Wanna Get Big?
Posted 5 years agoI'm proud to announce that I am now an online fitness coach!
Last December, a mutual friend of my mate and I wanted my help to get started in bodybuilding. I gave him a few pointers, and he was so grateful that he offered to take me on as a trainer over the Internet.
One client became two, two clients became four. I was invited to join
zakrhyno's Furry Muscle Podcast. Hey, I thought, I'm really on to something, here!
I loved teaching other guys how to take control in the gym. I'd finally found a way I can give back to the fandom that has given me so much!
So after a lot of trial and error, research, advice-seeking, and trying things out, I think I'm ready to open my doors officially.
My Qualifications:
*14 years of bodybuilding experience (and counting!)
*Can Fit Pro Certified Personal Trainer (May 2018)
*NSCA Certified Personal Trainer (In Process)
What I Do
I specialize in training men who want to break into the bodybuilder lifestyle, or who are on the smaller side and want to gain muscle. While I can certainly help you guys who want to lose fat, there are already so many programs and trainers with much more experience who can help you that it would really be better for you to seek them out than come to me.
That being said, if you want to transform from a fat guy to a musclebound guy, I'm only too happy to take you on!
For all of the details on what I offer, you can check out my re-vamped FA profile. I plan to list everything there. I also plan to upload some testimonials at some point.
If you have any further questions, or if this sort of thing interests you, I welcome your PMs.

More Than a Gym: A Tribute
Posted 10 years agoToday was the last day. The local YMCA in my hometown lies at the end of a 20 minute walk from my house. For nine years, I've made that walk religiously. In blazing heat and bitter cold, through wind and rain and blinding snow. I've watched the sun come up and go down and seen the stars dance with the moon along that walk, all to strive for the kind of beautiful body that every bodybuilder dreams of.
And today was the last day.
In two weeks, I move out. I start a new life in a new country with my beloved mate. So I knew this day was coming, but the reality of it - of no longer going to the same gym I always have - is every bit as emotional as the day you walked out of your high school for the last time, or the day you said goodbye to a beloved pet.
Here's why.
I don't lift weights as a hobby. This is not a pastime. I'm an amateur bodybuilder, a TRUE muscle fur, and so that means weight training is almost a religion for me. Bodybuilding is a 24-hour commitment. You have to pour all of your resources - your time, your attention, your discipline - into it or you'll never make substantial progress. You have to watch what you eat and when, and plan ahead for those days when life happens so that you still feed your muscles what they need to grow. You have to make sure you get enough sleep even more than the average person does. You have to sacrifice your favorite junk foods, and you even have to consider what impact your job might have on your training. The gym where you train lies at the heart of all of that planning.
So my gym has meant much more to me than just a place to work out. It's like a second home. It's a place where I've felt more alive, happier, angrier, more frustrated and more triumphant than anyplace else. I've poured nine years of sweat, pain, breath, music, hope, determination, and yes even tears into it. That gym was the place where I became a real man.
So yeah, I guess the big hoss is a tad emotional about having to say goodbye to it. It's one of those wonderful bittersweet moments of your life where, if it were a movie, you'd hear the main theme sweeping the audience up before moving on to the next scene.
Being a writer, sometimes you just...have to get feelings down on paper, so to speak.

Duke's New Look Contest!
Posted 10 years agoSo my mate and I have been talking and decided that Duke's current look is a tad generic. It's important to me that my fursona be distinctive enough that anyone who sees art of him recognizes Duke Titan on sight, if they've seen other images of him.
So I decided the best way to get fresh ideas on how to change my fursona's appearance would be to hold a sort of art contest. I've saved up some money for a series of commissions where I give each artist free reign over one category of their choice: mane styles and color, body accessories and markings, or signature outfits.
They come up with 3-6 different possible options. These can be as zany and creative as the artist wants to make them. Even silly looks are okay. Then, when the commissions are done, I'll post them on here. Y'all can look them over and tell me which options in each category get your vote!
The winning artists will see their designs incorporated into my fursona's new permanent look!

