What if today was the last day you ever lifted weights?

[Garza]

I have been thinking about this recently.

I am 17, been in this a while, seen some good gains, expecting to see some great ones soon. What if I just quit, what if today was my last day in the gym? Where would I be?

I know missing a week at the gym literally hurts you. It makes your muscles feel so mushy, you feel so weak and sick. I couldn't handle the mental/physical pain of ceasing to train. I could never quit! My gains have came too damn hard to just give it all up. I love the way training makes me feel. If I quit today, tomorrow I'd be out doing God knows what, messing up my life. Thank God for the weights!

What about you?

shit I had to quit everything about 4 months ago when I snapped my humorus bone while in the middle of a heavy mass cycle. so I crashed big time I lost everything I mean everything I gained, I was layed up for about 2 1/2 months and I've been training now for about a month and it sux I can only bench 125lbs I used to lift double that, but every week I get alot stronger thank God...hopefully I will be back to normal by X-Mas with a little help from my box of goodies.

Box of goodies refers to EAS supplements, right?

At 17 I don't think u know much of what the future holds. I've seen so many young bodybuilders throw themselves head first into bodybuilding get very serious then a few years later just plain out stop. Some come back after a few years..some never do. U say taking a week off is bad..think again. If you are following a heavy routine for a couple of months it is WISE to take a week off. Your tendons need the break. It takes 7 days for tendons to be fully healed. U sound very optomistic about BB. Thumbs up to that but keep on learning...remember the more you learn the better are the chances that you won't get an injury and that one day u can achieve the most your body will allow..naturally that is. Good luck

Your joking right. I would think a box of eas supplements as a waste of cash. Thats just my 2 cents.

HMB took my cash away from me when it first appeared on the market. Bill said "it feels like deca"....Bastard. DIE Bill Eas never again.

 

[Garza]

Lol...yeah the eas thing was a joke. How would Mr Phillips know what deca feels like. Oh my goooooood.....you ......you don't think he took steroids do you?? *naive look*

Yeah I know resting a week is good. No, I won't quit lifting. Thats a guarantee.

If it were my last day ever? I'd pop 10 dbol and go workout for like 8 hours. I would do my whole week in one day. I'd go right down the line: Legs, chest, back, shoulders, bis, tris, calves, abs. I'm talkin 12 sets per bodypart. In the middle somewhere I'd take a break to eat like 4 steaks and a box of pasta and then back I'd go. I'd probably have a heart attack but who the fuck cares if I'm never gonna lift again, I might as well be dead.

 

[b fold the truth]

If today were my last day, I would not workout. I would call everyone in my family and apologize for every bit of hurt that I have caused them. I would tell my dad some more that I do love him and hope that he would finally tell me the same back for once. I would call up my best friend and apologize to her for hurting her many times over and would beg her forgiveness. I would call my old lifting partner up and tell him just one more time that I love him and to never forget the great times we had together. I would also call up an old friend from across the country and tell her to keep her chin up and not to forget that prayer can help with all of her problems.

After that, I would probably go train legs.

That was great B Fold... That really shows your hearts desire.

If today was the last day I could ever train, I'd pop about 30 ripped fuel and go hit legs for a couple of hours.

The day after I'd go sky diving... without a chute.
