Anybody know who the top 6 were?
-
ITS BEING HELD SUNDAY. SINCE THEY ARE 5 HOURS AHEAD OF US.WE WILL KNOW THIS AFTERNOON
-
Just got back from the show, Lee won again. He was looking awesome.
Pound for pound he's gotta be one of the most freaky bodybuilders around, ive never seen such muscle thickness on a small frame!
I met him along with the other PDI pro's, wayne demillia and charles clairemont. It was a good day out.
-
Interesting to hear that Charles Clairmonte is making a pro comeback with PDI. Wayne Gallasch put out a good interview film (now on DVD) with him. Here it is.

This line up in the pic looks good. Not much different quality from a spring show line up for the IFBB top 4...

Just to make clear, Charles Clairemont did not compete, he was one of the judges for the show. :)

Yes, I was there. Went to pay my debt to Insider Z but he failed to identify himself. Wayne is my witness that I was prepared to pay my debt. We joked about it.

Theatre is really nice. Location sucks. Lighting guy did a good job, very even across a low riser. Simple background. I like that.

Cool man. You take any pics?

Simple background. I like that.
I wish more shows had the clean backdrop. Really looks good...

I like the way that top 4 looks

agree... it is the physiques that should be the attraction not the stupid sets...
-

I've probably upset every promoter in the world over that and lighting :-)
Smaller shows are always the worst because they have to accomodate several sponsors who all want their names clearly visible on stage. I've been to some where there's been 20 banners acroos the backdrop.
-
Request here: When people from Getbig go to these (and other) shows, can you PLEASE snap a pic or two of the crowd there? This will end like 200+ posts of arguing the attendence success of shows...
-
agree... it is the physiques that should be the attraction not the stupid sets...
In an ideal world that would be the rule. Problem is that the sponsors demand their banners be seen. At the major shows the pre-judging is held in front of a plain background usually black.
-
No, I only pick up a camera if someone pays ;D
Im glad that the PDI is staying the course.
You didnt take one camera with you? I thought you were a photojournalist. How could you not take pictures of something that is happening for the first time, even for your personal collection?

My cameras are tools. Pay me, I bring them out. No money, they stay in store.

Kevin do you use a digital camera or conventional film? and which in your opinion is better?
-
I seem to doubt you would have brought your cameras even if you were paid.
Why?

Kinda like Kamali when he gets ready for a show and places last and doesn't get paid for it? I think he should follow your philosophy, it would save him alot of time and money :D!
-

95% of my work is now shot on digital.
Digital now easily matches film and in at higher ISO is superior - much cleaner files.
Having said that, I wish digital had never reared it's ugly head. I spend more time in front of a computer than is healthy.

Heres a few snaps for you, enjoy.

Thanks ! thats what I thought most Pro photographers are switching to digital.
-
was there a lot of people there
-
What do you mean by this? Mentally unhealthy? Bad for the eyesight? Radiation poisoning?
Speak on this. I have the same concerns.
We're probably safe fron radiation ;D
Eyesight has to be affected by constantly focusing on the same plane. Posture gets messed up - My shoulders/traps ache like hell after a few hours.
For me one of the major problems I have is the same as when I used to print my own black and whites. I'd print some, leave them overnight to dry. Look at them in the morning and figure I could improve them. So that process would repeat until I'd hit the deadline to get them done. I don't think I was being a perfectionist, I was just a lousy printer ;D
I now do the same with Photoshop.
-

I only know 2 photographers who still shoot all their work on film. One of them is Chris Lund - the best in this business.
-
Where did Rhino place???

wow chris lund hasn't switched over to digital... what is his reason kev?

Did he even compete??? Congrats to Lee and Sami the Blacksmith!
-

He has no need to.

Kevin - speak on this.
I don't have to worry about conflict of interest when shooting boodybuilding. I only shoot for FLEX.