For Joe
Posted 11 years agoJoe Weider's death matters more to me than the death of my own grandfather. I know how that sounds. But between the two of them, Joe was the one who changed my life.
Not directly, of course. But it was Joe who led to Lou Ferrigno, and to the muscle magazines I saw in grocery stores as a boy, and I would not be a bodybuilder or a muscle fur today without the inspirational story of Lou's rise to bigness and the dreamy pictures of muscle champions proudly displayed in slick full color glory on Flex and Muscle and Fitness - both magazines that Joe founded.
Bodybuilding is still an unsung sport in many ways. We do not get the prime time television coverage or the full color photos in the daily newspaper. We don't even get Olympic medals. Our greatest moments of triumph and toughest battles are private affairs between us and the iron, with only a select few others who truly understand what it means to say that we've achieved our dream weight in muscle (in my case 5'9 and 200 pounds as of March).
But bodybuilding is no longer the stigmatized weirdo's activity that it was back when Arnold began training in his Austrian hometown, largely due to Joe's efforts. Joe helped to systematize what had, until he came along, been a mishmash of word-of-mouth advice and hearsay and raw dumb luck. Before Joe, bodybuilding was a curiosity. After Joe, it was a sport.
All serious bodybuilders alive today should consider Joe to be something of a grandfather figure. A sensei of muscle. A guiding light along the path of self-betterment through weight training. Joe gave men like me - who grew up in a single parent household with no father figure or older brother there as a guide - a chance to discover for ourselves what it meant to be a man. The methods, contests and magazines he pioneered allow us all to fulfill the ancient words of Socrates who said:
"No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training...what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."
The next workout session I do at my gym will be my memorial service to Joe. To all my fellow muscle furs - the next time you train, do one more rep on each of your sets in his honor.
He left this world a buffer place.

I Don't Normally Do This
Posted 12 years agoYeah, yeah it's another one of those journal articles that secretly asks you to donate money. But here's the twist! This time it might actually benefit you, too!
I recently found this website called Go Fund Me that uses crowd sourcing to help you generate money by tapping into your online social networks and communities. Small, affordable donations accumulate and eventually you arrive at your goal.
So if that'd be worth something to you, you might as well check out my profile. And if you'd like to drop a little somethin in, you would have the gratitude of a quarter ton supermodel muscle stallion. Just sayin.

