Raev Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Tony Horton For a guy his age, he's in phenomenal shape. I'm not sure a single person has had a greater impact on the world of fitness than Tony in decades. Even Rip pays homage to Tony and the working out hard revolution that he sparked. Tony's programs are still the gold standard for at home workout programs. I say this as a person that's never done any of his programs (though my wife has) and really have only used one single video of his (Yoga X). I have mad respect for Tony and what he's accomplished.I actually spent a couple of months doing p90x before I found NF and started barbell training. The first time I ever worked myself so hard that I vomited was to one of his DVDs! Mad respect for the guy, I just couldn't do p90x. Two reasons really - a 230lb dude jumping around in an apartment tends to be complained about by his neighbors and I tweaked my knee doing his plyo (very weak supporting muscles at the time), to the point I was on crutches for a while. Thankfully my knee is doing much better, since I've learned about the joy of squatting. Quote level 4 Gnoll warrior STR 6|DEX 5|STA 4|CON 5|WIS 5|CHA 2 Building a better Raev, part 1.

RoryAverage Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Samantha Wright is indeed adorable! She looks like someone who'd crush you in the gym, then take you out for smoothies on her dime. And the only thing I like about Dana Bailey is her hair, lol....

Hammlin Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I adore Sarah Fragoso. Seriously. I'm a fan girl. I know she doesn't stand out as "fitness" per say, but I just want to grow up to be just like her. She's one of the two folks who runs Everyday Paleo (the podcast I listen to weekly). I even bought my family members her cookbooks for Christmas. Fan girl. This girl. Yup.

MariahSnow Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Samantha Wright appears to have a big fan base. Oh.My.Goodness. If I was a lesbian (and I'm probably only about 60-75% hetero anyway), this would be my type of girl. Holy shit, new girl crush. What's that song? "A wiggle in the walk and a giggle in the talk, make the world go 'round. There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl that make me act so funny, make me spend my money, make me feel real loose like a long-neck goose, like a girl. Awwww baby that'sa what I like!" Also, Jen Comas Keck is pretty awesome and has tons of really cool pole videos on her instagram. She also has tons of pull up videos and that makes my little weak upper body dream big. 1 Quote Amazon Warrior 29, F, 5'11 ft, 159lbs #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 Link to comment

El Exorcisto Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Really? No meatheads spouting about the awesomeness of Dan Green? No one saying "I want to be just like Dave Tate... minus the 500 career ending injuries of course?" What about Zydrunas Savickas and his badassery both off the floor and overhead? The lack of testosterone is disturbing. On a more estrogenic note, Dana Linn Bailey and Larissa Reis are the reason my wife wants to get on stage. I can't say I mind one bit.

TheOtherScott Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Probably my Uncle Bruce. He got into fitness in the 70's and has been teaching group fitness classes since at least the 80's. He's not jacked, but he's fit enough he can try something new (ball hockey, cross fit, curling etc) and have fun with it, without wondering if he'll be able to get out of bed the next morning. Not a lot of men in their 60's can claim that. 3 Quote PR's5k - 21:2910k - 47:26 43:2921.1 - 2:05:26 1:44:21 Link to comment

Buff Brogan Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hulk Hogan was probably the first person i ever saw and was in absolute awe of as a kid. As i got older and into action movies Arnold was another physique that was very inspirational(how could you not be impressed by him as Conan?). Granted I've never wanted to get quite to the size of both of those guys, but they were by far my biggest influences in exercise(when i was younger anyway). both have used steroids in the past, but were both monsters even before the juice. Nowadays i'm more inspired by MMA athletes and the like for my goals. those guys have insane endurance and functional strength from hell.

El Exorcisto Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Arnold admits to being on the needle since he was 15 years old. That still doesn't diminish his story or how inspirational it is.

El Exorcisto Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sorry, some of us participate in Sports where JUICING in not a per-requisite Oh you runners and your estrogen induced mood swings. You're just jealous of the meatheads, even us natural ones, with our huge swinging... arms and our long, thick... legs. The needle is hardly a prerequisite to move steel. It should be for "male" distance runners, though. 2 Quote My training log Spoiler 2016 Hudson Valley Strongman presents Lift for Autism (USS), April 16th Contest report 2015 Hudson Valley Strongman presents Lift for Autism (NAS), April 18th Contest report Eighth Annual Vis Vires Outdoor Strongman Competition (Unsanctioned), August 1st Contest report "What's the difference between an injury that you train around and an injury that you train through?"

TheOtherScott Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Can I lament the lack of colourful personalities in the sport of running? I get that they need to train all the time, but can we get a bit of humanity in the mix? Running needs a Richard Sherman who stirs the pot.Speaking of football, I really admire Colin Kaepernick's work ethic. 48 hours after losing the NFC Championship game, he was back at the 49ers training facility working out for the 2014 season.