Lee has already passed his IFBB Pro history in Prize $$$$money in only 2shows for PDI and he has another show and guest spots in a couple of weeks.Wow it seems like a bad choice financially at least NOT.Now when is the PDI Olympia????.Listen up IFBB promoters you cheap bitches give a lot more cash $1000 for 5th place is very very sad.
-
Lee has already passed his IFBB Pro history in Prize $$$$money in only 2shows for PDI
uhhh...not even close.
He won three IFBB shows, placed top 10 Olympia 5 times (top 6 3 times) and placed top 2-3 in MANY other shows. 6th place in the Olympia (back when he got that placing) ranged from $20-25K. That means from one of his 6th places ALONE, he equaled his WINNING prize from the PDI (and actually exceeded it if you include inflation). That's not saying anything about PDI -- it just started -- but your statement is wrong.
-
This PDI stuff has so little coverage. Why wouldn't Ron atleast pin this topic
-
Why wouldn't Ron atleast pin this topic
Because the IFBB wouldn't like that.
-
Congrats, Lee!
The top 4 looks good. I think it's great that lesser known BBers are getting exposure through the PDI.
-
Hi yes show was great nice venue(really nice) had a great time PDI will only grow so IFBB athletes come compete what the IFBB going to suspend all of you....think not :)
Lee Priest
ok going to eat again

so was IFBB pro Shaun Davis
Shaun Davis? I met him 2 years ago in a gym here in Portugal, he is a nice guy! He was in good shape and training hard and he told that would continue competing! Is he still competing or retired?
-
Interesting to hear that Charles Clairmonte is making a pro comeback with PDI. Wayne Gallasch put out a good interview film (now on DVD) with him. Here it is.
http://www.gmv.com.au/default.asp?pageid=products&template=PRODUCTCAT&catid=30&prodid=1274&site=1
I saw Charles Clairmonte a couple of weeks ago in the gym where he's a personal trainer, he looks well but I would think a long way off making any comeback ???

Lee what you eatin this week straight into KFC ? ;D

Has Rodney ever earned a dime in the IFBB? say what you want about his lifestyle but the man has a good build and wouldn't not have gotten anywhere in the IFBB.
I am not saying that he will get anywhere in the IFBB but...$3,000 > $0
-
If I am try Troy Alves I am thinking very very hard about this. Lee is bringing his usual package and collecting checks. Troy would be top 2 *no disrespected intended sami* every show. If his sponsors are OK with it, why wouldn't he take the chance? The IFBB is pisssing on JJ, Alves, RR and those with similar builds.
I general competition creates a superior product, the PDI is good for BB
-
I wish more shows had the clean backdrop. Really looks good...
acutally yeah, it does look good

Thats Rob Richies And Fivos Averikiou (sorry if i mispelled that Fivos but it's hard to spell ;D). Both are lifetime natural.
I'm a friend of Robs. He's only 22 and headded to Musclemania to compete shortly. He Competed in the NPA British on saturday, as did Fivos. I think both entered the show for the experience.
It's not the most flattering pic.
Here's one from the previous day.
-
Congrats Lee!
-
Yes, I was there. Went to pay my debt to Insider Z but he failed to identify himself. Wayne is my witness that I was prepared to pay my debt. We joked about it.
Hey I was there, too.
I was in the forth row behind the judges and I tried to find you during the intermission.
Are you sure you were there? Where did you sit?
I will contact Wayne to get confirmation about your attendance.

Why didn't you contact Kevin as he asked BEFORE the show? Monster Bluff.
-
LEe has a champion's back!!!!!!!!! ::)
he was going to win anyway so he just continued cheating and eating junk for the NY till this show.
-
LOL @ the secret admirer stuff.
"I looked for you, did you look for me?" "You were hiding, I knew it!"
-
Lee, why do you always wear that gay superman costume? It is gay, not cool. Im glad you are striking back at the ifbb but find a new posing routine.
-
Where did Rhino place???
No, I sat this one out. I will be back in Sept. Plan on hitting three weekends of shows.
Stay tuned, no mistakes this year. No hype either.....Just want to be in the top ten...Okay?
-
Why didn't you contact Kevin as he asked BEFORE the show? Monster Bluff.
He started a thread calling me out about a debt yet does everything he can to avoid collecting!
Now he has the cheek to question if I was even there.
The only person who stood out in the 4 th row was a most unconvincing transvestite. If that was him/her I'd have paid for dinner but he/she would have eat alone.

