I actually think it's funny as fcuk and fair play to Adonis for getting in there and hijacking it all.

If it bothers you so much, why don't you alter the pictures? I thought that's what Wikipedia was for?

I agree

Why not? Someone respected with (mainstream) name recognition would be good.

People like you are the reason bodybuilding isn't mainstream. You are the kind of person who would pick art atwood over Bob Paris.

as much as adonis is a goon, and a fucked up message board character (though im sure the character seeps into his actual persona in real life because it is way more interesting than he is personally) you have to hand it to him for pulling this off.

its like cheering for the bad guy in wrestling. You love him because you hate him.

He has more recognition than you,

what does that say about your place in the hardcore bodybuilding fraternity?

You think i care about the recognition he gets from all these retards on getbig 99% of which are out of shape? As far as REAL bodybuilders, my recognition outweighs his by a mile. Nice try, in your own little world is the only place he matters more than me in bodybuilding

What's wrong with it? He looks like a bodybuilder and is one, so what harm with his photo in wiki?

I'm not the guy's biggest fan, but honestly, he's a good representation of what a natural bber can aspire to and that's the truth. I'd much rather prefer adonis' photo being there over some pro with a huge gh belly.

Well known il give him, but liked? No. Respected? Not a long shot. Im known, respected, and liked.

I dont do the whole tons of protein thing, i eat like Adonis offseason (or i should say he eats like me, iv been eating junk since i was 2 lol) im just leaner with half his effort hehe. I WILL give him props as he does lift hard and watch HOW he eats. More than i can say for you and SF.

I feel if i had a workout with him, hed push me. Now you guys.... it would be laughable

I have no objection to it. Adam obviously lifts and diets and that makes him a bodybuilder. Bodybuilders are not defined by competition. Adam's hustle got him the wikipedia gig and for that reason he deserves it. Life is what you make of it. I don't see any Pro Bodybuilders clamoring to have their photo on the wikipedia 'steroids' page.

I agree!

Well it depends...he is not a bodybuilder unless he steps on stage and competes... im not talking about the few guys on getbig, that contest is a joke. He doesnt need to be a champion, just compete. Either that, or put up a real competitive bodybuilder's picture

Goodrum competes on stage and he doesn't look remotely like a bodybuilder and if his picture was there instead of TA's then people would just laugh it.

You're known?

The users of your local neighbourhood gloryholes don't count "bro", althought I do agree, you are most likely very popular with them.

There is no jealousy here. I, and a lot of others, just believe that there is definitely someone out there who deserves the honour of being on Wikipedia a lot more than The True Adonis does.

I could do a better job! lol

This freakin guy should post under "Mcdonalds". And if he was a real man, he would post his 112 225lb deadlift up there too.

Just goes to show you all, Adam is one thing and one thing only. An attention whore, and you know what, I would be cool with it if he wasn't misguiding and lying to everyone.

Keep training.

Perhaps one day you will attain some level of success. Anything I can do to help you out, let me know.

You will make it one day. Just not today.

What company do you work with? We can surely work out. I wonder if you will be able to do the running portion of the training? Can you run still?