Duke's Tropes
Posted 12 years agoSo I'm a fan of this website and I thought it would be amusing to analyze what tropes my fursona is an example of. Here's the comprehensive list:
A Man is Always Eager: Or make that "a horse is always eager."
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....ImpossibleSex">Anatomically Impossible Sex: Duke is a horse. Enough said.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....alStereotypes">Animal Stereotypes: The Horse. Duke fits most of these to a T. He is noble, majestic, powerful, passionate, loyal, courageous and beautiful.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....tFunnyAnimals">Barefoot Cartoon Animal:Duke doesn't wear shoes
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p...../Main/BearHug">Bear Hug:Most of Duke's hugs are this.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....Main/BigEater">Big Eater: Duke eats a hundred pounds of food a DAY.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....IsBetterInBed">Bigger is Better in Bed:Comes up a LOT among muscle furs. Horses doubly so.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....ain/TheBigGuy">The Big Guy: Example of a Class 2.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....in/BornWinner">Born Winner
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....lasSuperpower">Charles Atlas Superpower: Somewhat. Duke does get a lot of his inherent strength from his genes, but his intense training has vastly expanded this.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....in/TheCharmer">The Charmer
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....heRightPlaces">Curves in All the Right Places
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....isOwnStrength">Does Not Know His Own Strength: Especially in his younger days.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....n/EthicalSlut">Ethical Slut: Duke gets around, but he usually genuinely cares about his lovers and has high standards when it comes to his professional work.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....xpressiveEars">Expressive Ears:*Earperk!* *...earfold...*
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....keNationality">Fake Nationality: Duke's Texan accent is an affectation.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....amousAncestor">Famous Ancestor:Duke's sire was a literal Titan.
Fur is Skin: Duke uses posing oil liberally, and has no trouble despite possessing horse hair. Somewhat justified in that he does explicity shave the way human adult models do.
Gay Cowboy: This pretty much defines Duke as a model.
Gentle Giant
Handsome Lech: Duke is unashamed about his reputation as a guy who gets around.
Hates Being Touched:Subverted oh so wonderfully hard.
Hello Nurse:A male example.
Hot God: Duke's sire.
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Same sex version with Duke and his mate.
Human Pack Mule:Subverted in that Duke actually enjoys it.
Hunk
I Got Bigger:Duke went from 6'1 and 220 in high school to 7'0 and 500 by the age of 25.
The Immodest Orgasm: To the point of SHATTERING WINDOWS.
Inhumanly Beautiful Race:Horses in the fandom tend to be portrayed as this. Duke certainly regards his species as this.
Interspecies Adoption
Interspecies Romance: Obviously. It's the furry fandom.
Leaning on the Furniture
Like a Fish Takes to Water: Duke and bodybuilding.
Macho Camp: Duke's body ALONE qualifies.
Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex:Duke can bench press trailer truck beds. He can do trailer pulls with six full semi trucks. It's a wonder he doesn't utterly liquify anyone he tries to sleep with.
Manly Gay
Martial Pacifist:Arguably not so much in that Duke has any combat skills but that putting him in a situation where he was forced to resort to violence would be a very bad idea.
Muscles Are Meaningful:VERY much so.
My Instincts Are Showing:It's generally a bad idea to approach Duke unnoticed from behind. Duke also becomes suspiciously docile when groomed with horse brushes or has a bit and bridle slipped on.
Neck Lift:Has done this on a few occasions, although more by the shirt collar and occasionally more of a bicep lift.
One Head Taller: At 7 ft, Duke tends to loom slightly over his lovers and friends.
Pec Flex: And how!
Power is Sexy:In the form of super strength.
Power Walk: And it is DELICIOUS!
Rags to Riches: Duke's childhood was one of considerable poverty on a wolf preserve, and it was only after he broke into the adult modeling industry that he became wealthy.
Raised by Wolves:Literal example.
Rancher
Ready for Lovemaking: Pretty much defines Duke's entire profession.
Sapient Steed
Seme:Duke falls into this category of anime/manga male characters.
Sex God
Sex is Cool:Duke's raison d'art.
Sex is Good
Shirtless Scene: Duke is fond of these.
Sleeves Are For Wimps: None of Duke's shirts have sleeves.
Sliding Scale of Beauty: YMMV on this one, but even conservative estimates have to put him at world class levels.
STD Immunity: Duke is always immaculately clean. Everywhere.
Stock Animal Diet:The Horse. Duke loves his carrots, apples, and the occasional sugar cube. He is a hay connoisseur.
Straight Gay: Unless those daisy dukes give it away. ;)
Superpowerful Genetics:Justified in that his sire was immortal.
Super Toughness:Including the ability to take full-on fisticuffs, plywood, baseball bats and metal pipes to his core without even flinching. Being hit by a vehicle leaves bruises.
Super Weight: Duke qualifies as a Level 3.
Tall Dark and Handsome
Underwear of Power:Duke's signature golden thong.
With Great Power Comes Great Perks: Duke doesn't use his superhuman strength, toughness or beauty for anything other than mundane activities.
World of Cardboard Speech: Semi-averted, in that Duke has never given a speech about it, per se. However, he has commented on the fragility of most things at one point or another.
Women Prefer Strong Men: Same-sex version in most encounters with Duke.
A Man is Always Eager: Or make that "a horse is always eager."

