We lost people like Gifted (Brandon Curry) on this site because of just what we are talking about here. If anyone here thinks he just woke up one day looking like that, they have some screws loose. He was far ahead of the game long before he started competing. Regardless of what he may use now as a pro, you can not act like that is why he looks the way he does.
People without the drive want to blame everything BUT the hard work for why that big guy in the gym makes more progress.
None of that is going to cover up the fact that the people pointing fingers missed several days of training in the last month and will be making New Year’s Resolutions like all of the other soon to be gym failures in a couple of months.[/quote]
Are you saying Ronnie Coleman wasn’t born 5’11" @ 330lbs?

I’m of the opinion that if shit like that crops up, the mods should be encouraged/allowed to pop in and tip us off to the posters other user name (given that the poster is usually one with shit to contribute in the first place).
It’s easy to have balls when you can always log back in under a different identity.

Bauer doesn’t post much lately. All this site has to do is lose about 5-10 serious lifters here and this place will become like Getbig…only less impressive.
I guess none of this will sink in to most until it happens.
This place is becoming like my gym. They have gotten rid of half of their 45lbs plates that they used to have in surplus because most of the people training there don’t even use them. I now have to go on a quest every night to round up enough plates to train with…which is a workout in itself.
On the average night, the most developed person there couldn’t have arms bigger than 15" and the hardest workers are the people over 40…even though they started too late to truly gain enough size to be “big” and are generally just trying to maintain where they are.
Average people are taking over. What I don’t get is why people are so willing to hand over the keys.[/quote]
He deserve’s to have his teeth shoved down his throat, disrespectfull motherfucker, PM the man if you want to ask, cunts like u really shit me(Hankey) safe in internet world. If you were in my world u would be on r arse.
In re to the question of his sexuality i cannot answer but i do know he needs to understand respect.

Hankey, Headhunter?
Yes? No?
If you are Headhunter, how long have you been Headhunter?

It wasn’t left handed. It was the truth. Those are the guys I speak to nightly because they are more focused than the jackasses lifting up their shirts to reveal their 145lbs six packs in the mirror every 5 minutes. They are the ones who will make comments about my progress, the ones who motivate me to even think about competing. There is a ton of shit you can learn from the guy who has made it well past 35 and STILL works out regularly instead of making excuses.
Those are the people I asked questions of, especially the ones who did get big and maintained it.
That is what I want to be…50+ years old and still bigger and stronger than people half my age.
There’s nothing “left handed” about it.[/quote]
Hmmm…Yes…Truth…Simply explains the aberrant behavior of these pencilnecked haters, the classic expression “The truth hurts”(and they are so butt-hurt about seeing someone else progress they feel compelled to lash out at the objects of their frustrations & reminders of their percieved inadequacy: The muscular & “big”)…it logically follows that this crowd “Can’t handle the truth”…While they continue to wallow in their delusions, the dedicated will continue to progress. Strange…I look to your example as a “late-bloomer”, and in turn when you hit my age bracket, you will be an awesome role model for those who can appreciate it…As those hipsters Cos & Culp would have said: "The pain of it all…The pain of it all…
I feel for you Professor X. If I manage to do what I hope to, I will be accused of using enhancment drugs. With my age I will never be able to convince everyone otherwise.
This will be after the fact that I will have been tested more than a dozen time. These tests are random and take place over a year long period.
The fact that I gave up my personal life and all relationships (except with daughter). I work, eat, train and recover. In the long run however, I’m not doing this for anyone other than me. I know how clean I am and that’s what matters. There will be no death bed confessions from me.
You know what’s insulting? Spending 15 years hitting the gym 5-6 days a week WITHOUT FAIL through finals, mid terms, board exams, bad relationships, late days at work and minor sickness…choking down food when you aren’t hungry every single day 6 times a day or more again WITHOUT FAIL…being more dedicated than most people will ever give credit for and sticking with this when all others have dropped out long ago…and then having someone try to say that drugs did it.[/quote]
You shouldn’t give a fuck if people think you take steroids or not. At least i hope you don’t(actually i know you don’t-lol i’m a mind reader).
This is why i was going to PM you a while ago, when i read a post you made about leaving T-Nation.
Some of us people need you on this board, your a VERY positive influence!

This is why I rarely post in the forums anymore other than the Politics forums. It’s all the same very basic, generic supplement and training questions.
And then you get people like this dude Hankey. BUT, there are still some good articles, good contributors like Thib, some good posters, and quality supplements.
Prof X. Does his best to knock sense into people without direction. Then those who question him wrongly, are the ones who don’t understand the value of his advice. They will never understand. Bottomline, he has paid his dues thusfar and I’ve learned greatly from him.

I’m not tacky enough to inquire about it, but I had thought you might be juiced. I remember an article several years ago featuring an interview with doctors who used steroids and I wondered if you were one of them.
X Juices, I know for a fact, but not in the way you are thinking, He uses the Juicman Juicer and realises the POWER of all natural fresh juice. He can pull a motorhome with his teeth, climb a brick building with pinky holds and has even made a special juice that makes him invisible.

Don’t mean to ride on the guys jock, but from what I’ve gathered from being on this board intermittently for a few years and reading through posts in the different forums: X is one bad ass dude and embodies the theory behind this site…
