First of all Prof X has shared his qualifications as well as his physique photos. He is fully capable of standing up for himself so I won’t get deep into it but he has far more credibility on these issues than you do.

You have made some outrageous claims such as your former 20" biceps (now 13") but you have dodged providing any proof for a while now. Posting pics of your former huge self would go along way to establishing credibility of your own.

Until then I (and most others) will view your posts about the secret Naval training system and expanded ribcage with a healthy of skepticism, after all this is the internet and it is full of bullshitters.

As I said before I wish you well with your physical health issues, but when it comes to everything else I wish you would put up of shut up.

I would love to eat my words on this one but I do not think you ever had anything approaching muscular 20" arms.

I don’t know what the rest of your life is like and I also wish you the best with your health issues, but you are going to shrink to the size of a calorie restricted sideshow freak if you keep stressing like this over what amounts to a relatively meaningless internet debate.

If you know the truth of everything you’re saying who cares whether anyone else acknowledges it or not? I don’t know whether you’re fulla shit or not. Don’t care and it’s not my point.

I respect Professor X and when he talks about training I listen, but I’m not about to hyperventilate myself if he and I got into a debate about something like whether rib cage expansion is possible or not.

hey you’re right; i can’t prove that i had 20" arms in the past, or how fast i built them. but i’m still devoting myself to proving that i can do it now, so you should have patience and wait until i post results pics before saying anything more. you can’t have the asnwers all at once, so stop insisting that i’m wrong simply because i can’t walk up your driveway to show you the results i’ve already obtained thus far.

not only will i post pics of myself in 2 months showing 6 months training results, but i’m also going to post a pic of me in the 2XL trenchcoat i just got that is already tight on me, assuming i can still wear it at that point. if that’s too long for your impatient ass, too fucking bad. i’m not doing it for you; i’m doing it for me. i get off on this kind of sadistic shit.

Myth number 42:

“You can easily go from a 42 inch chest and 13 inch arms to a tight 2XL trench coat in 6 months”

We all know you are full of shit. You claim your arms went from 20" back to 13" and you don’t have a single picture of yourself with big arms?

You make outrageous claims all over the website and now you are claiming pullovers expanded your ribcage? I don’t believe it.

I think you are slightly touched in the head and I hope you get your physical and mental health issues under control and I hope the naive guys that come to this website don’t listen to you.

the angle of rib articulation is permanently altered, in a manner not consistent with natural growth, and the cartilage is permanently stretched, in a manner not consistent with natural growth. my chiropractor wasn’t the only doctor to point that out to me, and it was in my mid-20’s. it was pointed out to me again when i was x-rayed in ‘06 after my second car accident, and again in 05’ for chest pains and an unrelated back injury.

am i supposed to believe all you fucktards, or am i supposed to believe numerous qualified medical professionals, looking at different x-rays at different times in my adult life? i see all sorts of speculations about why it isn’t possible, but no qualified medical testimonies.

professor X still hasn’t told us his qualifications, despite all his implications. how is he qualified to determine whether or not ribcage expansion is possible? is he an orthopedic surgeon with a clinical knowledge of what is or isn’t a natural angle of rib articulation, or any other medical professional qualified to make that assessment? what exactly is his degree, what exactly is his speciality, and how does it qualify him to tell anyone that ribcage expansion isn’t possible? i see all sorts of political maneuvering on his part to try to make me look bad, but i don’t see how he’s professionally qualified to tell me i’m wrong about ANYTHING i’ve said. i haven’t seen any hardcore evidence that ribcage expansion isn’t possible (or that i don’t have such a condition), nor have i seen any proof that it’s impossible to gain 10 pounds a month consistently for a period of 1 year or more, resulting in gargantuan size. nor can anyone here prove that i didn’t achieve such a thing in my past. nor can anyone prove that i’m not in the process of doing it again, cuz i haven’t yet posted result pics that would give anyone an accurate idea of what’s going on in my life. absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

whether or not i’m a case of authentic ribcage expansion is irrelevant to this discussion. i may not be providing “proofs” that ribcage expansion is real, but no one here is providing any solid proof that it isn’t possible. i see all sorts of bullshit claims of medical expertise here, but nothing to back it up. all i’m doing is speaking from personal experience, which is a hell of a lot better than some asshole telling me that it takes a minimum of 10 years to get 20" arms without roids, which i know to be absolutely false, both by personal experience, epxeriences of people in my own family, and historical examples of natural bodybuilders doing it in less time.

some people DO shit, while others just SHOVEL shit, and i see a lot of stable-hands here. you can all paint it gold, but it’s still just bullshit. you all say “prove it all right now”, but i give you a more difficult challenge: “prove me wrong”. none of you can, so you should all shut the fuck up now.

You have some serious issues. I have mentioned what I do many times on this forum. In fact, I am getting pretty tired of being challenged so many times any time one of you fuckers gets your panties in a wad because you either get pissed because some people listen to what I write or any time you get told you’re wrong about something.

