Sorry about hijacking the "harley pull" thread btw.
One last thing. In this sport the genetic freaks are the guys like Devon with long a$$ orangutan arms, hands and fingers. Once they develop the power to control, they are bad news for anyone in the World. If you are 5'9" and have regular size di@k beaters, there is nothing genetically freaky about you. You can still be a beast with a ton of hard work or HGH, but realistically the road ahead is a long and hard for you.

Im one that doesn't care what anyone else does as long it doesn't affect me or my family. I've pulled Chris several times. We'VE had some great matches. Im personally a fan of Chris. Just wanted to throw that out there.

I second that Frank. He kicked my A$$ in Vegas but I make NO excuses. Chris has aspirations of becoming the next Jay Cutler and nothing chemical alone will do that. HOURS AND HOURS in the gym and constant dieting.
I am just a boring old accountant and have no hope of looking like a body builder but I cant imagine its as EASY.
Anyway I respect what Giles is saying but I dont think its about trying to fool anyone. Its just not anyone place to accuse another IMHO. Unless you have never stolen, cheated on your significant other, done recreational drugs, etc etc, I just cant understand why it so fun to throw stones.
No one is going to get rich from this sport, or for that matter even cover travel expenses, so to each his own. So lets kill the whichhunts. Or better yet, lets start a new one.....maybe against potheads, excessive masturbaters, hummmmmm that last one could include me but whos to say whats excessive. ;D

^^ Steve you are missing the point here... Nobody just randomly attacked Chris... The picture was used to intimidate and cause a stir... It did... Some good and some negative feed back... But when you throw a line out there you are gonna get mixed results. Secondly... He says he can beat the list without the supps... Well hold the presses Nelson... Did I read right ? Like I said... Without the supps he would still be getting tossed around by a group of sub 200 lbers... So don't cop that garbage. This isn't about cheating... Or stealing... Or even liking the guy... Who gives a fu(k !!... It's about claiming to be super fu(kin human... Then getting bent when anyone points out why you are where you are. Its not easy to be a bodybuilder... No sh!t Is he dedicated ?... Yup Is he better than rapists and freaks of that sort ?... Absolutely Is this a steroid witch hunt?... Not at all But getting on a board and making specific non sense claims leaves you open ... Especially when your stance to pull the wool over everyone's eyes is you work harder... Get fu(ked I have no problem with the guy, but I can't tolerate people slinging sh!t like I'm a dummy I'm glad you don't care ... Bravo, but that's your stance

This wasn't meant to be another steroid witch hunt. I was just commenting on the photo and giving a little perspective to the nut swingers who might not have been around back when he was a good 76 puller and his normal God given size....then, he went there. Talking $hit about me being jealous...WRONG. Guys like him are self serving and took the easy road to the top are the same ones taking shirtless pics of themselves on posting FB etc. LAME. No duh, you still have to put in the work even on the juice, but it's still chickencrap.
Steven, you seem like a stand up guy, but since you are taking the casual stance of "I don't mind folks doing roids" and putting them in the same class (in a strength sport) as smoking weed of drinking, are you "on" too or have you ever done a cycle? If so, give us some perspective as to why they are no big deal. I along with plenty of other folks on this board have been asked plenty of times by non-aw friends and people at work if I'm on roids, and I just laugh and say no, but thanks for asking. Flatters me, I don't get all emo like some of yall. Hmmmmm.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that all other legitimate sports clearly feel like roids, HGH, blood doping etc give a competitor an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. No wonder we will never go mainstream. Anyone who takes the "I don't mind competing against PED users" stance is either using or has very poor judgement IMO. BS for guys like Paul Walther, tom Nelson and/or Selearis or even Vigeant that been around for a while and have always trained and been beast to be taking losses to any guy that couldn't tote their lunchbox just a short time ago. Sorry, but somebody has to say it around here.

Yeah I guess I did miss the point as the picture did nothing to intimidate me.

You all have valid points. I didn't say it was fair or didn't give an advantage. I just don't care. But if the sport paid my bills I would care.
I just don't take it as a serious sport I guess. I only pull because I can't play any real sports.

Hijacked for sure. Wow, didn't intend to stir anything up, just get some buzz about a potential round robin.

See, there you go Herman. Don't be jealous my friend. F armwrestling, it takes a lot of sweet tea and working 16hr days to to look this good. I think all the sweet tea would lead to diabetes and more fat... When people post things like this it means sweet tea? Makes perfect sense now!
