LOL!!!

Wait, let me salvage 240's masculinity and destroy my own at the same time:

That guy's from 98 Degrees.

thanks man.

way to back the bus over yourself to save me from the shame.

Of course, I'd like to prove my masculinity another way.
I'd be willing to bang Jessica Simpson, and while rifling through her dresser for money (as she tries to repair her broken anus), I could find a 98 degree cd and see if Zach is correct.

I suspect 240 has been overdosing on porn . In fact I've been suspecting this for some tme now. . .

actually i don't watch much.
what has led to your assessment?

Dave Palumbo or whatever the hell his name is, is a TRUE example of how FAKE bodybuilding has become. ANYONE with extremely poor genetics can make it in this sport, you just have to be crazy/dumb enough to inject 101 sorts of drugs.

Um ....ok.....
He has a gut...but when u get size and conditioning like that, it has something to do with genetics.  I assume you workout and therefore go to the gym regularly.  I also assume you have seen some heavily juiced people there.  How many of them are as big as Palumbo?  How many pro's who inject juice like they inhale air, are as large as Palumbo?  So although his gut waistline is large, you can not deny his size and conditioning is rarely matched.

Dave is undoubtedly a genetic freak.  He is in contest ready condition pretty much 365 days a year.

i would even say possibly more than that if i saw him in the street

Zachary.......that's blasphemy what you just said.   

I hope your soul can recover.   

Holy shit. Kovacs was born in 1968.  He's only 35???

That's scary.   

So what will he look like when he's actually 50? 

His face looks much older than his age.

You transfer his legpress maxes to squats and he easily outpushes Coleman.....Not to mention Coleman's form isn't exactly "proper".



DIV

Proper? lol I bet he uses much better form than you and anyone here. Kovacs is an ugly fuck, no way is he stronger than Ronnie. If he is, then show me proof.

I have no proof, just like I have no proof that Coleman does proper form on squats or does them without kneewraps and squatsuit. 

Feel me?

Who cares what Kovacs look like?  I wasn't talking about that.

I like how you follow my statements with logical questions....

1968 means he is 36, turning 37 this year.

[Richie]

Holy shit! Whoever said he made improvements from the Arnold is an idiot.

[bbfan1]

He might look bad, but could you imagine how gigantic this guy would be in person??

That kind of ties in to why I said he should go in to powerlifting.

He's built for that.....

Or pro wrestling.  I just couldn't even guess how imposing this guy must be in person.

He makes Bob and Mustafa look like children!





I'll say it again - I couldn't imagine how imposing he would look in person.   

[TomTuttle]

Well said like a true muscle whorshipper.

well at 6'3 he would do that. But he doesnt have one body part bigger than bob or mustafa there except for his waist

[Hedgehog]

Isn't GH supposed to make you reverse aging?

What gives?

Is it only low doses that does that perhaps? Greg looks old and weary. I don't think it's funny anymore. I just feel sorry for him, and every year he gets to live without any health problems, I think is a great thing.

All the best wishes goes out to Kovacs. He did it all to himself, he's got nobody to blame but himself. Still I hope he will live as good as he can and as long as possible.

YIP

[210 and growing]

the guy honestly does look like a living frankenstein!

   I had to bump this thread--DefCon's post is one of the most horrifyingly funny things I've ever read on these boards.

[gordiano]

This should be a sticky. This is a classic thread. Not as great as the original, but still good.
