Huge Nips Beefy Pecs : Muscle Bull Men With Big Nipples

BeefPieBear — 2013-05-06T23:24:04-07:00

Whether you’re a Muscle Bear who’s worked really hard on developing your pectorals, or were naturally gifted with big, beefy pecs, you may find other aspects of your chest development and presentation are lacking. Specifically you may find your tiny nipples getting buried in all that muscle and fur. It could be argued that weight training and bodybuilding Bears packing on muscle are already engaged in one form of body modification: Tatoos, piercings, genital or male nipple enlargement are others.

Muscle Bulls and Bear men with big nipples can be quite a turn on and some may pursue nipple training and pumping to get thick, meaty nipples other guys can really sink their teeth into.

How To Get Big Nipples

Commit To Daily Nipple Training For Huge Nips

Set realistic expectations about how to get big, swollen nipples permanently. It takes time to get long term results, perhaps just a few months of pumping your nipples daily or at least 5 times a week. But the immediate benefits of big swollen nipples to play with only takes 15 minutes or so for temporary satisfaction.

Male Nipple Pumps And Cups For Meaty Nipples

Here’s a few affordable products to pump your nips and get started with your male nipple enlargement fetish. For around $10 - $25 I’d recommend a few men’s nipple suckers of note:

Clear Silicone Nipple Cups

For Nip Play and Training

The best starter solution pictured above is a pair of Supple Nipple Cups for about $25 shipped. The clear silicon lets you see men’s swollen nipples and they seal very well around the areola for staying put for a long nip pumping session.

If you’re really cheap, or want to add to your playtime toy chest you’ll also want a pair of the big, knobby Snake Bite Kit cups that are around $8 with free shipping as an alternative. They are tougher, have more nipple suction power and are great for tugging and slapping around during sex play.

Prepare For Pumping Your Nips

If you have a bear hairy chest, you may want to shorten and trim the hairs around your nipples slightly to insure a good seal to the areola. I recommend a pair of very high-quality Round-Tipped Safety Scissors - something that will also come in handy for other Gay men’s grooming needs like nose and ear hair or eyebrow and mustache trimming.

To have the best men’s teat pumping experience, moisten the skin around your nipples with a warm, wet compress first to hydrate and increase the blood flow to the nipples and pecs. Then use a good lotion like Lubriderm to soften the hydrated nipple tissue and create more skin elasticity before applying the nipple enlargers. Pumping will cause micro-trauma to the skin tissue. A little is what you need to get progressively larger nipples. Too much or over-enthusiastic pumping early on can be painful and may lead to temporary scabbing if overdone. Remember, you want to protect your nipples to enhance their sensitivity by pumping, not damage them with scarring or by abuse (unless that’s your trip.)

Explore Other Male Nipple Pumping Websites

Men with huge nipples like you’ll find at NippleCoach.com can provide additional nipple trainer expertise on nipple pumping tips and techniques. You’ll also find it a good source for higher-end genital and nipple suction pumps and nipple pumping cylinders to get your male teats thick, fat and huge - both safely and with quicker results.

MuscleBear Beef-Up : Wendler Workout vs Westside Barbell Routine

BeefPieBear — 2013-04-26T13:47:25-07:00

If you’re serious about transforming yourself into a big Muscular Bear, you need to either start your weight training hard and heavy or change-up your current workout routine. With a Back To The Basics and very focused core Mesocycle muscle building phase you can pack on a measurable amount of muscle mass in a short period of time. HIT - H.I.T - H.I.I.T. - whatever you call it - High Intensity Interval Training that focuses on the largest muscle groups in your body is the way to alter your calorie burning Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) and start trading pounds of fat for pounds of muscle.

In my quest to transform into a Muscle Bear, I’ve made dissappointingly slow but steady gains using a conventional split weight training routine. But even with a systematic approach to alternately training legs, back, arms, chest, etc. on alternate days, it seemed rather scatter-shot and lacking focus. Split Routines are common for most weight trainees and bodybuilders, and allow you to work out 5 or more days a week while still allowing various muscle groups to recover while you’re building up the others. For a lot of fit Bear men, daily exercise is simply part of a ‘Fit For Life’ mantra and it can be hard to actually take days off and really do NOTHING to allow your body, metabolism and nervous system to truly rest and recover like it needs to.

It was a challenge, but I decided if I was really going to take my quasi-muscular Bear physique to the next level, I needed to Stop. Rethink. And Re-Focus on basic core exercises in a Mesocyle. I’d lost the Bear belly, started seeing real muscle definition, but kept losing weight. Clearly I was losing more fat, but not trading it pound for pound with new muscle.

A MuscleBear workout of Classic HIT Training focusing on only my largest muscle groups, done in combination sets of opposing muscle groups helped me gain more lean muscle mass in 6 weeks than I had in the previous six months. A big part of that was reading up on two very popular Mesocycle programs: The WESTSIDE BARBELL WORKOUT and the WENDLER 5 3 1 RESULTS-oriented methods favored by Muscle Bear bodybuilders or Powerlifting Muscle Bears who are dead serious about achieving rapid muscle mass and strength gains.

Most of these Wendler and Westside Barbell inspired routines were modified to include free-weight barbell and dumbbell combinations such as bench presses alternated with bent-over barbell rows, shrugs with overhead presses, bicep curls alternated with tricep extensions, etc. I really stayed focused on free weights and only allowed myself to use machines to substitute for a few critical H.I.T. moves. Because of sacral and lower lumbar issues, a variety of leg press and hack squat machines helped me minimize the issues that strict form in free-standing barbell squats demands. And it’s just hard to substitute the unique muscle building qualities that the standing or lying leg curl and leg extension Cybex, Nautilus or Hammar Strength machines can bring to beef-up and define your quads, hamstrings and glutes. Both the Westside Barbell program and Wendler Training Method incorporate the option for varied supplemental exercises to balance out their core-training lifts.

Keeping in mind the six largest muscle groups of the body, I really kept myself critically aware of a few things: A Bear’s triceps are generally twice as large as biceps, so I made sure to pump and burn the back of my arms more consciously. That my leg workouts needed to become much heavier and painful to shock my muscles and metabolism into serious mass building mode. Ditto for dumbbell shrugs to add the visual mass that well-developed trapezius muscles add to an imposing physique. And for a thick, strong back, I had to load up and grind out more bent-over and barbell rows.

Get Thicker Legs - A Big Beefy Butt - Meaty Thighs

BeefPieBear — 2013-05-13T11:34:54-07:00

A Muscle Bear’s glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings are the largest muscle bundles in a man’s body. They burn a remarkable number of calories while - and after they're being trained. Those squats, lunges, leg presses and deadlift sets take a significant energy toll on the whole body, yet yield great muscle mass-building results for the long haul. Because one's body works systemically, those demanding leg training sessions will contribute to a rapid increase in both muscle mass and in elevating your body's resting metabolic rate. The burn from hard-core leg training lasts long, long after the workout is finished.

Ham-Hock, you are sitting on your body's best fat-fighting resource: Your rump's gluteus muscles and upper legs are the two major body parts that incorporate the largest muscle groups on the human skeleton. These large muscle masses respond rapidly and well to weight-training: If you feel you haven't been making significant muscular development gains lately, re-focusing on leg training hard and heavy can deliver rapid, visible results.

For the most rapid gains in lean MuscleBear mass, you can’t avoid heavy leg training. The ability for muscular growth and transformations that leg training offers a muscular Bear’s whole body is simply too good to pass up. One doesn't need expensive gym equipment to pack on significant leg muscle. You can get thick, beefy legs with affordable muscle building equipment like kettlebells, dumbbells or performing bodyweight exercises. The exercise focus should be on doing squats, leg presses, dead-lifts and lunges until your legs feel like rubbery noodles.

