yeah, the ability to embed them in posts uploading them directly here would be handy. I can see why they aren’t doing it, though

There’s only one way to do this - everybody has to send a blood sample, fingerprints, a tuft of hair, and a picture of them flexing their bicep while holding a shoe to T-Nation.

The points being:
People lie in real life. And more so over the internet. I don’t expect integrity from people. So when it’s not present its not a big deal. Perhaps that makes me cynical.
Nutty’s lifting total was about as important as the colour of his shorts to me.
Integrity is also treating people with respect for no other reason then its the right thing to do. And - well there are plenty of guys on where that don’t do that. But just because we believe their totals that’s okay?
All I’m saying is compared to some other behaviour on here - IF he made up some training history then so be it.
Also - its okay we see this differently. I mean I understand your points.

A very good point, sir.
Fuck yeah, it is. I’ve repeatedly stressed my hatred for echo chambers on here - should I ever find myself in a place where everyone agrees with me, I know I’m in the wrong place.
Except if everyone agrees that fighting a polar bear-sized goose is way worse than the goose-sized polar bears, because that’s just obv.

I seem to remember he said he trained naked? Those demanding picture might want to be careful about what they wish for…

Hey I didn’t realize you and Pwn were training partners!
Seriously though, that’s some impressive lifting.

We can’t even agree if the sizes are by height or weight, so I really don’t see how we can agree on that either.
I can certainly see how a goose of either size would be something to contend with though.
But a goose sized bear is basically a pomeranian, which I have fough several times for both food and territory.

Either way… I would still choose the goose sized bears.
I dunno. I had a hard enough time with the pom stealing my lunch and messing with shop space.

Interesting, I would like to take the opportunity to debate this.
By weight would be odd when referring to “size”. For example, when I say it’s about the size of an.adult male, I don’t expect someone to think 200lbs. It would be particularly odd in this case as geese are optimised for flight (ie…they are lighter than you’d expect).
For me, the bear would be a little smaller than a warthog, which would be very formidable.

That’s about what I had figured. 10 polar bears that size.
Still choosing them over a goose this size

Definitely.
A duck confession: I once tried to “save” a duck from being “assaulted” by another duck. Then I sez…hmmm…went home, googled, and found out that’s called Sex ROFLMAO.
And geese are meaner than ducks. Just sayin’.

My wife went for the liquor drawer tonight, above the fridge, and found my cookie dough spoon hiding on top of the fridge. I received a scolding from my wife and two daughters.
Hahaha

When I was younger, I came across a bird sitting on a bench. As I got closer, it didn’t move. I sat next to it, didn’t move. I figured it was hurt.
I looked around, across the road is a store which I take a crate from. Put the bird in it. No fight from the bird, so I figure it must be in bad shape.
I wasn’t sure what to do, so I start walking to the nearest police station. It would have been a few miles walk.
I get into the police station where some cop is pleading with a junkie to just go to another district, clearly at the end of his tether. After he deals with the junkie he looks my way and then looks at the crate, he seems both confused and a little alarmed.
I walk up to him, explain the story and ask him if he can take the bird.
It’s hard to describe the expression on his face but he kept his composure and suggests that I take the bird to the nearest tree and let nature take it’s course. I try argue the point but it isn’t happening.
So I walk out of the police station, I sit on a bench trying to figure out what I’m going to do then the bird jumps up onto the top of crate, jumps onto the bench, gives a few chirps and flies away…
It had happily sat there while I walked a few miles and waited at the police station a good 30-60 minutes…

This is the thing for me that I can’t work out. The question is WHY? Why would he go to the trouble of logging all those sessions week after week and giving people simple sound training advice if it was all a lie. What did he have to gain ??
I also see @flappinit point too. If someone repeatedly tells people they can do it and are going to show a video then they should be true to themselves and do what they said.
If you want to log sessions and no vids or pics that’s fine. People can chose to believe you or not. No harm no foul.
A good question.
Also, people who insist on ‘calling out’ everyone who makes claims, think about what we have to lose. The internet is a big place, with a lot of communities for lifters. If someone posts here but wants to keep their identity private, or just doesn’t like taking and/or posting pics / videos of themselves, and gets hassled for doing so despite being an otherwise nice and helpful member of the community, what reasons do they have to stay? I hope he has at least found somewhere else to post and contribute without having to post a picture of himself holding a shoe.
