bodybuilder? powerlifter? fitness enthusiast? athlete?

[mikeswift]

New Poll for you guys... what do you consider yourself and what would you like to be? and for any of you fags that can't make up their mind I made it Multiple Choice so you can select more than one.

 

[saudades]

Lol! Gotta love those hand grippers!

 

[Stickler*]

i love the handgrippers! .. LOL

good question. I suppose it depends on how my pics look at the time ... hahah... you asked it in a tough manner.. you said.. what are you, AND what do you want to be.. someone could pick them all.... if you want to look good though, you need handgrippers... especially you're traps!

I am a bodybuilder trapped in the body of a fat, gelatinous, and very obnoxious powerlifter. But on the upside, I am pretty strong compared to some you tanned up, panty wearing, light in the loafer, bohunks.:moon: But in all seriousness, I am first and foremost and iron addict. This is the curse that binds us all. Can I get an Amen!?!?

 

[Stickler*]

AMEN! ... bottom line is .. whether it's fitness, strength, looks, or overall health... it's a labor of love.. and it takes dedication to be any of these things... we can all learn from each other regardless of where we ARE, this place helps us get to where we WANT TO BE!

i damn sure aint no athlete (im clumsy as hell). I aint no powerlifter because either you're genetically strong, or youre not.
I aint no strongman, my joints are a weak link. And as for a fitness enthusiast - well, I love to smoke and drink and party my ass off, but keep it in moderation only for my love of bodybuilding.

Amen!

 

[Matt76]

i'd like to believe i'm all of the above

hold a WR in PL
still want to look good and be symmetric
plan on getting back into strongman soon
it's no fun being fit if you can't run around and play sports
and I used to be able to shut the #3 gripper with no problems. I don't do them that much anymore but can still close the Super Master (between #2-3) anytime I want

 

[mikeswift]

ahhhh if Malic was only here to read that... he'd have a boner for Matt76

 

[teedubgee]

I'm gonna have to say somewhere between fitness enthusiast and bodybuilder. Mainly because I don't know if I'll ever compete. I still strive for a bodybuilder's physique, but I don't believe I have the shape or symmetry to win any comps. Things change though, who knows what I'll be thinking in a few years and out of the military.

 

[mcgaret]

I'd say bodybuilder but like to keep functional. I like to look good at my age cus the
old broads are easy to impress!! (that includes Irishpride)

 

[BiggerStronger]

fitness enthusiast. I have crappy genetics and certain parts of my body would never hold a candle to the overall physique demanded today. I have always lifted like a powerlifter with good results and don't plan to change anytime soon.

 

[irishpride]

i am an athelete but when i am not training for those events i train like a bodybuilder..

 

[optimalbalance]

We, here, lift to get stronger and a little more endurance.

 

[Local124bro]

As long as girls keep coming up and grabbing my chest and people give me looks I dont care what I am! The only problem Ive ran into after they see the chest they want to see the abs... Whats an ab? LOL!

 

[BiggerStronger]

lol...Yep, and I do it for the attention. haha. Not really, but when I was younger I used to eat it up.

 

[optimalbalance]

I'm 5-9 around 210 with a 32 inch waist, fat to most of you. I don't know what abs are myself but this old mid thirty guy has a couple 18-20'ish lined up for next weekend. Seriously I love most of you to death but don't see how you guys can pack on more muscles while cutting all year
. peace

 

[optimalbalance]

btw the nurse who goes to draw blood also loves me

 

[optimalbalance]

thanks homebrew

 

[BiggerStronger]

I'm also 5'9 and I cut from 230ish down to 195 or so. I feel so much better and I can actually start to see the outline of my ab region again. I need to gain some more muscle mass and I'll be happy. Cutting without supps really does a number on your muscle mass. I still look good, but I wouldn't mind being a little heavier muscle wise.
