Mike Arvilla Movie

[Hedgehog]

I've done THREE shows, and won the novice overall in my first one at age 22.  I've been a virtual SPONGE for bodybuilding info for the past 15 years of my life.  I read about every bodybuilding magazine there was out, from cover to cover, between the ages of 15 and 20.  I've been a veteran poster on these boards for the past 5 years...about as long as there have been boards.  Before I made a name for myself in the industry strictly by posting on these things, I was an ardent reader of misc.fitness.weights in it's heyday.  And yes, I've lived alongside pros and basically lived the most hardcore "bodybuilding lifestyle" imaginable for the past three years, even if some of it hasn't even involved the actual pursuit of bodybuilding, for the past 3 years in Venice, CA, where I still reside 5 miles from Gold's Venice today.  Ha ha...I had my fucking ACE personal training accreditation when I was 19 and worked as a personal trainer in gyms for 3 years before becoming an actual physical therapist 5 years ago.  Been practicing professionally in that arena ever since.  I've coached 2 people through contest preps before, and got them in shapes they never imagined possible, not to mention, I took the woman I married in the year 2000 (we're now divorced) from basically bodybuilding untrained, to 6th in her first heavyweight Nationals appearance in 2002.  I don't really like doing people's preps anymore, but holy shit, you need this BAD.  Not to mention, it'll be fun doing it here in front of God and everybody.   

THOSE are my qualifications.   

This offer is pretty generous.

How is Arvilla gonna say anything but yes please?

THOSE are my qualifications.   

Don't forget that you are also an expert on "recreational drugs".

squatting a massive 155 i bet too.

I squatted 185 for 3 massive sets of 6 my first leg day back in the gym about 4 days ago.     I've been known to squat 455 for 6 quality, parallel reps before my knees got really bad, though.  That was when I was around 23-24 I think.  I'm 6'1", so that's a pretty tough feat.  Go ahead and say that 455 for 6 is beginner-level bodybuilding...just like you were trying to laugh at guys the other day who do 120 pound dumbbell shoulder presses for reps, as though that's child's play.  NOBODY, that's not either a complete fat ass, ALL upper body, or has the head of a bastard cat, can press the 120's for 6-8 that won't produce pictures for people to see on a fucking bodybuilding board.  Sarcasm, either you're fucking lying about your lifts, or you're a fucking retarded looking mother fucker.  Either way, your only significance here comes from your post count alone.  You're known exclusively for 2 things here: your negativity, and your constant perseveration on calling people homo and speaking of homoerotic tendencies in graphic detail.

ok man ok, calm down, "big guy" i'm sorry 455 is a lot.

[McFarland]

That goes alot farther than you might imagine.  When you're not, it's the only thing left.  That part's out of the way now, and I still have my health and youth.

Goatboy, I've been meaning to get over there on the Craig and Kelly forum and post my insight on that whole mess, but that's quite an issue to tackle.  I'll probably get around to it sooner or later.   

I told Bob Chick at the gym last night that I was looking for a TEAM TITUS T-shirt.  He told me he used to have one, that he'd bought as a joke, but wasn't sure he still had it.  If I can't find one to buy from somebody I wanna make my own, or at least talk 240 into selling them again off his freecraigtitus.com site.  Craig had them for sale on his site, but I doubt there'd be anyone sitting by that computer to fill the orders anymore. 

[sarcasm]

i don't even fuck with 455, i don't play around with quarters on the bar, strictly 45's.

[240 is Back]

Not a shirt, but:

Titus at his 1996 peak condition

[McFarland]

455 to parallel aka bitch reps. 

No, the tops of my thighs parallel to the ground reps.  When you stand 6'1", why don't you see how far you have to drop to get the tops of your thighs actually parallel with the ground.  I'm nearly folded up in the bottom position, and if anything, people tell me I shouldn't go so DEEP. 

I love your purpose here trying to take away from my shine.  Ask yourself why, in a thread like this, you'd insist on telling me I'm not strong in the squat.  What are you basing that on?  You're not basing that on my quads, because they're well-developed.  You're basing that on an irrationally-based hope that I'm full of shit.  If I'm full of shit, then it might be ok for you to remain comfortable with who YOU are. 

[sarcasm]

no offense Jeff but Frozzor's physique blows yours out of the water, check out his pics on the pics board and no, 455 ain't strong on squats.

[HERACLES]

even pros have trainers and peeps who give diet advice dumbass...

LOL...Hey Dumbass! I mean, Wise ass, 
If your a personal trainer, I think he would KNOW how to get in better shape than what hes already in..
Im not talking getting in shape for the Mr O, but getting in good enough shape to be able to post up and be proud of!

