i wonder why the movie is named Icarus

Pingiivi posted:

"Often depicted in art, Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus' father warns him first of complacency and then of hubris, asking that he fly neither too low nor too high, so the sea's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignored his father's instructions not to fly too close to the sun; when the wax in his wings melted he tumbled out of the sky and fell into the sea where he drowned."

for fucks sake, pingiivi

Before one can fly too close to the sun, one must fly halfway too close to the sun. Icarus was a fraud.

Growth hormone, IGF-1, and insulin cause the internal organs to grow.

Exploration is ill-advised.
For a... an event that's become almost entirely about aesthetics over practicality, you'd think bodybuilding would encourage people to make their bodies look nice instead of horrific, grotesque parodies of the human form. It's like super-inbred animal shows but for humans.

It depends how strong the baby is, they lie on their back and put a dumbbell on the tummy and if they can bounce it off it's fine.

Icarus had a cruising altitude of 70'000 feet and his wings were melted by cosmic radiation. Maybe take the time to familiarize yourself with the source material before trying to question the canon???

Pretty much. I've heard people describe bodybuilding as being a 'living anatomy drawing' but I can't help but imagine that the muscle development from steroids, cutting and dehydration all combine to create a form that isn't at all what a normal human set of muscles would look like.

What I really don't get is these guys flaunting their gains with that prominent 'roid gut. I thought the whole point of "gonna swole then get cut" was getting that sweet 6-pack ab definition, and here's pics of guys, all tanned and oiled up and apparently in some kind of competition, and their bellies look like Billy Joe Bob who drinks a case of PBR every day. Do the judges just nod knowingly, thinking, "yep some awesome biceps there, just gonna ignore the fact that you look like a woman who's 8 months pregnant"? Do any of them actually win competitions looking like that?

Edit: shoot, missed Aphrodite & Emmy's posts making the same point. Maybe I spend too much time in the AUG thread, but perhaps judges are all mpreg fans :gonk:

There was a time when all the bodybuilding forums could talk about was myostatin and how to suppress it. Turns out a thing that is good at suppressing myostatin expression is... anabolic steroids!

If your power slam injections include horse steroids, you should donate your hosed-up blood as often as possible so you will have less of it inside of you. This is a really good and smart thing to do.

Tommy 2.0 posted:

On EQ, DONATE BLOOD. It's an immediate way to lower BP and hematocrit, and it's a good cause. You can donate with the basic every 56 days I think.
Since Equipose isn't really drugs, just synthetic horse hormones, and you inject them into your muscles, not your veins, when the Red Cross asks if you're an "IV drug user" you can tell them neigh.

(I'd have thought this would be beyond the pale even by the standards of TCC but welp)
