Dude, I'm sorry I don't take lifting as seriously as you. I didn't know that made me a dumbass. I don't care what I look like. I don't care to compete. I don't care to spend money on supplements. I don't care to eat meat for a better muscle-building diet. I don't care to sift through hundreds of...

Lol I'm going to feel like a douchebag having a pic taken while doing a set, but I will see what I can do. I am vegetarian, and my protein intake is far less than any other heavy lifter I know. I do very high intensity sets, but wait up to 5 minutes between them, and do each muscle group often...

It really should depend on the intensity if your workouts. If you go to failure and beyond a lot in your sets, once a week is plenty. If your workouts are less intense, you should be fine doing each group more frequently. I do each group about once a week or so, but I mainly go by feel rather...

You would like pics of what exactly? Me doing the 145's? I mean, of course some muscle mass is built up when anyone gains strength, but there are ways to structure your diet and training so that the mass gain is minimal.. Note: I'm 5'7", and weigh 185 lbs. Edit: And, apparently, I'm not...

Over half of the dumbells at my gym are significantly bent from people not even trying to let them down slowly..

I train for strength without mass, it's not that surprising.. I'm just saying if I can not drop dumbells with that kind of ratio 99.9% of people should be able to as well. Edit: Ok, I did it in my head and was wrong. sorry. 145/185 = 78%, which is just shy of 80%. Wasn't intended to be a lie.

I go to failure, often failure +1 when I have a spot, on the last set of every exercise, and never need to drop a dumbell. I use dumbells that are over 80% of my bodyweight each, for reps (certain exercises). Who is the pecker head now? Edit: Well, I don't consider a mostly controlled <1 foot...

I just registered, and I have never posted in a forum like this before. I have a question if anyone would mind answering.. I get a lot of crap about this from a select few at my gym, so I want to see how unusual what I do is. First of all, I weigh between 185 and 190 lbs. I use 145 or 140 lb...