I am a DMD. I also currently specialize in oral surgery and even prosthetics simply because the base I am at pretty much lets me do what I am most interested in and further trains me in my areas of interest. That means I have more experience with biology and even bone surgery (with relation to the mandible) than most people. I wrote that in this thread already…but of course you missed it while you were in the middle of another rant.

I can’t wait for another outburst/psychotic break/post from you.

if you want to argue that ribcage expansion isn’t possible, talk to ellington darden. i’m sure that he could provide you with all sorts of documentation, or refer you to someone who can.

as for your beef with me about my training claims from other threads, let it go if you don’t really care. telling me i’m full of shit is just going to make you look bad when i post results pics over the next year or two. whether or not you look at them, other people will, and remember the dumbass flames you posted.

I haven’t seen anything else you’ve posted that I can remember and from what I’m reading I would remember. I haven’t been involved in this debate either, but all I can say is if your credibility here means anything to you at all you better deliver a truckload of goods with smacktalk like this chief.

Ellington Darden is a PhD not an MD or any other title that involves invasive procedures on patients and includes even one dissection of a corpse or prescription of medicine. There is a rather large difference between the two. Beyond that, if he had proof of ribcage expansion, you would have easily presented it. If you believe that name dropping somehow makes you correct when you haven’t even produced a quote, you make me wonder why you are…trying so half assed.

look, i’m not going to post my private medical records in a public forum. as a doctor, you have no business asking or implying that i should do that. until you confirm your identity and credentials, i’m not going to believe one way or the other anything you have to say.

as for “proof”, look at numerous before and after pics of old-school bodybuilders; you can see the difference in ribcage width in a lot of them. people stopped doing vacuum poses for a reason, you know. all the guys who used them did chest expansion exercises, which most modern bodybuilders don’t do because they believe that ribcage expansion is a “myth”. some myth…

i also found stuff online that supports the fact that expansion exercises are used to treat mild cases of pectus excavatum, and i saw before and after pics proving their effectiveness. if it’s possible to make a mildly sunken chested person look normal with such exercises, then it’s possible to expand a normal ribcage enough to make a man appear larger chested.

here’s an excerpt from the article, “Blasting Chest Development To New Levels”, by rick streb:

"From an anecdotal standpoint, I believe it works because I have seen it. From a physiological standpoint, it stands to reason that it’s possible because bone is a very active tissue constantly being remade and can change depending on the stresses placed upon it.

Pullovers have even been used by doctors to successfully treat mild cases of pectus excavatum (sunken chest). All would agree the most dramatic improvements are possible by those whose bones are still ossifying (changing from cartilage to bone). Young bodybuilders, typically those under about 21 years of age, can significantly increase their rib cage size with consistent training specific for this area. The best rib cage expander I know is the pullover."

apparently this guy consulted a physician before writing that article, seeing as how he mentions pectus excavatum therapy.

a quote from “Classic Rib-Cage Development”, by Ellington Darden:

“Muscle, tendon, cartilage, and other connective tissues are more easily stretched and expanded during the developmental years. Thus, a teenager can more readily enlarge his rib cage than can an adult. This is not to say that rib-cage expansion can’t be done after maturity. It just takes more concentrated work.”

i asked Dr. Darden about it, and he said that he didn’t know of any documentation of exercise-induced ribcage expansion, and that it was only his personal experience. now as a PhD, why would he say that it works if he had some medical knowledge that ribcage expansion is physiologically impossible? he’s not some dumb cracker who believes in magic elves. he was a competitive bodybuilder, he worked for nautilus for 40 years, he’s written dozens of books, he’s trained and documented the results of hundreds of individuals, and he’s seen numerous examples of such structural modification, both in his test subjects and fellow competitors. you don’t need an x-ray to see several inches of ribcage expansion in either a teen or adult trainer. according to what i’ve been reading at his site, his new book shows before and after pics of some adult trainers who visibly show evidence of a widened ribcage as a result of training. purchasers of the book have even commented on it in his forums.

i don’t have to personally “prove” anything to you, because it’s something you should be able to verify via your own education and research. if you really are a doctor, then you have access to all sorts of information that i don’t have access to. the burden of proof isn’t on the layman, it’s on the person claiming credentialed authority. it’s neither my obligation nor my place to offer clinical proof of anything.

as for the rest of you naysayers, read some books, do some internet searches, talk to your physicians, and learn to think for yourselves. believing that this flaming fucktard is a doctor without verifying his identity and credentials is like believing in the easter bunny. you all demand proof of a personal testimonial from me, but you don’t ask this moron for proof of a claim to educated authority? what the fuck is wrong with you people? you must all believe in magic elves or some shit…

192

Aw Geeez, here’s another one:

A couple quick things:

I’m just going to pre-corroborate what he’s going to say. I don’t see anywhere where Professor X asked or even remotely implied that your personal medical records should be posted anywhere. That’s not even his style.

