MONSTER!

DUDE IS HUGE!

[michael arvilla]

have you had any bb groupies mike?

lol
no  (but im still waiting lol)


all my friends and i worked/bounced in niteclubs (all of us were in our early "20s") just wanted to get big/jacked, look swole in a tight t-shirt (impress the girlies and intimidate the guys),i had a blast! (i stayed working in guy until almost 40!) swore id open my own niteclub one day
it was a GREAT time in my life (kinna like what being a rock star must be like albeit on a much much smaller scale)
here are a few pics from that time................

first one im working  (lol yes i am) at an "afterhours club" called Tantra (other 2 are from different niteclubs over the years/one with the striped "T-Michael" shirt and pony-tail i was in my 20's )

How do you know Zack set up this account and not some LOSER looking to use his image to capitalize on? Kinda like how models(female) take photo shoots only to find out later that their face is attached to another body and used in a porn magazine in Europe or Asia?

I have had a few e-mails with Zack and I too didn't get this impression, but who knows...I am just giving the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Behold the power of denial.  

How do we know aliens didn't kidnap Zack, take a sample of his cells, clone him, make a bodybuilder out of the clone, and pimp the clone out to schmoe websites?  

[HeyNow]

I think you love bodybuildingand you wantto desperately seeit asit was marketed to you in the 80's or nineties .

But the fact is that IT IS a homoerotically infested subculture.

I have never heard of all of this gayness in bodybuilding until I started started vistited this site.  It's common sense that some gay dudes like muscular men, but I dont think it's that bad as you say.  I think you must be a closet homo because it seems all that you talk about is gays in bodybuilding.  Only way one would know if there was this huge gay bb community if YOU were gay yourself.  If the hobby is so gay, why are you so obsessed with it then.

One does not have to be queer to see that bodybuilding is gay.  You just need a little common sense:

Where to start? 

Go to a show, (overwhelming) majority of the audience is male.

The men flex for the crowd of men.

They pump up, for the crowd of men.

They oil up, for a crowd of men.

They wear the tiniest trunks available.

They hike up these tiny trunks, to show off their asses.

You have men going ape shit, when the above happens.

For some reason, the bigger the man, the bigger the cheer.

You ALWAYS have men there who DO NOT EVEN WORK OUT! (wtf do you think they are there for?)

You have guys humping the stage floor, as part of their routines.

You have men doing the splits.

There's pictures of men in tiny daisy dukes, as they lift heavy weights (clearly to satisfy someone's fetish).

Schmoes run the industry (Blekman, Weeda's).

G4P

Gay-4-charity

Gay-4-pleasure

Dude, I could be here all night typing this shit up. Then there's the stuff that BayGBM mentions.......

I was once like you. Somethings just seemed odd, but I didn't really think about it. Slowly but surely, my eyes were opened.....

Don't get me wrong, I love bbing (training, lifestyle, discipline). But the comp. side of it, the pageantry (might as well call it what it is) is what it is.  Clearly geared towards gay men.

And no, I have NOTHING against gays (live and let live is my motto), but reality is what it is.

Who do you think buys all those videos from  http://www.repetrope.com/men/  http://musclegallery.com/   http://usamuscle.com/   http://www.muscleweb.com/   http://vistavideo.com/   http://powermen.com/   and all the rest?  Women?  Um, no.

It's not denial Bay...that is why I closed my comment with just giving the guy the benefit of the doubt.

I guess I am the type that WANTS to see the best in everyone (call it wishful thinking, denial, naive etc) Nonetheless the guy is still a great BB with quite the potential regardless of what he may be doing for funds, I won't hold anything against him.

NOW ABOUT THOSE PERVERTED THINGS THE GETBIGGERS DO THAT NEED TO BE EXPOSED.....
(crash, boom, slam, trip, ouch, fall, run)...the sound of GETBIGGERS running out of th room as the light is turned on to what they do in secret....

From what i`ve been reading on the UK message boards he upset the head judge by going into the crowd in the posedown and wouldn`t get back onstage straight away.Here`s a video of the posedown.

Mike, your pics are the greatest bro, it looks like you took the fashion of the 80's and 90's with the mullet, frosted hair, acid washed jeans etc to the next level....Really fun to look at.

The black guy next to Zack in the compulsories on the first video is the winner of the heavies.Heres a pic of the top 3.

It gets worse.  Some of these videos are just a cut above pornography: the music, the slow motion, the camera angles, the batting eyelashes...  They give you everything but the lube.

A cut above porn?  Give me a break all these dudes are doing is posing, sure it's not the most masculine thing in the world, but calling it a cut above porn is ridiculous.  There isn't anything sexual about that site?  It's not like the dudes are whipping there cocks out and stuff like that.  Like I said the gayness is exaggerated.  **It's just a way for skinny insecure guys who are not secure in there manhood to rip on men who are physically superior to them.**

[nycbull]

anyone now what happens on manifestmen...bay?  do the guys get naked.


also Mike Arvilla, nice ponytail...do you do any Michael Jackson moves...'the way you make me feel" heeeheee  thats my fav MJ


ALso, Bay as usual wants you all to believe bb is so gay, it is still mostly straight sport, done by straight guys doing it to be macho and get girls...the supplement companies still put all their marketing money into straight 20 yr old guys, so it cant be that gay.........but the gay/ rich schmoe aspect of it has always been there ever since the beginning , just ask Arnold who spoke about it openly, and only recently has it grown because of the internet and only as a way to make some extra cash on the side to support the increasing cost of drug cycles....IF the leaders of the bb (IFBB, DExter Jackson) would denounce prostitution and internet soliciting of sex and porn and provide more venues for bb to make legitimate means of income it would go away but as long as they dont it will continue to grow.

It seems we have a difference of opinion.  Fair enough.

Tell me, who, in your mind, is the audience for these videos?  Who do you think buys them?  Heterosexual men & women?  For what purpose?  Someone who is willing to part with his money for a video like this is just another Ted Haggard as far as I'm concerned--and I think most objective people would agree.

Chances are if you own a video like that one, you probably own several others.  I suppose you think there is nothing gay about this video either?

Note the close ups... the music... etc.  If there is a straight guy out there that pays for access to USAMuscle.com I’d like to know who he is.

Hey Bay,

Do you understand that straight fans look at a a rear double bicep shop. shredded glutes etc, and no sexual thoughts enter their heads?
A straight guy can look at ripped glutes in a DIFFERENT way to a gay guy..

PLz say u accept this?

You are relatively new here so I don't expect you to know that I have acknowledged that previously many times.  In fact, I come to bodybuilding first as a fan; there are relatively few bodybuilders I think of as sexually interesting.

That said, I do not think one buys videos from USAmuscle.com because you are simply a straight fan and I think it is silly so many guys can't connect the dots in this sport or act surprised when it turns out some BB they admire was doing G4P.  "OMG!  he didn't seem the type."

yes, agreed.. bodybuilding for me is not sexual thing at all.

Not everyone has to participate in the g4p. It's pathetic how many of them do.

BBer's like Erik Fankhouser and Evan Centopani are true bodybuilders. Guys that live the lifestyle and work REAL JOBS instead of bending over and flexing for old queers in hotel rooms. Fuck, Erik has a wife and a son and he gets up everyday at 3:30 to do cardio, go to work, go train, go pickup his kid, spend time with his family when he gets home etc... that's a real man's man. As soon as I hear about a bber doing g4p I automatically lose respect for them. Pure lazyness.
