Regarding his calves:



uh ya. they were 11.5" when I started and just over 13" at my first show. I had a bitch of a time building them up. Just like my quads and hams. People told me they sucked, I had chicken legs and I'd never get them caught up blah blah blah. In truth my genetics for legs probably aren't great, but you can look back through my 30000+ posts on here and you will never ONCE find me bitching about genetics... EVER. You know why? because bitching about them and worrying about them doesn't change them. It doesn't change the fact that regardless of my genetics I still need to work as hard as possible to maximize my potential. So I could give a **** less what my genetics are. It's not going to stop me from going in and killing it everyday and breaking down all barriers. If I'd listened to people 5-10 years ago, I would have likely given up. I also never would have done my PhD and started my own business. I have found that most people are cowards because they are scared of 'failure', actually they are so petrified of failure that they never attempt to succeed and they try to bring down others who do. What people don't realize it is only a failure if you quit, everything else is just a setback. So I'm going to keep picking out things that people say I 'can't' do and I'm going to keep doing them.

Hell some of these cowards were so delighted after I tore my pec that I got threads started by these cowards laughing about my injury and saying "hahaha layne is done, he'll never do anything again." 11 months TO THE DAY after I tore my pec, I deadlifted 645 lbs raw at 215 lbs in my first powerlifting comp and broke the APAs record at the time for my weight class. 11 months after all these people said I was DONE. So again, cowards like these cannot possibly understand how my mind works and my motivation level. Most people live to avoid challenges. I LIVE to overcome challenges. It's the reason I get out of bed in the morning.

sorry for the long winded response, but I figure that may be useful for some people here to read that

When I was younger I used to think like a lot of these guys. Anyone who looked better than me or was more impressive made me feel insecure and so I accussed them and pointed fingers. Not because I knew they weren't natural, but because they made me feel insecure about myself and so I lashed out. No different here. People don't understand what changing your physique takes. People accuse me of using drugs or having great genetics to try to validate why I look the way I do. These same kinds of people were telling me 5 years ago that my genetics were **** and I'd never make it or do anything. I never listened. I busted my ass day in and day out. Most people can't possibly understand my mindset or how motivated I am. I hit the same stumbling blocks as anyone else and setbacks. The difference is I never stop. In the last DECADE I have never gone longer than 5 days without training. This includes when I tore my pec completely and had my arm in a sling. 4 days after surgery I was back in the gym doing single leg extensions.



3 weeks after the surgery I was doing single leg leg press and training legs 3 days per week since I couldn't train upper body.



then 5 weeks after my surgery I was doing one arm smith machine squats and having my wife help me stabalize the other side.



during this time I never thought about quitting, never missed a meal, never even thought about taking a step backwards. So I chuckle when people talk to me about drugs or genetics, because they really have no idea the kind of motivation or work ethic I have. Lastly, I'd suggest everyone watch this video and listen to this monologue about success. It is the truest thing I have ever heard. If you want to be successful, you better be willing to put in the work.



Most people don't have the balls to go after their dreams or goals and so they put down those who do. They use 'criticism' and being a 'realist' as veils to hide behind but in reality they are cowards. They don't take responsibility or accountability for not achieving their goals



so I always laugh at people who accuse me. you really have no clue. Go kill it in the gym day in and day out for over a decade. Don't miss meals, don't miss workouts, and be consistent. Then come talk to me.

if you've got a problem with that...

THE REAL REASON IS CAUSE HE HAS A LOT TO LOSE.

IF HE IS EXPOSED AS A FRAUD, HE LOSES ALL OF HIS CREDIBILITY FROM HIS PHD STUDIES, HIS SPONSORS, ETC. HE BECOMES A FRAUD, A PHONY, A LIAR.

Lol @ his attitude:

I appreciate the kind remarks and glad many of you got something out of this. There will always be a certain amount of insecure people who will accuse and try to spread lies about me. At the end of the day, I sleep fine at night because i know I've never lied about this and never deceived anyone for profit. My reputation means everything to me. Money you can always make, but you only get one reputation. Integrity is the number one priority in my life. There will always be those who accuse and lie about me, but they are not going to deter me, make me bitter, or slow me down. Hopefully, I'll give them more reasons to despise me in the future

Oh and just remember for those of you with big dreams and goals. Even achieving a small amount of success will get people pushing negativity at you. Do not let it get you down, keep pushing. I'd be a liar if I said this stuff never bothered me. I'm human, people telling lies about me absolutely bothers me. But I use it for more motivation. I will find a way to take their negatives and use them to my benefit

Here's a set of questions for everyone:

WHY DOES ANYONE GIVE A FUCK ABOUT LAYNE NORTON?  WHO CARES IF HE IS NATURAL OR A WALKING PHARMACY?  WHY HAVE PEOPLE CREATED THIS PERPETUAL ADVERTISING OF HIS LIFE ACROSS THE FORUMS?  IF HE IS NOT A MEMBER HERE, WHY SHOULD GETBIG GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIM?

An answer from anyone would be appreciated..

Do you really think he profits from threads here bashing him?  I seriously doubt it.

As to why we attack his credibility constantly, I think it is a result of the human tendency (probably genetic) to seek justice against those who lie and transgress against the laws of society even in the absence of any material reward for those enforcing this order. 

Sorry if you were just asking a rhetorical question and did not actually want an answer

Swlabr....did Layne fuck your girlfriend/wife or something.  Did he take your lunch money?  Are you upset that you didn't get to ride on the big bus like he did and instead had to ride the short buss to school?  Out of 10 posts in your thread....you have 5.  Wow...he owns your mind VERY deeply.

He is just another bb who makes money out of this "sport" and that's it.

People on here care..because if they thought for one second that he could actually be natural..then their whole pathetic belief system (which is reinforced daily by the Romanian fraud/Guru)..that people can't be ripped at more than 150 pounds..would be shattered. The thought that someone can look decent without juice is too much a threat to their fragile sense of reality. Much easier to believe that all naturals are condemened to eternal twink- like status.

That goes for every bodybuilding board. Who is natural and who is not has to be the most talked about subject.

I can give you an answer, because getbig is full of insecure guys who think a physique like Norton's is unattainable without drugs, due to the fact that their physique looks like shit even though they tried everything under the sun. Sorry but that's the truth.

No wonder why all the rodriguez, layne, physiqunatural, etc. threads blow up. Too much obsession over a bunch of natural (or not) bb competitors that no one should care about.

This is really going to turn Mr. gh15 on.  I can't wait to read his responses.  Then we will all jump on Mr. gh15's bandwagon because he speaks the absolute truth and he has proven himself many times already.

What a douche. I don't see why people are worried about being so massive. Bodybuild contests are gay and girls don't even care about big muscle. Just be in shape, dress nice and smell good.

I keep myself lean and don't even talk about bodybuilding and women love it.  I give them some line about how they look good and its only right that I stay in shape as well.  Pumps them up and gets them primed to hit the sack.

Worked again tonight.  Been having my eye on this one chick who looks Hawaiian/Philippine....finally had the chance to talk to her.  Commented on some of the things she does, she said I looked like I was in great shape...all I said was "me, come on...look who's talking.  I bet you get a lot of the other female members here asking you what you do look so good".  I got the smile, look down towards ground, and brush hair behind ear thing.  Imagine what would have happened had I responded with something like "yeah, I am training for the 2012 Jr. Nationals, hope to come in dryer this year than last year.  Need more quad separation".  ::)

It's cos he profits from his lies about being natural - he tells all these young guys that he is natural all the while these same guys waste money on supplements expecting the same results when his results are from drugs - so he is a dirty liar and deserves exposing and one day it will come
