Victor - It's funny. When I met my wife, I had a gorgeous, incredibly smart, absurdly well trained, well mannered, self controlled, sickeningly sweet and loving Czech Wolfdog. A good dog. Rin-Tin-Tin good. Lassie good. My wife told me that when she saw this dog and how we worked together, she knew right then and there that I was the man she wanted to have children with. Pretty wild. I do believe that you really can tell a lot about a person by how they deal with their dog.
You're right about some dogs.. some ARE too far gone to deal with, but I'm not sure it's so cut and dry. It's hard as hell, but it can be done, a lot of the time, but is it worth spending two years to undo every year of damage from a bad owner? Hard to tell... and even then you never know if it's going to latch on to your kid's face out of the blue. I guess it's all about the context and the kind of environment you're in that determines whether it's appropriate to be the martyr and take on that kind of job. I for one would never trust a rescue around one of MY kids.
All told, I agree with you. The relationship a person has with a dog is a barometer for the kind of person they are. Well done.

Some good quotes.
However, to a lot of people, he left those days behind when his people took down his photos at Gold’s Beach in Venice. Fuckin politics.
Its golds gym……not golds beach

If you are looking for a workout to blast up your testosterone level, add mass, and be ripped, try CrossFit. I have done a lot of programs…HIT, high volume, body weight , but CrossFit is the shit! I do it at home or work gym.
For the aspiring athlete who wants to grossly overtrain and learn absolutely nothing about growing, follow Arnold. For the guy who wants the real, no bullshit approach to packing on some serious size, follow Mike Mentzer
Mentzer’s program will only work if you are on steroids, if that. How many titles did Mentzer win? How many did Arnold win? Frank Zane? Serge? There has to be a volume component and a strength/heavy component.
I have to disagree. I don’t use steroids and have gotten good results using Mentzer’s program. I have also used lots of volume and got diddly-squat, except for fatigue from over training.
If anything Mentzer’s routines are suitable for the natural athlete more so than anything. Mentzer based his routines around what actually makes a muscle respond and grow, not an obsessive/compulsive mindframe that more meant better. As for bodybuilding titles won, in the end its 90% genetics. Arnold had the genetics, period. Arnold rarely ever talked about nutrition at all, this was a guy who could eat nothing but bran muffins and go into a show and kick some ass. However, Mentzer had Arnold smoked at the 1980 Olympia, politics were the ONLY reason he didn’t get first place that year. I’m not trying to take anything away from Arnold, but I lived by his books and routines like it was the gospel for a number of years, and didn’t get shit compared to what Heavy Duty/high intensity training gave me in just 6 months.
Arnold was pure discipline, I can guarantee you he wasnt eating bran muffins when he was winning all those contests. He was a steak and egg guy for sure, especially around contest time.
Robert H, HD gave you good results in 6 months? What happened after those 6 months? What do you consider “good results”? You end up training once a week a few sets and you get huge? Dont make me laugh!
