it's stuff like this thats makes people sick,,,
people that are into the sport and yes it's a sport and no need for some internet copy & paste genius to post a wiki or websters definition on what a sport is. any competitor in any sport will tell you competition is the sport. when your up on stage posing to display your strengths and hide your weakness while trying to get your opponent to show his weakness, thats skill and competition... and guess what so is the training,,, when your working on bringing up your weaknesses while the other guy is trying too as well,,, well thats competition,,, thats what any sport is all about. ask anyone that plays a pro sport, any sport... and being that this is a bodybuilding board ask anyone who's competed or just loves/respects the sport.
as far as this veiled question by hammer,,, i'd expect more from someone whos been a member of this board so long... you really need someone besides yourself to influence your son a his direction,,, lol. yes like bob's or any pro answer would help your authority as a parent,,, further more, if you can't use your head and determine how many use well, that's silly. if you think any pro,,, that makes his living to support himself and possibly his own family that would say anything to hurt his chances to continue making money in this profession again,,, silly.
the people that knock this sport and the athletes,,,, yes they, we are... especially the pro's are ridiculous, this is a bodybuilding board,,, if you don't love/respect or understand this sport/lifestyle then go somewhere else,,, it's baffling that people mock everything about bodybuilding yet they visit and post on this board all day everyday. you get guys not even members for a year with thousands of post already and they mock all the time,,, clearly since those people have no respect for bb'n then it's obvious they are only here for one reason,,, that's to look at men with muscles and that in the business is considered a schmoe... which is fine,,, there are gay people in every field in all walks of life,,, in every sport too,,, nfl, nba, mlb... I could care less,,, oh wait,,, now I care less. lol
as far as this silly question again.... best not have any kid intend to get into any sport with intentions on being a pro because drugs will be part of the game,,, what ever it is. bb'n may just have a wider range of types but who knows what people do behind closed doors and again,,, who cares. it's more noble to get out of work and go to the bar and drink for a lifetime,,, than use performance enhancers to aid in a change in appearance of aid in being better at a pro sport in which someone makes a living,,, again if any one was being hurt it would be the athlete themselves instead of other businesses where others may be hurt. it's more noble to take a drug and aid in sex performance because after a lifetime of being sedentary and drinking after work everyday killed a libido and made it impossible to perform natural acts,,, thats ok,,, along with cosmetic surgery. lol
i been a member since 03 - 04 because i love and respect the sport of bodybuilding and live it everyday, i love to lift weights, it's more interesting to me than watching tv or talking about cars, i rather build myself real american muscle and up my own performance/horsepower than buying it and owning it psuedo style in some machine... i may not use any illegal aas but i am not disillusioned to what happens in this or any sport, nor would i criticize anyone that does, especially for making a living. as conseco let everyone know,,, every sport, mlb, nba, nfl, etc. have them.... and of course in all walks of life,,, even yes, even doctors and lawyers drink smoke and use rec. drugs, but rec. drug use seems to be accepted by most people on here so guess they get a pass except roid users, lynch them...
sure i may go to other sites but getbig is number one, everyone knows that... its an escape and form of entertainment, again i'd rather lift weights than watch tv,,,, so it's tough to lift all day,,, brutal on the joints so when i get a break its cool to look at or listen to stuff that's involved with the sport and it's nice to discuss with people that share the same respect for bb'n and weight training,,, brothers and siters in iron kinda thing.
further more,,, what ever the political , religous , moral ideas of people are even professions,,, who cares, it's a bb'n board, now this is the gossip & opinions sections of a bodybuilding webiste, so mostly all post will have some bb connotations, which is why most people visit this site.
we used to have more pros here (jay cutler was starting to post a few times but we know how that went)but too many knocked and mocked them so they left,,, questions like state the obvious, such as whats your cycle (meaning, hurt your income to satisfy some internet genious that wants to seem "in the know" and aloof to bb'n, meanwhile they're on a bb'n website, duh) like any nfl, nba or mlb player would ever take time to post on a board and talk with fan/followers of their respective sport. that's why its so censored at md because to keep the pros there,,, you have to weed out the moronic posts. and it's good business to have fan/followers to be able to interact with the pros and stars of the sport. surely more pros would post here but adults and adult conversation is very scarce at gb... another point, I posted a serious training question to bob chick a while back and know what,,, he replied with a serious answer,,, which is cool. think anyone would ask maurice jones drew on how to get a quicker 40 time at the combine and see if he'd tell you ( he may don't know him, lol but theres not really a forum like here ie, nfl g&o ) diffferent than asking, hey bob post your stack, which really means hurt your career and the sport and people mock/knock him for not doing so.
no mlb player would tell either... bob gets more credit than mcguire,,, at least bob admitted... yet again he gets mocked, lol
or how many gays were at the last show,,,, again stating the obvious... if anyone cares about someones sexual preference,,, thats sad....
and everyone knows about the guy that like to comment on other sexuality,,, it's speaks volumes of their own,,, that is fact.
it's like that no homo sh!t,,, for a while it was funny but after a while all the time it begins to lose laughs and if people really feel the need to defend their "manhood" or st8ness well guess what... lol from another thread,,, alpha don't need to justify
so to the op,,, since your looking for guidance on how to raise your son from people on an internet bodybuilding website because you don't want him doing drugs and you think bob chick will help influence him, well maybe it's better to not have in invloved in any sports because if he ever has any intentions on choosing a journey to become pro, welll surely drugs will be somewhere along that road for any sport... and being as you don't wany him to take any drugs well guessing you mean rec. drugs too so you might as well home tutor him being public school and worse private schools are flooded with them.
so if you were serious with your thread post this oughtta help you or if you were just being facetious this oughtta help too
so many on this board are johnny come latley and think they a super internet genious with a degree in copy & pasting, with their witt in kncocking and mocking a sport, again yes it's a sport and unless your involved with the business or competed you have no idea or frame of reference to give a reasonable opinion... people like this that have no respect or love for the sport are just looking to have people think they're smarter than they are when in reality to the poeple involved in this business, in one way or another, to us you are ridiculous. and technically,,, if you don't love/respect weight training and bb'n then you just come to this site to... cum and look at scantily clad muscle men and that is a term known in the business as a "schmoe" and your reason for mocking the sport and competitors is now clear,,, your jealous you don't have bodies as such and you are mad at your own sexuality and feel inferior with your partner (whether it's a women or man) because you know your partner wishes and would leave you for someone with a better build than you. so schmoe it up and mock people that go compete for that "plastic trophy", knock those that use ped's (don't forget to mock those that drink, smoke and take viagra) and complain at how unhealthy weight training is (add every sport along with bodybuilding too)
again it's a bodybuilding board and like the saying goes that people see all the time, love it or leave it,,,
well if you don't respect/love bodybuilding then shut the fuk up and get the fuk out.
