Monster forearms and traps.

i think mike may have used something in the bis and delts which, of course, only highlight the inadequacies in these muscle groups.

why on earth he would do this is beyond my comprehension. his arms and delts are his stronger points. if i was mike and wanted to augment something it would have been calves or, basically, anywhere in the lower body.

the lack of traps, forearms and lower body indicate to me that mike has been avoiding the heavy stuff. i can see by the gyno that lack of gear's not the problem. on that point, the gyno seems to have gotten worse. i would have thought that mike would have attended to that before anything.

something positive to say...ummm...delts and arms look bigger. :-\

Did Arvilla do his own prep this time? Maybe he just got lazy since he had much less fat to lose than last year.

He's not using synthol. thats ludacris. He would be much much bigger and his arms and delts would look lumpy and out of proportion.

Post by: thewickedtruth on June 19, 2007, 11:43:03 AM
Mike REALLY needs to start putting on some solid muscle in his down time. Eating more and moving BIG weight. I would get some traps, widen that back a little and really hit my side delts alot harder to try and give myself a wider look instead of looking like a latino ken doll. I'm not talking about 315lb barbell shrugs...500lbs or more for sets will put some size on that neck in no time. Go back to the basics and really hit the free weights hard and see what you can come up wiht for next time. He does look ALOT better than last years contest though! I'm very happy for him!

yeha, and there's a reason he started posting blurry pics all of a sudden.  i've seen him post pics for 5 years now - and theyre always high quality.  we're supposed to believe he suddenly discovers the formula for giant arms he's always dreamed of, and suddenly his camera sucks?

He's not the bragging fat guy he used to be.  He's fairly humble, knows what he looks like and tries to do his personal best.  He's not claiming to have a "pro" physique.  He's not claiming he'll destroy all competition.

Isn't the point of being an amatuer bodybuilder to enjoy the lifestyle, participate in the community and try to beat personal goals?  Mostly, aren't we to just have fun with our little hobby here?

Give the guy a break.

ROFLMAO, you guys make me laugh.

Firstly:  Mike doesn't use synthol.  You guys are too much.  You talk about how he makes a piss poor living as a trainer and then think he shoots himself up with enough steroids that he should look like a pro, laugh at him because he doesn't and then accuse him of synthol.  <shaking my head>  Could it be that he held a lot of fat in his midsection and not a whole lot in his arms and delts.  Let me answer that for you all because I know as I live with him...it is.  Look at his old pictures.  He ALWAYS had large round delts and good size arms. 

Secondly:  those pictures are made from two different cameras.  The "clearer" one is our canon digital camera.  The "blurry" one is from his camera phone. 

Lastly:  you guys really need to get a life.  Like another member said, Mike does this for hobby.  He never claimed that he was a pro or even close to a pro.  He never even said he was aiming to be one.  It's really sad that you all have absolutely nothing better to do than to just sit back and rip apart others on a message board (without even so much as offering up one of your own pictures for comparison.  But then again...who would believe it was you right?).  Why don't you go to the gym and work on obtaining the physique that keeps you glued to a bodybuilding board instead of always hating on people.  You guys are like the bullies of the school yard and will inevitably end up like they all do.  :-\

You didn't quote very well, so to your question of "do we want you all to suddenly take us seriously":  I don't ever recall asking to be a joke.  I believe this board was create for those who have in an interest in bodybuilding to come and discuss the industry and share their own experiences.  But you "kids" have decided it was to be a forum where you all could congrigate and just make fun of people (pro's and amatures alike).  If we (those that are interested in bbing and the industry) are all such a joke, why the hell are you here and what brought you here?