Get thick calves with some very, VERY high rep Calf Raises. Do both standing and bent-over straddle raises - the latter get more hamstring involvement. Constantly mix-up and vary your Calf Raise with everted and inverted foot positions to target development of the inner and outer edges of the gastrocnemius muscles. Our Bear bod’s calves are used to toting around out bodyweight day in an out, so you really have to torture your calves above and beyond the normal to get them to respond and grow.

A simple, biweekly training regimen is to split your legs into front and rear. One day, train the muscle in front of your legs, then alternately train the muscle on the back side of your legs and calves. If you are looking for a well-defined, beefy, muscular backside, perfect your lunge movements. The bulk of your exercises should be classic, free-standing Powerlifting type moves with a barbell. However, Lying Leg Curl, Seated Leg Extension and Hack Squat machines should be part of the mix too. Try this leg training combo for 6 to 8 weeks then mix your routine. Any number of top-selling bodybuilding books can assist in becoming familiar with the proper way to perform the core leg exercises and familiarize you with the big muscles involved.

Palm Springs International Bear Convergence 2014

BeefPieBear — 2013-04-18T21:32:12-07:00

The first ever IBC - International Bear Convergence in Palm Springs California is slated for Valentine / President Day weekend in 2014. Specifically that means Thursday, February 14th through Monday the 17th. Daily pool parties, nightly dance parties with renowned DJ’s from around the globe and more are planned.

The host hotel for IBC - The Renaissance Palm Springs is a 400+ room behemoth ideal for large gatherings and in it’s spectacular courtyard there’s a huge 5000 square foot heated pool promising the largest batch of Bear Soup ever created on planet earth. Of course as a public, mixed accommodation, swim suits will NOT be optional and reasonably civilized Bear behavior will be required.

Sadly, none of the Gay resorts in the Coachella Valley have anywhere near the rooms or scale to handle the turnout IBC is expected to draw. The location of the Renaissance at 888 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way however is perfect: Centrally located and just a few easy to walk blocks from the heart of downtown Palm Springs and the Gay Arenas strip of bars, restaurants and shops catering to our Out and Proud LGBT community.

For Bears with thin wallets, the $180+/night rates to stay at the International Bear Convergence host hotel might seem a bit stiff. However, you’ll be close to the action and far more likely to make connections by staying on-site. Locals like me who want to attend IBC 2014’s happenings can arm themselves by pre-ordering a $70 weekend event pass to get into the IBC event pool parties and dances. Other visitors might be seeking more affordable accommodations elsewhere. Of the Gay, clothing-optional resorts in Palm Spring’s centrally located Warm Sands neighborhood, I’d personally recommend either Vista Grande or especially All Worlds Resort for a diverse crowd and best facilities (4 pools, 2 spas, and steamy steamroom) more in the $120 a night range. Leather types might prefer Chaps Inn, or more Generic Bears might consider the recently opened Bearfoot Inn - both on the north-end of downtown Palm Springs.

For even more affordable accommodations, some of the cheaper 2nd and 3rd tier hotels and motels in Palm Springs can be found south of Downtown around the curve of South and East Palm Canyon drive. There, you’re more likely to find budget rooms in the $60-90 a night range. Remember, February is peak of tourist season in the Desert Cities so rates overall will be higher than summer or fall.

What to wear, Bear? Sunny days in the 70’s are what draw thousands to Palm Springs during the winter months. But February nights do get a bit chilly so think dressing in light layers after the sun sets. Poolside, you know I prefer Spandex-Clad Speedo Muscle Bears whenever possible and I’m hoping 2014’s International Bear Convergence brings the largest gathering of SpeedoBears ever before seen in the United States.

Gay Steroids - HRT Bodybuilding - Muscle Bear Bearoids

BeefPieBear — 2013-04-07T23:18:20-07:00

Anabolic steroid use in Gay men is on the rise - but it’s also happening in the broader culture as well. I’m surprised by what I’m seeing on TV. Dad comes home tired from work and a steady barrage of testosterone gel commercials on the nightly television news promise men a renewed lease on their energy levels and sex life. Add by gawd, it works. For many of our brothers in the Gay community, testosterone supplementation has helped stave off the ravages that living with HIV long-term can do to your body.

HRT - Hormone Replacement Therapy for aging men is on a massive upswing. On many levels it’s simply a multi-billion dollar commercial steroid market that pharmaceutical companies are eager to legitimize and grow into a major profit center. And like far too many aspects of America’s pharma solution culture, we’re eager for more magic pills, gels and injections to solve any of our life issues and ease our pains - real or imagined.

As an aging Gay man who recently turned fifty-five, I went on testosterone replacement therapy with quite a bit of trepidation. My greatest fear was once I started TRT - Testosterone Replacement Therapy - what would life be like when I stopped taking the primary anabolic steroid that gives us energy, stamina, lean muscle mass and sexual drive? Without testosterone supplementation, would I turn back into my regular self and find that intolerable? Natural bodybuilding has it’s merits. The muscle gains and definition you get are the sum total of your weight-lifting efforts, training refinements, dietary choices and rest and recuperation cycles. Add synthetic testosterone to that - and it really does amplify and transform a routine gym routine into something that makes your muscles respond, body composition change, and delivers more visible results at an accelerated pace.

I’m not going to dive into the growth hormone and steroid abuse scene that I’m sure far to many athletes, bodybuilders and Gay Muscle Bears likely pursue. Whether it’s peckers or muskles, Bigger Is Supposedly Better and some will do, buy, inject, or swallow whatever it takes to get that -- to become the biggest, baddest Alpha-Male Bearoid of the bunch. There’s certainly no shortage of info on the net about all the steroids, dietary supplements, ergogenics, thermogenics, diuretics, et. al. to supposedly build, then strip your flabby Bear body into a chiseled slab of a beefy, muscular sex machine that everybody will want.

For the more sensible Muscle Bear wanna-be’s who’s testosterone levels are on the decline: Start by educating yourself with a decent book or three on TRT - Testosterone Replacement and other anti-aging options for men. A few good book titles I’d recommend are Testosterone : A Man's Guide and also Testosterone for Life: Recharge Your Vitality, Sex Drive, Muscle Mass, and Overall Health for starters. Then find yourself a decent Doctor of Endocrinology who specializes exclusively on assessing and treating the hormonal changes that men can experience as they age.

Ecto Endo Meso - Buff Bear Bubba Bear Burly Bear Body Types

BeefPieBear — 2013-03-16T00:57:22-07:00

Muscle Bear Somatotypes

The three primary forms of a Bear's body somatotype are Mesomorph, Ectomorph and Endomorph. William Herbert Sheldon was an American psychologist who's theories revolved around basic human body types. Sheldon proposed that the human physique be classified according to three fundamental elements, somatotypes, named after the three germ layers of embryonic development: The endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm.

For Muscle Bears, each somatotype comes with both positive and not-so-positive traits. By focusing on your own somatotype's propensities, you can minimize the negatives and build the best Muscle Bear body nature will allow. There are some Bears who are purely mesomorphs, ectomorphs, endomorphs, and have little or no characteristics of the other body types. But more commonly, real-world Bears fall into mixed categories, such as endo-mesomorphs or ecto-mesomorphs. Assessing where you fit into the mix can help determine your optimal diet, cardio routine, and weight training style. By tailoring your diet and workouts to which of the three primary body styles you inherited, you can plan a fitness routine that makes the most of what you’ve got.

Mesomorph Body Type - Burly Bears

A Mesomorph Bear body can be recognized by its often stout and naturally muscular appearance. Wide square hips and a broad chest define your classic Muscle Bear bodybuilder. The Meso body is notable in its ability to easily build defined muscle. So you'll find plenty of examples of Meso-style bodies at the gym and on Muscle Beach. If you're a Mesomorphic Bear, it's best to follow nature's lead and build as much muscle as you can. Their naturally lean muscle mass give shapes and tone to the appearance of the body. While Mesomorp’s don't have problems rapidly adding and sculpting muscle, they often carry extra fat. To burn it, it's important that cardio training be as focused as the muscle building portion. Meso's will likely prefer lifting weights to running on a treadmill, but a balanced workout routine will deliver better results overall.

