Any Bodybuilders Here?


Recommended Posts

Sat Sri Akal,

Does anyone do weight lifting here. If yes, please can you post your workout routine to me. I am looking for experienced weightlifters only not people who dont know what they doing themselves. I have recently started bodybuilding and want to bulk up. I am serious about bodybuilding.

thanks for your time

iwantixpackabs is a good site

it really works with those six pack abs

and u'ill also get more muscle

That site is for people *losing weight*. So, the site is not appropriate for those who want to "bulk up". However, some of the workout looks interesting.. Good to get an idea from but not to be followed to the letter.

*To original Poster: I suggest to contact mskcan (i think thats what his username is) via PM or check out his thread about bodybuilding advice etc

God Bless

Hate to sound like a fuddy duddy and I don't want to dissuade someone from doing exercise, but body-building and Sikhi do not mix. It promotes self-adulation, self-worship, and too much ego.

Weight training is good if you are preparing for other sports though, or just for general health, but the extremism involved in BODY-BUILDING is going to take you away from chardi-kalla.

Havign said that, if you want big muscles rather than healthy muscles, and want to worship your body in the mirror and want others to worship it, body buildign is the way to go.

I feel that you are way off the mark on this one, trying to disuade the two.

Firstly please read the evidence I wrote in the following thread:

http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?showtopic=35902&hl=

Perhaps for you Bodybuilding that is promoted by magazines (steroid using and show displays) is what is coming into your mind. However, it is important to realise that is not the norm.

For normal healthy people, physiotherapeutic exercise or general exercise is a must for optimum health and living.

Weight-training is a means to meet that goal.

Additionally, A LOT of youth would be much better off in the gyms than on the streets. With appropriate mentors and leaders within the community, rather than those who label them as dissidents.

If you wish to challenge me on any of the points concerned please do so with consideration I mean no offense in reply to your statement.

Regards and Gurfateh

Paji, did you actually read my post? I don't think we disagree....What I said was....

Everyone has different bodies and I used to weight train because I had always done so ever since I could lift weights and if I stopped for even a few days I felt weak. Now, I prefer aerobic and martial training because that's what makes me feel physically good and healthy. So I don't want to put off anyone doing exercise, be that weight trianing or anything else.

But in my experience, BODY BUILDING bad, weight training GOOD. :-)

Do forgive me, I didn't mean to give the impression of ignorance.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
