Can you please direct me to them?
I’m big wraps on the Prof. Most people in other forums who rack up nearly 20,000 posts are generally duds with nothing more to do in their life. See Sherdog for an example.
Prof X had a definite credibility on this site, possibly more than some of the authors in members eyes. He even made it onto the Wikipedia page, so he obviously knew his stuff and stuck by his convictions.
All I’m asking is can someone point me towards a photo. I’ll take his word for it that he is fucking enormous. It is just out of interest. No calling out by any stretch of the imagination.

not that it should matter and it has already been said before but x has posted pics before when on occasion he takes his profile off of private.
RESPECT!!![/quote]
You’re right. It doesn’t matter. I’ll take his word for it. It was only out of interest more than anything.

They are in his profile. It is set to private. Ask him to open it up and maybe he will.

I can’t speak for “the masses”, but I listen to him because he intuitively arrived at an overall training mindset that very closely matched the one that I intuitively arrived at before I knew he existed and he has much more experience with it than I do.
Think what you want about the guy. He ain’t perfect and I’ve already said he didn’t handle everything the way I would have, but he has an infectious passion for training. He also took a lot of time with guys who demonstrated a bit of commitment and desire to actually make some real progress beyond the latest girly boy fads.
My very first exchange with him here was confrontational. Instead of whining and pouting I recognized that he had the seniority in these forums by several years and gave him the benefit of the doubt. I found that he was a smart guy who I could learn from. I do not engage in ad hominem thinking. A resource is a resource and even if he had called me names every time I was addressed (which he certainly did not) I still would have listened when he talked about training.
EDIT: I also have seen his pics and while he’s not ready to place in the Olympia he’s bigger than 99% of the people you’ll see in any gym.

Hang on. Aren’t we in a thread dedicated to a guy who never posted a pic?
No, we are not.
Point me to the thread buddy. I’m not calling him out by any stretch of the imagination but I would truly be interested to see the pics.
It’s about time. The thread is finally complete.
In the words of a great Queenslander “Please Explain.”

It’s not a quality Professor X thread unless someone asks to see his pics.
Prof X has been the biggest influence in my training… I have met few people in circles like this that have his passion and dedication. Thank you for your work in giving this site the hard ass attitude it has been lacking.