Ectomorph Body Type - Buff Bears

The Ectomorph Bear body is typically tall and naturally lean with longer, slender bones and proportionately slim muscle bundles. Most don't carry much extra fat until later in life where it's likely to pile up only around the midsection. Ectomorphs will have the most difficulty gaining significant muscle mass, but their leanness does reveal cut, separation and striation of muscle easily. The best workout routine for Ecto body types focuses far more on strength training than cardio. In fact, cardio routines should be done primarily for the endurance and health benefits, rather than for weight loss. Note that because of their thinner bone structure, Ectomorphic Bears are more susceptible to injury. Longer leg and arm bone lengths alter the leverage ratios of some exercises, particularly squats and flyes. So strength training with moderate weights while focusing on the absolute largest muscle groups in the body helps deliver visible results quicker. Expect the more buffed, toned appearance that building additional muscle can provide near-term, and a long, hard commitment over many years to add truly significant mass.

Endomorph Body Type - Bubba Bears

The Endomorph Bear body is characterized by softer curves head to toe and high body fat. Endos usually carry a higher percentage of muscle than Ectos or Mesos and are naturally strong, but it's often buried under a great deal of fat. An Endomorph is likely to excel as a Bear powerlifter, but may struggle with one diet after another in any effort to get cut and reveal their muscle definition. Although building muscle mass can come rapidly to an Endo, fat loss is a constant challenge. You have to ‘eat big to grow big’, and unfortunately, Big Bubba Bears get that way from over-eating. The Endomorphic workout plan should incorporate significant weekly workout time to cardio, and devote the remaining days to very heavy free-weight power lifting and core H.I.T. basic strength training moves. High-rep isolation exercises done on machines might be good for warm-ups, but aren't likely to yield visible striation or muscle definition.

Speedo Bear Fashion : Bulge-A-Licious Swimwear!

BeefPieBear — 2013-03-13T13:01:52-07:00

What’s not to love about a big hairy Bear man in a tiny Speedo? Apparently the lust for SpeedoBears is a growing and trending phenomenon that shows no signs of abating. Speedo Bear sightings are on the rise this time of year as winter gives way to summer and SpeedoBear fashion becomes all the rage.

Here in Palm Springs, Gay Bears and Muscle Bears in Speedos are a common sight all year round where heated swimming pools and clothing-optional Gay resorts are easily encountered. An endless assortment of hairy men in Speedo Spandex can be savored 24x7, 365 days a year. And that’s why I live here. Generally, I’m not a brand-conscious Bear, but dangit - when it comes to Gay Bear swimwear - every guy OUGHT to have at least one tight Speedo-something for their water-sporting activities.

Speedo Bears In Briefs

BeefPieBear’s personal favorite, Hairy Bears in skimpy SPEEDO BRIEF and bikini styles is always preferred. Surprisingly, the company makes quite a range of cuts and styles for the Bare-It-All Muscle Bear in a Speedo crowd. The ‘rise’ of the side panel at the hip can vary from a scandalously slim 1” rise as in the Solar Speedo model, 3” in the Classic Endurance/Sport swimming brief. For big boned Bears with a lot of Junk-In-The-Trunk, you can pack all that rump into as much as a 5” rise in the rather mid-century modern style high-waisted Speedo brief that brings back vintage memories of retro 1960’s spy film beach chases, or Lloyd Bridges in the TV show ’Sea Hunt’.

Speedo Bears In Trunks

For somewhat more conservative Speedo Bears, SPEEDO TRUNK style cuts are available with short to middling inseam lengths cut square across the thighs. I rather like that sort of look on some SpeedoBears. It gives a sort of geometric angularity to frame the Speedo Spandex while it accentuates the curvature of hairy thighs and furry upper body.

Speedo Bears In Jammers

For the truly ‘Thigh Shy’ Bear man, SPEEDO JAMMER style swimwear appeals to the Bear who’s a bit modest about showing off their Thunder-Thighs. They may also appeal to exceptionally well-hung Bears who need all that extra inseam length on their Speedo to properly pack their package and not have anything inadvertently poking it’s head out at innocent bystanders.

Are You Into Speedo Bear Fashion?

Are you big, beefy, hairy or brazen enough to show your stuff in a Speedo? Some guys aren’t. For those who are, explore a more extensive evaluation of the cuts, fits, colors and styles for your particular Spandex Bear swimwear needs. You can visit the Speedo USA website and do additional research on the growing and bulging cult of Bear HAIRY MEN IN SPEEDOS and perhaps by doing a quick search for them at Tumblr.

KettleBell Bear - Basic KettleBell Exercises

BeefPieBear — 2013-03-12T00:45:18-07:00

Recently our decidedly fabulous World Gym in Palm Springs got a set of classic, round cast-iron kettlebells and a rack that I’ve been dying to try out. Not too many other guys at the gym, let alone any of the A-List Muscle Bears seem too interested in becoming Kettlebell Bears - which is unfortunate. It’s also unfortunate that it’s only a single rack of 9 kettlebells of varying weights from 10-50 pounds. Some of the best kettlebell exercises require a matched pair of equally weighted bells for each hand.

The benefits of kettlebell training are well known: All the moves are compound exercises that affect multiple body parts. As with free weight training with dumbbells, supporting muscle groups are called into place to stabilize the movements. Kettlebell exercises also are great for cardiovascular endurance.

I’ve been researching the most popular and basic kettlebell exercises and watching some of the best videos of kettlebell routines. There’s a lot for a novice to learn, practice, and get down cold before attempting some of the more advanced kettlebell workout moves. I’ve also been considering getting a kettlebell or two for home workouts. In particular, coated kettlebells that protect hard floor surfaces, and are contoured like the one featured below. That can spare your forearms from getting bunged-up as you perform movements that involve overhand flip movements overhead or at the chest.

The 5 Basic Kettlebell Routines I’m working on:
Kettlebell Swing, Kettlebell Clean and Press, Kettlebell Snatch, Kettlebell Deadlift, Kettlebell Front Squats

Coated and Contoured Kettlebell

With Bob Harper Training DVD

Lastly, from my limited trial workouts, it’s really, really smart to have good gonad and scrotum support while performing the kettlebell circuit. I highly recommend a snug, well fitting jockstrap, such as any of the Nasty Pig Jock Straps to keep your balls intact through the rather ballistic, pelvic thrust movements that are the mainstay of kettlebell training routines.

Best Bodybuilding Books For Muscle Bears

BeefPieBear — 2013-03-07T22:50:50-08:00

Any Muscle Bear worth his weight knows that you have to equally build your brain to get your brawn. Even the most dedicated gym rat Bears using only their instincts will eventually hit plateaus in muscle gains or waste hours and hours of their life with relentless, sub-optimal weight-training techniques.

I’ve had the cheap luxury of a great second-hand store in the neighborhood with an extensive collection of used health books that has allowed me snag dozens and dozens of fitness, exercise, nutritional guidance, weight training and some of the best bodybuilding books for only a buck or two apiece over the years. I kept the best, donated the rest, and learned a lot of things a Muscle Bear needs for a lifetime of knowledge they can apply at the gym every day.

If I was stranded on a deserted island with only 3 of the best books for bodybuilding it’d be an easy choice:

1.
Detailed Muscle Illustrations

Frederic Delavier

2.
Bodybuilding Encyclopedia

Arnold Schwarzenegger

3.
Bodybuilding A-Z Reference

Lucas Parker - The CrossFit Speedo Bear Cub

BeefPieBear — 2012-09-23T22:29:06-07:00

Seriously, I’m not one for fawning over celebrities or athletes like some do. Our pop media and multi-million dollar sports culture loves to create Icons and Hero’s fur us to worship. They’re just modern day gladiators that far to many of us sit at The Coliseum Of The Couch and guzzle beer and munch chips - watching TV sports in passive obesity while our hero does all the heavy work - and symbolizes the fittest of our tribe. That said, I do appreciate a Bear In A Speedo as much as the next perv. Especially little Stub-Cubs like Lucas Parker -- that 5’ 7” twenty-something little furball of feisty fitness in Canada’s West Crossfit games division.

