For anyone planning on bringing a video camera and interviewing people at the
Arnold Mr O...
Bring a small electronic scale. Get one from walmart for $25. Keep it handy in a backpack or whatever.
List the outrageous weight claims of pros, including those competing at the ASC and not.
One-by-one, meet them on camera, shake hands, ask a few fluff questions, ask what they're weighing, allow them to feed some bullshit number about "cruising at 290 right now", then..
Whip out the scale, place it on the groun and ask the bodybuilder to step on it
Let's see which pros are liars and which are keeping it REAL. On Camera.

hahahahhahaa, at the end of the weekend i'll GAURANTEE there won't be one footprint on that scale. ;D
-
Useless. Why would they step on the scale if they are lying?

Then they will have to look into the camera and mumble their way through an excuse.
Instant classic moment. Deer in headlights.
-
how about a challenge of not doing a thumbs up pose for a picture. I think they will just look at the camera in confusion and still do the thumbs up.
-
Then ask them if they were drug tested as is in the IFBB rule book.Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmm. ::)

And the moment of "zooming in on the pro's face when fanboy interviewer suddenly dares him to step on the scale" would be priceless.
And there will be a few pros who walk the walk, and they'll get props forever for it.
I think some renegade team should do it. it could be the story of the expo. Get them to give you a NUMBER first. Repeat it. "Really? 280? Seriously?" then your partner puts the scale down, you zoom in on his face, and ask him to step on the scale.
Could be beautiful, man.

That's the challenge right there. Tell them you have NO desire to have your oil checked so they should put that thing away...immediately.
-
Who ever did that would get TONS of props! I doubt anyone has the balls to do it tho

PLease...this was the catalyst that prompted Lonnie Teper to have a weigh in at the Ironman a few years back, and to quite a surprise of the fans...the weights were pretty much right on the money of what the athlete claimed...

Bob, please note that my challenge included all athletes, "including those competing at the ASC and not".
It's the guys at the tables who will tell the biggest fairy tales. The guys who didn't get an invite to the Arnold. The trash-talkers who spend the year telling us how big they are, then finishing with a gift 10th at a bottom show. You know the type.

It's more the "industry goofs" that tell the tales. The pro's for the most part could care less...

So Tom Prince is a goof?
Thats not very nice Rob

You're right. I cannot recall and pros who made a big deal about the numbers, bragged about the numbers, or tried to wager ten grand with kids on forums...
-

Yeah sure with 8 lbs of clothes, sneakers, and pockets full of cell phones, pagers, wallets, Ultra fuel and a couple 2.5lb plates.

Why lie about weight? You look the same no matter what weight you give.
-
Why lie about weight? You look the same no matter what weight you give.
For the same reasons someone would lie about their height......

Because "I weigh 300 pounds and I'm going to come in next year with 30 pounds of new muscle and I'm going to crush you internet idiots with your pencils" is pretty intimidating, isn't it?

Hahaha! Kamali must think we're IFBB judges, or something.....
-
Why don't YOU do it?

Why don't YOU do it?
It's kinda cold in Ohio this time of year.

You're right, I don't recall that either. I do remember a certain idiot making a bet as HE thought it was a big deal, being called on it, and subsequently welching as it was a sure loss for him.

I remember you jumping all over the bet too.
i mean, you kinda legitimized True Adonis by accepting his wager, hard to deny that. Alone, he's an anonymous kid on the web shouting. But when you tried to take the $10k bet and set up a weigh-in, you put him on the map.
-
So Tom Prince is a goof?
How much, Tom? Really?
Prove it.
-
Does anyone recall the video of Ron gettig out the tape measure for Trey Brewer and his arms were only 20 inches despite his claims of 22-23 inches? That was hilarious, at the end Ron asked, So how big are your arms? and laughingly Trey insisted they were still 22-23 inches.
-

hahahahahah.....are you saying that this is Tom's official weighing scale these days, TU

I didn't legitimize Adonis, I exposed him for what he is/ was...a blowhard writing checks with his mouth he couldn't cash.

sounds like you two have a lot in common

is that why tamali claimed to be 300lb ripped ?
-

that's my excuse and I live in Ohio.

ohio sucks. kamali sucks.

240 isn't anonymous. If you need any of his personal information, contact MattT. ;D

I think they were 21.5
Still pretty big

I hope somebody gives this idea a shot. The look on pros' faces when asked to step on the scale would be priceless. The following 10 seconds where they try to create some sort of lie would be even more amusing.
-
Haha - good thread - 240 and Chick arguing just like the good old days! ;D
-

Yes, among those IQ50-monsters a threat like this will lead to immediate flaring of their nostrils!

Look for a video from Martyr23 and myself in the days following the show! The details have already been hashed out, and we are just waiting on the calendar to catch up.

Bump ;)

Now 240 I know you are trying to reduce pollution on the planet but it would be more useful to put your old electronics, plastics etc in the recycle bin rather than recycle your old threads.

Hahahahaha! The would run for the hills. Except Kai would ask if they are from L.a. Then he could get a free ride back