This is why i don't post here much anymore................. .Synthol,photoshopped pictures,

only a few people offered any constructive criticism,i started my diet at 5 weeks out
yes i should prolly skip the WEst Palm and do another show (mind-spin)
ill probaly do the Southern States 5 weeks after the West Palm show (use the west palm as a warmup-show)

grainy pictures= camera phone /lol no great mystery sorry!
my genetics suck .............(i have wide shoulders,big delts and arms and that's about it)

i squat/i deadlift/i bench heavy etc..................... ..this is fun for me (except the dieting!)
i suffered and killed myself to whip myself into contest shape in 4-5 weeks

don't know why all the hate i been on GET-BIG  for many years now..................
learned a lot made some good friends(im doing the best i can with this bodybuilding thing)
Laura is competing in this same show but won't post pictures because of all the negative comments
(cottage cheese thighs etc)
it's really sad get-big is like this................the mean -spirited dickheads far outweigh the really good people here,if i had posted my pictures and got a ton of compliments/positive respones
Hedgehog would have moved it to the "Pictures board" because it's 99% negative it stays here
that's not the way it should be..............

here enjoy this little video clip (made just for fun!)

you will always find him flaws. Everyone has flaws

give him a break guys he competes for fun cause he likes it, he doesn't hurt anybody

Firstly:  Mike doesn't use synthol. 

okay, forget that brand.

Does he use ANY kind of site injection compound?

Mike, I haven't said anything so far cuz I think you and Laura do really try hard. But I'm not sure why you two are surprised with the reception you're receiving now. If you recall, in the past, both of you were amazingly active on the board -- posting endless photos of yourselves and fueling your own hype machine. People often times interpret that as you thinking that you are better than everyone else.

they did all that BEFORE they competed.

once they saw they were mediocre against the world, they stopped.

but, the rest of us remembered.  i mean, there were pics of their meals, dumps, shopping trips, etc. they tried to use get big as their own little hype city.  you gotta back it up when you do that.

and, they LIED last time about their placings, and they were caught.  so less folks suppor them now.

It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to achieve Mike's condition. It takes a set of giant balls to post pics knowing full well that you will be flamed.

nobody lied about our placings (now ur pissing me off!)

i got third (look it up in southern muscle)
laura got 5th
the whole "lying" about where we placed was a get-big ballbreaker scenario
if i won you guys would say it musta been a weak class................you can't win here

Also remember, the people bashing are the ones who never once stepped on a stage. Just average gym rats the no absolutely nothing about bbdg, nutrition and the science behind it. Some of them have bit their own words as you can see their ridiculous pics in the picture/member board. Yet, here they are bashing. Ironic, isn't it?

Dude your old, have no muscle and look really creppy. Shut The Fuck Up and Suck Mike's Balls You Hairy Bastard Of A Old Man. Really of all people you have no right to be critical of anyone who competes seeing as you couldn't even beat out many average local women competitors in terms of overall mass, and I am talking about figure competitors.

Well Mr. Arvilla. I think you and Laura ( Cheri ) Look great. Good luck with your show. You are both  (from what I read ) very motivated and you have fun with it. That's all that matters. Laura you are beautiful ! Don't stop posting pictures because of the little wannabe children hiding behind their computers, ripping people apart. They are either little kids or Gay, because I don't know what girl they are looking at. They wish they had a girl like you. Mike, It seems to me you have made improvements from your last show. I think you should dial it in for the second show rather than the fist. I don't think 2or 3 weeks is enough time. Then again I don't know your physique. you might be able to rip up fast. Anyway, Both of you should keep posting your progress pics. It motivates others.

Mike, you did an awesome job last year in transforming your physique.  An awesome feat considering how fat you were before you started dieting down.  That's why I had high expectations for your next outing.  I figured you would be able to pack on a few more punds, start the diet leaner, hold on to more muscle and dial it in even better.  Why are you rushing to do a show ???

he doesnt have a pro genetics but i can take a guy like that and make him win as in WIN his class state show placing first or second overall,, qualifying for nationals and placing as in actually making 15 or so on the national stage,,worse than him made 14 and 13 and i wored with them!

he need more work on lower body,,and use the drugs diffrerently and using variation of ai/ae  and more time,,as simple as that

his physiqe is not bad,,its just 2 dimentioned and for the 3 dimention you have to have specific products and habits that must be followed to the t. with those habits another 10-20lb of quality lean mass will come along and he will be just another guy standing on the national stage placing 16th

he got good physiqe that could have been 20 times better if he had worked with someone and utilized hormones right,,
he doesnt have a pro genetics but i can take a guy like that and make him win as in WIN his class state show placing first or second overall,, qualifying for nationals and placing as in actually making 15 or so on the national stage,,worse than him made 14 and 13 and i wored with them!

he need more work on lower body,,and use the drugs diffrerently and using variation of ai/ae  and more time,,as simple as that

his physiqe is not bad,,its just 2 dimentioned and for the 3 dimention you have to have specific products and habits that must be followed to the t. with those habits another 10-20lb of quality lean mass will come along and he will be just another guy standing on the national stage placing 16th


What type of lower body work would you recommend? Would it be that much different to what he is/has done? For what its worth I got a lot of respect for Mike.

