So my friend always sits at home and plays World of Warcraft. After much pleading I got him to come work out with me. We had a good bicep workout and he said it was ok and he would do it again. So the next day (yesterday) I call him up and ask if he's ready to go work out again. He asked me what we would be working and I told him legs. His response was "Legs? Why would you work those out? I just want to do arms and chest and abs. Thats all anyone sees anyway."

I tried explaining proportion and that you need to work out all muscle to have a good solid body and how only beach deusches do the jail house workout.

He just didn't get it.

It upsets me.

all you can do is state your point, what he does from that point on is up entirely to him.

Well said bro. Learning about proportion and what not is something that needs to be learned over time IMO not preached to him. Let him come for a month or so and he'll understand. Had a friend just like you bro.

it just upsets me

like....WHY would someone ONLY want bi chest and abs.

KM · 01-27-2008, 01:19 AM

Because it's what most people brag or talk about.

Common Questions-
How much do you bench?- Chest
Yo bro Flex- Everyone flex's their Bicep.
Girls like abs, so he probably wants them too.

Being uneducational about the sport, looking at the human body directly from the front, the Chest abs and Biceps are the most desirable.

lol thank you km...it was more of a rhetorical question tho.

KM · 01-27-2008, 01:42 AM

I know bro. Just saying what people in my school have actually told me and from experience.

If you're friends uneducated about bodybuilding then it's up to you to educate him.

You shouldnt be to botherd, you have to let people learn from their mistakes, he will come around eventually and when he does you will be miles ahead of him. Hell even larry scott started by only working his arms and look what happened to him when he came around.
