Unbelivable feeling.
I have known him since 5-6 years ago and he was just a spanish national level competitor(OK, he had been good already though...) and he couldnt win best title in spain called FitForm even once.
And look at him now!!

I agree cover looks great. But this guy has a really really large waist.

I want to see more photos of that Heidi Fletcher. Niiiiiceeeee

Ah Yes??I think its opposite.
Post some pic of him looking large.

From musclegallery to the cover of FLEX. What a leap! :D

Stupid...

silvo has lost all respect,
gay pics = man whoring...
-

Actually,his waist is not big.
But he has the gut and these pics are taken when his gut is loose(sticking out).So they look wide.
But,once he tightens it up,his waist looks small.

But remember. Many ifbb pro BBers are poor.They must do anything.

Absolutley. That is just wrong. Cheering for someone like that pretty much makes you a fag.
Why can't they get a normal job like all of us?

because they have no respect for thier bodies, thats why they pump insane amounts of chemicals in the first place, degrading themselves by making pics targeted for homos is just an extension of thier low self respect...

From now til whenever I will always associate this man w/that clip at the begining of Milos' video on The Fit Show running down the stairs..."R u ready?" Running to take this man to the next level w/1000 rep sets. Fuck it, he's on the cover of Flex Milos mustve done something right w/him!
-
Thanks, Shadow.

great genetics and muscle bellies. He's this years' gustavo.

Bay, I see where your cumming from ....well not really but listen to this...
Its one thing to be gay and do gay things...I mean your gay, so thats cool...But dont be a straight guy doing gay things for the love of $$$, thats diffrent.Thats being whorish
-

I'm not cheering for that guy. To expose himself like that is a lack of self respect to himself. I choose what I feel was a respectable route, I educated myself in university and worked my up in a solid company. Why couldn't he do that and be a bodybuilder?

A heterosexual man would not do gay things for money. Remember that. ;)

Dont make it sound like it's a bad thing. The world need more whoring.

I am having a hrad time believing this but yes it's true. I have a friend who again took a different route in life then I did. We use to go out and get girls all the time. He now strips at an all male club. He also has said he does private dances but it's just for the cash. It's kind of weird to me because I don't see how he can't be gay. Pretty strange to me.
-
great genetics and muscle bellies. He's this years' gustavo.
Wow Dont compare him with Gustavo.
I see Gustavo 1000 times better.

FLEX editors are either absolutely clueless about www.musclehunks.com and www.musclegallery.com [ VERY unlikely as it's ' sister ' magazine MUSCLE & FITNESS has featured bodybuilders from these websites ] or are absolutely appreciative of the gay guys who own this site and the barriers they broke down about the display of male muscle on the internet.
It may be surprising, but it looks like FLEX & M&F don't give a damn about bodybuilders posing for gay oriented websites with very suggestive posing, and more than just that .

We actually don't go to any of those sites, so we aren't familiar with who has or has not been featured on them...I guess you could say we are clueless about it. That goes for both M&F and FLEX. On the other hand, it's also not our policy to pronounce judgement on someone for what they may or may not do with their personal/professional lives. Our job is to try and put out the best magazine we can featuring the top bodybuilders in the world...I believe Silvio now falls into that category.

i told you its hard to come by freaks of nature,,here is one of them,,give it couple more years if health is ok he is going far
-
Silvio and many other bodybuilders do "sexy" photos FOR THE LADIES...and that's exactly what Silvio was doing back in 2005 (photoshoot which produced posted photo...)
So - don't "read between the lines" and assume things...as it is not always what it seems...
-
derek jeter has plenty of female fans, but ive never seen him naked in the missionary position. im sure theres so many girls that get pics of naked bodybuilders and go home to their dildos ::)

Milos.......that may be. But, how come so many are done for blatant gay sites? Not flaming, serious question. I'm sure BayGM or Tim Fograty could go into more detail, as my knowledge is limited, but I know for a fact that places like Muscleweb (or whatever the site is called) features MANY pro bbers.
-
For the, um, "ladies"... ;)

Actually do know A LOT of ladies who really are appreciative!
-
A bodybuilder being paid to do nudes would have to be pretty naïve to not know that the target audience is gay men.
regarding the websites most often mentioned here, musclegallery, muscleweb, musclehunks, and powermen, the first two are nudes with an occasional erection, while the later two are all j/o clips.
a certain national level amateur bodybuilder on musclehunks tried to explain it away as a one time mistake. then you go to the site, and see there are 5 different j/o clips of him, probably taken over a week. pretty long time before you regret.