Alright then, good luck. Best way you can prepare for it is to use it as a ramp phase, and take it with the tempo, don't overdo the diuretics.

I made the comment when he posted the last pics, that he didnt improve on any of his weak areas, or improve his overall physique, and when it came time one week and the day before the show, he would look worse than he did last year..............and by my revelation, it seems to be dead on........mike get a real trainer, learn how to push your body beyond failure to the extent of killing your body, mike evidently you havent mastered the concept of building the body, you need to go back to the drawing board and do stuff that makes your body grow and respond...........good luck at the show and gettin g it together for next years events.

Good post bro. All too often this happens with the novice bodybuilder, they do a contest go full speed give 120% and by next year come the second contest they stray from the basic, they mix it up, and don't give enough effort, and put themselves on auto pilot, and drive at 60%, telling themselves it's all they need. You only get better by taking steps forward and that means increasing the pain. <insert shirt idea here> <no pain no gain>

Mike,
last year you had to drop alot of weight to get into contest shape and as such couldn't really focus on muscle growth. This year without the excess fat to drop I thought that you might have made some drastic improvements what happened?

I saw some offseason pics of you and it appeared like you were just taking it easy and not pushing it to the limit.

why would you think that 5 weeks would be enough for you? With one week left I am not sure that there is enough time to come in contest shape.

good luck and stay positive

Mike ( like The Beef ) carries a disproportionate amount of fat around the base of his chest ( it's not gyno as people say.) The Beef needs to be in great shape not to have issues in the area around the base of his chest.

Mike have you ever thought about a little lipo on the sides and base if the pecs? It would make life a whole lot better.

I have exactly the same problem - that is where i hold it aswell. If i was gonna compete i would certainly get it done. I think titus got it done at 1 stage, although his was prob gyno and he was prob just lieing !!

Mike a well seems to bust his ass and is looking better all the time. With that kind of drive he is going to continue to make huge improvements. He looks great. Everyone talking trash, go get up on a stage or a major photoshoot in front of a bunch of people. Let me tell you It takes some guts. Mike and Laura. I hope you continue to post your pics.

Being honest, the dude dont look great for a juicer, but hes givin it a go and hes trying, and hes gettin on a stage which most of us aint done. Just dont take it so serious mike, people are always gonna bust your balls

mike does have the advantage of experience on his side.  He might not be as lean as last time, but he's gonna be on cruise control when it comes to tanning, last minute diet, etc.  That peace of mind will benefit him some, when other guys in slightly leaner shape (doing a show for the first time) are worrying about these things.

He was (complacent) ...up to about 4 weeks ago.  He was on again/off again regarding doing the show.  He knows he should have started farther out, but decided to make a go at it.  These last few weeks have been really hard and draining (both physically and mentally), but he pushed forward anyway and didn't give up. I have a lot of respect for that whether you all do or not (and it would be quite apparent that those who don't have most likely never got ready for a show before).  He's also not on here posting pictures (which are to most ... unflattering) because he's looking for a pat on the back, he's doing it to get some feed back (constructive, not bashing) on what people think he could/should do.  LLES was able to assist Michael this time around as he was in the process of moving.  You may not like Mike and that's ok, but ya have to give him credit for trying.  He enjoys what he's doing and that's what's most important.

I wasn't going to do the show because of lack of funds ...........(as you all know bodybuilding is very expensive)

Laura was doing it and i was 2 help her
at 5 weeks out i said screw it (after seeing pictures of Justin Harris floating around on the internet i got fired up!)
i had minimal to little in the way of "supplements"................i did the best i could
and I'm doing the show!

yes ill probably do the Southern States or another show after (money permitting)
i have no sponsors/no "help"............so i rely more on hard work ie: dieting/cardio rather than drugs, simply because i can't afford too many
i love bodybuilding/i love competing and i love laura

that's about it

Best of luck to Mike and Laura -- two serious bodybuilders with the DISCIPLINE, GUTS & DESIRE to compete.

