Van Damme

EL37 · 10-09-2009, 10:50 AM

We all know Jean Claude Van Damme is the man, he is the only guy who can make ballet manly, anyone know what kind of workouts he does/did in particular? I have pretty large biceps and am building consistently but I would like to know what his main exercises were and I think it would make an interesting topic for discussion as well.

Also my biceps are big but they are round and within about an inch and a half of where the forearm and upper arm connect it is flat, is this normal, genetic, or indication that I am not working the full muscle when I lift?

Van Damme is a punk-ass bitch and known fraud. Sources say his workouts were all based around his coke usage schedule.

He fears me.

Van Damme was my role model while growing up (srs)

I disagree but then again I am obligated to be a fan having grown up mainly in the 90s haha. Anyway, this post should have some interesting replies...

Van Damme got his butt kicked in a bar fight a few years back by a guy who is completely untrained in any form of martial arts and was wasted.

Van Damme is awesome and a cinematic legend! His movies are fun. His Street fighter was better than Kristen Kreuks. Bloodsport is one of the best martial arts movies ever. So is Kickboxer. Cyborg was better than Cyborg 2 and that one had Angelina Jolie...therefore we can conclude that Van Damme is a better actor than Jolie. He just doesn't get props because he doesn't adopt 400 kids. People like Bruce Lee, but Bruce Lee has nothing on JCVD. Bruce Lee wasn't a guest star on THE HIGHEST EVER RATED EPISODE of FRIENDS!

I read somewhere that he likes to switch up his workouts all the time. So there's no "JCVD routine". He just hits the gym hard and works out hard.

I think he meant "cloned". That's what "Bloodsport" was about, right?

No.

Bloodsport was about a nerd named 'Lencho'.

I am going to take this with a huge grain of salt

Here is a short anecdote about Van Damme. A couple years ago I was in Tel Aviv(Israel for those of you who are geographical whizzes). Me and some friends were walking back to our hotel from a club when we see two men embracing outside our hotel. As we got closer, it appeared as though one of them was crying hysterically. Who was it? None other than an extremely drunk Jean Claude Van Damme. Apparently, there was some mix up and he didn't get the hotel room he wanted. I also didn't realize that he's only 5"5 or so.

disphugginflip · 10-09-2009, 07:08 PM

Retelling the story of how he ALMOST kicks Steven Segal's ass!

he prolly does lots of chinups

One of the best quotes I ever heard was by JCVD when they asked him about his diet:
"if you cant have a cheeseburger once in a while whats the point?"

train on my brothers!

Clearly, this was not the real JCVD, as you lived to tell this tale. This was probably just some short dude who happened to looked like JCVD. The real JCVD is helluva tall, like 5'9 and half! Possibly 5'10. He towers over puny Bruce Lee! Also, the real JCVD does not get drunk. Mere alcohol is not enough to inebriate the most powerful constitution in the universe. Only the powdery white stuff is strong enough to do any Van Damage. Anyone who has seen Universal Soldier: The Return, knows this to be true.

Actually, it was Chuck Zito (not Vito) who kicked VDamme's butt. Zito is a really mean mofo who not many people in their right minds would want to mess with. Seriously.

As for VDamme's arms, they're very well shaped by not all THAT big. (And truthfully, I don't know how big they are). They LOOK big mainly because he has well-developed forearms, especially his brachialis. The brach "pushes up" his bis, making them look more peaked than they really would be without the forearm work.

As for the Damster's personality, I read somewhere that he has bi-polar disorder which may cause him to act more like an a--hole than he usually would. Mike Tyson also has bi-polar disorder, as do a number of the celebs and regular joes and janes out there. Now whether he knew about it or not when all those incidents occurred--who's to say? And there are a lot of jerks out there who don't have bi-polar disorder. Not defending or condoning the guy; just pointing out that bi-polar disorder can greatly affect how you deal with other people and yourself.

In spite of all that, VD has built an impressive physique and deserves credit for it. Leave it at that.

And JCVD fears me as well...(LOL).

That was Chuck Zito, and he isnt 'untrained'. Man was an amateur boxer, and had black belts in six different form of martial arts. Legit tough guy.
