Why not? This argument is absolutely irrelevant. Why? Because facts are facts. He could have lost 50 lbs, and it wouldn't make a difference. Of course, he couldn't have lost 50 lbs, but the evidence is that he did carry less muscle at the 2001 ASC than at the 1999 Olympia. The explanation is very simple: if you have only 3 or 4 lbs of both water and fat to lose and yet your bodyweight goes down by 10 lbs or more, than you lost lean muscle mass. A fact is a fact, and all conjectures are disproven by a simple physiological anlysis. Your argument that Ronnie might have gained muscle because time elapsed is illogical and irrelevant because the weight, fat and water levels of his 1999 Olympia physique wouldn't have allowed him to maintain, let alone gain muscle mass from there to the 2001 ASC.
Suckmyasshole tactic #3 - if your argument rests on nothing more than assumptions, make up evidence to 'strengthen' your position.

First, I don't know if he gained 15 lbs of lean muscle. Secondly, why not? When you're in a depleted catabolic state and then you up your calories, you gain mass very quickly. Furthermore, as I have laready elucidated, this speculation is irrelevant because the mathematical and phsysiological fact clearly point out ot the fact that Ronnie did, indeed, lose muscle weight from the 1999 Olympia to the 2001 ASC. Did he gain 15 lbs in a few months after that? That's a different topic.
mere speculation on your behalf, which you're trying to pass off as fact. I agree that Ronnie lost weight from the 99 Mr. Olympia to the 01 ASC. What we don't see eye to eye on is whether this included lean mass. We don't even know when his weight at both contests were taken. For all we know, the 257 lbs could have been measured at the evening show in 99 when he carried more water.
I never need to save face, sport, because I'm never wrong.
ha ha ha ha, just ask Pubes. He embarrassed you for the pathetic lowlife that you are.
I never took more than 24 hours to address your drivel, so f**k you. I don't post here 24/7 because I have a life and I don't consider replying to you to be something relevant in my life.
bwahahahahahahahaha. You got jokes, son. Where do you come up with this shit? "I never need to save face b/c I'm never wrong." "I have a life and I don't consider replying to you to be something relevant in my life." ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I guess that's why you repost yourself several times until I respond to you, or why you threaten to call me a b*tch if I don't address your posts. Now all of a sudden you're too busy to be inconvenienced by my replies.

I posted a link showing where the brachialis muscle is.
I didn't ask you to provide a link showing me where the brachialis muscle is. I asked you to circle Ronnie's brachialis to prove that you know where it's located. The reason I issued you the challenge is b/c I knew you were wrong. Once you realized this, you tried to weasel your f*aggot ass out to save face. Then you started making up excuses, "I won't respond until you first prove to me the following..."
