A question for Onlyme Keith

[Cleanest Natural]

well two things ---one--at least I look better facially, I can always chagne the body.   Two--I'm 20 years older than you and you couldnt last 15 seconds in a fight with me, thats gotta be embarrassing

soooooooooooooo

we have another van damme on boards ?

aaaaaahahahahahahahahaha

[Tapeworm]

Kieth, it sounds like you've got plenty of good years ahead of you if you can make it happen.  Things are going well with business, you've got enough experience not to repeat youthful mistakes, etc.  As cool as your youth was, no reason to think that your future couldn't beat it.  Just make it happen man, every day.  Lots of us are in your corner.

[onlyme]

Keith, if it makes you feel better to think of your detractors as "kids", more power to you, but even you can do math...  you've been calling me a "kid" on here for what, 8 years now?  (and I wasn't a "kid" back then either).       I'm not as old as you, but I'm close enough to understand slowing metabolism and the fact it is no excuse for lack of willpower.

Believe me I understood willpower more than you know.  I had it before.  I could pass by eating crappy food pretty easy cause I had a goal I was shooting for.  I am the first to admit my lack of willpower is exactly why I am in the position I put myself in.  I have no explanation why but I just lost lost it.  I think I felt I was so far gone that I didn't give a shit about anything.  I really didn't care what I looked like anymore.  But, that has changed more than ever now since I have more things going my way finally.  I tried before and was hitting alot of walls.  Alot of those walls are coming down and things are coming into place even though it has taken almost 2 years. 

Haz and grant thank you guys.  I know you guys at least understand competing and serious training and what it takes.  Both of you have had success and obvious got a great deal and success out of lifting.  I have talked to Grant on the phone and he sounds like a very nice guy and obviously very successful.  Hazbin I met at the Olympia last year and he is absolutely a phenom in person.  Very impressive and as nice as they come.  I know I sound like shit on here sometimes when I rag on some guys but those are the guys who just don't respect anyone, not just me.  And there are a very few guys who I really get on.  I have never put down a guys body who obviously looks like he has lifted.  Even Sevatase as much as everyone rags on him at least has the balls to post videos and quite a bit of proof on what he talks about.  Being humble can take you a long way and some guys on here are just to young to realize that when they pop off on a board that has people who have experience and know what they are talking about regardless of what they look like makes them look stupid.  Some of you guys say I talk shit or lie.  I post a pic or an article or usually have some proof of what I say.  If I don't then I try to go into such detail that it would be easy to disprove if you possible.  I don't videos or pics of me lifting when I was in shape.  Back then we didn't have the advantage of having the internet or camera phones.  We just lifted.  No shit talking on the internet not bullshit, just lift the weights.  The kids nowadays can't understand that.  They train in clubs where the strongest guy benches 315 barely.  No grunting or chalk allowed.  Very few of those kinds of gyms are around.  Its to bad cause it was those kinds of gyms I went to.  Places you really trained and got results and if you wanted to prove something you just do it, not talk about it.  The kids on here all they do is talk.  Sorry but I didn't grow up that way.  The guys who can relate to me are the guys like Chic, Hazbin, Grant, and many others out there from the 70's and 80's and early to mid 90's,  The kids on here could no way keep up with us back then.  No way.  And even though I am almost 50 inside I feel just like I did when I was 22.  I know my strength will come back and it will be great to finally meet in person the guys on here who talk shit about what they lift and how they train.  You will see exactly what it is like to be humbled.

[webcake]

That's a good attitude you have, Keith.

I wish you all the best with your personal goals you have set out to achieve.

[Vince B]

This looking good and being strong to impress others is all ego. As you get older the motivation evaporates. So what if you can bench 400 pounds?. Keith did over 500. If Keith can regain some fitness and his health that is all he needs. He already paid his dues in the gym and in arm wrestling. He beat John Breznk, one of the few to do so.

I have to smile when I see Getbigger after Getbigger looking like intermediate guys you see in any gym. These wannabes are tough behind a keyboard, but how they can knock anyone else is really bullshit because none of these guys would be tough in person. I think Keith could still take any two of these heroes and clang their heads together like dumbbells!

Have or do you do any training of other athletes mate..You obviously have a ton of knowledge with lifting and it would be great to learn from you..
Helping others hit there goals can also inspire yourself toward your own goals as well , its as you feed off each others energy..
You have a good sense of humour to so would be a good guy to be around and train around..

