Such a hot fucker, I hope he can be persuaded to visit NYC sometime — we’d keep him well fed with meat AND cock, LOL. Does anybody else see the facial resemblance to porn star William Seed?

@purplekow Thank you... I hope that I've done my best and continue to always do my best to show you how much I appreciate you doc 🫂🥹😗 

You've been real good to me and for a long time. See you soon Doc! 

Aside from Danny’s stingingly appropriate response directly to @christiancana, I can think of no better answer to his question, or any clearer illustration of Danny’s philosophy, than this exchange between @purplekow and @Vin Marco!

This is how I imagine @Vin Marco training for his triumphal end-of-year tour:

Calling @Vin Marco — Bro!!! It’s Monday, and WEEKS until you travel our way — we need a physique update, stat! We’re dying here!

Mascdom is what the Dr ordered. Will he back online or in NYC anytime soon? 

No plans that I know of, but I just texted him to check in, and if there is news I can share, I’ll report back.

Big, tight, bowling-ball muscle asses are my thing, and the best I’ve had belongs to https://rentmen.eu/Musclebullx, in the UK.

Joking 🙃 aside I'd like to think I've done everything I can to stay both healthy and in my youth. My folks both look great, neither one looks their age, crossing my fingers I've inherited that from them in addition to all my daily doings +  what I consume and also don't consume lol 😂 )

All my favorite people are Peter Pan types. As one intense, precocious, semi-feral adolescent to another, I salute you, brother!

 @myophile this is a  comparison of my bicep over the course of 19 years... we went the first time in 2005, we went back in 2006 and then again in 2007 and I believe this photo was from that first trip in 2005... we left for Cabo San Lucas immediately after the 2005 Mr. Olympia. The photo was taken at a place called Las Ventanas ( two Palm Springs gatherings ago a very kind board member introduced himself and told me he was there while the three of us were visiting the same resort  ) i'm not gonna name drop because I think it's kind of tacky and gross but there was a Russian female tennis player with her, then very famous Spanish singer boyfriend staying in the villa next to us who asked if they could squeeze our muscles 😜

We remember our friend who took us there telling us that first time, "you boys better enjoy this because this is luxury we will probably never see again" and we ended up going back two more times 😂🙏🏽 for a week all three times.

I always thought and hoped I would age well but the kind of progress I have made over the years even I can't believe. I know it's highly unusual, but I firmly believe that good habits make time an ally. I am not the biggest guy in the world nor am not the most genetically gifted guy in the world, but I am very disciplined and stubborn when it comes to meeting my goals and improving myself. I've said it before I'll say it again none of us escape the aging process, at some point I'll reach that fulcrum and begin the decline, but until that day comes, I'm gonna keep enjoying improving myself year after year. I know  cynics would love to ask how much longer do I plan to do this and the answer is as long as my body keeps responding to the stimulus and besides for me, it's never been better. I no longer have to grit my teeth. I don't have to see people I don't truly enjoy so it remains a win-win situation. I still absolutely love what I do and I enjoy the people I get to spend time with more than I have the words to articulate it. What more could I ask for?

I went back and looked at photos of Larry Scott in his prime — major masturbatory fodder for this adolescent muscle-hound — and fuck me running if Danny’s guns aren’t significantly bigger, and harder, too!

You're kind to say my long time pal. Im human, I'm not immune to mental exhaustion ( luckily it's not my body that gets tired from what I put it through ) which leads to hiatuses and moratoriums from training and my usual diet that leads to getting a bit fluffy from time to time,  not often but once in a great while...  sometimes it feels real good to let go of the reigns but after about two weeks, it starts to suck 😜 I  am exceedingly good at being elusive when that does occur that's why you'll be hard-pressed to find any "off-season" photos of floating around 😜

Here's a photo taken this morning.. I usually do cardio at home except on Mondays because that's when I check in with my diet coach and I like to utilize the same lights and mirror for consistency and continuity.. The stair climber was being utilized, so I quickly got slight upper body pump while I waited, and I pumped up my arms "un peu 🤏🏽"

For most of my "career" my arms were never my strong point. I've always been very chest and quad dominant. In fact I had a trainer/coach in Palm Springs who had me train my legs once every 11 days so that the rest of my body could catch up.. now I'm quite satisfied with the size, shape and hardness of my arms. Even when they weren't as big as I wanted them to be, they were always as hard as nails, they always had a lovely split, but now there'

I look forward to connecting with you again @Rickee You've always been one of the good ones and we're even pals from the MSS days 🫂😘 ( and thanks again for always providing the black coffee ☕️ ) 😜

re so much bigger than they were five and 10 years ago. 

