| Re: The weight lifting thread. Steroids and Shots. Get big real quick....
Other than that just hard work.
I used to weight lift in my late teens into my early 20's.
The gym was nice and had many huge professional lifters from the Carribean.
I used to work out with them, and put in 2 hours daily 5 to 6 days a week.
I benched 510lbs by myself two reps.
I back pressed about 1100lbs.
And leg pressed a ton. (Full 45lb. plates on both sides and a 120 lb girl sitting on top of the machine).
i wish i had pic's of me at that time. Shirts barely fit over my upper arms.
Shoulders were sliced and were huge as my back was. I also used to swim so that helped too.
My problem was i never had the size like the guys i worked out with, i had thier respect but not the size. They were bigger than me by at least 1 1/2 times my width, but i pulled nearly as much weight as they did.
I used too wish i could get steroids at the time. But i couldn't, so i took Creatine and Phospogane (both a waste). Currently have issues with my liver and im pretty sure it has something to do with that Creatine powder crap i was taking.
Basically unless you take some serious steriod like stuff, you will only be as big as your body was made to be genetically.
I was never slim and never had a six pack, but i weighed 220lbs and was rock hard. I stopped working out due too time, and trully regret it.
Currently i still weigh between 220-230 lbs, but now the weight shows. When i worked out i looked like i was barely pushing 190lbs except the parts of my body that were bulked up.
Dont know what you were looking for as a response in this thread, but thats my story.
As for advice, work hard, eat right, Cardio is key, and not heavy weights just lots of rep's like 20 reps per whatever your working out (each arm/leg). Dont have to go really heavy, I used to shoulder press with dumbells, on average 90lb-110lb dumb bells (10 reps), sitting up right on the bench and lifting straight up over my head both arms at the same time connecting, and bringing down my elbows to shoulder length.
All i can say,is i would have been good at 70lb weights and did more reps. Didnt need to go so high in weights. It would have been the same result with less chance of messing up my rotater cuff, which once it breaks its OVER!!!! Very thin little sheet on your shoulder.
