There is a paradox on this forum, on one hand members claim to be for men's rights and against feminism on the other hand you all subscribe to and enforce the unrealistic standards given out by musclemags for the last few decades. You compare regular people to the unnatural drug using liars and mock their physiques because they are nowhere near the level of these drug abusers.
When will we finally start promoting realistic standards and ideals and get rid of these ridiculous standards which do nothing but degrade men everywhere and make them feel lesser. We should focus more again on exposing drug using liars and promoting realistic standards and the gold standard of natural training is the one and only Eugene Sandow.

Another sickening development is the downplaying of the side effects of steroids/hgh, these drugs above replacement level are extremely unhealthy and destructive and anyone who says that dosages above replacement level are healthy or safe is a fucking scumbag and should be called out immediately.

The new standard. A measure to be set by all. Some iron warriors will DIE trying to accomplish 15" arms. The vascularity, and the size and shape of your arm is UNMATCHED!!

Who has ever said anything about mens rights?
Other than in regard to divorce/children.

1. 7 year old picture
2. That was extremely good progress considering I had been training for 1 year naturally of course.
3. My arm has improved on that now and is on the level of Eugene Sandow, I have reached a point where I cannot improve much more, I will be posting an updated photograph after my diet for this summer.

People on this forum constantly give out advise on relationships and how to handle women etc. you obviously haven't been on the forum very long if you haven't seen any of it. I agree with it but paradoxically people like SF1900 then degrade men who have bodies better than 95% of the Earth's population because they don't have a physique up to par with drug abusers.

If you're not going to improve much more, then why not take a picture now? ::) ::)

The History section has some great posts and articles, i think you should post more on there. Weight training is not just about mass and being the biggest. Weight training is used by Athletes in many sports to improve performance. Do you think these big Beef cakes would last a toe walking session with a Balerina? Point is do what you think is best regardless off comments here.

People have been reposting that picture for upwards of 7 years do you think your gonna run me off the forum by doing that coward?

If you've trained for 8 years and can't post a pic there are probably genetic issues that'll never be overcome.

Three rules that I have learned from reading this message board.
1) do not post a picture of just your face. People will think you are gay
2) if you do not look like Ronnie Coleman in his best years (1998-2003), you will get totally OWNED!!!!
3) if you do not look like Nasser EL Sonbaty you will get OWNED as well, since this board contains A LOT of people that love Nasser for some reason!
Funny how you became the very thing you resented.

Who said I resented any of that stuff? I just posted objective facts. I never stated how I felt about said facts.
lol at you digging up old posts of mine to try and prove me wrong. :D :D

Eugene Sandow is not the gold standard for natural training. He looked good, but I and others have seen better from just doing bodyweight exercises or training for long periods of time.
As far as unrealistic standards, if the people are real, then the standard cannot be that unrealistic. Granted bbing has warped our reality, the mainstream media paints people who are not fat, but who don't have visible abs, or have soft definition as being "in shape". So, you have a media that has low standards and a forum that has high standards, so who really has the "unrealistic standards"?

Please forgive him. He's just a drunk and autistic retard, who's under the false impression that asking for evidence all the time works as a distraction for hiding the facts that he has never been in the army himself and has never competed.
I suspect you do realise the irony of your statement
Yes, I judge on fundamentalists. Not because of their choices, but because of their way of thinking.
Thank you

You don't seem to understand.
My aim was always to build a physique like Eugene Sandow, a greek statue if you will, a physique that would be attainable naturally and would be most appealing to women. I have pretty much reached that point now, The only thing I can improve on going forward is my chest and some more thickness to the abs other than that I'm close to the ideal I always had in my mind. I don't need to be big by your standards to be content. The only women who specifically want a guy with bigger muscles than me are mostly sluts. Most women want a guy with a body like a greek statue.

Waller doesn't look OVERLY huge, but big enough that you can tell he works out and still gets the ladies.
So, if you are close to your ideal, why not post a picture? ??? ??? ???

What right don't you have? Fucking Men's Rights. Give me a break.
I am not being a cry baby about men's rights but it is a big topic in a lot of posts on this forum and I was pointing out that it's paradoxical to on one hand talk about men's rights and spend a lot of time insulting modern women and then on the other hand judging your fellow men by ridiculous standards and trying to put them down constantly. There are a lot of people on here who rant about men's rights subjects especially when it comes to marriage and relationship breakdowns. Thankfully I'm yet to experience any major problems as the result of a breakup but I know I won't get married and will probably avoid having kids because of how fucked up society is now and most of the warnings which led me to this conclusion came from getbig.
As for NetherBitch I did not abandon this thread, I have a life outside of Getbig. Netherbitch's photo was not impressive and I couldn't even see the other guys picture. My back is better than yours Netherbitch, why is the photo so fucking blurry we are in 2015 now, don't they have smart phones in your trailer camp?!

