Dude looks exactly the same at 71 years old that he did at 42.

His face looks like a mean ass school principal who dishes out "licks" every day for insubordination.

As I'm browsing through the threads on the is board I often come across your posts and it's pretty much 1 of 2 themes. 1. How we are all fucked up or not becuase of our parents. And theres nothing we can do about. Are choices are not as a result of free will but how we were raised.
2. HOw you ridicule everything about bodybuilding and everyone who participates in it.

I dont want to get into the first point but in regard to the second. Please answer this very sincere question because I really want toknow and I'm sure others do as well.

Why are you here?

This is a bodybuilding board where we try to build and sculpt or physiques. Why we like to do this or care is a separate topic entirely. You can ask that about anything. Why someone likes expenssive cars. Why they like to hit a hard white ball across a huge beautiful lawn. Why they like to drop metal plates from 1000 yards out with a 50 caliber. Why they like to practice fighting other men.... it goes on an on. We like to build and tone our bodies. Trim the fat so our muscles show more. For me it's visually pleasing when I see me or someone else with a lean body and developed muscles. For mean it connotes strenght and fitness. Something I happen to admire and find visually pleaseing. I don't know why. Just like I prefer slender women over the voluptuous ones like that Paker guy does. Its just what we like .

Maintaining a lean muscular physique, one where your abs are visible, especially for someone over forty is quite an achievement. I read that only 7% of the male population over 18 years old has visible abs and that number drops fast as the years increase. To me it's asethetically pleaseing to see a set of washboard abs on a man, and on myself moreso, than a layer of flab let alone a pop belly. I work to hard to try and get them. And it's not because I want to lift my shirt and flash a six pack, something I have never done even when I had abs. It's because its just something I prefer to a flabby gut. And it doesn make me look better when I have to tuck in my shirt to not have a pot belly spilling over. but I guess that makes me a narcissist because I want to look better. I should have never had braces or bother combing my hair becaue I dont want to seem like Im trying toimpress others.

We care about Platz legs because as bodybuilders his were exceptionally developed and conditioned. It's what bodybuilders strive for. We all understand that bodybuidling isn't for everyone. Not everyone, probably the vast majority, appreciate the devellopment of Platz's legs and don't even find it visually pleasing. Just like I don't understand the appeal of tattoos, spending 10 grand on a watch, why any would want to run 26 miles.... but different strokes for different folks.

There is obviously nothing you like about bodybuilding as all you do is ridicule it. So again I ask wtih genuine sincerity and interest

Why are you here?

What did  YOUR parents  do to you that you feel so compelled to be on a board whose main subject you despise and ridicule and put others down? Is it  "To impress others people and show them how better than them you are?"

Please. Seriously. Answer this question. Maybe you can teach me something.

Outstanding post. most useless twat here by far

Big surprise you didn't get an answer  ::)

Uberman owned badly even without any insults, just questions.

He likes to come here and tell everyone how meaningless life is and how stupid everyone here are etc, but why? Why would he want to do such a thing? So he can feel good about himself, so he can give someone a lecture about life and feel superior to others, the exact same thing he is condemning all the time. Nietzsche would turn in his grave, change your nick. You are not Uberman.

I think you can look great at 70, but you would have the discipline and sacrifice to get there from age 40...

Look at you, being all perceptive and all.

Uberman seems like a very intelligent, well read, thoughtful person with a lot of insights on life. But he does seem very unhappy and bitter. And I do often wonder why on earth he is on a bodybuilding board. It is by nature, by definition almost, a self-absorbed and narcissistic endeavor -- varying only in degrees. This is not in and of itself bad. Depends how far you take it. All of life is a matter of degrees. What's wrong with wanting to look better and feel better? Even if you have to take hormones -- something produced naturally in your body? He obviously doesn't like it. I understand. There's a lot of things I don't like but I learned from a very early age that this world wasn't created solely to make me feel good. If a person does something that helps fulfill his life, make it more satisfying, gives him a sense of self-worth -- whether it be having a nice house, car, clothes or physique -- what's the point of over analyzing it and putting it down? What do you do, Uber, to make your life fulfilling and give you a sense of self-worth and why do you think it's better than exercise and getting in and staying in good physical shape? And don't say raising a family. Many do so here quite successfully and still bodybuild.

I think it's a fair an honest question Uber, why are you here on a bodybuilding board?

LOL! I know you're not 12. You  don't look even close to being 12. Hell you have the physique of a strapping 16 yo -- maybe even 17 when bulking.

You have my respect. You know that.

What??? Typical teenage answer.
If you are lucky enough to get old, why not be in this kind of shape? You will learn. Time goes very quickly. I first bought Clarence's book when he was 41 and I was a teenager. Now I'm 41. Seems like a year ago!