That boy does it all: Run, jump, lug, lift, toss, tumble, swim, bike, flip, flop, haul,hoist, hang, pull, tug -- You name it, Lucas Parker does it. He did well in 2012’s Rebok CrossFit standings. Not bad for a ‘lil hairy-backed young’un of a lug-nut… Can’t wait to see how this little MuscleBear performs in the 2013 cross-fit season.

Kick-My-Butt Kickboxing : BeefPie Does Fitness SF Castro

BeefPieBear — 2012-06-10T21:05:47-07:00

Poor BeefPieBear! Take an aging 55 year old overweight Bear, fire up some 130 Beats-Per-Minute thumping music, and put him in the hands of a championship Mixed Martial Artist instructor and watch him start sweating like a pig in 10 minutes or less. Equipped with hand towel, bath towel and a spare tank T-shirt, it doesn't help. Everything, EVERYTHING ends up drenched in sweat before the hours over. This is Satan's way of telling me I need to quit smoking, eat less, eliminate caffeine and sodium from my diet - amongst other things.

Enter the world of Paul Hoyos who offers Cardio Kickboxing classes at both Fitness SF Gym SOMA (South of Market area downtown) and up at the Market Street Fitness SF in the Castro San Francisco. It goes something like this:

"Jab, jab, hook! Jab, jab, hook! Upper cut, upper cut, left hook, right hook! Knee up, duck down, back kick, front kick, regroup!"

Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

Who knew there was such a Punch-You-In-The-Face-Mutha-Fukkah! MONSTER lurking inside the otherwise Gentle Bear I tend to be?!? In spite of my numb, bum leg and possessing the limited kicking range of a stubby-legged CORGI DOG -- I give it my all. And so does everybody else in class. About 30 minutes into the hour, even the mildest mannered of us turn into aggressive 'BRING IT BEE-OTCH!' combatants facing themselves in the classroom mirror. And all the latent life-hostility we harbor finds release through fitness.

Ah, but all good things must come to an end. Just as I'm really getting into that whole Full Frontal Assault groove, I'll be heading back to Palm Springs for decidedly tamer fitness classes next week. It's been a blast hanging out in The Castro for a month and then some. Next trip to SF - I'll definitely plan it around HIS classes.

Bearracuda Weekend Palm Springs : Speedo Bear Alert

BeefPieBear — 2012-01-12T16:40:54-08:00

Weather's looking to be nice for Bear-A-Cuda, Bearacuda, Bearracuda Palm Springs bear event. Sunny and 70-ish at least during the day when the skies are blue. But enuff to turn your nipples hard and blue late at night so do bring your mittens and bun-warmers if you're one to roam around hunting Bear meat in the evening.

Saturday and Sunday January 14 & 15 there'll be SF DJ's cranking the music poolside at CCBC Resort in Cathedral City. Noon to 3-ish is the best time to catch some rays and sun the buns. Featured DJ's will be the deliciously red-whisker flavored Bear - Rotten Robbie as well as Matt Consola and Brian Maier from Noon till 8pm Sat/Sun.

Shaking your booty totally naked (preferred) or packed into a slinky mens Speedo (optional). If you have a total Bear fashion CRISIS beforehand, a quick trip to GayMart or BearWear Palm Springs will let you find ridiculously tiny, sleazy-easy swimsuits to suit your mood.

For those coming to Palm Springs for this weekend a good bet is Bear Happy Hour at Hunters Bar Friday evening from 5-ish to 7-ish. Afterwards, head across the street to Cafe Palette' and ask for my red-whiskered Bear buddy 'Roxxy' to serve you up a slice and a salad with a margerita, tell him 'BeefPieBear' sent you - and tip heavily - he needs the dough.

The ToolShed or Barracks after 10pm Fri or Sat are ideal for Bear bar hopping.

Bearracuda Circuit is scheduled across a host of cities across the US thru Jan-March, then across the ponds to Sydney for a wrap-up.

Biggest Loser Bears 2012 - New TV Season

BeefPieBear — 2012-01-06T08:36:56-08:00

I'm not a fan of TV in general - or celebrity icon worship that television inspires. But I do like Reality TV that's REAL - and that's why I'm hooked on NBC's Biggest Loser. Whether you're fit or fat - there's so much to learn season after season of what it takes to get control of your life, and how the delightful torture of being tortured at the gym and schlepping weights around really is the linch-pin in a battle of life or death.

There's always a hot Bearish man - or four - each season on NBC's Biggest Loser worth rooting for. In the 2012 season: The furry, fuzzy Santa Bear with his great white beard and wooly pelt is the one to watch. At 62, you can still tell there's a barrel-chested TANK of a man behind the beard and under the carpet that I hope survives the UN-reality of Reality TV and can last through the challenges, politics, games and competitiveness that the show's premise of elimination necessitates.

What moves me most about Biggest Loser is the JOY I feel watching these dying, obese men and women utterly TRANSFORM themselves. When you're 100-200 pounds overweight, there IS something horribly broken inside which can get 'fixed' in the time spent working out at the gym. You really are carrying the weight of a DEAD PERSON on your back 24x7. That dead person is half of YOU, and it's the half that is killing you. So Big Belly up to the barbell Gainers and Fat Boys, and re-think what you're shoving into your pie-hole. An early grave ain't a sexy or glamorous life destination to end up in.

New Years Resolutions for Gay Bear Men - MuscleBear Version

BeefPieBear — 2011-12-25T18:59:01-08:00

The new year is always a great time to reevaluate What The Hell You Are Doings- And Why Are You Doing It? If you are a Muscle Bear or a MuscleBear Wanna-Be, it's a good time to look at the past year and what did and didn't work in both your daily life - and at the gym. And a chance to get it right-er. Do it smart-er. Get it better-er.

In athletic endeavours it's smart to have, and set goals. Even if you aren't big on New Year's Resolutions, you can put a few things forefront in your Bear brain to help keep you on track. That said, some things to target in the year ahead:

1. Get Laid More Often: It relieves stress, stimulates natural hormone production and can help target underdeveloped muscles that you certainly aren't likely to reach at the gym.

2. Set Near-Term Goals: When clearly identified within a narrow, specific time-frame - you're much more likely to achieve changes you want in your life than those with a distant horizon. Think hours and weeks, not months and years. Start every workout with a clear goal in mind, be aware of it every minute, and don't lose focus until your time-limit or sets are done.

3. Push Your Boundaries: We all have our 'Comfort Zones' we tend to stay in - Have a buddy at the gym help you get past yours, or hire a Personal Trainer to impose an extra degree of discipline to take your further, faster.

4. Clean Up Your Act: That means your refrigerator and cupboards. We all have starchy, salty, greasy things in our kitchens that our bodies would be better without. If it isn't Clean - Lean - Whole - Fresh -- toss it and shop for better alternatives.

5. Leave Your Vanity At The Mirror: Even if you already are an Alpha Male Bear-Stud Muscle Stallion - The true measure of a man doesn't live in a measuring tape, and can't be seen in the reflection. True health and wellness is a balance of Mind, Body, and Spirit. Without real balance in all three, you're just a two-legged table waiting for a fall…

Tips For SpeedoBears : Laundering and Caring For Your Speedo

BeefPieBear — 2011-12-18T00:26:48-08:00

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And when you see this one you're probably asking yourself:

"How should I care for my men's Speedo Brief after a swim in chlorinated or salt-water?
How can I get the maximum life from my Speedo and prevent the elastic fabric from sagging or decaying prematurely?
Should I, as a bald and hairy Bear man, allow slow damage to my Speedo swim wear by leaving them on…?
Or, should I remove them promptly as I emerge from the water at the pool or beach and allow them to air dry quickly?
Should I photograph & document my Speedo care process in the event of a dispute over the swimming brief's warranty?
Should I ask other hairy Bear men to strip off their Speedos so that I can wash several at the same time?

