Seems like everyone pics on misc section people for not lifting, but I was just wodnering if this was actually the case.
I've been lifting seriously for about a year and a half now, I mainly post in misc because I don't really have any questions, but there's also people who are more qualified to answer questions regarding bodybuilding than I am, if I do have a question I post it, but I rarely feel so inclined.
So, do you lift or are you just here for Bryan Peppers and flaming?
Edit: If you do lift, how seriously do you take it? Is it a hobby or is it a part of your lifestyle?

Yes, but I am not your typical bodybuilder. More like a nice looking beach body...

I voted "No" as a joke and figured I'd be in the majority. But it looks like most people are defending this section's honor.

I don't understand why everyone seems to think that the entire misc. section doesn't lift?
Who goes to a videogame misc. forum and doesn't play videogames?
I'd assume it's only the trolls who don't lift.

This is what I figured it would be but people always pick on misc section people. Seems like it's just as much a lifestyle for us as it is for people who post in any other section.

there are a number of people here who dont lift. I might even go as far as to encourage someone NOT to lift. It is hard work, costly, time consuming, girls dont even care, you can get injured, in years to come you wont even noticed you lifted before, people will think you're vain, guys will sort of look down on you/be jealous.
Therefore I adivse you all to stop lifting. Really whats the point. Go ahead if you want but at least serisouly consider stop lifting.

I lift but I can only participate in so many supplement/exercise/steroid threads before I start to crave the random info and humor of the Misc. Sect.

Just because I don't go in every other section and post, I still lurk there. More often that not, if I go and there's a Q I want to ask, someone's already asked it.
And it beats answering the same Q's over and over and over again...Viking to the core.

02-10-2006, 06:52 PM #21Thats a blanket statement. If you lift give it up for a couple weeks, youll see there is little point. I understand it fully, it is the poeple who have been blinded by the "bodybuilding bug" that have the distorted perception. Please stop lifting.Originally Posted by IceDragon

Then why the hell are you on a Bodybuilding Forum if you encourage others to not lift?Originally Posted by HB9
Hard Work = Good Work Ethic
Costly = No.. Unless you pay $500 to work out at some popular gym where all the gays like to hang out and listen to Pop Music on the gym's radio
Time Consuming = Not if your organized and view weight-lifting in a different/positive way.. Unlike you
Girls Don't Even Care = No matter how much people say "GIRLS DONT WANT MUSCLES," girls will take a ripped 200 pound guy then some shrimp skateboarding emo with a 120 pound frame and a 6-pack of bones..
You Can Get Injured = ......... shutup ......Gandolf Swag.

02-10-2006, 06:57 PM #25You prolly could beat me up because you lift. But know what, I dont respect lifters. I tell people to give it up, and actually talked one guy out of going to the gym. My poihnts are concrete and factual. Plus when you get married and have a family you'll give it up then anyways. So why even bother!Originally Posted by MPM17AB

I lift. I can't not lift; I don't even take weeks off even though I'm supposed to. I lift for (mentally/psychologically) therapeutic purposes, and to give me confidence. I don't consider myself a bodybuilder, because I have absolutely zero interest in competing. I take supplements like creatine/protein powder/protein bars, I eat clean, and I eat every three hours. But I smoke, and I drink ON WEEKENDS. So, in a nutshell, yes I do lift, and am a serious gymrat, but I am not a bodybuilder.

I never said anything about "beating you up"... and your points aren't concrete and factual at all.. Many of us will disagree in a sense so their just opinions..Originally Posted by HB9Gandolf Swag.

5 days a week. It's not just a hobby for me.
I love the misc. section beause it is highly entertaining and has a diverse collection of people. Some of the funniest sh*t I've ever seen/read in my life has been in the misc. forum. I couldn't live without it and think it is unique because I go to other sites but never have I come across anything that compares to the BB.com misc. forum.
I of course read and post in the other forums here as well and people always crack on the misc. section but I think it's great. The misc. section RULES!!!!!!!!!90% of the game is half mental...
You can read me, but you can't see me!!!!!
