It's japanese fashion, all BB train with a mouthpiece here, also they wear a lifting belt all the time and use lifting straps on biceps curls. They feel the urge to mask that they are on steroids so much that they result to idiotic things. "How did your legs get so big, you're on steroids?" "No, i wear a mouthpiece while squatting and a lifting belt for extensions".
dk, in your opinion do the japanese have a propensity for illusion even beyond that of americans? all their silly impractical martial arts, the excessive politeness / respectfulness, this ridiculous gym equipment... it's all very strange.
No, not at all, actually most people at the gym train really hard and in the gym where i train i would say 80-90% are competing, and of them i would say 95% are on the juice. They just have a problem with admitting it.
How many Kanji do you think Hidetada knows?
What the fuck do i know. I woudl be more interested in how much steroids, HGH and slin he shoots. You're starting to get on my nerves with that Kanji fetish of yours. He's a professional BB, living in the US. Here is his blog, write him a mail and ask him yourself. http://www.gasparinutrition.com/teamgaspari/viewAthleteBlog.aspx?id=68.
Only because you take them for granted.
WTF?Let me tell you, after living in Japan for more than a year, YOU need ZERO Kanji to live here as a foreigner, ZERO, NOTHING, NONE. Thanks for playing.
I have visited Japan and yes, many signs are in English and with Hirigana you can do a lot but to be honest I am always in awe of people who have mastered what many consider the most difficult writing system in the world. It is a great, great accomplishment!
Bullshit, no kanji needed, in fact if you're a foreigner you're better off dumb and illiterate, otherwise people get scared if you can read.
That might be, but it does not diminish your great accomplishment that I try to pay tribute to.
