    oh come on BRO we all want respect from others. I get wanting to do it for yourself, that is my goal as well but who doesnt appreciate the looks?
    Respect is earned!!!!
    I train for myself.. I respect people for who they are not on there size.
    I met Ronnie Coleman and he was the nicest guy.
    I met Jay Cutler and he was an *kitten*..
    Both Professional Champs..Both huge... You dont get respect because of your size.

    Jay Cutler is an asskitten :D

    Ronnie Coleman is perhaps the most 'sane' out of them if you didn't include the ridiculous amount of kids from different women but that's his personal life and at least he was a nice guy. I met him on a flight going out from the UK and got him to sign my Embassy No 1 pack. Quite a nice guy. He paid his dues :)

    Yeaaaaaaaaaa budddy..... Light weight baby. . . . . . Ain't nothing but a peanut. WOOOH

    At this point in my life, size isn't a goal. In fact, I want to drop weight because when you get my age and carry around more weight than you need to (even if it is muscle), your joints don't care as much. I've met a few bodybuilders who were competitive who are in their 60's and older and they all say the same thing...........they wished they were kinder on their joints so they don't have to deal with chronic pain now.
    I'm not at that stage yet, but I surely don't want to be. So if I got down to about 170lbs, I know I'd feel better for my future. But that's just me. When I was in my 20's, I wanted to be as big as I could and was willing to juice to do it. But I was broke during that time and that never happened.

    Sort of this is something I think about. A little different being female and the risks of getting "too big" are obviously not anything to worry about. BUT at 35 I am feeling the effects of being a gymnast and dancer, my body is pretty beat up and the more I lose and the more I train (and I don't lift heavy as it's commonly understood) the more those issues become apparent. If I trained hard and intense I might be in for a horrible time when I'm elderly!

    But it mostly just means I'm careful about form and building training appropriately.

    So a bit off topic.

    In the spirit of the thread, I wanna get so big men pay me to crush them and pick them up.

    Eat big, eat lean and lift heavy and after years and years of hard work and dedication you sculpt the perfect body, however is it ever done being sculpted? Watch some of the classic "Arnold" workouts. He's at the gym almost 24/7. No job, just lifting to compete. I wish I had that kind of time.

    But I've also met guys into their late 60's still kicking @ss power lifting with no problems. You should be taking care of your joints at all ages. I've also seen 20 somethings with spinal degeneration and stenosis. I'm 50, I lift heavy, I take care of my joints. Power lifting is worse on joints in my opinion than body building, it's all about the max lift rather than the pump.
