WHAT are you and WHY?

???

Pound for pound excuse? Tell me, what is more "impressive"--

a 150 # guy who DL 500 lbs
-or-
a 250 # guy who DL 500 lbs

Frankly, pound for pound does matter (at least to me) or why would they have weight classes in boxing, MMA, wrestling, OL, BB, PL, etc, etc?

hehe I look at it like this. If someone is so strong, or so powerful, let them take on anyone. Why have limits? Just dont appreciate people telling me Im strong "for my size". That kind of thing. I dont get that too much anymore, and now I want to just become "strong" regardless of size. JMO Like your new pic Nonerz hehe

i'm a weight lifter. i'm not an athlete.

i had someone in the gym ask me what sport i was training for...it really threw me off. i never thought much about WHY i was training other than it made me feel awesome. i guess lifting weights fulfills my desire to be active since sports never did -

I'm kinda a dick who loves to train. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to train with some phenominal bodybuilders. I started lifting hard with the desire to change my body composition. After I started to notice changes I set a few goals.

First I wanted to see a vein in my arm. Not an unrealistic goal. Then I wanted to see a vein in my leg. Again not unrealistic.
Now I want to se the veins in my abs. Like that's gonna happen.

I train to fight. Because first and foremost I am a fighter. However, I believe that due to the compulsive nature of my person it will not be long until I am training to be a full fleged body builder.

I'm a sick, sick, man. I want the world and I will not compromise. I train to win.... because there is no other way. So I guess it all comes down the the fact that I'm a strength training body builder. Does that work?

Fuck yea that works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With females it is different IMO, but with guys it doesn't matter. I rather be big and strong, I would hate to be 150lbs and have same strength (although, i'm sure, it would be great in competition).

They obviously have different weight classes because they see the bigger weight to have a better advantage ... I like that advantage and I will make it work for me.

I have to admit, it is motivating to see a 150lbs guy pull a 500deadlift, but I really don't wanna be that guy (no offense to anyone).

Also, take into account height. Height to weight ratio matters a lot, I am refering to someone my height (6'3+) when I bring up the 150lbs. Obviously, 150lbs is pretty damn big for someone who is 5'0. So it is all relative ...

It is impressive no doubt. And maybe the classes motivate those who compete. Cuz it gives them a chance. But IMO I think just about anyone can weigh 300lbs. It may be tough as hell, but I think it depends on how how hard someone is willing to train and eat, or the amount of drugs they are willing to put in thier system.That person has to be purely dedicated to the cause and for many years. I dont believe in a limit. I beleive if I were to tell people on here "Your strong for your size", that would be talking down to them. Cuz I used to hate, and still hate when people say that to me. Dont pay me any mind though hehe
