Quit shitting up this thread about an inspiring video from Matt Kroc with your goddamn personal quibbles.
This is T-Nation. Not E-nation.
Anyway, finally a video of him training bench. And what a slow negative!
He’s going to hit some huge numbers at the UPA nationals.
Shit that was cool, I wanna bleed out of my eyes!!!
Awesome lift and gush.
I get the burst vessels around the eyes when benching but not squating or pulling. I do tend to hold my breath benching.
Facko, you’re a douche bag.
damn, I thought I had it bad… When I bench, I bleed from my ass!!!

That’s cause you got the ghey.
it was a nose bleed, it just dripped into his eye while he was benching.
still hardcore though

Again…it was an offhand comment. It just had no belonging in this thread. It was meant to be a smart ass comment. I haven’t seen any response by you to me in any of those threads as far as my use goes, and my V-Diet. You just said you were “following” them…in other words lurking them. Your ignorance bleeds out all over this post.
#1 Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t bother to post stalk you to determine whether or not you’ve used AAS before. Like I said. I read several threads in Steroids and it wasn’t hard to put two and two together. Next time, I’ll tell you how much of a little bitch you are for asking how to get past a drug test in a tested PL fed after having done a cycle leading up to a meet, instead of “just lurking”.
#2 I’ve seen plenty of guys burst blood vessels while squatting and benching. It doesn’t violently shoot out. It drips, just like an ordinary bloody nose.
#3 Anyone who thinks that Pro UNTESTED Multi-ply powerlifters aren’t running a lot of shit, is either incredibly naive or retarded.
The men that are at the top of their sport are there because they bust their ass. AAS certainly makes it easier for their bodies to take the beatings that they go through, and gain more strength and mass at a faster rate than they would naturally, but I’m not stupid enough to believe that steroids make the athlete.
#4 Kroc has good genetics? Boy, you have some more research to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCGsfs0IPFE&feature=channel_page
And, an interview: “while I was a good athlete unfortunately my genetics were more suited to distance running than power lifting.”
#5 [quote]But I find that statement pretty ignorant, and fits pretty well into the norm in gyms across the country and meets: If someones REALLY big and strong, he must be juiced.[/quote]
That certainly is the norm in my gym, so I guess you got one thing right in this ridiculous post.
#6 Meh
And…I’m done hijacking
Wow. This was one of the most impressive burns I’ve seen in a while. Thank you for entertaining me Stronghold/BG.
And facko…ANYTHING you post in a forum is out there for EVERYONE to see. If you didn’t want it brought up, you should have PMed/not even posted it.
Kroc is on HRT- he also only has one testicle because of cancer.
Internet warriors can complain all they want about how it’s not impressive to them because of that and what not, but that doesn’t make him any less of a dedicated lifter or genuine guy.

He’s talking about another Matt in the room in the video you posted FYI

He starts with Tate, says “Matt’s genetics suck” while Kroc is nodding, mentions Spud, himself, then moves on to talk about Rhodes. I wasn’t talking about his Rhodes tangent.

It’s probably petichial hemorrhaging. Do you get it mostly around your eyes? I do.
On my forehead every leg day. If I really push for reps I get it on my cheeks as well. For a while I was training shoulders with back and I thought I might get it from that stupidity… but just legs.
You might wanna try breathing![/quote]
I used to get it on near max squat attempts, try breathing while doing a 1,2 or 3RM while your actually lifting!
BTW I think its ‘petechial’ if anyone wants to google it.
We used to call it ‘squat rash’ usually on the face / white of eyes but sometimes on the chest too. (It cant be doing you any good)

I think its a safe assumption that if nosebleeds make you squeamish, then needles may cause similar issues for you.[/quote]
Doesn’t seem to be a ‘safe assumption’ to me.

Yeah, they say their genetics are bad, so that must mean it’s true.

Questions, Mr. Expert?[/quote]
I never claimed I was an expert. But, why do you keep responding to my questions/points to buckeye? That question was not directed to you. But it seems you have some sort of vendetta against me on this forum. I think I know why. But if you want to bring that issue up…pm me.
And Buckeye…the original statement you made was a smart ass one. From the get go when you read that it bothered me, had we no problems before…it would have been the fair thing to do, to just say my bad it was a joke chill out. And I would have apologized to you as well for over-reacting.
When I make joke/smartass comments to people who I don’t know too well, and it bothers them, I apologize and stop. If you also have a problem with me then PM me…I’d like to resolve it, because I don’t have a problem with you.
That goes for anyone else on this board…

Not to hijack, but did I read somewhere that you train at North Ga Barbell?[/quote]
I sure do- great little club.

I might ride out there and check it out sometime…not terribly far from me if I remember correctly.

The question is, did you tape it up and attempt a 3rd DL?[/quote]
Is a frog’s ass watertight? Yeah- tried it and missed it.