Have you ever heard of an undercover agent, or insider, who reveals his identity just for a meal?
Come on, don't play dumb or people will believe you really are.
Obviuosly I saw Kevin with his wife, they were in the rear seats on the right side watching the stage.
I also saw Ernie Taylor who is doing K1 now.
There was only one reason I'd have approached Kevin: to know if he think that the standard of top 5 in PDI show in London would be good enough for an average IFBB show.
An answer would balance the meal he own me and I will consider his dues fully paid

Lee,
have you thought about contacting any news organizations to tell them the story of your battle w/the IFBB and the PDI? I think you'll be more successful if you can get it into the news.
-

Well why didn't you come up and ask me then?
I'll answer the question and still buy dinner - as long as you weren't the tranny in the 4th row.
When you say "good enough" do you mean capable of placing in the top 6? or just appear?
The problem with stating that someone would not place highly detracts from the fact that they have already achieved a high level of success because to compete in the IFBB means you are already either a National or International champion
Of the athletes I saw on Sunday, obviously Lee at his best can place in the top 6 of any show.
The others would struggle.
-
This thread is filled with ...hey bro I missed you at the show
monster gayness

Yes, there is an inider named Cassin looking for a meal ticket out of jail by outing Titus.
Way to throw us off your trail with the first post asking where he sat. ::)
-
Horton,
Did you mentally note the seat and description of EVERY transvestite in the theater?
Or did you only have eyes for the one in the 4th row? ;)
-

You are right Kev.
I was the one in the forth row, but I was not the only one there in the forth row, and it sounds like you saw me.
Do you have a prejudice with transvestites?
-

Great comeback "insider z" ::)
-
Lift Studios = IFBB stooge. No offense Isaac. ;D
I just e-mailed Wayne about an interview.
I've never claimed to be anything but a loyal supporter of the IFBB but that has nothing to do with "Insider Z" calling Horton out and then not having the balls to meet him in person. Horton followed through with his side of things and "Inisder Z" didn't. Simple as that.

Do you really think that I'd ruin the pleasure of being an Insider just for a dinner?
To be a loyal supporter of the IFBB means to be brainwashed?

Max-how did Fiv look compared to saturday?
-
Id say simmilar condition to sat night.
I took some pics, but Rob has the memory card so i can't post them up at the moment. Should be seeing him in a day or two so hopefully i can get hold of the shots then.

My "season" this year started at the Ironman and will finish at the Nationals in a couple of weeks. In between I was at the Colorado, San Francisco, NY and USA shows, then it was to the Olympia and then Romania, Holland and Austria and all were great shows. I didn't get to the Australian show but I know from past experience that Tony Doherty would have put on a great event just like Jim Lormer, John Balik, John Lindsay, Robin Chang and the other promoters did.
How many shows did you attend this year Keith or are you comments fuelled by your hatred of anything to do with the IFBB? Did you even bother to attend one of your beloved PDI shows? I did, and I bought the tickets.

None fueled by my hatred for the IFBB, Manion and Weiders. I admit it. But then also, there are reasons for all of them. And I didn't go to any PDI shows and I would get my tickets free. Next year I will be going to some. This year I didn't do anything.

Well I can say I don't hate the IFBB as much as I like what Wayne is doing. I think it's great. And the thing I hate the most is how the IFBB pretends not to care yet theyhave tried just about everything they can to destroy it. The only good thing is they have failed miserbly
