I'm quitting lifting, it's a wrap, SRS.

[monster0ultra]

The funny thing about when bodybuilders and jestbrah claim it only adds 10% is you get 10% gain a relatively short period with a low amount. So why do they need to use multiple grams for years?

Mike Israel also parrots the 10% BS. That guy is such a fgt.

IDK about multiple grams though. I just use Palumbo as my authoritative source for all things creatine and he says there's no point in going over 1g creatine and 500 of something else to stack with.

Palumbo says that and it's probably true but at some point I'd guess most of them have tried much more.

you got a rematch scheduled with the hairy hooker who powerbombed you through a chitty ikea table then robbed your ass while you were unconscious in that filthy motel 6 or nah

Rumble in the jungle. Lol.

[OGfrom06]

Saw your pic OP

You never lifted srsly.

[monster0ultra]

Saw your pic OP

You never lifted srsly.

I did your max for 19 reps on a first attempt when I was 185lbs natty during a phase of my life where I was too stressed from work to train hard.

[dopamine72]

How long and how serious were you lifting for?

I've been non-stop lifting since 19 (meaning I never took a break)..Before that I was off and on @ 15 years old..I'm 35 now and still lifting heavy and bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic than 95% ++ of people

My gains are permanent from the years of holding mass..I've been in the hospital with pancreatitis almost died and still held 95% of my mass after not eating 1 calorie for over a month (was shredded like mad, kept lifting while sick)

Point being if you truly were lifting for a long time like me you would have some serious permanent mass built that would take years to dwindle away from completely staying out of weight training

You don't seem to have mass, therefore I don't think you were ever lifting properly to begin with..Thus your claim is false since you never started lifting in the first place

Nice story tho OP

Shows your true character (delusional)

This is kinda true. I haven't lifted seriously in almost a decade and I haven't lost much muscle. Then again I normally eat 5000 calories a day, so it may have to do with that too.

Whenever I get back to lifting it takes me less than 2 months to rep 3 plates again.

[ElonFan96]

Very based post

A lot of these mfers outchea are jacks of many trades and master of nothin. They’ll be punching a bag in the gym with no technique thinking they are bad ass when they would lose a fight against your average untrained Joe

You’ll be moggin in no time.

benching 3 plates as a fat fuk is not impressive at all. Do it lean and we’ll take it more srsly

How do you erase all your post srs

[Godfrd824]

I am hurt. But I could also rep 3 plates at 210lbs. What can I say. I love food.

The hard way.

imagine not having the willpower to remain lean enough to even have visible abs (17% and below).

[MetroBrah]

My issue is that I can not eat enough food. I'm drinking meal replacement shakes on top of my meals and still struggling to even get 3000cals srs. Honestly, just tired of force feeding

As a bro who went from fat to juicy to back to chunky gym is ehhh wouldn’t change gyming but if yall boyos wanna get the lady’s learn to sing. Plus with instruments and singing. Over the years it’s helps way more then being juicy. I haven’t lifted in the gym in months bro but my new finger game is 10/10

[IlChosenOne]

You don’t have the genetics for boxing, just like the gear didn’t help you either

Surprisingly I know that feeling. Eating clean is a chore. I'm on a cut now and getting even 200g of protein is a fuking hassle.

[MikeLowrrrey]

Naa

Godfrd is good in my book. Not sure why ya'll call him fat when the guy is obviously stronger than 85% of the population and probably 95% of his age group.

Don't care what anybody says, 3 plate bench is nothing to scuff at. He's not a weak skinny ****.

Agree with this

I started lifting in highschool and am 37 now so almost 20 years of no-quit dedication

I do think I have a lot of permanent mass within reason, and whatever falls off I think I could get back in like 2 months if I wanted.

[guest89]

37 here and solid, thicc, tight, etc. OP based on your pic you never build any muscle in the first place. So whatever you did, you did wrong.

If anything if you were consistent long term. When you get older it just becomes a lot freaking easier to be jacked IMO.


Currently at my best at 37. Improve little bits each year without too much effort. I have no doubt at 40 I'll be a top 1% male for my age bracket. Feels good.