I Have a Brother
Posted 13 years agoI'm proud to announce that Chester (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/chester) has agreed to be my furry brother. He's a very dear stallion and I love him.
Free Weight Set!
Posted 13 years agoOne of those things we do here in Minnesota: Got stuff you don't want? Put it out in front of your house on the lawn. Seriously, from May to August, you're liable to see just about anything on people's lawns - couches, overstuffed chairs, book cases, table lamps. Or, for one very lucky stallion - a set of weights!
There's a flat bench press that looks like it's (in theory) adjustable into an incline, an EZ bar, and the weights and barbell clamps to go with it all. The design is pretty archaic and the bench feels a little rickety, but nothing a little heavy duty construction tape won't fix, right?
So as soon as I get some padding for the concrete floor, I'm going to take "Daisy" for a test workout!
P.S. I have a full-sized futon in my room that I acquired the same way.

Happy Daylight Savings Time Ending!

Zenyatta
Posted 14 years agoShe's the greatest equine champion in history. She's better than Secretariat and better than Seabiscuit. She has, quite simply, never lost. Ever. Every single race Zenyatta has ever run in, she's won.
If she wins this next race, her 20th and last, she'll retire with a literal perfect sports career.
So let's raise our glasses, my fellow stallions, to the most beautiful mare the world's ever known! Go Zenyatta, go!
*Waves a little flag as well*

Would you...? (Meme)
Posted 14 years agoStolen from http://www.furaffinity.net/user/bluebane/
"If we had sex..."
1. Would you be in control?
I'm large and in charge most of the time, just cause of my sheer size and power. But I'm versatile. Show me you know how to handle the reins, and I'll let you take the lead.
2. Would you pull my hair?
Gently, sure I would. Pull it back nice and slow so I can lick that pretty neck. It's called foreplay.
3. Would you whisper in my ear?
Things that would make you harder faster than Viagra. You better believe it.
4. Would you talk dirty to me?
I'm a poet of dirty talk, babe.
5. Would you kiss me with a little tongue or a lot of tongue?
Little at first, just to tease ya, and when you're beggin for more, you get the whole thick slimy wet horse tongue in the depths of your moaning maw.
6. Would you say my name?
Course I would. I like to know who I'm fuckin!
7. Would you go down on me?
If you've never tried horse mouth around your shaft, you don't know what you're missin. It's like this muzzle was MADE for it!
8. Would you let me give you a hickie?
If it don't leave a mark, it ain't sex.
9. How many rounds would we go?
As many as you can handle with me, babe.
10. What would you wanna do afterwards?
Depends on the mood. Some lovers like to just snuggle up and fall asleep. Some like pillow talk. Some like a massage or a shower or just a movie. Some like a drink to mellow out. It's all good for me.
11. Would you take off all your clothes then take mine off slowly?
Actually I usually tend to sorta rip outta my clothes.
12. Would you lick and bite me all over?
Well, what's the point of a nice squirmin, moanin treat if you can't taste it? Heh. But seriously, horse bites can be pretty nasty, so when I do bite, it's very, very gentle love nips.
13. Would you like to play or get straight to the point?
Oh, it's all about the play with me, honey. Some times I flirt with a guy for days before we actually roll in the hay.
14. Would you want me to take my time?
Sex is like wine. The longer the build up, the sweeter the result.
15. How freaky are you, 1 - 10?
Get a new chart, honey. *Wink*
16. Would you want fast or slow?
I like it slow and powerful. I like my lovers to feel every inch of it.
17. Where would you wanna "do it"?
Against the front door, on the kitchen table, all across the couch, out on the lawn like animals in the rain, against every fuckin wall of the hallway, and that's just the foreplay.
18. Would you be loud or quiet?
The police WOULD be comin to every one of my...um...dances...if anyone bothered to complain about the noises I make.
19. Would you want me to be loud or quiet?
You won't have a choice, honey. Trust me. I'll have ya howlin to the moon.
20. Would you mind if i liked you?
Now why kinda question is that, babe? What kinda lover would I be if I didn't leave you lovin your time with me?
21. Do you like me?
If we're in the sack together, I officially like you.
22. Would you call me the next day?
Usually I don't have to. I'm the one who gets the next day call, askin for round 2..3...15...whatever it is.
23. Would you scratch me?
What with? My hooved nails?
24. Would you let me scratch you?
No pain with my pleasure, thanks.
25. Would you have to be drunk?
Only if you're ugly, and in that case I doubt we'd be talkin about this.
26. Would you date me?
To me, dates and romance are a PART of sex. They're one and the same thing. Sex can be as fleeting as the brush of a well placed hand on yours, a single kiss that lingers in your memory for days, or a shared experience of pleasure. Sex is intimacy, and not all intimacy has to be naked n' sweaty.
27. Would you do it today?
Already did. *Wink*
28. Would you do it tomorrow?
Anytime you like, hon.
29. Do you think that we would go any further then just sex?
We probably will. I'm there for my lovers as a companion, not just a sex toy.
30. Are you going to re-post these so I can answer them for you?
What, like on your profile page?
31. Would you make love to me or fuck me?
Guys who fuck are those who don't know how to make love.
"If we had sex..."
1. Would you be in control?
I'm large and in charge most of the time, just cause of my sheer size and power. But I'm versatile. Show me you know how to handle the reins, and I'll let you take the lead.
2. Would you pull my hair?
Gently, sure I would. Pull it back nice and slow so I can lick that pretty neck. It's called foreplay.
3. Would you whisper in my ear?
Things that would make you harder faster than Viagra. You better believe it.
4. Would you talk dirty to me?
I'm a poet of dirty talk, babe.
5. Would you kiss me with a little tongue or a lot of tongue?
Little at first, just to tease ya, and when you're beggin for more, you get the whole thick slimy wet horse tongue in the depths of your moaning maw.
6. Would you say my name?
Course I would. I like to know who I'm fuckin!
7. Would you go down on me?
If you've never tried horse mouth around your shaft, you don't know what you're missin. It's like this muzzle was MADE for it!
8. Would you let me give you a hickie?
If it don't leave a mark, it ain't sex.
9. How many rounds would we go?
As many as you can handle with me, babe.
10. What would you wanna do afterwards?
Depends on the mood. Some lovers like to just snuggle up and fall asleep. Some like pillow talk. Some like a massage or a shower or just a movie. Some like a drink to mellow out. It's all good for me.
11. Would you take off all your clothes then take mine off slowly?
Actually I usually tend to sorta rip outta my clothes.
12. Would you lick and bite me all over?
Well, what's the point of a nice squirmin, moanin treat if you can't taste it? Heh. But seriously, horse bites can be pretty nasty, so when I do bite, it's very, very gentle love nips.

