Funny guy WestCoast, I have a workout log on here if you have suggestions. [/quote]
Keeping a log doesn’t mean your training. That simply means your going through the motions. So I ask again, when are you going to start training seriously? Its up to you, why waste the time in the gym if your not going to bust your ass and make progress. That applies to any facet of life.[/quote]
Agreed…and apparently “strength training” now means “make slow ass progress for half a decade before realizing that maybe you shouldn’t have been laughing at the guys training like “bodybuilders””.
Ahm…
Can we get more pics of Ms. Vicky Vale?
Perhaps her own thread???

A lot of these people claim body weights that they look nothing like. I don’t understand it either. That first pic I posted was just at 210lbs. Guys like kingbeef are weighing around 210 yet look 10 times more filled out than these guys at 220lbs. I know height has much to do with it, but either people have heavier bones lately or their scales are off big time.
Maybe it would help to not weigh themselves while wearing a backpack filled with lead weights.[/quote]
C’mon ProX, Kingbeef and Andrew have very different physiques. Tho they weigh around the same, their bf levels are very different as are their muscle bellies and insertion points. Add height difference and water retention and you can have 2 guys that weigh the same and have totally different physiques. I know you already know this, so why try to guesstimate someone’s weight from a picture? I agree he doesn’t look 220lbs, but I’ve seen crazier shit in my day then a guy who looks lighter then he really is.

I can’t say for others but i weigh at 207 pounds and I do not look not even close to kingbeef or you at that weight,i think it has much to do with bone structure in my case at least…
To the OP: whoever slits the other’s fucking throat first is the winner. No, forget that; whoever GETS their fucking throat slit first is the winner.

I was speaking generally. MOST of the guys showing pictures lately are like this, not just these guys. I already mentioned height. It seems like many of these guys just don’t look like the weight they claim. It is NOT just about body fat because I wasn’t contest ready in that 210lbs picture either. The muscle just isn’t there. This guy has been training for three years and if he had a clear goal of gaining some muscle, he should be farther along by now.
I personally think many of these guys got caught up in that “anti-bodybuilding” bullshit and lost perspective on what goals they are even supposed to have. They were told we are the ones doing it wrong…even though most of the guys who stand out in the bodybuilding forum are also some of the strongest guys here as well in what they train for.
It is like GOAL SETTING is a foreign concept lately…because most don’t even know what they want. They have this mental image of being some kind of super athlete who is “functional” and somehow doesn’t need to train biceps.
I doubt I am far off here from reality.

More improper panty sizes.
Its funny - timely forum,
I weigh a whopping 243ish right now and guys at the gym are always watching and staring. Like I have a special secret. One guy asked me yesterday if i’m a pro or something. Great ego boost when I’m lifting but afterwards when the dopamine settles you’re like WTF!!! If it weren’t for this site, I’d be happy with my progress and not pushing myself. Or worse still sitting at 205 and happy.
You even see trainers doing BS excercises that don’t build any mass. There’s a dumpy one at my gym and I really want to sign up for a free session so that I can help him.
Uhm - more pics of ms solei
I’m just gonna post this before some dumbass says she’s fat. I KNOW someone on here is thinking that.

Well I dont know what to say. I thought it was common knowledge that muscle weighs more than shit and you cant pile shit 6 feet high. I weighed in today at exactly 220lbs. Any way to prove those kind of things around here?

Sounds about right to me. Even the part about the trainer. Only I guess I took teh ego boost too far. I’m ok now though. Went down a few notches or twelve.

Yes indeed, yes indeed. Fellow T-Nation’ers gather round. We have ourselves another call out. The nature of this particular abomination involves a feud with an out of house player named Julian. There is a lot to know about this guy but firstly I’ll have you know that he received his training foundations from BB.com, squats with his shoes on and is a self proclaimed personal trainer… 'nuff said.
After a series of comments he made to me in the gym I suggested we do a call out online to see who has the better physique. He graciously agreed, being very confident that he being ‘ripped’ would win and me being ‘fat’ would lose.
Below will be the first series of pictures. I was going to post the pictures celtic style (side by side) but thought against it.
Weight
One of us is 150lbs and the other is 220lbs. We’re both the same height…it might be hard to tell which one is which.[/quote]
Please spare us posting any pics of the MM that took place right after.