And lastly:
"Will that Bear love and care for me the same way he obviously loves and cares for his Speedo?"

As a proud, Gay Speedo Bear and owner of MANY Speedo swim briefs -- I can tell you they DO wear out. Ocean salt water and pool chlorine DO take their toll on the lycra spandex fabric. Being seen publicly in a trashed-out, saggy butt-fabric worn-out, poorly cared for Speedo is embarrassing. One SHOULD rinse them with fresh water as soon as possible - and allow them to air-dry 'AU NATURAL' as demonstrated in the above SpeedoBear picture.

Branch Warren Trains Insane - Muscle Bear Madness

BeefPieBear — 2011-12-15T22:46:57-08:00

Albert Einstein defined Insanity as "Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results." Ah, but that IS the nature of weight-training, isn't it?

Clearly as a very Physical Scientist specializing in exploring Gravity, Mass, Inertia and Time -- Albert didn't spend nearly enough time at the gym doing heavy-duty squats, shrugs and presses sweating and grunting like a pig in a jockstrap - or he'd have come up with a somewhat very different, memorable quote. Especially if he'd had the opportunity to watch Branch Warren work out.

Ya have to wonder what's going on in that big, lumpy noodle of his as Branch cranks through is own gravity, mass, inertia and time continuum. You can bet there's some serious-ass internal dialog going on in there - only some of which escapes his lips for some memorable 'Fuckyeah!' quotes of his own. Check out more of Branch Warren - Train Insane segments 1-10 on YouTube and marvel at this little Muscle Moose in action.

Big Muscle SEO - Strong Arm Wrestling Tactics Pack Muscle

BeefPieBear — 2011-12-13T23:55:50-08:00

If you're even reading this, you've already been strong-armed, wrassled down and pinned to the mat by one heavy-duty SEO Top Bear Dad. Now lick it! Cuz that's what I do for a living: I force dirty, hungry bad-boys searching the net for big ol' hairy Bear men things into submission and drag 'em into my dungeon to do with ya what I will. What I lack in Brawn - I make up for in Brains. Big Beefy Brains that need a daily workout.

When I'm not at Golds or World Gym humping my butt, swimming, trying to eat a clean-er diet, and getting enough rest -- I'm in a head-on full-body assault with The Big G - Mr. Google. I spend hours body-slamming websites down his throat and makin' him eat keywords like he was my spunk suckin' Boy! (Well, truth to admit - sometime he spits up what I'm feeding him - and I gotta bark 'SWALLOW IT!' to git him to choke it all down. My little Bing-Bearcub and Yahoo-Hole -- well, they're a lot easier to train…)

Why do I mention all that? Well, rather than go all Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing Geek-Psycho on your furry butt -- I'll tell you this: My time spent at the gym is how I COPE with all this Power Blogging and Internet Instigator - Dominator krap. I lift weights to grind out my frustrations. I crank cardio to have the physical endurance push thru it all the geeky tech stuff, swim laps ala Speedo Bear to wash the nerd dirt outta my brain cells. So I have the stamina and strength to carry on. Big Muscling your way to the top of Google ranks ain't for sissy boys. It's an Olympic feat - and I train hard to do it.

Holiday and Any-Day Gifts For Gay Men : Muscle Bear Version

BeefPieBear — 2011-12-14T23:26:00-08:00

What if Mr. Claus came all year 'round -- And under that red Santa suit - there was a Beefy, Burly, Bodybuilding Grizz Daddy Top in a wrestling singlet strong-arming you and pinning you down to nail your tail asking: 'And what do YOU want for Christmas, little boy? Huh?!?' Well you'd better have an answer. Here's some gift suggestions for Gay men with muscle ready to fight back:

Muscle Boys - Gay Gym Culture - If there's some brains behind the Bear brawn, some depth beneath the Muscle Bear - This is a great read for grokking Gay Physical Culture that we all get drug into whether we realize it, want to, or not - In and out of the gym.

Men's Grooming Kit - A beefy selection of Paw 'N' Jaw, Hack 'N' Whack shaving and grooming tools for men - all in a zippered travel kit.

Grizzly Paws Lifting Gloves - Grizzly makes a line of fitness gear for Power Lifters and Beefy Boyz. Perfect for slaves to bear-branded Brand Fashion.

Gorilla Suit - Gay bodybuilder Bob Paris writes his long road to winning Mr. Olympia in the 80's and Coming Out afterwards - in a rather Straight business of fit chicks with boobs clinging to biceps. 30 years later - it's STILL a great read for any Gay weight-lifter or body-building Bear wanna-be.

Muscular Development - Save yourself some big Bear Bucks subscribing to Muscular Development magazine. The newsstand price is staggering, especially considering how many Supplement Ads you gotta wade thru to get to the actual articles. I'm just saying if you were stranded on a desert island with a #270 Body Building Bear - this would be THE BEEF-UP MAG he'd subscribe to, NOT Men's Fitness.

Bear On Wheels - Roller Daddy

BeefPieBear — 2011-08-15T20:26:03-07:00

70's FLASHBACK - Ding's roller rink in the 4-H building at the County Fair Grounds. The Soundrack: The Osmonds, Bobby Sherman, and The Jackson 5. The Objective: Stay Upright! The Fear: Having to find a GURL to do the romantic "Twighlight Skate" with the lights dimmed down -- when all ya really wanted to do was hold hands with a hairy-pawed guy while the Osmond's 'Sweet & Innocent' played over the loudspeakers:

HERE: My Secret Crush, Mutt. If it is possible to fall in LURVE over YouTube: Help! I've fallen and I can't get up -- unless this man reaches down his hairy paw and gets me back on all 8 wheels again:

80's FLASHBACK - Rhythm-Land roller rink, North Minneapolis. GAMMA Gay Athletic Club sponsored rink nights. The Soundtrack: David, the Hip-Kweer D.J. who guided us safely out of 70's Disco into 80's Dance Pop. The Objective: Avoid that f*cked-up part of the rink floor - right at the curve that EVERY indoor rink seems to have. The Fear: That Beautiful, Black Bearded Ken wouldn't stick out that big hairy paw and ask me UP for the Twighlight Skate when they dimmed the lights and played sappy songs. But he did. And we skated together. And then he took me home and screwed my brains out. Ahhh, fond memories...

FAST FORWARD: I want to re-live my misspent youth. That does it, I'm gonna order some Quad Skates and get my roller MOJO back! And then I'm gonna hunt Mr. Mutt down and have that Daddy-Bear Dream-Skate I seem to need in the 21st Century.

Wrestling Bears - In Speedos - Gauna Bear Art

BeefPieBear — 2011-05-12T15:18:17-07:00

BEARS IN SPEEDOS - They're not just for swimming anymore.

Here, artist and illustrator GaunaBe@rt from Buenos Aires Argentina shows how a colorful assortment of men's Speedo briefs can be used by nearly nekkid hairy wrasslin' men just before a Body-Slam or performing a 'Who's Your Hairy Daddy - Huh Boy?' Full-Nelson.

Check out his other worksby Gauna Bear Art at his Blogger or FaceBook page for other samples of his Speedo Bear, MENS WRESTLING SINGLET and classic RUGBY BEAR WEAR illustrations. Great stuff!

