strong man

[soserious]

discuss strongman,
different countries, favourites, stuff like that.

i used to watch strongman WSM all the time, but i iss most of them due to unklnown scheduling of programmes.

my favourites are JOUKO AHOLA http://66.241.223.243/images/jouko-small.jpg

amongst others.

used to be really dreaming f being stronger everyday. it was a big part of my identity: stength and having muscle.
now im puny and at a point in my life where i must do cardio or die much too soon and i need my strength to be much much better so i can be feeling *at home* again in my own skin.

hard to explain, but ive grown up around bodybuilding and strongman influences and trained before anyone even knew it, it was a big part of my life and since the last several years its taken a lot of steps back and so has my health.

perhaps i will try to refresh some memories as a first step forward and back.


so, what are your thoughts and experiences with these things?

You should start training again to feel better about Yourself. If You can't find the motivation there, move to Finland where the strongest of us live and train.

[Valk]

I'm sure he has enough money for that. :roll: :wink:

[soserious]

well, i am training, always. i quit lifting for a number ofmonths due to injury-but it never got better and i was feeling very uncomfortable not training, besides the fact everyone was asking me if i was sick( lost like 50lbs of meat) well 40 meat 10 fat. in a quick time, this happened around the same time my brother died and stuff and my life was no longer certain with colege or work and mybody started to really show its bad reactions to some foods and even what mess missing 1 meal could do to me.

im NEARLY upto SOME of my old strengths from age 19 (this is when everything happened, at 19) im 23, nearly 24 now so you can see how long this mess has been.

so yeah, i am training but i dont eat enough and i am weak with less ability to train hard and push myself. so it is a struggle.

mainly it is food though.
and my insides, heart ect.

Why aren't You eating properly when You know how bad it is for You? :?

[soserious]

I'm sure he has enough money for that. :roll: :wink:


i was overdrawn today and im sure theyll fine me for it :x
but people have gone further with less, theres something i was thinking of doing but its a long commitment that i could not get out of and i would have to give up my new home here.

but technically if i REALLY had some vision of going somewhere/ anywhere i guess id try to sell my stuff i do have.
i have chest pains right now- i told myself on sunday id start (last sunday) walking/ jogging, then monday then this morning.. i have not done it once.
i PLAN to start tomorrow, around 5am maybe.
i have 6 weeks and then i have thins to do so training and eating wll be um, messed up for several weeks.

[soserious]

Why aren't You eating properly when You know how bad it is for You? :?

stupidity?
depression?
lack of ideas?
lack of plan?
lack of willpower?
other?
boredom?
the desire to destroy myself further?

all of the above.


i can buy turkey diced thigh, it is fairly cheap and high protein (£1.72 for 600gm at asda) i would have half with breaklfast and half with lunch then something else with dinner- but i just let it sit in the fridge-go bad and throw them out.
im bored as hell.
and as for carbs, i just dont have ideas to make foods and then i am lazy or disaffected. sometimes for days i would not eat even though i get so sick and weak and lose weight because i am simply THAT bored with my foods.

[Valk]

Hmmm...

Why dont you get into cooking? Its a new hobby and it will make food much more interesting.

[soserious]

nice thought but thats toooo much hassle.
i hate washing up and cooking basic stuff let alone fancy cooking.

partly its because when i need food i NEED food. i cannot wait any time at all or i get weak and sick and very psyched out-my fridge has knuckle dents where i was so weak and exhausted and frustrated with lack of readily eatable food in it i would/do get mad at it.
like today, woke up ok...then i had to run to put some money into my accounmt cos i was overdrawn (i really NEEDED to be eating breakfast..missed breakfast, got sick, been exhausted all day just from missing 1 meal.

so basically yeah, i need food to be ready as quick as possible.
plus im no chef. food bores me.
:cry:

so hungry now too*
but i dunno what to eat :x :x :x :x :x

[soserious]

this guy was incredibly strong, especially pound for pound and hes heart and lungs were really in great shape too.
saw him win the WSM 1997, on the very last event tiebreaker he was head to head with someone else (magnus magnussen?) i forget- jouko slipped carrying a 200kg weight as part of the course-just a slight stumble didnt fall or anything, as soon as that happened i knew he would win.

