Guest Spunk Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'd love to hear some Kobashi workout stories. Anyone share if they can. I'm really not trying to harp on this.. But.. My previous point stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Evil Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'd love to hear some Kobashi workout stories. Anyone share if they can. I'm really not trying to harp on this.. But.. My previous point stands. Aren't you going offtopic here? This is a Kobashi thread. Training/Working out is an essential part of prowrestling. They are forever linked. Eh, how's that creepy to want to hear some workout stories? I love to workout. I love to hear workout theories. I love to hear fascinating workout stuff. I like to see th effect of stuff. For the person themselves and for the wrestling I like to hear stories about people pushing themselves as motivation. Wether it's Bruce Lee doing 1 finger pushups or Angle's insane workouts for the Olympics or someone doing breathing squats or a dojo wrestling story -- I want to hear about it. It's just curiousity about a natural mannish thing to do. l part What's so creepy about that? Am I just supposed to like and talk about Cabbage Patch Kids or My Little Pony or makeup or something?

Bix Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 A man, especially one who was prone to gaining body fat easily several years ago, does not naturally get to be in the most muscular shape of his life after kidney cancer, a nephrectomy, and turning 40. It just doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what point Spunk was referencing, but for me, there was a certain TMI story you once divulged involving a weight bench and a workout you loved just a little too much that makes your intense fascination with the subject a bit creepy to me.

There's also the issue of the most notorious workout freak in the business turning out to be a complete psychopath who killed his family before hanging himself from his exercise equpment.

Yes, because of something uncommon that happened to me is the reason I'm obsessed with exercise. And therefore, that makes me liking exercise creepy. And I guess anyone else it's happened to before too. That makes absolutely no sense on any level besides some kind of CREEPY obsession you have with being negative about everything and trying to make sleaze or negativity out of thin air with no ingredients. There's no point to your statement in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I don't see how he can get the surgery if he's on a cocktail of shit. Did he detox or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I've often wondered this myself. When wrestlers are hospitalized with injuries, why are drug tests not performed at the hospitals? It's usually impossible to get any kind of surgery until you've been tested for drugs (and had to list the meds in your system on some type of form), AIDS, hepatitis, etc. How do wrestlers get around it?

It's usually impossible to get any kind of surgery until you've been tested for drugs (and had to list the meds in your system on some type of form), AIDS, hepatitis, etc. How do wrestlers get around it? Yeah, no kidding. When I rolled my car in November 2006, they ran blood tests to see if I was high or drunk. I don't know how wrestlers get past the whole thing. Maybe through their personnal Dr. who by passes the preliminary tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohtani's jacket Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 The other thing I don't understand is Kobashi was having regular one month check-ups, until he got an all-clear. So he must have started a new cycle after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the period between when he initially went out and the period he got worked on was rather substantial? The tumor was discovered June 29th and he had the operation July 6th. I'm no doctor, but I worked in a hospital for four years. I spent a lot of time in the operating theatres. Administering anaesthetics to drug users is not easy.

There's no point to your statement in this thread. Even a long-winded son-of-a-bitch like myself isn't going to run down your entire history of creepy workout related comments in detail. I go to the workout bench one because it's the most memorable. Suffice it to say, you've had a long history of talking about wrestlers' workouts (and one wrestler moreso than the others) that tended to read like those ads on EBay for wrestling videos, with the seller focusing on how handsome and muscular the competitors are, basically selling it as gay muscle porn. God, look at your other post: It's just curiousity about a natural mannish thing to do. Ignoring the fact that there is nothing "natural" about what these guys do to their bodies (you cited Kurt Angle's workouts, for crying out loud), what does being "mannish" have to do with anything? You know what wrestler's workout routine I'm curious about? Mark Henry. Dude is probably the strongest guy in the history of the world. How he got there seems way more interesting to me than how Bodybuilder X became studly enough to make a lesser man melt at his very touch.

Bix Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'm seriously hoping that's sarcasm about Mark Henry.Why? Given how he's proven himself as top level both in lifting and wacky strongman feats, he's pretty much the strongest man who ever lived.

This on so many levels just maybe the stupidest post on the internet. Stupidity? Check Lies? Check Nonsensical? Check Assumptions of things I said which I didn't to try to make some weird point? Check No knowldege of the subject you're talking about it? Check Obsession with trying to twist things around? Check Sterotypes? Check Leading a reader to think gay is creepy? Check Attempt at putting another poster down? Check Yup, sounds like a typical S.L.L. post for the most part. I could write essays about it but to be honost I don't think you're worth the time because I'll probably just get another stupid post. And please forgive me if I hurt your feelings.

Kinda was hoping to find an article that did read so...um...strangely, but here ya go. I remember Meltzer doing a write-up on an earlier article around the time he became the first person to clean and press the inch dumbbell, where the writer said that Henry was probably the strongest dude to ever live, and Meltzer agreed.

As...peculiar as that article is, it mentions something that I never thought about: He was 6 years out of competition as a lifter when he won the Arnold Classic.

Imagine you're supposed to go play hockey. Instead of making it to the hockey rink, you're out in left field with a baseball uniform on in the wrong stadium trying to play soccor while coaching people on how to play basketball. That's not worth responding to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