Why Its Hard To Build Muscle - Lose Fat - Look Great

BeefPieBear — 2010-11-21T19:26:33-08:00

The nice thing about READING ABOUT EXERCISING is that you can sit on your duff and munch potato chips while you do it. No groans, no moans, no pain, no gain. Well, at least while you're reading about getting fit and fabulous. And that's okay because: 1. You can't exercise 24 hours a day anyways. 2. Excelling at something implies learning and building your body of knowlege about it FIRST, then practicing it second. 3. Your brain needs to be set in motion before your body can actually do it.

Lately, I've been sitting on my duff reading Build Muscle Lose Fat Look Great: Everything You Need to Know to Transform Your Body - by Stuart McRobert. It really is a standout book on weight training TECHNIQUE. Few others have No-No pictures that show improper form, that go into detail about improper grip, and have a particular emphasis on What NOT To Do -- that all other's seem to mention only in passing.

All these wrongs - frequently pointed out through the book - teach you more about why your own workouts haven't yielded the results you believe you should have gotten. And it can help to make you more critically aware of everything you do at the gym - and perhaps how you haven't been doing it.

Whos UR Daddy? : GymBoss - Best Interval Trainer

BeefPieBear — 2010-10-30T18:41:38-07:00

Maybe you need to be BOSSED AROUND: Told what to do, when to do it, how long to do it, Huh boy? Maybe you really do need to be trained -- Steady and regular, over and over, hard and fast -- till you get it right.

GymBoss Interval Timer

Imposing Discipline You Lack

Well, who needs a burly, well-built stallion barking orders at your sorry, lame, pansy-ass like a tough Marine Drill Sargeant with a cigar stuffed in his muzzle and a dirty, rough-treaded leather boot pinning you down -- when you can be gently coaxed into doing it digitally with all the sheer force and brute dominating power it's batteries can muster. Now DROP AND GIVE ME TWO!... minutes of whatever you can muster. And then another two, if you're man enough. Rinse, Lather, Repeat yourself into a grueling sweat - with a GymBoss.

Miracle Fitness Muscle Suppliment Revealed!

BeefPieBear — 2009-09-21T18:52:45-07:00

Walk into any GNC - General Nutrition Center - and you'll feel like you've been had. There's nothing 'GENERAL' about it. It's about SPECIFIC nutritional 'needs' your brain thinks you have cuz you've read waaaaaaay too many Muscle and BodyBuilding Mags - when all your body really needs is a decent well-balanced diet - and a decent equally balanced multi-vitamin and mineral suppliment.

When the BeefPie is more interested in Beef than Pie -- I simply have a 3x5 index card in my cupboard that says 'Take Your Vitamins'. Which simply means a dirt-cheap bottle of Costco's house-brand 500 count Kirkland Signature Daily Multivitamin and Mineral With Lycopene, Lutein and More

Kirkland Signature Daily Multivitamin & Mineral

- 500 Tablets - $25 Shipped - a FULL YEAR supply

Imagine that: VITAMINS and MINERALS your body needs in ONE SINGLE MIRACLE TABLET that - when combined with exercise - will help you lose weight and pack on muscle! WOW! All for a mere 7 cents a day.

Why Kirkland? Why Amazon.com? Cuz it's like all the fun of NOT finding a parking spot, NOT banging shopping-carts with old people who live in RV's. NOT having to pay for or show a card to prove your exclusive Costco membership.

Have you ever been STRONG ARMED? Like in arm-wrasslin' where the guy tips you past center and puts on the pressure -- and you know you're being out-muscled -- but ya fight like all hell, ya fight back with all you got even if you know you're gonna lose.

Bear Hairy Men And Manscaping Tools

BeefPieBear — 2009-06-04T17:24:37-07:00

My Wahl T-Finisher is one of my favorite Best Tools For Manscaping Men And Their Hairy Body Parts. I try to be a prudent Bear about not over-hacking my furry bits excessively or unnecessarily. Lord knows there's nothing quite as dissapointing as going to the gym only to see your favorite MuscleBear has gone off the deep-end, over hacked his body fur, shaved his back, cut off his goatee and sideburns, denuded his big beefy arms... And you just have to tell yourself "I don't even want to know what he did DOWN THERE to his pubic area", which probably got overly Manscaped as well.. Personally, I try to keep my hair-trimming efforts ABOVE the neckline - and go lightly in the nether regions.

Oh, I know U GUYZ U really just want Pictures of Really Beefy Hot Hairy Guys - Although I am a bit of a connessieur and very professional about such things, there are 100,000+ other places on the net for those.

Summer: Open Season On Topless Hairy Guys

BeefPieBear — 2009-06-03T19:46:34-07:00

It's that time of year again: Summer. June 1st marks OPEN SEASON on big burly exposed man-flesh as temperatures rise and meaty muscle hits the beach with T-shirts off and whatnot.

It's the whatnot that I love to see: Thick, furry thighs (I'm a Leg-Man, myself) - toes barefoot in the sand for you Foot-Freaks out there. Wet wooly beard curling and sparking in the sun. Tight hairy abdominals with lint-filled navels there in a Speedo Brief in full public view at the beach, by the pool... Ah, summer!

Split-Routines Last-Chance Beef-Up Workout

BeefPieBear — 2009-03-29T08:39:30-07:00

BeefPieBear is heading back home to the backwoods soon - and in the final stretch before departure - is pushing his physiology to the MAX with a Split, Triatholon exercise routine that is either gonna tighten and tone, build and bulk in the next two weeks... Or... I'll end up a quivering blob from over-training.

I signed up for a short membership at Gold's Gym for my final days. Perhaps there's some Big Beefy Burly Massive Hairy Ginormous MuscleBears here in town that I've missed! And I do wanna see what I've been missing - Gold's has such a different mixed crowd and kharma than my usual set of BeefPies at World Gym. Oh, but it's more than just about men, Men, MEN!!! For anyone who's been exercising at all, you know how the routine of routine can numb you. Alternating or switching gyms is good for the mind AND body - and if you're single - maybe it can beef-up your romantic life too.

So here's to my last few weeks in California: I'm loving the way the different weight-machines shake-up, wake-up my body to do things just a little bit different, to call into play muscles that were slightly neglected. I'm doing Gold's in the morning. Swimming my laps in the apartment pool in the afternoons. Then, after carbs and a nap - it's back to World Gym to push my body that extra notch further where it needs to go. Time's running out. It'll be hard to be as active and fit back home. Last chance.

Commit To Fit! New Year's Resolutions

BeefPieBear — 2008-12-30T21:11:52-08:00

Do you take the time to re-evaluate your life each year? Do you use New Year's as a time to set Self-Improvement goals? Will you actually sit down and write a hit-list of what you want to accomplish? Will you redefine the kind of person you want to become in the year ahead - and the kind of things you want to leave behind?

It really does take more than a 'Thought', or a 'Notion'. Achievable GOALS, RESOLUTIONS, whatever you want to call 'em - are the sorts of things that need to be clearly stated, written down, thoughtfully evaluated and articulated. And then you can FULLY achieve them. I don't know about you - but I'm going to keep 'Turning into a Big, Giant, Massive BeefPie' - progressively, week after week, one thin muscle fiber at a time... :)

Gratuitous Hairy Bear In A Jockstrap Pic

Talk about BEAR BAIT... For the hundreds of guys who visit www.beefpiebear.com hoping for RAW, HAIRY FLESH GALORE - and who arrive terribly dissappointed and leave 3 seconds later...

Gym-Rat-Bear-Bunny's Beef-Up

BeefPieBear — 2008-12-08T23:24:55-08:00

I've been back in Southern California - and back at the gym for 53 days. One more week till I hit the miraculous "60 Day Beef-Up Make-Over Challenge" mark. (Which clearly took TWICE as long as a typical 30 day Beef-Up should...)

I made a PUBLIC admission on Twitter last week - and I'll fess-up to it here: "BeefPieBear concedes his revolutionary 10-MINUTE BEEF-UP FITNESS PLAN really only works if you do it like 6 to 12 times per day every day day after day..."

