OK GUYS it's time to come out and say it.

Alrighty lately me and my brother tend to fight about this alot he's more into the GETTING BIG and don't get me wrong he's 15 and weighs 205 HES GETTING BIG he has 15 inch arms 35 inch waist and 39 inch chest well anyway he saw me today talkin on the phone and i was in a tank top and i kept lookin at my arms and delts and back while i'm talkin on the phone and he says to me "powerlifters don't look at themselves in the mirror and flex u lil bitch" ( he thinks b/c he weighs 5 lbs more than me that he can push me round all of a sudden)so I admitted it's tru in a way sometime i catch myself doing BB things.

BUT I'm SURE that most of you guys do it too.

Now i'm not sayin i'm gonna try and get stronger and bulk and cut but I've been thinkin bout it and at my age women love abs so I think i'ma do what i never thought i'd do again and i havn't done since november. YUP the thing called cardio I'll start doing it on off lifting days or something and start watchin my diet I'll inform ya'll if I get weaker, BUT the way i see it is at my age I can do it 18(in 5 days) i'm young no matter what i do i'll get stronger unless i'm doing heavy lifting everyday and stil i might make progress who knows.

So those of you out there that do this shit like i was caught today ADMIT IT.

Funny you should mention that.....I catch Ryan doing that all the time! He cracks me up, he's so cute. Occasionally I sneak up on him when he's in the bathroom and peak around the corner and there he is, flexing in the mirror.......but ya know I have to admit that I too could be caught doing the same thing. Women do the same thing, its not a bad thing to look at yourself, you're just looking at the hard work that you've put into making your body look the way it does. Or at least thats the way we look at it and what we tell each other when we catch one another looking at ourselves.

OK well if the worlds strongest bencher(pretty much) does it than I guess it's ok for me to do it.

Damn i mean what i do find a lil bit of myself to be a hypocrite sometime is that i see my brother flexin in the mirror doin all these posses then I make fun of him and i see guys that come into my work I work at publix a grocery store and all these guys from GOLD gym come in there and they're pushin their grocery cart and flexing as HARD as they can their tri's although some of them don't even have bigger arms than me and my arms r only 16.5(yes that .5 matters to me ).

Oh well either way I gotta stop doin it i find myself wantin to switch over to the BB world, HHHHHAAAHHHAAAA that's the BIGGEST CROCK of shit i've heard come outta my mouth all night.

bodybuilding is not all bad............. i mean c'mon. me and several others on these boards are bodybuilder who also train using westside and other powerlifting techniques.

i will put it this way....... i have never seen another bodybuilder besides me do band box squat or 3 board press?!?!?!?!?!

so yes i flex alot too......... its good to work the sorness out without over taxing the body in addition to recovery work(something else i still do as a bodybuilder)

plus it conditions the muscles in a whole differnt way than just lifting could ever do........ but if your just a powerlifter, this probably wont matter to you.

but i powerlift to get stronger....... than use that strength to build bigger muscles........

yeah but be careful about flexing the grocery store....... you can look like an idot....... unless your big...... than nobody will get upset.

i flex all the tiime too.. my 13.5 inch arms, my 26 inch waist and my 39 inch (flexed) chest

I think you can do both, to a degree. Have you seen pics of Kaz at his prime (Hannibal posted one recently I think) -- the guy was/is f*king HUGE and pretty well-defined.

Sure, he wasn't BB-style "cut" and maybe you couldn't count the individual muscle cells and veins in his obliques, but he wasn't anywhere near being a slob, either, and he's one of the strongest guys in history. I'm just using him as an example - there are plenty others I can't think of right now...

Of course there's a big difference between knowing its possible and doing it, and Kaz is a freak of nature, but it can be done. (and let me know how when you figure it out )

Just to be obnoxious, I would like to point out that my wife has arms the same size as yours right about now, and she weighs about 110. She also has triceps from hell.

I never flex.

And I have never done a barbell curl, either.

Arioch is athlete, and man in their purest forms. I admire that.

I on the other hand am a gym rat, high squatting weirdo, who measures his arms every day. I have to admit, I have been caught flexing by the wife.

I would rather be caught masturbating. It is less embarrassing. It shames me to say that I flex. But I do. I cannot say it is a pretty thing when I do, but I have an active imagination that can slice away the flab and adds inches to my arms and chest.

When I flex and you see it, it looks like the pics in the thread benchmonster's back. But when I look in the mirror, I see Arnold circa 1980. Perception is everything.

I caught my son flexing in the mirror the other day.


I will get a shitload of milage out of that one.

Nothing wrong with rolling up your sleve and hitting a "walk by" biceps shot in a car mirror in a mall parking lot.......a least thats what I hear!
