Stallone = Awesome

The Biomatrix is a site that praises those who take their training to new heights - those who don't just want to be healthy but instead want to be something more. Those who want to push their body to the limit and expand beyond their boundaries (to use our current slogan). Sylvester Stallone is examplary in that domain though his work in sculpting his body is often under-appreciated.

At his peak during filming for Rambo 3 he reached a ridiculously low 2.8% bodyfat. As far as I'm aware that's lower than Bruce Lee - as far as I'm aware that's lower than any bodybuilder. It's certainly worthy of more adulation that he receives in those circles.

Well now he's once again trailblazing into uncharted training teritory. This is truly pionearing new heights of physical excellence and I hope he finally gets the credit he deserves. Look at the photograph below. Drink it in; that's Sly preparing for his new film: The Expendables.


Yes that's right, a new film. In this photo he's 62 years old! It's widely speculated infact that Stallone will NEVER DIE. Seriously, I've never seen anything like it. Most people in their 20s can't get close to a physique like this. Stallone's sheer determination and will power has once again seen him achieve unheard of levels of fitness for his age. He's a great role model for anyone over 50 who thinks they're over the hill, as well as anyone else who has a goal or ambition. This photo is also a fairly good advert for HGH use in over-60's. Stallone is on record advocating its use as a way to turn back the clock and a recent feature in Esquire has reported similar things. Sure it has some dodgy side-effects but at that age who really cares about the long run? If they haven't invented anything better by the time I'm that age I know I'll be using it. It's certainly safer than steroids and it's refreshing that Sly actually admits that he's sought outside help from chemistry. It means you feel you can trust him when he says he's roid free.

Oh and that Expendables film... get this cast: Slyvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Ludgren, Randy Couture, David Zayas, Robert Knepper, Danny Trejo, Eric Roberts and Forest Whitaker. That's one hell of an action orgy... and apparently Jet Li will get to fight Dolph Ludgren. That's incidentally what my wet dreams essentially look like... I'm comfortable enough in my sexuality to admit that. And with names like 'Lee Christmas' and 'Hale Caesar' you just know it's going to be awesomely cheesey. I am so gay for Sly right now...

This blog will keep you updated on his movements. For more on Sly read my recent article on 'Sylvester Stallone's Training'.
