While she is hitting menopause now it would be nice to have a kid or two around.
She made a mistake if this isn’t health related.

Positive Bodybuilding Discussion & Talk / The 5 most successful and influential people in fitness of this era
« Last post by ilovebenching on Today at 05:36:03 PM »The 5 most successful and influential people in fitness of this era (this will inspire you)
Determining who is "more successful" among Simeon Panda, Larry Wheels, Greg Doucette, Jeff Seid, and Zyzz depends on how success is measured: financial wealth, multi-disciplinary athleticism, digital business revenue, early pioneering status, or cultural legacy.
Below is the definitive ranking based on business revenue, athletic achievements, digital authority, and cultural impact, followed by a breakdown for each.
The Overall Ranking
1. Simeon Panda ──► [ Global Brand Empire & Top Financial Net Worth ]
2. Larry Wheels ──► [ Multidisciplinary Strength & Unmatched Virality ]
3. Greg Doucette ──► [ Highest Digital Conversion & Direct Business Scaling ]
4. Jeff Seid ──► [ Early Golden-Era Icon & Competitive IFBB Pro ]
5. Zyzz ──► [ Mythical Pioneer & Eternal Cultural Legacy ]
1. Simeon Panda (The Commercial & Financial Powerhouse)
Primary Success Metric: Financial wealth, corporate brand building, and mainstream global reach.
Why He’s #1: Forbes named Simeon one of the top 10 fitness influencers globally. With over 17 million combined followers, he built the most commercially scalable business model on this list. Rather than relying solely on social media ad revenue or single sponsorship checks, he scaled his own proprietary brand (Just Lift), fitness apps, global tour expos, and high-tier international supplement equity deals, placing his estimated net worth around $10 Million+ USD.
2. Larry Wheels (The Athletic Phenom & Viral King)
Primary Success Metric: Multi-sport athletic dominance, extreme viral content, and brand diversification.
Why He’s #2: Purely from a strength and athletic perspective, Larry stands alone. He is an elite multi-sport athlete who has competed and set world records or competed at high levels across Powerlifting, Strongman, Arm Wrestling, and Professional Bodybuilding. His ability to constantly reinvent himself and collaborate across strength sports has given him an incredibly broad, cross-demographic fan base and a massive fitness brand (Personal Record / PR clothing and gear) with a multi-million dollar net worth.
3. Greg Doucette (The Digital Monetization & Business Master)
Primary Success Metric: Highest direct-to-consumer conversion rate, digital product revenue, and high-engagement authority.
Why He’s #3: While he started purely as an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and Guinness World Record powerlifter, Coach Greg built one of the most profitable direct-to-consumer digital fitness empires in internet history. By mastering YouTube commentary and reaction formats, he leveraged his high-volume video strategy into massive sales of his Anabolic Cookbook, personalized coaching apps, and HTLT Supplements. In terms of raw profit margins and digital business efficiency, he rivals or surpasses almost anyone in online fitness.
4. Jeff Seid (The Aesthetic Pioneer & Competitive Standard)
Primary Success Metric: Early-mover advantage, competitive IFBB credentials, and teenage superstardom.
Why He’s #4: Jeff Seid was the face of the early 2010s "Aesthetics" boom alongside Zyzz. He holds a distinction that no one else on this list has: becoming the youngest IFBB Men's Physique Pro in history at age 19 and competing on the Mr. Olympia stage multiple times. While his business ventures (SeidWear) and online presence became quieter over time compared to Simeon or Greg, his visual aesthetic set the template for an entire decade of fitness creators.
5. Zyzz / Aziz Shavershian (The Cultural Icon & Godfather of Modern Gym Culture)
Primary Success Metric: Cultural movement creation, internet immortality, and generational impact.
Why He’s Ranked #5 (With a Major Asterisk): Financially and commercially, Zyzz died in 2011 at age 22 before social media monetization, sponsorships, and digital fitness brands truly existed. However, culturally, he is #1. Without Zyzz, the modern "sickkunt" gym culture, aesthetic subcultures, fitness YouTube, and meme lexicon ("U mirin?", "We're all gonna make it, brah") would not exist in the form they do today. Everyone higher on this list built their careers within the digital ecosystem that Zyzz helped pioneer.

Trump Media Falls to All-Time Low As Republicans Lose Congress
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/markets/stocks/articles/trump-media-falls-time-low-172631369.html
The simultaneous drop in both assets — which trade heavily on retail speculation — signals investors may be anxious about the implications of the election for the businesses with links to the president, which are now expected to receive fresh congressional oversight.
For months, Democrats have signaled their appetite to pursue investigations into the president and his family's business interests if they prevail in either chamber, leaving any company connected to the first family as a potential target.
"LAWYER UP," Robert Garcia, the California Democrat in line to chair the House Oversight Committee, posted on social media as the results rolled in on Tuesday night.

Now go put in your Kalshi bets. 17% chance. You win 455 from every 100 you bet.
Really though, it's him. It's as plain as day just like when Obama won. He's got charisma. He's good looking, he's well spoken, he's smart. He's white AND a Jew. BUT he's never taken AIPAC money. He's voted to block money for offensive weapons for Israel but has supported funding for their defense.
He hasn't called what's been happening a genocide, he's slyly talked his way out of it and said the international courts should be the ones determining what it is.
If he can convince the people that there's enough separation between him and Israel and he has a history of being critical of Israel when one should be, then he'll be President and the first Jewish President. Why not? There's been Jews in literally every other office in government.

Yeah, a lot of these broads are off the deep end on that stuff.
She looks horrible. Was hot in her 20's.
I was shocked by how dumb she was the first time I heard her attempt to be a sports announcer.
Dumb as a box of rocks.

Gossip & Opinions / Re: You dont "add muscle"
« Last post by Titus Pullo on Today at 04:54:07 PM »Dorain also claimed to be training harder than anyone else, total bullshit, anyone can do 2 sets to failure.
Imagine watching Dorian doing a round of giant sets with Milos, he would have had a heart attack
You and I talked about this ages ago. I think that Rimjob troll was in the mix, too
I don't expect you to agree with me now anymore than you did back then
, *but* I actually think Dorian wasn't too off-base with his claim. Look at what how his contemporaries trained: Dillet, lazy: Flex, also very damned lazy; Haney, ehh...I'm from his neck of the woods and lifted with him as a teen, and his training was, shall we say, conservative (just like on his show...the man could flat bench 405 for 5-6, yet he rarely did that); Kevin worked heavy and hard, but after a certain point, only lifted a few months per year vs. Yates pounding it year-round; Nasshole, I dunno...his training tapes didn't impress me at the time, but my memory is going; Shawn was a very hard worker, though, in fairness.Dorian DID seem to put more effort, consistently, than at least most of those guys. Low volume isn't mutually exclusive with busting ass. For example, Arnold worked hard but from everything I've seen, his marathon volume sessions were: a, something he only did in contest prep; and b, he never took sets to actual failure. He'd come close, but no Cuban. He left reps in the tank. Even when he was grunting and making a spectacle for the cameras with those cable crossovers in "Pumping Iron," he could've done more.
There's no question that there are tons of guys who trained harder, going beyond failure on lots of sets, all the time. But that's contextually sensitive. None of those guys counted as Dorian's rivals, and that was what he was talking about -- not gym rats or pros who weren't in the mix for top spots.
That's my two cents. I'll remove Dozzer's dick from my holes now. I know you hate him anyway, and as I said, I've little doubt I'll change your mind.
