Ideal Physique?

[WHC]

Well i'm 19... sooo you're all "old schoolers" to me haha. I loved PP's forum and of course this forum now and combing your guys' brains for the knowledge that only comes from experience. That's the most important kind of knowledge imo. I try to read as much science and facts as possible, but the anecdotal evidence from people who have tried and experimented on their own is extremely valuable to me.

u bastard. i used to be the youngest one on the forum. dam. i'm only 20 though, so i guess we're pretty much the same.

Damn you both.

You guys have no idea how far ahead of the game you really are if you follow what DJM, Burly, OD, and many of the other "older" guys on here have to say... especially DJM 'simplistic approach'. I remember reading ads for "miracle supplements" like boron, smilax, sarsaparilla root, Cybergenics and countless other worthless ads all promising to be what adds the next 20 pounds of muscle (kind of like MuscleTech does now). If I would have just focused on food and consistent lifting, I could have saved thousands ($1,000's) of dollars over the years and been way ahead of the game. It may have even kept me from slipping into the trap of drinking so much and wasting so many of my best years of my life. /RANT

Haha we're in the same boat. Kinda glad i'm not the only one who's this young here tbh. Sifting through these guys' experiences and knowledge puts us way ahead of the game compared to the guys our age who are trying to figure out everything for themselves. And idk about you, but i have friends our age who are all screwed up from prohormone cycles that they had no business getting involved in. It's ashame.

Awesome! I thought I was the only kid on this forum too! haha.

Some say this was 485 lbs, some 495, some 500, some 525. I don't know which. It's an example of that intensity, though. Looks like 495.

It was 495 plus 2.5 lb metal collars on each side. So 500.

Sounds like we need an old schooler to clear this up.

Though Platz was the original leg man, his moniker was "The Golden Eagle". DeMayo was the first guy officially dubbed "Quadzilla".

Hell yea man. DJM's advice is always very solid. Last summer I pm'd him on PP asking about aas advice... He said what's your age, height, weight?... I told him, and his advice was to WAIT!! and to train naturally for as long as possible. I can't thank him enough for that, because at the time i was very annoyed with seeing friends of mine using prohormones and aas and surpassing my natural physique, so i was very tempted to go down that path as well, but i am so glad DJM was realistic and honest with me. I can't say i won't juice when i'm like 30-40.. because i most likely will. But i will do my best to look like Frank Zane and Mike Mentzer before that time comes.

I'm not sure if there is a way to prove who was called "Quadzilla" first... It did stick harder with Paul Demayo for sure though.

Like Burly always says: "Food is the most anabolic substance known to man". Consistent lifting (DJM) + Good eating (Burly) = respectable physique.

Huh. I just don't remember him being called quadzilla. Seems I would have, seeing as I used to nearly worship the guy.

Maybe he just preferred to be called The Golden Eagle because he was dubbed that first before he grew those massive quads??? Who knows? It's all just useless trivia any way. TBH, I can't prove who was called if first, but I do remember reading it when I was younger.
