A very wise man in the ways of building muscle.

The only question I have is why so many authors on this website seem to skip over that fact. Dieting down was never seen as the hardest part of bodybuilding. That hasn’t stopped several authors from acting as if any fat gain is a death sentence that one simply can’t overcome. It may help sell that author’s personal brand of training, but the result is a few hundred newbies so in fear of gaining body fat that they never eat enough to gain any muscle.
hey, if there’s anything that can get me stronger without using steroids I
m in. I want people to remember me when I walk down the streets, screw the tiny muscles!

I’m guessing the thought process went something like ‘hey, men’s health makes more than bodybuilding mags…’

Yes and than if you read the physique clinics they go completely against that.
Crewpierce is trying to get in 8,000+ calories on Sundays and that USC guy they said to his progress pictures “you seem to have gained some fat but at this point thats OK”

In terms of image, the current preference is for beauty that is not fully evolved. �??People are afraid to look over 21 or make any statement of what it means to be adult,�?? Ms. Cutrone said.

My theory is these sick fuckers like weak submissive boy toys for their perverted sex games, so that it’s easier to dismember and dispose of the corpse afterwards.

I think you’re close, but I don’t think they want to kill them.
Gee, what moron now shoots to be an urchin, a wraith or an underfed runt all because someone came out with a new style this season?

Then a funny thing happened. The models were also downsized. Where the masculine ideal of as recently as 2000 was a buff 6-footer with six-pack abs, the man of the moment is an urchin, a wraith or an underfed runt.

I use to work at a coffee shop and once while on break with a couple of my co-workers, one a manorexic and the other an obese woman, I listened to this guy seriously consider taking up smoking because the obese woman was telling him how it ‘really does help you lose weight’. That is the kind of moron we’re talking about.
I made a thread with an old article that I think just might warm your hearts about what it takes to be huge. I’d like to hear both or your thoughts on it, the thread is called “what is your ultimate goal?”. There seems to be a near total silence from all the people on here about it, surpirse surprise I guess right?
I’m 6’3, 207 (down from 285 of pure fatassedness) pounds with a still relatively high BF %. Last checked was around 19-20 and should be a few points lower by now.
I’ve only been training for about 16 months, and while I’m no kid (26) I’ve still got time for a lot of quality gains I hope. In my short amount of time under the bar, I’ve learned one very important thing about myself.
I DO WANT TO BE HUGE!!! Big as I can fucking get, anyway.
…the good kind of huge, not the kind of huge I used to be.
Well I haven’t seen this thread before until just now. I am 21 years old, that’s pretty young and sign me up for the I want to be huge club! All my friends, especially the girls constantly tell me to stop getting bigger and when I tell them I want to gain at LEAST another 30pounds they tell me NO NO you are going to get too big, blah blah.
I tell them there’s no such thing as too big. I want to be as big as I can get without the use of steroids.
At 36, I’m at the point where there’s a real likelihood that the “T” factory might be shuttin’ down soon if it hasn’t already.
I’ve already proven to myself that, barring injury, I’m only 3-4 months away from dropping 30-40 lbs or more. And, it’s not a mental battle to do so, it’s physical.
So long as the cholesterol/BP/triglycerides stay within reason, I’m just going keep eating lots of stuff and keep lifting heavy things.
Hell, I still have my ‘fat clothes’, so if I go up another couple waist inches, I’m still all set.
