The Legend of DickNeck

About

Dick Neck is a photoshop exploitable that stems from a profile photo uploaded by a user named Dr. Foreman on Newgrounds forum in April 2009. Bearing a shirtless photo of himself and his daily workout routines in details, Dr. Foreman asked for others’ feedback on his physique. And for those familiar with Newgrounds community, proper feedback was the last thing he was going to receive.

Origins

The original message, titled “The Beast Awakens”

Abs finally showing thru.

Just wanted to mark my 2nd year process. Not really looking for tips.

My lifts:
benchpress = 195 × 1 (over 280 if its a machine bench)
squat = 215 × 1
deadlift = 225 × 1

I work out 2-3 times a week depending on a schedule (im very busy with school otherwise, math undergrad at a UofWaterloo). If its 2 days then its sat+sun. If its 3 days its mon+wed+fri. I work around 3 major lifts, ie squat + something 1 day, bench + something following day, deadlift + something day after. I do almost no arm work since its hard enough to squeeze all the major compound lifts in 1 week.

I basically do only the following: horizontal/verctical push, horizontal/vertical pull, squat or variation, deadlift or variation.

Usually its more like :

Monday: Squat + chin-ups + dumbbell military press, 8 sets each
Wednesday: bench press + chest supported rowing 10-12 sets each
Friday: Deadlift + shoulder/trap work + maybe arms (if not dead by then)

GL and gimme your feedback. No haters plz.

Following the original post, another user “TheSouthernTower” left a reply comment saying:

Dude, you have a f*cking giraffe neck.

This reference to the OP’s strikingly long neck was quickly noticed by others including the forum moderators, particularly “poxpower”, who began dumping shoops that made fun of DrForeman’s large neck. The rest was history. But the term “Dick Neck” wasn’t really introduced until the third page of the thread, where another BBS moderator, EyeLovePoozy posted:

Slam shut thy knob slobber, miscreant. Dick Neck created this thread looking for attention. He just got the wrong kind is all, haha.

Thread Status: Locked

The thread was later locked on May 1st, 2009 by EyeLovePoozy because of the “noobs” ruining the joke. The thread itself is now comedic gold of newgrounds and a meme soon to be heard all over the internet.

What Not To Post

While the Legend of Dick Neck is regarded by Newgrounds users as an epic thread to be remembered, it also serves as a cautionary tale for others to take another consideration before uploading photos of themselves on the web.
