That is possibly the most useful post I've ever seen. You forgot to tell which days you do your posing and flexing though.

You see, try to have a serious discussion and you have to go and fuck things up. As for the flexing and posing, it looks like you have that down pat by the way you were doing it up in that video, ya big homo. I'm surprised you didn't strip down to your skivies for that one.

Oh oh, you see? You see? You gloss right over my huge compliment and focus on the witty joke made at your slight little expense. What a girl. Go eat some chocolates and cry at something will you?

haha, thanks a lot!

It's a great place to be with great videos of power and strength.

Plus, the inside jokes of strongman penis holding is pretty funny as well.