99% of bodybuilders will never compete.
90% don't have the discipline to diet down.
8% don't have the guts to withstand public scrutiny of their physiques.
1% don't have the desire.

Only 1% step on stage.

Congrats to Mike & Laura for being that 1%.

lol, and there i was about to give you kudos for modesty.

cool  mike. it does take a lot of courage, determination and discipline to do a show. i am under no delusions about that and i respect you for that, but, think of it this way, how much of these attributes would you have if you couldn't take an online beating?

as i've said before, i don't believe anyone here at getbig really wants to just break your balls for the sake of it. you would be a complete retard (no less than, seriously) if you thought you were going to get your ass kissed here and i don't believe you're retarded.

you want 'constructive criticism', re-read the past 8 pages because the statements made re your physique, no matter how blunt, are as brutally honest as you'll ever get. i'm sure scott is a very nice guy but if you think he told you anything with those nice politically correct comments then...well, refer to aforementioned retarded comment.

the rest is up to you mike. you can put a positive spin or a negative one. i guarantee nobody here will be losing sleep over it.

i remember reading about how dorian yates improved his back. seems hard to believe with hindsight, but apparently yates lost to momo benaziza because his back development wasn't up to par.

anyway, the story goes that yates went back to the gym (post contest) with a renewed focus. he hated his back. he would shout in the gym mirror, "YOUR BACK IS SHIT YATES!" training session after training session and the rest is history.

yes, you've got lots of guts to get up there mike and yes, more than 99% of the population. if you want reassurance and confirmation of that fact then please feel free to re-read scott's post and many like it over and over, or go and stare at your trophy. if you want to take the next step then toughen the fuck up and start hating again ie "your legs are shit arvilla!" go on, you can do it. say it every time you get around to legs or back day and maybe one day people will be saying how fucking awesome arvilla's legs are and mean it.

mike, some folks are saying the reason you haven't posted recent pics (when you used to post them all the time) is that you're in bad shape and you're shooting oil into your biceps and delts.

Best of luck to Mike and Laura -- two serious bodybuilders with the DISCIPLINE, GUTS & DESIRE to compete.

99% of bodybuilders will never compete.
90% don't have the discipline to diet down.
8% don't have the guts to withstand public scrutiny of their physiques.
1% don't have the desire.

Only 1% step on stage.

Congrats to Mike & Laura for being that 1%.
Let's get realistic.  Guts and discipline?  Like it's courageous and honorable to compete in an event which requires zero skill and is reliant on extreme drug usage.  This has to be the funniest post I've read on getbig.
If you choose to compete, that's great, knock yourself out.  Take a bunch of drugs, do another hour of cardio a week, and compete...I could careless.
Put things into perspective though:
how many people compete without drugs?
how many have the genetics to warrant "competing"?
how many can conceive of spending $1000 on gear to win a $500 first place check?
Never confuse competitive bodybuilding with something honorable or having "guts".  Fact is, 95% of people competing look like garbage and should discontinue their drug use, it only magnifies their poor physique.  Usually, competing is a great way for most juicers to rationalize their illogical drug abuse, nothing more.  It places a purpose behind a pointless action.
If someone is a natural competitor, they are more about pushing themselves to the limit, but still need validation from a judge, etc.
I personally have never had a desire to compete and only think about it when someone asks me, "Do you compete?"  I think to myself, what would I gain by competing in a game of "who's cycle/genetics are best"  But hey, it's great if you enjoy it.  Do what makes you happy.
Here's an idea though, compete in something that requires talent.  That is a true competition.  Fighting, juggling, etc.  Something that requires an actual skill.

Mike , you did a good job last yr getting ripped and honestly look bigger and more balanced this yr.
BUT based only on this and other pics in this thread (so I could be wrong) you need to be leaner.
In fact I would keep on this track and do the Florida state masters in Orlando on AUG 25th.
See how you look ON STAGE at this event and decide.
In terms of finance and time to prepare, I sincerely feel the AUG 25 show would work well for you.

