Thank you for stating what I was thinking, but couldn’t articulate clearly enough.
Wowza, what happened to this thread? I go to work for a few days and you guys are misbehaving again. There’s too much Testosterone flying around in here. Although that may not be such a bad thing, especially here.
Not to make light of things, but have you guys seen “The AnimalPak Guy”'s hamstrings in some photos? Whoa, many a fantasy has filled my mind just looking at the photos…schwing! It’s a purely visual thing.

Apparently, you are going to see what you want, but I fail to make the connection as to how chastising Vroom for being pedantic is acting pompous.

How about using a word such as chastising, as if he were a 4 year old that was just caught picking his nose.

C’mon, Vroom - you are pedantic. It is part of your charm. ;>
Anyway, not that big of a deal - sorry if I hurt your feelings.

That is quite valiant of you - but Vroom is a big boy, he can handle himself with a word like ‘chastise’.

Oh and one other point - Amsterdam Animal can spew forth all kinds of invective, including instructing people to go ‘fuck themselves’, and this never trips your Pollyanna alert for uncouth behavior…
…but I use a word like ‘chastise’ and suddenly you start squealing about proper manners?
Be serious.

Man, just when I thought I was out…
For the record, I did not tell people to go fuck themselves, I told you to go fuck yourself.

hahahahahahahaha this shit is great. Whoever came up with “The Journey” posts is a fucking genious…I’m laughing my ass off. Check this:
This girl I?ve been seeing, she?s been on my case about taking her out to eat. Dinner and dancing. I haven?t been with her long, but her birthday is coming up and she wants it to be special. I told her I?m dieting, but she won?t back off–she’s tough and I like that. ?Just sit there and watch me eat then,? she says. Now tell me, what the fuck is wrong with that? Am I supposed to just sit there with a grin on my face and my thumb in my ass? Anyway, I try to explain to her what dieting means, put it in terms she?d understand. I ask her why she always goes out with her bag. ?It?s got all my valuables in there.? Well, when I go out, I carry something too?a cooler and what goes in it is valuable to me. That cooler is my lifeline. When I?m out longer than two hours, I take a cooler with me. OK. Now depending on what?s she?s wearing, she?ll take one bag or another. Me? Depending on how long I?m out, I?ll take my small or large cooler."
“My girl is paying the price because of that difference? Her plans, her expectations on this night, her birthday, were swept aside? No dinner, no dancing. In fact, she had to order takeout for dinner. I offered to pay, but she wouldn?t take it. ?Fuck off, you asshole. You were supposed to take me out,? she said. Yeah, this girl?s got some fire? I like that. But all that aside, here she is, gutting it out, staying by my side. True, she?s pissed, but she?s trying to make it work.”
My sides are hurting from laughing at someone this pathetic. And can he not afford a shirt without a hole in it? hahahahaha. Oh that’s right, his only marketable skill is dancing around on stage in a thong for the pleasure of other men. He’s about one sponsorship away from being homeless. Or so they would have you believe.
This narcissist fits somewhere on the “hard core” scale between Richard Simmons and the creepy guy who just confessed to killing the Ramsey kid. There’s a difference between obsession and just not being able to handle anything more than a diet and going to the gym once a day. What a complete joke.
bwahahahahahahhahahaahahhahahahahahahahaahahahhahahahaha
bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha
bwahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
sorry girfriend i can’t go out tonight i have to eat you know i am an animal and hardcore and dedicated i have a competition in a couple of months where i will be parading in a bikini in front of hundreds of gay men who worship me,i dreamed of that my entire life that is my purpouse for living,i am an animal i am hardcore shut the fuck up girlfriend and stay home with me and smell my anabolic farts instead of going out to have a great time.
[/quote]
i think maybe you should try competing before you start talking shit about the dedication it takes to do so. if your the kind of person who would rather go out and get fucked up all the time then thats your choice, im not going to judge you. a person who is in his last few weeks of dieting cant afford to fuck up his nutrition by going out and getting hammered.
Back in the day, I wonder how Arnold and company handled their day to day training with regular living. Seems like those guys had a great time when they weren’t in the gym and most of the time when they were.

