The Downside To Being Big and Strong!!!

**MuscleScience** · 02-07-2009, 03:47 PM

Now everyone asked me to help them move all the damn time.

**DSM4Life** · 02-07-2009, 03:48 PM

Or asked to keep opening the jar of peanut butter.

**Brown Ninja** · 02-07-2009, 03:57 PM

Just fake a back injury

**amcon** · 02-07-2009, 03:59 PM

yep - i dont help people move - if i do i always hurt my back~!!!!!

**Brown Ninja** · 02-07-2009, 04:02 PM

i just charge them a lot

**Matt** · 02-07-2009, 04:15 PM

They always stand behind me when things turn violent..

**Hoggage_54** · 02-07-2009, 04:21 PM

It's worse if you have a pickup truck as well

**No One Knows** · 02-07-2009, 04:34 PM

This was my hustle in college. You don't need much equipment, just another decently strong friend, 2 and 4 wheel dollies, straps, rope, etc. Had the customers rent and drive the truck, we did everything else. It was pretty hard work but the right equipment makes stuff so much easier.

Some days I'd make upwards of 800 bucks..

**higherdesire** · 02-07-2009, 05:15 PM

Man if anyone asks me to help them move I just tell them the name of the moving company I use and tell them it's cheaper than they think. I don't even move myself much less someone else!

Same here and I aint even that ****ing big.

**IronReload04** · 02-07-2009, 05:26 PM

biggest downside I'd say is if you ever slip off the edge of a tall building or cliff, and you need somone to help pull you up cuz you cant get a good grip, your screwed.

god forbid you ever get in a car wreck, its gonna be a little harder to get you out of there.

if your ever stranded in the middle of the ocean, you might not float very well.

**BgMc31** · 02-07-2009, 05:39 PM

I always like to think everyone on here is atleast as big as arnold in his prime. The guys that give me advice, big as coleman. lol

There are counties surrounding Vegas where prostitution is legal. But the county that Vegas is located in, it's illegal, but still very very common. The nearest legal brotha from vegas is about 30-45 min outside of vegas.

haha thats what I'd like to think to, but you might have some guy giving you diet and lifting advice who is 150lbs soaking wet lol.

**jimmyinkedup** · 02-07-2009, 06:36 PM

^^^ could be true - but ive learned a ton from reading pat arnold & dan duchaine ...and neither one of those guys is/was by any means huge... size doesnt = knowledge.... you can learn from anyone. bgmc31 - im sure you can attest ..trainers in pro sports are by no means in the condition (in most cases) of the athletes they train - but they know how to get them there. Its the message - not the messenger....

Okay that could be true, But it is more easy for me to listen to someone if they pratice what they preach, kind of like the disscusion we had about the nutritionist on that show with the mermaid girl, who was giving her advice and she weighed about 240lbs herself.

I tend to agree to, Even though it takes much time and schooling to get good at being a strength coach. One should still find time to keep in shape and try ones own workouts. That is why I try to keep in shape myself partly. It is hard to tell some guy how to train and get stronger if you yourself are a 170lbs weakling or a 300lbs blob.

^^^ to each his own ..i understand the thinking i do. I try to keep an open mind. Some of the greatest steroid minds ever were not huge individuals and they educated an entire bodybuilding world on aas use. Knowledge can be obtained from anyone on any given topic. Take what you want from what they have to say and disregard the rest. YTour own personal experince will be you best teacher - at least for me it is. However - i try to learn whenever and from whomever i can.

huh sounds funny coming from a science guy - esp considering how many people in those fields will recommend and push things they have never experienced or tried first hand. Just ironic. I however, do understand the thought process as i said.
Oh and some first hand experience ...ive only worked with 2 trainers in my life...a female (in great shape) and a man. Bob was 340 lbs and about 30 % bodyfat - the man got me in the best condition of my life ...and even though i have a personal training certification and years ago worked as a trainer - he taught me so much it was insane. Again he was responsible for my training regimen when i got in the best shape of my life. So maybe im biased. Btw he now resides in San Diego (carlsbad actually) and trains 2 pro football players and several college players among many other clients. You just never know....

I will say from personal experience after a day of training and being in the gym all day long the last thing I wanted to do was workout. At first I loved it but after awhile the same shit day in and day out it gets old. The worst thing for me was training an athlete that had all the talent in the world but was lazier than hell. I wish I had the talent that some of the guys I trained, coupled with my work ethic. Of course by talent I mean the talent to stay healthy....

yeah but the increased water retention will act as ballast making you less likely to get sea-sick.

hahah, but what if you were on an a transatlantic flight on the way to a contest so you're at 3% and on diuretics... better find the first fatty you see and grab on hard

**JDawg1536** · 02-07-2009, 08:34 PM

I hate being so big. Vivid video won't stop calling me trying to get me to work for them. Its soooooo annoying.

**Dinosaur** · 02-07-2009, 11:03 PM

i wish i was as big as you guys, certainly there is soimething wrong in here.

***RAGE*** · 02-08-2009, 12:55 AM

DSM asking me out all the time...if I was weak and little he would leave me alone...

**WOLFCRAFT** · 02-08-2009, 06:13 AM

I've been told my muscles aren't very useful and are just for show and it's kind of true... I suck at moving things or picking things up or anything like that. Don't know what that's about.

Charles Glass, Dave Palumbo, and Brian Dobson are prime examples... Don't get me wrong they look good, and at one point or another they looked great. But i swear i think if any pro gets stuck in a rut at a point in there career they call one of those 3 men

**Flagg** · 02-08-2009, 06:29 AM

Unscrewing the lids on jars and uncorking wine for friends and family seems to be a task only for bodybuilders.

**Iceman69** · 02-08-2009, 07:11 AM

Random old men keep walking up to me in restaurants/bars and asking me if I am an NFL player.......That gets annoying.

Oh....and or people keep asking me to arm wrestle....and that's....extremely annoying.
