Im not particularly a fan of his but where do you see ‘‘palumboism’’. He claims that after his upcoming shows hes done. Who knows.

red04, you’re talking about a very small sample size that competes in an extreme sport and trying to compare that to the average person. Doesn’t that seem, idk, short sighted? What are you even basing the above observation on? [/quote]
Well, the discussion began about two members of the very small sample size of competitors in said extreme sport though, correct? [/quote]
It had started that way, yes, which is why I’m not following why you would then try and compare them to your average person?

Which observation are you questioning? I’d guess the one about BBers dying before 50 on average at a rate greater than the general populous? Yes I don’t have any hard stats on that one, it’s possible I’m wrong, I’m not trying to assert anything as irrefutable proof, especially without citing anything.
However, even knowing that heart disease is THE leading killer in the west, it certainly feels like there are quite a number of guys from the recent era of the BB game that are dying quite young, while heart disease still waits until later ages to kill MOST of its victims that aren’t walking billboards of the other markers(obesity being the obvious thing here, which I mentioned). [/quote]
Ya, that’s what I was talking about. I don’t follow the sport so maybe top level guys are dying off more so than the average population, IDK. I’m not much of a “feels” kind of guy. I was just wondering if you had any proof is all.

Maybe this isn’t what WF was getting at and I’m misrepresenting him, but I feel like that’s what he was getting at, and it was taken as much more of an insult/attack than it was meant to be. Dude is just saying that this may not be the healthiest hobby in the world, especially when taken to the extreme(competition, playing the size game), so condemning another competitor to a pre-40 death bed comes off feeling awkward. [/quote]
Maybe. I’m not sure that’s exactly what WF has conveyed here. I just find it odd to take a strong position against something without any real proof.

All this said I think Bostin Loyd is a joke and it pains me to see him grow as this weird kind of icon.[/quote]
He seem like a moron to me as well.

His latest pic showS a bloated gut, thin legs, flat appearance. Not strictly Palumboism per se, but certainly the look of an older veteran lifter over 50.
Phil Viz will destroy him come contest day.
^I gotta say, PEDs aside, for a relatively youngish guy, and of course based solely on the above pic, I see a midsection that seems to be developing well ahead of his chest.

Either this guy has the worst genetics or he’s truly wrecking himself with PEDs.
He looks fucking terrible.
I would rather just stop lifting and go back to being a tall scrawny lanky bastard than look like that.
