he's probably 5'2 and therefore... not a threat.

His left pec looks strange...like it has synthol in it near the deltoid tie in......But overall he had great shape and size....

Does look good - especially in the side chest, but the back isn't great and you're right, he's probably too short to make a decent impact on the pro stage.

shelf the baby idea ...(bro your time is long overdue to be a PRO!)
put 100 % into ur training and diet (i remember a few/many years ago i saw you in miami? i think,
u were a personal trainer and u were tiny!!,dont go back to that!

Anyone who puts off a family to pursue a trophy is a little bit crazy.   You do know that after age 35, the chance of birth defects go up greatly, don't you?  Putting off a family to compete in a rigged NPC contest...wow...

dude, you're kidding, right? Trying to "get our goat"?

No one with half a brain really buys into the "bodybuilding dream".  The smart ones use BBing as a vehicle for success in other areas.   Modeling, endorsements, etc.  Or as a side thing, like Jack London, who earns more from portfolio mgmt in a year than most top IFBB guys make in a decade.

BBing is a very unhealthy and biased sport, and basing your life on it is setting yourself up for a major letdown.  It's a great supplemental thing- but making it #1 is a horrible move.

Maybe you're not seeing the opportunity cost.  When a man undertakes a run at a contest like that, his whole life is restructured and has to focus upon this.  He can't be 100% at work, at school, at home, etc.  He's taking risks he doesn't now.  He's using time, money, and other resources that could be going in directions more likely to pay off in the long run.

If anyone here has ever sat thru a wife's pregnancy while on a precontest diet, please share your tales.  It has to suck.

f**k everybody ...............I SAY GO FOR IT CHIC!

Not all dreams are realized.  He has one child, which makes me think what he's already been through puts BBing in perspective.  If he had to tell us right now what his *dreams/aspirations* are, I'm guessing the first 10 things out his mouth would involve family/career/longterm success.  

I mean, I love to see the feelgood stories come true.  But drying out for a show could take 20 years life off those kidneys.  Getting busted picking up test/deca for the show could be a lengthy trial/short sentence.  IMO, going "all out to win nationals" for shows is something that crazy 25-year olds should do.  Any man who is 35+ with a family and a set of responsibilities that does it is seriously unbalanced.  

IMO, Jorge has the most capital/worth from the fact that he had so much potential and still *could* do it.  He'd only lose by making a comeback. He does need a stronger online presence to make the most from his endorsement package.  He does need a more visible website and recognizability among today's youth in order to command more $ the next time he sits down to negotiate with his company.  

He just needs the right guy to help him out ;)

lol!  Notice how 240 starts out by dissing Jorge then as soon as Jorge shows up, he starts licking sack?

And by better, you mean 'worse'?

Jorge then arrives:

dude has aged gracefully, we gotta give him that!

And of course, I reviewed Jorge's DVD.   ;D

Chic..welcome to the board. I too am from Miami and was trained years ago by Dodd Romero, always had great things to say about you as I believe there may have been a pic or 2 on the Paramount Gym Walls.

In case you haven't figured it out 240 is our resident trouble maker......

Jorge,

did you evere workout at a gym in warren michigan called the muscle connection?  this was probably about 1990 or so..I know it's kind of a lame question but I was working out and thought I was pretty good but there was this kid there and when I saw him I almost shit myself..then a couple weeks later I saw that you won the teen nationals or something...I swear it was you...

Man, that was a long time a go...I don't think I've ever been to Michigan..

240 is why I come here.. He is one funny guy...

When 240 chooses to be funny he can be funny, but his true passion is causing trouble and disquising that with a "life lesson".  It's a simple formula really:

Take someone with bb potential.

Post a simple insult (sparking the fire).

Wait for the wave of challenging posts.

Toss in a few more insults (gas on fire).

Wait for an even larger wave of challenging posts.

Toss in a quick post or two kissing the ass of the initial person he insulted to give balance (or a quick shift in thread tone depending on the direction the topic takes) to his arguement (adds a hint of confusion).

Wait for the wave of challenging posts.

Here is where 240 gauges the direction he'll now adopt for the remainder the thread (and many others that will always follow): option one, a barrage of attacks via morphed pics/one-liners/b.s. websites dedicated to the "victim"/fictional stories/etc....(his method of choice); option two, the "life lesson" is laid out for the Getbig world to understand (usually a mixture of family values/novice business advice/the "a-z" of the bb lifestyle).

Wait for the final wave of challenging posts.

240 posts his final comments in the thread leaving his mark as the primary antagonist for inevitable/unwarranted future attacks or as the "wise Getbig martyr teaching all invaluable lessons in life".


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What's great is that he uses the same formula over and over and it never gets old!!  AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!!

There's no need to prove yourself.. you've gone that route and you're pretty much a celeb in the industry!  There are others (pro bb'ers) who prolly wanna be in ur shoes with a family and business but can't have em but you do!  Family comes first... bb'ing comes and goes but your wife and kids will always be there til the end!

Peace to er'body!

I think jorge looks fantastic , beautifull lines and balance , nice structure , I bet if you ran a survey out in the "real world' and got people to choose either jorges bod or ronnies bod on whom they would like to look like , jorge would come out tops by a mile !!!

Thats because jorges physique is more acheivable for most thus making it more desireable , plus it still has that look of athletic ablity mixed with some serious work, girls like that far and above a overmuscled look.

You look fantastic jorge and dont compromise your shape and balance for that of a judge , well done you can be proud !!!

Just like I mentioned earlier..............the IFBB should change their judging criteria if they do not want professional bodybuilding to eventually fade into oblivion. Guys like Dugdale, Betancourt, Jones are much more marketable than the 275-300lb freaks. Not only are their physiques more marketable, they seem to have their heads on straight too. Dugdale is a successful businessman and father of 3........and ACTS LIKE ONE.  Jose seems to be doing the same. I believe Richard Jones is in school getting his MBA. Not only are they great bodybuilders, they seem to be good people as well. These guys represent bodybuilding well.
