Perhaps…but this does not mean that he has to throw up those pics of him in a banana-hammock.
I mean if you claim not to be a bodybuilder, then why post pics and ask to be rated?
This is not the “Rate my Deadlift” forum.
I have been following the Deez’s thread on BB.com for shits and giggs.
It would appear that they have banned his second profile over there…lol.
From the aforementioned BB thread, when asked why DW got banned.
Hahahahahahaahha! Sounds like an even funnier thread than this one. But please, for the love of all you hold sacred, don’t post that shot here.

No job? I worked 30+ hours, the past two weeks. I still find time to train 3-4x per week and set PRs, such as my 225x1 push press, a couple of days ago. Can you say the same for yourself, in terms of training consistency?
Yea, ‘cause 30+ hours ain’t even considered full-time. Hell, I was workin’ 55+ hours and still found time to lift even though I was wore down to the ground.
I wouldn’t be boastin’ of finding time to work-out with only part time hours.[/quote]
I’m a full-time college student too.

I have always been suspicious of DW’s “military record.” Primarily because he wears it on his sleeve. I personally know no less than 50 guys who have been to Iraq. none of the say, “Hey, I’m an Iraq vet!” Real combat vets are more sober. Most don’t look for an opportunity to boast about it. After seeing something striking in that bb.com thread, I am even more suspicious.
DW claims to have been enlisted from in the Army from 2001-2003. Here is what his website says: “I was a soldier in the U.S. Army from 2001 to 2003 and also a veteran of the Iraq War (Operation Iraqi Freedom - 2003)”
This immediately seemed suspect to me. I am very familiar with the Army’s stop-loss policy. Under this policy, people are just usually not allowed to leave after only two years of service. Wiki’s summary is pretty good:
Ordinarily, they are required to remain in service - especially if they are deployed in Iraq during their term of service.
So, the fact that DW has claimed to have only served for two years was suspicious. Then I saw this on the BB.com thread: “I was deployed to Iraq for 6 months …”
This is a very short deployment. Of the dozens of guys I know who have been over there, none of them served for only six months. Indeed, in 2003, the minimum deployment was one-year:
http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/terrorism/a/iraqdeployment.htm
So somehow DW has escaped the stop-loss policy and also served an unusually short deployment?
It’s possible, I suppose. But it would be highly unusual.
I would not be surprised if DW either never served, or he he had certain “medical issues” that necessitated his discharge from active duty. In light of his behavior online, it’s really not hard to imagine.
I am sure DW will come up with a bunch of excuses, or whatever. That’s fine. I don’t know for sure his situation or whether he’s misrepresenting his past. But I know for a fact that it’s rather odd that he only served for two years in the military during a time of war; and that he was only deployed for six months.
You look like a poof.

You really need to get a hobby, play a sport, or something like that. Your obsession with me is growing to mammoth proportions.
Anyway, in response to your accusations that I never served or received an other than honorable discharge, among other things:
I’m not allowed to state in the ‘About Me’ section of my blog that I’m a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom? That’s somehow “bragging” in your eyes? I should keep that part of my life a secret? Whatever.
I enlisted for two years, but served in Active Duty for a total of 2 years and 4 months, due to stop-loss. Why do you assume stop-loss didn’t affect me? It did. If it didn’t, I would’ve never been deployed to Iraq because at the time (April 2003) I only had 4-5 months left in my contract before I was originally supposed to E.T.S. and leave the Army. That original E.T.S. date was in September 2003, the same month that I returned to Texas from the sandbox.
I received an honorable discharge after returning to Texas from Iraq and Kuwait, gave back my TA-50 (or what remained of it), and used my remaining terminal leave to go back to NYC in November 2003, rather than my extended E.T.S. date in December 2003, due to stop-loss.
I don’t know what you want me to tell you. I’m not posting a copy of my DD214 with my social security number, address, and other vital information. You can wait from now until Kingdom Come for that.
Go ahead. Keep trying to tarnish what I did for my country. It only serves to motivate me that much more when I’m in the gym.
P.S. - I attached a picture of me in Ba’Qubah, Iraq. It’s from the summer of 2003. I weighed approximately 120-125lbs there.
Quality baby…I don’t give a shit one way or the other about the Deez in Iraq.
The Deez is way more entertaining than Klippy, what crazy gay ass shit will happen next.

I am suspicious too but I know a few guys that have been over and back in a matter of months to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Army and Marine Corp. The difference is they were officers.
It seems less likely for an enlisted man to go over and back so quickly unless he has a specialized skill, which DW probably does not.
Of course he is a huge attention whore and will brag about anything he possibly can.

Far be it from me to defend DW, especially since I can’t stand the cocksucker, but there are many enlisted servicemen that only deploy for 6 months (I’ve never heard of anything less than 6 months). It all depends on what group you are deploying with and what the group’s objectives are. It’s not necessarily common, but it’s far from unheard of.
Also, stop-loss generally only affects certain MOS’s and job classes. There was a stop-loss in affect when my end of service came up and it didn’t affect me. I was still allowed to get discharged.
That being said, the one thing that does strike me as odd is his constant bragging and shoving it in the face. Then again, this is the same guy with countless pictures posted of his mediocre physique and dozens of videos of unimpressive lifts. I will give you the deadlift, Max. You’re an impressive puller. But the rest of your lifts are just average.

That’s the same line that most people use: “Your deadlift is good, but everything else sucks.” Meanwhile, I did a 225 push press @ ~170 bodyweight. That’s 55lbs over my bodyweight.
Also, again, like I asked CaliforniaLaw, when did/do I “brag” about what I did in the Army?

There’s a little chinese girl warming up somewhere with your 1RM DW, 225X1 Jerk Press is nothing special at all…

That wasn’t a “jerk press” or any type of jerk because there was only one bending of the knees, not the two that is done during a jerk. It was a push press. There is no such thing as a “jerk press” anyway.
I never claimed that it was a tremendous feat of strength, but I bet that -you- can’t push press 55lbs more than your bodyweight while standing.
