Thought: People learning fitness from online trainers is doomed for failure…

There’s a lot of online fitness trainers that are pretty popular like Scooby and many others. Getting advice from fitness people online, people you don’t even know, you’re doomed for failure. I don’t know why these people do it. They look after these online fitness trainers like if they’re a hero or something. When you want to learn fitness and get healthy, this is the last thing you want to do. Go online and take advice from people you don’t know.

How did I learn fitness? When I signed up to my other local gym (not the Y), I had the gym owner teach me some things, and the fitness adventures went from there. I learned the workouts from Arnold’s “Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” which is the bodybuilding holy grail. I also watch how other people do things at the gym. I got all my bodybuilding information from Arnold’s book, thanks to longtime blog reader, bone75, who recommended it to me. I actually took his recommendation and the book became very helpful to me.

I didn’t learn from Scooby or Tony Horton or Scott Herman. I learned a lot from Arnold. Arnold is the real deal.

While I know a lot about health & fitness, I still have a lot to learn. I’m not a pro yet. I still have lots of work to do. I’m just not getting ahead of myself and not rushing things, ya know? Taking my time. I need bigger pecs, I need more obliques, and I need the abs to be in better shape too. It’s all being worked on. I’m trying to find workouts on obliques and found a few of them. I’m still researching some more oblique workouts.

Don’t trust any fitness information online because most of it’s a joke. I learned it all from Arnie’s book, dude. It’s better than most information out there and Arnold’s bodybuilding book is old school. I try to do my shit the Arnold way. Following his path.

I will never do a bodybuilding competition or anything like that, but my dream to transform myself and become the best shape of my life. Live longer and get healthier. I want to be like Sylvester Stallone where I am able to still workout in the gym at 60 years old.

I may have a nice start with my physique, but it’ll get better when I get older.

Cool Video: Crosby, Nash and Neil Young reunion??? Well, sort of…

On Jimmy Fallon last night there was some kind of CSNY reunion. Jimmy Fallon was playing as Neil Young again singing a song called, “Party In the USA”. Out comes surprise special guest singers: Graham Nash and David Crosby. Yes, the real Graham Nash and David Crosby, not played by actors. This was a killer performance. Nash and Crosby great singers like usual. The only one who didn’t come out was obviously, Stephen Stills.

What’s with all the Jimmy Fallon performing as Neil Young for? I think it’s an obvious hint that the real Neil Young himself will go on the show to sing with Jimmy Fallon. It’s gonna happen at some point, just give it time, folks.

Jimmy Fallon “Late Night” has been on NBC for a long while now. He’s been having so many legendary acts perform on the show everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Megadeth. The real Neil Young haven’t performed on Jimmy Fallon yet. It’s coming, I’m sure.

See the video, here.

BREAKING NEWS: Jared Loughner too crazy for trial!!!

Look like Jared Loughner won’t go to trial for shooting Gabby Giffords and lots of others in Tucson, Aizona because the judge thinks he’s too much of a whack job. Loughner couldn’t make it to the competency hearing, he had to be dragged there by force and that still wouldn’t help.

Read the full story, here.

They should let Gabby pay this sick fuck a visit so she can spit him in the face. What a crazy animal this clown is.

Report: David Fincher’s “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”, first trailer will arrive online June 2nd, next week…

Deadline reveals today that the US version of the “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”, first trailer will debut overseas first. Then the trailer will hit online June 2nd for all of us to see, then the trailer will be in movie theaters next weekend.

More on it, here.

I still stand by it that I didn’t like the Swedish version of “The Girl With Dragon Tattoo”. Noomi Rapace made a great Lisbeth Salander but the movie was pure shit.

I hope Fincher’s version is a better film and can’t wait to see the first trailer.

BREAKING NEWS: Silverchair calls it quits for now…

The Australian rock band, Silverchair, announced on their official website today, that the band is calling it quits after 20 years of being together. They have been a band since they were 12 year old kids. They first got a record deal after winning a demo competition on a TV show called, “Nomad”. They recorded their winning demo with a song called, “Tomorrow”, which that song became a huge hit in the United States. The song made the band mainstream. The band announced they are on “indefinite hibernation”, meaning that they are not actually broken up for good, they will take a long hiatus from the music business.

