Thread: I can't lift because...

I can't lift because...
Because I don't have the time.
Because I'm too tired.
Because I'm not one of "those people".
Because I have asthma.
Because my shoulders are messed up.
Because I can't afford it.
Because my knees are bad.
Because I'm too lazy.
What's your excuse?I am Ripper. Tearer. Slasher. Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness. The Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength. And Lust. And Power!

My favorite is not an excuse, but my response; 'Good, now get the #$%#$ out of my way, I need to get to the squat rack.'

I like weights. You know where you stand with them. Well, sometimes you're lying under them, trying not to let them crush you, but you see, you KNOW they'd crush you if they could. There's honesty.

Because I missed my workout window reading this thread..

I have a valid excuse!
Wrestling Practice + Running 2+ Miles everyday.
1st Day of Wrestling Practice = I can't even support my own weight in a chair. (like, if I pushed up with my arms I couldn't hold myself up). I spar with a freaking 300lb guy and then do 100 push-ups and 100 crunches.
The coach is awesome though...Taught Varsity for 5 years, won 2 Vars Championships and taught Middle School Wrestling for 1 Year (this is his 2nd) and won the championship there. His Varsity team went on a 32 match winning streak, with only 26 losses in his whole career as Vars. Coach. I think.

Usually my excuse is that I feel too ****ty and would be unable to have any kind of intensity.

Other people's excuse: I'm not sure what I'm doing and don't want to look stupid.
--or--
Everyone else lifts so much more than me.There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

Totally unfeminine.

The one I hear the most is -- because I dont wanna get big like a guy.
Or the more honest -- I don't have the willpower
and of course the --I dont have time BS like drew said, but we all hear that...

Because if I set foot inside a gym the tracer chip implanted in my teeth by my dentist will report that information to the government who will place me on a watch list because I'm a 'social deviant' because I'm moving away from obesity!