You know the spider that bit Keith used to date Brooke Shields right?  He thought Keith was Andre Agassi's bodyguard.

[onlyme]

I figure this thread is the best place to just spill my guts (sorry for the pun) and tell it like it is.  In regards to my posting old pics of my past there is a reason.  Not just because that is all I have.  I don't but just a few pictures of me over the past 8 years because I really haven't done shit in the past 8 years so I don't have any pics.  My heyday or prime of my life was in the 80's and 90's.  I don't have shit to talk about in any other era.  The pics I have of me are when I was the age of the same guys on here that make fun of me because I look like shit now.  So in reality we should compare what I did and what they have done at the same age.  Not when I am at an age they are lucky if they even get to.  With age comes alot of shit.  When i was young I always saw guys older than me and all I did was say to myself "I wish I could be like him when I get older or man I bet that guys has had quite a life".  I never ever once made fun of someone older than me.  I always felt I would be lucky just to live to be that age.  As much crazy shit I have done in my life I was lucky I hit 30.  I see you guys (all younger guys) make fun of Arnold, Larry Scott, Bill Pearl, Jack Lalanne, and other past greats and it makes me laugh so hard.  You guys talk shit about Arnold because he looks the way he does now and he doesn't look like he did back 30 years.  Honestly it is those guys that are just the most ignorant people there are.  You have no idea about life.  Anyone who posts anything about someone the way they look now to what they looked like 20 or 30 years ago and make fun of them are just stupid.  You deserve all the shit you get on here.

Another reason why I post pics and talk about things from the 80's and 90's is because I miss those days.  I miss the days of not waiting to get to the gym and lift during prime time and show-off to everyone.  I liked the times when I would go out and not a day go by when someone asks to touch my arm how much do I bench or what team do I play for.  I like it when people always told me how muscular I was, not how fat I am like now.  I miss the days whenever I went out everyone looked at me because they knew I was the strongest in the place and no one fucked with me.  Nowadays I know people look at me and say things alot different.  That is why I post shit from back then.  It is all I got now.  Some of you like my stories and the people I have met.  I promise you Chic and some of the others on here have met just as many if not more people than I have.  the only reason they don't talk about it is because they are still having the fun and still meeting people like that and are still in the spotlight.  Maybe when they aren't in it anymore they will talk about their past more cause remembering the past is sometimes all you got at the moment.

I gotta tell you guys that I have been talking to a Management company who wants to sign me once I lose the weight and get the things going I have going.  The past several posts are things I will be talking about when this management company starts booking me and they several enagements in the works.  I feel personally that I have nothing to talk about until the weight is off and the business I got brewing is complete.  Then I think I have something to talk about.  I used to do this before and I loved it.  Great money and alot of fun.  This is one of the other reasons why I am more driven now than before to get in shape and lose the weight.

This board (Getbig) has been a great outlet for me.  I talk about shit and say shit I would never say in real life.  The people who REALLY know me know how I am.  I can talk to kids and I can talk to billionaires.  I have done both and I have done it successfully.  My physical appearance was an asset before and now it is a little bit of a liability.  Just yesterday I had lunch at one of his restuarants here in Vegas with a person I am doing business with that talked about losing $80 to $87 million in the stock market over the past 12 months like it was nothing.  Yesterday was the first time I met him.  He emailed me last night and again this morning and it looks like we are doing business and he said I had impressed him greatly. I do this almost weekly.  I go in there knowing I do not look the part, but the people listen to me and know i now what i am talking about.  So my physical appearance is put on the back burner.  I hate it because I liked when I was confident right at the start but now I am a little put off knowing I don't look that impressive anymore.  So this to is another reason and driving force to get me going.

I try to be cool on here and be nice but there are always a few on here who like to get me going so I have to go at them.  I don't usually do it but what the heck.  I am hoping once I get back into shape alot of the shit talking will stop here and we can start having great times again.  Big Mike Wolf has done it.  He looks unreal at the lighter weight.  he is defintiely an inspiration.

[LatsMcGee]

Keith,  for the most part you are really well liked and we just like having some fun with you from time to time.  You seem like a cool guy and we all just want to see you lead a long healthy life.  Oh,  Natural Wonder is a piece of shit.