Well crap. So that's what I'm doing. For an hour or two a day -- to make the most of those 10 minutes - over and over again until the clock says I've spend AT LEAST an hour doing something for a workout.

BeefPie In Rehab: Enforcing The Rules

BeefPieBear — 2008-11-19T11:20:27-08:00

If you're keeping up with EYE ON BEEFPIE at YouTube -- B.P.'s 30-day stay at the Sunny Palms Dietary Detox and Physique Rehabilitational Correctional Facility has placed him under the care of it's Medical Director, Dr. Szadist. Dietary restrictions, colon cleansings, forced exercise, and gagged and bound rest-periods in restraints are doing wonders to correct the BeefPie's eating patterns, workouts, and daily exercise routine under his doctor's care.

Tom Bianchi Orders Beefpie OFF THE COUCH!

BeefPieBear — 2008-11-11T07:53:06-08:00

Nude Gay male muscle physique photographer and artist Tom Bianchi made his leather couch notorious in his sequence of “ON THE COUCH” photo books - which feature some of the most exquisitely sculpted massive slabs of MUSCULAR BEEFY NUMMINESS from around the country, and around the globe. Oh if THAT COUCH could talk -- well you’d have published the collection of books Tom has over the years, most recently with his ‘Lets-Push-The-Limits-Shall-We?’ series: “DEEP SEX”

Well, long story short: In REAL LIFE, BeefPieBear is also a MacGizmoGuy Bear - and I help Tom move his images, online journal and life forward by keeping his ‘pooters happy and humming. And look - It WAS kinda hot that day, so I took off my shirt... and REALLY I was kinda tired from all that technical support shit... So I thought I would just slightly, somewhat, just-a-wee-little-bit have a bit of a moment in half-naked thoughtful, relaxing repose... ON. THE. COUCH.

Even longer story shorter: I guess it was NEVER MEANT TO BE. As I cast my sultry gaze over towards Tom and his exquisite Nikon D-50 Digital SLR camera... He clapped his hands together and said “Well! Lets wrap up here QUICK! I need to be at the gym in 5 minutes, so let’s go.” End. Of. Story. I guess guys more fortunate - and certainly more muscular than me can be seen at: WWW.TOMBIANCHI.COM

DOMS : Delayed Onset Muscle-Bear Soreness

BeefPieBear — 2008-11-01T09:19:01-07:00

Well that didn’t take long: 14 days into BeefPie’s Back-In-California Fit-Camp Boot-Camp Rehab - B.P.’s physiology threw a tantrum. 10-minute swims morning noon and night, 10-minute each bike, elliptical, treadmill triathalon aerobic workouts, 1 hour “Coreture” (Core Torture) classes - oh and the odd moments of resuming weight-training all hit a crescendo of groaning and whining, leg cramps, and neurological jitters - all symptoms of Classic Over-Training. A day of uh, re-evaluation seems in order. I need salty, buttered noodles and a long, long nap.

30 Day Beef-Up 4 Palm Springs Gay Pride

BeefPieBear — 2008-10-02T16:06:16-07:00

OH CRAP!!! OK, I’ll be honest: BeefPieBear’s first 30-day round of Fabulous Fitness Workout-Routines using the 10 Minute Muscle-Miracle(tm) work-outs just didn’t quite totally, utterly, completely, transform me into a big, giant, massive slab of BEEFY MAN-I-MAL.

OH GAWD!!! PALM SPRINGS GAY PRIDE WEEKEND is EXACTLY 30-Days away and not only do I have to get GORGEOUS F.A.S.T. -- Schit, I have to get my act together AND pack up my cabin AND drive across country AND get to Palm Springs AND get an apartment AND....

Get. My. Ass. Back. To. The. Gym.

PS I Love You : Take Me Back, Please!

BeefPieBear — 2008-09-17T05:10:23-07:00

FIVE FRICKING MONTHS, PEOPLE! 5 months of Severe Beefy Homosexual Male Deprivation has gotten to BP! I love my forest and tiny cabin with all my soul. But for the love of gawd: I need to get Queered Up so bad I can almost taste it: I need to hear The Gay music again. To TAKE A SHOWER with multiple hairy, wet, sudsy Beefs. To shave more than once a month to look FABULOUS. To strut in a slinky black Speedo poolside with The Gays. To wear sunglasses and look cool. To rub the bare, exposed hairy bellies of hairy bellied men in Gay bars again - which is my Ultimate Destiny. For the love of Gawd people - I can’t take much more of this quiet, simple, clean, safe, sensible high-quality gentle communing with nature. I need The Palm Springs Gays. BAD.

PorkPieBear Overtakes BeefPieBear

BeefPieBear — 2008-09-10T19:51:45-07:00

HELP!!! BeefPieBear's workout routine and weight-loss strategy has gotten severely DERAILED! Bags of crunchy cheesy curls, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Kit-Kat bars, and cheese popcorn continuously plot, scheme and conspire to ATTACK BP while he innocently sits at his computer thinking about his next 10 minute workout strategy! I have the bags, wrappers and crumbs here to prove it! The only thing RIPPED are the open bags of chips. The only thing SHREDDED was the cheese on the nachos. HELP!!!

'Succumbing to weakness' is not something in BP's vocabulary - But clearly empty calories and salty, greasy carbohydrates threaten my BEEF-UP MAKEOVER CHALLENGE and my road to becoming Fabulously Gay again. I feel another YouTube Episode coming on -- one where I'm going to confront my PIE-HOLE issues publicly.

BeefPieBear Industries : Merger Mania!

BeefPieBear — 2008-08-29T08:16:28-07:00

In true WWF - World Wrestling Federation style - The BeefPieBear stripped down to his BRUTE WRESTING BRIEF - pulled them up snug - and is engaged in a Bear-Knuckled, Knock-Down, Drag-Out, In-Your-Face, Trash-Talk-The-Internet TAKE-DOWN! What this means for those of you who've known me over the centuries: At the dawn of the internet I was THE RustyBear until the internet caught on and there were too many of those Rusty ol' bears for my taste - and then I moved to my forest and became BackWoodsBear for a good many years until another guy wrecked that. So, I reincarnated again as MacBearPS and Doctor Mac when I moved to Palm Springs California. I went there to build a Fabulously Gay Bear Life - where I encountered - and was nearly knocked-out by THE WHITE DEATH. As I reincarnate as BeefPieBear and rise from the ashes: I'm somewhat worse for the wear, yet a Soft, Resilient, Bigger, Better, Tougher Picker-Upper -- hellbent on taking LIFE AFTER FIFTY to the next level. Everything I do, all my identities, websites, and ventures -- past and present are being merged into BeefPieBear Industries - A mega-conglomerate who's daily workout routine isn't just for Total World Domination, but GETTING BACK IN SHAPE to face the challenges ahead!

BodyBuilding.com - BodySpace

BeefPieBear — 2008-08-28T21:57:11-07:00

The folks at BodyBuilding.com have one hell of a mega-site of interest to anyone who works out - as well as a great set of Forums and Profiles. So I spent some time there today - STARTING OVER with a clean slate, starting a BeefPieBear profile and blog there. They’ve got some good tools to track your weight-training progress and weight-loss/gain, goal setting and benchmarking. It really is just a great website worth bookmarking and spending time at.

Drop And Give Me Ten... Minute Workouts

BeefPieBear — 2008-08-12T14:06:15-07:00

Who needs a tough, cigar-chewing Marine Drill-Sargeant barking orders at your pansy-ass? Well, we all do. But until we find one -- Set your SPORTS TIMER to 10 big-muscle minutes - and simply do ten-minutes of fitness maneouvers with hell-bent FOCUS. It doesn’t matter what: Stretch-It, Crunch-It, Walk-It, Lift-It, Pose-It! All it takes is 10 MINUTE FITNESS, several times a day.

