										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know who George Lopez is. He’s the unfunny Latino ‘comedian’ hated by nearly every other comic, more known for stealing jokes — oh wait, that’s the other unfunny Latino ‘comedian’ named Carlos Mencia. Hard to keep track of all that lack of talent! But anyways, there’s this other dude named George Lopez, who’s not only funny — he’s in shape. And by ‘in shape’ I don’t mean ‘not as fat as that other unfunny male comic Roseanne Barr’  – I mean like really in shape — muscular and ripped.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1736" title="George Lopez Gym" src="https://muscleweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/bb-1.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="240" /></p>
<p>His name is George Lopez and he’s an amateur bodybuilder/physique model out of Chicago. More importantly, he’s a damn cool dude who exhibits the physique that most gym-goers aspire to. MuscleWeek sat down with G-Lo recently to learn about what makes this pussy magnet tick.</p>
<p>MW:  Wassup George! Tell us a little about yourself. Give the readers a little BIO so we can get familiarized with you.</p>
<p><strong id="yui_3_2_0_1_1326320410874120">GL: Well. First thing is I am fucking sexy, Shane (no homo) That’s what people really need to know. LOL!. I’m kidding. Kind of. I love Dubstep music even though I have no idea how to dance to it. I work at a health food store and I’m actually in nursing school. I’m going to be a Murse. I train at XSport Fitness in Chicago and I love being big. I’m 5’7 and 191lbs and I have visible abs. Other than that I am considering training in MMA since I think serious bodybuilding is a joke. </strong></p>
<p>MW: How often do you hear comments about the boring comedian George Lopez? You don’t think he’s terribly funny do you?</p>
<p><strong>GL: All the time. I always get… “Oh! George Lopez. I watch your show at night.” I usually roll my eyes or sometimes I give them a “Fuck yourself” but only if I am feeling nice. </strong></p>
<p>MW: How did you fall into this mess called Bodybuilding? Was it sort of a transgression from sports like so many?</p>
<p><strong>GL: I don’t have a crazy story. Like most kids I was 5′ and weighed 90lbs and wanted to have a 6-Pack because I thought girls would like it then after a short time training I blew myself up to be a monster. </strong></p>
<p>MW: Do you just train to be BIG or do you have aspirations to strut it on stage?</p>
<p><strong>GL: I used to. I thought it would be cool to compete but after a while it wore off. I like being big, I like to train hard and I like looking fly but when I realized what you have to do to be competitive on stage I was like… Ehhh. Forget that shit. </strong></p>
<p>MW: I like hearing that, George. Competition is not for everyone and you’re right. You have to do some serious gambles medically and legally to compete. Do people hassle you about getting in stage?</p>
<p><strong>GL: Yea. Sometimes. Guys I know in the gym are always asking me and always telling me I should. One guy called me a “waste of muscle” and I told him to get fucked because I use my muscle to my advantage. I like to eat and fortunately I have good genetics so I don’t get fat but I don’t want to eat bland food every day to get on stage to win a stupid sword or some t-shirt or something. </strong></p>
<p>MW: How does someone your age grow so much muscle so quick? Good genetics or do you have a “good hook up” ?</p>
<p><strong>GL: LOL! I have crazy genetics. Even when I was little I was still muscular. I remember being like 13 and older guys would ask me if I worked out and how much I benched. It was crazy. People forget. It’s 99% genetics if you ask me. I could probably not diet ever and eat junk food and get on stage and win but I don’t want to. </strong></p>
<p>MW: What are more of your most impressive lifts? I hear you have some pretty crazy lifts and exercises you’re particularly strong in?</p>
<p><strong>GL: Nothing too crazy. I can incline barbell press 315 for 10 reps without a spot. The other day I was squatting 465 for 10 without a belt or knee wraps. I can probably go heavier but why risk injury? I’m already jakked to shit. </strong></p>
<p>MW: What do you like most about bodybuilding?</p>
<p><strong>GL: I could be standing in the dark and still feel like there is a spotlight on me. </strong></p>
<p>MW: Working in a health food store that has a major sports nutrition section, do you ever get delusionites coming in asking you if you shop sells steroids?  You ever get customers who think a tub of Cell Teck is going to make them HUGE?</p>
<p><strong>GL: Every single day, man. I am sick of it, too. The other day this douche comes in and returned a half used tub of Cell Teck. I asked him what was wrong with it he said “Oh. It didn’t work.” Then he bought Size On with his refund money and left. Haha. Like that’s going to work. Guys come in all the time thinking after one protein shake they are going to wake up looking like a pro bodybuilder. </strong></p>
<p>MW: George, you’re a young good looking cat (no homo!). You have a killer physique. How often do schmoes and creepy men with a fetish for muscle try to Holla at you in the gym?</p>