Get that shirt on there.  It'll make you as much as that video will.  Hell, charge a little more and make the video and shirt a package deal.  That video is my favorite bodybuilding video EVER, BTW.

i feel like posting in this thread even though I have nothing useful to say right now

Alright, well there's SOMETHING I've got that he thinks he oughta have that he doesn't.  I'm not gonna step into one of HIS threads and tell him something like he just told me.

Mike needs someone that believes in his ability to do this, because he's obviously not sure he's capable.  I see his passion for this shit, and I know ANYONE'S capable of getting into decent shape if they have enough interest in this sport.  I actually think he puts himself out here so much simply out of hopes that someone will challenge him enough to give him the drive he needs to overcome his fears.  I relate to that.  Look at ME posting here.  I'm capable of more and I'm looking for peer pressure, too. 

Mike, would you agree?

well thanks for that wasted time you waste of space

[Havenbull]

what your dumbass fails to recognize is that I was mimicking every post you ever made.

[McFarland]

You guys stop, jeez. 

Havenbull, have you ever competed before?

[HERACLES]

hmm..i dont know Mcfarland, I betcha he wont last for more than a month- You know how hard it is to diet, I do- I used to almost cry myself to  bed the last week before ths contest, that was the most brutal time...
I never won a show, but im proud to say ive placed in the top 5 in 3 out of the 4 shows I cimpeted in the NGA.
Anyhow, just talking from experience-
Its EASY to cruise around at mediocre shape, train, etc- but most people wouldnt endure a bodybuilders contest/fasting diet for 3 months. (how long it takes me to getmy abs and get really lean)...

I hope he does it, with your resources all he needs is the mental toughness to not eat cakes and crap food...id say from how he looks, hell have to stop eating red meats too- id put that boy on a fish diet mainly...

[knny187]

Mike you need to call the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Department and file a missing legs report.  Did someone steal your legs?   You are built like an ice cream cone.  Happy New Year! 

P.S.-  My 80 year old grandmother has bigger legs than you.

this shit is funny

Hedge...can you leave this one alone?  It follows the criteria of this forum

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

was this video clip supposed to be funny?

Really. This is a serious question. Are you using yourself as satire or are we really supposed to be impressed?

[Havenbull]

You guys stop, jeez. 

Havenbull, have you ever competed before?

Nope, but its something I mean to try.  Before you call me a pussy, I've never knocked anyone who's competed or tried to compete or you.

I know dieting is the hardest part.

my stats

6'0"
243 lbs
Incline BP 335 x 6
Deads 515 x 6
Squats 435 x6 (not smith machine)

two decent cycles under my belt.

[G o a t b o y]

I've never competed either.

Call me stupid, but I just can't find a reason to add "put on a thong, oil up my body and prance around on a stage for a bunch of fags" to my "to-do" list.

That said, I've dieted myself down to "competition shape" several times.

[Laura Lee]

E-mail ME.  I'm not chasing you after this. 

Dude, seriously...do you know how goddamn easy it is for you to look like you do now?  You're like 35 years old, right?  You've been reading Flex for probably coming up on 20 fucking years, you've even been going to shows for over a fucking decade now...anyone in your position that hasn't competed yet needs to either compete or get the f**k outta here.  You do test, upper body, and eat like a fucking pig.  What you've done so far is so fucking easy, dude.  You've successfully avoided "the point" for all these years.  You'd better make sure you're serious about this, man.  I'll give you one more chance to back out now.  Realize that you don't know what pain is right now.  Nothing near it.  I don't even think *I* do yet (I wanna be a better bodybuilder in 2006)...I read what you said about "where'd you place in that last contest you did again?" and I've got one question for YOU...where do you think YOU would have placed in the last contest I did? 

I'm training again, too now. 

You have no idea what Michael does in the gym, and what he eats.  He eats better/cleaner than anyone I know.  He doesn't eat any sugary items like donuts (who ever wrote that), no deserts, no sweets.  Rarely eats potatoes and pasta.  Never eats breads.  His diets is literally lean chicken, more lean chicken, some filet mignon, steamed veggies and small amounts of rice, rice cakes, all natural peanut butter, egg whites, sometimes nuts.  I KNOW all this because I am the one cooking it.  And believe me, I am sick to death of such a bland diet, so don't go saying he eats like a pig.  He doesn't.  Personally, I think he needs more cardio than he does.  He also busts his ass in the gym.  He is there everyday and spends close to 2 - 2 1/2 hours there.  Again I KNOW this because I am there.  He is quite serious about getting leaner and losing the bodyfat.  Where would have placed in the last contest you did??  He'd probably say dead last  lol.
