Dude - there is literally NO comparison between you and hankyank. There isn’t a single “good” BB judge that would have him ahead of you. I would say “and he knows it” - but I absolutely believe that hankyank sees some distorted image when he looks at himself. He doesn’t even understand what round muscle bellies means??
Anyway it’s far too early to start in on that jive turkey. As far as smoking - I feel pretty sure that you never smoked more than Marcus Ruhl. I hung out with him for a few hours one night and I sht you not he smoked two packs of cigs!!! To be fair I didn’t see him open the first pack and wasn’t paying attention to count the cigs, but he would light one off of the butt of another and I saw him open the new pack and finish it. He is one cool cat though. Humble as hell and freaking funny.
Thanks for that my friend.....I told Hanky that in plenty of shows that I have competed in, they would group all of the masters competitors into one big class regardless of what they weighed and that I have beaten plenty of guys that weighed two hundred or over two hundred pounds,,,,also I got a late start competing due to my once terrible lifeststyle {a very long sad drawn out tale LOL

}.
At any rate he thinks he`d beat me and maybe he would, I always referred to myself as a type of journeyman bodybuilder with terrible genetics and a birdlike bone structure....very small frame with a super fast metabolism when I was younger....I am certainly nothing special but I made up for my shortcomings simply by training my ass off and dieting like a Spartan.
I don`t hate Hanky but his arrogance knows no bounds and he isn`t the least but humble.....a quality that if he did posses would do him a world of good.
Like I said, I know that I`m a nobody but I know a lot about bodybuilding and have trained and advised tons of people where Hanky probably wouldn`t piss in a guys ear if the guys brain was on fire.....in essence he`s full of himself which is not a redeemable quality especially in bodybuilding because no one likes a pompous braggart.
I always smoked....but when I moved up here in northern NY from Massachusettes,I was bored stiff {tiny little dead ass town} and smoked more and more strictly out of boredom and certainly not because I enjoyed them but in essence I was hooked.....hardest thing I ever had to do was quit smoking......terrible habit that almost killed me.....if I wasn`t diagnosed with lung Cancer I would still be smoking.....worst and hardest habit to quit but when they tell you that you are gonna` die, that`s some serious motivation to quit.
