Tannhauser Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'd be interested to here Tannhauser's opinion You rang? Always happy to volunteer opinions on gyms. For many years, I found it easy to draw a distinction between the atmosphere in gyms and that in Sports centres. Gyms were pretty much always friendly places, where people would lift, have a chat and a joke and so on. Sports centres were always full of po-faced buggers who looked like they couldn't wait to get out of there. Now I can't distinguish the two. Most people in my gym seem mesmerised from the moment that they get in there by the flat screen TVs, which show an endless rotation of videos for shit corporate-drivel dance/rap songs. Very few speak to anyone else. No one has the faintest notion of 'gym etiquette' - like checking to see if anyone is using the equipment before annexing it, or doing curls in the squat rack. Now that everyone and his mother goes to the gym, it's pretty difficult to find one that does more than grudgingly tolerate the 'serious' lifters. All the money is in the lycra brigade. I really could go on and on and on about this, as could anyone who has been training for more than - say - 15 years and has seen things change in that time.

Yes Cliff, this is most annoying. They're like zombies aren't they? Batteries have nearly run out on my Minidisc player today too so I might be faced with watching this drivel.

Tannhauser Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 im with your post mate just cos there big it don't make them more powerfull. im one of the slimmest in our weights gym and can lift more than any of the 18 stoner buffalo heads. Good for you. But as a general rule, of course bigger means stronger. Otherwise there would be no point in having weight divisions in weight-lifting, power-lifting and boxing, would there? To put it another way: if you have developed such an impressive level of strength at your currently slim size, you would almost certainly be even more ahead of those guys with another 20 lbs of muscle. As Dante (the trainer, not Dante Alighieri) puts it: ' I haven't seen a guy who can squat 500 for 20 reps, bench press 500 for 15 and deadlift 500 for 15 who was small yet ---but I have seen a lot and I mean a lot of people in the gym and on these Internet forums that are a buck 65 or two and change, shouting that you don't have to lift heavy to get big (in rare cases you will see a naturally strong powerlifter who has to curb calories to stay in a weight class and that is the reason he doesn't get bigger).'

Cliff i dont think you need big weights to get big and monster weights dont always mean you will get big(hey im tiny) but you definatly take on a more solid look with heavy training. size is more dictated by heavy eating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm sure you look great mate - but IMHO seen too many AS guys with liver failure chasing that look going 7 nights a week etc etc I find that extraordinary. I've been training for 28 years, in many different gyms, and have encountered many, many people on steroids. I'm not aware of any of them suffering obvious liver damage, let alone liver failure. I'm not saying that it's not possible. The 17-alpha alkylated oral steroids like anadrol are known to alter liver function. And pro-bodybuilder Andreas Munzer died of liver failure, I think (but he was supposedly taking a huge cocktail of drugs). 'Too many' implies - to me - you've seen it more than once. I would have laid money that it's pretty rare. Big Roy would be the person to ask - where is he, when he is needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Potential liver damage - not to be too over dramatic about it) People get caught up in it - easy gains etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
