Who the hell makes fun of William Shatner?!?
I believe he even said a few years ago that he was over 70 now, so to hell with watching his gut. If you see him talking and acting and whatnot he seems much younger and energetic.[/quote]
Dude sells hotel rooms like crack rocks.
I didn’t start this thread to make fun of William Shatner, I made it to prove a point, previously articulated on the bodybuilding forum, that everybody gains mass when they age. The irony of pointing out that William Shatner looks like he is on a “bulking phase” is that he doesn’t do any type of weight training at all, to my knowledge. He gained mass nearly automatically as he aged, just as the vast majority of the population does. That’s the inside joke to this thread. See, I was mocking T-Nation for its perpetual obsession with bulking and the ridiculous claim made by some on this board that if young people don’t start shoving crap down their throats at 18, they’re going to remain skinny for the rest of their lives. That’s probably the biggest crock of BS ever written, so it deserves to be mocked at every turn.

Obviously I can’t speak on your experience. But I have never seen it recommended to eat full blown junk food, or “crap”. Sure bulking is recommended if you don’t wish to remain skinny. And yes, a lot of people will remain skinny for the rest of their lives if they aren’t eating enough to grow. I figured that should be obvious.
A 78 yr old fat guy is a terrible example of whatever point you are trying to make.

His wife drowned that part is true, but there was no evidence to my knowledge that he actually killed her. In fact, he wasn’t even around when it happened and when he heard about it all accounts are that he was emotionally crushed over it.
Do you think it’s appropriate to spread vicious rumors about people on the Internet? I don’t think it matters who else does it, I don’t think it’s a good way to operate.
Take care.

Wiliam Shatner is 78 years old. Given the fact that many 78 year old men are in much worse shape, or dead I’d say he’s doing pretty well for himself.
As long as you’re in the mood why don’t you pick on someoe really disgusting like, oh, say Rosie O’Donnell? [/quote]
Seriously. Life is too short to worry about dieting the whole time.
If I was a multi-millionaire American icon in the later stages of my life, I’d probably just relax and take it all in, too.[/quote]
I’ll still be a skinny bastard at 78…[/quote]
Yea, maybe you will and maybe you won’t, but good luck with that. Since the current average life expectancy for a male in the US in 2009 is 77.6 I think he’s doing pretty well, all non complimentary photos aside.
the guy looks like he swalloed a cannonball LOL.
Dave Tate would be proud.

What are doing is using paparazzi shots of an overweight celeb to push a theory that didn’t stick the first 7,000 times you tried to make it.
If you think so little of the readership here that you have to constantly post condescending and repetitive crap using an account that you admitted yourself should’ve been deleted a long time ago, I have to ask why you keep coming back here when you clearly have no interest in intelligent, mature discussion - oh wait, that’s to give the rest of us the opportunity to mock you at every turn.
You’re retarded
You’re retarded.

So are you.
Shit when Im 78 I hope to be like that, because he’s WALKING, most people cant do that.
The real question: is William Shatner in better shape than Nominal Prospect?
Yea, I will definitely outmass Shatner (older brother of Shitner?) by the time I’m 78.
I will use the natural process of aging as my bulking agent.
It is more effective for this purpose than D-bol, not to mention squats and milk.
Pick a celebrity. Look at them when they were 20. Look at them when they were 50. You’ll find far more mass on them at the latter stage, regardless of whether they ever lifted. I think that proves my point.
And yes, young people with beautiful lean physiques have been yelled at and told to shove crap down their throat on this forum. Many times. Thibaudeau even wrote a now-infamous article to express his disapproval of it.

Here he is at around 20 (when he entered Mr.Universe)…
…and this is Connery in Zardoz, aged 44. He is shirtless in both pics, so you can’t wriggle out with excuses…unless you’re going to say that he has put on significant amounts of mass in the next six years doing it “your way” ( I know that Connery was physically no different when he was fifty - I just couldn’t find a shirtless pic to stop you from saying “there is no way of telling” or some other cop-out).
Either way, I’ve got a second example waiting.
Nicholson put on hella mass, too.
Funny thing about this photo is they cropped out the 5 or 6 birds he had on his boat with him at the time.
Oh, to be a celebrity…
Nice abs
To me a more interesting matter, that I’ve never seen an answer on, is whether Shatner lifted weights in the early or mid 60s. My guess is that he did.
In one of the Twilight Zone episodes – I think the one where he is unnerved by a fortune-telling device, not so much the airplane one – he is a fairly skinny dude, much narrower and thinner than he was as Capt Kirk.

Bill, there’s an early B & W publicity shot of Shatner lifting floating around the web. It’s in his photo gallery on the Internet Movie Database. I couldn’t post it because IMDb doesn’t allow you to save pics from its gallery (at least, I had no luck).
It was taken well before the post-Pumping Iron bodybuilding craze (so it wasn’t just a photographer’s attempt to cash in on a trend). I’d say that he had at least a casual interest in lifting.
