marcus300 interviews Knockout Power

marcus300:Where in the world do you live and how do you find it?
KP: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... so basically, when you think you have driven through the most useless place in the world, keep driving and we are the next city. And for those who need more specific details; Coordinates: 53°34′N 113°31′W / 53.567°N 113.517°W / 53.567

marcus300: What are your stats and what would be your ideal stats?
KP: age-31, height-69"(5'9), weight-229lbs, bf%-15... ideal would be somewhere around 200lbs and 6-7% to get me closer to making weight for fighting

marcus300 What do you do for a living?
KP: Im a dental technician. Basically I build all the gold and porcelain work that a dentist uses to rebuild a patients mouth after a tooth, or many teeth are lost. The odd time I have to work with a specialist to reconstruct a patients mouth after some kind of trauma (ei. Skiing accident, hockey player gets a stick in the mouth, car accident).. If we dont have too many members with weak stomachs I can post pics of a full mouth reconstruction I completed about a month ago. On the side I also tune and track test cars for customers

Members question: Other than the obvious, what is it about women that fascinates you so much?
KP: This is kind of difficult to explain. As much as I post pics of half naked hotties, I actually not as “visual” when Im looking for a woman. Its true, I definitely appreciate a woman who takes care of her body and this, in many cases, is far more attractive than a woman who was “gifted” with a naturally esthetic body but abuses it by smoking, excessive partying etc… for the visual side, it’s a real toss up between the eyes and the smile. Ive seen incredible examples of both and they were so amazing that even if the woman was standing there naked I would have a hard time deviating from them. In all honesty, what I find the most interesting about a woman is the way she reacts when you touch/kiss/lick her body… when they lose control in my hands, it feels great on the ego.

Members question: How many pairs of shoes does your current girlfriend have?
KP: Just asked her, about 30 pairs… moddest amount for a girl I think

marcus300: What is your cycle history and how long have you been training for?
KP: Started training when I was 16 and throughout my teens and early 20's. School and work saw me not training at all for almost 5 years and I ballooned up to about 230lbs and high 20% Bf. Xmas of 2005 I was in Hong Kong and when I saw pictures of myself and how fat I was (didn't help being next to 110lbs people in China) I decided to get my ass back in shape as quickly as possible. In the following 6 months I dropped about 50lbs and added about 5-6lbs of muscle (first time I saw my abs in nearly a decade).

At 27 I started cycling...
cycle 1
Test Cyp 400/wk 12 weeks(switched to cyp after two incredibly painful injects of Test400, will never do that again)
cycle 2
Test Cyp 500/wk 12 weeks
Cycle 3
Test E 250/wk, Tren A 350/wk 10 weeks
Cycle 4
Sust 600/wk, NPP 450/wk, Tren E 450/wk 9 weeks
Cycle 5
Test Prop 750/wk (6 weeks) w/ MT kicker @ 3mg/day

marcus300: Do you come from a large family?
KP: Italian, so yes, quite large... in number and weight. Immediate family is myself, 2 younger brothers and my mom

marcus300: Are you married or have children?
KP: That would be a no and most definitely not

marcus300: What have been the highs and lows of your life?
KP: This is a little difficult, I dont really have defining moments in my life, moreso an ongoing attempt to become happy. I would say my low point was when my grandpa passed away after a 2 year battle with cancer. With my mom getting divorced when I was very young, I grew up with my grandparents so we were very close. As of yet, I dont think I really have a high point. Maybe its cause I seem to set my sights/goals really high so I dont feel Ive accomplished anything until I get there. At the end of each year I am usually pretty happy with my lifes progress and look forward to outdoing it the following year... who knows, maybe something great will happen in 2011

Members question: Do you think that he will ever attain triceps?
KP: Well Skyler… yes, if I ever get desperate enough, I too will grab a bottle synthol. But right now, as Im training to get back into fighting, the last thing you want to do is throw around heavier arms for half a dozen rounds.

Members question: If you could change one thing about the female sex, what would it be?, Why? what bothers you most?
KP: This is easy, I hate how women criticize their bodies so much… If a man is with you, theres a really good chance he is happy with your body (perfect or not). The one instance that’s sticks out in my mind was about 8 years back, I was seeing a Danish girl who was a 6’1 and 135lb model. She would put up such a fight when I wanted to go down on her cause she thought she had fat legs… WTF right!?!?!

marcus300: What advice would you give the newbies visiting this board?
KP: If you are here for advice, the simplest thing to do is just take the advice given. Dont ask for help and then tell those who gave you great advice that they dont know what they are talking about cause the freaky big dude at the gym who is huge and is going to compete one day and sold you the shitty gear says contrary to what the forum members are telling you... and should you choose to still take "the big dudes" advice, dont come back in a few weeks/months asking why your dick doesn't work anymore.