I know, thanks

[DPump]

Onlyme-   Im a fan dude-   I think the main diff about times now and times then is that we had respect for those that came before us-  Im 31 and that may seem young, but Im old enough to know that in  every endeavor and every avenue those that came before paved the way for us and solely based on that,
they deserve my respect.

I have been around this board for a while, and keep my posts down, and try not to share too much, cuz I know that there is so much disrespect it is not even worth it.  it just seems that when u post or compete in anything, even if ur good-  there will always be those discrediting u.   dont really feel like having to constantly prove myself.  

It amazes me how hard these guys rip on people who obviously are brothers in Iron, or when a BBtries another sport.  why not celebrate the similarities rather than bag on the difference the only thing I can think is that theres a void there that gets filled when ripping on others.

another thing that I notice is that usually the ones that have accomplished stuff are the most humble and modest-  and the brash are the ones that havent done shit-  I never make fun of someone who tries.

Anyways-  just wanted to say that u have my respect and I look at guys that are older than me like u, Haz, GM, etc as people that have done something and give me motivation to not stop at some magical number, but keep being a warrior as long as Im around

good luck in all ur goals

[windsor88]

Keith is a cool dude.  Never met him but I've been reading his meltdowns for a long time.  I am in his corner just like a lot of people on here, family, friends but he has got to be in HIS OWN corner too.  

Keith have you ever been offered a tryout for an NFL team?  Also...not to be a dick but can your agent get you on a weight loss show.  Seems that would be the absolute best thing for your health and career.

[spinnis]

Great writing Keith.

We want you to get in shapw NOW.
Not in another 6 months, not next year bla bla bla,

See how fast wolf did it.
So can you.

[wavelength]

Keith, what's your diet right now? Are you already seriously trying to get back into shape?
If you like to eat good stuff and drink some fine wine from time to time (= you're not a masochist), I might have a few tips in store.

In any case, good luck with getting back into shape!

[americanbulldog]

What up Keith.  I will be in town for SEMA in November.  I will check you out then.  Keep the chin up. 

[Kwon]

Keith, i hope for the best.

I hope you get in shape again, and even if you don't , no worries.

You have experienced more than some ever will here.

[RZA]

Fuckin' A, Keith! I must say I had no idea of your resume 'til this thread. I got to say, you're a pretty good example of that thin line everyone might stumble upon. Life is precarious. Most young people don't realize that and when they do, generally, the damage is done. Well, what you've done, no one can take it away from you. And as long as you can stand up after major blows, props to you. All the best.

[wes]

Stay strong Keith........you`ll be back bud!

[STARDOT]

KEITH, keep up the positive attitude, force it if you have to. succeeding through these current trials and tribulations is a different kind of test, obviously from your past accomplishments youre accustom to physical tests. the one in front of you is mental, its just another test in your life man youre being tested in a different way. take steps everyday no matter how small, just progress a little every day even if it takes years, eventually you'll be on the top of your own mountain again. trust me i know a thing or two about trials and tribulations. everyday you dont do anything progressive you lose ground, never lose ground no matter what. refuse to. you can do it. personal battles have to be won or your life will stall and wont be fulfilled.

did you ever think that people wouldn't make fun of you if you weren't such an idiot with a huge ego that goes on every thread thinking he is STILL the shit? you're obsessed with guys in great shape ex: me, true adonis, johnnynoname
don't hate us because of your lack of will power to keep your face out of the cake for all those years
the only reason metabolism slows down with age is because of muscle loss that occurs as people age
a spider bite doesn't make you weigh 500 pounds, you're not the only person in the world who has been bitten by a spider
look at spiderman 

good luck with the weight loss if you're going to try it
maybe...it will change your attitude, so you wont be so obsessed with people anymore 

Serge just celebrated his 70th birthday
he is still in great shape 
and a life time natural

oh yeah wavelenght put him on the "Adonis Principles"
 

[ASJChaotic]

and why is every fat guy a "power lifter" these days
sad excuse for being fat
like the guys in the gym ...they are fat cuz they are power lifters  same guys can't bench 225
you can't be a powerlifter and not be fat?
here is the worlds strongest man 

[spinnis]

As far as "PURE" strenght goes.
Deadlift
Benchpress
Squat

Mariouz isnt even in the top 10...
I remember when Katz laughed and said "How can a guy that doesnt even squat 850 pounds be the world strongest man?"

No doubt Mariouz is a great fucking athlete though, and its great to see something different then all the fatties.