Jeeeeesus, big guy 💪🏻😳

Those guns look like Larry Scott’s in his prime, and I can bestow no higher compliment!

If this forum has any value at all, it is as a clearing house for these sorts of awkward but important issues.

TL:DR — what Danny said, every word.

In addition, I would advise any would-be client to carefully read RM reviews, and comments here, in order to judge whether a provider is trustworthy or not. 

For my own part, I only schedule repeat dates with providers who seem comfortable with me, and more importantly, comfortable in their own skin — guys who can carry on a conversation, who express some measure of interest in me, and don’t mind sharing something about themselves, with the goal of establishing, at the very least, a cordial professional relationship, and at best, a lasting friendship.

For what it’s worth, I apply EXACTLY these same criteria in evaluating a personal trainer, or a physical therapist, or a masseur.

I count some of my closest friends among members of these professions — “Gentlemen of the Evening” most definitely included. I am fascinated by what they do, grateful that I can afford their services, and prepared to celebrate them, both as people and as high level professionals, to whoever will listen.

FYI, I can’t connect to rentmen this evening through any of its satellite sites.

I remember him from back then too.  I was rarely in Boaton so never had the opportunity.  But looked astonishing. 

He was physically astonishing, and one of the sweetest people I’d met in the biz. But COVID, what with gym closings and no clients, hit him hard; he moved to Florida, was briefly in New Jersey, then I lost track of him.

I used to see MuscleCompanion / Ben Kieran every time I visited Boston, but since he dropped out of the biz a few years back, the pickings in Beantown have been VERY slim. I haven’t found anybody to hire there since the pandemic.

I've said it before and I'll say it again until you and everybody else is blue on the face... inspiration and motivation is a two-way street. Each and every time you @myophiletell me about a great workout,  a great pump and or you share with me pictures of your spectacular progress,  the shape of that bicep that looks like it's as hard as nails and that has developed a split 🍑 it  both inspires and motivates me to keep on going! 

I may not have started this thread that's dedicated to me, but I'm certainly happy it exists... i've read a lot of wonderful comments, generous and kind words, and I've even met people because of this thread so maybe it's not so weird that I post and comment on it with progress photos.... if you think I look OK today wait until you see what I look like in five weeks. If my photos and my story can inspire and motivate just one person,  I feel like i've succeeded and that I have contributed in a positive manner. I'm not 22 years old anymore and if I can keep on improving year after year, so can anybody else. It's not even up for adjudication that I am in far better physical condition, much more symmetrical, much more muscular and much more defined vs what I looked like  10 and 15 years ago! If I can do it, so can anybody and everybody else. 

 

 

Aw, thank you, buddy — you sure know how to sweet-talk a wannabe meathead!

To your point my good man.... even after 1 day of HIGH CARBOHYDRATES the body can look drastically different and of course function drastically different . In the process of eliminating unwanted body fat by staying low carbs for days on end the lack of glycogen in the muscles can give them  sort of a "flat" look making pumps in the gym a bit more onerous to attain.  Thankfully, yesterday I broke that cycle and had a very high carb day and this is what I looked like this morning, not pumped as today is a day off from the weights. I did a little cardio here at home and went to the gym  around the corner from my house to snap a few progress photos.

