    My frustration is that I want to know what % of people above 21 are into weightlifting.

    If everyone else is doing it i might quit.

    what i hate is that if you stop, your progress dwindles rapidly. weight drops, strength drops. I dont want to be a slave to having to work out constantly to maintain my damn weight. Ive lost 15 pounds over the summer, and much strength, but it sure is nice not thinking about my damn muscles all the time.

    When I stop, my weight doesn't drop rapidly. In fact, I have a metabolism that enforces me not dropping weight rapidly even if I tried. With this "blessing" comes the fact that it takes me a huge amount of effort to cut. As God is not without a sense of irony, the only thing I wanted was to be around the weight I am, but cut. I imagine if I kept bulking I could get somewhat large, but I have no desire to be over 200lbs.

    Downunder, that happened to me but in arm wrestling.

    I arm wrestled my non-workout friend 1 hour after I worked biceps, and back. We were dead even for like 6 seconds and then i couldnt hold out anymore.

    His girlfriend was all proud of him because they know I work out.

    So I arm wrestled him again a week after and totally killed him. No issues. But he didnt tell his girlfriend that.

    I'm getting "borderline big" as my friends say it , yet I haven't gained a lot of weight since I started bulking? bodyfat is about the same, abs = there. everything's just "Bigger"... maybe my scale is broken?!?

    ehhh, only thing I hate bout bb'ing is those guys who are bigger than you who have no idea what they're doing... they work out everyday minus legs, and their genetics are godly

    I hate the fact that you never really know for sure if something is working or not. There are so many variables with training, deiting, supplements etc. that you never know. I need to get 2 identical twins. I also need like 10 years of free time and a few million dollars for food, equiptment and supplements to run tests. Maybe then I will have some kind of idea of what's going on

    It pisses me off that there are thousands of 'experts' out there, all saying different things. You can never know who to trust

    Being f*cking sick and not being able to work out. Today I got so frusturated that I went to the gym, but got all dizzy and light-headed when I tried to lift a small-ass amount of weight.

    When I get better, I am going to attack the weights with a vengence!

    I love everything about body building. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to keep it up.
    Best way to cheat on deadlifts...

    Stand there for a few minutes, then pace back and forth a lot, huff and puff, wait until everybody's looking. Approach the bar. Back off. Approach it again. Back off. Get some water. Chalk up. Approach the bar again. Then spray some more chalk around. Wait until people start losing interest. When nobody's looking, pick it a little off the floor, and slam it down. Jump up and yell "LIGHT WEIGHT BABY". Then give high fives all around. - Belial

    Lessee...Hate the music they play in the gym at night. Hate people who do 5 million sets while I'm waiting to do 2. People who use the squat racks for everything other than squats. People who do quarter squats thinking they are doing real squats. People who don't rack their weights.

    Things I find amusing:

    People who get spotted on every rep.
    Ladies who come into the gym thinking that doing all abs stuff will shrink their gut or tone it.
    Guys who come into the gym thinking just lifitng heavy will make them big.
    Curl Jockeys.
    Bench Jockeys
    Anyone using the word "tone"
    Squat Jockeys...oh wait...they don't exist at my gym.

    Things I hate about me:
    Getting fat easily.
    Weak ass back.
    *new* Weak Biceps
    I can bench almost more than I can squat (fixing that this month).

    I hate the fact that it took me 2 years (or the majority of the time I've been lifting) to figure out that all the sh*t I was killing myself over... the super-strict diet, not missing a single workout, all the things that forced me to sacrifice other parts of my lifestyle... didn't really do a damn thing. That extra 5% difference is no difference... not in the near future, not at my (comparatively low) level. I'm much happier now than I was then.

    I love to bulk, but it seems like everything I eat turns to sh!t.
