Title: Sadly, it never happened
Post by: Howard on November 10, 2010, 11:43:42 AM
When getbig and other bodybuilding forums were launched I had high hopes.
Actual pro bodybuilders would interact with avg guys like me.
Bodybuilding fans would be able meet on line and then meet in person at big contests, etc.

That never happened. The forums became a mass of faceless characters, bent on making the forums, virtual Jerry Springer events.
EVERY forum evolved into some version of this. The pros stopped getting involved due to the silly atmosphere.


Sadly, what could have been a wonderful, positive resource, became a joke.
Now the forums are still good for a laugh and killing time, but that is about it.
Such is life. ::)

Howie, you need to lower your standards.  Oh, wait.....

Actual pro bodybuilders would interact with avg guys like me.

You interact with Bob Chick, why keep beating a dead horse?  Trust me, you don't want to interact with the rest of them, most can barely put together a coherent sentence.  Bob is probably one out of a group of three pros that can actually hold an intellectual conversation for longer than five seconds.

Bodybuilding fans would be able meet on line and then meet in person at big contests, etc..

Creepy Howard, just creepy...

That never happened. The forums became a mass of faceless characters, bent on making the forums, virtual Jerry Springer events.  EVERY forum evolved into some version of this. The pros stopped getting involved due to the silly atmosphere.

What do you expect Howard?  Grown adults with actual careers, families and aspirations don't really interest themselves much with professional bodybuilding.  The vast majority of fans of this sport consist of the same fans that you would find at a comic book convention or a rehab center catering to high school physics teachers with an inclination towards questionable interests (i.e. see Howard's comments regarding the "if there is grass on it" approach to women).

Sadly, what could have been a wonderful, positive resource, became a joke.

Resource for what Howard?  Since Arnold's prime, bodybuilding techniques have not evolved.  There are only so many ways you can work your biceps and the huge gap, dare I say black hole in between topics, needs to be filled with some form of comic relief.
 

I don't know Howard, you are starting to worry me.  I think you should get a boyfriend and spend some time away from the boards.

What are all these blue stars for then ?


really though ... you sound like you desire close relationships with these guys .. do you think message boards that pertain to music have members craving for Adam Lambert and Justin Bieber to become part of their forums for some exclusive conversations and hope to set up meetings ?

Go to MD...

Anyways what would you possibly want to ask a pro bb? "hey bro what's your training routine like?" "how many grams of protein do you eat a day? "how do you get that swole outer tricep?"  ::)

No. Most people just wants to ask them for their cycle... which they wont answer anyways for obvious reasons.

Your hopes were misguided from day one.  Remember, a lot of insecure guys are fans of bodybuilding.  This sets the stage for envy and acting out.  A lot of these guys are young; this exacerbates the problem.

In order for a forum to succeed as you envisioned it, there would have to be one or more filters. For example the forum could not be anonymous.  A better possible filter: the posters would have to pay to participate (competing pros could post for free).  Charging people to participate would filter out a lot of kids who would not want to part with money they do not have.  It wouldn’t have to be expensive but enough to keep the kids out.  Of course, many gym rats might be disinclined to cough up the dough as well.  :-\

Ah well, as you say… sadly, it never happened.

You should start your own board. I'm sure it will attract a lot of pro bodybuilders who would relish the opportunity to "interact" with average guys like you. "High hopes" will always win out in the end.

That's what I was thinking..

There's nothing that a professional bodybuilder would like to do more than to take time out of their busy (Sleep, Eat, Workout, Inject, Sleep, etc..) schedule to speak to average folks like Howard regarding training and whether or not bodybuilding has been tainted by the presence of anabolics.

9 out of 10 IFBB pros are incapable of formulating coherent thoughts or, better yet, expressing themselves through the written word.  

Just because Bob Chick and Shawn Ray are the exception in that they both are able to read, write and participate in the forums, doesn't mean that the rest are capable of doing the same.

In my experience when dealing with these "pros", I've noticed that most can barely keep a thought going long enough to actually provide any meaningful insight into whatever is being discussed.

Howard, if you want training advice from the pros, ask their trainers, because most pros don't follow their own routines, they pay for a trainer to give them that.

If you want to know what cycle they are running, ask their suppliers, because most pros just do whatever their pharmaceutical providers have suggested is in style with their counterpart pros.

Everything else is just (Sleep, Eat, Poo, Inject), well, pretty easy to pick up....

As long as he puts sth in his mouth that makes him STFU, it's fine with me.

Howard is a annoying pos, a grown man who is as naive as a kid and also as insecure about his sexuality. He has been following BB or all his life, telling himself it's a sport and that he isn't homosexual himself.

He needs to man up, put a cock in his ass and one in his mouth and realize it wasn't about bodybuilding from the start.

All true , but I was thinking that if a fan was polite and brief, it would be a good grassroots way for a pro to build a fan base.

I was a member of a running blog where a lot of us actually met up at big marathon / or 10k types events.
The vast majirty here don't want to come out of hiding for whatever reason.

Howard for some reason you remind me of this guy on YouTube who would get young, muscular, ripped up black dudes to "pose" for him on his shitty camera. Even though he was fatter version of Al Sharpton, it was the Ultimate schmoemanship that was disturbing. You don't do that with your HS students, do you?

