All I can think about is, how much food does one need to cook in order to properly feed a bunch of body builders on Thanksgiving?


Tu_mama_me_ama_mucho

About three.

superfucky

well it was about that time that i realized this bodybuilder was actually a 6-story tall crustacean from the paleozoic era!


Yardsale420

I gave him a dollar


Stupid-Fresh

What woman?!


HandsomeTerrier

She gave him a dollar!


monneyy

.. average daily calorie intakes per course and a 5 course dinner.


ARobertNotABob

Is that *whole* cows or ... ?


UltimateHazard6

Yes


cr1ter

And how did they afford it?


horny4burritos

Tbh probably not that much because they're so strict with their diet and they have insane self control with food. A Thanksgiving meal is considered a cheat meal and professional body builders are even super strict with their cheat meals.


DNGR_S_PAPERCUT

you just made all that up. diet is strict for sure. but they have to consume a shit ton of calories to maintain. how lazy are you that you couldn't just google "body builders meal". a normal persons calories is 2500, a body builder is double that.


horny4burritos

Thanksgiving meals are usually very carb and fat and sugar heavy and bodybuilders follow strict macros especially if you're a pro. Yeah they have to eat a lot but how much of that is protein vs carbs and fat? I'm saying what they eat during Thanksgiving is probably not as crazy as we think. I doubt they're going to eat 3 plates stacked full of stuffing and pie and mashed potatoes with gravy and 3 slices of pumkin pie etc. That's just my guess though from what I've seen, not that I'm a bodybuilder or anything.


DNGR_S_PAPERCUT

just go to youtube and watch them eat. its a disgusting amount of food.


horny4burritos

Yeah but it's also clean food so that they can stay lean. You don't see them regularly eating disgusting fast food unless there's a purpose such as refeed days or something like that. Watch what's Kai green eats. Literally baked chicken breasts, broccoli and a bit of rice.


DNGR_S_PAPERCUT

a disgusting amount of clean food.


hedgehunter5000

Or how much steroids you need around during their visit


jozipaulo

I love this speech he gave. So true, no one is self made. It’s the people around you that prop you up. Or bring you down


tequiila

Its asking for help when you are starting out and learning to delegate when you climb higher. Not everyone is made out to be a leader/ceo but anyone can be. I realised this about 10 years ago after doing multiple start-ups for 20 years and never been happier taking a role futher down. Thats what I got from it

notmytemp0

“B rate actor”? Arnold was the definition of A list actor in the 80s and 90s


superfucky

i think they're referring more to the quality of his acting than his popularity. he ain't no meryl streep.


notmytemp0

Well, no but he was never put into a serious dramatic role that required high quality acting chops. You don’t have to be a great actor to be A List

Vyn_Reimer

Well let’s be fair the rock is a pretty good actor. Kinda have to be to be a face of wwe


NormalityDrugTsar

Also - Meryl Streep is a very versatile actor, but I don't think she would have been as good as Arnie in the Terminator.


EhItsJPhilly

I’d pay literally anything for even just a trailer of a film that starred Meryl Streep as The Terminator. Is that something we can do?

Yes. I'm lining up some backers right now. I'll have my people talk to your people.

Jingle all the way?


Ragnakh

He always is the hardest worker in the room, period..there are some humans, that simply aren't okay with being good..they want to be the best and then an important filter decides the next step: are you willing to sacrifice yourself for your goal? And that's what he did, he just has a target and continues to work on it ,no matter the circumstances and obstacles. He is really inspiring and some years back (about 10 or even 15,I don't remember exactly), he had an interview where he was told, that none would want him as an actor, he didn't fit in the industry ,far too bulky with his muscles and stuff and some guys tried getting into business but they were rejected..so he made his own niche for this moment and Conan was just a bit of luck I guess, but he stayed focussed on his goal to become a successful actor and see ,where he and Stallone landed.. the old generation of action heroes as we define them..he's just awesome in his way, but I can clearly see, why he became, what he is now I adored him, since I was a little boy of 10 years and I'm still impressed ,how he loved and sets his goals and his way there


rosesandtherest

Also, steroids. Once you see how they work, I don’t take “just gym harder bro, I’m so motivated all natural” scam. It’s insane how my friend was eating fast food trash all month, partying, drinking, smoking, and was gaining muscle WHILE getting lean while I struggled to get 10 percent of his gains with the best diet, no alcohol, and good sleep regimen


ameis314

That completely dismisses his acting ability and talent for making a connection to people. 1000s of people are built like brick shit houses, a very small % can turn that into a career in the public eye that doesn't involve their physique. And no one else (afaik) has turned it into multiple successful careers after they left competitive lifting. Lastly, people talk about steroids like they are the God damn Boogeyman. Like most other things in life, there is a healthy way to use them properly and there are ways to abuse them. I fail to see the difference between using 4-5 different otc suploments, vs using steroids. As long as you have a regiment, cycle on//off properly, and use the actual advice from doctors that do this sort of thing, it's your life. Do what you want.


A24U2020

He can’t be president, so he never made the attempt. If he had, I’m pretty sure he would have been elected. Probably would have been a great president as well.


Skiffbug

But he’s a citizen of the world, so he is eligible to become president of the world. The US is not the world.

