Hi and I am pathetic

SkaSauce · 02-24-2007, 12:07 PM

Hi, umm all of you are probably benching like 300 pounds and stuff, while i'm lifting 10 pounds on each arm. and struggling sorta to do so! i saw a video of arnold schwarzenegger, and i thought to myself "man i bet when he's walking around town no one messes with him!" well i'm going to be honest, in groups i don't get messed with walking around on the streets. yet when i'm walking by myself, sometimes there will be like 6 black guys or 6 mexican guys who just mess around with me and like try to take my stuff. now if there were 2 of them i'd fight them but 6, that's just suicide. so i don't know...i want some muscle sorta, not like a gigantic amount but enough to keep them off me. i'm pretty small, about 5'3" and light about 115 LBS. i swear i'm dedicated and if someone could help me they wouldn't be wasting their time. I just turned 16 last month also.

getting muscle takes time...getting enough muscle to make a difference in that sorta situation will takes a long time.if you really wana make an impression to them sorta guys you should mix bodybuilding with martial arts or boxing.by that i mean lift weights and practise a fighting style as a form of cardio

well in the start of the year they put me in weight training with all the guys in school, bu then i made them switch me out into arobics with all the girls. hahaha, now i love that class because the girls are cool but i kinda regret it. i wanna lift weights. i have no clue where to learn boxing, i need to find a gym

+1 to the martial arts.

Muscle will make you stronger, yes, but will only make you LOOK like you can kick ass...

..where as martial arts will actualy teach to you kick ass...

If your goal here is not to get your ass kicked as soon as possible, martial arts will teach to to defend yourself WHEN someone fcucks with you....

...building muscle will make the appearance of strength and toughness so that you don't get fcuked with in the first place.

i'm guessing you're a skinny guy (just a hunch) so for you to build the amount of muscle and mass that would look intimidating while fully clothed could take years....

whereas learning how to defend yourself, i think, would take considerably less time.

just experiment...teach yourself,be self disciplined.you dont need a gym to be able to box

SkaSauce · 02-24-2007, 12:26 PM

warzone, yeah i'm a pretty skinny guy. although my legs have muscle. my left leg though has twice as much muscle from skating though. martial arts is great and i wanna take it but if i had muscle then there wouldn't even be a fight because people with muscle don't even get messed with where i live. also i've been hit by scrawny guys and guys with muscle, and i have to say, the guys with the muscle hurt a lot more. so a combination would kick ass. i need to enroll into boxing and weight lifting somehow

**kenney** · 02-24-2007, 12:32 PM

dude, if you are getting targeted by groups of 6+...you are gonna need more than muscle and more than just boxing lol i would strongly suggest martial arts ie karate,kung fu,ju jitsu etc a martial arts fighter would wipe the floor with a bber lol

SkaSauce · 02-24-2007, 12:35 PM

boxing sounds the most basic though, and i think if i somehow knock two of them to the floor hopefully others will run away if i start yelling like a gorilla! XD hehhe. lift weights and learn boxing, once i get alright at boxing i'll start perhaps uhh tae kwan do or something

**kenney** · 02-24-2007, 12:38 PM

lol if you wana make an impression you shouldnt go for the simplest.boxing is ok for 1 on 1 or 1 on 2...you should go straight into martial arts...believe me

SkaSauce · 02-24-2007, 12:40 PM

yeah you do got a point, but maybe if i whoop somebody's ass really bad the word will spread and i won't get messed with. =) but yeah i'm going to start off with boxing though then jump straight to tae kwan do. i hope to stop getting my ass kicked by 11th grade

**kenney** · 02-24-2007, 12:42 PM

lol the world doesn't work like that...if you kicked one of those guys ass'... the others would probably jump on you.for your own sake dont go giving it the big un after one or two boxing sessions

SkaSauce · 02-24-2007, 12:49 PM

well the word does travel because i hear always "aww you see that boy, that boy got haaaands boyyyyy" "man that guy's a chump he can't fight for shit, beat his ass" and stuff like that. after 10 or 15 boxing lessons from my friend i'm going to just find one of the guys and just try to beat them up
