A quick one for the guys

When I was a kid these were the images of a Man for us, these were the images of a Hero:

Sly, from Rambo First Blood Part 2, looking Awesome
 


The Austrian Oak, no need to say any more
 

Van Damme looking chiseled
 



Franco Columbo, strength personified

big Lou, Anyone need to question why he was both the Hulk and Hercules



And we tried our damndest to emulate them. We worked our asses off and we grew up strong fit and healthy.

Now a days things have changed dramatically.

It scares me that I've seen the medical and scientific studies that show that the average 20 somethings have the testosterone levels of 60+ year olds. And no one seems to care.

I've actually heard guys now a days that have actually said, "I don't want to train heavy, because I don't want to get bulky."

Now, even though that's a mis-informed and untrue statement when women make it, I can at least see where they are coming from.

However, coming from a guy it's just plain insane.

Why would any self-respecting man not want to have muscle?

I don't get it.

Hmmmmm.....Maybe if we look at the "hero's" of the day.......

Really Brad, come on you can do better

fist of all, Robert, shower. Then gain about 60 pounds of muscle

Really Justin, I know you're only 18, but come on. You can do better than that

You're a cool guy Adam, but I've actually heard people say this is buff. Really?






Now, I know that some of you will say, "yeah they might not be big, but they have abs."
 
That's great, but abs on someone that skinny is kind of like boobs on an obese woman, they're there but they really don't count.
 
Come on guys, we can do so much better. I know we can. Grow a pair of testes, get under the bar and start squatting, and eat some good steak. Get your testosterone levels back to what your folks had when they were your age and become men. Get rid of this manish, boychild yet kind of girly thing and step up.
 
I know we can reclaim manhood again. How do I know, because I can see glimmers of our greatness in certain individuals like....
 
Dwayne Johnson

Hugh Jackman

Georges St. Pierre


And more. Men who want to be men. Who enjoy being fit and strong, healthy and lean, jacked and bad ass.
 
 
Claim your spot with these guys and let's see a resurgence of men on this planet.
 
Now, go train smart, hard and heavy and I'll see you under the squat bar.
 
Yours in strength and health,

A Quick Post For The Ladies

Alright Ladies,

I figured a Great way to get you all pulled in and ready to read was to post a little Shemar F'ing Moore shirtless, with promises of more. So, here you go.

Now, as a straight man I'll be the first to admit it. He is delicious to look at, and seems like a great guy to boot, so we'll give you some more Shemar later. But for now we have to have a little tete a tete.

First of all, let's set the record straight.

Ladies, I know that there is a huge societal pressure out there for you to look a certain way. I get it. It sucks.

But ladies, that societal pressure ain't coming from us guys. And before you leave me a million different hate comments at the end of this blog please continue to read the rest of this post.

I know that you ladies think that us guys want you ubber thin with a small backside, thighs that don't touch, no hips and all of that jazz. But it isn't anywhere near the truth.

I don't know a single guy who watches an ubber thin bag of bones lady walk buy and thinks to themselves, "yeah, I'd like to hit that." It ain't happening.

Ladies, us guys love your curves. We love a good ass. We love good thighs. We love hips. We love breasts. We love every curve on your body. So it's not us that is trying to make you get rid of them.

Want some proof.

Let's take a look at a few examples.

Here's Marilyn Monroe, someone that has stood as the personification of beauty since the 1960's and notice, her thighs touch. She has hips. She has a booty. She has boobs. She has curves and shape. There's not a guy around that doesn't find her attractive.

How about Jayne Mansfield. Again there are hips, thighs, a booty and boobs. Curves galore and yet no guy would ever say, "man she needs to lose weight."

How about Sophia Loren. Widely considered one of the great beauties of all time. She has boobs, hips, booty, thighs, and wonderful curves.

And, since I know you're all saying, "whatever Brett. Don't you have any proof from the last few years, not from 50 years ago?"

Yes, I do.

How about J-Lo. She's famous for her booty and thighs, and she has a great rack. Not a waif by any means.

What about Beyoncé. The girl has curves galore. Great thighs, great booty, great hips, great body.

How about Salma? She isn't tiny either. Great booty, great hips, curves for day. I don't know anyone that doesn't find her stunning. Do you?

What about Sophia? The woman's hot. Yet she still has curves galore.

And what about my girl, Gina. The woman's gorgeous. She also has a booty, thighs, hips, shoulders, abs, arms, and more. She's strong and tough, yet no man would ever kick her out of the sack.

So, ladies. I think that pretty much proves my point. Us guys love curves. We're not looking for you to have your knees being the biggest part of your legs. we're not looking for your elbows to be the biggest part of your arms. We're not looking for you to lose your butt or your thighs. We're not looking to see all of your ribs. We like the curves that god and nature gave you.

Now, it's your turn to embrace them, also. Curves are healthy. In fact, if you want your hormones to ever be optimized, you need your curves. And all of us guys support you keeping them.

Now, to keep my promise, here's a little more Shemar:




And don't worry ladies. I'll be picking on my own gender in the next post.

Until then, keep training hard, smart and heavy and I'll talk with you all later.

Yours in strength and health,
Brett
