That's what a man is suppose to look like. Keep in mind he isn't nearly as monstrous when relaxed.

Neither are my cup of tea. I don't mind if others do either of them though.

If God intended that to be the case I don't think it would take injections, powders, pellets and pills to do it.

God just supplied the foundation to build upon.

Power and muscularity are all thru historical literature as well as their art. Hercules,Samson,Thor,Milo, Beowulf,Atlas,Achilles etc.

Not all prolifters do that. Ironically, however, the same thing can be said about a lot of runners.

This is just another extreme. Much like the anorexically thin, emaciated runner. Neither end of the spectrum is particularly attractive.

Body building will never be a legitimate sport as long as they continue to allow drugs to be used.

I agree!

And I think they can be considered along the same lines. Both are just forms of self-expression.

what gets me is that Ronnie Coleman gave up a pretty safe career as a PO PO to use a whole bunch of drugs to get his body to look like that.

That is a shame. It is not good looking at all, those body builders are such a unique click they prolly think that is real cool.

yeah I have read some of his po po interviews. He was a great asset to Arlington PD. It is a shame he gave up that gig. It was a great arrangement for both sides. He was a great role model for the street kids.

The kids still talk about him. (I teach in Arlington) From what I understand, he stays involved as a role model, and tries to encourage kids to do the right thing (ignoring the steroid angle, of course).