After tomorrow, I have five weeks to really push myself to new highs and my own all time best 😎

@myophile you asked me to keep posting my PR's... while I didn't break a PR yesterday. I certainly hit it again. Something I had not done in 10 years. The last time I l leg pressed this much weight I was living in Palm Springs 10 years ago. I was able to rep  out 10 repetitions on my eighth set and I did the same thing yesterday. ( and yes, I re-rack my weights 😜 ) 

 

 

My man! Frankly, a feat like that, achieved AGAIN after ten years’ hiatus, absolutely stands as a new “personal best” in my book. To the group, full disclosure: Danny is sharing gym stories with me because he knows that for me, it counts as “talking dirty,” and has exactly the same effect …

It would be even better if there was a sub forum in Daddy's Den in between The Deli and Spas and Masseurs called the Beef 🥩 Market or Meat 🥩 Market where as MSS used to say "where those dedicated to the creation and service of muscle meet."

I think it would be attractive to both players on both sides of the fence. What do you think @myophile @Brock O @alexslaveboy @purplekow

Sign me up, big guy!

Not at all. I weight train to look good and for body functionality. Three 45s on each side is my max and I'm happy with that. I have known too many men who have insisted on pressing the weight of two refrigerators. Both admitted they screwed up their knees for nothing.

All good — but the issue is not what you lift, and why, but what Vin can handle; and what justification you have for criticizing the capacity and goals of somebody at Vin’s level — or anybody else, for that matter.

I met him in a social situation, I think about one year ago. He is not my type, but he was very friendly and engaging/engaged in conversation. He was very excited and enthusiastic about his porn career going up, almost ecstatic about the jump in his OF subscriptions and social media following after collaborating with Rhyheim Shabazz. I may be wrong, but he did not strike me as very invested in escorting.

… which is possibly why he’s let his Rent.Men profile expire.

And.... from one aesthete to another 👯‍♂️

Aw, bro — you’re too kind! And honestly, to the extent that I am progressing in my physical transformation journey, I owe you a significant debt of gratitude, for helping me along The Way. From the first time we met you have supported and encouraged me in my quest for physical excellence, always ready with valuable advice drawn from your own phenomenal success. I am the merest Padawan Learner; but if I “get it,” even a little bit, it’s partly because of your generosity.

You nearly rendered me speechless... I've always said that you have a wonderful way with words. Thank you for taking the time to write what you wrote... I've said it before and I'll say it again my friend, you just "get it" the longer  I know you the more I realize it... motivation and inspiration are two-way streets  so is positive energy and I feed off the beautiful energy you exude. Every single time I see you I leave feeling better than I did before I saw you. That's just the kind of person you are. You have quite a remarkable story that would shake and move a lot of people. Keep doing your thing 🥰

I'm not quite where I want to be with respect to my conditioning but in 6 weeks ( exactly from today ) I'll have given it my all once again to keep elevating and pushing my own bar. Again, I'm pleased with where I am today but I'm even more excited about where I'll be physically speaking at the end of this diet prep. These diet preps and target 🎯 dates ( sometimes there's a photo shoot connected to them ) help to keep me improving year after year and help keep me in my youth ( as much as one can to fend off the inevitable 🤣😉😎 )

Thank you for explaining this, Danny. It’s important for people — folks and friends! — to realize how critical these intensely focused growth and refinement projects are for you, and other physique stars. Bodybuilding is an art form, and like any other art form, native talent (genetic advantage) is the base, but creating a masterpiece requires, on top of that, endless practice (brutal training), phenomenal discipline (diet and supplementation), and above all, a clear artistic goal, a VISION of the body you are trying to achieve. It’s both fascinating, and frankly humbling, to learn something about your progress.

I hate seeing this kind of absurdity at a gym. Not only is it unnecessary but it hogs the weight plates.

Weight plates are there to be used. And that amount of weight is only absurd if you can’t handle it. Sour grapes?

Today, I'm exactly 6 weeks away from my target 🎯 date and peak condition. @myophile A bit better each week.. I'm actually growing while "fining down" 🙌🏽

Fuuuuuuuck. Nobody on earth electrifies a long slow holiday weekend like you do, buddy. Just one question: WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER?

He had planned to visit NYC in June, but had to cancel because of a work commitment. I’ve checked in with him a couple times since then, but he’s got no firm plans yet to visit this fall. We live in hope!