Damn i love muscle.
but i can never seem to put on the muscle im looking for.

[wern]

we hardly ever get strongmen comps broadcast in australia, as far as I know, but I have seen a few shows. And I have seen that Magnus guy. I thuink he was danish or german or something. He seemed pretty down to earth. Those shows are awsome. We need to get more of them down here in aussie.

[OneMoreRep]

Soserious, most those guys are on more steroids the a track animal, don't even worry about it man you'll be alright...

i get bored with my food to.. i kno what you mean. i switch my diet every week.

[smooth]

Plan your meals in advance. I don't know your schedule, but mine i know what time i have to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner if i want to eat breakfast,lunch, and dinner that day! If you are at home make tunafish. Eat a sandwhich,theyll still be some left for later if you get hungry again. Eat that and then cook something for dinner while you not hungry and itll be ready when you are.

[Shane_Bos]

I wouldnt want to be that strong. Ive had lots of chats with women and most say that being THAT big isnt sexy at all. Nowadays, they like nicely built, toned men. How times change...

[soserious]

thankyou about your food ideas guys.
i didnt say i wanted to be that large (but like i give a f##k what WOMEN want pfft, my body, i only care what I want for it. )

im more interested in a good physique with lots of definition and balance and to be as strong as possible.

btw i dont eat sandwiches.
i can manage sometimes when i REALLY force myself- i eat, but i dont think it should be some dreaded chore its supposed to be nice to eat.

[Shane_Bos]

SS i wasnt really pointing that towards anyone, just saying thats all :D

[soserious]

i know bro, i wasnt pointing THAT at you either. i just get fucking sick of hearing about what women want, lets see..im not tall, im bald headed, i dont have lots of money, i dont have a huge cock, and im not pretty.. to be honest, even if i WAS all that i still i wouldnt even WANT to be close frends/gf/involved with a woman like that, so dalm conceited and arrogant.

chicks are good for having fun with. As for serious relationships... talk to someone else about that. not me definately not. http://www.geocities.com/the_general.rm/00000018.gif

[Clockers]

Women are good to date/bed with that's it, if you get married then your 'Fucked' :shock: you just don't know it yet. You think all is well then 'BAM' she fucked you so bad that you head is still spinning years after the fact..









Not all women though, don't wont anybody who's married jumping my bones. but most women today are out for your money, thats it!! :x

[Grrhick]

Hey soserious, dude what do you do for a job?? and don't worry, im short to (5'5") but im learning to be happy about it, everyones got good things about them, just don't always have the things you think are negative about you in your head.. Shit always gets better, just remember that were all lucky to live in country's where we have freedom, (I hope everyone in here does at least) :neut: and also were not seriously deformed (again i hope) and at least we have a dick!! :)

[soserious]

freedom? lol, we have freedom of a kind yes. better than a lot of countries yes, totally. his is good. but can i walk down the road with a 5ft sword and shield? no, id get arrested,, wheres my freedom ? who said i wanted to attack anyone? in a few years they want us to habve ID cards, mandatorily, wheres my freedom to say no?
blah.. i could go on like this but i wont, you get my point.

im unemployed right now but by trade im a fitness instructor (*laughs*..ironic really)
so hows life with you then Grrhick?

[Bobo]

SS, I know what You mean by not eating enough because You're depressed... been there, done that. But, as You propably know, by doing that You'll only feel worse both physically and mentally. It's a big step getting out of that circle, but believe me when I say this: no matter how bad it feels and how much effort it takes: start eating properly, man! If You don't do that, You'll never heal from Your state. Bad diet is a symptom of depression, but then again... Your depression is there partly because of bad diet and low energy levels. The first step You should do is start eating properly, or every other attempt You do towards feeling better will fail because You have no fuel.
