I don’t post a lot, rarely rate these threads, and don’t waste time in on-line pissing contests. But get real people. This guy is in pretty good shape and currently the people here rate him a 3.1? That is retarded. He is in better shape than 90% of the population and probably 80% of his peers his age. Sure this is a bodybuilding site but what is up with the total DISRESPECT towards people here?
I’m sorry, but at what point did this site adhere to using the general population as our benchmark? We aim a little higher and the scores across the “Rate My Physique” section reflect that. I hope it stays that way so that people can see where we set our goals by the way we score those who desire to post their photos.
Gawd. I just got back from Walmart. If “better than the general population” is actually a goal for anyone here, they can achieve that by simply getting out of bed under their own strength without the aid of a cane, walker or battery operated go cart.
I would hope NO ONE here has a goal of simply being “better than the general population”. Do you even have to lift weights to get to that level?
Why do we have people defending simply being “better than the general population”? On a bodybuilding forum? WTF?[/quote]
I’m currently working towards a Bachelor’s Degree in Writing and Literature. I would never say to my professor (Brian Mooney, A+ guy,) “Well, I can read basic subtext from Everything that Rises Must Converge and I understand the connection between Julian’s mother and the black woman on the bus. I bet 90% of the population can’t do that! Can I have a diploma now?” It’s an insult to my professor, an insult to Flannery O’Connor and an insult to the craft of writing.
It is virtually impossible not to be better than 90% of the population at something. Taking pride in and settling for being slightly better than mediocre in ANYTHING is a great way to set yourself up for a long, hard future of failure.
One backhand for the incessant references about your “whiteness”. It was funny in the title of the thread. After that it was nauseatingly overdone.
Another backhand for even THINKING about AAS at your stage in life and training.
Get your act together and move some serious weight and calories. Steroids are what you use when you’ve reached some MAJOR plateau (as in you’re trying to get to 250lbs from your current 240 and your say, 30 years old and already getting A+'s in nutrition, training and supplementation. Or maybe you never feel the “need” to use them. It’s your call but my question is WHY?
Oh, and enough with the “Hey, I’m crazy-white, a loser and don’t even deserve the lowest rating possible” diatribe. It’s kinda disturbing in a not-so-funny way.

You sound sick. I’m being serious. Go get help. This stopped being funny…hell, it wasn’t ever funny.[/quote]
I agree with you X.
If he’s at all serious I am genuinely concerned for his well-being.
I personally have people very close to me that have been in that very mind-set. It’s nothing to joke about like this (IF it’s a joke at all I mean).
duhast234, if you’re serious, please say so and maybe we can help. If your joking, cut the shit and let the truly depressed get the attention they deserve.
I agree with X on the previous post he did (not the get help one). A lot of people here have lately been saying “your stronger than 90% of the population, congratulations”, or “you look bette than 90% of the population”. Who gives a fuck.
Why No offence to the kid who deadlift 405 w/ are people comparing themselves with the general population. No wonder people aren’t strong or look like shit, cause they are comparing themselves with weak and shitty looking people lol.
Seriously EVERYONE who is saying you look better than blah blah blah needs to up their fucking standards. Immediately. Thank you.

I also just got back from walmart. They rated my physique a 2.0, so you guys give me too much credit. they suggest I just go ahead and die now, that I will never be a bodybuilder.
They also flung sams choice products at me from the shelf, and scolded me for going to walmart and forgetting to bring my mullet. They made me feel…oh so bad about myself. SHould I jump off a bridge, cut off my balls and bleed to death, or start weekly injections of 3000 mg of test ethanate and test cyp a week? Or should I just go and live in the woods?
