So I’m watching this on a train, the guy says “bulletproof vest”, Bronson pulls out the bazooka and at that moment I get a text from someone which appears as a notification across the top of my screen as “Oh Shit!” as he gets blown up.

I was in tears for 15 minutes… these people think I’m nuts haha

Nothing like full PPE when its 120+, right?

Still not as bad as a foundry though. Ugh!

That’s the name of a bar I used to frequent. Not gonna like, I was envious at first.

Ahaha the acting, dialogue and musical cues were all terrible!

“Teeth.”

Greatest “bad” movie ever!

Only his clothes were left burning on the ground in a perfect outline of a human frame?!! That’s how the rest of the gang knew he was dead?!!! Then they all drive away!!! LMAO! Charles Bronson then casually walks away like the ending of a fucking samurai flick!

No IMO. It was too self aware of it’s badness lol. And Rutger Hauer ain’t Charles Fucking Bronson!

I might actually prefer Rutger Hauer to Charles Bronson. I love Charlie but Rutger Hauer is really cool.

I agree about Hobo With A Shotgun though.

Rutger Bauer brings a gravitas to the screen that says to me “you’re going to watch this cinematic cheese ball roll till the end whether you like it or not!”.

Bronson is good, but he doesn’t do that. He just looks like he smells like aqua velva and lucky strikes.

Hauer can have his gravitas. Bronson brings jacked-ness to the screen:

Edit: Granted, this pic is a few years old.

My confession: I feel like asking a couple questions of CT/Jim/Paul or other professionals on here is okay, but requesting start-to-finish diet/exercise/how to wipe your ass with tons of follow up questions is kind of messed up.

Person X: “How does this look?”
CT/JW/PC: “Do this, this and this.”
X: “Okay, but what about this, this, this, that, these, and those?”
“Do this, not that, these, not those.”
X: “What about food?”
“Eat this.”
X: “But how does this chewing schedule look to you?”

OK. He does look like he could deliver a good punch to the face, but I just can’t get past the aqua velva thing. I know, that’s my problem.

Is that Mrs. Robinson he’s about to hulk smash?

The comment about aqua velva and Marlboro reds is a classic.

Thread…

A lot of people claim to eat obnoxious amounts of food, especially in the ‘instagram fitness world’ and I can’t think of a reson why? It’s like they are prouf to eat that many calories.

Two recent examples (and I know that what they claim can indeed be true, it just sounds unlikely to me):

1 A personal trainer I personally know who says in his post, that he has to consume betweens 5000 and 7000 kcal to stay at his weight of 86 kg. I estimate his height somewhere between 1,80-1,85 m. I commented that he should have his thyroid checked and asked if he in fact counted his calories. In his answer he listed his daily/ weekly activities and granted it was quite a bit but I have seen him workout and not to take anything away from him personally but they aren’t that intense.

  1. example two: Kind of succesfull instagram fitness influencer woman (or however you phrase that :smiley: ) Into powerlifting, low 60 kg or under bw, rookie numbers in PL, not really noticeable muscular. Claims to eat at least 3000 kcal to maintain her current bodyweight.

Is it me that is off here or is there a reason people inflate the numbers of kalories they eat? I think Laurence Shahlei (professional strongman; ca. 188 cm height and 160 kg bw) said in a video he eats about 6000-7000 kcal a day, if I remember correctly. How can it be that the personal trainer with half the bodyweight and about 1/4 the working weight on his strength exercises eats the same amount?

Rant finished.

It could just be that they’re not properly tracking and just throwing out bad estimates… I don’t know. Most people I know who claim or are known for eating an allegedly monstrous amount are skinny people who, when you actually observe them, eat almost nothing, they’re just constantly grazing and vastly over estimate what they’ve eaten.

People employ hyperbole 100% of the time.

I deadlifted 20,000lbs once. Not at the same time of course, but overall. No sumo tho.
