Sometimes mid-breath, an otherwise well-developed “sixpack” will all but disappear. I know mine temporarily looks quite smooth with anything less than a full exhale.
I can at least see where the steroid comment was coming from by looking at his delts but I don’t buy it either. It’s gotta suck working your ass off then being dismissed as a “user”.
If that really IS CarrotTop,… way to go, man!

With or without gear, it takes work to get to that size. I say credit to him either way.
Regarding the ongoing discussion about his back and legs, I’m leaning toward the camp that says his back is underdeveloped. I agree with the notion that some lower lats should be visible in that pose with pecs and delts that size.
I also recall hearing Carrot Top on Howard Stern a while back where Howard commented on the Top’s huge guns and small legs. I think I remember Carrot Top claiming that he didn’t really work the lower body, but I can’t be certain. However, that was definitely the crux of the conversation: Stern pointing out Carrot Top’s disproportionate physique.
My question is - how is it so many people give a shit whether Carrot Top juices or not?
Does it really matter?
Is him getting larger going to stop you from doing the same?
For pete’s sake - You guys are obsessing over CARROT TOP!!! Wake the hell up. At the very least find something worthwhile to bitch about.
/rant.

I agree with you, RainJack. The problem is DieselWeasel hasn’t posted any videos of his awesome 1RMs lately, so people are getting the itch.
Where’s a good troll when you need one?

No, wait, ON topic:
If Carrot Top were indeed shooting roids, would you call them carrot juice?
That was the last thought for the day. It must be bedtime. Leg day tomorrow (yay!), guess I won’t be seeing orange boy there!
Too bad he didn’t put that much work into improving his comedy…

Well, that worked like a charm, didn’t it? Perhaps you should work on your technique. I wasn’t the only one to respond in this thread.

That is fucking funny.
He has made good progress with his physique. Now maybe all you “hard-gainers” can shut the fuck and get a clue. If CarrotTop can make decent gains, anybody can.
I think he looks good overall. Kudos to him. It is certainly very possible to obtain such a physique without roids. And I agree with Xen Nova - he has excellent vascularity.
I don’t get the glove comment though. I mean, honestly, who gives a damn if he wears gloves or not. And what does how much you are lifting have to do with gloves anyway? I wear gloves, and I wear them for a 10lb warmup just like I do for a full weight set. I don’t see why there is some “magic” weight where gloves become “okay.” Call me a pussy if you want, but I frankly don’t give a damn. I don’t like callouses on my hands, and I don’t need “the feel of the metal” so I wear gloves.
As for the place the photo was taken - its obvious to me that is some kind of “posed” shot, taken other than at a gym. I doubt he really curls 30s, and I doubt a gym has those photos on the wall… and I hope he doesn’t wear that hat when lifting!
Off topic:
Prof X, what did you do in another life that has every sniper taking a verbal shot at you? You seem to be involved in a battle of wits and words in most of the threads you are involved in. Keeping making your points, that’s what the first amendment allows you.

Notice how he doesn’t look freakish in this relaxed, pre-wo pic. He gets a really good pump.

Why does he wear mascara? I mean, seriously. So you have light eyelashes and eyebrows. So what? That’s no excuse to wear make-up for Christ’s sake.
Done, i emailed his office or address or assistant for national publicity, hopefully he’ll say hi on the thread and trash the haters :

I honestly don’t like the message you sent for several different reasons. But that aside, it would be cool if he’d drop by.
It would be funny if he turned out to be a troll…
