As per topic. I'll edit this post to summarize the thread. Please share your knowledge!

I'll start..

Facts:
- Taking whey protein doesnt mean you'll grow. Not taking whey protein doesnt mean you'll not grow.
- No pain no gain
- Lift Heavy!
- Eat More, my girlfriend eats more than you
- Focus On Compound Exercises.
- Make sure u sleep enough, bodybuilding = recovery = bodybuilding
- Muscles are built outside the gym

Advises:
- The best activities for your health are pumping and humping
- Consistency and Variations are 2 contradictions that you must practice in training
- Don't post an e-stat on forums and expect people to believe you without proof of video/pics. Grow up.
- Same like girls, we don't have good day everyday (LOL)
- Pick up after yourself at the gym, wipe the bench, rerack DB's, keep away weights once you're done with them.
- Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going. stick to your routines!

General quotes on weightlifting and life:
- try and you may not fail, dont try you already fail
- If the only tool at your disposal is a hammer, treat everything like a nail
- With muscles, as with everything else, in union there is strength
- if you fail to plan, you plan to fail
- Impatiently rushing produces no result
- If you can't make it good, at least made it look good
- Iron never lies to you
- Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
- If you THINK you are tired, you are NOT. You KNOW when you are really tired.
- In the gym, the only person you need to beat is yourself.
- Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder but nobody wants to lift no heavy ass weights

No pain no gain, but before you pain, make sure you rest and recover well? =p

Bullshit might bring u to the top, but it will not make u stay there.

try and you may not fail, dont try you already fail


if you fail to plan, you plan to fail

Consistency and Variations are 2 contradictions that you must practice in training.

Quoting darklight "My girlfriend eats more than you"

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - Robert Heinlein

"If you can't make it good, at least made it look good."-Bill Gates.

"Iron never lies to you..."- Henry Rollins.

"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen."- Michael Jordan.

Some got nothing to do with BB, but if you relate them to BB, they meant everything.

In the gym, the only person you need to beat is yourself.

"aint nothing but a peanut" - Ronnie Coleman

"Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder but nobody wants to lift no heavy ass weights" - Ronnie Coleman

How true is this?

True in the sense that bodybuilders care more for aesthetics than strength/function and vice versa for powerlifters. But to put bodybuilders in the 'weak' category is wrong, IMO. Take a look at darklight, he's lifting light weight all the time, 300-odd lbs light.

yup, when competing, they are at their weakest... anything can go wrong when you at your weakest state... (i mean competing)

i think wat they mean is they are much weaker wompare to their appearance....
but if we compare to normal ppl
they are still much stronger

I'm a newbie in weightlifting but someone once told me:

If you THINK you are tired, you are NOT. You KNOW when you are really tired.

when im tired, im really tired...

good for you. somehow i think i lack the mental strength to continue lifting when fatigue steps in. the fear of injuring myself limits my effort especially during the last few sets.

LOL!

This has bcome a quote thread.
I tot it was meant for bb tips or something...

LOL. What to do? BB got only one tip, that's what Darklight had covered in a simple equation.

thats one of the quotes that stuck. made real good sense. stopped me from going to the gym when i know im gonna have a bad workout. also made me wrap my schedule around my gym time so when i reach the gym im at least well rested, and well fed..

True. Same like girls, we don't have good day everyday.Lolx.

k guys, we've gathered quite a bit of quotes already, so try to minimize on those. whats lacking are real life experience and advice that you practice at YOUR gym that you think would be beneficial for others to follow.

Leave your ego at the door and Lift with your head.

One day a newbie is going to see this and I'll be treated to the sight of someone trying to balance a DB on their forehead.

Real life experiences?

Prepare and deal with injuries.Don't back off when you face injuries, take some time to recover and go all out again.

(p/s: I've gained 3kgs since back injured and stop majority of workouts for almost a month. Mostly fats though.But glad enough that I still have the same waistline, arm measurement.But my legs' muscles are losing their definition.(Quads may get back into one piece all over again)ZZZ...)
