Have you ever been into a fight?

[naturaltan]

Hmmm, well, being trained in the martial arts for about 7 years certainly helped, but I think that # 1 is that when I have been put in the position where I HAD to fight,

You HAD to fight ... what were the circumstances?

 

[Yunier]

...I do however encourge fighting for my entertainment purposes.

 

[gopro]

No sarcasm in my post. You got big off your program, with your added size and strength over the years you have been turned into an ass beater.

Oh please don't call me that as I am NOT proud of any of my fights, and like I said, I hope I never have to get into a physical altercation again.

I know you were not being sarcastic, but I DID think you were making a joke, which was actually very funny...as if p/rr/s can not only make you big, but also a great fighter.

But anyway, I have only been doing p/rr/s for about 5 years and all of my fights were before that time.

Without going into detail, lets just say that they threw the first punch, so to speak, in each circumstance.

Ok ...

Being a martial artist myself, I've never had to fight. I've been amd enough to want to, but knowing that I had promised myself that the next fight would be a life and death situation, I've always walked away. I guess my personal pet peeve is the bar type fighter. Someone looks at his g/f the wrong way, spills a drink on them, or whatever, and suddenly they are in a rage and think they need to fight in order to solve the problem. It's quite comical to watch these fights evolve. First it's name calling, then they move on to shoving, then the one sucker punches the other and off they go. If they could only see how stupid the whole situation looked ...

The last time I was almost provoked, was when the wife and I were going to the bar and we were in the cab. She had flashed these two guys. Now, maybe it was wrong, but it was supposed to be funny. Well, they got upset at it. So the next set of lights that we stopped at, they opened the cab door and spat at me. Now, I have two options:
A) - get out and be prepared to either get my ass kicked or do the ass kicking and wait for the police to take me to jail (because I am really mad and that is how it would end for at least one of them.
B) - be cool because you don't know what one might do to my wife if I get into it with one of the guys.

I choose B and wished and prayed that they were going to the same bar we were going to. Why? Because I would then have friends there who could watch out for my wife. I was very concerned for her because I was ready to go at it big time.

I got into a major fight once. It lasted for almost half an hour. It was a brutal, take-no-prison fight. Nothing was held back. I was pretty messed up by the end, but I was the last man standing. She was standing too, but, dammit!, I was the last man standing!

You got yourselves into that situation in the first place because your wife flashed them (if i'm reading this correctly). However, you did the right thing because you thought about the consequences before your action. Too many guys dont think before they do something stupid.

You are correct on both accounts. We did bring it on ourselves and I did make a choice that many others might not have made by remaining in the cab. I have been called a coward for making the choice I did. But when I look back at it, I think I made the right choice.

OOOh....I thought when you said flashed, you meant, she flashed her titties at them

I was like WTF, what kinda guy gets mad over that!
But then i realized you meant she flashed the headlights? ok ok...phew

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

Anyway...the closest I have come to fighting in the past couple of years, was last year when I was a sophmore ( in highschool... )

A few guys were playing basketball, and it was the seniors vs. the sophmores

Well this pot head was playing with us ( this is a bad guy...smokes and sells marijuana, and has knifed a guy once... )

So some senior scores a basket, and i go back to get the ball, I check it to him
and instead of him passing to me, he rolls it on the ground to me

So i jog over to snatch it up real quick, and he runs up and kicks the ball as hard as he can into my mouth...

I had braces at the time...which saved me from losing any teeth, but my lip got stuck on the metal, so i had to literally pry my lip off it, and it took a large chunk of skin with it, i was bleeding pretty bad...

No one had ever done that to me...So i thought, should i kick his face in??
Or walk away...
Well i thought back, and I realized that if i fought him, I would go to alternative school
and i would lose all my credits for the year, and have to graduate one year later than normal...So i walked it off and later he apologized...

I still kinda wish i would have done something, it would have been awesome i think...
Him being the "psycho kid"

but oh well...it worked out better for my future or soemthing like that

 

[shiznit2169]

mycatroidrage, why would he randomly do that? What was he thinking at the time? I would have been PISSED and punched him

I guess he was trying to kick it away from me...

I wasnt really pissed, just kinda suprised...I guess that's why i was able to think about the consequences of fighting him

If i could do it over again, I would fight him as long as i wouldnt get into trouble...but at my school you get in trouble for the smallest things

GoPro -- What style of training did you use before you created your program?

Pretty much low volume, high intensity training...90% of the time using weights that allowed me 3-7 reps or so. I used alot of forced reps and negatives, but not much in the way of supersets, dropsets, or other techniques. Basically I trained hard and heavy to failure all the time.

 

[soxmuscle]

Similar to me, interesting.

No my young friend ... she flashed them her titties ... and yes, you your amazement, and mine, they took offense to this. This little incident should be on Ripley's Believe it or not. I'd say I didn't believe it if I wasn't there witnessing it.

Hmmm, taking offense at a girl flashing her breasts

This is behavior that I encourage!!! Especially if the girl is hot and is a C cup or better! In fact, after witnessing an act such as this, the LAST thing I'd be thinking about is fighting!

You and 99.345% of the males wouldn't take offense, but these two did.

I too encourage this behaviour. The missus has been able to get the "Girls Gone Wild" type thing going in bars. It's really quite fun.

After the missus hit 140 last year, she wore baggy unflattering clothes. Now, she's back down to her party weight of 122lb. To show my appreciation for her hard work, I went out and bought her the tiniest skirt and with a great corsett. Needless to say, this past weekend she was in fine form once again. It's good to have my party girl back.

Next stop, San Francisco and the Exotic Erotic Ball in October ... San Fran, batten down the hatches, Mrs. NT is on her way.

A few months ago I stepped out onto the front steps of the building that I work in to make a phone call on my cell. As I was talking on the phone this car pulls up with four very hot looking girls who looked to be from 18 to 23 years old. Three of the girls exited the car. Two of the girls were leaving and the third way saying her goodbyes. Then, as the two girls started to walk away, the third girl (about 18 years old) looks up at me and whipped up her shirt showing me her very full and nearly gravity-defying breasts. Then she smiled, got into the car, and drove away.

Screw body fat percentages.
Screw arm, waist, and chest measurements.
Screw max lifting weights.

A very hot, very young, nubile girl flashed me.

Yep, I think my bodybuilding is coming along just fine...

... at least it's you being flashed. When I'm out with the missus, it's her getting flashed.

I would take offense, you don't just flash breasts you have to shake'em around a little, need some jigglin action know what I mean.

 

[lil2fiddyguy]

I have never been in a fight. However I am very interested in how i would do in one lmao. I feel like ide do good but im not sure. Whats funny is when im at school i look at ppl and think whether or not i could kick their ass. I kno looks dont determine if someone can kick ass but yea its fun pretending. Lol. I havent grappled or anythin in a looong time. I have been in karate for like 11 yrs or something but its not a lot of sparring or jujitsu. Im sure the sensei would do more of that if more ppl showed up for those classes tho.And yeah UFC and PRIDE are awesome.
Anyone see that show on spike the Ultimate Fighter? I wanted Leben to do good but he got unlucky in his second fight with a cut and was booted.

I thought that would be more a strength related training, wouldnt it?

 

[gopro]

I thought that would be more a strength related training, wouldnt it?

I discovered early on that I respond best to lower rep training. I should also add that I often used forced reps and/or negatives to extend my sets, which effectively increases time under tension.

As time went on, I learned the need to begin to incorporate longer sets and more techniques in order to continue growing...hence the evolution of P/RR/S training.