On the Plight of Wild Horses
Posted 15 years agoI chose to make Duke from wild horse stock in order to do my small part in calling attention to the very real practice of illegally rounding up the few truly wild horses left in America.
Every stallion out there worth his hooves and anyone who's a REAL friend to us horses should at least read up on these websites, if not donate a little something to the cause:

Backstory
Posted 15 years agoDuke is a mustang who is a Shire/Clydesdale cross. He comes from wild stock, from a her of the vanishing and threatened wild horses of North America.
Duke has never met his original family and has no real knowledge of them. He was found and adopted by the alpha of a wolf pack. Raised among wolves, he thinks much more like a wolf than a horse and often feels torn between two worlds - the world he has always known and the one he longs to belong to. Horse behavior and social mores are still mostly new to him.
At 7 ft and 365 pounds, Duke is the world's biggest supermodel. He has appeared on gay adult calendars, in magazines such as Playfur, Studz and Colt. He has done photo shoots for Trojan Condums and starred in several muscle worship DVDs.
Duke is one of the top ten adult muscle models in the world, regularly earning close to one million dollars a year and commuting back and forth between Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, New York, and London. He has a private stable in rural Montana and stops over in Minnesota from time to time to see his folks in the wolf pack.
I just recently decided on a last name for my horsie. One that I think reflects his attitude and his physique. I'll now be known as Duke Titan.
Sounds a bit cliche, I suppose. But I like the ring to it.
