Because they Lift to be healthy not to die of a massive heart attack around 40 (or sooner) brought on by steroid use, do some research mortality rate of steroid users is 100%, not many make it to 50.

And that's after your testicles shrink and stop your natural testosterone production with a very high chance of causing permanent damage to your hardware, with a very good chance of no kids in the future.

Natural lifting, adds to your health, delays that heart attack you might have had at some stage and increases testosterone levels.

You still wondering why people lift naturally??

I'm 2mtrs tall, 100kg, shaved head and bearded. Makes it a bit hard to rank my socially unpopular passtimes as conversations with people I don't know rarely get far enough to be judged.
I have had one person yelling abuse (or so it looked from my rearview mirror) at me from his car, next set of lights he gets out of his car and starts storming towards my window, I stepped out and faced him, he stopped in his tracks and said "sorry, I thought you were someone else" then returned to his car. So maybe driving my v8 ute and making a bit of noise in it is one of these passtimes that people tend to look down on, but would need to ask others to confirm.

imagine if ronnie coleman and arnold schwartzenegger had a punch up.. neither one would hurt the other because their own biceps would knock them out before they could land a punch...

No I suspect that you would find the concept of shooting at cyclists to be not all that unpopular with some people

Are you ready, stand by......pedal.......

I'm in the Defence Force, a motorcyclist, a Ford enthusiast and love America - their freedom, patriotism, cars and culture. Oh I'm also a pub dinner drinking beer with mates watching footy while having a cigarette and a slap on the pokies enthusiast.

Inncer-City Green Voting Sydney is hell...

Another cyclist here, also love watching travel shows, and taking pictures of my favorite food.

dylby1 · 26-07-2012, 03:52 PM

Car Audio.

I can't count the number of times I've been talking to someone (not necessarily older, but normally) about what I do with my spare time and have recieved a reply along the lines of "oh you're one of those idiots who just goes up and down the street with your 'doof doof' music going to annoy everybody else"
That's not helped by the fact I'm a P plater, but it's also not what I do. The system I'm currently building is gunna be a competition level Sound Quality system. Not a "doof doof" system.
It ****** me off haha

I hate jungle bunny music.. its great because it can go loud and remain clear..fun to dance too etc but its as fake and artistically barren.. I want clarity when I have a cd by slipnot,sabbath,Fear Factory,Black Label Society etc.. but I also want to hear all the fret buzz and ambience of slava gregorian at the same level..alot .. hopefully that is something that your trying to achieve building your SOUND QUALITY system..music is about vocal and instrument artistry.. not just noise and vibration.

That's exactly what I'm aiming for. I listen to a lot of heavier music. Stuff with REAL instruments, not computerized noises.

I wanna hear it as it was recorded, I don't wanna be shaking shop windows as I drive past and not be able to hear anything but bass over powering the rest of the system.

Gov'ner Arnie Schartzenegger is doing alright... and he freely admits to steroid ABUSE... not just use.. remember these things are used for growth under the trained eye of a physician.. so if you follow thier basic guidlines and dont abuse the drug itself.. its probably not as bad as we are led to believe.
like any drug really.. but no one asks for an addiction..

depends on the theme of the evening surely my gxl hehe

Guitar. It would probably be OK if I didn't have a VoxAC30 and a gibson SG... who could not turn it up? I'm restrained most of the time, but there are times on a weekend when it's hard not to just crank it.

No neighbours here ^_^
I've got a Marshall stack and a few guitars, the favorite being my Epiphone Custom Shop built "special II"

blueoval · 27-07-2012, 11:30 AM

Is farting in a public place socially unpopular?

Kable72 · 27-07-2012, 11:34 AM

I'm restrained with my Guitar as well. Still living at home and neighbours are pretty close so it's always quiet. Can't play it loud cos I got yelled at from over the fence on both sides so I just get the ***** and stop playing.

I would say yes, but is it counted as a pastime?

Well, unless you eat beans and then go out leaving elevator bombs...

Kable72 · 27-07-2012, 04:36 PM

Lol, since I got my new guitar I can hardly pinch any more. The joys of going from a standard bridge to a floyd. Can't grind the **** outta the strings. Gotta play with a bit more finesse.

Was that you I heard Tuesday night? FGS, turn it down a tad. Its supposed to be quiet in Canberra but its noisey as since Julia got back from another o'seas trip, I think she got a new set of drum pads for her BFF 'Tbag' whoever. Bloody bogan neighbours.
