ZONE TALKS

ARE BODYBUILDERS
THE PUBLIC ENEMIES?

Muscle profiling...What the hell is that?
Well it`s the cops here in Swedens latest game where "too muscular" people
are being arrested, interrogated, tested for steroids and otherwise harassed!
Guess its the goverments latest game for protecting ourselfs from ourselfs or something?
This is occurring both in the gym and in the streets...

Well I do got some news for these guys....
Just because someone is big and muscular it does not mean that they necessarily are on steroids!
Improving your body with weight training is just one of many forms of self improvement!
And NO you cant look at a guy and tell hes on steroids!
I do know some freaky dudes who people asume are heavy roid users who never ever used shit!
And I may go out on a limb here but NO...not even "roid users" are automaticly into criminal actions
and NO they are not some sort of "chemical asisted evil human pitbulls" either!
Ofcourse Ive met some heavily juiced up individuals in the iron game during my
+25 years in the iron game but its like my girlfriend whos new into this "world" said:
-It seems like the bigger the guy the softer the inside...
...where do the hype come from that big guys are bullys?
And I couldnt agree more!
Just because a guy is huge it doesnt mean hes a bad person...on roids or not!!
How about closing down fast food restaurants and banning
junk food and soft drinks instead and start to harass fat people
whos actually...according to proven facts and studys actually are
harming their bodies even more than "roid users"?
Maybe they could start at McDonalds as well as the gyms?

I can understand that the society think they need to do something about the people
who do sell steroids for a living and making a ton of tax free money!
Ofcourse! Hell thats organized crime!
But thats not what Im talking about here!
Cuz I do have a huge problem with a society whos harrasing their people bacause the
way they look and because they are built a certain way!
On steroids or NOT! Thats not the point! The point is the way its done...
...I mean...didnt we see this way of acting with things that scared us in history already?
To me this is the same as a wich hunt or the same thing that first happened in nazi germany!
Harrasing people because they are physiqually "different"...
I just hope the madness stop and that people do wise up...if not...
...this is the beginning of a society turning on their own...

LOVE!

GIVE IT TO ME DIRTY!

Another cold ass Monday...December...southside Sweden...
Sitting at the office at the old Zone shop writing this piece...
...just putting the thoughts flowing out of my mind to ya guys...
I`m hairy...no more pretty shaved body here..naah fuck all that!

I`m still training 4-5 times a week & still have the passion to do so...
... just for myself and for the constant urge I have to look like a cartoon...
Dont know if I ever will hit a bodybuilding stage again cuz quite frankly
I always had this hate/love relationship with competitive bodybuilding...
I always been a rebell...and really...I just hate organized sports...
I hate the bullshit with what people call RULES!
Fuck rules! I make my own!

And I hate the bullshit that so vouge these days like that were doing
somethin healthty to ourself when transforming ourselfs into slabs of veiny beef...
What the hell is healthy with tearing every godamned muscle like
Ive done in my soon 25 years in this game? Ha! Stupid!
Its cool though...to look & to live like a freak that is!

Thats what its all about..to be a warrior! To step out of the norm!
THATS what I love about this shit! Nothing fancy & fly... Fuck no!
Give it to me DIRTY!

FUCK MAINSTREAM!

Let me light up that cigar for ya homie…We gotta` talk…
Ya know that I love the hardcore iron game…Ya can see it at this website…
Hell I got more than the muscles, I even got scars to prove it!

I care about this shit…this game is a big part of my life…
...hell it even put the food on my table!
Ofcourse we want it to grow even bigger & better…the question is how to do it…
...how to deal with it…
Were fighting on a fine line here…should we really be tryin`
to sell our shit to the mainstream in the first place?
Why?
Yeah my question is why we even should bother tryin`?
Cuz lets face it…our sport IS crazy…if you're tryin` to portrait the hardcore
part of our sport as something "clean cut" your nothing but a liar!!
It isn't something for the weak once & ya know it brotha`so dont ya dare
to challenge me to change the shit I write at MY site...Period!

I've been into this game for close to 25 years now
& Ive been running The Zone Shop since 1989 making a descent living…
The Zone shop is all "street" though…
...ya know I meet the players of this game up close face to face every day.
I hear the talk…I feel the spirit of the core of our sport…
...& ya know what…the core of our sport aren't mainstream!

Sure I have lots of "normal" people getting their supplements & clothes at my store too.
But even though these people are training to just look & feel good most
of them are fascinated by the hardcore part of our sport despite
that the mainstream media do hate our guts!
Hell take a look at all millions & millions of hits to this website!!
This website is "clean" but so far from mainstream you can come...
But lately I had +1000 unique visitors in here every day!
So you know what homie…
FUCK MAINSTREAM!!
We don't need their love!!

WHY THE GANGSTA`SHIT?

Lately Ive been getting that question & I wanna clear some things up....
Nah Im not from Compton...
But Ive been into hiphop & gangsta`rap music longer than Ive been into bodybuilding...
I started to listening to it back in 86 when I was in my band (SLAM) touring US.
I really can relate to alot of the gangsta rap lyrics as I wasnt your typical
"Swedish lad" as a kid...I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth...
I was growing up with an alcoholic & abusive father that used to beat up my mom...
That made me to live a wild life when I was younger.
Nah I never been into drugs & shit but Ive been shoot at & I once had a
gun pointing at my head when I woke up...that kind of shit...
...and not all of my old homiez are around today...

