As for the Prof, well the man was an articulate bastard that had as many people admire him as hate him.
Oh you did NOT just call Professor X “articulate!” You racist bastard.
Yes, I know. Cheap shot.
But “he speaks so well. I mean he really speaks well!”

LMFAO!

do you people have real friends to rely on for life’s twists and turns?
So having real friends means someone would never be inclined to share experiences or thoughts with an online community?
no, but it means that doing so is super gay.

I didn’t notice until you wrote this, but what did happen texasguy’s first profile?
I stumbled upon T-Nation a little over a year ago. One of the first posts that I read was written by Professor X. He wrote about trying to force your body in two directions at the same time and how this will cause slower progress as far as muscle growth. I can be hard headed at times, but his statement clicked. It suddenly made perfect sense to me what I was doing wrong in my own training.
I embarked on an all out bulk cycle and went from 220 lbs. to 260 lbs. in a little over a year. I was amazed by the amount of muscle that I gained. Some even accused me of taking steroids. I just smiled and thought of how lucky I was to find T-Nation. I have read and learned a great deal from the writings of Professor X.
I could care less how big he is, or how much he lifts. What I do know is that his words have helped me immeasurably. He has both my respect and admiration. Thank You Professor X and good luck on your new endeavor.
If someone proves you wrong it might be easier to just not post and in the future avoid something like this. Anyone who has enough free time to write something taking upwards of 14 seconds is a loser I guess.
Christ DS007 what is up your ass today?
Perhaps you should focus this rage on something constructive. If your not a fan of this particular thread GO AWAY.
Your jealousy is embarrassing.

Oh well, everybody sees things a little differently I guess. If something like that happened to me, I’d still come to T-Nation out of habit, and since it was on my mind, possibly make a post about it. My intent wouldnt be “I’d better go post this right now!”, but it would likely happen nonetheless.
Then again, I’ve never really worried about being called super gay. heh.
Btw, 40 lbs in a year is awesome, even if only half of that was muscle. Congrats, guy who did that. Maybe I need me some bulking one of these days.

Please remove X’s dick from your mouth. Give me a cortisone shot and 8 weeks, champ. Nice research, though. You must have as much of a real life as the Prof, right? How about I spot the Prof 200 pounds on the bench. Then see if I do not out total him on snach, CJ, squat, dead.
Before it was outlift him in any lift in street clothes. Now that it has been exposed that you can’t bench shit because of cough an injury, you move the goalposts to snatch, clean and jerk, etc.
You sir are a keyboard warrior.

DS 007, lifting wates as a competition is something somebody chooses to do…
Claiming that you can lift more weight is silly. Just because who really gives a fuck?
Everybody starts somewhere, and everybody is at different levels. How the hell do you know that a person is even going for max strength? How do you know that you dont have more training years the the Prof?
From what I have seen the people who can move real weight are the last people to make a comment like yours…[/quote]
I’m going to make an assumption here. I’ll assume that by 'wates" you meant weights. Is that a fair assumption or no?
In any event, my main issue with X is his florid farewell. While, I’ll grant you, they are entertaining as shit, these types of posts always indicate - at least to me - that the poster thinks a whole hell of a lot of himself. Usually way too much. So I like to respond to this type of nonsense with the same kind of bombast and self-aggrandizement that’s usually displayed by the original poster.
X is a great example of a guy totally lacking humility. And it seems to me he’s missing JUST the kind of humility that competition at a high level will give you. Because to even compete (at anything) at the highest levels of anything (from Chinese Checkers to Olympic sports) you are going to take your fair share of beatings along the way.
While my posts are intentionally boastful, his are consistently telling of his overinflated idea of himself as some kind of hero. “Most people would not do the things I’ve done.” “People fear me because I’m so massive in a radically heee-yoooooge kind of way.” HE can say this stuff, but he’s the first to jump on someone for displaying the same kind of arrogance.
But forgive me for not worshipping at the alter of the great and noble X. Sorry that I think he’s full of shit. You don’t. You (and most others) think I’m full of shit. Wonderful. That’s what makes the board go 'round.

To an extent, yes. I think what he’s saying is that if this is place you come to share your real thoughts and monumental life experiences - as opposed to with real flesh and blood people that you have an actual relationship with - then you probably have some real problems, ala X.
so when is DS and Texasguy going to have that gay porn video? I’d watched it.

I want to steal your avatar just so that I can steal that word to use with it. In fact, it seems to enhance many of your posts with an eerieness.

Writers have done this for a long, long time. There is a difference between relying on an internet forum as one’s sole source of social support (say that five times fast) and writing reasonably well thought out, non-conversational posts that are meant to be written works. It doesn’t matter that they are posted on an internet forum as opposed to be published in Reader’s Digest.
X didn’t say “My grandmother died - hold me!” He created a written work, an essay, that addressed the topic and shared it with us. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.
