TRAINING ADVICE FOR CHRIS MANSON!!

[chris_mason]

Geeze, Chris.... buy a razor and get out in the sun once in a while! 

If you worked 80+ hours per week, had a family of 5, and had to work in your training as well you may not find the luxury of time to go out and tan.  In fact, you probably would not even consider it.

You sell protein powder over the internet... why the hell would you have to work 80 hours a week?  I assume you have your stuff manufactured and packaged third party, and your ordering/billing should all be automated, so what on earth takes up 80 hours?

Gee, you caught me lying about the hours I work.

I work that much or more and it is killing me.  Trust me, or don't, the choice is yours.

Please post your barbell row video. Thanks.

I work about 60+ hours a week.  Although my business is automated as well, I do spend time making consistant upgrades and advancements to the business simply because its my business and I enjoy the work.  I suppose Chris feels the same way about Atlarge.


Tanning however is something Chris does need to use and he may wish to check on my self-tanning products.  They are olive-oil based ingredients and they won't make him turn orange or other funny collors

He could confer with Arvilla regarding effectiveness on the Mach VI.

Or talk with some our exotic ladies regarding waxing.

I didn't say you were lying, I said it didn't make sense that you should have to work that much based on what you do.  Maybe you're just a slow, inefficient worker?

[pobrecito]

Which barbell row video?

I believe you had a 385lb BB row. Thanks

My only criticism of Chris's body hair is that he is likely to be feeding some musclebear beatoffs right now but if he's ok with that thats cool.

You look like you can handle a fair bit more for chinning Chris.  I always wondered what a decent natural strength weighted chin is.

Maybe I run more than one company as well.

Please don't comment on what you have no clue about. 

As to my being slow and inefficient it has served me well thus far.  What have YOU done?  Please, post a picture of yourself and show us the business you have built from scratch.

I'll hold my breath...

[pobrecito]

I'd be interested to see how much you could do on a strict SLDL....straight legs and a straight back.

This isn't about me; this is about you and your pale, pasty, hairy-assed inefficient working style.

I can't find that rowing video. 

I don't do a SLDL with perfectly straight legs because I think it places the lower back in too precarious of a position.

Now that is a thought I really didn't need to have running around in my head...

So work less and put a few of your kids up for adoption.

I see, you do your SLDL much like Yates did his, in fact it looks like a carbon copy, and you have great back development so you know what you are doing. Now, if you watch Ronnie do his SLDL he keeps his legs straight, and that's the way I prefer to do them, I can "feel" it much more in my hamstrings, but I only use 245lbs for my final set, much different than 455.

Also, a shame you can't find the BB row video. The BB row is my favorite exercise.

Lol, good solution.

Mason,

what are your thoughts on weighted CHINS vs. reverse grip pulldowns for back development?

I recall Bay mentioning a regular posing clip of Aaron Maddron being a hot item in several gay bars.

Wouldn't surprise me if Mason could become an instant fave with the bear crowd.








Unless, of course... he already is.

Mason shouldn't sweat it (maybe shave it). Rocco Siffredi is a gay icon, and he's a cool dude through and through.

Mason,

I think chins are a superior movement overall but either can do the trick if you train progressively.

but WHY are chins superior?
