Bwahahahhahahahahaha!!!!!
I have witnessed the ILS on many occasions. Have always got a kick out of that. Especially when it is some dork who is 6 foot and a buck seventy, and he pretends to have to turn sideways to walk through a doorway cause he is so buffed out. Tee hee.
Now, that being said, I was accused of ILS in my gym last week by a fellow lifter (who is a friend, so no biggie) cause I had just finished doing 4 sets of chins followed immediately by 4 sets of Rows. If a person does have big lats and big arms, they are going to get some "flair" whether they like it or not.
I had no idea this was going on, until I got ragged on, and I nearly got cramps from trying to keep my body from doing this afterwards. So lets be fair guys.
Stick people walking like this is ridiculous, but some folks can't help it, and will even develop a slouch to avoid being thought of as a person with ELS (Exaggerated Lat Syndrome) or ILS (Inflated Lat Syndrome). This is truly sad, when someone like needsize who can't help this condition after working back is embarassed by his big lats cause a bunch of idiot kids go around giving muscular guys a bad name.
The only thing I ever have heard/seen that is funnier than ILS was this guy who I went to school with who was a non-traditional student who was telling me that he had to quit working out cause his thighs got so hugely muscled that he was wearing out his jeans.
Try to hear that one while drinking without shooting pepsi through your nose, and while trying to keep a straight face. And the dude was about 40, looked like he could not find the gym, smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish, and probably could not do 5 pushups without a break. People are hilarious.
