Because nobody watches it besides this small bb cult followingThere is money that can be added from the sponsors. Kids still aspire to look like Superman or the Rock or the latest, Muscled, action hero.
Cricket doesn't have much pricemoney either for that reason
I don't know how most of these guys afford all the drugs and food to get to competition level in the first place... ???

This.
And additionally, no one is making their living as a competitor just like no one is making a living trying to become Miss America. Pageantry is a hobby. Just like building model ships and kayaking. You might enter a contest and win prize money for being really fucking good at your hobby, but that's definitely not why you do it.
Meanwhile, why do you give a shit? You don't even lift.
he spends days trying to think of interesting threadsSad but true. He could double his income by entering a pro show!
including searching other sites
this is his profession
Sad but true. He could double his income by entering a pro show!You know what.....
...which would require lifting. Nevermind.
Mrs. Doubtfire trying to troll an on topic thread. This guy is a mod on multiple forums here.Answering your question is trolling? Okay Jabba, I'll leave your shitty thread alone.
Ron created these monsters.
Let's stick to the topic at hand.
You know what.....Aww, we agree on something! cute.
I will give you a genuine fuck you. I don't bother you at all.
You cling to the ball hairs of certain posters here. Besides, I think you are ugly as fuck.
Real Talk.
I dont see the point of any pro trying to compete in anything other then the Olympia or Arnold Classic. The promoters of these small shows obviously make a decent profit, as they continue to hold the contests year after year.
I am assuming that the only reason most pros compete in these "small shows" is to qualify for the Olympia, or to get a name.
$10,000 dollars (before taxes) for first place, is just pathetic.
The sponsors should be to blame as well. All of these tightwad supplement companies need to put a little more back into the industry that makes them.
Who is the current rep for the pros?
There needs to be a minimum of 25k for first place, in all IFBB sanctioned, pro contests.
Aww, we agree on something! cute.
Aww, we agree on something! cute.I can lose weight. You would need a face transplant. :-*
Lets get one thing straight here. I created an on-topic, bodybuilding thread on the G&O.TO stay on topic..your favorite bodybuilder shawn ray won it too..
Bigmc cleary tried to troll me (didn't bite)
Lobstah blindly agrees with bigmc's post like a moron (She is a born follower)
Why can't grown adults keep a normal thread on topic?
I try to stay away, but you idiots keep pulling me back in.
Shizzo making a legit bodybuilding post which a lot of people have brought up before. Vince McMahon was the only one who ever gave Bodybuilders a chance to make a living by training and competing. Prize money in the lower tier shows is a fucking joke.he did,but it was too circus wwf/wwe like,the characters,the announcers were embarrassing..the guys tried they really did,most turned there back early in there ifbb or recent pros and few veterans careers to go 4 it....ifbb was running strong then..best of the best..

it was a genuine answerNo bigmc I don't search other boards for ideas. I am only a member on Muscle Weekly (I think) and that site sucks.
are you saying you dont search other boards for ideas of what to post
how about your day in history thread its a straght copy and paste from another site
i wasnt insulting you
your over agressive response to lobstah and name calling of me is basically because its the truth
hope that helps

My History thread is absolutely from History.com. I never claimed otherwise. The only thing I do is pick between the 20+ stories they give you for each day.
All I am saying, is to grow up sometimes and know when to troll, and when to have a normal discussion.
How long has it been since I quoted a post from you?
It seems like you are here to start shit.
Says the overtanned, bent nosed loser.
Have you graduated past the 10 pound dumbells bro?
how would i knowYou know what, I didn't see Lobstah's comment. She did throw the first puch.
i was talking to lobstah and you jumped in a like a fat tantrum throwing piece of excrement like you normally do
i wasnt addressing you
just felt i should correct your stupidity
maybe one day you will listen
and grow as a person
you are the most limited individual in terms of intellect and ability to debate
that ive ever come across on the internet
its that simple
i find it hard to believe someone like you exists
hope that helps
You just got demolished by the only pro on here. Plus she's a girl. HAHAHAHA!I actually never read that post from her. But I have actually answered that question multiple times before.

Shizzo you are the last person to call anybody ugly, your face is disgusting.It's like comparing Richard Gere with a Preying Mantis.
You know what.....Dude pay her no mind. She comes out here with her airhead routine trying to get attention. Not only that, she's a rugmuncher as well.
I will give you a genuine fuck you. I don't bother you at all.

