What’s happening to true art of body building? I see people training with broomsticks, jumping, running a lap, doing some awkward pull-up, throwing balls to each other. It really saddens me. Is it because people don’t want to face the weights and hard work, or is bodybuilding is disappearing, or is it me who thinks this way, Dave? I always thought gyms are for people who like to sculpture bodies and train hard.
Train with common sense and intuition and mostly your heart. Have fun, work hard, stay alert and learn, if anything sensible comes your way.
There is so much trendy stuff out there (gadgets and gizmos and money to be made) that today’s fitness-heads are often confused and mimicking and pointless.
You’re a weight lifter, an ironhead, in pursuit of muscle and might, and anything trick and trendy is foreign and unappealing. Some of what the fitness crew do is worthwhile, if you’re seeking a fit, pain-free and healthy body functioning forever.
There goes heavy pushing and pulling, pass me the Exerball.
The general exercise population pursues balance, mobility, tone and strength and endurance. Can’t knock that. Of course, there are too few of them, and fewer persevere. Fewer still seek muscle and might and they don’t last much longer.
In the mags are the super-duper enhanced competitors — wow — and then there’s us blasting it in the corner and scratching our heads… and we’ve been there a long, long time.
Life changes day to day, muscleheads are forever.
Nose to the iron, we press on… DD… Godspeed
