Dont skip leg day.

[CommitmentRulz]

It's not like the dude was naked, in the locker room...

I don't really see the problem since you can't see his face or any other particularly identifiable markings. If I saw someone do something incredibly stupid/funny at the gym and simply posted on this forum "I saw a guy in the gym today, probably early 30's, who..." I don't really see a difference in that and a picture with no face.

[Jtbny]

You mean one of the millions of subscribers will recognize the picture I posted with no head or identifying marks beside his skinny a$$ legs?.... Heck I think you could identify the girl by the boobs in the other pic I posted easier. Believe it or not, there are still guys over here that I enjoy interacting with. You are one of those...but maybe not so much. Just goes to show how little we know of some of the people we communicate with for years over the internet. Look....you finally figured out I am a total dink....although I am sure you suspected that before. But my friends would disagree with you. I guess you are not one of them.

So let me understand something; because I said I was surprised by your post and have been trying to articulate why, you no longer want to interact w/me? Talk about going to extremes. Where did I toss an attack on your character? I just think THIS post is in bad taste and enjoy most of your training talk posts.

I dont see any difference, and frankly I dont give a crap about his struggles. It was just a light-hearted funny observation. What is you asked every comic to think about the associated struggles of others before we all laugh at things that are funny. You may say 'well, what you posted was not funny'...and that is where comedy is subjective. I still find it funny so yes, I am a horrible person.

The self pity party needs to stop, J. You're not a martyr here stop trying to turn yourself into one. NO ONE ITT called you a horrible person. FFS man you sound more like my 8 year old when she makes a mistake than an educated adult.

The difference is, the video of the commentary would not bother me. It is honest and real. And everyone else was thinking the same thing, just too afraid to point it out. We have gotten out of control with over PC. Not empathy....just being afraid of infringing on anyones 'safe space'.

This has zero to do with "safe spaces". You're trying real hard to conflate PC culture and posting pics of random people without their knowledge for the interweb high-fives.

I cant get on board with holier-than-thou attitudes. One great example was Biden commenting on Billy Blanks interview where Trump bragged of grabbing a PuzZy. When someone asked Biden if that could just be dismissed as "locker room talk", Biden turned with a straight face and said something like ' I have been in locker rooms my entire life with other men and I have NEVER ever once heard another man talk like that'. Really......? THAT is the problem today. No one wants to be honest. And behind things that are funny, they often have some honest truth they are playing off. In my example, it is the guy who doesnt train legs.

I think there needs to be more of a balance on the PC culture and calling things out. Both can go too far in either direction at times. So your thread is trying to buck the PC culture? Guess I missed the connection. I'll try harder to make those correlations going forward.

So just so I know.....stuff like this is bad and the only people who would find it funny, are people who have yet to resolve thier own insucurities..?...

Bro, this was MY opinion. It doesn't define you. You do you. We would get along just fine in person and I would have joked around w/ you at the gym about the people in your pics. Where we differ is posting them on a public space. I wouldn't do that but that doesn't make me holler-than-thou. Just means my value system is different than yours.

Like I said before, maybe I'm being a sensitive pu55y. If so I'll take the lumps and move on. No biggie.

U can't even see the guys full face in the picture, dunno what the crying is about.

Can't we be offended on someone else's behalf now?

Well at least you didn't claim racism ITT.

Some people actually just have really unfavorable genetics for leg growth. A good example is Jon Jones. He busted his @ss in the weight room and worked his way up to a 500 lb squat -- which is really incredible for a guy with his anthropometric proportions and levers -- yet he still had very skinny legs. He just couldn't really add any mass to them.

The night is still young !

I feel like there was a classic pro, wanna say Tom Platz(?) who struggled with legs so much that he dedicated years focusing on them and they became his best feature.

More I think about it, more I think it was indeed Platz.

It doesn't hurt that they run 10-20 miles back and forth to school everyday. The good ones do, anyways. The great ones run home for lunch.

Mostly myth. A few did that. Wilson Kipsang grew up across the street from his school, wore shoes every day, ran no more as a kid than I did, then worked a sedentary job for a few years after high school. In his early 20s he got inspired to run and set the world record in the marathon within a decade. Talent.

It's time for a commercial break in this thread, gentlemen. Toxic masculinity is toxic. Got to keep the internet on, you know

[drudixon]

I'm pretty certain there's a video of me learning muscle ups. I looked like I was having a seizure on the bar. No care, as long as they don't make fun of my hair....

[3basic5me]

OP, you homo creep....your talent is wasted on OV35 misc. nice pics. the matching couple are cute, don't be jelly.

I need popcorn for this thread

Maybe this should be moved to the main MISC. ID would get more of the hyuck hyucks he's looking for.

I don't think so. I think they'd say the same thing.

What about the funny gym fails that are posted on Youtube? I thought everyone got a good chuckle out of those. Apparently someone was secretly filming them and posting online so people could make fun of them. I'm hoping that is different as we are laughing at what they do instead of how they look. I don't know...maybe it's not all that different, we are still laughing at the person. Can we get Youtube to pull them?

[induced_drag]

...