LOL< I knew that was going to part of the ripping I would take on this issue  :D

Ok , let's get serious for a minute. For example:
Wouldn't it be cool, for fans of Jay ( or any top pro) to meet at the Olympia  and cheer him on as a group.
Most other pro sports have that and it is about being a fan of the sport, NOT sex.
Of course that would mean, you would have to be YOURSELF not some virtual fictional character on a forum.

Now, by being myself here , I got to meet and talk with actual pros like Bob Chick, Shawn, Ray, etc

Obviously the majority of silly and negative posters don't go to actual contests and are not real fans of bodybuilding.
Sadly while some call me a loser with no life hehehe. I exist and have an actual REAL bodybuilding life. I am NOT just some heckler on a forum.
I had the balls to be me and not hide behind a cpu...for better or worse , I am , who I really am.

Ok , let's get serious for a minute. For example:
Wouldn't it be cool, for fans of Jay ( or any top pro) to meet at the Olympia  and cheer him on as a group.

lol,,

it would be the same for a Hollywood celeb or anyone popular within their industry. The internet is bombarded with idiots that can say whatever they want without having to pay for it. It's a cowards haven

Thanks for the  advice GH15, but I am on HRT in the form of one prescribed pack of Androgel which keeps my test levels in the "ideal male" range of the mid 600's mg/dl. While a little bit "extra vit S" but help, I won't do it now , as I will be 52 in a couple weeks.
I will compete "as is" in a regional show next April -May and again in the fall.
Thanks again for the supoortive tips and advice, I appreciatte it more than you realize.

When getbig and other bodybuilding forums were launched I had high hopes.
Actual pro bodybuilders would interact with avg guys like me.
Bodybuilding fans would be able meet on line and then meet in person at big contests, etc.

That never happened. The forums became a mass of faceless characters, bent on making the forums, virtual Jerry Springer events.
EVERY forum evolved into some version of this. The pros stopped getting involved due to the silly atmosphere.


Sadly, what could have been a wonderful, positive resource, became a joke.
Now the forums are still good for a laugh and killing time, but that is about it.
Such is life. ::)

look, there is only so much to discuss in regards to bodybuilding. at some point you end up discussing the same shit over and over.

as for pros, plenty of pros are on getbig and post and/or read, they may not do it under their real names but they are here.

I try to lay off Howard. To me, he doesn't seem like a bad guy and I try to be tolerate of a lot of the idiosyncrasies of people here because this is after all a bodybuilding board. An increasingly strange and creepy subculture.

But this just really made me cringe

What would be the overwhelming interest in interacting with some drug abusing mess, who can barely construct a coherant sentence?

What type of constructive advice could anybody in the industry give to anybody?

you are a fucking low life schmoe and this little utopia that you had envisioned is a straight up fag joke.

You interact with Bob Chick, why keep beating a dead horse?  Trust me, you don't want to interact with the rest of them, most can barely put together a coherent sentence.  Bob is probably one out of a group of three pros that can actually hold an intellectual conversation for longer than five seconds.

I think we have a winner here....This post is spot on.

 A better possible filter: the posters would have to pay to participate (competing pros could post for free).  Charging people to participate would filter out a lot of kids who would not want to part with money they do not have.  It wouldn’t have to be expensive but enough to keep the kids out.  Of course, many gym rats might be disinclined to cough up the dough as well.  :-\

Ah well, as you say… sadly, it never happened.


Yes, and maybe a live video chat where pros could pose and take suggestions from other board members.  This could really be quite a resource for BBing "enthusiasts"

No harm done.  If you want to spend your spare time "thinking" "considering" and "figuring" out who I find attractive instead scoring with your woman of that's your business.  ::)

why is this guy complaining?

I mean, I"m on here and i'm a pretty important dude.  I once met JJ from "Goodtimes"

That's funny, I just saw JJ at the Golds Gym where I train a couple of weeks ago. Living on the road has not been good for that dude.

I generally agree.  However; it's a reflection of what the active members want.  It's still possible to take positives away from this kind of forum if you're patient and amused enough to wade through the shit show.  When ya keep gettin' pelted with shitballs, ya gotta get a shitbat.

In the realm of Gay, you have two schools of thought.

First you have the flamboyantly gay men, which are known as fags.

You also have the gay men that enjoy having sex with other men, but are more refined and low key, those are simply known as homos.

Salvatore and I are clearly fags.  We enjoy having sex with other men and also frolic around town with no worries as to who is looking.

I am not so sure whether or not Bay is truly gay or just another black man having fun on the side.  In the African American community they call it being on the "downlow".  Instances of this can be seen within many black folks, whereby a married (Straight) man tends to wander about and have sexual flings with other men, but not openly.  Picture a black man that gets incarcerated for 10+ years and out of mere necessity has to resort to having a bottom bitch in jail, but once he is released into society he reverts back to being 100% straight and even proceeds to get married with a woman and have kids, while never touching a man again.

There are more gay men here.

MadMax is probably a bigger fag than I am, but he barely posts here.

being gay is awesome because we you guys can use the word "fag" to talk about other gay guys but get pissed at straight guys who use that term

"That is OUR word"

Bay is a gay dude but he is one of those non-flaming types that fights his inner diva and has to butch it up to make up for the flaming stereo type

You mean traveling to meet other online friends, color coordinating your "House of Pain" jumpsuits, purchasing VIP tickets, getting Idrise Ward El's autograph on a glossy 8x10 at the "expo", then squealing your heart out as a group for Jay as he shakes his ass to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" isn't a heterosexual activity, dk?
