
Really after going through school the way I went through it, the fact that I didn't come out a wanna be thug, or klan member (as happened to a LOT of people from my area, including my brother) is a miracle.
I say=id all of that to put some perspective on what I say next. To let any word put you in a place where you're ready to fight is silly. I rarely got into fights as a kid if I could avoid it, and as I got older I developed the mindset of walk away, until you can't. These days if I get into a fight it's going to be because it's unavoidable, and the person forcing me into the fight is going to die.
Use this crappy situation to learn from. Luckily the guy didn't press charges (from what you said you made physical contact first), but you're paying a really steep price for your reaction. Don't let the assholes bait you in the future. Hope you heal quickly.
Thanks Cleyon, Im sorry to hear about your high school experience. Isn't it funny how tough cowards get when thier in a group? I've lived long enough to know assholes come in all colors and I hate ALL of them, with that siad good people come in all colors too. My best friend whom my kids call "Uncle Craig" is white and the godfather to my three girls. When my black friends and family ask why I'm so close to him I always give them the truthful answer "Cause he's been there for me when YOU haven't!".
GoldPowergood luck !
AnonJust a word bro, like all the others.
Nigger is an offensive slang aimed towards a specific stereotype. I've been called every racist name in the book and I've called people every name as well, mostly in fun. Words are words but I don't blame you for knocking the dude on his ass. Since his intention was to use the word in a spiteful manner it takes on a whole new meaning.
Personally I would have knocked the dude out 29 minutes earlier. As for the finger, it will heal. Following up on Fast, you can also knock people out with an open hand slap and even if you don't you've completely esmasculated them by slapping them like a little bitch.
Hope your hand heals up and I hope you don't need surgery.
Lol....at the "Knock Out Bitch-Slap". Thanks for the comment Badger!
Here's a clue for future.....I've broken hands a few times. KICK. Legs are stronger...tougher. Damn racists just need an eye closer now n then ;)
Lmao...your crazy Fast!
Just a few cans short of a 6pack. Lol
u did exactly what he wanted u to do, he was looking for it ,there fore in a way u let him win.
im a give u advice my old man gave me, because ima hot head as well. he said "dont think that everyone is on the same intelligence as u, there are alot of idiots, u gotta be patient because they dont know better." there will be alot of people who will piss u off in the future, and maybe alot who will call u the N word again. gotta be mental stronger my man, anger is always irrational. and i am most guilty of it too bro
Your right Beast, I'll be taking your advice...
There is no short supply of dumb asses in this world. I am sorry you broke your hand wish you would have cracked him with a bat instead, that is if you didn't get pinched afterwards. I hope for a speedy recovery for you my friend.
Thanks Pankration!!
I'm sorry to hear bro. Fuck the bar seen or where n e one is drinking always stupid shit going on there.
Your right Cheat, cheaper to drink at home anyways!!! Lol
I stay far away from bars and large parties when on cycle.. can't afford to land in jail on a short ester cycle.. I still ran into those situations twice this week but it's a lot easier to handle in small crowds with close friends
More good advice! Locked up with no PCT?!?! (Scary thought)
I think that often. Getting locked up and crashing off cycle would suck> Just what I want to do is sit in jail with a bunch of mofos and my estro skyrocketin.
Yeah you wanna talk about becoming someones bitch? Wait til you start growing tits, crying at girly movies.. Ahhh that'd be nooo good
its something we all deal with. it feels so good at the time, but later it stings bad. You are very lucky not to have been arrested. If I were you I would stay the hell out of that bar, for all you know the knucklehead has contacted the police but they just dont know your name, and possibly the bartenders are told by the police to call them if they ever see you again. Stay away from anywhere where that guy may be. Just because you werent arrested on the spot doesnt mean they cant do it later.
I had an incident that took three years before I got arrested. I thought it was all over but they were just waiting for me to come back to the same bar.
Thanks for the advice Swoll! Glad you said something about not going back, never thought about them waiting on me and I bet your right!
bro thats bullshit! i feel your pain with the broken finger, i broke literally my hand bone on my right hand from punching this guy when i was younger and it def broke completely i never got it fixed it just healed back twice as thick lol. i should went to the doctor and i still may have to get it re-broken. anyways, +1 bro sry you had to deal with some retard like that, I think we all would've done the same thing!
Thanks for the comment Mac!
