To your first point, he is a personal trainer, I don’t see where it said he trains top athletes or strength competetors. It even said his reason for doing this was to better connect and understand his clients, so to him, he does care what sedentary people think.
Gee, I acknowledged that by saying the only people who will care are fat people. No one who actually built their body up will…so you are now agreeing me?
He didn’t do it for people like you, so for you to comment on how he looked prior doesn’t really make much sense.
It makes perfect sense considering someone brought the article HERE for discussion. That means opinions will be stated, even some you may not agree with. Go figure.
He most likley trains soccer moms and fat office workers, THEY would be impressed with his prior physique and probably even moreso if they see him get fat and then back to his old shape.
Gee, that’s why I wrote that the only way this makes sense is if it helps you make more money. For anyone not in the public eye like this to do the same would be highly retarded.
Imagine this scenario, you are at a lifting meet and a couple is sitting next to you, the guy is into it but the wife is not. A guy busts his ass and deadlifts 800 Lbs, the wife then leans over to the husband as says something like whats so great about that. You telling me you wouldn’t be put off by a comment like that? Well the guy may not have had your goals, but he most likley did put in a lot of hard work to get to his goals.
Are we looking at the same pictures? He was SKINNY. It doesn’t take that much hard work to maintain muscles that size. Do you know what takes really hard work? maintaining muscles 3 times as big as that due to the sheer amount of scheduled feedings needed and the weight lifted. This guy doubtfully had to even bench much over 200lbs to look like that and staying lean simply meant avoiding food, not dieting like a bodybuilder.
So while I retract my statement about you being disrespectful, it’s not the best word to describe it, you were poo pooing him.
More like “foo fooing” him…because I find guys who want to actually look like those “heroin chic” models to be funny as hell…like poodles.
Cant think of a better term so bear with me. I’m not saying you aren’t entitled to your opinion of the guy, or that it’s the wrong opinion, but it seems you are quick to discredit his achievements based on his goals and not based on how hard he worked to get there.
That is all, can we now also touch tips? I’ll be in the sauna with countingbeans.

How hard did he work to maintain a body like that? He had to…with all of his might and all his inner being…put the burger down and avoid heavy weights? Yeah…sacrifice of the highest order.[/quote]
Well seeing as how we are both assuming we know how hard he worked we are both talking out of our asses. I will try to find his workout logs or training routines or something to see how hard he worked. And you speak of avoiding a burger like it is easy. LOL discipline with your diet is a very big hurdle for most people weather it’s calorie restrictive or calorie excessive. Sticking to a set meal plan is no harder if you have to eat 6 meals at 6,000 calories than it is if you have to eat 6 meals at 2,500 calories. Of course I know you think and have stated before how much work it is to wipe your ass multiple times a day because of how much you shit on a big diet, so I guess technically it is harder, but not much.
Do I think he was skinny, yes of course he was, he was 2 inches taller than I am and 20lbs lighter. Sure it’s skinny, but do I care that he was skinny? no why the hell would I care? You care.