Rob meant:
Silvio 2007 = Gustavo 2004
Ah..OK.

Bwahahahahaha!!! Its for both!!(Middle age lady and gays!)

i don't think he'll go to hell for a little pole spray do you?
-
Yes, for the ladies*.
*ladies = gay men
Not even. How many middle aged women do you see in the audience at shows? Compared to how many middle aged/gay men do you see at shows? 'nuff said.
Obviously, I have no judgments on guys who do erotic posing in other venues. But people who defend this as "innocent", "a mistake", "not gay", or "for the ladies" I do judge: as laughable. If you need to believe that in order to sleep at night then more power to you . . . just don't expect everyone else to believe it.
Take those arguments to Judge Judy, to the court of public opinion, or another court for that matter and you'll be summarily laughed out of the room.

I do think you right, Bay, but actually do know female friends who really love BB'ers and their bodies, too-some gals want it as much as the dudes! LOL! :)

The only way this would make sense is if he were the very first person to pose for a new web site and he had no idea what it was really about or whom they were targeting. By the time Silvio took his clothes off the tone of musclegallery was set and should have been well known. He did know... and he did it anyway.
Surely, you can see that he--but no. I would be a fool to think you might understand what only Doom can know. Bah!
Doom disapproves of your naiveté
-

yeah, but gals don't spend money on porn, softcore or not, like the guys do.

Except my friend who has been to see the Chippendales like 5 million times...LOL!
Seriously, I agree, Tim.

These bodybuilders do know and they get paid for posing of course. They're working with gay men who are the owners, videographers & photographers. To say " I didn't know what I was doing " is laughable indeed. Another thing is you can't take gay out of the equation in bodybuilding, because there are some people who are gay in the industry, just like in all walks of life.
The proliferation of bodybuilders being displayed as sexy has been infinitely expanded with the internet. NPC & IFBB competitors are posing for websites owned by gay men , and as I pointed out, it doesn't seem to have hurt their mainstream exposure in bodybuilding magazines, or even the IFBB as you think.
Rob sager who died recently was in a couple porn movies, and at the same time , featured in MUSCLE & FITNESS and the other bodybuilding mags.
Oh, here's another gay website owned by gay men that competitors , like NPC National competitor , MARK ERPELDING, who is their featured model on one of their main pages. Erpelding not only posed for www.musclegallery.com, but is all over the internet as a bodybuilding model on gay websites. Check out:
www.muscleworship.com
You may be surprised at who poses for sites like this.
-
Was Rob actually a prof. BB'er or just a porn star? I actually didn't know much about him till he died.

Rob Sager won the NPC Aloha Classic recently, so wasn't really a top amateur bodybuilder, though he could have been. and he really wasn't a porn star, having only done a few (good) j/o videos, and two (really bad) suck videos. but he was a big celebrity (famous for being famous). but if he hadn't done the porn, he could have been the next Mike O'Hearn or Frank Sepe.

That's really too bad, Tim-I remember seeing his pics & him being in the fitness mags as a model but never saw his videos, etc.
Was it drug related?

So true!
But the surprise is not who poses for these sites. Anyone can click their mouse and find out who is doing it. What most people don't know about are the undocumented private "transactions" that take place between BBs and generous fans when no camera is present. But hey, if private posing was good enough Eugene Sandow it's good enough for the current generation, right? :D
Whatever else I've said in this thread aside, Silvio has an awesome physique. His shape really reminds me of Ronnie Rockel. I'd love to see them side by side on stage.
-

no. he had a family history of heart problems, but wasn't giving it the attention it required. (the amount of fast food he ate certainly didn't help) He had been having heart palpitations the weeks before, and had a doctors appointment scheduled in a week or two, but just died in his sleep.

I was at a porno store once to buy DVD jewel cases and a quite attractive and young woman walked in to return a movie. Where are the stats on who spends what? I think women tend to hide things like how much they like sex, masturbate, watch porn, etc. Women are not allowed to enjoy sex in the same manner that men do, but that is more the result of social constructs and less of nature. 3/5 people who touch my arms where I work are men (possibly gay, I have no idea), but that is because men are "allowed" and woman are not. But while women may not be open about looking at porn, I don't think that is to say they don't do it just as much.
I agree with you on that, Matt-it's a real double standard.
-
women are not as visually oriented as are men when it comes to sex.
-

You know, in some ways, Tim-I honestly think that is an old wives tale.
I have had several buds who worked as dancers in some shows for women & they acted even more wild than men at a straight male strip club.
Maybe they aren't as turned on as much as a whole group as men by visual stimuli, BUT I think A LOT of them really are-look at how popular shows like the Chippendales are in Vegas...