It baffles me how a no-pic can make any pic demands.
-
If that pic sucks so bad why is the legitimacy up for debate?
Don't make this about me goldi locks, nice deflection attempt but remember; I posted that pic as a courtesy to get you to post yours, which you continue to promise but not deliver.
Never was intended as a "callout" - nor did I ever say it was impressive on any level.
Semantics own you.
-
bottom line
if you wont post a pic your opinion means nothing
method thinks he is being cool saying he will post a pic in 10 months in his own time
but everyone knows the only reason he could have for not posting one
is that he looks worse than the green t pic
there are two classes on get big
people with pics
and the anonymous bottom feeding twinks
-
Anything is better than that old arm pic. No idea why he doesn't share any updates beyond the BS claims he looks like SANDOW.

yep its really that simple
-
Sandow doesn't look that good to me.
-
I can agree on one point. Fans of steroid bodybuilding have a warped idea of what someone in shape should look like. The physiques of gymnasts, body weight exercisers, sprinters, running backs and MMA guys especially in the lighter classes are something to emulate. Lets be real here. Guys posting up pictures would look drastically different 6 months off the juice. It's a cosmetic temporary look and not what a real athlete looks like.
-
Sandow doesn't look that good to me.
cmon now sandow has a near perfect body

Unfiltered opinion?
He was great by the standards of that time.
Every time we see someone praising Sandow... it's always someone with bad genetics and unable to build what would be considered a great physique (naturally) by today's standard and/or some racist quarterwit subtly longing for the old days when a white guy was the ideal and not some massive mofo like Ronnie Coleman.
People can work their asses off and simply have below average genetics, poor diet, flawed approach, or simply didn't get the right help. OP, for example, has allegedly been training 8 years and can't post a progress pic without another 6 months to prepare. If that's true, he should probably take up swimming, running, or some other endeavor related to fitness and health.
I've never once seen an impressive or above average pic posted by someone worshipping Sandow. Yes, I've seen lean guys with good condition.
I'm guessing what passed for bodybuilding back then didn't include blacks. Just sayin'. :)

Lots of people showing method up in this thread.

Looking good, CF!

That's the look i've always tried to emulate. I'd like to be bigger, but i have no interest in shovelling down food or juicing in order to do it. I'm going to work a lot more on traditional strength training this year, but running, swimming and boxing are thing's i'll always enjoy doing too, so i have to accept a certain amount of size loss.
looking decent
tattoos aren't the best :D

I'm going to work a lot more on traditional strength training this year, but running, swimming and boxing are thing's i'll always enjoy doing too, so i have to accept a certain amount of size loss.
do you have a nelson mandela quote tattooed on the side of your torso?

Thanks, I've got some horrendous tatts...even worse than yours ;D
It's a Navy_Mike portrait with #mypersonalhell quote in block capitals
I feel your pain

Unfiltered opinion?
He was great by the standards of that time.
Every time we see someone praising Sandow... it's always someone with bad genetics and unable to build what would be considered a great physique (naturally) by today's standard and/or some racist quarterwit subtly longing for the old days when a white guy was the ideal and not some massive mofo like Ronnie Coleman.
People can work their asses off and simply have below average genetics, poor diet, flawed approach, or simply didn't get the right help. OP, for example, has allegedly been training 8 years and can't post a progress pic without another 6 months to prepare. If that's true, he should probably take up swimming, running, or some other endeavor related to fitness and health.
I've never once seen an impressive or above average pic posted by someone worshipping Sandow. Yes, I've seen lean guys with good condition.
I'm guessing what passed for bodybuilding back then didn't include blacks. Just sayin'. :)
Exactly. It's a backdoor way of doing what you said.
Today, there are men and women, who are natural---of all races who are in better shape than Sandow. I've met Africans, Asians, and Euros and all they did was bodyweight exercises, and they put Sandow to shame.
It's not unrealistic to have a good phyisque, or one better than Sandow. It IS unrealistic to think that you can have one like prime Ronnie or Dorian without drugs.

I know several natties in my gym that blow Sandow away. He was great for his time though and for someone with similar genetics to me, is probably as good as it gets.

I think Sandow with today's equipment, and with different bodyweight exercises would look better than he did back then. Take a look at his chest vs his arms. Flat chest, decent arms, this shows something lacking in his training when it came to training his chest.

I'm not sure what Sandow's routine looked like, but I'd be willing to guess it would be closer to a modern day weightlifter routine than a BB one. I agree that he could have looked better than he did if he lived now but I also do feel he was close to his genetic limit in most of his pics.

Good build CF. What are your stats?

probably. I don't think that back then that they knew about different hand positions for push ups, dips. And different foot positions for squats.

Nor had the anabolic window been discovered.

As pasty as Sandow was, I don't think they discovered the virtues of sunlight and vitamin D, either.

Whole foods with no additives back then.
