BG, I’ll give Lanky this much credit, nobody had to pay his ass to go take down a 5lb cheesteak. He manned up and did it pics and video and all. Now I could really give two shits about your 500Lb GM, and Personally I may even think you most likley could do it. But if there is a person here who backs his shit up with pics or vids, it’s lanky, so he is well within his right to not have to pay you to prove somehting with video that you claimed.
Also you will notice I made no claims in this post, or thread for that matter (other than loving chicken and liver) So any attempts at getting me to post a video or picture of me doing something you think is worthy, will end in failure. I MAY however post video or picture of me doing something awsome in the future, like curing cancer and aids at the same time, or jumping around the world on a pogo stick.

I didn’t know I had a beef with you, but whatever, pile on. I have big shoulders. I don’t have any problem with Lanky - he has a problem with me. That’s his right. I don’t care what he can or cannot do. And I don’t care too much about a big GM or any other lift for that matter.
PL humbled me from the start and there simply is no room there but to compete with yourself, unless of course you’re among the very best in the world. I put this separate b/c I don’t think the average person could grasp it, but every PL knows exactly what I’m talking about.
Therefore, I have NEVER cared what another man could do, and if he could do more, I’m a fan, because I’m a fan of strength. PL’s don’t sit to the side and sneer at each other like beauty contestants at a bodybuilding show. We’re far more likely to cheer a lifter, help him with his equipment, help with spotting, etc. We don’t whine that our quad sweep was better than his and the judging sucked. I peed down KH’s leg in a show of upmanship but when he posted his lifts, I put aside my personal animosity toward him and RESPECTED his accomplishment. I didn’t call him out and ask for a vid of his very respectable lifts.
Yes, Lanky is perfectly within his right to request a vid, as I am perfectly within my right to be utterly indifferent to that request, unless of course I could profit from it. To post such a vid would not accomplish anything. If you, Lanky and all of T-Nation stood in unison and said “we believe you”, you’d only be offering something I did not ask and is of absolutely no value to me - no profit whatsoever. There is simply no commerce in it, emotional or otherwise :)[/quote]
I do not have beef with you BG, I just have fun like you do. I will have some beef with you though, if by beef you mean me and you go try our hand at the 5 lb cheesteak! Thats some beef I’ll have with anyone.
This is my last nice post to you in this thread BTW, my reputation amongst my daisy chain bretheren is too important to me to tarnish by being nice to a grumpy old codger like you.
