there was some huge fat ass that tried giving me advice on lifting, diet and how to start gaining mass. ya ****ing right. the only mass he has ever gained is around his waist line. does any one else ever have this problem
i hope not cause it pisses me off. it has happend to me twice now and i get so pissed.
I wouldnt negate him in the least. Might be 54 look overweight and out of shape but if dude can swing an ax for 15 hours at a time he has fitness for sure.Lmao long story short, i had to help my gf's dad's friend (54, overweight, out of shape) unload a truck of
chopped wood.
10 minutes in as he's downing a long neck bud light he starts
telling me about how money is all about your health. If you dont
have good health you wont make good money and how
kids my age need to exercise and be active more instead of play video games.
I just laugh and think to my self how easily i could kick this old mans ass,
as he continues to say i couldnt last a half hour chopping wood
even though he goes out and chops wood 15 hours at a time.
Gotta love big headed old men :thumbsup:
Couldn't agree more dude.Knowledge isn't always applied but it doesn't make it any less effective in practice. Basically, I just listen to what people have to say as long as it doesn't interfere with my workout. I'll have a discussion with anyone about lifting related fitness. I had a skinny guy give me pointers on olympic lifting to work on form. I could lift more than him easily with bad form but once I changed my form up my lifts increased.
A guy with 10 years experience and and education in dietary nutrition has the same information whether he's 300 pounds or 100. the issue is when people look solely at a person's physique and automatically assume that they had a clue on how they got to that point (great genetics, pushed as a child from parents, steroids, etc) and can adjust that information to apply to your specific ability and goal.
This reminds me of a seminar I went to. The dietician who spoke there was over weight. A few trainers whispered before she began.."how are we gonna take advice from her, she's fat". I can't say I didn't notice her weight but I tried not to judge her thinking, their must be a reason. Well she opened up right away with saying, I know a few of you have probably already said to yourself, how are you gonna listen to a fat lady give nutrition advice? A few laughed and she went on to say that she's the only women in her family that is under 300lbs. Her whole family is morbidly obese. She was around 200lbs herself. She said for her it was a great achievement and she has such a strict diet just to maintain that weight. She is one of the top booked dieticians in the city.A guy with 10 years experience and and education in dietary nutrition has the same information whether he's 300 pounds or 100. the issue is when people look solely at a person's physique and automatically assume that they had a clue on how they got to that point (great genetics, pushed as a child from parents, steroids, etc) and can adjust that information to apply to your specific ability and goal.
Does anybody else notice the subtle similarities in this post? Not hijaking, but I have heard that SUMthing before.:01:Hey, what i have found is it takes "All Kinds", I have come acrossed sum really bull headed people in the gym, think they know it all, and if you don't do it their way your wrong, and i have also bumped into the fat freakin stinky guy, that does all his lifts with bad form and way too much weight that will tell your doing it wrong and smells up your space, and the only thing i can say is"grains of salt" man. Theses people all have sumthing to offer you in one way or another, wether it be the smallest bit of extra info you didn't have before, or if sum fat ass comes over and starts bugging the **** outta ya, get pissed and use it in your werkout. What im trying to point out is that, its all in how you look at the situation.
SUMthin is my word, and don't know what ur trying to ghet at?Does anybody else notice the subtle similarities in this post? Not hijaking, but I have heard that SUMthing before.:01:
No problem. Long story. Ok, back to the orig. discussion.SUMthin is my word, and don't know what ur trying to ghet at?
Thats a great example as to why weight is misleading ok he is fat so like in this story his whole family is 300+ pounds he is 200. I mean you dont know what they've been through to be that weight, if you truely know the person like you have known them your whole life and they give you advice when you darn well know they dont know what there doing then fine say i dont need your advice. But if you just met them give them a chance, Just listen what to they have to say if you dont agree nod your head and continue lifting thank him for the advice and take it with a grain of salt. Look back on it later realize it was bad advice ok, no harm done but if he has got something good to say listen.This reminds me of a seminar I went to. The dietician who spoke there was over weight.