marcus300: Where in the world have you travelled to and where would you most like to go?
KP: Im not that well travelled. Most of my trips have been to Japan. I started importing cars and parts about 11 years ago so I would make 2 trips a year to pick out the cars and visit some of the performance shops and the friends I had made. Other than that, I spend 3 weeks over Xmas a few years back in China and Macau. Only been to the good 'ol US of A once for a drift event

marcus300: Who would you most like to meet from AR?
KP: This is going to sound completely arrogant, but not meant to be so. I would really like to meet myself. Just to see what kind of first impression I make on people... but if this were to be directed specifically towards AR members, I would have a list of people I would really like to meet

Mr Rose; Ive always wanted to visit Aussieland and I think doing so through his lifestyle view would be really fun

If I ever made my way to the UK I'd really like to meet Siggy to see if he really is as hideously ugly as other state and then maybe make some time to smack some sense into that goof Manic and of course have Marcus there to co-oberate the stories

Heading state-side, I would really like to see this 2011 "get-together" happen. So far Ive heard of locations like Vegas. Cheap and easy flights for us Canadian members. Would be nice if that tiny little Haz would show and of course where he goes, Dukki is sure to follow. Throw in Iggy and we've got a party

Ive already met a couple members; Calgarian, Bertuzzi, Someguy123 and 2jz_Calgary and so far I have to say Im really dissapointed (kidding dorks, keep your panties on)... but I would like to meet as many of the members as possible. The above list isnt a "preference list", just people I could meet in conjunction with doing some travelling which I plan on doing more of next year. And if people ever want to visit Edmonton, for whatever retarded reason, I do have an extra place they could stay to save them accommodation expenses.

marcus300: What makes you cry?
KP: I can really only remember one incident where I actually teared up and as corny as it may sound, it was during the movie I am Legend when Will's German shepherd died. I had a puppy that looked VERY close to that one. I love dogs and I'd have to say that a good majority of the people I have intentionally hurt have been ones Ive caught abusing dogs.

marcus300: What kind of diet do you follow and what kind of training?
KP: My diet is totally dependant on my goal for that period of time. Currently, the last 2 weeks has seen me with the goal of eating all the leftover hallooween candy. As of today (November 15th) Im officially starting to cut a lot of weight (fat and LBM) to try and get back down around 200lbs so I can start fighting again

marcus300: What kind of fighting are you looking to train for and why have you decided to slow down with the bodybuilkding and go into fighting?
KP: Hard to explain really. I just got this feeling around mid summer that I didn’t enjoy bodybuilding anymore. Maybe not that I didn’t enjoy it, but my heart wasn’t really into it anymore. For the last several years I looked forward to going to the gym right after work and doing my thing, even if I was sick, tired, and especially when I was feeling down. It was like the completion of my work day, couldn’t go on with my evening until my 4:30 workout was complete.

Right around August I found myself making excuses to myself why I wasn’t going that day until finally I was only going every other day, then twice a week and then missing an entire week altogether. Wasn’t too happy about it, but I didn’t have the ambition to weight train, keep on diet, and the others things you need to make bodybuilding successful.

Around the end of September I was asked by a friend of mine, who was having a fight in October, if I would help him with his stand up. So over the next month or so I was really enjoying the program and again, looking forward to my daily training, even though it wasn’t actually mine. But the one thing I did notice is that all my extra mass was making me a lot slower and I definitely did not have the stamina I use to when I was fighting a couple years ago. So roughly the beginning of November I decided to change my focus. For my height, I would like to compete at middleweight (185) so that will require me to drop down to about 200lbs (with roughly 6-7%) so Im close enough to cut to make weight. This requires me to drop about 25lbs of fat plus muscle.

Members question: How does your fighting record look? W/L
KP: No comment, but its all amateur =)

marcus300: Where do you see yourself in 5 yrs time?
KP: 5 years huh? Hope to be retired if possible. Not retired from ever working, just enough that I can do what I want, instead of still working to save enough to retire.

marcus300: Would you like to have children?
KP: I think that would be incredibly painful, not sure where I’d push one out. As of right now, I still don’t see myself having children, Im far too selfish. I like to sleep when I want to, wake up when I want to, go home when I want, go out when I want… and that’s a little difficult when you are responsible to another life.

marcus300: What does a typical day look like for you?
KP: Wake up @ 6:30
Get to work around 8, do some work and whore on here for a while

Use to work out 4:30 to 6, now I don’t =)… but I typically help work on my customers cars when I have time.

Bedtime is around 10

Exciting day as you can see…

marcus300: Whats the meaning behind your screen name?
KP: As embarrassing as it is, the truth is that it came from jokes back when I was 17 and started boxing. Wasn’t the most naturally gifted boxer but the moment I hit my opponent, the fight ended…

Members question: Who does KP believe are the top ten most muscular guys on this site?
KP: To be honest, I actually don’t know what most of the physiques on this site look like. The ones that come to mind are Reed, Marcus, Narc looked pretty big in his photo’s, but I have not seen him on here in a while. Smoke_the_days was a big boy when I first talked to him. Fireguy looks big on stage, so I assume when he’s not sitting @ 4% he must look really big. I would include Haz in the list, but he’s just so tiny… needs to stop photoshopping all his pics.

