Hasn't he already exposed his sorry ass?

Never much liked bunnies. They are nervous little creatures with pink eyes like a rat, they eat their young and shit constantly. I don't like the taste of rabbit either. Unlike what some folks say, they don't taste anything like chicken.

Glutes are a human's biggest muscle. Why wouldn't folks who are bodybuilders display their glute development. The fact that this is a comparatively recent occurance in bodybuilding competitions, especially in the U.S. speaks to how homophobic many people are. In my opinion, Europeans and some South Americans are way ahead of the game and apparently far less homophobic then are Americans.

He was a handsome guy with a great physique. Too bad he wasn't much of an actor.

Is this the best you can do?

Are you suggesting flossing one's teeth is gay? Perhaps you mean wearing floss in one's butt crack. -Very surreal.

Maybe, but they look better than I do. Do they look better than you?

They do if they are into bodybuilding.

If I was going to bench press twice my bodyweight, I should have done it a long time ago. At 68 years, this isn't likely to happen any time soon. My excuse, besides being old is that my arms are 36" long (sleeve length). This is a heck of a long ways to push up that weight when you are only 5'11" tall. I see guys at the gym lifting amazing amounts of weight in the bench press all the time. Invariably, they are stubby little fellows with short arms.

I gave up trying to be the strong man at the gym a long time ago. I am consistent, I don't take 500 trips to the drinking fountain, I don't chew the fat with my friends for 20 minutes between sets. I come to the gym to workout. That's what I do, get in and get it done....boom!

Amateur and professional bodybuilding is a particularly narcissistic endeavor. Although one could argue that some folks lift for health, and many do, but there are also a fair number of guys flexing in the mirrors at the gym. Maybe that's why the walls are covered with mirrors. The leap from being narcissistic to enjoying attention and perhaps payment from anyone male or female who is interested, isn't great.

Back in the day, I knew fellows who tried to convince their friends that G4P wasn't the same as being gay. Maybe not, but to my mind if you are a guy and you have sex with other guys, you are engaging in homosexual behavior. Payment just feeds your narcissistic bent a little more.

Any fellow who "dances" for the boys at the Faultline, http://www.faultlinebar.com/html/welcomehome.html letting them stuff dollars in their thong and up their butt is only kidding himself if he doesn't believe that is gay....I don't care how poor you are or how much you owe your supplier, a truly heterosexual guy would never go there.

And yet you still bought the magazine. Were you too paranoid to just stand there at the newsstand and read it?

What seems freaky to me is where did his traps go? At least he's not as bloated looking as he was. All those tats....glad they are on him and not me.

What if all Getbigger's declared themselves the Mayor of Bodybuilding and showed up at the next show wearing an asinine shirt like these? Now that would be something!

Me neither. I hate shirts that have sayings almost as much as I dislike bumper stickers. I have two T-shirts with some art work on them, all the others are solid colored. I do have a couple of "Muscle Max" tank tops that I rarely wear.  I feel if I am going to advertise their company, they should pay me to wear their shirts, not the other way around.

I guess you are dreaming. I can't recall how long ago it was that I wore cut off Levi short shorts, but it must have at least been in the 80's. I do remember nylon running shorts being really popular. I liked how they looked and felt on me and I wore them a lot whenever I could. These days I wear Old Navy baggy shorts unless I am showing off then I wear Under Armor or the like. Hmm, maybe a nice pair of leather shorts would be interesting....now I am dreaming of times past....or in the future when I have wheels like yours. 

I hate that my post is following yours since I worked legs today too and compared to you, my resistance is puny. On an up note, my knee did fine. I was actually surprised that I could handle as much weight as I did. I was expecting to have to really dial it back.

Saturday - quads and calves:

Weight 208

Nautilus leg extensions, 5X15-8 @ 100 to 160
Standing one legged calf raises, 4X20-10 @ 160 to 220
Leg press, 6X20-8 @ 200 to 500 added weight
alternating with
Leg press calf raises, 5X20-10 @ 100 to 300 added weight
Machine hack squats, 3X12-6 @ BW to 140 added weight
Seated calf raises, 3X15-8 @ 55 to 140

Soon you will be running on the treadmill naked, like I used to do when it was in the house instead of the garage. I suppose I could run naked in the garage just as well, although it isn't that warm out there right now. My little bits of junk would probably retreat some to stay warm.  

I am considering buying a few dumbbells so I can do some extra work on my biceps. The inspiration is from doing the leg extensions everyday for my knee and how that's made my quads respond.