Far too ugly of a dude for a cover. Bad idea.

that's funny what you say about men touching your arms because women touch my arms all the time and men rarely ever do - I think the queers know better -maybe it's the vibe your putting out.....

Right you are Bay about what goes on behind the scenes. A person's got to be naive or a saint not to know that it's a fact. Anyway, there's a lot of support from gay people helping out bodybuilders monetarily, and getting something back in return.
There used to be a party in NYC after the NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS at a rich individual's pad. I saw big name pros bodybuilders, amateur bodybuilders, a male porn star, guys who hustle for a living, & a couple of girlfriends . It was very accepted that everybody respected this host, who was gay. It was no big deal, but it did open my eyes that bodybuilding & support by gay men are intertwined . A LOT of pros were there , and whether they were straight or gay or bi, it was an accepted party to attend.
-
Mark Dugdale said he wasn't sure what the guys at MuscleGallery.com do and I believe him - he is doing well in business and has no reason to do a photoshop other than to get exposure in bodybuilding press. What incentive would Mark have had to do G4P?
As for Silvio, isn't he foreign? Maybe he wasn't clear on what was going on. Naive? Sure - but people are naive at times, even smart people.
I think Mark is real religious, too, Matt-NOT that that stops folk or hypocrisy or whatever.
I would think that most folk would not be that naiive, but, honestly, am real surprised sometimes-also, different cultures, different views-who knows?

Party sounds like a blast, Dude!!! :)

I respect Mark as a person but like virtually every Christian, he is a practices "selective Christianity" (not a diss). If he wanted to practice Christianity by the letter, he would not be a pro bodybuilder. As for the drugs being "prescription", don't even go there. ::)
That being said, I highly doubt Mark would intentionally do G4P pictures not due to his religious orientation, but due to his financial status. Why would he need the money? He wouldn't. I think he just jumped the exposure bandwagon as much as he could and didn't realize exactly what was up with Muscle Gallery.
Oh, I totally agree with you, Matt. I actually don't know much about Mark-great body & impressed with his pics. I just read some interview on a Christian BB'ing site where he was really going to town about his beliefs. BUT, as you stated, it probably is fairly selective & whatever crowd of the moment he is trying to appeal, too. I have strong faith myself, but don't push it on people & accept folk for who they are.
-
No one deserves the cover more than Silvio. He has had a tremendous year. He is one the best new pros out there. As for his Musclegallery choice, there is nothing wrong with it. He needs to make money just like everyone else. Plus, it's not as if he is doing anything gay in the videos...

foreign does not mean backwards. Silvio is Brazilian, spent part of his youth in Nigeria, and has been living in Spain. While Nigeria may qualify as backwards when it comes to sexual attitudes, Brazil and Spain certainly do not. He knew what he was doing.
-
Well Tim, your opinion holds a lot of weight to me so I will trust you on that. Sometimes when something like this comes up, I give the bodybuilder the benefit of the doubt but I know there are times (probably most of the time) when the bodybuilder doing the shoot knows exactly what is going on.
Frankly, I would do solo poses for a gay market also if the opportunity came up. It is not immoral in any way. It is consenting adults performing activities free of coercion. I personally consider sexual activity to be private, but what is wrong with pictures? After all, bodybuilding is based in large part on photography, and bodybuilders aren't exactly heavily clothed in most photo shoots. Also, if anyone thinks there is not a large gay male audience for regular bodybuilding magazines - think again.
Matt, I am just SHOCKED by this revelation-what is the world coming to??? I will never view M & F in the same way again...
So, you are posing for Muscleweb soon???

woosh!
That's the sound of your credibility going out the window. I used to have some respect for you. No more. If you really thought that shoot was for the ladies, you are either clueless or an idiot. In either case Doom disapproves.
Bah!
-
Boy, those women just must have NO FUN!!!! :'(

If I was in shape and they made the offer. ;D Doing some solo poses is a far cry from gay porn. Plus, I couldn't rise to the occasion anyway. :-\