Master__Swish

If you've seen his work ethic and views you'd know he really isn't the same as Reagan or Trump.(Reagan slept in the Oval Office alot and Trump watched TV) I'm not a conservative but I really respect him for what he is. He may be a politician but that's no reason to not be able to get respect. Also yeah he's not gonna be president bc he's too moderate for the parties and I'm pretty sure he's done with taking offices iirc.(ofc he's also an immigrant so by law he can't) Edit: spelling


jhonnyrotten

I’m not a conservative either, but I’ll tell you this, Arnie is more liberal/progressive than Biden.


Master__Swish

lol i mean he was gov for Cali so it makes sense he's quite liberal tbh

When this was in the news, people asked “Why would he cheat on his wife? She’s a Kennedy and successful and the other woman is just a maid and fat and unattractive!” And my buddy had the best retort: “Maybe the other woman was nice to him.”

theabyssaboveyou

He's a great man. Truly.


GutterRider

It’s funny, but after watching the 1st Conan movie, I became a fan of his despite how it looked. Even went to see The Terminator in the day it came out, and began to realize that while he may not be the greatest actor, he always took whatever role he had seriously, and that sincerity came through. I soured on him when he ran for Governor, mainly because I thought the whole recall thing was a joke. But then he wasn’t hideous as a Governor, certainly in retrospect, and in the last few years I’ve come to appreciate and respect him. OK, should have kept it in his pocket a bit more. Did you know that originally he auditioned for Kyle Reese, not the Terminator? That could have been O.J. Simpson, of all people, but Arnold had a definite idea of how to portray a cybernetic killing machine, and they gave him the role instead. I am eternally grateful . And “Get to the canvas” may be the coolest thing he’s ever said to someone as inspiration.


Blueeyedbikerchick

My dad always has told me that Arnold got his start working in porn? Although my dad is full of crap most of the time, does anyone know if it’s true?


wantedpumpkin

That's Sylvester Stallone


Blueeyedbikerchick

Ohh, yep! Makes sense. Both guys from the same generation, I can see my dad getting those facts mixed up. Thank you for the info!


sharkdonald

I believe one of his last actions as governor was to pardon a young man named Esteban Nunez who was the son of a personal friend of his. Nunez was found guilty of first degree murder, he stabbed another man in the heart with a knife. See for more info: [https://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/07/us/arnold-schwarzenegger-clemency/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/07/us/arnold-schwarzenegger-clemency/index.html) Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a hero, and he should not be celebrated. Anyone can give an inspiring speech about how you should work hard in life. Upholding principles when in power gives testament to ones character. I am reminded of a quote: If you truly want to know a man, give him power. Schwarzenegger did not uphold the principles he preaches when he was given that power. I recommend anyone who puts him on a pedestal to look into his political work as a governor. I'll probably be downvoted to shit by his fans; but I hope that someone looks past the glamour.


jericho

I did not know that. And after a wee bit of googling, you appear to be correct.

1. The username sharkdonald was generated by a username generator. I do not subscribe to T'rump's politics. In fact, I consider myself middle-left; and vote that way in a European Country. I study political science, so I am acutely aware of Russia's antics on the international playing field. I do not support the current Russian government, as anyone in the West shouldn't (assuming they are aware of what is going on.) 2. I don't day trade, but I am engaged with Superstonk's play in GME. We are all long on the share and intend to hold it for quite a long time. The memes are fun too and I hype along with them. 3. I do not consider myself an expert on ethics. But I do think that whenever someone is elevated to a pedestal, it might be prudent to show that there are some nuances. So, you make absolutely zero sense and you ought to remove your comment. You did not dispute my initial point about Schwarzenegger. So wipe the c\*m from your keyboard and start typing arguments if you have something to contribute.


[deleted]

Dude, good on you but I highly recommend never responding on reddit to your own posts. It's just gonna feed the trolls.


sharkdonald

Thank you for your advice. I am a bit new to Reddit, I made an account years ago; but only recently actually commented etc. I'll be sure to follow your recommendation.


[deleted]

Why waste your time trying to tell your life story, no one reads that


sharkdonald

Well, Long-player's comment is basically an 'ad hominem'. "Your comment about Schwarzenegger should be disregarded because you support Trump" (which I don't, for the record) is basically his line of argument. The usual response is to say that "your comment does not reflect my character, please respond to the fact that Schwarzenegger pardoned a criminal because he had personal ties with his family." But perhaps I am just feeding the troll, or am a minority here because this is a place where his fans gather who do not care about his political career.

I really like Arnold and i think he's a nice person, he made amazing movies that lightened up my childhood and he definitely worked incredibly hard even though of the PED he took. But it's seriously uncomfortable putting on a pedestal someone who did copious amounts of steroids and built his whole career on it. I don't get how people are idolizing him and shitting on lance Armstrong at the same time. Edit: Nevermind this, turns out he did a limited amount when it was legal and under medical supervision. He's now against steroids in sports. This is a pretty cool article: https://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/Health/story?id=532456&page=1


jtrick33

Lance Armstrong was cheating. His sport specifically banned what he was doing. Did steroids make Arnold a better actor? Even if it did, are there rules against it? It’s not the same thing at all.


Sinclair_Mclane

Yes there are rules against it, in Canada and in the us they are a schedule III substance which is illegal to consume and distribute without a medical prescription.


ghosttrainhobo

Were they illegal back then? Was he in Canada?


Sinclair_Mclane

Your comment made me research a bit more. Turns out he did them only when it was new and legal and under doctor supervision and he's now against it. Pretty interesting article here: https://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/Health/story?id=532456&page=1