At a previous home we had a full basement. I had a lot of workout equipment in the basement. The only issue was that I couldn't do any standing overhead presses because the ceiling was too low. -Couldn't have been too big of a problem since I rarely do anything overhead while standing anyway. On the plus side, it was nice having equipment handy and at home. On the negative side, it made it hard to commit to a specific workout time because I knew the equipment wasn't going anywhere. I did build up my quads during that time despite that I was squatting with very light weights. Just goes to prove you don't necessarily need to lift like a power lifter to get big.

I am hoping that my trousers get a little tighter in the leg and butt, while getting looser in the waist. I wear them pretty loose to begin with, so if I am not careful they might become saggers!  At least if I had a little bit if a butt to hold them up that would not happen. Nobody wants to see some old man's ass crack....LOL!

When folks start confusing me with Steve because my quads are so huge, I will have finally arrived.

Thanks Donny,

I think I am starting to get somewhere after only a few weeks back working out. Each workout, I try to add a little something, usually by increasing the resistance slightly, the number of reps, or the number of sets. In the case of the pec workout, I added the second group of light resistance flys at the end of the session just too finish things off and end up with a good stretch and some pump. My pecs are not sore this morning. Hopefully, I get a some feeling of fullness tomorrow. It is probably just my imagination, but my T-shirts feel a little different on my body. Sometimes even when I don't see any change, how my clothes feel on me indicates something is different.

Treating Mayonnaise Allergy Symptoms

•Avoiding mayonnaise in all forms or prepare it at home with the non-allergic ingredients only. You also need to avoid all commercial sauces and dressings that come in a bottle unless you are doubly sure of the contents.
•Antihistamine drugs can easily help you to get rid of the milder symptoms and medicated skin lotions relieve the skin rashes and itching completely.
•Anaphylaxis is a serious life threatening condition that can be lessened only by administering epinephrine shots.

Drive safe and enjoy your visit with your mom.

I'd go see my mom, well her memorial which is Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, OR, but the drive sucks and the weather sucks even more since it is still raining. Cannon Beach is about 85 miles from where I live. I'll go in the late summer when it looks like this, http://media.trb.com/media/photo/2012-03/68837349.jpg

Friday - pecs:

weight today was 207 lbs. If I don't lose weight to get cut, I will just have to build more muscle to accomplish similar results. This is okay with me as long as the fat covering what must be abs, somewhere hidden in there, goes away.

ISO flat bench press, 5X12-5 @ 80 to 150 added weight
ISO incline bench press, 4X12-6 @ 80 to 150 added weight
ISO decline wide bench press, 4X12-6 @ 100 to 190 added weight
Nautilus weight assisted dips, 3X10-6 @ 117 to 157
Nautilus pec deck, 3X12-8 @ 82 to 121
Nautilus super pullover, 3X12-8 @ 100 to 140
Body Masters seated fly's, 3X12 @ 70 lbs.

I got a nice pump from this workout and for a minute or so my pecs actually looked pretty good. There is hope yet.

I exercised my knee doing leg extensions again. Today I did one set of 12 with using both legs @ 100 lbs then I did 3 sets of 12 on leg at a time @ 40 to 50 lbs. I twisted each leg by doing these "pigeon toed" so to speak. My outer quads are nicely sore tonight. -Could be a problem tomorrow when I work quads and calves, we'll see. The knee pain is minimal right now....excellent! I also did one set of hack squats with no added weight just to test whether it bothered my knee; it did not.

When I updated today's delt workout, I neglected to change the front shoulder presses to the Hammer strength ISO type machine. I don't want you believing I did 140 lbs. on the Smith, because these are harder for me to do and I use a little less resistance when I do shoulder presses on the Smith.

I don't feel like I am very strong though compared to a lot of other guys in the gym. I probably do my exercises slower and stricter than most though.

I think you should hold your breath until this happens. You are delusional.

Thursday - Shoulders and Abs:

ISO seated front press, 5X15-7 @ 60 to 140 lbs.
Nautilus seated side lateral raises, 4X12-8 @ 80 to 120
Bodymasters rear lateral raises, 5X12-8 @ 40 to 80 (similar to bent later raises)
Shrugs, 4X15-8 @ 50 to 135 (I used a special contraption designed just for shrugs which I thought had gone missing)
Cable upright rows, 3X12 @ 82.5
Nautilus rotary torso, 2X25 @ 60
Fast trac, 2X25 @ 10 lbs. using three positions
Nautilus crunches, 2X25 @ 80 to 90

Finished up with nautilus leg extensions 3X12 @ 50 each leg
