WHAT THE FU..... ?

Synthol (which is what Greg used) is not an anabolic steroid. It's just oil. Anabolic steroids do not cause local growth.

eikonoklastes said:

It's still cheating though, right?

AnckSuNamun said:

Let me put it this way, even in non-tested competitions synthol use is a no-no. I know that to most people it really doesn't make a difference, but Greg is the most hated man in the bodybuilding community. He's an idiot.

As for strenth is useless too. It's just oil, not muscle tissue.

eikonoklastes said:

Then why take it? That sh!t is crazy! How can Greg think he looks good?


As I lifter myself, I have more respect for the folks who do it clean. I know you have to lift hard even if you take steroids, but it's still cheating. Just my .02.

I don't know. Why do some women get these enormous implants?

As for the other stuff, again, if you join a federation in which pretty much anything goes, how is it cheating? That's like a boxer joining the UFC and complaining about low kicks. If you don't like the rules you're free to join a different organization. Same for powerlifting...tested vs non-tested, suits vs raw etc ect.

For the ridiculously huge lifters.....How many hours are put into the gym? I'm winded after an hour & 30 min. 30 min. weight training with small weights.....1 hour on cardio machines.

HUMAN PERFECTION

It doesn't require much time at the gym. Most try to complete their work out within 90 minutes and they do that 4-5 times a week.

Cardio-wise most don't do much if any cardio at all on the offseason. When preparing for shows it varies. Some rely soley on their diet others do up to two hours of cardio 4-5 times a week (1hr in the morning and another hour at night)...moderate intensity. Some need 16 weeks to prepare for a show others only 6.

Sticking to your diet is the hardest. Roughly 6-8 meals a day (some go up to 10) and in preparation for a show it's calory restricted.

Actually that Melissa Dettwiller chick someone posted a pic of (the blonde with the big tits), she's doing no carbs at all for up to 20 weeks to prepare for a show. Only carbs she gets are coming from veggies. Most of her energy comes from fats.

I'm in the gym four days a week(I don't compete). Now my schedule looks like this:


Monday -
Legs, calves, shoulders, cardio(@two hours)

Tuesday -
Cardio(40 min.) and a forearm workout

Wednesday -
Chest, triceps, cardio(@two hours)

Friday -
Back, biceps, cardio(@two hours)

Abs every other day.

Thursdays & weekends - OFF

I'm coming in late, but, no, I don't find these women attractive. Nor do I find overly muscled men attractive.

eikonoklastes said:

Who has time to prepare up to 10 meals a day? The rollercoaster ride of going from intensive training for shows to being laid back can't possibly be good for your body.

uPtoWnNY said:

That's more like it. I used to hate & avoid gyms, but now I've been going for about 4 times a week.....not trying to bulk up though. Just trying to stay healthy.

AnckSuNamun said:

Pro's definitely have the time. Besides, they prepare most of their food a day ahead. A meal can just be an 8oz piece of chicken breast with veggies. It's quite boring food most of the time, but as some say, they don't eat for taste. They eat to get big.

I'm not saying the offseason is laid back, just that they do less cardio. Weight training actually picks up on the offseason, lifting heavier and more intense. You can't always train at maximum intensity anyway. You burn out that way. People who are serious about it always periodize.

Intense training is never healthy. People think that because being active is good for your health that the more you do, the healthier it is and that's not necessarily true. Not when it comes to cardio and not when it comes to weight lifting.

eikonoklastes said:

Yeah, I see cats on a six-day schedule(working out twice a day). I don't know how they do it, because I need time to recover after intense workouts. They're big though.

uPtoWnNY said:

Insane.

not at all.

Now that's more like it - muscular, but still feminine. She looks like a trainer at my gym.

Here's one, just for you:

Mozorro said:

ugh, not to me.

I like skinny guys actually.

eikonoklastes said:

OMG, I would absolutely DIE in the presence of this dude!!! All those veins, I can't take it. I can't even look @ this pic anymore

AnckSuNamun said:

I saw that TLC special on this guy. He fucking scares me
[Edited 6/25/07 8:13am]

Mozorro said:

He looks great BUT the time he must spend in the gym to maintain that is what would turn me off from this dude. Then again, I go to the gym now



He could be softer, but I wouldn't kick him outta bed...

1sexymf said:

the sling she is wearing notwithstanding...
i bet if most women saw her in line at the grocery store
and not posed to specifically define her muscles
the reaction would be more like "i want to look like that!"
and the men would be thinking "i want to get with that!"

she just looks very fit to me
still very soft, sexy and feminine

RICH GASPARI!!!!! I love him. What the hell happened to him?
