How did I forget?! Now I remember watching Blood and Guts and Dorian doing his set with like 440lbs. I was like wtf is this shit! I was doing that and not a muscle on my body. Then I read in Flex where he said I'm not trying to win any medals on the deadlift. He was afraid of injuries. Ok so rowing more than that is safe where the back is possibly in a more compromised position? I still don't get it LOL. But he didn't do too badly on the back development LOL.

Bro...

"I dreamt about Louie last night. I told him, 'Louie, you're making a big mistake going to Neverland Ranch.' He says, 'Why do you say that, Mr. Ferrigno?' I said, ‘Call me Dad or Matty you deaf retard.’ Then I said, 'Because Jacko is waiting for you…..in the shadows.'"

Lmfao

He ruptured a vein in his massive cock and bled out.

Brutal if true

Well yes -we've had words. Mostly when you called me some kind of kike, lol. For the record I'm of Italian descent so I'm cool with wap or guinea but a kike? Um, no.

Up until then I found your posts interesting. You seem to be a guy who experiments with exogenous substances routinely. I have no problem with that. At least you are honest.

As for foods, yes - everything is processed to some degree, but the farther you take it from the original form the worse it is for you. That's because any processing inherently causes degradation or removal of co-factors that the body evolved to consume. I have an educational background in chemistry and I specialized in organic synthesis in grad school so I have seen how even slight processing distorts organic molecules.

My dad had cancer so at the end of his life he could only drink liquid forms of protein - I totally get that. But we are talking extreme cases where the body has lost its ability to process food. My dad lost most of his intestines so that killed everything.

The emphasis in bodybuilding on high protein intake is based a lot on marketing. Lots of research is challenging that notion and I agree. I have a natural tendency to produce high amounts of uric acid from protein - my dad had the same issue- and stick to no more than 75 grams a day. I tried high protein regimes in the past for periods up to a year. I got lean but never found any muscular gains from eating as much as 250 grams of protein a day.

My take is spend your money on anything you want but be aware that 1) lots of protein supplements out there have been independently tested and don't contain anywhere near the amount they advertise (its even worse for creatine btw) and 2) high protein intakes absolutely do not guarantee increased muscular growth.

LMFAO.  Van Rules. 

He never got that big.  Listed contest weight was, what, 200 pounds?  Maybe 220 or 230 pounds in the off season?

The guys who have been dropping dead spend most of the year walking around at 280-300+.  Look at the picture of Dauda in the other thread -- he's 300 pounds ez, and maybe much heavier. 

I think it goes to show that carrying around 300 pounds of muscle is just as bad for your body as carrying around 300 pounds of fat, but that staying around 220-230 pounds can be okay even in the very long term. 

A lot of guys who used to get huge in the off-season, like Gunter Schlierkamp and Mustafa Mohammad, had health scares and had to drop all of the weight fast, and now they look like they never trained.  This is analogous to obese people who have health issues and are forced to drop a lot of weight.

Yeah but to live to be to 95 years of age, and most of those years he was abusing steroids, that's amazing, if he was natty maybe he could've lived to be 105