There also didn’t seem to be the same stigma attached back then. They may have had to deal with the “big equals dumb as shit” thing, but no one was going out of their way to label any guy with arms around 20" as being “insecure”, “overly narcissistic” or “downright flaming”. People today (the general public) actually seem to be pissed sometimes when they see a guy with more muscle than average. Where I am sure there used to be awe or wonder, now there is also plenty of pure hate and degredation. That can change just how much “fun” walking around being the biggest guy in the room can be. Anyone who doesn’t believe that can take its toll or change your mindset hasn’t dealt with it.

You sound like a piece of shit to me. Life is about accomplishments. Id much rather tell my grandkids about how I could bench press 400 pounds than to tell them about how i had 1000 friends.
Hate to break up the debate here.
But has anyone heard verification that mcgrath (wrath from the ads unless i’m seriously the fuck out to lunch here) is out of the running for competing this year because of a shoulder infection? read it on milos’ website today and hadn’t seen anything else about it - this seems like the thread where the people with the answers would be.
and for the record on the great debate - personally i’m fully in awe of the discipline required by those who compete in this sport to reach contest readiness and don’t think its a waste of time at all. the animal pak ads wail.
There’s some very smart men on this site which is why I am amazed this thread got so far. Believing that these guys actually write these articles is about as true as Branch Warren and Gustavo Baddell only using Cell-tech and Anator-P70 on their quest to 300 solid pounds. As Prof X said no publicity is bad publicity. Look at how many people have posted on this thread talking about their products and sponsorees. It’s a marketing gimmick just like Ronnie with BSN, just like Phil Heath with Met-rx and just like Ruhl with Nutrex. Ask these guys at an expo if they really write those journals and they say sure they do. BECAUSE THEY GET PAID TO.

You happen to be on the other extreme. I have been to a few places few Americans will ever go to. I still put a lot of thought into my training. It is simply a part of my life. The guy you are speaking of in those photos is getting ready for a contest. That takes a little more focus than simply randomly training.
It is also not a constant as most competitors prepare for about 4 months. During those four months, there is more cardio and greater attention to diet. That doesn’t go on the entire year.
To hear you speak, I basically wasted my time getting an education because I could have partied harder and had more stories to tell. I have plenty to tell grandkids without losing my focus.
While we all may not put that much priority on contests when it comes to bodybuilding, the same focus displayed is the same focus that got me through finals, mid terms, and years of school. It is about priorities and one man’s passion shouldn’t be looked down upon simply because it exists in his life and not in your own.
I personally don’t put “doing a bodybuilding contest” at the top of my list of things I need to accomplish in life. I find that a little shallow if that is a man’s GREATEST concern. However, I still train hard and have taken it farther than most people will even if I am not in the single digits as far as my body fat percentage. Some would call that obsessive…and they would also be missing the point.[/quote]
That was a great post. A lot of people tend to take things to one extreme or the other, often ignoring the fact that two things aren’t mutually exclusive.
This thread sucks, I can?t believe I sat here and read the whole thing. Seriously though I think every one here understands the level of dedication needed to obtain the look these people (Wrath) have achieved . Why is that even being brought up then? Why cant you train hard , eat lots and still have a family . Am I not hardcore enough because I have a child and a wife to look after ?
I train as hard as I do so I can come home safe every night . Maybe some day I will try my hand at the stage but its not a priority for me right now. I have to make sure my kid eat and has clothes , my wife has a husband that can take the time to lay on the couch with her after a hard day at work. If it mean I have to wake up at 0430 while everyone is asleep to hit the gym then Ill do it and wont complain one bit.
Now Ill admit that I?m not a writer (I?m even using MSWORD to type this out), I don?t enjoy reading the journal?.. so I don?t read it.
Its really that easy , I don?t enjoy something so I don?t do it .If someone posts a thread about golf , I don?t read that either . I don?t bitch and whine about it I just don?t read it .
BTW this thread sucks and I hate golf
BTW this is just my personal take, replace family with career, education, ballons .
