ok bro..
mooie kanten...
de vrouwen zijn hier super... nog echt vrouw... sexy gekleed, doen moeite voor hun man... ook als je al jaren bij elkaar bent...
het klimaat... heerlijk weer elke dag... ligt er wel aan waar je zit in brazilie...
de mensen zijn erg leuk en heel gastvrij... waarderen het erg als je de moeite doet om hun taal en cultuur te leren....
corruptie: voor alles is een alternatief of een maniertje om sneller of goedkoper te doen hahaha.. het bekende "jeitinho brasileiro"
goedkoop leven...je hebt hier weinig nodig.... eten en drinken is goedkoop...
ontzettend mooi land en prachtige natuur! ik zit in het amazone gebied... echt prachtig...
geen stress! alles rustig aan... vandaag niet dan morgen wel!

mindere kanten...
de mensen zijn superaardig maar ook opportunistisch... vooral toeristen zijn vaak de lul...
corruptie.... het heeft ook een mindere kant.... politie is corrupt , regering is corrupt.....
grote verschillen tussen arm en rijk.....
gevaarlijk... sommige delen zijn gewoon erg link...
ik moet zeggen dat ik me nooit onveilig voel hier... maar ja ze kenne me hier in de buurt...doe niet arrogant klets met ze, geef ze af en toe wat geld om drank te kopen haha... ben een van hun...

ik voel me hier happy .....  ;D ;D
Be Happy,
Optimus

Klinkt over het algemeen goed, dat was al zo'n beetje het beeld wat ik van Latijns-Amerikaanse landen heb. Ik moet daar beslist een keer heen!
Je werkt daar als trainer, als ik het goed heb? Heb het vroeger ook gedaan, maar het verdiende geen drol, wel een van mijn leukste banen.

You guys can't honestly think this guy is on something...

There is nothing in any of these pictures that is a "dead giveaway" that he's on something. 

Way to pin every guy with a decent physique with drug use  ::)
Pun intended

PNS are those your legs?

450-500 for bench is too high, in retrospect. Most people here will never make that, much less people BB.com. I think only Steve Namat here has showed that kind of strength potential with his 170lb DB pressing (and that lying black dude who claims to be natural?)

More like get to benching 365-405 for a few reps, then switch over to benching 275-315 for slow, high rep sets

although as I'm finding, when you get injured you lose the 'pump training gains' a lot quicker. 5 weeks off pressing with a shoulder injury and my upper chest and delts have literally vanished.



are you saying you are halfway?

He had balance and charisma, great person.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't mind to have that look (no homo, yes nattie, LOL).
I saw him twice in person (mid nineties) where he was more massive, but less energetic (there's a negative correlation between that) than on that pic, the classic bigger=better mistake :-\
That dehydrated look made him impressive, not his mass. He was like a taller and better version of Lee Labrada. He should have beat Gaspari in '88.

yes!!!! gaspari was a trainwreck of bodyparts....
de Mey was more complete...far better structure, even more shredded, more aesthetic.... a better bodybuilder....
de Mey even beat haney in the leg department....seperation and the hams/calves....
Haney was overall the better bodybuilder though...just to much of a difference in overall mass.

and yeah mid nineties berry was walking around at about 125 kilos offseason.... was a pretty big dude!!
i saw him at a guestpose in Delfijl.... Eemsmondcup..... impressive... was '95 if i am remembering correctly...
huge dude....!
Be Happy,

yes bro , sad isn't it?
well this is my personal goal...
mass to height ratio that is.....
so no competition for me.... lol.. sad, but in this day and age you are stuck at national level with a physique like this.....
but to me bodybuilding is personal, no need to compete.....
anyone who trains to be bigger and better built, is a BODYBUILDER!!!!!
we all have different goals and expectations though....

Be Happy,
Optimus

Isn't it funny, well, rather sad, that many dudes say they perform "fitness". Coming out of the closet seems less harder, than admitting you're a bodybuilder ::)