Face it Chiro, you are the stereotypical bodybuilder.
All drugs ( hence the 10 pound dumbells)
You are a follower.
You are not intelligent.
Look at 99.9% of the richest, and most successful people in the world.
They can lift 10 pound dumbells too.
Chrio is also on his way to a pretty decent career. And the way he is doing it is definitely not the work of a follower.Please elaborate on your assumptions of Chiro.

I can confirm this also. But I doubt either of us is going to start telling you about Chiro IRL.So you can confirm that you know Chiro in real life?
There is money that can be added from the sponsors. Kids still aspire to look like Superman or the Rock or the latest, Muscled, action hero.
The top supplement companies (and the IFBB) are making money hand over fist.
Time to give some of it back.
So are the oil companies, and they aren't rushing to give any back. It's one of the downfalls of capitalism, greed.Oil companies? IFBB?
chiro is going places 8)This is a quality post. :D

Fyi, Brady is not in decline. Your guy is Eli Manning.
I would keep quiet right now.
Newsflash: Neither will win shit this year.What did you contribute to this thread?

You are a mod that preaches about staying on topic.
Do you have anything add to the original topic?
god damnit why am i agreeing with shizzo rigfht now two times in a rowNo. Giants own the Patriots.
I am a giants fan
FUCK the giants. Eli manning is a garbage QB whos bread and butter is the little red zone floater pass to a tall WR like plaxico when he had him, or someone who can jump or trick the corner (nicks couldn't do this. Cruz could)
Again i am a huge giants fan and appreciate what manning did for us i appreciate it all
but he is what i call a CLUTCH QB. meaning he is a mental wreck. he can't get his shit together until the last moment when he pulls out these miraculous 4th quarters and everyone says SO CLUTCH
but everybody forgets he was melting down for the first 3 quarters and making that dumb face
i wish we drafted manziel (i would have traded up to grab him). we need a FULL rebuild now. eli also could benefit from a change of scenery i believe. he has a lot of potential. of his draft class, he will always be knowsn as the best QB but Rivers really is
However to end this, BRADY is NOT in decline
That dude is not teh reasong they lost to miami week 1
BRADY is one of the top 5 qbs of ALL time and he is STILL IN HIS PRIME. he never relied on speed. he relied on accuracy, IQ, pocket management, reads (audibles),. IQ again (pump fakes, look offs)., bellichik and his synergy, and he always had that gorgeous long ball (nobody forget 2007 ever. he can stilll do that. who can catch it? aareon hernandez was showing signs he could. PIP. groink can't too slow).
so as a giants fan lemme shut this down now. brady owns manning
pats own giants
giants SUCK worse than kailet's get back on topic tho. olympia is coming up and i am in a frenzy about it. not a gay frenzy, but i am doing more cocaine than usual

I am trying to keep this thread bodybuilding related.
I am fighting against the people who could care less.
Junior take note:is your goal to be popular on a internet messageboard for bbing?
You dont have to make demands to be a good poster.
You just have to have the talent, to go along with the flow of a given thread.
You don't need shock value.
Brady QB rating has been declining since 2010. I live right next to foxboro stadium and watch most of the games since most up here are rabid fans. Brady is not the same, he misses spots, and is getting gradually more gun shy in the pocket. This is routinely discussed on sports radio and the fans see it.Brady has no interceptions.
Brady owns Manning on career stats. Manning owns Brady head to head in Superbowls.
Giants are bad this year, but it's irrelevant to the conversation.
It's you against the world apparently. ::)So a mod on a bodybuilding board is hating on bodybuilding?
Brady has no interceptions.
Missed a few throws against Miami that a prime Brady would make. This isn't debatable for anyone who watched it.I watch all Patriots games.
And, yeah, QB rating declining over four years is still true.
Don't care if you make fun of Eli, recent struggles etc....I'd take it if it was from a team that won within the last decade, but not a Pats fan.
shizzo i agree, good thread/good postDon't forget about guy's like me, Howard, Wes, N.J., Coach, etc. Clinging on to the past. 70's 80's and 90's Bodybuilding, when you went into the gym and had camradarie with all the brothers in iron. I miss those days now it sucks. Fuck 24 hour Fitness and Planet Fitness and their ilk. Don't forget to watch Eagles and Colts tonight :)
the issue is that bodybuilding has dug itself into this niche, gay trench
and the people "behind the scenes" (as i've heard you say before re: get big's movers and shakers and your interactions with them via AOL AIM) who run the ifbb truly don't care about money. They make some money in fact, but for the mass majority they are mega schmoes
this is why kai keeps on trucking; why wolf's closest to touching #1 was 2007 (not last year); why they appeal to an all gay crowd (mostly, except about half of get big. i really believe that. that the only heterosexual super fans of bodybuyilding reside here, and we all have some other issues, like shizzo you are an alcoholic and have parinoid delusions, i am a sociopath, junior is a fantasist (in the best possible way, he actually does make a lot of money and wasn't born iwth a silver spoon but he's a fantasist still) --I love all of you at the end of hte day and dig into people for fun, but we're all fucked up here.
when the IFBB phases kai out
appeals to middle east by giving teh gift placements they gave to Kai over to rami
and really embraces phil and secondly Wolf while he's still competing and treats them as the FACES of bodybuilding
and changes the thongs back to trunks a la 74 etc
then we have a solid start
oh and all of the people who run IFBB need to be replaced because you shouldn't be able to suck a few dicks and get a 2nd place year after year when you look like ABSOLUTE FUKCING SHIT LIKE KAI DOES.
EVEN IN 2012 I DON'T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK HE LOOKS LIKE GOD DAMNED SHIT. NO FLOW. NO FUCKING FLOW. WTF. NO TRAPS. THAT HEAD.
THAT HEAD!
THAT HEAAASAAD!
THE PONY TAIL!
WTF!
he's a predator
he's "the predator"!
the sexual predator
better give him SECOND! cause he let me,. MR IFBB EXECUTIVE, face fuck him ! and kai enjoyed itFUCKKKKK KAI
however we could just not do anything and BB will not exist in 10 years. rami will take it to middle east. Watch. the $ is there. he is a celebrity there. watch.
FUCK KAI
This.

