I am up at the rent’s summer place in Old Lyme, CT. I’ve grown up here so I know these kids since my yesteryears. One guy I know in particular is a Kinesio major @ JMU. So, in the time I’ve known him he has put on some decent mass. Nothing T-worthy, but decent.
He threw a kegger last night at one of the private beaches and invited a bunch of college buddies as well as his younger sister’s college friends.
I decided to stop by to catch up on old-times. So here is my story:
About an hour into the party an upcoming sophomore strolls into the party. He’s sporting his rolled jeans and sandals with a pink striped button down. The shirt was unbuttoned to below the nipple line with no undershirt. After about a few beers he begins talking to the ladies with the typical uptight-muscles flexed posture. If you could imagine this is one of those chest-and-bis guys.
After about another hour he starts egging the host into a pose-off or as he calls it a “flex-off”. So with both guys sporting the Irish Blush they decided to give it a go infront of the ladies. My kinesio friend actually sports a decent physique, nothing low-body fat but you can tell his goals are to put on as much mass as he can while he is still young (would make a decent apprentice to Prof X).
At this point my GF turns to me and says, “Yeah but I bet none of these guys have any wheels.” This is about the only thing that floored me more than seeing a pose off at a keg party. For those of you who don’t know, Royal Goober is actually the significant other.
The nipple man is sporting what I call the frat-bench-press-chest which is very unbalanced and only developed on on the outline of the chest from very wide benching. Not only was this guy sporting Wilt Chaimerlain thighs but he had no triceps, no lats, no traps, nothing. Just a cut chest and “huge” biceps. Shunned to his corner when my GF inquired about him not showing his legs.
I figured it couldn’t get any better than that. Well, that and the fact that for the rest of the night every girl called him every derogatory term for homosexual in the book; not that I support that type of stuff.

With each “group” of people there are exceptions. However, from my neck of the woods and, in this case, this neck of the woods… the fraternity brothers are all built the same.
However, I thank you for pointing out the obvious. I am skinny. You have just made it apparent that it doesn’t take a genius to realize that.
I think, I am pretty decent sized and move pretty decent weight for my sport without being detrimental to my goals / performance. I doubt there are many triathletes who can match my lifts and still finish an Ironman at my pace. But that is just my ego talking.
But who am I to get into an ignorant arguement in the middle of a lighthearted story.
It’s not an argument. It can be. It can be one-sided.
For me, that was lighthearted. It’s well documented: if you say ‘frat’ to describe non-T training, I give you a love tap. No one else, out of multiple reference points, has tried to come off smarter than me in response. What does this tell us? Maybe that your ‘ego’ needs to stop ‘talking’ and help you pedal/run/swim.
In fairness, previous incidents have occured as friendly ribbing between men who are themselves far outside the stereotype. The asymmetric nature of your chiding doesn’t sit as well with me.

I was just fucking with you. Leave it.[/quote]
With that, I unbunch my panties.
The man was boasting about being in a frat. I just had to throw it in.
With many, a friends in greek life, I respect the community it builds between “brothers”.
I liked her!
