Perfect to cover up a pec tear and unaesthetic veins in the shoulder/chest area.

I think tattoos is a personal subject and we don’t now the reasons he did them….so there is no need to judge him rigorously Tongue. (ok.... I’m a big Sly’s fan Wink).

Although my last post sounded harsh, I wouldn't blame him for using the tattoos to cover that area of his body. I am a fan of Stallone's and own his 'Sly Moves' book which I definitely recommend. I think Stallone is in better shape now than he was in the first 2 rocky movies, but the fact is, whenever I've heard women talk about him they usually speak negatively about all the veins in his shoulder/chest and how awful they look.

It even got to the stage in the final Rocky movie where pretty much all the press-released 'fight' photographs had that area and his pec tear photoshopped away... so its obvious he is pretty aware of it and either the studio, himself (or both) wanted it to be removed.

greekmuscle, just so you know - I would have written a review, but I moved house recently and that book is still boxed away.  Embarrassed I plan on rescuing it soon and will give a more indepth opinion once I've had another look at it.   Undecided

I have it and really like it as well. For not being an incredibly big book, it is packed with a lot of information. The first part of it is basically a recounting of his career and a brief overview of the diets he used. He talks about how he did things wrong in terms of dieting (by going super low calorie/low carbohydrate) in comparison with how he eats now (lower fat/more balanced approach). The other part of the book is a description of the exercises he recommends (for men and women...with some nice pictures of jennifer flavin demonstrating them) and some samples of what foods/recipes he recommends. I made the "oatmeal" cookies he recommends and they're pretty tasty.

all-in-all it's a good book with sound advice. He is championing a more realistic view of health and fitness by not suggesting too extreme methods (i.e. super high volume and super low carb, like he used to use).

I don't get the tats either...hope their fake.

As far as a personal subject, well when you show them to millions of people, how personal are they? Why work your ass off on your body and cover it up with tats?

Just like Lee Priest, and especially his face....what a disaster.

Yup....freaky. Bodybuilding has always been a cult sport, especially before Pumping Iron sort of explained the whole deal, and before there was a Bally's on every corner, and we had to build our own garage and basement gyms using pipes and homemade racks.

Compare the crowd at the old Mr. A contests or at the venerable York Picnics from the sixties. Normal guys, some eccentrics. Now compare the crowd at the Arnold or the Mr. O. Many, not all of them, as Draper sez, are going for the tatooed, ex-con, frightening, macho, bloated, idiotic look that screams, "I didn't get enough attention as a kid from my parents, but look how big and scary I am now."

Biker girls and barflys love 'em for it.   Cry

But Sly looks terrific still. Of course if you had a cook, nutritionist, trainer, and especially, a 'scrip for Growth Hormone, as he publically recommended for all middle aged guys, you'd look pretty sharp, too.

That faint rectangle in the upper left pec looks more like a Pacemaker....