Meanwhile, why do you give a shit? You don't even lift.
I watch all Patriots games.
Quarterback play is mostly determined by the effectiveness of the O-line.
They traded Logan Mankins (I was pissed) and are dealing with compatibility issues.
Brady has pure talent. Eli was lucky.
Like I said in the thread before Vince had the vision/dream/love/money to take Bodybuilding mainstream. But it all went away with the Zahorian trial.Bodybuilding will never be mainstream as long as anabolic steroids are illegal.
Bodybuilding will never be mainstream as long as anabolic steroids are illegal.When I say mainstream I mean similar to Pro Wrestling. Certainly not like mainstream sports, but bigger than it is now, with more exposure to the public. Vince had the juice to do it. I agree with the steroid issue, but the general public has to know steroids are rampant in the NFL, but it doesn't stop them from watching.
Bodybuilding is a cult following.
However, Crossfit is proving that people are interested in fitness.
Is it bodybuilding vs. Fitness now?

;D.........your logic is flawed and not only that but you have no idea what you are talking about.
True, but we need to evolve a little. I completely understand why NPC competitors lose money trying to gain a pro card, but why do average pros compete for a shit purse?
Is that the definition of the addiction these people have? Willing to lose money just to step on stage?
he did,but it was too circus wwf/wwe like,the characters,the announcers were embarrassing..the guys tried they really did,most turned there back early in there ifbb or recent pros and few veterans careers to go 4 it....ifbb was running strong then..best of the best..

THE IRON MAN PRO RAN FOR DECADES and was one of the best lit /stage shows/photographs were world class from this show and it was all of 10,000,,every pro wanted the title tho.v taylor.wheeler,cormier,cutler,to name a few won it many times...
Jesus again agreeing with Shinzo
I have to say this guy knows his football and basketball as well as anyone
And who in their right mind here is really saying Eli doofus manning owns Brady?
If not for a miracle catch Brady has 2 titles as is talked about as GOAT now
He will b eventually
Eli hit the jackpot . Straight up lucked out by good coughlin coaching
Excellent O line yet young
Plaxico
Etc
Helmet catch
Etc
That ridiculous 2 point conversion
Etc
Eli is not even best QB from his draft class
Rivers is
Brady is possibly GOAT QB
But honestly Olympia is around corner let's focus on this
I added my opinion before
People began saying
"Eli>Brady" ???
(Written by a lifelong giants fan and a realist)
someone actually asked Bill Belichick whether the "quarterback position would be evaluated" this week.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24731866/comparing-tom-bradys-bad-start-to-other-afc-east-qbsWe will see this sunday night. The Patriots play the Bengals at home.

We will see this sunday night. The Patriots play the Bengals at home.
The Pats were embarrassed by the Chiefs. I fully expect them to gut it up, and beat the Bengals.
Will that solve the problems? No, but it will show people that they need to calm down.
Prize money means less to many people than narcissistic gratification.Agreed, and guilty as charged (now if only I could manage to win one or the other...)
With that in mind, it is easy to see why shows offer such shitty prize money.
Because they can offer less.
