Professor X had a few simple messages. From my reading, here’s the order of frequency:
Eat big to get big, even if it means gaining some fat.
Listen to all the advice you can and find out what works for you.
Don’t eschew machines.
Although some people preferred a different approach for their own reasons, X was not wrong.
He repeated these for years, in any thread where they seemed to be needed. The fact that his frustration with others came through…a LOT…should not detract from the importance of the message. In fact, his dedication to “spreading the word” (as opposed to those who just “give up on newbies”) is admirable. He kept “on message” for years.
He never kissed ass. He never spoke up for Biotest (or any supplements, that I can recall), but the Level in his profile makes it clear that he supported the site with his dollars as well as with his presence.
When he left the site, he didn’t do so by saying “This place sucks now.” or “I’ve found a better place to hang.” or “I can’t take you people anymore.” He made it clear that he was making changes–in his life and thinking–that could take him far away…maybe forever. It was a classy departure.
And if one-tenth of one percent of the readers of his posts took his advice to heart, then he did more for the community of bodybuilding at large than JohnnyBlaze or I (or many others) will ever do.

Perfect.
If I recall correctly, ProfX was consistently fighting AGAINST single-mindedness in the realm of weight training. He never once stated that a certain type of training doesn’t work, or that anyone was stupid for working out a certain way. He simply stated his opinion on what has worked for him, and what appears to work best for others, from visible proof and experience.
People can feel free to be opposed to his brashness, however he was never the bigot, and he spoke more of ‘do what works for you, not what somebody else tells you will work’ than anybody else.
Blaze and Jack I’m feeling way too much love and “well I’m not really saying that” statements. Plus all these silly toilet turd references, and movie satire type of things. Can we please get back to the personal attacks like the first few posts?
Blaze fuck it stop saying you don’t care if people want you here or not. Get some EGO(a little never hurt) make some out of the way declaration like “everybody wants me here more than you” or something, and personally attack lamejack maybe about how can a person brag more about using AAS then their performance.
LameJack, please don’t harp on people making fun of your age or lack of progress from roids, us that don’t know you…DON’T CARE…And leave your poodle’s stones out of it, we don’t know about dog genitalia as well as you. The first few “you don’t have the intelligence blah blah blah” posts were good, but the last few just has me feeling all emotional.

Show me where I “harped”. I don’t care what people make fun of.

Forgive my rudeness, but in my opinion, fuck Professor X. This place is better off without another huge ego / superiority complex type of person always rippin’ on people.
You are a fucking tool. I don’t know if you are just stupid, or if you had an accident when you were younger that involved your head and a fence post.
You rip on him, and then bitch about him ripping on other people.
Is it okay for you, but not ProfX?
I am pretty sure he’s forgotten more about BBing, and getting big than you have ever learned.
I have never seen you help anyone. How about you go fuck yourself?
To the OP - ProfX got out of the military and is starting over. He may be back - he may not.

Damn Jackie!
Ya’ll certainly shared quite a bit of manlove didn’t you! I’ve only seen that much emotion in girls sticking up for their bf’s so far! You old fogies really teach us something new every day.

ASSJACK - all you contribute to this site is your loudmouthed, bigoted opinion, dishing out insults to people and I don’t give a flying fuck what you think either. You appear to be one of those Antisocial Personality types who enjoys conflict just for the sake of conflict.
I think you’re just so worked up about my comment about Prof X because you’re his boyfriend.
You don’t know shit about me, so shove your tough words up your loose, overpenetrated ass. 'Nuff said.

You should see him when he gets his hands on a washing machine in rental houses.
This thread gets lamer and lamer by the moment. Thank goodness T-Shaw posted, and Bauer for just blessing this thread with his awesomeness of the practice squad.
The rest of the train wreck posts are just boring intarweb cock measuring.

Actually, he did suggest that I try the Metabolic Drive bars. I can only speak for myself, though. I don’t if he ever referred or suggested to anyone else.

Oh little PGA, you’re just mad because RJ hates you, and you’re just overcome with jealousy of my practice squad dominance. It’s okay, nobody’s perfect, especially you. Astonishingly, you appear almost moderately intelligent compared to some of the half-wits in this thread.

You need to learn to only speak when spoken to.

Between your poodles “stones” and the nickname you gave me I see whats on your mind.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that of the thousands of Prof X posts I’ve read 90% have been informative and constructive. He’s got almost 17500 posts! If only 10% of his posts were constructive, he’d have more constructive posts than most people have in total. Nobody can say he wasn’t an asset to this board. You may disagree with his method or dislike his personality, but when looking at the actual content of his posts he was a solid contributor.
As far as the argument on this thread, I’m all for disagreement and debate, but it has gone from debating Prof X issues to just calling each other names. I suggest getting back on topic as you are both just wasting your time at this point.

I try. Google comes in handy when I need to post a semi-intelligent one. That method rains supreme with some of the more “intelligent” posers on these forums. Plagiarism runs rampant. I’ve read almost word for word Google grabs. It’s comical.