Since it's not working very well for your legs don't be afraid of trying something else. I would suggest doing squats 3 times per week and give it time until the body adapts. You need to give it some time.

Good idea. I'd even go so far as to say to do some legs every day in addition to the 3x/week pounding. I'm no guru, but I know when I have a lagging part (shoulders, triceps) or something I'd like to grow more (legs, abs), if I do my "normal" stuff and every day do something for that part -- that part seems to grow a whole lot more.

So, for example, do your squats/presses/hacksquats on mon/wed/fri. Then on tue/thur/sat do 100 rep leg extensions...50 w/ feet wide/out and 50 w/ feet together.

And, when you do cardio, select the exercises that work your legs the most. Bike sucks. I like the stair-stepper that has actual physical stairs that rotate -- like an escalator with stairs -- NOT the normal stair-stepper because that's too easy to cheat on.

...do this, ESPECIALLY if you're doing any enhancers...even if you aren't, do it for a week or two every month.

Like I said, I'm no guru, but this sort of thing worked for me in the past...

Are you referring to what I wrote as "shock principle"? Cuz I didn't mean to write out any specific set of rules -- imo, those rules fuck people up more than anything.

Experiment with a lot of things. See what works for you. Do it until it doesn't work. Change until you find something that works again. Repeat.

Like, do a combo of HIT and Milos' style...where you do heavy squats coupled with 100 rep leg curls. Be creative...that's one thing the best trainers I've worked with all have in common. When you look at a bench press bench, you see 50 exercises, not just bench press.


Like, to make stubborn calves grow, you're supposed to do them for 6 straight days.  smaller bodyparts tho - like forearms, biceps, etc.  Not thighs or chest.

I'm actually heading to the library tomorrow, I'm gonna look for those 1992 style books and post some of the cool stuff from there.

Cuz my legs are big.
i don't know, yeah your legs are big but not huge, what i see there is just not giving the legs any chance to recover, my legs are sore for at least four days after i do 5 work sets of squats and 5 work sets of hacks.

Come on Camel. There is absoluteley NO evidence to back up that claim. Roids in bodybuilding didn't become wide spread until about 1962. Reeves last contest was in 1950.

My God, sarcasm in two sequential sentences AND a rolling eyes smiley. Well done! I have been pwned!

In all seriousness I have nothing against you, however, your arguments regarding bodybuilding have not changed at all since even years ago when you and sarcasm were going at it. Your posts were actually entertaining then and some of your vids were pretty funny. Now your posts are old and repetitious and your attempts at correction of other posters' grammatical errors aren't anything solid either.

In my opinion, fear of over training holds more people back than helps people along.

I see dozens of people in the gym who don't make progress talk to me about over training.  "I stopped squatting every week, because I'm scared of over training."
"I don't do too many drop sets, don't want to over train."

You can over train....but I think a lot of people who think they're over trained are just tired....from working hard!

Tonite...............(thurs)

i day out from the show..........
Got spray-tanned last night.......(thanks Steve at http://www.supplementology.net/ )


carbing up today .........posing and evaluation from Steve and Bobby and Beth (thanks guys!)(both Bobby and Beth looking to go pro
Beth won the Jr USA, Bobby getting back in the game after a 10 yr lay-off
guy is like 5 ft 8" 250 lbs shredded right now at 3 weeks out from the Southern States

we will get spray-tanned again later tonite...............
rest up,more posing,we are also restricting our water (1/2 gallon today
half of that tommorow)
then it's showtime baby!

Bobby and Beth run www.stayfitmd.com
great great people

i guess the camera was really shitty in the first few pics...because this one looks a lot better...its still not one day out conditioning but you have some lines in your quads and good seperation.  That scar in your abdominal region really detracts from your physique though...almost mistook it for loose skin or fat in the earlier pictures

looking good though...hope you place nicely!

Mike listen carefully, this will improve your stage look by 20 %.


BRING A THICK DICTIONARY TO PUMP UP YOUR CALFES BEFORE HITTING THE STAGE, DO 6 MINUTES NON STOP dictionary calf raises bare-foot. your gonna get 2 inches bigger calfes, for atleast an hour of the great pump. trust me son.

Have to ask why you would be carbing up if you are behind 2 days out?

