	2008/03/30, 02:49 PM I think I better alert dubya and the security council on this one. This smacks of black dragon shenanigans. Crypto's is on it so don't anybody worry. We'll get to the bottom of it. -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats Charlie

Pensfan Posts: 484 Joined: 2008/03/14	2008/03/31, 03:37 PM i wondered how people would respond to that question. good point tim i came to the conclusion that it is just because all of my friends are fat or skinny with no muscle:laugh: not a bad problem to have though

I help people get to where I am, or beyond. Remain humble and never brag... -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

Pensfan Posts: 484 Joined: 2008/03/14	2008/03/31, 04:18 PM i don't man i tell them that i don't even consider myself big and that i don't even think that i am any better than the next guy i don't even bring it up they do. i just started lifting in May of 07. i never brag- he** i lift alone in my basement another question how often do you guys work out your biceps and triceps i do it 2x a week monday and friday (both bicep and Tricep each day) and do you put a break in between sets or do you get to the next set as soon as you set up for it.
jbennett Posts: 1,558 Joined: 2001/02/28	2008/03/31, 05:08 PM I train triceps with chest, but I also hit them a bit on shoulder day. I train biceps MAYBE once a month. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

Pensfan Posts: 484 Joined: 2008/03/14	2008/03/31, 06:38 PM why only once a month on the biceps ive read of people doing that and getting the same results as people that do to once a week or more often or even better result same as some other muscles thats a lot of recovery time

ecle5c Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/07/10	2008/04/01, 08:31 AM If you lift heavy on back day you get plenty of bicep work doing pull-ups and rows without having to do the isolation exercises. I'd venture to guess that's what JBennett does.

amyksmith76 Posts: 601 Joined: 2005/07/26	2008/04/01, 01:26 PM I don't know. Not to be mean, but maybe it's like when girls all go out to lunch and one says "I'm so fat" and all of the other girls chime in, "No you aren't! You are so skinny! So pretty! Why are you on a diet? I would love to look like you!" Yes, sometimes we see ourselves differently than our friends. Sometimes our friends just don't want to hurt our feelings. ;)
Pensfan Posts: 484 Joined: 2008/03/14	2008/04/01, 04:10 PM they defiantly mean what they say. I can just be standing there and people will compliment me out of the blue. If they dont mean it they made one heck of an effort to make me believe them. Ill just try and reach my goals and that will solve my problem. Any more ideas
Pensfan Posts: 484 Joined: 2008/03/14	2008/04/01, 04:16 PM My friends aren't like that though if your fat and a friend you will get made fun of for it. if your ugly same deal. we don't do it to random people just each other. My friends show no real sympathy.
ecle5c Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/07/10	2008/04/01, 05:26 PM What is the point of telling us this? I think you're trying to stroke your ego a little too much here. Or are you honestly asking us to tell you why people randomly tell you how huge and great you are? Come on.
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2008/04/01, 05:29 PM I was kinda wondering that too. I love the part when he asks "any more ideas?" More than likely, it is because your friends are on the border of looking anorexic, or fat. That's my idea. I'd say that if you're feeling big enough to bother telling us this, then you should go to a strongman meet and check out the middle and heavyweights. Once you start seeing guys with forearms bigger than your legs you might rethink your self-perception. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
Pensfan Posts: 484 Joined: 2008/03/14	2008/04/01, 05:52 PM honestly man i think im puny ANY MORE IDEAS not to be a jerk this questions gone bad More than likely, it is because your friends are on the border of looking anorexic, or fat. That's my idea. thats probably it. Wrestler Those guys are on steroids- most of them sorry if i made things come off like i had a big ego. Or are you honestly asking us to tell you why people randomly tell you how huge and great you are? Come on.- yeah i am i only weigh 150 those strongmen are huge and i guarantee that they do have forearms the size of my legs this has to be kind of funny foir someone randomly reading this post. Once again sorry didnt mean for things to come off wrong.
