Title: THERE NEEDS TO BE TWO DIVISIONS IN THE IFBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: The Squadfather on October 31, 2007, 05:41:26 PM
one for the big smooth bloated big headed refridgerators like Cutler, Martinez, Ronnie, etc. and the shredded Greek statues like this guy, it's a FUCCKING SHAME that a ripped 165 pounder like this guy can't make a dent in todays sport, this is what bodybuilding should be about right here.

This is a awsome idea, I think it would broaden the sport and make more people more interested.

Excellent post Squad.

I like this guy's frame and overall package.  I'd probably build up the arms a little more, but that's a personal preference, but everything else, looks perfect.  That is a body that would look great at the beach and great with a nice suit on or even in casual clothing.  Not to mention, that he sports a body that any woman would like.

Safe to say, this guy doesn't have to wear a damn hoodie and ridiculous clown/MC HAMMER pants topped off by ReeBok pumps everywhere he goes, making him look like an outcast.

You mean based on his conditioning right?  Muscle wise, the guy isn't looking too freaky..

Thanks Squadfather for the kind words bro! And for including me in this thread.  Much appreciate to all those who have given me the last bit of momentum to finish strong as I head to Texas.

It is a shame that guys like me cant compete. It sucks. If things work out for me in Texas and I win.  I will most likely continue competing in the NPC, so I can compete. I can always say, I earned my pro card. But, I have no chance standing next to the freeks in the pro ranks. Im not into the crazy shit to put on a shitload of size and distort my physique. I dont want to lose conditioning to gain lots of weight.  And if I walk on stage like this, I would get laughed at,  cuz im small. Weight classes would be great.

Im 5'4" and weigh about 160,  thats it. Atleast its hard, dense conditioned muscle. And all I can do is slowly gain some good quality weight. A bit more in my arms, legs and keep my conditioning. I want to  stay clean and lean in the off season. I  have a wife, kid, home, etc.

I drive a 65 mile round trip drive to work. I have a respectable job working with disabled kids, teaching P.E I work at some inner city schools.

Bodybuilding is a lifestyle for me. I train, do my cardio, carry my cooler to work, Its for fun, its to look good, its to feel good and its to compete. As I pro, i stand zero chance. If I was to win and take my pro card, my career would be over. Any suggestions?

I agree too!!

What if Rich Gaspari, Lee Labrada, Bob Paris, Francis Benfatto etc. competed today, they would go nowhere with the physiques they had in their prime. Which is a shame because quality wise they pretty much crush everyone of the top pros.

WEIGHT CLASSES!!!!

Props for the amazing shape @ 160lbs.

Post by: natural al on November 01, 2007, 12:37:47 PM
couldn't agree more, this whole bigger is better no matter what shit has to go.  Look at a guy like Jeff Long, he's pretty damn good but he'll never, ever do shit on a pro stage due to the fact that he weighs about 200lbs-I don't know what he weighs but you get the idea.

Same with a lot of guys.  In the 70's the biggest guys weighed what?  250lbs and you split that up with over 200 and under 200, now the biggest guys are weighing 30-50lbs more and there's no split...c'mon.

Hey why cant it be the same as the world champs or at least have 3 or more classes- maybe just 3?...

then we cater for the behemoths, the under 200s, and the short guys..

then fans can take their pick and get more entertainment for their olympia dollar.

i think just under and over 200 class is too coarse a breakdown these days...but im not talking 6 classes either- to fine a breakdown...

somewhere in the middle WITHOUT an overall- they NEVER get that right-its just too hard to weight height and weight differences with appearance.

You look great, bro.  Yours is the look that I wish I had (albeit a bit stretched out, I'm 6'2"!).  David Dearth once said that turning pro as anything below Light-Heavy does only one thing.  End your career! 

Tragic.

I would love to see weight classes for the pros.

Still, guys like Faildo have made a career as amateurs.  Who knows.

Best of luck to you in Dallas.

No, I'm saying Alex shouldn't quit his daytime job as a schmoe photographer, and post some of those pics he shots for a living. 8)

in my Opinion, it's up to the Fans. the fans love the mass monsters. we still approved them. Mass monsters still reign supreme, GH Guts are going nowhere fast . The smaller guys will keep getting screwed. Oh well.

wow3 i actually agree with squad.

but you know if they started doing it people still wouldnt be happy. people would still bnitch and complain about results and ask for another class.

the judges need to get their heads out of their asses and start rewarding the best "overall package"...not the biggest...not the freakiest......not the current champ...but the best overall physique. do this and it will go along way to making the sport more legit and gain more viewers
