The great thing about fans is that you can talk shit to 2% of them, and be nice to the other 98%.

[PJim]

Such intensity and focus 

[Papper]

How can he be so big yet completely uninteresting to watch in the gym?

He makes training videos seem like paint drying.

This has been the same deal for 10 years now. It works for him.

We are rapidly approaching the bodybuilding singularity: where the drugs will be so effective that it will actually hinder you to train. You "prep" will be about eating and your perfectly timed drug regimen. The rest of the time will be about staying at your basal metabolic rate and letting the drugs do their magic.

I just like seein the shots of the inside. Damn those were the days. Fun as hell. It looks nothing like it used to except the paneling. Was a blue color and not maintained at all. It had all very old school equipment of course. When I think back I think of it as the golds of the Midwest. I remember moving from my little rural PA town being one of the big fish in a small bowl gym then walking in to manions one days and was in shock. I'd never seen so many huge guys that looked like aliens compared to the normal person. Soon I'd be working there and oh the fun times. I came I near the tail end of the gym. I think when I got there it was to last two to three more years. I can't remember. I only know Jim as a great guy and was always nice to me. He was going thru the process of selling it to some local rich kid who although really nice kid Kevin and then its demise slowly came to be. Man what a hotbed of local bodybuilders. There were two squat racks. One was right where the Dumbbells are where cheath is sitting concentration curling. The other the opposite side of the room. Manions was on the second floor. Underneath was a post office. Oh man they'd come up bitching that plaster was falling on their heads from people dropping weights. Some funny shit!!!!oh the stories. When I see people that worked out at manions today it's like u were old platoon buddies. Everyone looks back on those days as such fun times.

It feels sacrilegious to see all that newer equipment in the old manions gym.

Phil already has the drug timing down.  How the fuck do you "grow into" a show and lose BF at the same time? -lol   Looks like he may be doing it different this year though... he stayed big in the off season.

Dude, Check Phil's first DVD from 2006. He has trained the same way. For him, nothing has really changed over the years. This works for him. His "boring" workouts gets him results, and no major injuries so far.

[Fortress]

Hard physical work is not required in modern bodybuilding. It's all about massive abuse of anabolic drugs and taking insulin "correctly" pre- and post-workout.

In the gym, pump up with some random machines and dumbells, and then get back to injecting and popping.

Heath is nothing more than a severely (and superficially) overinflated "champion".

Without his drugs and pump sessions, the guy would begin to dramatically shrink within weeks, if not days.

No lie. There's a serious manlet bodybuilder at my gym. Stands maybe 5'2. Maybe. He's extremely jacked most of the time. Massive. Recently there was a gap of no more than seven days when I hadn't seen him. Then, two days ago, when I'm at the gym squatting, there he is.

I swear his overall volume of muscular mass had shrunk by half.

I am not kidding. Half.

In no more than one or two weeks.

Phil's fate is identical.

[Pray_4_War]

Oh, there's that bag of smashed assholes I misplaced.  Thanks!

[Mr.1derful]

How times have changed.

[Pray_4_War]

Is that Phil Heath, or Uncle Phil from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

Shave that beard dude.

[Henda]

compared to ronnie and Dorians training videos he looks remarkably unimpressive training on video

[hench]

Spot on post, totally agree.

All these overboard workouts with terrible form are what lead to the injuries and not being able to move at 50. I think there can be a balance. Watching lee Haney train was inspiring. He worked hard but didn't train stupid. I think a lot of it today is drugs which is why they look so terrible and wrf kind of drugs do they have in the middle east

I find it inspiring everytime I see Ronnie roll out of the hospital after having yet another verteba fused or removed.

After the drugs and food, some marginal and minimal sort of weight training is necessary to create this physique.  Otherwise they wouldn't bother.  It is nothing more than a nuisance requirement chore to these guys.

They don't even seem like they like training. Say what you want but Dana Linn Bailey and even Kai Greene get into their workouts like they love the iron.

[Disgusted]

The epitome of all drugs.

narrow, small, and fucked up.