PS. Siggy is so ridiculously ugly

marcus300: What frustates you about life?
KP: In all honesty, inconsiderate people. People who take their pleasures in inconveniencing others throughout the day. Normally it takes a lot to piss me off, but people who do dumb shit, especially when driving, set me off. The way the younger kids, and even some people my age don’t even think to hold a door for elderly people or even worse, let it go right in their face. I wont go into the other kinds of things that frustrate me, cause then I’ll just get mad =)

Members question: You always hang around with the dumb lounge posters and you seem to never post anywhere else, you have great knowledge why dont you start spreading your wings?
KP: As I mentioned earlier, I spend most of the first 3 years here in the Q&A. Eventually I found myself getting angry the majority of the time I was in there. Nothing worse than taking your time to write out a long descriptive explanation of how someone would do what they are trying to do safely and effectively and then get slammed for it. I stick my head back in there from time to time and read in on the postings, but if what I would have said is already stated, I don’t bother.I will try to be a responsible member and get back in there more often.

marcus300: Have you ever had any nagative effects from taking steroids?
KP: The only negative thing Ive experienced from anabolics use is an even more overly active libido. Maybe it’s the Italian heritage, but Im aroused way to often normally and on cycle it gets even worse… thank god for porn. The only other thing Ive experienced was when I was on tren I did notice that I was less tolerant of ignorant people.

marcus300: What is your favorite car?
KP: All time favorite car is the 1993-2002 Toyota Supra TT. Cant really explain why, but it just fits me better than any other vehicle Ive driven.

Members question: Why do you like hanging in the Lounge so much?
KP: Makes me laugh. As much as people think my near 10k posts came all from the lounge, the truth is that the first 3k were all in the Q&A with some being in the boxing/wrestling/MMA section. I actually got into this site following a link from a google search about one of my favorite fighters…

I don’t spend as much time in the Q&A anymore cause I don’t have the patience a lot of the others do. Nothing like telling someone how to do things right/safe and then have them tell you to go fvck yourself cause they are doing it their way anyways. After almost 3 years of that, I actually found the lounge. The lounge offers a different king of help as well. A lot of our members are having difficult times in their lives and they vent or find solace in expressing themselves to essentially a bunch of strangers or reading about other members situations that show them they are not alone… and hey, the jokes can make anybodies day better

Members question: Which members are you attracted to whether it's from their avatar or post? and why?
KP: This could be answered in several ways, but the word “attracted to” and its potential ability to be misconstrued will keep me from answering it. Im going to alter the question a bit and say that there are some very attractive female bodies on here and they coincide with some very interesting personalities which I think would be very cool to hang out with if we were to ever meet. As for the male population of the forum, there are some physiques I am a little jealous of and would like to attain someday, but Im not going into specifics on who.

Members question: I understand that after a long drought of celibacy, you found a special girl.... so special that I hear you might be meeting the parents very soon. How did this happen?? Is she the one? Is Calagarian Jealous?
KP: Well BERT, I did meet her parents and they like me (big surprise). I usually ‘interview’ well because I don’t get nervous or worry about what people think about me, cause lets face it, nobody is anymore important than anyone else so those who choose to judge me in a negative way are not those who are important to me. And this event was brought to you by Bert and his girl, who kindly donated her girlfriend to the “Help KP get over the 15 months of self pleasurement” fund. She’s holding up quite well, strong back on this one. And I doubt Calgarian (notice I only used 3 a’s) is jealous, he probably still hasn’t come up for air in between his play sessions. Not sure how he can hold his breathe so long with those girls using up all the oxygen in the room when they get excited.

Members question: Are we all invited to the wedding?
KP: Nope

Members question: When are you going to come to Ontario to party with the coolest kid on the forum?
KP: Assclown

Members question: How did you get into the career you have?
KP: Well, when I was just finishing highschool and doing some career searching, a cousin of mine who is a dentist made the comment to me.. “why don’t you start making teeth instead of breaking them” (I was boxing at that time).. True Story. I actually ended up going into culinary arts (I wanted to own a restaurant) and trained as a chef for 3 years but decided it wasn’t for me. So I went back to school for another 3 years and Ive been doing this for 9 years now. A lot of people don’t know what a dental technician does (neither did I 10 years ago) but if we have enough people with strong stomachs, I can post some pictures of a full mouth restoration I finished a couple weeks ago…

Members question: How did you get into fighting and what is the reason you enjoy it so much?
KP: I was on the wrestling team in junior high and through high school and I started boxing when I was 16 mainly for the purpose of getting into great shape. Turned out I hit REALLY hard and it only got better as I trained for it. Switched to martial arts when I was 21ish as I was getting less interested in being hit in the head repeatedly. I like competitive combat cause I determine the results. Im not much of a team player because I like to win and I dislike that a team is only as good as the weakest player. Its kind of a harsh way to look at things, but its honest. I do play team sports but mainly for fun, like soccer/football (whatever) and even dodgeball
