how to deal with weight-lifting addiction

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-11-2002, 01:47 PM

If you had to stop lifting forever due to an injury how would you guys over-come the addiction to lifting? i just cant picture myself not lifting

Scotty the Body · 03-11-2002, 01:53 PM

I would probably start long distance running again, its my second favorite passion.

**Prince** · 03-11-2002, 02:05 PM

not really sure...life would suck.

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-11-2002, 02:11 PM

but you really have to mess up big time not to be able to lift right?

Scotty the Body · 03-11-2002, 02:26 PM

I'm not a doctor but I'd say you'd probably have to loose a limb or be paralised not to be able to lift again.
Hell, ever see the bruce lee story!!

Tank316 · 03-11-2002, 02:36 PM

i never thought about this.i'm not to sure what in the he!! i'd do.its not a pleasent thought.i'd probally sit in front of my computer posting all day

NEVER LIFT AGAIN???? Don't even think about such an awful thing.
I saw an article on a competing bodybuilder not to long ago ,in FLEX I believe,and the guy only had one leg.If he can do that and there are so many wheelchair bodybuilders,I can't imagine not going to the gym anymore.
Stress would kill me because weightlifting is my release,and the foundation for alot of other activities in my life.

I would most likely do the same. This way I would still stay lean without having to diet that hard.

Did you know that Bruce Lee retaught his body how to walk, pretty freakin cool to know.

As for the not being able to lift or workout I would probably go nuts and then when I come to my sences I would look at porn all day

Scotty the Body · 03-11-2002, 05:16 PM

Yeah Maximum, thats what I mean, he overcame what would probably have been "wheelchare for life" for most people.

hurtyhair4u · 03-11-2002, 05:53 PM

I'd take a long nap

bigtom422 · 03-11-2002, 10:34 PM

I would run, that is my second choice.
scotty the body, what kind of long distance did you do?? Did you compete in 5ks or marathons or what???

Maximum · 03-11-2002, 10:44 PM

I would ride my bike, fast and far

Scotty the Body · 03-12-2002, 10:53 AM

BigTom, I've done some 5 and 10K, was thinking of doing a marathon this summer but I'm not sure if I want to slack off the weights enough to train for it. We'll see.

There are a couple Triathlons this summer I think I'll do.
How bout You????

bigtom422 · 03-12-2002, 11:05 AM

Most of my running was in high school, I ran cross and track, I was better at the long distances. I ran anything from the 400 to the 10k. I ran a 30k once, but me and two other guys split the laps up, so I only ran 12 of the 36 miles (it wasnt measured accurately cause it was measured from the air). That was my favorite race. I have never done a triatholon though, I sink like a lead brick.

Scotty the Body · 03-12-2002, 11:07 AM

Hehehehe, yeah, swimming is my down point to, I have the same "lead brick" problem.

Tank316 · 03-12-2002, 11:28 AM

after giving it more thought, come hell or high water i'd be in the gym.
