Hardcore -- What it is...

[Citruscide]

I had another response typed out, but I re-read it...you're reading into my post more than what is presented. I am "for real" and gave a sincere compliment. That's all...no drama. Unlike you I have only one persona..the real me. I am the same person inside and outside of the gym and on every board I visit.

That's where we differ I guess... If I were the same person in the gym as out... they'd have to lock me in a cage. In my gym, I'm an animal...

It's nice to know you can "be yourself" at your gym... but then again, you're a woman. (no offense spatts)

Hardcore- Full intensity with no regrets, no holding back and above all no limits place by oithers. To do what the other person won't and keep on doing it.....

All most passed out today on clean and jerks
185 x 8
195 x 7
205 x 6 dropped the 7th cause I couldn't see.....

Ahh, another nauseating workout today. Did chest.

5x5, flat bench
2x8, incline db
2x8, incline flys
ab work

Felt like puking like 3/4 of the way into it. Ahh, that feels so good.

Never again.

Pain is not an indicator of growth ...

However, I do agree that cables are useless.

If you look up HardCore in a dictionary, you'll find Intensely Loyal. Die Hard. Dedicated.... to bodybuilders, it's a whole lot more than that... it's a way of thinking... a way of life.

For several of us on this board who saywe are "hardcore"... it means training balls out as hard as you can without foo-fooness. And by Foo-fooness (at least as I have observed it in gyms I've worked out in), I mean nice, fancy clean equipment, expensive gym sound systems pumping Rick Dees and the weekly top 40, cardio equipment connected to the interent so you can "surf" while you are exercising, magazine racks that feature such titles as.... hell... magazine racks period.

A nice dark, dank, hole of a gym with concrete floors and a gym that demands you use chalk. Weights that are time tested and made of scarred Iron and Steel. Bloodstains on the floor from insane workouts within the asylum of pain.

But just a gym isn't being "hardcore" -- Hardcore is training your legs so hard that when you are running to the bathroom to puke, you don't know if you are going to make it. It's not caring if the music is playing, because when you train all you can hear is the blood pounding through your ears.

Hit on women at the gym? Fuck that... pick up some girls for dinner and drinks... talk to them then... until then Junior... stop wacking your dick and train.

Train hard and don't screw around... I love the gym.

He is quite possibly the greatest man who ever lived. I've incorporated many of his ideas and thoughts into my own routine, and yes, used some of his expressions in writing this. I recently had the opportunity to meet and talk with John, and he really is a work of art... in more than just a physique, but a train of thought.
