Ha, you should try watching the “bodybuilder” (really a figure competitor, but whatever) episode with squirrel-girl…
Her voice (and demeanor imo, or maybe I’m just a callous bastard) flat out hurts.

i remember seeing one where this guy decided he wanted to be a bodybuilder and he was pretty overweight. i felt like both of them only decided to be bodybuilders or powerlifters because they wanted to get closer to the guys… in the biblical sense:)

I don’t wanna be an asshole, nor start some flame war, but am I the only one who thinks that MTV always bullshits that show? I mean, I have watched that show several times and without fail the kid they pick always wins first place at whatever it is they choose, even if they compete against people that have practiced for years and are really good.
In this one, ok, there was no one else on his weight category, so he would win fist place anyway, but I highly doubt that a small, weak kid who never touched a weight in his life and only likes to play with girls coul pull 250 in just a matter of a couple weeks.
I find the show to be great, it really shows the kids that they can be anything they want as long as they work hard for it, big kudos for that. But if the end results weren’t always great than it would be real bad tv. So, in my view, it’s always fake. Still cool, though.
Just my 2 cents, I can br wrong and everyone of them really be a special snowflake.[/quote]
Damn you must be one weak kitten to think you have to be a special snowflake to pull 250lb after a month of training. I lifted 275lb the first time I ever pulled in my life and I was a 15 year old walking sack of bones. It must suck to be you…[/quote]
Exactly. I’, pretty sure both of the girls we trained for a raw meet wound up pulling 275 with just 8-10 weeks of training at bodyweights of 123 and 148.
