Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Thanks Nic. Traps and Legs, got it. and those obliques definitely need a lot of work

Its cool bro. When I get there, you'll get a message. Although making millions from powerliftng is a lil bit out there. thousands are more realistic lol

@ RedJeep, 
are u asking me or Yet?

As far as competitions go, yes.  But don't forget about endoresments, sponsors, interviews, talkshows, magazines, photoshoots, etc.

It wouldn't be too hard.

manchild...ur goals are a little out of reach i think. i lol'ed hard when i saw ur goal of increasing ur bench 120lbs by jan 1. and also 40lbs of muscle by then? wow...

 
  Not the least bit racist, but do African american males have a faster motabolism (sp)in general? I have alot of Friends (african american) and they all eat like crap and play a little ball, and sorry, they all look like him (body wise)  where did I get cheated on with the fat burning gene?
 

[sm=bsflag.gif]... I'm kidding. Anybody else wanna answer this one--I have no idea how to respond.

lol  call BS all ya want, I have been to Kenya and Nairobi, and I know first hand, the african  male has extreme fat burning potential. I was a missionary in Africa for 4 years. Saw their diets , went to school there too. They can eat 6000 calories a day run maybe 3 miles a week and have 6% BF  anywhere between the ages of 16-50.

  Was just curious if it is a known genetic

and ya cant bench 450 lol

Lol I heard that alot of times cause I do eat like crap ( greasyfoodsgalore.com ) and I'm in pretty nice shape, at least if you compare me to other kids my age... and other than lifting weights I don't play sports of any sort except 2 years of highschool football

My 5x5s as of November 2nd 2008.
Squat 155lbs
Bench 155lbs
Deadlift 155lbs

Connelly's 5x5s as November 2nd 2008
Bench 115
Squat 145
Deadlift 165

Andy11's 5x5 as November 2nd 2008
Bench 150
Squat 150
Deadlift 175

Yea dont get me wrong the african male is beautiful (no homo) they have a natural tone and extreme power in fat shredding.

lmao...

regarding the subject this thread seems to have headed. There was a book that was written, I cant remember the name. But it talks about how a lot of sports are dominated by black athletes even though they make up a very small % of the population.

One statistic that was interesting was a black male has a 1 in 4000 chance of playing for the NBA. While a white male has a 1 in 90000 chance.

The guy who wrote the book goes into explanations and experiments. Apparently the reason why black athletes tend to do better is because of their origins in Africa. And the way that they became accustomed to living was encoded into their DNA and passed down through generations over thousands of years.

So do genetics play a role? apparently, I believe it does. But IMO way too many people use it as a piss poor excuse, genetics are a part of it but then you can count in heart, desire, stamina, determination, will and numerous other things, sports or weight lifting included.

Anyone can achieve their goals if they are willing to work for it, it may take you a little bit longer or maybe a little shorter. The "My genetics are crap, thats my excuse" gets old real fast.

But back on topic. Your legs could be a bit bigger, but they still look very good. Traps/obliques are the only thing I noticed.

I think you look great, and what you look like right there is close to where I wanna be regarding my goals right now. Good job!

this is a non-racist note; black people also account for over 75 % of crime in the US.  NOT A RACIST AT ALL. ONE OF THE GUYS I WORKOUT WITH IS BLACK.  i'm just saying that 75% is ridiculous

 If you want to know why Black people are good athletes, let's take a trip back in time.  During the times of slavery, Blacks were bred.  The biggest, healthiest males got to have sex with the best females, and so on and so forth.

There was a book written that something like 85% of all African-Americans are related within the past 10 generations.

Which would also explain their high crime rate.

poverty is the reason for the crime tardo....with any race, the poor/ uneducated are the ones who commit the crimes. Think people think

If you look at statistics, crime goes down during times of economic hardship.  Rarely do people kill/steal/rape because they need to do that to survive.

The United States economy has been slowly going down the past several years.  Which would indicate, by your reasonings, that crime should go up.  However, crime has dropped dramatically in the past several years.

Also, if you say that people are committing crimes to survive (indicating they make less than one dollar a day, which is the poverty threshold) let me throw another statistic at you.

There were over 5 million theft attempts from electronic stores in 2006.

There were 86 theft attempts from food stores in 2006.

Tardo.

Owned.

only if yet can back those numbers up.

But anyway race aside, this guy has clearly worked his balls off and he looks great. I do not agree with any of the aforementioned genetics bull.

here's the deal, I've been around several D1 level basketball players, I went to HS with 0 guys who played D1 ball. But after seeing the guys I have in college I know that at least 3 of them from HS could have. The difference between the guys I went to college with and the guys I went to HS with, is effort.

Its got more to do with heart than anything. There are more "athlete's" born everyday than anyone really knows. 50% of these "natural athletes" are more interested in other things, racing, knitting, video games, anything, its just we'll never know how good these kids could have been. There's probably another 44% that play sports and are too lazy to ever reach anywhere near their potential (I am in this group). The other 6% of "natural athletes" are either injured or they just plain make it.

Sure I pulled these numbers out of my *** but I bet I'm not that far off.

For whatever reason, be it economical, social or otherwise young Black men ("pound for pound") work harder at athletics than whites do. Maybe its because whites see more options than black men believe they have in front of them. It could be that they see it as a legit way out.  I dont know why IMO white people tend to be pretty lazy. I guess everyone regardless of race likes to be lazy...

Either way manchild looks better than I do.

Homo fully intended .