BP's Fabulously Gay Workout Mix

BeefPieBear — 2008-08-08T18:35:50-07:00

A Fabulous Gay Bear Life demands a good background dance music soundtrack: Whether it’s during a workout, lounging in hairy naked muscular splendor, or when tuned-in to the tuned-out oblivious APPLE iPOD world. Check out my faves in the Amazon MP3 Widget for my top Tuff-Up, Buff-Up tunes. But I’ll warn you now - There’s gonna be some ”It’s BRITNEY, Bitch!” in the mix. But in the meantime I welcome YOUR #1 FAVE WORKOUT SONG SUGGESTIONS in the Comments below...

Hairy MuscleBear Butt JockStrap Challenge

BeefPieBear — 2008-08-08T10:42:58-07:00

“Used” and “Second-Hand” have very, very different meanings in the world of Gay men’s jockstraps. In this case, I got one second-hand today at a local rummage store run by sweet little old Lutheran Ladies. And this wasn’t just Some-Other-Guys old ordinary worn jockstrap we’re talking about, it was a ‘like new’ DUKE ATHLETIC SUPPORTER which simply has the finest pouch design of any of ‘em. So for Fifty Cents you KNOW I snapped it up immediately and dutifully paid 4 cents sales tax without quibbling - even tho it seemed a bit ‘Small’ for being a ‘Large’. Well, the problem is my hairy bear ass and belly are just a _little too big_ to muscle my way into - as I discovered when I got home and promply stripped down and started trying to do my tough-guy posing routine in it.

Take this JOCKSTRAP POLL at MisterPoll.com website - then return here after seeing the results - and do leave a comment! Why, did you know that - statistically speaking - the face, head and mouth are also popular places to ‘wear’ a jock?!

BeefPieBear’s Beef-Up! Makeover Challenge hinges on me losing at least 5 pounds THIS month, and 5 the next. So maybe, like those ultra-tight jeans of yours that used to give you great BULGE but don’t fit anymore - I think I found my motivation to get a GRIP on my pie-hole once and for all: To do whatever it takes in the weeks ahead to make that jockstrap FIT without it’s current sense of strangulation!

For you more traditional “It was good enough for my hairy, burly, thick-necked Coach in college” guys who’ve stayed with a predictable BIKE ATHLETIC SUPPORTER - let me tell you - THEIR POUCHES SUCK - unless you’ve got a 10” long-schlong which they seem to be designed for. But not Duke - They’re more into Thick & Wide Texas Hold-’Em style pouching and feature a deliciously puckered high-cotton blend ball bag that’s soft as Snuggles The Fabric Softener Bear on your goodies. No contest - and the Beefy Pie has known this for years - Duke got pouches right with Fit, Function and Fashion!

Shave it! Show it! Grow it!

Ok, in Season 2 of Eye On Beefpie - BP starts walking the talk and the Muscle Makeover Challenge begins! So in the first 3 episodes, BeefPieBear preps and SHAVES that gnarly muzzle of his, strips down to the bear essentials, and starts packing on the Meaty-Bones.

Tipping the BATHROOM SCALE at a buck-naked 6’ 220 pounds - BP realizes two things: He has too much fat - and not enough muscle. And that a BODY FAT TESTER would have some rather harsh realities to tell him, and that a BODY TAPE MEASURE would probably agree.

At this point, I’ll trade Five for Five and set a realistic goal: Trade 5 pounds (or more) of body-fat for 5 big burly beefy pound-your-head-in tough raw meaty muscle gain -- before I return to California.

BackWoods Beef-Up! Starts Aug 4th

BeefPieBear — 2008-07-31T22:19:59-07:00

My DROP-DEAD (gorgeous) start-date is Monday, August 4th. I have 3 days to write up a written fitness PLAN, review my goals, come to grips with SMOKING CESSATION, and rethink everything I eat and when.

I have a bare minimum of equipment here at my cabin: A 1-hour TIMER. Lifting GLOVES. A floor EXERCISE MAT, an #18 BODY BAR, 2 - #10 DUMBBELLS, an iPOD SHUFFLE - and - after buying and returning a mountain of 2nd-hand store fitness and body-building books - the only fitness book I ever needed: Bob Paris’ NATURAL FITNESS. (Used copies often for $5 or less from Amazon is a great read - for Old-Timers or First-Timers.)

I can’t say enough about Bob’s book. It really is THE definitive guide to assessing who you are and aren’t. Where you want to get to and how, what it will get you there - and won’t. I’ve scribbled in the side-bar on page after page front-to-back: I faced my own strengths and weaknesses, my obstacles and fears, my fitness sucesses and failures. Without an honest, hand-written assessment - You won’t know who you are, or what you can become.

Hairy Bear In Speedo Terrorizes Beach

BeefPieBear — 2008-07-28T19:43:57-07:00

Lake Superior was SPECTACULAR today! And so was I - clad in only a SLINKY BLACK SPEEDO BRIEF. The local good ol’ boys of Northern Wisconsin just don’t know what to make of me. They’re the sort of guys who normally wear cut-off jean shorts AND keep thier T-shirts on when they swim... Modest Bubba’s they are, doncha know.

Name That BeefPie! Terms Of Endearment

BeefPieBear — 2008-07-27T21:48:34-07:00

What do YOU call YOUR favorite BeefPies? Naming BeefPies at the gym isn’t easy. If they don’t even know you’re alive, or offer a long soulful gaze into your eyes as they introduce themselves -- Sometimes you just have to come up with a name for them yourself. I find BeefPie analysis looking out over the gym floor during aerobics gives me the observation-deck I need to really ASSIGN proper names. Some you can nail on first sight! Others... Not so easy as their True Essence may only be revealed after many workouts - and only then can you really give the RIGHT NAME to them.

For example, I’d suspected, but didn’t TRULY know that ‘Fluffy’ would ultimately be named FUZZBUTT until an opportune moment in the locker room weeks later confirmed my suspicions. Likewise, I thought ‘Sarge’ was nicked pretty spot-on at first. One day tho, instead of his usual long Camo pants - his really short-shorts during a leg-workout set me, uh, straight. He became HAM-HOCK ever-after.

Lastly, I GOT A THING for guys with lumpy, dented heads and wrinkly necks. Just makes me wanna pin ‘em down and spooge in those noodle wrunks of theirs, ya know? And so for the burliest, best of ‘em all - I respectfully named MISTER NOODLE. I could go on and on, but a few standouts over the years have been: LUGNUT, TUG-BOAT, MEAT-GRINDER, BRISTLE-TOP, BULL-DOGGER and CAP’N CRUNCH (aka ‘The Abdominizer’) to name a few.

So what have YOU named some of YOUR favorite BeefPies? Use the COMMENT LINK below...

Goal Setting: From 58% to 100% BEEF

BeefPieBear — 2008-07-25T21:50:00-07:00

Life-time fitness starts - or RE-starts for me anyways - with 10 - 3x5 index-cards and a Sharpie. 10 goals that aren’t just vauge notions. Ten realistic, actionable goals with time-frames clearly stated: “I will take timer with me and before breakfast, I will start each morning with a 20 minute walk.” Oh crap! I just wanna drink coffee and smoke cigarettes and check my e-mail before having a greasy, salty breakfast! This old dog needs some new tricks...

Don't Just Sit There Bear - BEEF UP!

BeefPieBear — 2008-07-24T10:04:00-07:00

Something’s gotta change - and that’s ME. Cuz I’ve gotten out of shape, lost my routine, and that’s not good for any Bear. So here we go: I HEREBY COMMIT to becoming the biggest, burliest, beefiest BEEF-PIE -- Well, that *I* can possibly be anyways. I just turned 50, I can regain my lost ground and get back on the fitness track. Here’s my Beef Blog to record my progress for the world to see. Next Up: Setting some GOALS. If I can get Comments working, share your Goals and Progress too!