AnonI cant really say you reacted all that poorly. I mean sure we are supposed to rise above such bullshit, but afterall we are only human right ? Sorry you ended up hurting your self, and I hope the idiot learned something. Sadly if he resorted to calling you that hes probably a very slow learner.
I feel lime I'm probably the only one who learned anything from the encounter... too bad it most me more than him.
Had a similar incident this weekend not as bad as your's but I did let someone else control me with words. And the thing is if I had handled it right I could have looked like a hero. I applaud your goals sir, and salute you. Oh ya +1
Thanks Gsleepy!
This is why I don't punch my wife when she follows me around the house running her mouth. I'll either end up in jail, and miss leg day, or break my hand, and miss a lot of upper body workouts.
Lmao, I needed the laugh!! Thanks bro!
I'm sure everyone can relate to that feeling of losing it. Sometimes it's better to flat out ignore them. They invade your personal space ,well then they bought that. But poppin off from words you can control. It's hard as hell but you can do it. You seem to have your head screwed on straight. Focus on what you have to do to repair the injury. Consider hgh if you need surgery. I know it will help speed things up. It could have been worse. Someone coulda called the cops and you'd be getting surgery from behind bars. Anyway you have plenty of support here! Good luck my man
Never even thought of the jail aspect!!! Thanks for the eye opener....I'm luckier than I thought.
You never thought about the jail aspect? Are you shitting me? You need to take some time and think about whether this is the right thin for you to be doing. This is something I would expect from some little punk kid who lives with his mother still, not a married adult man. No matter what anyone says to you you should be able to control yourself. I'm not sayin don't stand up for yourself and fight back if someone hits you first, but for gods sake all the guy did was call you an offensive word. You think no one been called fucked up shit before? If you can't keep your hands down then maybe you shouldn't be hanging around in places idwhere shit like this is more common, like bars. Not being able o control yourself and adding hormones into the equation isnt the best idea. And I'm sure your wife would be thrilled when you end up going to jail because someone insulted to her. Most women would prefer someone who defends them without violence. A woman who wants you to harm someone is sick. If you are a violent person like you make it appear you should look into a boxing gym or something similar where you get to hit something and maybe you won't feel like hitting someone for calling you a name. A year and a half ago right by me a 20 year old punched another kid who was arguing with him in the face. Kid ended up hitting his head on the ground and dying. But yea, you know hitting someone might not land you in jail.. Find some peace inside and don't let words affect you. And if you're putting yourself in situations (like bars) where this is prone to happen more, learn to walk away.
Your nothing but right on all your points Juice. Like the title says "I let myself down again". Scary how most of us never think that one punch could end a life...
I don't mean to come off as completely condescending. But the reality is when you're using gear you should act a bit more mature to an extent, partially for your own safety, but the other reason is in my opinion the media perpetuates such a one sided negative view on steroid use and we all play some part in this. If society is ever going to accept steroid use, let's not continue to give them bullshit ammunition like "Riis rage", a condition that does not exist in medical literature but it's use is very well known throughout the numerous media outlets. If we take away the one reason they continue to chastise steroid use, they will eventually be left with nothing. But to keep feeding into what they want us to show them, the public outcry will continue indefinitely
I dont find the truth in your comments condescending bro, quite the contrary!!
I spent a week a nervous wreck because I cracked one of my neighbors ...on 2 different occasions. Fuck that! I'm not going to jail because some drunk wants to run his mouth
You can still lift, ChecK this out, its called the isolator. It is great if you have a hand wrist or elbow injury.

Thanks a ton, this looms promising!!!!!
Let me know if you get it and if it works well. I've never used one, and hopefully I won't have to but I would get one if I injure a hand or wrist.
56tooBro I hear you man. Its an incredible virtue to be able to ignore fuck wads like that, but u know, in the long run it does make us better people.
Wish you were in my ear Saturday!?!?! Lol
bro arent you white? always be the bigger person man , if aint putting your loved ones in danger shit just aint that serious.
I'm half black and half white.
ya u just gotta walk away hard as it sounds. my girls black ive the word a few times , never directed towards her though, if it was and she started crying or something then i might loose it i just dk.
Can't even imagine what would happen if someone called my wife that word...I'm not sure if I could walk away from that.
I'm honestly sorry this happened... I've had my share of moments where I ALMOST lost it, but then I think of the consequences..
Especially on AAS, not only is it harder to keep control, but once you lose it then it can turn into hell..
I will be thinking next time!! Guess some of us have to learn the hard way...
