There is no way that anyone actually believed that the photo was real.
Anyone who seriously thinks that the OP genuinely could not tell that the picture was photo-shopped is very gullible.
I think you overestimate some posters. This is no more unbelievable than the guy who claimed JoJo Ntiforo was obese.
Maybe you are right.
The OP’s claim is probably even more ridiculous than the guy that called JoJo fat though.
If the OP is actually genuine then he could seriously be considered clinically retarded.
This doesn’t surprise me. I doubt most of the posters here under 18 years of age have much knowledge of biology or anatomy. That is why that other idiot thought big muscles equal “obese”. He was unfamiliar with what the human body even looks like when taken to an extreme so he associated it with obesity because that was all he could relate “big” to.
These are the same types of people who will hang on some authors every word because they have no foundation of knowledge. They are waiting for someone to hand them everything.
Some kid who has taken no initiative to even look into bodybuilding before coming here has nothing to relate these images to. Therefore, they can’t tell the difference between a real Markus Rhul or a photoshopped one with massive 35" arms.
You can only blame that idiot though. No one had to tell me to do my research and no one led me by the hand.
The bad thing is, it will likely only get worse as we progress in technology. The moment we can simply download info directly to our brains without getting out of bed, we are all screwed as a species.[/quote]
True again. In a different thread you posted about how gyms have changed with more and more regular folk as opposed tot he serious.
I saw the same thing in the day. I’m 44 now, and if you lifted 25-30 years ago in gym the same fellows were there. And if you were young like me and showed some manners and respect, the bigger older, stronger guys didn’t mind showing you some stuff.
It was kind of like the apprentice, journeyman, master of trades system. People have to follow a progression and you can’t take shortcuts. Whether it be learning or lifting, you can’t take shortcuts, or you actually think a photoshopped pic that actually resembles a he man doll is real.