<p><strong>GL: All the time. It’s worse on facebook. I get e-mails every single day with guys asking me direct how much I would charge them to let them have sex with me or they ask me if I am gay. I just block them after that. Know what’s crazy is I know a lot of bodybuilders from the gym who take guys like that up on their offers. </strong></p>
<p>MW: You ever get people on facebook privately messaging you about “sponsorship?”   How do you handle it?</p>
<p><strong>GL: I usually block them. </strong><strong>They first try to sound legit like they have connections to supplement companies and movies or they know people in music who are shooting videos so if I show interest they ask me for naked picture to “show their boss” then I just block them. Hahahaha!</strong></p>
<p>MW: So you never got down with meeting some weirdo in a hotel room some where along Cicero Ave near Midway Airport to give them a strip tease for a few hundred bucks?</p>
<p><strong>GL: Hell no! I know bodybuilders that would, though. It seems like most of them do that stuff. Not me man. I’m all about Vag. </strong></p>
<p>MW: How does at your age and physique have a girlfriend? Aren’t you constantly tempted to plow every single slut with a lower back tattoo in a 30 miles radius?</p>
<p><strong>GL: It’s hard when I am literally walking testosterone but I have a really good girl and been with her 4 years. I usually just jagg off when I feel the urge and go to sleep then I forget about it. </strong></p>
<p>MW: Marry. Fuck. Kill.     Ready?    Hayley McNeff.   Monica Brant.  Dana Linn Bailey.</p>
<p><strong>GL: I’d marry Hayley McNeff. I see her in the gym all the time. I want to bounce a quarter off of that ass. I’d fuck Monica and Dana at the same time and wouldn’t kill them afterwards. Okay, fine. I’d kill Dana and keep Monica in my rape dungeon for 10 years.</strong></p>
<p>MW: If you were stuck on a desert island and knew you were going to be there forever and the island had a fully equipped gym. Would you still train?</p>
<p><strong>GL: If it was just me on there? No. Hell no. I’d just jag off on the sand all day long. </strong></p>
<p>MW: You seem to post lots of pictures of yourself on facebook. What’s the strategy behind that? Is that D.L. for some DTF broad to private message you?</p>
<p><strong>GL: Hahaha. No. I never get that from girls just gay guys who want to see me naked or want to give me money to have sex with me. Most girls know I’m taken so they show some respect. I know a lot of hoe’s who don’t care, though. I can’t stand hoe ass bitches, though.</strong></p>
<p>MW: If you had unlimited funds and access to anything. Outline for us what you would use to get even bigger.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1737" title="George Lopez Side" src="https://muscleweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/bb-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p><strong>GL: If I had unlimited funds I wouldn’t be in the gym. Ever. I’d be living it up. Having lots of money trumps having muscle any day. You think Mark Zuckerberg isn’t having fun somewhere right now? To answer your question, though. I’d do a pro cycle and get crazy huge. </strong></p>
<p>MW: What do you see for the future of men’s bodybuilding? Is it going to be shattered by the introduction of Men’s Physique?</p>
<p><strong>GL: Bodybuilding is dead, man. You know that. It isn’t even cool anymore. Bodybuilding is so 3 years ago. Guys like Jay and Phil are eventually going to be on the stripper pole for their “private sponsors” when their supplement contracts dump them for some MMA guy or Men’s Physique guy. Men’s Physique is where it’s at now. Women want to be with a Men’s Physique guy. Dudes want to be with a bodybuilder. That’s why I don’t want to get bigger. I like being where I am at now. </strong></p>
<p>MW: Pick just one supplement. Just one. What do you use or believe in most?</p>
<p><strong>GL: Protein powder because it’s actually something your body needs and it has calories. </strong></p>
<p>MW: How does someone contact Big George Lopez if they wanted to touch your muscles, fondle your balls, or just jerk it to you from across a seedy motel room. E-mail address? Facebook? Where can you be found?  Any shout outs to anyone? Want to plug anything?</p>
<p><strong>GL: They can e-mail me at glopez175@yahoo.com or find me on facebook. I’d like to give a shout out to Hayley McNeff. Holla at me in the gym, baby! Also to you guys at Muscleweek. I read Muscleweek all the time and laugh my ass off. You guys are brutally honest about bodybuilding. </strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cliché answer from personal trainers and nutritionists on avoiding the pit falls of eating lousy foods is always the same. “<em>You have to make better eating choices.</em>”</p>
<p>WHOA! Really? No shit!</p>
<p>Here’s the thing. What if you believe that a lousy food is really ok to eat? Or what if you are just so compelled by a lousy food that you can’t control your own choice? What if you stand powerless over the memorizing forces it exudes over you rendering you defenseless against your will?</p>
<p>Open up your ears, sit up in your chair and read this relationship analogy that drives home my point.</p>
