That looks like a badly AI generated image of Steven Seagal that Steven Seagal would use as his profile picture on social media as a bit.
If he isn't so full of himself.
He's a piece of shit in the inside, too.
Oh how the turntables
I’m surprised he isn’t in a helicopter because I heard he has been flying those for like 45 years.
Just remember folks, someone being fat is not a reason to hate them. Theres literally nothing else about him thats a redeeming quality, his being a lardass is the least deplorable thing about him. The fact that he must just shovel empty calories into his maw all day atleast limits the stupid shit coming out of it.
Him being fat is the only relatable thing about him.
It's not that it's deplorable, it's that it's comical given the context of him making a career being a self-deluded unconvincing badass.
For him it's not the fact that he's fat, but the absolute tragedy of a personality that excuses themselves shoveling food into his gullet. Cause you just know that in his own head he thinks he could still kick anyone's ass.
Most people aren't fat for that reason and being fat isn't a reason to make fun. But Steven Segal's pathology makes him being fat a little funny.
As a fatty, I can agree with this sentence.
You may not like him, but the man's in his seventies. This is what a person in their seventies looks like.
Fat people in their 70s
Well yeah, if you spend your life doing martial arts of combat sports your joints are probably absolutely fucked, and you've got no hope of getting meaningful exercise in without considerable pain. Hell, I've done BJJ for only ten years and my knees are a wreck. I know Seagal is into aikido and shit, but being rich I don't blame him for being fat in his seventies. It's really fucking hard to stay in shape when you get old.
Yeah no, if you actually spend your life doing sports and eating well you don't look like that.
As a counter example, Jackie Chan is in his 70s and looks like this:
Another example, US Secretary of Defense who is still serving and only retired from the military in 2016 and has seen literal combat, and is 71:
If you've wrecked your knees with only 10 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu it's likely because you started at a later age, and/or didn't start off really fit but rather got fit through it.
Or have a predisposition to having weaker knees, such as being primarily of European ancestry (weaker joints + arthritis more likely in exchange for plague resistance).
Old people don't magically become fat.
Only on Lemmy would someone with (likely) zero experience in combat sports tell someone that a sport known for rampant knee issues is "their fault", and not due to the increased force on the knees from doing a ground-based sport.
Again, only on Lemmy would someone say "you can't be fat in your seventies, these famous people aren't".
You're a VA rater aren't you? That guy who writes, "The VA has decided your joint pain after 10 years of Airborne duty is not Service Related."
That's a surprisingly kind view of things, but yeah, my dad did mountaineering his whole life and fucked his knees proper, but also likes to enjoy good food, so now in his seventies and with diabetes creeping in, it's a perfect combo for becoming fat.
I guess it's a bit easier to mock Steven Seagal because he's been so fit in his movies throughout most of his career, and now it turns out he was an asshole all along, on top of looking like an asshat even when I loved his movies. But mocking him for being an older human still feels rather cheap.
Can't outrun the fork, fatty.
Caloric deficit > killing yourself on a treadmill
Weight loss is just math.
That ignores a huge psychological aspect of weight gain, alongside several questions that contribute:
- How does the body manage when someone goes from incredible, disciplined health - to no care
- How do you maintain a calorific deficit in ill health, or with limited mobility?
- How do you stop someone eating for fun when they're in their twilight years and they want to enjoy themselves?
- How do you motivate someone that has gone from good mobility to bad mobility?
- How do you navigate a caloric deficit safely with both advanced age, retirement, AND diabetes?
I can say that for the latter points, it is incredibly hard to do so, looking at my parents and with people I've trained with. Furthermore, going from fighting fit to limited care can make you explode in both weight and joint issues. I've trained with a few army guys or people with pro sports experience, and it's mad how even in your forties you can go from a sub-twenty minute 5k to throwing up on a mat during a 5 min spar.
Holy shit when did this site turn into pure reddit?
Eternal September, my friend
Lemmy is still in March or April if you ask me
On Tuesday.
I can finally say to have a body like ab action movie star, woohoo!
Please enjoy. https://youtu.be/BzIHyF7UWY4
Exactly what I thought it would be. A real work of art.

My favorite Steven Seagal story, from his Wikipedia page:
Seagal has been accused by former stunt performers who have worked with him, including Kane Hodder, Stephen Quadros, and Gene LeBell, of intentionally hitting stuntmen during scenes. Additionally, while serving as stunt coordinator for Out for Justice, LeBell allegedly got into an on-set altercation with Seagal over his mistreatment of some of the film's stunt performers. After the actor claimed that, due to his aikido training, he was "immune" to being choked unconscious, LeBell offered Seagal the opportunity to prove it. LeBell is said to have placed his arms around Seagal's neck, and once Seagal said "go", proceeded to choke him unconscious, with Seagal losing control of his bowels. Seagal bodyguard and stuntman Steven Lambert stated he was present and said that a confrontation did happen, during which Seagal elbowed LeBell before he could lock the hold on Seagal, after which LeBell flipped Seagal.
Haha oh wow... He not only failed to stay concious, but also shit himself in front of everyone. I love that for him.
Lost a scuffle to avoid getting choked, gets choked anyway. Shit self in the process. Classic Seagal.
Lol imagine thinking that aikido training means your brain doesn't need oxygen.
Well, I would have guessed that less brain needs less oxygen, but I'm clearly wrong.
A movie producer I worked with in my time in the industry had done a movie with Segal in which Segal was to shoot a gun. Segal said he would only use a very specifically modified AR15. The production purchased the AR with all of the upgrades Segal requested. Segal fired it one time, said it was too loud and had too much kickback and he wanted to use a prop instead.
He said an AR-15 had too much recoil? Is he made of tissue paper, or did they mod it to fire artillery shells? Christ, one of the demos they did for us at our first live fire in basic training was having one of our fellow soldiers hold an M-16 stock UP TO HIS NUTS and fire it downrange to show just how little recoil they had. I'm not kidding, I personally witnessed this. I have also put at least 20,000 rounds through M-16's and AR-15's in my life. They don't kick. Seagal is a pussy.
I was trained with the H&K G3 with a slide stock. It's 7.62 and when I tried a 5.56 for the first time (a Swedish AK-5)I literally had to check to see if it did indeed shoot. There was no recoil from the 5.56. Never tried a M-16 apart from checking out the M-4 that the Rangers my squad was seconded to had (I was Norwegian Combat Engineer), no way that can kick to much.
M-4 / M-16 same difference. Unless it's chambered in something other than 5.56 they all shoot the same. And yeah, it's nothing like 7.62. As you are aware... you KNOW it when you're firing 7.62!

He looks like that old fat fuck that washes up at a camping trip who everyone knows and no one wanted them there.
Good to know that I, too, have the body of an action movie star.
"Star," like that chair, is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
