Board Member's History/Stats

[Luv2Hurt]

Yuper to all the above Luv........ Its just prolonging the inevitable. A giant bloodbath and the worst of the worst siezing control.

I bet more of our guys been Killed in one incident over there that all the cops die stateside in a year.

Construction work is way more dangerous than being a cop. There may be cities and particular LE jobs with higher serious injury/ death rates. But on average I'd bet large taht any job in const trades is WAY more dangerous then LE.

Leaving Iraq is going to throw it into the hand of worse than Sadam. Bush made a Giant blunder and refuses to admit it. Just go take a walk thru your nearby VA hospital and tell me how safe it is over there.
Problem is we's talking Oil and securety of the whole damn region. This is a disaster, and I think leaving will create a even bigger one.

This is one of the best things you have written and so very true.  Sometimes it takes an eye opener like that to wake people up. Think about how many lives and families have been destroyed because of this war.....Goddamn it! THINK ABOUT IT!  And for what?

Well as you can see bro Police did not even make the list.  All the respect in the world to Police, they have a tuff job.

YES, Po Po do have a tough job and much respect.

My best friend was killed in the line of duty in '99. Pulled over a car with a cracked winshield and when he walked toward the car, the guy pointed his gun toward my friend, not even aiming at him and fired off a bunch of rounds to scare him and his partner away. Punk then fled and a straybullet went thru the arm pit of his vest and severed an artery in his heart. Died instantly. When it is your time, its your time...

I too know those that did their tour in Iraq and all of them complained that it was pointless to be there. Some cops I know are going over there to "train" the Iraq guys in police work bringing back six figures plus.

[trab]

NO amt of money is worth it IMO. My friend that just got back was talkin about the Private contractors and the money they make...
(He works on elect generators, easy 4-Him to get a job there private)

I asked him if he'd go back for 6 Figures, slight pause - NO!
Said he might "Think about it".

Yeah, the guys I talked to that were going over had not left yet. They were customers and have not seen them since. Myself, not worth it at all....

[Overload]

Well I did a quick search and in 2005 55 police officers nationally were killed in the line of duty.  The # was 57 in 2004.  Tons more soldiers have been killed than 55 or 57, just goes to show you cant believe what you hear on TV.  The Bush administration probally came up with the phony stat to take away from the fact that they are murdering so many of our young boys every year and spending billions of dollars of money we don't have to support it.  All the rhetoric in the world will not change those facts. 

Of course your buds wanna go back, there is nothing for them to do here.  So they fall into that military lifestyle.  Don't fool yourself with that macho crap.....it plays for keeps.  I can speak on this as a veteran who has served this country, I have seen both sides.  It makes me sick we are in this war still, guess what? As soon as whe pull out of there its back to square one, all for nothing.  Remember Saigon?  I say pull out right now and cut our loses.

I agree 100%.

i've had family die in Irag for our "War for Oil"...makes me sick. Chalk it up as a loss and get the fuck out, the day we leave it will go back to normal, but we will also lose our hold on all the "oil" we found instead of WMD's.

Im sorry to hear that... way to many have had lives destroyed.

Bush did NOT think this thru or listen to advisors who know the region, and thats unforgivable. (esp for a Oil man)

We're screwed. We cant even hold that piece of realestate, much less controll it.
Its NOT going to be business as usuall after we finaly throw in the towel. ANd tahts what leaving will be no matter how they phrase it.

They (Insurgents) may create the illusion of peace till we are good and gone, after that the moderates there all die.
Then who runs the worlds gas pump?
Prepare mentaly for $5 - $10 Gal Gas. Id say prepare financialy, but 90% cant.

Just what happens after that I dont know.

I think They should be shown that We Dont need send one soldier there to make them see things our way.

Perhaps the next president with PMS could do that?   
No, Im not voting for her. But the Repus-bli-cants are not offering anyone I'd even use to vote against Hillary.

My personal update. Now if this isn't depressing I don't know what is, lol!

This past summer when I ended my diet I weighed 193lbs, bf 4.3% 5'8". After the diet I went right back into my regular training, just normal bulking diet and bulking cycle, by December I was up to around 217lbs. But by the first of the year due to some personal issues, (Ripster if you happen to read this you should have a very good idea, lol!) I really started slacking on my eating and training. Still trained, but not nearly as hard, didn't eat bad but not near enough...but definitely much looser eating then I have in years.

OK, so I weighed and checked my bf  4wks ago...still 5'8" lol, but here's the kicker....203lbs, 14.5% bf...talk about a huge shift in composition!!!!!! If that's not depressing I don't know what is!

Anyway, I've finally started to get the bug back to really start going full force again with everything...training is starting to be fun again and my eating is getting better...more regimented like it should be. Personally I'm also doing a lot better...it's amazing how your own personal life can effect everything else...especially when you let it.

So I feel I'm getting back to where I'm supposed to be and need to be mentally and that is a very good feeling.

Arnold jr. is back on the hunting trail...all I can say is it's about fucking time!

How is that not attainable?

[candidizzle]

well i like this board best now because its one of the only ones with good moderators and "real" people

so i need to post some stats

i think my history is kind of known cuz i have big mouth ? lol

well currently i weigh right around 230 lbs. my bf is at about 14 % and lowering... it should be considerably lower withing a month though.. 19 years old..

well my aspirations dont have so much to do with becoming "big" in the sense that i care about being intimidating being manly or any of that junk. i could care less what people think of me.

my inspiration is a picture i have been workin on in my head (and on paper) of what i think is the ideal physique... what i think is beatuful... what to me, epitomizes how i feel about myself as aperson...   

like in the matrix movie, how when you pop up in the matrix and you look like what you think you look like in your mind ? well, if you could have a physique matrix, where it shows you what you feel like...   thats what i mean.. thats what i am trying to build

but realisticallly, the physique i want, is a very large one, only because it takes a very large man to be able to hit the shots i want to hit and still look full and beatuful...

so as for weight...  id say at my height.. ( about 5'10'', maybe 5'11'' ).. i need to be around 260  to look the way i want to look.. and thats a lean body weight.. probably like 6 % bf

 

so thats me some current statss and my aspirations

[cobrajoe]

New to this board and wanted to say hey to all.

Stats:  35 years old, 5' 10", 220lbs, and currently around 13%bf.  I've worked out for years and have done three past cycles.  Two things I've learned is that more is not necessarily better and that you gotta keep learning. 

I'm looking forward to getting some help and helping as much as I can for the people of the board.  I'd like to get to 10% BF.  That is my next goal!

Keep lifting all

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy reading everyone's story...not sure if others do, but hey, what can you do?

I know you said you could take or leave gear, that you only use it if there is some around. Leads me to think that a lot of what you used may have been UG. Granted, the dbol you used back in the 80's was probably legit, but IMO, if you can ever get your hands on some human grade test, assuming you haven't before, your opinions will change.

BTW, glad you're enjoying the board.

So many things have changed, and my views have as well!

All for the better of course!

[Arnold jr]

Wow, this thread is kind of funny to read for me...it's strange looking back four yrs ago at life compared to now. A lot has changed since then and I do mean a lot.

I'm 28 220lbs 6' 2" 10%-12% body fat (I like food   and us Italians like to eat). Been in sports my entire life, mainly boxing from 13 to 21. Did my first cycle at 18 of winny, dbol, deca and paid out the ass because I had no idea what I was doing. I did not touch another cycle until I was 23. I have been cycling about 1 - 2 cycles every year since. Now days all I do is work, train MMA, lift weights and spend time with the family.