<p>I know a very successful competitor in the fitness industry. Never married and in her mid thirties very attractive and well educated. Over the last two years her dating resume has been a train wreck of poor decisions and grossly unqualified suitors.</p>
<p>Have you seen Bravo’s series “Millionaire Matchmaker”? Well this girl got the Dollar Store version; at half off.</p>
<p>Her history is littered with more wrong turns that a blind mouse in maze. I’ll keep it to the last two years alone. The first of the top three highlights would be the long distance alcoholic who lived four states away. No, a local alcoholic just won’t do, we need to travel four states away to find someone who has substance addiction issues.</p>
<p>Next was the pro athlete with six illegitimate kids from four different women and to top it off he had been arrested for felony charges. Nothing speaks to the valure of responsibility and commitment like sporting six illegitimate rug rats polished off with some probation time.</p>
<p>“He gave $10,000 to charity!” she quipped!</p>
<p>Yea, and that’s the financial equivalent of me dropping a nickel in the Salvation Army bucket with the old guy ringing the bell next to it.</p>
<p>Finally was the twenty one year old adolescence, 14 years younger than her and at a totally different place in life. My first response, “I hope for your sake, he is the hottest guy this side of the Mississippi”. “No” she replied, “He doesn’t even look that good.”</p>
<p>And boy she wasn’t lying.</p>
<p>Her battle cry was always “I’m looking for a man who can be a husband” but she flocked after the polar opposite; men and even a boy who were sorely lacking of the ability to be a husband, at least for her or better yet anyone.</p>
<p>“<em>So what the heck does this have to do with my relationship with food!?”</em></p>
<p>Simple, just plug in a piece of unapproved food for each unapproved guy! You truly think that both will fulfill an emotional need that you possess but neither is up for the task.</p>
<p>This is obvious.</p>
<p>The more compelling questions remains- why wasn’t the female able to see the pernicious relationships ahead of time? Why weren’t thirty five years of life experience on earth enough time to provide the discernment that someone fourteen years younger would never work?</p>
<p>Simple, the choices were based off emotion and not prudent logic.</p>
<p>Same thing applies with food.</p>
<p>Why weren’t you able to realize that if you ate the same “diet” foods you have been eating the results aren’t going to be any different? Did you believe that if you just ate “less” of them that would solve the problem?</p>
<p>For one you believe that the traditional “healthy” or “diet” foods you read about in <em>Out of Shape</em> and <em>Carbon Dioxide</em> magazine are actually legitimate.</p>
<p>How do you explain after your thirty or even forty something years in the world you still lack the wherewithal to make competent decisions about what to shovel into your mouth?</p>
<p>It’s a very compelling question isn’t it? So compelling in fact that often times even when a client signs up for a customized diet program from me that they still revert back to their pernicious habits within a few weeks; unable to even complete a full month of smart, healthy, plentiful eating.</p>
<p>A reoccurring theme I keep seeing is clueless women asking other clueless women what they should be eating.</p>
<p>I also see women who think they are experts in nutrition giving unsolicited advice to others. Problem is that these women aren’t experts nor are they even competent. Most of them know little more than the basics; which are wrong anyway.</p>
<p>Most of the time the young broad will read an article by a famous expert and all of a sudden anoint themselves as an authority figure and claim they actually know something more than the average spinning class regular &amp; cottage cheese eater.</p>
<p>Let me say this very loud and let me say this very clear. I have never ever seen a female who is following or has ever followed a healthy, effective and optimal fat loss diet program. Heck I’ve only seen a couple of men who I would deem as competent in doling out extremely effective fat loss programs but never once a female.</p>
<p>“<em>You sexist jerk! How dare you say you’ve never seen a woman who has followed a highly effective fat loss diet!?”</em></p>
<p>Well, because I haven’t. It’s not like the chances are much better with a guy though; I mean your chances only go from .00% to .01%</p>
<p>Anyway, getting back to the reason you’re still not equipped to make competent eating choices is because of the “buzz” words the diet industry manipulates.</p>
<p>“<em>Say what?”</em></p>
<p>Companies love to package foods with buzz words like “organic(s)” or “All natural” or ”Zero calories” and females of all ages eat them up!</p>
<p>Literally.</p>
<p>Females take the bait <em>hook line and sinker</em> every time.</p>
<p>Every heard the old saying “You can’t polish a turd?”</p>
<p>Well that’s exactly where <em>naïve newbies</em> all the way up to the middle aged <em>know-it-all’s</em> go wrong every single time. They think if a processed, refined food has “All Natural” or “Organic” on the label all of a sudden if raises the standard.</p>