[sowilson]

silly youngster OP. I'm 64. My COVID project was learning the violin (for playing Traditional Irish Music). That's come along nicely. I started reading Russian literature in my late 50's and have been working on learning Russian so that I can recite the Poetry of Yesenin. This is a damn hard thing to do but I'm progressing nicely. To go to University in my state it's roughly $500 per credit hour. Once you've reached the age of 55 you can take classes at $10 per credit hour. I've used that to pick up some IT classes (for my job). When I retire I plan on getting a BS is Russian or maybe a Masters in ethnomusicology. By studying, hiking, playing music, learning a language I keep my mind and body young. Better than rotting. Besides, chick's in their 20's dig it and getting attention from them is rather nice. Who knows, you even get lucky once and awhile.

[Voidgaze]

Around 5 months of 200 and 2 months of 400. Around 10% gain on OHP and Deadlift and 25% gain on Lat Pulldown.

Great pics.

I think the lack thereof explains why you're really stopping.

[ChangGang]

Why would you take up boxing at 34?

Of the two, boxing is the one that's actually the young man's sport.

At least with powerlifting/strength training, you still see guys hit their their best numbers later on in life.

With boxing, at 34, you're asking to get lit up by some young BULL lulz. Fkn imagine taking up boxing, at 34, thinking you're going to go pro one day at the ripe prime age of 38-40 LMAO. Your geriatric reflex and reaction time would get you beat up.

Don't be one of these modern day coping cringelord who betrays the iron game due to exposure of combat sports like UFC and boxing; you're 34 LOL. You're never going to be that bad ass combat athlete you think you're going to be. You're never going to be in such a real life situation in which you come out looking like a bad ass with your boxing/combat skill like you've imagined in your head.

Street fights/bar brawls are fkn dumb and brutal. A life can end with a single sucker punch. Rules and honor go out the window. The best and baddest combat athletes would tell you to avoid street fights if at all possible.

At least with strength training, you'll continue to LOOK intimidating, which would help you avoid those kinds of scenarios in the first place. You'll also continue to look respectable, dignified, and masculine, if you continue to lift and maintain size into your late 30s and early 40s.

besides that, Asians (especially East Asians) are fkn trash tier combat athletes 95% of the time, due to our trash tier limb length.

[gesten]

Do whatever the fuk u wanna do

If you want muscles lift if you want boxing box

LMAO@ making this an age thing

Chaundo tan is 60, lifts, and pulls 21 year old girls daily

Meanwhile your 34 and talking about age lmao

Wtf are u even trying to do? Be a competitor? competing in bb is mentally ill. Having muscles =/= competing

I'm rocking a 77 inch wingspan dawg.

Also, I'm much better athlete than the average man. I'd much rather be me at 34 than an average man at 18 as far as physical performance goes. I'm not a delusional cokehead like Brad saying he's built different. I legitimately am stronger than all the retards ITT talking chit, I could run a 400 in the low 50s when I was in HS, could dunk a basketball. When I went to the doctor last year when I weighed 180, my heart rate was 42 (I weigh 218 RN and it's gone up to 70 though, ouch).

Also, it's not like it's a completely fresh start. It's not like I've been sitting on the couch my entire life. I'm already in shape, I already know how to train, how to push, how to diet. Most importantly, I've lived life, getting things done is a general quality and the same principles apply to any goal or task and I've very good at getting things done. I don't have any family responsibilities either and I have a WFH job that IDGAF about and I have enough money at this point to where IDC if I get fired so I can go all in on training.

All in all though, I don't care to defend myself on this. I already said I'm doing it because I want to do it. I have no expectation of making money or a career off of it so what difference does it make?

The final point to make is, none of this theorizing matters. Mike Tyson is a retard but "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" is a great quote. The only way to know is to get in there and fight people, maybe it'll go well, maybe it won't. I'm not afraid of that risk of that unknown so I'll go find out for myself and that's all there is to it.

[x-trainer ben]

At age 34/35 you don't quit, what you do is switch to another sport and return later.
When you have been lifting since your teen years, you can get tired of or bored with lifting so this is where the idea of "cross training" or switching to sports for a few months comes from..
Lifting becomes part of you.....
