Curt Schilling’s bloody sock
Originally uploaded by andywirtanen.

Now the controversy between Gary Thorne and Curt Schilling has become a religious question. Schilling writes on his blog:

Mass gaining of Christmas

LJ57 is the winner of Bodybuilding.com’s Topic-Of-The-Week-Contest. The Question is: “How Does Your Training Regimen Change With The Seasons?” LJ57 lives in the Purgatory and signs his forum posts as follows: “From apes or sons of God, let every act be sacred.” So it is not astonishing that he writes about winter training: “During the winter there are many holidays as well (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas etc.) Being in a mass building stage will allow you to splurge a little with your family, and not feel so guilty about it.” Christmas is a great season for mass building.
