Imaginary Lat Syndrome

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

With the Arnold Weekend upon us, I want to ask about something that is seen regularly during the weekend.

Now, am I here to bash it? No... those who have it manage to speak badly enough for themselves without words ever being spoken. However, I would like to know exactly WHY people have ILS, or think they need to.

Your avatar, but without the lats.

they have the intense desire for the rest of the world to think they are as big as they think they are.

A guy who has no lats to speak of, but has his arms flared out so far, he looks like he is waiting for a gust of wind to help him take off.

People that hold their arms like you are now but not only for a picture but for all the time.

Hopefully one day they'll find a cure before it's too late.

One of the worst sufferers of ILS I have ever come across is Doodley Roobley or whatever the fuk his name is. He thinks of himself as a benchpress champion (with a bench shirt on of course, SURPRISE!) I feel bad for him because his ILS is compounded by his contracting imaginary benchpress numbers disorder.

Normally, I would never make fun of someone just because they look like a regular guy on the street but this guy claims to be the bronze world medalist in the benchpress, a 16 x world record holder and on his website it calls him "One of the hottest lifters in the world." Plus, when I joked about his having ILS he tripped out like I was trying to ruin his benchpressing career (career?) I marked him down as reason # 482 why bench shirts should be banned. Here he flexing his 174 pounds of massive muscle!

16 X world record in the special olympics maybe.

So.....We can join his website and rail on this toolcloset? Because it looks like he can be easily made to cry. Literaly.

You know what, give the guy credit. It is probably more strenuous to hold your arms in that awkward position than it is to put on the muscle.
