so no fancy handshake, got it.

Well there is a fancy handshake, but I thought we were just talking about ID'ing each other from across the room. It's also helpful if I've seen the guy before at the monthly Family-killing meetings.

HOW DO I FIND YOU AT THE BAR, BB? DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU??!

This thread made me go calculate my BMI. Good lord, that's probably the dumbest system I've ever seen. Any moderately muscular guy is going to be "overweight".

Duh. It's height divided by weight in an inconsistent unit system with no regard for body type.

Just checking in, I'll think of something witty later

I could hardly believe it. I checked the damn page like six times for a measurement input or anything remotely scientific. Nope. Height+Weight.

Found a body fat percentage calculator. Now I feel awesome again.

I WILL BE WEARING MY "I AM GAY BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE TOO OBVIOUS ABOUT IT THUS I'M SCRUFFY AND UNKEMPT AT ALL TIMES AND HAVE TERRIBLE FASHION SENSE" T-SHIRT.

either skinny or thick but not ripped...I dont really know why it is a turn off but it just is. One of my vendors asked me out and we were texting about what are your hobbies etc....he was like i pretty much love working out...then sent me a pic of his abs and told me he wanted to put on another 20lbs of muscle. That ended that.

The sexiest guy I ever dated (IMO) def wasnt the hottest but turned me on the most was a big thick dude with huge triceps and he was just big....like he could whoop anyone's ass....

MMMMM.....okay so imma go watch a video now.

i have that shirt

Everyone can call us shirt buddies!

Like I said in the other thread, I'm only 6' and 145 lbs but I can bench 305. I just know how to lift weights correctly. It's 70% psychological, 20% form, and only 10% strength. My mind is my strongest muscle, which really just makes me strong all around.

Because I am humble outside of message boards, most girls don't know how strong I am until a friend speaks on my behalf. They are so shocked that I can be that strong that they have to see for themselves. Let me tell you, it really turns them on. They understand what a strong mind I must have to be able to lift that much weight and girls are attracted to a powerful brain. The funny thing is, if all guys understand the correct way to lift, I would no longer be one of the strong guys in the weight room. I just learned how to lift the right way.

I honestly look like a weight about 185, 190. So if you saw me, you wouldn't think...Oh sheet, eat a sammich.

Post a pic...bonus points if it is posed with a sammich.

Looks like I'm gonna need some kinesiology majors to help back me up on how the mind is the source behind all around body strength

You're going to need more than that to convince somebody who has been a coach for almost a decade. 145 lbs on a six foot frame is bordering on underweight. You cannot healthily lift double your body-weight at that point, even if you somehow manage to pack muscle on. If you were one of my athletes I'd put you on the GOMAD diet and keep you out of the weight room until you hit 155, then have you start pouring muscle onto your frame once you work back in a healthy body-fat range.

Actually, your target minimum weight before you get into strength training is closer to 175-185. At that point you can afford to stop the GOMAD diet and get into a low-calorie, muscle-building diet.

I assure you I am quite strong and I could out-strong any of you in a stronging contest!

Keep dreamin'

Mind muscle connection is a real phenomenon that some people have more developed than others.

It is the mind and body's ability to recruit more muscle fibers for a task than someone else with a lower mind-muscle connection may have.

AgAllStar's claims are likely legitimate if he has worked hard developing his mind muscle connection to recruit all the extra fibers to push out large amounts of weight. Controlling your central nervous system so well is rare but it definitely can be done.

Not a fan of shredded. I like average. I know it sounds weird, but a guy that is obsessed with how much he can bench is not a guy I want to be with.

this is funny to see from straw because i keep imagining her guido boyfriend to be a replica of The Situation

I'm 5'7" 215 and I'm not ripped. Haven't checked bf % lately but it's probably around 10%.

I'm obviously very stocky (my legs are freakin ridiculous). Most people guess way lower than what my weight actually is (which means I have more muscle). That damn BMI chart says I'm at 35. Apparently I'm going to die soon.

There is no such thing as a low-calorie, muscle-building diet. To gain weight you have to consume more than you burn. Most muscle-building diets recommend a significant amount of calories.

So in otherwords, it's complete bull****.

Kinesiology major here, and anyone who doesn't believe agallstar's claims is a gotdamn idiot. It's science people, learn some science, get educated, good lord.

I tried.

I will however, now assume that you look exactly like BikerFox.

No not bull****, did you read my post at all?

If he is 145 and can bench over 300 pounds he has clearly developed superior mind muscle connection and not too much more is going to stand in his way from increasing his lifts.

Jersey Joe is not like the situation. At all. Well, other than his hair.
