[Old_Rooster]

[Old_Rooster]

pay him no mind at all old cuzz. Everyone on the board would kill for a body like that at damn near 50. Shit Damn near 30 for that matter. I looked like that when i was 23. Im bigger now only because i wanted to see how big i can actually get. But you look awsome.

[Old_Rooster]

No offence, you look great, but (in a general sense, I'm not picking on you specifically) I always thought bodybuilders were supposed to be big...

I was 270 when I was 29, i'm an old fart now that can't train legs due to torn meniscus, have blown a tendon off elbow at insertion point so had to lighten tricep work, bone spurs on shoulders from 29 years of training has me benching light also.

You can't be big forever, but for 48, all i'm trying to do is stay lean and it does actually make you rather proud to see other 50 year olds with pot bellies while I still have abs.

Not sure who started the shit I was blasting people other than people I saw blasting beginners to get their kicks, yeah I blasted them for blasting beginners.    I still enjoy lifting, may as well, i'm stuck owning a gym.  I lift to keep from being a balding fat ass old man with one foot in the grave.  I'll never be HUGE again.

Thanks bro, I've always known on these type boards, the ones posting trash at you are the ones that probably don't even lift, they enjoy the thrill of pretending to lift.   I think they must get GF's online at places like this to phone sex with so the girl thinks she is sexxing up some beefcake.  I find them amusing.  Thanks for the props, i'm comfortable in my own skin.

YEah you cant take them serious or you will not last. The fact is these people will find mistakes in ronnie arnold and yates, so you know they are gonna blast anyone less. I blast no one except for Vince. For him to get on stage looking like that is a disgrace to everyone that ever got on stage. Like he is making some sort of joke.
BTW where is the gym you own.

[tommywishbone]

Dude.. you're in decent condition; but the photo of you doing cable cross-overs in jeans? You might want to lose that one.

Oh, good work winning the hardware.

[youandme]

So divorce helped you get bigger?
Amazing how hos and bothces will hold you back, huh.

Good work

I posted that one to show what I looked like after about a 2 or 3 year layoff from the gym while stuck in a crappy marriage.  3 years after that pic was taken, I won mr. alabama over 40 class.

Please post your picture.  Pretty please?

why is it so hard to believe that he was 270lbs at 29yrs. old. he's older so whats the point in walking around huge at 48 if you are not making aliving from it. at some point in your life you must go down in weight simply for health reasons

I actually gather from being here that some people arent into training that serious and they could see how getting to 270 would be tough. But believe me. Its not that tough. It amazes you so you call bullshit. What reason does old guy have to lie. HE has shown many pictures with many trophys. A pretty accomplished bobybuilder at the local level. Dont think he will just make things up.

 Im 240 and could get to 260 by next year this time. Easy. Its not that difficult.

and i've even admitted my legs aren't worth a crap, that i'm not the same man I used to be, I have some type impingment in my neck also ah has caused me to lose almost half the strength in my right biceep.  And I could have posted pics of me from the waist up and claimed I had big muscular legs but as you said, WHY LIE?  I'm actually pretty proud that at age 48, i'm still in decent shape.  Ha Ha, should hae seen the guys at my 20 25 year high school reunion! I felt like a god tjere@

True story, i come from a bodybuilding background. My grandfather trained with Bill Pearl at the gym he had in LA  off century near the airport. Anyway he is like 85 and still lifts weights. He is 6 feet and 200lbs. No gear or nothing. He went to the the emergency room the other day because of chest pains. They were actually sore muscles from a brutal chest workout. Crazy shit. He still lifts 5 times per week.

Old Rooster=ATTENTION WHORE

I post from boredom waiting on time for me to train.

Heres your definition of attention whore apparently:
A skinny punk can post 1000 times

Someone with a half eecent physique can post twice and he is labeled an ATTENTION WHOREl
