Alpha-males

[suma]

there is just something about a man who can strut his stuff in little more than bikini briefs in a room full of clothed people.
For me it says "Yeah I'm the alpha-male, get outa my way I do what I want !"
Gunter Schlierkamp does it so well.

let's start a new thread with pics showing group of people, where at least one guy stands out as the clear dominant figure.

Suma,

Sorry. I don't have anything to add to the thread, but I wanted to thank you for your great idea. I will look for something to post, but I also look forward to what people will share! Thanks, again.

thanks Dee,
those are some nice contributions.

like I said the ideal alpha-male is supremely confident and cocky.
the type of guy who if someone accidently walked in on him while showering, curtain thrown open, he never cringes shyly; but stands confident in his nude form.
the type of man that regards shirts and pants as a nuisance, and jumps at any chance to go without them.

[suma]

although there's plenty of muscle in this pic, but there is little doubt as to who is the alpha male
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...photo/90c7.jpg

he's the only male and alpha male for sure

[suma]

this one is a toss up.
the alpha male is either the hunk in black turtle neck seated in middle, or the dude standing

[suma]

Romanian Yani is certainly an alpha-male

Actually, I think the alpha male is the guy seated with the tie. He looks like he's in the "authority" seat. A tough tough dude.

[suma]

I see your point Dallasmsl.
didn't notice him, but now that you've pointed him out, he does have a mature rugged look about him. But that young buck seated next to him with huge pecs can't be dismissed either. and fact that he's sitting there so confident with legs spread out, with his boyz clustered around him, to me it indicates his alpha status.

[skumbum]

Gonna have to go with seated middle guy.

[musclemike05]

love this thread... love huge muscle guys in "ordinary" situations, totally out of place. This isn't one, but fits the theme I think:

[suma]

goog one MuscleMike
he's originally from Ghana, I forget his name now.

[RPM]

Always my favorite:









This guy's wild attitude in front of a crowd never fails. He's always yelling, screaming and pounding himself.

Yeah thats true but the other two arent people to just glance at either

[suma]

RPM that's Tom Owens, famous for having SUPER strong abs able to withstand being run over by trucks.
I love his screaming, pounding, and psyching also.
wish there was a video of his best footage.

also RPM , please post whatever pics or vids of Tom Owens that you have. thanks.

[BBMikeNJ]

Suma,

Thanks for posting his name. Found this website via google....

http://www.tomowen.us/about.html

[RPM]

Heh yeah I know, it's actually "Tom Owen", not Owens, but people call him by both, but for the sake of Google or other official searches... well yeah, anyway.

I have uploaded 2 videos of him to YouTube:

Human Speedbump: World's Strongest Abs - This is from his Guinness World Record appearance where he run over 7 times in a row.

Bodybuilder run over & parked on by truck full of people - This is from a magazine shoot where I think he was going for most weight - afaik he had an entire orphanage of kids from 6-18 years of age pile in the back of a pickup and actually park on him for a second or two. It was a 4WD truck though, and in the end you see the driver punch the gas pedal and spin off him, which I think broke the lowest ribs.

The images I posted are from a video I recorded from an infomercial years ago. I still have the VHS and watch the performance occasionally, but I have no video capture device, nor can I afford one, so I cannot digitally copy the video and upload it anywhere. I'd love to, though.

The following are 3 images of his largest feats (including a final picture from the magazine shoot video), I didn't initially post them because he wasn't exactly getting off in front of a visible crowd like he was in the first pics, but I suppose he's still performing in front of a crowd regardless:







There are other pictures of him that don't really fit the thread subject, but most are available on his website that BB Mike found. I've got some in his book as well, but they're mostly low-grade B&W prints of him demonstrating basic exercises.

[suma]

an alpha-male is often seen asserting his dominance, anywhere anytime.
he wastes no time showing who's in charge by revealing his muscle and power at every chance

what's going on in the background here? that is if you can get your eyes past this alpha-male

Zoltan Voros and the boys:

[BBMikeNJ]

Zoltan's calves are twice the size of his boys' biceps. Too good. Awesome pic.

[musclemike05]

one more of Zoltan (a bit older so he is not as big as above)


and another two on the same theme:

Who is the alpha male in the foreground? As for the background, it does look like the guy on the right is about to show the effect the alpha male has hardon on him...make that had on him.

That's Mark Alvisi.

[deetrakt]

Bernat Scorus and sidekicks:

PS The guy in musclemike05's pics--Elek Joba--is Hungarian too. Hmm...must be something in the paprika.

[chocomus]

Damn, Deetrakt, Those calves from the last pic look so good

[tarmangani]

Have you noticed that the guy on the right, as well as in the pic of Mark Alvisi, seem to be regarding the alpha speciman with more than just an interest in muscular development? Makes you wonder what the backstory is and what happened later. Was the alpha male on total display for further inspection and complete examination?

[deetrakt]

Alex Nataf (r) and sidekick (l):

[BBMikeNJ]

Alex is definitely the alpha member of that duo, but his bud looks like an ex-nerd who decided to jack himself up into a musclehead. Good job of it too!

[deetrakt]

Messrs. Fankhouser, McGrath and Centopani (only Alphas need apply):

[toughluck]

Holy--! That's the triple threat!

[suma]

damn, how to chose?
Fankhouser's forearms and hands look HUGE

McGrath's got the biggest arms

Centopani looks like the tallest

Deetrakt surely you got more from this photoshoot, don't hold out on us buddy

[deetrakt]

Sorry, but that's the only pic I've seen. The "A" stands for Animal Pak, a supplement company that Frank Mcgrath and Erik Fankhouser (and maybe now Evan Centopani?) represent. It looks to me like a candid from a press conference or expo.

See www.animalpak.com for more info, pics, etc.

[suma]

a real alpha-male also often has subservient cronies on hand to service him
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...Pudztights.jpg

the alpha-male may also be given to taunting and harrassing his underlings

This Wolfe would be a great candidate for your "fair skinned" thread. Is he Eastern European? Judging from all the untanned muscle I'd say chances are good. These guys are tremendous. They build massively muscular bods and then display them in slightly more than a posing strap. Could give a different meaning to the term "packaging".

[suma]

here's Trey Brewer with an impressive group of guys, but no doubt who's the alpha-male
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...eous/treyB.jpg

his arms look incredibly hard and veiny

[toughluck]

I'm surprized this hasn't been mentioned, but in the movie Beowulf, he's an alpha male among mere mortals when he has his nude battle!
