Harley Breite - Appreciation thread

[Kim Jong Bob]

thank you very much.   not to highjack, but a couple pics to show my balance.  I always wondered if I woulda gotten a better look if I blew out my arms or shoulders a bit; reducing my symmetry, but getting that 'wow factor'

now that is a good latspread.....if you lived in sweden you would have won the swedish championships including the overall title  in all the pics

how in the holy fuck did that guy in the middle beat you?

Bigger cock, maybe?

A Thought:  So tonight begins the holiest day of the year in the Jewish religion.  At the last minute, my Mom changes her mind and asks if we can have a prayer and candles with dinner.
                  Although I am an atheist, I believe in Judaism as an ethnicity.  Therefore, I don't pray to any higher power. 
                  Of course, I oblige my Mom and watch her say a prayer and light candles and talk to her God.  That is ironically, the same God that permits her to be emotionally crushed
           after losing her husband of almost 55 years.  It's been almost 2 years since my Dad passed and my Mother is not over it nor is she doing all too well. 
                  That same God to whom she prays is the same entity to whom I would direct a great source of anger if I though the bastard was even there or bothered to give a listen.
                  These holidays condemn me to witness a renewed sadness within my Mom at having to go at it with her husband.
                  And someone wants me to thank God?  That same God that allows my Mom to suffer?  That same God that for no explicable reason allows my "kids" to be born with all
           sorts of mental and physical challenges?
                  No thanks.  I will believe in Physics and Hong Kong Phooey. 
                  Thanks for listening.

Dear Old School Lifter,
  Thanks so much for the support and kind words!!!  It really does help, especially now at 5:23 am as I wait a bit for my coffee
to take some affect so that my eyes open wide enough to turn on the elyptic rider in my house for cardio.
  Well, Day One went perfectly but I can see that my law practice is going to suffer quite a bit.  There is only so much energy one can
muster and one needs to allocate that energy properly.
  Well, screw the law practice for 15 weeks.  The courthouse will still be standing long after I die and the system is so inefficient that almost
everything is "rush to show up, wait around forever and then just get a new date with nothing accomplished."
  My life can't be dictated by such incompetence.  Time to get in shape.
  I will be sure to get as much Olympia reporting in these next 2 days as possible.
  And thanks for the comments about Craig- 9th in the world isn't too bad.  I think with just a few more Gatorades in him and a couple
days of rest, Craig will be motivated to do even better next year, if he does the Olympia which I am not in favor.

Dear Harley

Day Two went just fine.  We are on a roll. LOL

Dear Harley,

I believe in a creator simply because it's hard for me to believe that all of this around us just happened purely by chance. That the universe somehow always existed and through a random concussions of molecules evolve to what we have today.

I, too, have struggled mightily with the thoughts you expressed and believe that the bad in this world far outweighs the good. That's why I never had kids (though I was always willing to adopt) and what ended my marriage.

So, to me, a far more interesting question is not whether or not a God exist, but is he good?

Its like when people say prayers for victims of disasters, God has made it perfectly clear he doesnt give a fuck about the victims already, what do they think prayers are going to do?

Post the pic.  

This thread has veered off into all types of subjects. That's what makes it so epic.

BTW, I was very interested in the training and support that Ben has as featured in "Generation Iron." Would like to know more about what goes out in that lab and a detailed breakdown as to what they are doing as Ben trains.

Dear Hazbin,
  No need to apologize.  If you remember, I had long ago complimented your physique both times you posted pictures.
  As I sit here preparing to start Day 3 of my diet, it inspires me.

[HarleyBreite]

Dear Pellius,
  It's nice to hear from you again. 
  Oh, I don't claim to have copyright to misfortune and I, like so many others, have trouble reconciling how a God could permit
such massive tragedy. 
  Your question as to whether or not God is good is interesting given your aforementioned opinion that the universe is not random.
  Might I offer this:  If, as you believe the universe is NOT random AND God DOES exist, then God, by virtue of his omnipotence, is NOT
                             and does NOT permit "randomness."  Therefore, God not only permits such inexplicable maladies and suffering, but
                             it is also his design and intent.
                             We are now left with the question as to whether or not God is good.
                             With the ability to create any utterly completely Utopian universe God desires, he chose to create one in which most suffer and all suffer on a frequent
                             basis. 
                             Now, how does one conclude that God is good?
  This is just a thought of mine and certainly can not be proved (or disproved) in any way.
  I think it was Christopher Hitchens who said, "That which can be asserted without evidence , can be dismissed without evidence."

I agree.. i also still believe we are being visited by other Beings. Look at ancient art work they depict men in space type suits. I think this is what has evolved into our thinking there is a God.

[Donny]

canīt be ignored...

[The Ugly]

They're obviously going to make God reconsider His perfect, eternal Plan.

Question on Diet:   I am a huge Diet Coke drinker.  I am confronted by opposing views on whether or not you can get in shape while still drinking
                         Diet Coke.
                            Many "gurus" have told me that there is nothing in Diet Coke (there is no real sugar) that would prevent you from ridding yourself
                         of body fat and putting on muscle.  The only thing they would advise is to cut it out 10 days before a show just in case it could cause
                         bloating of the stomach from the gas.
                            In all my research and experience, I can find no scientific reason why consumption of Diet Coke (maybe 2 a day) would impede fat loss.
                         Just as a side note, the Gracie Family absolutely despises the consumption of all soda so anytime I am with Royler, Royce, or any of them,
                         I always order Diet Coke and watch their reaction.
                            May I trouble you for your opinion please.

No idea about contest prep, but there is absolutely NOTHING in DC to derail a diet, or your health. Even if you're a lab mouse.

Harley, something I meant to say last week that will lead you to find pictures similar to the ones herne posts...

If you go to google and enter a few words describing things you like, then click 'images', it will call page after page of images.  When you see an image you want to investigate, right-click it and 'open in hew tab'.  You can find endless stuff that's great.  (If you discover you're uninterested in a particular image after opening it in another tab, just remember to close it by x-ing out of it so you won't get overwhelmed with tabs.)

But way too many traps (trannies), everywhere.  I didn't realize just how many.  Use with caution.

Diet Coke is fine when dieting.............used it and got down to 4.5 % bodyfat.