Second, you are going to collapse in a whimpering heap if you don’t calm down for your own good.

Third, nobody’s perfect, including Professor X. He doesn’t do everything the way I would, but he has a long reputation here along with a huge posting history for all to see. Whatever else you may say about him I’ve never seen anything to indicate I should suspect he’s a liar.

We’re talking about the possibility of rib cage expansion here, not a thermo-nuclear holocaust. You’re a smart guy, but you’re treating this point as if your children’s future depended on it.

You really are bat-shit crazy, aren’t you? You want me to post my driver’s license and a copy of my degree on the internet? Exactly how stupid would that be? That is the ONLY way anyone you don’t know would somehow prove their credentials to you unless you knew them personally. With that in mind, you should be asking for the driver’s licenses of every author and contributor of this web site. That would be the ONLY way to tell whether every single one of them is lying or not about their credentials. According to you, everyone is crazy if they don’t ask for this info. How do you know that Ellington Darden is truly a PhD? Have you seen his degree?

No? Well then, he must be lying.

You and anyone else who has such a hard time believing what I do for a living after being on this board for the past six years can believe what you want to believe. Why would I risk that level of identity theft on a web site where YOU aren’t even using your real first and last name with middle initials?

In fact, you first.

Post your full name, address and telephone number and THEN you can complain about how much info everyone else isn’t willing to give.

Your move.

I accidentally clicked on this and immediately one part stuck to me, I saw preacher curls and lower biceps in the same line.

So… my dick nearly exploded.

But, I had the good sense to read the essentials of a post, the title and the first sentence. So then I realized you’re doing myths, and I felt much better.

Anyways.

you are one dumbass motherfucker, you know that? you fucked yourself on this one, big-boy.

ANYONE can verify your claim to credentials with nothing more than the legal name under which you claim to be practicing, by going to The American Medical Association’s website and typing it in. i’m pretty sure that if anyone types in Ellington Darden’s name, it’ll produce his credentials, and possibly any complaints that have been made against him.

if i go there and type in my RN brother’s name or my surgeon uncle’s name, i’ll definitely find a list of their credentials. i haven’t been there yet, but who knows; maybe it even provides pictures.

for those who want to know more about protecting yourself against this type of identity fraud, here’s a webpage with more information:

this man has an ethical and legal responsibility to provide the legal name under which he practices medicine when passing himself off as a doctor, assuming that he really is one. he should not be trusted under any circumstances until he has provided verifiable information.

until someone can find a picture with his credential information that matches the ones he’s posted in his profile, he should not be trusted. even then he shouldn’t be trusted, because he made repeated attempts to dodge identity and accreditation confirmation. this is a very serious legal issue here, and anyone making bullshit comments about this man’s “reputation” or “credibility” needs to reconsider.

i’m not asking anyone else here to post any information which could be used to commit identity theft; i’m not even asking anyone to post their legal name, UNLESS they claim to be a licensed physician, nurse, therapist, whatever. if you’re claiming to be any of the above and you can’t do that, you have no business posting on this site.

When he’s my doctor I’ll worry about it. He’s not trying to diagnose or treat anybody here or even giving medical advice. How is he ethically and especially legally obligated to anything?

You’re losin it dude. Seriously, I don’t know what you need, but I hope you find it before we hear about you on the evening news as some nutcase who shot up his place of employment or something. I was viewing you as a bit quirky, but harmless to this point, but you have some serious anger issues.

What the hell is wrong with you? I am not giving out prescriptions for Vicodin on this site so what are you talking about? I am NOT getting paid to be here so what the fuck are you talking about? The day I get P A I D to answer medical questions is the day I have any kind of “responsibility” to give my real name on this web site. Why? Because that would also be the day I could get S U E D by dumb motherfuckers like you. Why would I need to give my real name on this site just to prove something to you? After that happens, then what? There happens to be one of you challenging me on something every month or so. That means I expose myself and all of my personal info for what reason? What good would that do for me?

I don’t care what you want to believe. Your thoughts on my license to practice mean nothing at all. What makes you look even more stupid…is that I’m not lying and have never given anyone a reason to think that I was. Either I am exactly what I say I am…or that is the biggest and longest (in terms of years) troll job on the internet. I posted here when I graduated. At least three members here have my home phone number. You might want to find another target, kid, because you are looking pretty damn bad right now.

When he’s my doctor I’ll worry about it. He’s not trying to diagnose or treat anybody here or even giving medical advice. How is he ethically and especially legally obligated to anything?

You’re losin it dude. Seriously, I don’t know what you need, but I hope you find it before we hear about you on the evening news as some nutcase who shot up his place of employment or something. I was viewing you as a bit quirky, but harmless to this point, but you have some serious anger issues.[/quote]

I guarantee he didn’t walk into his last doctor’s office and ask for a photo ID and proof of credentials before he was treated. Does anyone want to place money on it?
