"BTW, this stuff with beans applies to nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains. Rice has the lowest phytic acid content, which is why I recommend it over oats." Just to clarify, are you saying that in order to make the foods listed as nutritous as possible, I should soak them all overnight before...

I first noticed calves when I was 9, and I haven't looked back since. Ass comes in second.

A year ago, I had a lilttle one-on-one push-up competition with a girl, and I lost. I was out of shape, and I only did 39; she was a virginia state recordholding powerlifter, and she stopped around 45, but I knew she was stopping early to save what was left of my pride. A couple months ago, a...

Yeah, I bet implants would be safer, since they're inserted by physicians. Any crumb bum can stick a syringe of who knows what in his body.

Great work, big ferrigno. By reading this thread, I've seen how attention to detail in diet and workouts can make all the difference. Ferrigno, when you start competing, send Therm a cut of your cash winnings. Send me some, too. I could use the money.

Frosty, I've been reading a lot of your posts, and they have been invaluable. I don't know what your background is, but you've obviously done a lot of reading on this subject, and I appreciate your sharing your knowledge. An hour and a half ago, I thought that eating fats was unhealthy, but...

Thanks for the info, guys. Frosty, I'm glad you mentioned that diet is more important training for health. Health is my first priority, so I'd like to keep my fat intake low, which will probably prohibit me from eating a lot of beef and milk. I do thirty minutes of cardio several times a week...

He looks pretty badass with that pose he does in the 7th pic. The photgrapher's lighting work is probably the reason for that. His midsection looks big and lean, if that makes sense.

That's one short bastard. What is he, 5'5"? And is it just me, or has he got some unsightly gyno in pic 9?

Can anyone tell me why, in pics 42 & 43, he's got the dumbells in that downward position?

Damn, Boyer. I don't know what exactly a Boyer is, but I'm impressed. I like this guy's poses. The one he does in pic 4, which I'll call the modified Sergio, and 6 are my favorites. He really does look like someone's going to use him to sculpt a statue. He's got some serious guns.

I've got a question. I lift about 6x a week, and I take it seriously when I do. Unfortunately, I feel like I don't have the money to have a great diet. I know I need a gram of protein for every pound I weigh to see maximum improvement, but protein shakes are expensive. If I continue to lift...

Ohh. I had it in my head that Steve Reeves was the first Mr. O. Now I know. Yeah, Larry's arms look pretty damn good to me. Sixty-four years old....that's amazing. What a guy.

Bravo, JohnnyB! Your picture collection just doesn't stop! After seeing this thread, if you told me you had polaroids of God, I'd believe you. Thanks for all your sharing, man.

Pics 17 & 42 are my favorites. That was one vascular bastard.