I could drop down & get bitter about the past...
...but instead I decided to take the negative & turn it into something positive!
Why not make a show out of it?!
Life is all how you decide to look at it...its all up to you!
I decided early to take control of my life & do EVERYTHING my way!
I started my own shop & decided to make a living by my own hands
& live MY dream no matter what!
Today Ive been living full time within bodybuilding making my own money since 1989!

After 22 years professionally in the iron business its easy to get bored when reading
everything over & over again...so I decided to do it with a little twist!
I actually laugh my ass off when posting some off the stuff what I post!
C´mon guys!! Its FUN..read again..F-U-N!!
And I do laugh at myself all the time!!!
Thats the idea with everything I do on this site...to both make people laugh
at what I wright BUT at the same time mix it up with som seriouse stuff...
I want people to both laugh & maybe stop up in the middle of their laughter
& think abit now & then...I guess its that mix that some people just dont get...
BUT..I do got all the hits!!
+107 mill & counting...LOL!

WHY THE GUNS?

When it comes to the guns & shit I guess the post
I did on my site together with Jeff says it all:
www.zonecapone.com/profiles/MATRIX1.htm

Or as Quentin Tarantino once said:
-"I love violence in movies etc but hates it in the real world."

As I said...I post shit on the net all in FUN!
Im here to entertain & I really think the lineup needs a clown!
BUT...I DO TAKE BODYBUILDING VERY VERY SERIOUSE!!!
I live & breath this sport 24/7!
And when it comes to bodybuilding I do know my shit!
You never been wondering WHY I am like I am on the net?
Well...to get noticed is a very very important part of making a living in this sport...
& really...every time someone is saying my name they also saying the name of my company!
Ive been a business man all my life & Im not totally stupid!

As Ive said before...to me life is a movie...
There are alot of "sideshows" walking around that forgot
that they have the leading role in their own movie...
Dont be one of them...do like me..be a MOVIE STAHHH!!"
If I can do it...SO CAN YOU!!
I like to express myself & to have fun. I have many great fans
but because I dare to stand out I take lots of heat as well...
But I can take that cause I love to be different...& to stand out in a crowd..
Atleast I`ll never be a clone...

BUILDING BEEF ON A STICK

Theres a fine line between results & disaster when tryin`to build beef on a stick...
People dont seem to realize what it takes to double your body weight
like I have done during my soon 25 years in the iron game...
They dont understand why I had all my injurys thru these years...
They look at me strange...shaking their heads...
...thinking Im selfdestructive or just plain crazy.
Well I can agree on the crazy part but I have never been selfdestructive.
I just know what kind of training it takes for a guy born skinny
with shitty genetics to add muscle...

But now Im finnaly back in the sadle!
My triceps injury seems healed & Im eager to jump back
into some hardcore allout training again!
Two more weeks of "regular" training & then its back to
DOGGCRAPIN` again!
I will try real hard to keep myself in one piece this time around...
Counting...10 fingers, 10 toes, 10 fingers, 10 toes...

HOMIEZ AND HATERS...

Im fully aware that not every body loves me out there...
Im standing out in a crowd & ofcourse that will make some people talk
both in real life & here on the net...
But really...thats actually totally ok with me!
Thru the years I have heard all kind of gossip about myself...
...everything from that Im beating-up my girlfriend to that Im dead!
Most of the time that kind of shit will just put a smile on my face!
Because the rumors are spread from people who dont know shit about me
as a person & are so out of context of who I am so they are funny!
But when people who I used to meet at the gym on a regular basic,
who smile at my face & acting like friends suddenly stab me in the back
talkin`shit about me to my closest homiez I just get sad.
I wont write no names of these haters...thats not my style...
But really f you do have issues with me atleast show some balls &
tell it to my face instead of to my homiez!
If you dont have the guts to do that...well keep my name out of your mouth!
Wont dwell on negatives so I will close this one now with a
I LOVE YALL
from the bottom of my heart to my true core of friends!
Yall know who you are...

NO LIMITS!

I get alot of e-mails from people from all walks of life tellin` me
that I inspire them to keep goin`at it both at the gym & in life!
They tell me that Im a living proof that one motivated individual
can become whatever he sees himself to be!
These e-mails always makes me really happy inside & inspire me to keep
doing it my way!
People will always try to limit you & your abilitys in life...
But always remember that limits are what people all around you try to place on you!
Limits makes people mediocre, they crush dreams & will take away the joy to live...
When I turned 40 alot of my loved once started to subconscious limit me.
Ya know tellin`me that maybe I shouldnt do this or that...
Like I was gettin`old or someting! LOL!
I know they just care about me but to me age has
NOTHING
to do with how to live life!
Im here to live my life allout to the fullest & do it MY WAY!
So many people fall victims of placing limits on themselves
make sure to NOT be one of them!
