"i dont want to become to big"

Dont worry, you wont. it would require a tremendous dose of sacrifice, work, food and genetics to become "big".

no offense, but usually the smaller guys who dont have the genetics tend to say this. "getting big" is harder then an obese man becomming slim
Yes, indeed. It requires years and years of hard training and dedication. Getting that 'big' is a hard thing to do and can always be control for those who don't want that shape.

You're saying a bunch of stuff everyone already knows, Zach.

Just accept an opinion and if you're happy with your body, then that's all that matters.
No need to dish out at certain bodytypes, then call it opinion. i"ve had a 4 week ban over an "opinion"

Plenty of guys entering the gym each day, i can insult half of them with my opinion. But i dont, and neighter should you.

exactly. If someone asks me about it irl i answer him "you eat less then a quarter of what you should to get big, dont worry"

wich is true, no matter what product, even illegal you use, at the end of the day, you build with what you eat or not.

Why so butthurt?
Every gym i come in, you can divide the people who trained for a while into two groups

- douchebags that indimidate and insult everyone thats new or not of their beachboy standards
- the nice guys, that create the good atmosphere in the gym, that are friendly, and who you get a good bond with.

I dont like the first group. I prefer gym to be supportive to each other, and not crack down.
Your comment insulted nearly every strenghtathlete above 100kg. So yeah, i didnt like it.
I hope in this thread you can keep away from the insults and trolling. This is a friendly supportive thread and everyone would like it to remain that.

It's not really the same, ever since the beginning you didn't have goal to gain a lot of muscle but different things. Plus, you're a long distance runner.
Yeah, as long as you have a goal in mind it's basically the same thing. Dedication, sacrifice etc. Just different motivations.

I've been training for years now and ever since I started I didn't want to become big and I still don't want to.
To become big, you need to eat ALOT and also ALOT of protein, you need 4 workouts per week, doing 4/5 sets of 12/15 reps, push yourself to increase weight while keeping form, you need good vitamins, might consider a preworkout, etc. Most important, you need to make most of the anabolic moments of the day, and protect yourself while beeing in a catabolic state.

The main efford, is creating all that microtrauma, and have enough N-molecules floating around to repair them, and build more, get used to it, increase, etc

As a long distance runner, it would require the impossible and more to become big, as you are allmost all the time in a catabolic state. You burn to much calories to be able to have a significant synthesis of new muscle.

On the other hand, you have excellent stamina, wich is a godsent

Why do some people have to become so defensive when someone else mentions that they don't want to become big? No one is offending anyone, it's just how one wants to look.

I think it's because I used the terms "ugly big" and "nice big". It's a matter of opinion, really. Besides, I have no idea what he looks like in terms of size too.

I don't think Zach is upset, thats just the way he rolls.

I wasn't talking about Zacheryah in particular, I actually don't read his posts. It's something I noticed for quite some time now.

Gorillas can be sensitive too.

Cut Zach some slack.

Wel, thats a good question right there.

Its because people who crave to become bigger and more muscular, or stronger(like me) know the crazy amount of work you have to put into it, each day. getting big is very hard without illegal stuff.
When people then say "i dont want to become big" we are like "oh man, you seriously have no idea of what efford its taking us"

its like driving a city car, and saying you dont want to hit 300 mph.

I dont want to come over as defensive. I have respect for every kind of sport,and hopes everyone can find joy in what he does.

My best friend tries to combine gym with running long distance and sprinting to become "all-rounded". i have as much respect for him as for the guy on insane diet trying to hit 3% fat whilst having 110 kg bodyweight

i think what Zach is trying to say is people who say i dont want to be big have close to 0 chance of actually ever becoming big unless they have freakish genes, to become big not only do you have to want it to happen but you have to pretty much gear your whole life around getting that accomplished

:agree:

It's quite funny. I rarely 'lift' with 'Beach Boys' like myself. The late night group (post 8 pm) that I work out with are mostly big dudes, they are often the most helpful + they appreciate and acknowledge the effort I put in despite not going for size or extreme strength but rather explosiveness and a toned body (ryan reynolds-style).

There's mos def a point in many of the local 'beach boys' being some arrogant dicks more interested in their mirror image than creating a good atmosphere in the gym and helping out the n00bs. dont laugh just give advice. big dudes got the biggest hearts :heart:

So when I laugh at the 'gorillas' its merely banter and not an ignorant without the respect of what it takes to become big. the big guys at my gym calls me "little shitter" despite being 6'1 and 172 pounds. good fun.

Then why the defensive approach to saying that?
