Hey,
Trust an Englishman to finally bring me to post!

Just watched your vid...it's very inspiring. You have done wonders with you body, and your drive to get bigger drives my own desire too, because I can see what hard work and determination can do. Great shape from the shoulder to waist, you arms are looking wicked too. Good luck with everything in the future. Hope to see more from you soon!

Later!

Spidey

Awesome video Marc! You're looking really solid there...you obviously didn't slack off on your vacation. Keep up the great work.

Holy Moly! Look at them lats!

I'm just sayin'. Those look particularly impressive from the rear.

Glad you're back and posting.

I have to ask ... was that your mum holding the camera in NZ? Or did you rope in some south island stud for a bit of muscle worship?

Marco_ukmus · #**608** March 3rd, 2006, 05:18 AM

Hi all,

Thank everyone for your support as always.

mmfan - no one was in the room with me when i took the footage, the camara was just sitting on oter equipment in the gym. :0)

spidey_ry - Im very pleased that you feel inspired by my work. I really am very happy that my experiences have help inspire the odd person or two :0)

Well guys, as you know i have been somewhat distant from posting on this site since i have come back from my world trip. This has been for two reasons, firstly I have been exceptionally busy and secondly because I have been reviewing whether or not its right for me to be posting on this site anymore.

The holiday was most definetly a great experience and one i will never forget. I did and saw a lot of amazing things and met lots of different people from different cultures and ways of life. One of the main reasons for going away above and beyond experiencing an amazing holiday with my mother and beside giving her an amazing holiday adventure that she wil never forget, was to review my life and the direction i was going in. The holiday has really given me that oppotunity for me to step aside in my life and look back and see where i want things to go. This review in direction was not only in regard of my career, but everything else as well, like my love life (since i was single at the time), my living at home, my interactions with my family and friends, where i want to live and what i want to be doing in the future and not to mention the mad and wild adventures i was experiencing in london. Don't get me wrong, those adventures were most definelty amazing and i dont in the main regret them. However, what i do regret in retrospect is the beginning of some very bad mentalities that i think were beginning to take over me as a result of getting overwhelmed and obsessed with getting muscular and attracting attention. I know some of you last year did point out to me that things were moving in an odd direction and that things were moving too fast for me to handle. Well, I dont think they were moving too fast for me to handle, but I do think i was getting carried away with it. Ok, lets face it, I like attention, no question about that, but we all do, don't we? The problem is, if you do get lots and lots of attention, despite how strong willed you are, Its very hard not to fall into the trap of thinking that you are so great as what people are telling you. Now, I know im not a bad person and always strive to treat others how i wish to be treated, however, in retrospect, I'm not that happy about the way other peoples attitudes might have affected my way of thinking. I mean, no one should ever put others down or be so up themselves to think that they are doing you a favour by merely hanging around with you, right? Anyway, so, like i say, a huge reality check was in order and hence has now been executed.

The other major things that are going on is that I have now moved to London so at the humble age of 25, have finalyl moved out of my mothers house and am now living in London. Also my contract has is about to come to an end and hence im madly looking for a new developer position in london whilst at the same time working really hard to finish off the system i have been developing for the last year and half, so all in all, its a VERY hectic time.

So, what does this mean so far as body building is concerned, well, obviously, nothing has changed there. I am still working out hard, infact, harder than ever now and have gained more size since the holiday (since hte workout video), and seem to be growing very well. However, since i am so very hectic coupled with my review of the direction in my life, I have decided to terminate the exposure of my progress on this site. Obviouisly this decision has not come lightly, but i feel its time to move on. This is in part because this site attracts a prodominetly gay audience and that its so fixated on muscle and muscle worship. Where what i really need to do is to have my progress exposed on a site where there is absolutely no sexual connotations, like a purely body building website where all those purely interested in body building and that alone can make comment on the progress being made, and one does not have to filter their inbox from sexual offers and other weird and insinuating emails. Infact, whether or not I will continue to expose my progress in body building at all is still in question. I guess, even though my privacy is in the main secure, i perhaps have the opinion now that maybe, if for nothing else my career, that i need to make sure that no problems can arise my having such personal detail exposed on the internet. For now at least, I will sease to expose my progress.

The webiste marcomus.com, was always invisaged to take over my exposure of my progress here on MGS, and perhaps will in the future. The postings of new progress pics and what not might apear from time to time on marcomus.com, but again, this depends on how i feel and my view on this in the coming weeks and months. I think I will most likely continue to post my progress, only, like i said before, under a completely appropriate site like a true body building site, or perhaps a blogsite like blogspot where one can record and publish posts on what ever subject they choose.

In bringing this post to a close, I would like to thank all of you for your continued support through out the time in which i have been apart of this site. I in the main, have really enjoyed being apart of such a great online community and especially interacting with those members who contribute on a regular basis and continue to support existing and new comers into the world of body building.

I would like to wish all those seriously into body building all the very best of luck in the future, not only with regard to chaning the shape and size of your physique, but also the very best of luck in you lives also.

Thanks all, and god bless!

oh, and keep growing!...

Marc

Corwin · #**610** March 4th, 2006, 07:15 AM

I too am glad to see that you are doing OK. There comes a time in most young people's lives when they need to sow their wild oats, check out other scenes and then make life-choices for themselves and not based upon other's expections or what other people tell them what they want. Glad to see you're working your way down that path. I'm sure you'll end up doing what is right for you.

Best,
Scott

ottomun6 · #**611** March 4th, 2006, 09:54 AM

That sounds like a pretty profound decision there Marc. Thinking of the future is probably one of the best signs of maturity there is. We will defininitely miss you around here, but we support your decision to develop your professional life and hope your love life falls into place. But from what we have seen of your character and drive, I don't think you'll have any trouble in either case. There has been so much bad news in the world lately that it was good to hear about your triumphs. So go ahead and conquer the world, we know you are going to continue having a great life anyway!!

Take care bud,
-otto

Hi Marc,
All the very best to you for the future and hope everything everything comes together as you wish.
Keep well

Hey Marco
Well done on your achievements to date.

Your log was informative and I appreciated it. I learnt alot and got an close-up to see the desire and dedication one needs to transform their body into what one wants. It was invaluable!!

As for you deciding to move on, it happens to all of us and I can only wish you well. I said in one of my earlier posts, you should ensure you develop in all aspects of your life, and now you are, good on you.

All the best and thanks again for sharing this episode of muscle development with the board.

wow, I really feel like I missed out on this whole journey

But it was never the less fascinating to read.

Reminds me of the French countess who, upon discovering the first wrinkle, drew the drapes of her mansion and never went into society again.

It's really sad, even his website is offline now. He might have one of those jobs that if they learned of this website and his involvement, they would just fire him. Sad to see things like this happen, but life was never meant to be fair.
