My Favorite Bodybuilder

The sport of bodybuilding is an amazing thing. In fact I’m a bodybuilder myself and I was inspired by a certain movie and that movie is Pumping Iron. The best bodybuilder of all time is easily Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was the definition of proportioned mass! He had it all mass, aesthetics and charisma. From his massive and full chest. To his lats that flow nicely into his waist. One could argue and say that Arnold’s arms were his best feature and they wouldn’t be wrong. His biceps had the best peak of all time. His triceps were massive and very symmetrical to the rest of his physique. Arnold’s chest was sculpted by the gods themselves. It’s full, round and very complete. Just everything about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s physique is amazing. It’s the physique I aspire to achieve. Arnold was from the Golden Era of bodybuilding. An era of bodybuilding where pure mass wasn’t as important. What was important was looking symmetrical, balanced and having a tiny waist with an amazing V taper.

Social Network

The movie Social Network is about how Mark Zuckerberg had an idea to create his own website. Zuckerberg had a friend name Eduardo that was like a partner with him on the website. But Later there is a change in their relationship. Both had their own ideas and these ideas seemed to clash causing problems and animosity between the two. Eventually leading to Eduardo getting kicked off of the Facebook team. The mistake that led Eduardo to getting kicked off in the first place was freezing the bank account.

Some of Mark Zuckerbergs most genius moments when creating Facebook was his idea for the relationship status. I felt this was a huge attraction and really helped bring people to the website. This plus the many great ideas he had for bringing people together through his website and making Facebook a place for people to talk to one another was just pure genius. Mark Zuckerberg had a meeting with the Winklevoss twins. In the meeting with the Winklevoss twins Mark Zuckerberg got the main idea for creating Facebook.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