The band only released 5 albums in their career, and I thought they were one of the good mainstream rock bands. I thought their albums, “Frogstomp” and “Freak Show” were the best. I was huge fans of these guys.

Thought: I really think Sly Stallone should star in Kathryn Bigelow’s “Osama Bin Laden” movie…

I doubt Sly would get the opportunity but I think it’s a nice thought. I think Sly would make a pretty good Seal Team 6 leader. That’s my choice of who I’d like to star in that Bin Laden movie. Outside of Rambo, I don’t think Sly has ever starred in other war films before. It’s been long rumored that the next Rambo movie could have been Rambo hunting down Bin Laden but it never happened. Sly shot that plot down long while back, now Rambo is never gonna happen because Sly retired the character. It’s still possible that Sly could star in a Bin Laden movie, just not as Rambo.

I’ve always wanted to see Sly in a serious war film and this would be perfect for him. So if Kathryn is reading this somehow, just my suggestion that Sly should star. I’m sure Kathryn’s Bin Laden movie is going to be extremely violent and gory, hopefully. This would be good for Sly.

Sony will probably have a big name star play the leading role for Seal Team 6, when they start casting. Arnold would be good for this movie too but he’s in trouble with his personal life so he won’t come back to movies anytime soon now.

Sly’s last movie “The Expendables” is kind of a war film actually.

Netflix Pick (DVD): Justin Bieber “Never Say Never”…

So I just got done watching the Justin Bieber rockumentary “Never Say Never” on Netflix DVD rental. Yes, I actually watched it. Just out of curiosity. Did I like it? Yes I did. It was very interesting to me and the kid just got a little more respect, just by watching this.

The movie is about Justin Bieber’s life. It’s about how he got into music and it shows his life before his fame. Before he became a superstar, he was just a regular kid like all of us. It gave us insight of what he was like before his fame. The movie is basically a countdown, leading up to his legendary Madison Square Garden concert. Justin has been accused by many of being a fake, and this movie proves that he isn’t. He really does know how to sing and play instruments.

When I watched this movie, this movie wasn’t really aimed for a teen audience. This movie wants people of all ages to understand Justin Bieber better. They wanted to show what he did was real in the music business. I was really impressed with the movie, seriously.

Before hating on the kid, maybe you should watch it too, if you want to understand him better. I would never see him in concert or buy his records, I just wanted to see this film to get more insight on the kid. If you watch this movie, you would understand why he is so popular. It isn’t because of the hair or the looks, the movie shows that he knows how to draw people’s attention with his music.

It makes you wonder what this kid is going to be like when he’s a full grown adult. When he reaches my age, do you think he’ll still be doing pop music? I don’t think so, definitely not. I think he’ll grow out of it. Maybe he’ll become a rock singer, who knows.

I just wish people out there would quit hating on the kid just because he has a fanbase of teen girls. I mean, isn’t that how the fucking Beatles started out when they got their fame? They had tween girls after them too back in their time. I have no problem with Justin Bieber. He’s not annoying to me. He’s better than most kids who try to get fame in music. This was a pretty inspiring movie and the live performances were pretty exciting too. Give this film a chance and you would see why he’s such a big deal. It makes me wish I can get fame over youtube like this kid did. He got very lucky.

Cool Video: Hulk Hogan posts his tribute video on Randy Savage…

Over the years, there’s been a lot of speculation in the wrestling community that Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan always hated each other. Well this video should put the hate accusations to rest because this is good enough proof that Hulk always respected the Macho Man.

While I don’t like Hulk Hogan myself, this is actually a good video. Good on Hulk for once!

BREAKING NEWS: Christopher Meloni leaving “Law & Order: SVU”!!!

First Steve Carell leaves, “The Office”, next here comes Christopher Meloni announcing the news that he is leaving the long running show, “Law & Order: SVU”. They tried to make him come back for next season but he wasn’t up for it.

Deadline, reports.

Guess, he really wants to move on then. Can’t blame him, considering he’s been playing the same show for over 10 years. He’s a good actor too. I remember him in HBO’s “OZ” as well.

I don’t think he’s done with acting for good. I think he wants to move on to better opportunities. Maybe do other TV shows or get some movie roles or something.

This was no surprise honestly.
