Thread: What's Important to You?

Sounds like you are pretty new to the game.
That's kinda a hard question to answer as we don't know your goals, age, or what you look like now.

If you are just starting then just stick with protein powder until you get more into it and can decide what you are after. And if you are trying to bulk, eat meat, as much as you can.

my 3 primary concerns are:

Is my body getting sufficient nutrtion?

Is my workout routine stimulating the muscles to grow and allowing enough time for recovery and GROWTH

How healthy am I and are my Bodybuilding ways helping me with everyday life or hurting it?

......oh ya, my main concerns;

Am I in the state of mind to have the best workout possible, or do I need some supps (stacker 2) to bring me up before I go.

Am I getting enough protein to grow

Did I remember to put beer in the fridge?

LOL!

Now those are some good answers.. thanks guys.. that does help.

*even the beer part*

If there was 1 thing i could change over the last 2 yrs of my working out it would be to stay consistant with my diet, i rekon it effects 60-70% of what you do. and thats being nice....
I only ever put on when i ate CONSISTANTLY right

Not suprising that you like the meat, I had heard that about you!

my main concerns:

Am I eating right?

Am I training right?

Why are my pants so tight?

Those are the very words that are often repeated although not neccessary. Why? Because you look great!

For those of you working towards your fitness goals, what are your 3 primary areas of concern?

For me it depends on what my short term goal is at the time.

Right now I am dieting for a show, so my main area of concern is getting leaner, which is achieved primarily thru a very disciplined diet that is making me insane!

If I am "bulking" my main goal is am I getting bigger and gaining weight/size, again achieved thru proper diet/nutrition.

Another area of concern that is always on my mind is staying injury free, which besomes more of a challenge as you get older. Also, not going into a state of over-training, which many bodybuilders often do. You almost have to walk a fine line to not over-train and not under-train.

Lastly, my supplements, I take a shit load of them. 3-4 times per day I am swallowing numerous pills.

for you your main concern should be;
Am I getting my lazy ass over to IM enough to bullshit with everybody?

And NO you aren't!

......but, hi buddy How's it going Jay?

Main concerns:

1: Am I getting enough protein each and EVERY day?

2: Am I using good enough form in my workouts to ensure I'm stimulating the muscles?

3: Why is Irontime staring at my ass?

It's the ripples in the flab, they are so hypnotizing I can't look away.



Hiya pops good to see that you popped in, how's retired life?

Retired life? What's that??? I'm working harder now than I ever did as a G-man. The good part is that I'm getting paid to talk shit for a living. Think I'll be any good at it?

I think you've found you're calling, you should be a millionaire by next year, easily

LOL, it's going good my friend, and yes I realize I have been neglectful...whatcha been up to?

My main concerns are:

Does my hair look okay?

Is that hottie on the treadmill noticing the sock i put in my spandex training shorts?

and lastly but certainly not leastly (<---?) is that sock falling out of my training shorts and is that why the hottie on the treadmill is laughing?

Nice answers buddy, that's why I tie the sock to a string so it won't fall of..............I mean...........I don't have that problem

As for what I'm up to, not a whole hell of a lot. Works slow, school sucks and the girlfriend doesn't you?