Also, no need to point out the person was black when your insecure ass was posting photos of him. We can all see that he is black. You will be surprised to learn that when you mention the totally irrelevant fact of his ethnicity it immediately demonstrates to me that your racist as ****.

Ha! I was waiting for this. You must be one of those people looking around all the time to be offended at something. I dont know if your black or not....but even if you were there is nothing racist about using a descriptive adjective. Many a story beigns with Asian guy, Black guy, White guy, Indian guy, Fat guy, Skinny guy, Tall guy, Short guy,..... To say that usings one's physical description is "racist" as you put it, is just laughable.

And...it does have something to do with the story. In my life experience in the gym, I have seen many more black dudes in the gym who have MASSIVLY disporpottionate development of their legs. This can be for many reasons. As some have mentioned, there has been shown some differenced in races for muscle insertion locations. It could also be one race (in general) may have a better training response. So if they train upper and neglect lower, the difference shows greater. I dont know what the answer is, but this is a fairly common thing I have seen in my life.

While I have FAR worse cases of this in my gym, most of them hide it as best they can. Not this guy....he is DGAF. So good for him. And I can think it is funny too.

ID has said tons of racist **** here over the years. This is just one more example.

Total BS. I have actually made it a point to not get into politics or religion. I rarely post a about stuff that does not have to do with training. I did break this rule recently expressing my suprise at the state of hip-hop today being awash with the "n" word every other word. Having a 15 yo daughter who all her friends listen to this....no wonder they are totally desensitized to the "n" word being 'offensive'. That was my comment. I challenge you to quote ANY racist post of mine. Or you can keep living in your little fantasy land.

Yes....no one laughs at those either. No one here at least. We are all too mature for stuff like that.

I have seen the pic below posted many times here and people all chuckle. Well, I guess he knew the picture was being taken so this is somehow better? That logic astounds me. So since he knew his pic was taken, he would love to see people making fun of him. FWIW, I found the below pic funny too.

But I have to give the guy some credit as most hollywood types barely lift. Thought I saw a 405 dead vid of his or something. Dude is in great shape a dancer and entertainer. Having thighs like mine which make it look like you have a stick up you a$$ is probably not in his goals. Anyway..... Overly butt hurt dudes, carry on being butt hurt and offended.

[eomrat]

I am not offended. I just think you are a douchebag. Always have thought that.

I did read your post about the N -word, and to me it was little bit different than what your comment was about it above. But it's not a topic that goes well here because it always turns to race baiting. That's why they always delete threads like that.

[induced_drag]

I am not offended. I just think you are a douchebag. Always have thought that.

I am totally cool since your character shows you to be a lying exaggerative fool. I challenge you to support your statement...or just admit you are a liar. I generally dont associate with people like this. But I will own it if I have said it. I have never deleted a post on here. Show me where I have "said tons of racist stuff over the years", and I will be the first to man up and apologize. I cant not fathom that to be true because I am not a racist person. But if you prove me wrong, I will own it. Or you can just admit you make crap up to make yourself feel better or support arguments that dont hold water

Just for clarification, "Ethnicity" refers solely to Hispanic/Non-Hispanic. Race refers to Black, Native American, Asian etc.

Carry on.

Good info, i did not know that!

And for the record i only notice hot women at the gym because well........., i like women's bodies.

I would really cause an uproar if I posted some of the members of this forum who compete in 'board shorts' fitness model competitions.

Wait....no, by some of the dissenting viewpoints in this thread, that is perfectly OK. Because I am making fun of them an they can defend themselves......um....OK.


FWIW, No one can say I cant take it. I took/take a lot of crap for my calves or lack thereof over the years. They are still my 'worst' bodypart. But, despite what some may think about what they view as my insecurities, I am OK with them. As am I with my overall physique. I have had no problems posting the good with the bad and have done so many times. More than I can say for many of the 'faceless' wonders who hide behind a blank avatar and probably never even train anything more than their mouse finger. WTF are some of you doing on BB.com anyway? No need to go down that road again I guess.

So my contribution to the no legs thread. Any dissenting view points will be ignored without leg pics So @JT and @Grubb, your views are duly noted respectfully. I have zero idea who this emorat guy or girl even is....

[ajdahlheimer]

...it’s about taking a picture of someone without them knowing about it and posting it on a public forum...
.

That's just kind of the inherent risk you run when one goes out in public though, broseph..........

[Jtbny]

Ok, Ill add to the leg pic. This is all I've got recently. Been too cold to wear anything but pants in the gym.

eomrat hasn't been around for a long time but used to be quite active. Was a sergeant major at ft Bragg if I remember right. He has always been direct which can go both ways.

Imgur is actually blocked at my work, so I haven't even seen any of the pics yet. I was just pointing out there isn't any recourse for someone taking picture of you w/o knowing--in a public setting.

What do you mean it's public? It's a gym, someone owns it. There are signs in my gym locker room that taking pictures of others will get you kicked out.

Why couldn't they have those same sign in other areas too? Or is gym showers also public area?

Oh I could see something like that happening, sure. Not really what I was talking about though.
