ROFLMAO OMMMMFFFG!!!!

The Light Heavies are now filled with Midgets.  AGAJGASDGJasflk;jfasf


I noticed that Dave Palumbo even said that you were "too tall" for this class but had the best structure by far.

What the shit is this coming to when the Light Heavies is nothing more than Oompa Loompa Land.  Have they all broken out of Willy Wonka`s Chocolate Factory and joined the NPC? 

[Palpatine Q]

I'd take the slut's advice here. Face it, pro bodybuilding even if you are successful is just not a healthy or fulfilling way to live. You don't even look good to the vast majority of the normal people out there. And you don't feel good. And you're just slowly killing yourself. If you're that much into your body do something with it that has a broad appeal. It will be easier to make money, you'll feel good about yourself and feel healthy -- the pros so far out weigh the cons.

I had a friend back in the late 1980s early 90s who use to train at the same gym and often worked out together. We were also just starting out in Aerospace and both worked for Hughes Aircraft under DOD contracts. Just doing our part to promote the vast military industrial complex. He was a juicer, huge, always having to eat and make sure he had access to food. Living the miserable life of a serious bodybuilder always trying to get your hook ups for gear, always gorging yourself with food. After only a couple of years out of college he was already getting sick of the grind. Fighting traffic on the 405, sitting in a cubicle all day, training after work, juicing and always having to make sure you are able to eat on the clock which is not easy when you have a regular job. One day he just called it quits, stopped with the hardcore bodybuilding but still kept fit. He would always get compliments from people about how much better he looked. He was a pussy magnet. Always the one the americana whores would go for when we'd be alley catting around. He decided to quit the job and go into modeling.

There are so many more opportunities in modeling than in bodybuilding. Exponentially more. There's always a certain look a person has that no else had. He had the very typical surfer/California boy look, which are a dime a dozen, but he still had a great run. Traveled the world and pocketed a lot of ching. His bodybuilding background made it easy for him to change his look for whatever they were looking for. If it was fitness model type he'd train for that. Skinny jeans twink look -- no problem. Just give him a month to either juice or drop the juice and he's there. Within a year he already got a cover shot for Muscle and Fitness.

Pro bodybuilding is tough gig. Very hard life for most. Rewards are relatively paltry. You can still train and be jacked like that successful Jew fitness model and you don't have to go on stage
and be at the mercy of a bunch of schmoes.

Like I said, in less than a year he was already on fitness mag covers. And, as you can see, he's a good looking guy and all, and has a good physique, but really nothing special. This look is a dime a dozen. You have a much more distinctive and unique look especially if you start messing with hair styles. You definitely have a much better physique. When he would stay with me and my roommates, old buds from the gym, we use to laugh and make fun at how puny his arms, delts and especially legs were. And like a true bodybuilder who never quites gets over it it would bother him. Not like it would bother, say, Groink, but you know what I mean. First thing I said when he showed me this cover was, "God, look how scrawny you arms are." LOL! Dude was pulling bank within a few years and we're still talking arm size. What a pathetic bunch we can be.

hahahahaaa...that's twice now....are there things Pellius ?

I'm no more thin skinned than anyone else on this board....people.....or should i say a few people with a LOT of gimmicks....constantly talk some serious shit about me...not even just me, they drag my family into it.  So I respond in kind....Everybody here responds when directly attacked, and i get attacked more than most....but I'm "thin skinned" when i fire back ??  Nonsense.

Flex had competed at the light heavies at the height of 5'10.

Flex wheeler is 5'9" on a good day

[Master Blaster]

Getting the dose just right....hitting the receptors when they are still a little fresh. A higher dose, but not too high. It's more magic then science at that point. I say up the dose a little...maybe see what happens. Then, if need be, up the dose again. Catch the updraft at just the right metabolic moment.

