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.

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...)
