Natedogg - Your mind may be filled with brilliant knowledge that will help many, but as you’re not 220lbs at 5% bodyfat, you must now follow these guidelines, as I have in recent months:
You must stop training and giving advice immediately, as those that have no f@cking clue have told you you’re useless,
You must turn in your Testosterone T-Shirt, along with a formal apology to all on this forum for not being 220lbs at 5% bodyfat, and still posting useful information anyhow,
You must remove yourself from society, so that the truly huge and ripped people of over 220lbs in this world don’t have to be disgusted with your unclean, malnourished and unmanly, festering physique which they have advised us you have obviously done no work whatsoever on,
You must join me in the 'New Order of T-Outcasts", situated in the higlands of the Himalayas, where we will pray to TC, Chris and the T-Gang to bring us salvation and a bottle of Androsal and Tribex, that we may, perchance, redeem ourselves in some way. It must also be added that you must abstain from any contact with women, as they will most assuredly violently chunder at the meer sight of your 15 year-old, kid-brother like body - you must, therefore, satisfy your meagre manly desires with the Wild Tibetan Mountain Yaks that roam the area. (And yes, I can give you a few pointers on that…)
Nate Dogg, I will be living on campus this summer so I will be there on those days. Even with access to all the facilities you would still not be able to get into barbell club, which is where you should train. I could get you in though. Don’t forget that there are the “festivities” in Buckhead as well, if you’re into clubbing that is. How much free time do you have?
It seems as though some of the posts have taken Nate Doggy Dogg’s original purpose out of context. I am under the impression that the Doggfather just wanted to give his fellow T-Peeps the opportunity to see what he looked like. Nate Dogg is a popular guy on the forum, and practically runs the joint…if this were Cheers–where Everybody Knows Your Name–the Doggfather would be like Cliff, Norm, Woody or any of those guys that was a regular. No where did Mr. Dogg state that he was the be-all, end-all epitome of T-Men. He simply stated that the photo you were about to see–if you so chose to do so, no one was holding the proverbial sawwed-off shotgun to your noggin–was taken a while back and my boy’s made some changes since then.
Well, here is my honest opinion. The chest has some potential and the sick pack is showing. The arms are far too skinny and the lats appear to be non-existant (perhaps due to angle). Now to the Nate dogg fan club, don’t start flaming me por favor. I think this posting needs some honest feedback other than that of a bunch of yes men. Nate, I think you need to put on some mass, but that’s just my personal opinion. Good luck with whatever you want to achieve.
Like Timbo said, I posted the photo so people could see who I am. I’m sure many of you have wondered what the person looks like that is posting. And if you don’t care for this post, then don’t read it! How simple is it to skip over this post? I’ve never said I was the ultimate T-man. And I never said that I didn’t want to improve myself. It’s been a constant struggle for me to gain size. I don’t mind constructive criticism at all. In fact, if someone were to say, “Hey Nate Dogg, I see that your arms are small, have you tried…” I’m down with that. Instead, my “fellow” T-men have just said, “You’re small! Your arms are too small. You have no right to give advice.” What kind of advice is that? What kind of T-man are you to even act like that? If some of you are so high and mighty, why don’t you give me some suggestions related to training so I can make better gains?
Also, I don’t have the same goals as some of you. Sure, maybe you want to be the biggest guy in the world. I’d rather have an asthetically pleasing physique that is functional. Meaning, I want to have good levels of strength, flexibility and overall conditioning. It’s not in the cards for me to get “huge” by any means. I’d rather be well proportioned and strong like male gymnasts and other athletes who are my size.
Mark, I'll join you my brother. I will never be welcomed in the land of giants. So let me pray to TC, Chris Shugart and the rest of the T-mag crew that they may use their powers to help me.
John U, I'll be attending a conference during the weekdays, so my free time will be after 5pm or 5:30pm. I'd like to train with you if you can get me into the good gym on campus. And you can take me around town to chill out.
I think it would be great to have a site that everyone can put their picture on and see what we all look like. Over the internet everyone is huge and cut up, but don’t you kinda wonder sometimes? Just a thought.as for size I can appreciate someones choice, I chose to be big, I didn’t look right at 165, guess I am big boned. but if someone feels good at their weight then that is all that matters. I don’t think we need to put each other down for their choices.Ok done ranting.
musicman, I agree, a website that we could post our picks would be cool. A little constructive criticism is good. I would like to have the guys and girls critique my body and let me know what my weak points are. Just my 2 cents.
Nate Dogg, that would be cool. You’ll like Barbell Club, it has nearly every piece of equipment that you could imagine and it has that hardcore dungeon-like atmosphere, except for some of the people that train there. We’re getting some new equipment soon and if i become president next year I’m looking into getting Negator, a free weight negative training machine as per Poliquin’s suggestion. We have so much money in the bank that isn’t being used so why not at least fix up some of the place with unique equipment? Is there anyway I can get in contact with you so we can plan ahead?
