To be honest......I'm with IronLeague and Freak. I'm not worried about anybody but myself. Just like IronLeague said......"focus on the task at hand".....those are words from a true bodybuilder. And as far as cheat curls go, your not gonna grow if you don't add those forced reps.....its somethin you fellas should know a thing or two about...its called overload.

Not everyone is going to really "get it". I figure, anyone keeps coming back will stop with all the bullshit cheat sets, and (as Mr. T says) jibba jabba. Those who are in there to shoot the shit and use poor form (ignorantly) will stop coming back. Everyone starts somewhere. Some people stop. Stay true to yourself bros.

Yeah, every gyms filled with cats that dont know what their doin. But hey, at least tha peeps r doin some form of exercise, just pisses me off that so-called personal trainers & gym employees dont help these peeps out & show em proper form. after all, they get injured, the gym loses a paycheck.

ego is over rated, but some cats just dont get it.

Yea bro it is overrated...Theres nuttin wrong with goin heavy...shit its what we do...but if you cant get the form then its pointless...if your goin to failure and you gotta cheat 2 more,then right on...but when you get these cats that do it all the time and you try to help them and they look down at you..i have no use for them ya dig?

[violator]

totally, i hear what u sayin liftbig, its all about the form, but those 2b fibres sometimes need those little extra cheats.
go heavy, go hardcore, or go the fuck home.

i do agree but sometimes it's so hard not to notice the shit that goes on around you. if it wasn't for the motivational effect those asses have on me then i might just kill them

some of the stuff is pretty comical.

The only thing i worry about in the gym is just me, the best thing anyone else in the gym can do is stay out of my way because i like to be focused. Ya, sometimes you have guys who dont know what there doing day after day but do him a facor and set him straight. Remember Animal or not everyone is in the gym to improve there lives. For example this new kid in the gym was doing chest for the THIRD DAY doing the same exercises over and over again, i walked over and told him to stop doing that or else he was gonna get hurt and not get any gains at all. The kid listened and now he is doin better. Brothers just give up 3 minutes to help someone and it will be worth it because then that kid will help someone too. Its like a chain. Train hard and lets help others as well. Strength and Honor

"DRIVE IT,PUSH YOUR FEET THROUGH THE FUCKING FLOOR" is what i heard muffled as my ears were clogged with Lamb of God blasting.Deadlifting,It doesnt get much more real then that.just you and the dead weight fucking calling you out,staring you down.As im 7 sets deep i went for my personal best..340,Light to many,but a goal for me.As i stood there staring down the weight with a crowd starting to form near the rack i was in,Though it was crowded I've never felt more alone.I went into a dark place in my mind,a place where i put the bullshit that i keep bottled up..In this moment a very important person came to mind,My Nonnie who is in a Rehab center with liver cancer that is slowly eating away at her.Strength doesnt even begin to describe this woman who has been fighting it for 17 years and refuses to give up,Its a battle that shes going to lose and she knows that yet she doesnt give up and i think of how that effects me and how weak she is right now..I never ever thought by her being weak would give me such animalistic strength.As I stare at that bar i think of her lying in that bed and how much pain she is in,As everyone is screaming in this moment i dont hear a sound,As i approach the weight i say In a quiet yet violent tone "You aint shit motherfucker" take 2 steps forward without strapping i grip the bar and fucking crush it..Words cannot describe the high i got after pulling that weight..its something ill never forget..This is just one highlight of my journey there is work to be done and a long hard road to travel...Is it a sin, when you reach a limit? When you've taken your last step. When you can't go no more you find that dark place deep inside. Forget the world you come from. Embrace the world you're in.

Good post bro and congrats on your personal best. Sorry to hear about your loved one with cancer. Also I feel ya, when you were talking about that dark place - its like being in the zone. When I get there its like I can hear people around me and I can see everything but I feel detached from it all and then next thing thats happening is the fucking weights moving. Keep up the posts bro - looking forward to your next one.

Good shit man... Way to dig deep into your being to find a better and greater you. I know that dark place well. Peace, G

great post. I love that place. Noone has a face. They move in slow motion. The world is black and white, Right and wrong, no gray areas. Pain is pleasure.

Tonight we set the clocks ahead one hour.For most people that means losing an hour of sleep,To me its fucking losing an hour of life.As I sit here on this lonely saturday night stuffing myself,Im having a conversation with this girl im interested in.Were talking about friends,family and all that.Its her birthday Monday and her grandma recently passed and she was saying she wishes she can be there.We talked about how her grandma lived every moment like it was her last..How life is what you make of it,And how most people realize that....As their writing out the Will.Fellas I refuse to write a will waiting to die,Im writing one today.Not a Will to die,But a Will to live,A Will to never give up and never let life pass me by.They say the only way to kill a Lion is with a Rear Naked choke and to ride him til he dies.So why should it be any different for us Animals? Brothers I say Train as if its your last time,Eat as if its your last crumb and grab life by the fucking balls and ride that motherfucker until your last breath.

[Enforcer25]

Awesome post Brother and well written.

[SSGTChuck]

They make us update our wills evry time we deploy, and every time I am standing in that line, the Animal in my head is screaming at them that NO ONE will stop me from coming home to my girl and my kids, and what they can do with their precious little paperwork....
