Flipped through an interesting book written by an Orthopedic Surgeon called Nick Evans recently called Men's Body Sculpting, he also writes Body Building Anatomy. I like this book and recommend it to any body building enthusiasts, because this guy takes explains the physiology behind fitness and muscle gain rather than just tell you what to do w/o the reasoning.
However, this whole thing I found rather hilarious.
In the medical field, Orthopedic Surgeons have typically been labeled as "meatheads". It is a running joke that to get an Orthopedic Surgeon Residency you need to be able to bench press the same amount of weight as you score on the Step 1 (An exam you take while in medical school). Generally, it is expected that you score 240+ to land a residency, and that you need to be able to bench 240 lbs.
This following picture of the back cover of the book sums it up.
I mean, WHO DOES THAT? This author/orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, puts a body building pose picture of himself as an author wearing SCRUBS AND A STETHOSCOPE!?!?Perhaps someday as a doctor I will have that kind of physique. Still a long way to go though right now.
Imagine going to a doctor that looks like this. Might as well order custom scrubs that are sleeveless.
