donovan piscopo on chonkyness?

[dustyassrocketswitchv]

That boy getting rounder and rounder, skating unaffected…maybe a little more weight to throw around is helping? He hasn’t ever really been too much of a jumper…

Gaining weight when coming off pills makes sense. Got sober a few times (alcohol) and body was eating like fucking mad to make up for the lack of dopamine intake. I assume it’s the same thing.

True words about AA though, was on the same plane as the man and he’s a big body for sure. Less fat, and more of just body type. He’s huge, make no mistake. Built like a linebacker.


Good on Donovan for kicking the habit, if that’s the case.

I think most pro skaters are rail-thin twinks when you see them in real life so when someone is relatively normal sized they look fat comparatively

I read somewhere that he got clean off pills and gained weight as a result of sober living. Not sure if it’s true, but if it is, I back it 100%, really hope homie is healthy and happy. I’m around 3 months sober from booze and coke and have gained like 15 pounds, so could be true.

You gain weight from alcohol / coke withdrawal? Is it cause you have a bigger appetite after quitting?
Most of my friends that binge drink and do the sniff look like bloated corpses.

Depends on how you do it.

I did it all day every day. Usually 5 out of 7 days in a week. When I was on it absolutely no appetite so I ate nothing.

Disgusting way to go through life.


I used to do at least a gram of super good coke and drink between 6 to 15 beers every day, and it literally turned my digestive system into rot. When your body’s healing and you eat three meals a day like a normal person, you’re starving system holds on to extra. For the first year eat whatever the fuck you want and getting into shape will come naturally afterwards.

Serious question; how did you get the money for a gram of chop a day? - That’s $2100 a week here in oz!

I suppose you also regain a lot of muscle when you get sober, this adds up some visual weight but the only effect on skating will usually be good.

No adult under 200 pounds should be in a chonky category

Could not agree more. People act like foy is a miracle (as if bam never existed) because he isn't a malnourished alcoholic like everyone else. It's especially absurd when you can squat 400lbs but some kid at the skatepark is astonished you can boost frontside airs because youre "so heavy". God forbid a man have some connective tissue between his bones

How many of these dudes do you see skating rails like foy though? Most guys skating big rails are thin as paper, probably helps when you're being tossed like a bag of potatoes and getting sacked all the time.
