Real World: Joey arm wrestles....

[bayjock]

and loses

[fudge_graham]

Wow, he is a pretty hot loser...sore though he is

[xxaddict]

i still don't get how he lost??? it confuses me...he is clearly a lot bigger than the other guy.

[collegebud]

"it's all about technique..."

[collegemuscle]

size doesn't always matter when it comes to strength. but along with that, if he really is drunk, then his body is very depleted of electrolytes. a guy joey's size needs a LOT of electrolytes to keep his muscle tissue ready to activate/flex, so even though he's kinda big, if his body doesn't have the proper nutrition, he's going to have the strength of a kinda small guy

He cheats (lifting his elbow off the table) and still loses? It makes you wonders if those are real biceps are 'falsies'! lol

what are "falsies" ?

[eeyoreofborg]

It's prolly cuz his arms are from juicing. You're only strong on steroids when you're on them.

Leverage. The other guy is at least a foot taller (if not a foot and a half) taller, which kinda helps. Plus, the other guy is pretty ripped. I wouldn't say "big". Bigger than me... but he's more "sculpted" than strong.

And collegemuscle is right. The fact that he was drunk (more drunk than the other guy, at least) doesn't help.

You're probably joking, but in case you meant "synthol"... it's deffinately not that.

His bicep is too ripped to be false. It actually splits, which a synthol ballon I don't think would.




As a side note, I'm glad he lost. I don't watch the show, but judging by the way he dresses and the way he acts when he's drunk (overly competitive, angry, etc.) he's probably an arrogant D-bag.

I'm glad he was put in his place... 3 times! He needed some humility... and humiliation .

Joey is kind of an odd duck. He keeps his shirt/tanktop on all the time, even in the pool. I wonder if he has skin outbreak all over his back? :P

Amen abbraxis!

Muscle is Muscle is Muscle. Whatever size and density your muscle is your strength will match it if the muscle has proper nutrition. Muscle that is created with steroids is still muscle. There is no such thing as "fake muscle" so no matter how big a guy gets on steroids, every pound of lean mass is REAL lean muscle tissue. How strong he is depends on the density and how that bodybuilder trains. You can either train to get big, or you can train to get strong. So whether your on or off steroids, the strength of the muscle doesn't rely on steroids.

In this one Joey is strong enough to rip his shirt open-

[abbraxis]

AWESOME!

The little chest flex and admired bicep flex (though poorly captured by the camera man) are GREAT!

Why doesn't he take it off more often? He's fucking ripped!

There are "fake muscles" e.g. implants and synthol--things that make a muscle look larger than it really is.

And the basic concept behind the juicing/fake muscle comments is vailid--people who use steroids (or other training techniques or tools) to maximize their muscle size are not necessarily going to be stronger than smaller-muscle athletes. Certainly that is true in arm wrestling (where skill is involved too). The top arm wrestlers have well-developed arms but they don't universally have huge bodybuilder arms. There are plenty of examples of smaller arm wrestlers beating opponents who have bigger biceps; training, genetics, drive and other factors all play into it.

*I'm not suggesting that arm wrestling is all about biceps either; "bigger biceps" just sounds good.

Maybe I'm seeing gays everywhere but the fact that Joey is attentive to his girlfriend when he's sober but blows her off in favor of physical, aggresive contact with men when he is drunk speaks volumes.

Plus, that hair is super-queeny. Was he sipping a cosmo while he had that thing styled?

roflz.
There is a guy I know who I work with who acts just like him. it's hilarious.
When he's sober, he's alpha male, and obviously is very straight, with a girlfriend.

But get him even slightly drunk, and he is all over every guy in the place, touching their guts, flexing his muscles in their face, getting oddly close for a straight guy. He too is a very ripped, massive individual. Get him drunk, and he's a completely different person. lol

Hence the term: Metrosexual

Basically, it's dudes who are bi but don't want to say it outloud...

Joey seems like a jerk. Being a jerk is an instant turn off, no matter how hot you might otherwise be.

Well, I agree... but I can't very well pretend like he doesn't have an awesome body.

I've watched all these videos with the sound off. It helps.
