Does anyone reading T-Nation find it a bit hypocritical that the staff constantly ridicules these bloated, hair frosted, nut shrinking, “Flex” reading, bodybuilders(as they should be ridiculed)…yet they are always posting pictures of these tools as their “Powerful Images.” How about some olympic lifters, powerlifters, worlds strongest men…basically people who actually train hard. No more bikini wearing, bronze coated, gym asses.

You bet your ass I do! Hypocritical sons of bitches!
Oh, wait a minute…that’s me.
You know what the problem is? I can’t find good pics of guys. You may not know this, but there are lots and lots of pics of babes on the Internet.
No, no, it’s true.
However finding pics of male muscle is hard, and truthfully, not as much fun as finding female pics.
PLUS, I’m constricted by the allocated space. I have to have pics that are vertical–up and down–and most powerlifting pics are horizontal, as the Olympic bar is 7 ft long.
If you’ve got any good pics that fit my criteria, send 'em my way.

Whoa Mr. Grumpy pants…
in defence of TC - remember it says “Powerful Image” - it does not say " Phisique to be Emulated".
The images shown are usually quite powerful indeed. Love’em or hate’em!!! One request… that last PI that was just on with the blonde - can you please make that your opening banner!!!
She was beyond powerful!!!
I thought the phrase was “Demandy Pants”… ?
This one fits the bill I think. Pat Casey, inclined, 220’s.

It’s a horizontal photo. It needs to be vertical.
With these proportions, it would only be an inch high.

TC, have you checked out Brad Cardoza’s site?

I’ll check out the site, but this particular photo doesn’t really grab me. Sorry!
And the moral of the story is that we should only have hot girls in the Powerful Images section.
No need to waste our time with pics of guys.
I could be wrong, but isn’t that Dorian Yates in the PI?
You’re right. We should never have photos of multiple Mr O titles as Powerful Images.
If this is where this site is headed, I respectfully submit that we change the name of this place from T-Nation to E-Nation. Maybe you guys could get Oprah to writer some feel good soy-ladened article about how men should wear pink, and carry purses.
WTF is going on around here anyhow?
Don’t think he means its bad to have awesome physiques on there. Its just there aren’t very many of the other kinds of photos like Strongmen etc. I remember one of a guy deadlifting that was simply awesome. Balance is the key. Not just babes and hyoooooooge guys.
I was pretty convinced I could find some very powerful UFC or Pride pics, but the length and width needs really do eliminate a lot of the cool pictures out there. In other words, it’s tougher than it looks.

It would be better if the weight was actually off the floor.
Quite honestly you could get rid of the Powerful Images, its the only thing that I have to worry about when checking out the site while at work. If its a hot girl I am pushing the computer use policy limits, if its a dude people try to set me up on a blind date with their gay neighbor.

Big Dave, the Powerful Image is an option.
You can turn it off in the “customize” section of the site.
In fact, as of recently, the default for the Powerful Image is “off” so if new members want to see it, they have to customize their profile and turn it on.

You can turn the Powerful Images off, so you never have to look at them. Just click on ‘Customize’ and set Poerful Images to off.
AD, seriously, just keep doing what you’re doing, man. Forget all the haters. Don’t fuck with anything.
Maybe Prof X or Sasquatch will post their pics one day…