I agree.

Mike, do you think carb loading is the best thing to do considering your condition?

Very risky move.

I did not personally.............. i wanted to come into this show depleted (because i was so far behind)

i was told i was wayyy to flat and to carb up today and tomorrow

honestly I'm thinking low-carbs tomorrow right up until the show

the carbs filled me out but i look a lot smoother as well]
it's a learning process......i learn something new every day about competitive bodybuilding

I agree with your thoughts, I would have came in totally depleted also.

Be careful with your carb up.  Remember those carbs bring water along with them.

Good luck.

In my opinion, fear of over training holds more people back than helps people along.

I see dozens of people in the gym who don't make progress talk to me about over training.  "I stopped squatting every week, because I'm scared of over training."
"I don't do too many drop sets, don't want to over train."

You can over train....but I think a lot of people who think they're over trained are just tired....from working hard!

very good post...All a person has to do is take a look at speed skaters and bicycle racers...These guys train almost every day with reps that bodybuilders couldn't even phatom...And their quads and calves are massive...

Being flat AND fat is definitely not the way to go. When you're behind fat-wise you really need to be full and have some sort of pop to the muscles. If they're filled with glycogen, they'll provide him with a much, much tighter look.

Dude is not flat though, maybe he feels he is but is not.  Just too much BF, and water on top of that is really gonna be bad.  muscles only "pop" when you are lean enough and the skin is thin. If Mike was lean and truely flat then yeah carb up some but thats not what is going on in this case.

I guess we will see come show time.  I wish him the best of luck and I think its cool how he shows us his progress and preperation, be cool if more people did that.

What gyno? I see no gyno...just lack of outer pec so there is a divit on the side.

And yea, Mike, you CAN work your outer pec...if you don't believe me, try doing everything on your chest day wide-grip and see if you're sore on just your outer pec the next day...my outer pec sucks, so I'm trying hard to build it up.

you look a lot better than the camera pics mike.

in any case, i agree with maloney, you look like you're filling up nicely. you will look a lot better than being flat and fat.

you're doing the show. that means giving it your best shot mike (is there any other way to do a show?). smile and be proud of what you've accomplished. flex that body like you own the contest and everyone is there to see you. 8)

good luck! :)

mike, while i love to bust your balls and occasionally cyber with cheri, i gotta shoot you straight here (as someone who does compete).

you're not shrededd this time so you cant afford to come in flat.  last time you could, since you were so tight.  not this time.  carb the fuck up man!

I agree with this assessment, enjoy the show and get some pics of that hot wife of yours bent over when she is not looking hehehehe.
How you look UNDER THE LIGHTS is what matters. Get some carbs in ,have fun , look at the contest pics of you ON STAGE, talk to the judges after the show, etc.

cuz he's using synthol to win a trophy in a local NPC show.

i got made fun of in school because of my cheap ass kicks and my nappy hair.

it's only fair that mike gets made fun of for cheating in a sporting event.

I don't know if the guy uses synthol and could care less. Rules? wtf? against various enhancement substances ???give me an f'n break. Since when does anyone in a NON tested show follow any actual rules on banned substances.

Anyhooo, don't know or care what big Mike did to prep for this event. Good luck MIKE

Seriously, if the "oil" looks absurd I can tell you from a judges stand pt that you don't place well, looking like you get stung by a bee hive LOL.
But seriously, why pick on a little synthol when the figire girls have boob implants in a "figure" comp? :o

Unless the contest makes a valid effort to actually ban all substances, who cares????

Mike, gotta agree with Stavios here, you do look a lot better than I thought based on the earlier pics.  Good job for the time you had.

Keep up the good work, and I think the carb up is working for you!

BTW, are you certain you have gyno?  Have you had it checked out?  It looks to me like some subcutaneous fat around your lower pecs more than gyno...probably would go away if you were just a few pounds leaner.


Good luck this weekend!

I've chimed in many times giving you and Cheri Lane a hard time. On a serious note, you seem to have a relationship that most on this board envy. Two people with similar interests who love and motivate each other to reach higher. You both look good, outstanding if you consider what the average person your ages looks like.   Good Luck to both of you.  I will bust your chops again, but not today.
