His biceps are like mine [except bigger obviously] - massive gap between the end of the biceps and the elbow joint.

He needs to follow Robert Kennedy's advice and train his anatomically nonexistent "lower biceps".

Back in the day I went to a Night of the Champions contest in Manhattan. Back in those days the champs and guest posers for the pre judging just walked in the main door for the venue. I saw a bunch of the current stars of the day. I saw Zane, Robby, Padilla, Grant and many others that day. In the lobby was one guy that wasn't competing or guest posing. It was Mike in dress pants and regular button down shirt. He was clearly the biggest bodybuilder there. Gigantic chest with a small waist.

He's also one of the few bodybuilders to make money.  He was a NY Jet then hurt his knee and he was put on the practice squad the year before they won the Super Bowl.  He was a serious athlete. Imagine he almost had a Super Bowl ring and the Mr. Universe title. After leaving the NFL he became a school teacher then he owned a string of successful gyms. He didn't have a rusty bike anymore. He could afford to buy the most expensive car off the show room floor.

I know for sure that I’ve seen him emcee the NPC Southern States about 15 years ago. During the show, he stumbled on stage in the middle of some guy’s posing routine and started mumbling something about how Kenny won and if anyone has seen his blue t-shirt and crusher. It really ruined the entire show.

This is why I want nothing to do with women.

Women may say they are snowflakes and are equal to or even better than men, especially white men, etc. simply because it sounds trendy in these politically charged times. The reality is, behind closed doors, bitches like it rough with a guy like him. They dig brute strength and nasal hair.

Well...not my nasal hair...as it's turning white now.

I don't hate women due to not getting them. I did attempt to have babies with four women after all - two women successfully.

I just hate these lies.

Netflix has banned employees holding eye contact for longer than five seconds, yet women line up to masturbate to Fifty Shades of Grey.

Something's obviously fishy here. 🎏