No way, I am 5'9 and Flex is taller, when I have stood beside him

[Palpatine Q]

Funny....I stood next to him too and towered over him and i'm 5'11' (and a half ha ah ah)

not calling you a liar.....i see this all the time about people's heights where two guys say the exact opposite

[Super Natural]

Good input here from GH, One Time Hard, BOMZ, and Supernatural!

Always great to read intelligent input even if it's beyond my mental capacity of understanding.

But I gotta thank ya anyway

Supe, I've been involved in all aspects of the BB world almost forever .... but I am not familiar with "Classic Bodybuilding" competitions in the least  and that type of contest just might be what I suggested be initiated in an earlier post.

I'd appreciate it if you can send me any Classic Bodybullding info that you may have and in the meantime I'll start researching it on the net.

I assume that "Classic" does not necessarily mean 'natural'!!?

Thanks, Supe!

Hey Stunt

Here are the basic rules and report for the World Champs in Estonia this year:

Report & Pics from 2010 World Champs…

http://www.ifbb.com/page_report.php?id=80


Competitors are limited in the amount of muscle they can carry for their height.


The weight / height limits for Classic
Bodybuilding are as follows:

Height Bodyweight limit

Up to 168 cm Height – 100
Up to 171 cm (Height – 100) + 2
Up to 175 cm (Height – 100) + 4
Up to 180 cm (Height – 100) + 6
Up to 190 cm (Height – 100) + 8
Up to 198 cm (Height – 100) + 9
Over 198 cm (Height – 100) + 10

It’s supposedly a drug tested show but the guys are FAR from drug free. The Russians cleaned up in 2010 but I think later everyone of them where busted for drug violations.
In fact more competitors where disqualified at the 2010 IFBB Classic Worlds than at the 2010 IFBB Amateur Men’s World Champs!

Great, great physique.  Looks very big for 83kg.  I suppose that's because so little of that weight is around your midsection.

I didn't choose this screen name for nothing sebastian . Don't you have gay pictures to be posting somewhere? The Tarot card bidness is serious bidness. Here is one Isaac took thats pretty good. I realized 2 things when i was standing backstage lined up with those guys. One was if i kept doing this i might become good enough at it to place in the future. The 2nd was i was going to get last call out because i didn't fit the mold of a light heavyweight. In a line up of apples i was the only carrot and i knew since i was the odd ball of the group that meant i didn't stand a snowballs chance in hell of even getting looked at. To be honest i don't even think 20 lbs will do it. All i can do is wait and see what it looks like.

I met a photographer named Tony Sbriglia who used to work for Muscle Mag and did a few shoots for MD and Flex. He sent me these high res images after the show. They are amazing but ill spare you and just post this one.

20 lb of lean tissue will,, at 200lb you wilol still haev small waist it will be same size as now maybe slightly bigger slightly ,, and your all other mesurments grow ,, you will just look like a ...pro lol only more wquality less gut ,, you will look like stan macowy only with your type of physiqe....you will have a denise wolfe thing going inside a frank zane type body and condition ...

think about you at 160lb....and now....this is the diff you will have when you are 200lb only bigger illusion due to much more lean muscle,, you are going places if you keep at it ,, but! you will have to be bigger in the pros 220-230lb zone

Congrats to you Leafy, I was very impressed!!  You looked fantastic and did a great job.   

Wes, great seeing you too!!  I have a pic of us that I can email to you. 

[stuntmovie]

Supe! Thanks for all that info. I'll check it out this afternoon as right now I am heading off to one of the casinos to place a complimentary $50 bet on one of the tables and then stand in line for a free Apple Pie and then enjoy a free buffet.

The casinos give us locals free stuff on a daily basis to get us inside the joint in order to make the visitors think that the casino business is doing well.

IT AIN't .... cept on weekends when the fools arrive.

Olympia weekend should be interesting.

Thanks again, Supe!

Stunt,
Why are there not more bodybuilders living in Vegas seeing as they could get all of their meals taken care of, high end ones at that, at the Casinos for virtually nothing as long as they play a little?