<p>Wrong! Just because you slap the word “Organic” on the label of yogurt doesn’t make it a good food! It’s still a turd no matter what the label says.</p>
<p>I can just picture it now these crafty “health food” companies have thousands of confused females by the leash by simply slapping the buzz word “Organics” or “All natural” or “Zero Calories” on their can or label and your little mouth starts to pool up and drool with saliva as your beady eyes oggle these almost hypnotic hot button words!</p>
<p>It’s totally hilarious, you read the words “Zero Calories” or “Sugar Free” on a label and you think the previously unapproved food mysteriously turns to gold!</p>
<p>Hell you shouldn’t be eating cottage cheese, greek yogurt and heavy cream anyway, I don’t care what the label says.</p>
<p>But when the antsy young chicken sees the word “Organic” on the label a switch goes off deep in here cerebral consciousness and she is automatically rendered powerless against her will and caves in and slurps up the creamy product.</p>
<p>Take a look at the fridge photo below that proves two of my previous points.</p>
<ol>
<li>Remember above where I said I have never seen a female who was eating a truly effective and healthy fat loss diet? Well this photo happens to be from the inside of a fridge of a female who considers herself an expert and claims to offer the “<em>best interactive fitness and diet tools available</em>”.</li>
</ol>
<p>You seriously can’t make this stuff up people!</p>
<p>Your fridge should never look like this……if fat loss is what you’re after.</p>
<p>I truly have to laugh out loud when I see how delusional this young wiper snapper is. She actually thinks by paying nearly 20% extra for canned and bottled products with “Organics” on the label that it’s actually healthier!</p>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span">I can just see her guzzling down loads of this lactose loaded “All natural” beverage under the false impression that it’s actually going to help her get leaner.</span></p>
<p>You can learn a lot from your romantic relationships but just because you make poor decisions with your lover doesn’t mean you should make the same mistake with your food.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the record, I’ve never spoken to, texted, friended, unfriended, called, pranked, or emailed the nutritional and diet God commonly referred to by mortals as Mr. Shelby Starnes.</p>
<p>But it seems like no matter where you go these days, someone is shit-talking that OTHER ‘handsome man with glasses.’ What strikes me as odd about this is that people dog Hiney Rimjob and others for doling out advice without having ‘walked the walk’ but then when we have a guy like Shelby who not only talks the talk but actually takes the risk and puts himself out there to be judged and WINS, he still gets a boatload of crap.</p>
<p>If people hate on Shelby for being ‘too self-promotional’, I’d hate to hear what they’d say about Tony Robbins, Tony Little, Tony Soprano or any other successful person who took their destiny in their own hands and made something from nothing.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that unlike nearly EVERY OTHER GURU out there, Shelby is putting his name and reputation on the line by stepping on stage wearing nothing but a thong and contact lenses and proving his detractors wrong. Could he remember to Pro-Tan his face? Of course, but that doesn’t warrant all the disparaging remarks. Could he lose the coke bottle rims? Sure he could but Donald Trump could lose the bad hair and Bob Cicherillo could lose the pirate shirts. But they don’t. Why? Because it’s their SIGNATURE.</p>
<p>Shelby’s brand is modeled after another successful American icon: SUPERMAN!</p>
<p>By day, he’s Clark Kent — a bespectacled, mild-mannered reporter for the Daily Mail (T-Nation) and by night, he takes off the suit and tie (and pants, socks, shoes, shirt, glasses and underwear) and morphs into a real-life Superman with inhuman muscles and a penchant for sending emails to girls he works with. Sure, in this episode, Lois may have a deeper voice than Clark and he’d be lucky to lift her up much less fly away with her, but the point is the same: A Hater like Blockhead gets a real (gay) Superman tattoo on his shoulder but Shelby Starnes wears an INVISIBLE ‘S’ across his chest. That puts Mr. Starnes up 2-0.</p>
<p>Haters wanna hate, but why pick on a successful bodybuilder who’s backing up his talk with his walk?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, because he’s SUCCESSFUL. Successful at competing. Successful at writing. Successful at coaching. And most troubling (to me), successful at registering ShelbyStarnes.com before I did!</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" title="Shelby Contest" src="https://muscleweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/shelby_wallpaper.jpg" alt="shelby starnes" width="256" height="192" /></p>
<p class="wp-caption-text">Shelby Starnes</p>
</div>
<p>The most hated word in the industry is SUCCESSFUL. If you succeed, you will be hated.</p>
<p>So don’t fear the hate, Shelby.</p>
<p>Embrace it.</p>
<p>And for the record, Special Ed LOVES Shelby Starnes.</p>
