Mike Arvilla Movie

[michael arvilla]

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. 

             i never said" where did you place in your last contest"


                          that was 240..................... ....Mike

[michael arvilla]

Bingo! Tons of guys are BIG... that's easy to do, just lift & eat everything in sight.  I think that's why everyone rags on Arvilla for posting his pic up everywhere... he's nothing special. There are dozens of guys like him in every gym in the country.

The real trick is being big with very low bodyfat.

 funny................... i never see the 6ft1" 270 lb bodybuilders in the gyms i go 2

(im always the biggest guy there)
but im sure goatboy is 6 ft1" 300 lbs at 10% right?

[michael arvilla]

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?     

 i do actually..........

[Stavios]

Mike must cheat a little cheri. Maybe he needs more cardio but if he really was eating only what you wrote he would be leaner than he is now, cardio or not.

not bashing, i already said that mike will look good once he diet down. Even the guys who said he has no pec will take back those words. his pecs aren't bad, just that the fat is covering them

[CQ]

I think this sounds interesting.

Size is one thing, being in "competition shape" is a whole different ballgame.

[McFarland]

If that's all you've been eating for the past few months, f**k it...eat McDonald's and lots of Italian dishes for the next month...then we'll get you back on track.  I guess that happens.  Somehow.  Holy shit you're a fatass for eating nothing but chicken steak and steamed veggies. 

I like seeing Cheri stick up for you.  It's the way a good woman stands behind her man.  Even when they're wrong.  Like Kamali's chick does.  She used to send me big long-ass e-mails about "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KING GOES THROUGH!!!"  LOL  Which was all probably true, but the issue wasn't "what he went through," and I digress.  But I still respected the shit out of her for that, though...and envied their relationship.     

This has to be on everything, Mike.  Do you have what it takes?

[Mr Anabolic]

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.

Much too long. 

If he took 1 hour of that time and devoted it to leg training, then he might have a complete physique.

 yes!

[300]

yes!

I love before and after pics!

[HERACLES]

If I saw arvilla at the gym, I would think hes "big" but in terms of height, and overall..FOOTBALL player stats- Hes no where NEAR "BIG" in bodybuilder terms...no way, nohow...NOT as a BODYBUILDER.

[Mr. Intenseone]

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.   

I don't post on threads like this and I don't think I've posted one word for or against McFarland or Mike Ar villa, but Mike, dude...his qualifications are, he's read Flex, done 3 shows, been a avid poster on a bodybuilding board (on that 80% of the time he's been made a fool of) and he's a certified trainer!!

Mike, Don't you have affiliations with John Defends, a freak in his own right? But for Jeff to make those qualifications and actually justify them as legitimate experience, doest that make you wonder?? I'm sure Jeff's a good and well meaning person, but those qualifications leave much to be desired!!

[jeffrey.]

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.

good post

    yes John DEFENDIS is my boss.....(and a heck of a nice guy)

          im sure he would help me,but dont discount Jeff's qualifications either
           (if i bomb out and come in dead last then ill ask for JOHN'S help)

[LAMA-PAI]

Mike you look good for a guy who is NOT a bodybuilder
but you have to understand that when you put your pictures
up as much as you do your going to get shit !
I did shows for years and looked  great at one time
and i never posted a picture on here !
thats the price you pay for being out there !

[Double XL]

LOL, WHAT A CLOWN.

[Freakzilla_2]

You spend entirely way to much time in the gym.  2 1/2 hours?  WTF do you do?  No way you lift that whole time.

The cockiness of this post is sickening, deluted and a crock. McFarland, quit talking like you're all that. A 455 squat is a good squat FOR ANYONE weather your 5'6 or 6'1, it's all relavant... IT DOESN'T MATTER, if you can squat parallel or all the way down with no weight, you should be able to squat that far down with weight..........PERIOD!!!

[Hedgehog]

calories in versus calories out. obviously he's eating way too many calories. it's that simple.

Very true.

Staying away from processed foods, sticking with whole grain carbs and such, will help making dieting much easier, but if Arvilla isn't on a hypo caloric diet, he won't lose weight.

What's a hypocaloric diet?
thanks!

[Hedgehog]

What's a hypocaloric diet?
thanks!

When your caloric intake is lower than your daily calorie
expenditure. So, basically it's cutting. Hyper caloric diet is bulking.

gotcha. thanks.

If arvilla has really been eating as clean as Cheri says, cutting 50 pounds is gonna be tough. 

McFarland, when is your training of mike starting?

[gordiano]

 funny................... i never see the 6ft1" 270 lb bodybuilders in the gyms i go 2

Actually, at my last gym, we had a few of those guys. Big fuckers. A bunch of powerlifters and some recreational bbers. But my last gym catered to the "hardcore" type, so I guess that would explain it.
