incredible physique, goes to prove my belief that Bob is one of the most underrated underappreciated bodybuilders in the history of the game, that's perfection right there.

who cares if hes doing 'well' financially.. he should compete again because he is a bodybuilder.. he shouldnt compete for the money only but compete because it's what he loves..

but i do understand why he isnt competing.. and if he does decide to retire.. he did leave with a great win..

Bob had good overall shape and looks GREAT in those shots.

That said, I remember it took him a long time to get his pro card and that his bugaboo was how he looked the day of the show.  He would have an overall smooth look in most shows.

Unfortunately thats what happens in subjective sports, where it comes down to points, just ask Roy Jones, Jr. about the 1988 Olympics. Agreed on the robbing too, you bust your ass and everyone in the crowd knows you won (Roy Jones in boxing) or did better than ALOT of the guys on stage (Chick in bodybuilding) and still it sometimes comes down to some clueless judges. Gotta be a crappy feeling.

Not trying to suck your dick here, but you def got him beat in that pic.  You look like you're carrying a good 10 lbs more muscle.

Honestly, sometimes you gotta wonder what the hell the judges are looking at. Bobs physique has some similarities to Dennis Wolf i reckon, except much better calves and a better back. So Wolf placed 5th this year at the O, Bob you could have made the top 3!! ;D

Hmmm, no. Bob is the Bruce Springsteen of bbing: hard-working and all, and earnest, but not perfect.

Post by: Vince B on February 28, 2008, 02:40:00 AM
No doubt Bob has the size. Looks good in side shots and front lat. Okay in the other poses. Inner calves weak, weak just above the knees, hams could be better, and biceps not in sync with triceps. He poses well to hide the weak parts. Just shows you how hard it is to place near the top in most bodybuilding contests. The first 5 or 6 are usually compared a lot so their places mean something. Not sure anyone lower than 10th would have been judged properly.

Well Chick, eventough your poor placings in the end you are one of the very few guys who actually made something like a "career" in the bodybuilding sceme (altough not on stage) and probably more money than most guys who placed ahead of you, so all is well that ends well. ;)

Bob has bagged my photos so I am entitled to comment on his physique.

He is one of those guys with unusual shape. Just above the knees and elbows there is not much mass. Look at the way he turns his wrist to make his biceps look longer. Judges notice those things. His thighs look like turnips. Calves are cut but look weird and not much front and back. Unusual ab structure, too. That is why he placed out of the money. A big bodybuilder who looks great in the gym and walking around.

I didn't know enough about training to get to the Olympia level. Neither was I willing to take drug regimens that might have compensated for the lack of training knowledge.

The last guy to have Bob's turnip legs was Reg Lewis way back in the 1960s.

Post by: Vince B on February 28, 2008, 07:37:05 PM
It is interesting that Bob is getting special consideration here from the Getbiggers. So he should because he has size beyond what most could ever build. It must be tough to reach his level and know you will never be a big winner. Sometimes we get handed a poor hand re competition and those who get near the top don't always keep winning. If you have a peculiar structure then you can't expect to win no matter how skillfully you try to cover those flaws.

I think I had a good shape but nowhere near the size of Bob. There is no way I would risk my health for a trophy and title. Experimenting with 2 Dianabol a day for a couple of months was about as reckless as I got. There is no guarantee that I would have been bigger if I used more gear. Had I gone to live in California instead of Sydney in 1971 who knows what I might have achieved.

One week out from the 1975 Mr Australia contest where I placed last in my class thanks to Paul Graham and Arnold putting me last.

Those of us who never got those huge arms have no idea what the possessors must feel when they look at themselves in the mirror and see what most just dream about. I wonder how objective many are when assessing themselves? I give credit to anyone who has been huge. Many here believe it is mainly drugs but if that were so there would be countless thousands of huge guys around and that is just not so. It is still quite rare for anyone to build a cold 19 inch plus arm if he is 5-10 or shorter and in competition condition.

In all fairness, "ALL DRUGS" means that for those who do get to Bob's size, it could not be attained without drugs.  I don't think everyone who says that thinks that they can get that size with drugs, merely that no pro could get to anything close to that size without them.  At Bob's height, I could see him being up to maybe 220 in contest shape with no drugs, which is still damn big, but not close to what he achieved.  Of course drugs are a significant aid and I don't think any bodybuilder denies that.

There are so many unsubstantiated beliefs in bodybuilding. The stuff people believe about drugs is unreasonable. How would most know anything at all about those drugs? It is all hearsay and anecdotal experience. There is nothing in the scientific literature that informs us of modern anabolic stacking, etc.

What bothers me is that almost everyone has abandoned the quest for natural training methods. As soon as most guys reach sticking points they reach for shortcuts. Today those shortcuts are beyond crazy because much of what is used is untested and dangerous. It really is sad to see what bodybuilding has become. Who out there is proud to be called a bodybuilder? Maybe a few natural guys.

I dislike the way this forum resembles the creationist believers. Eventually so many believe the same things that most assume it must be true. Surely, believing something doesn't make it true.

I believe it is possible to get huge without drugs or supplements.

There were many champs who got quite big without bodybuilding drugs. We can go back to pre 1956 to see that. Imagine, then if guys like that had access to modern gyms and science? Who knows what is possible re hypertrophy and really extreme training?

It is interesting that Bob is getting special consideration here from the Getbiggers. So he should because he has size beyond what most could ever build. It must be tough to reach his level and know you will never be a big winner. Sometimes we get handed a poor hand re competition and those who get near the top don't always keep winning. If you have a peculiar structure then you can't expect to win no matter how skillfully you try to cover those flaws.

I think I had a good shape but nowhere near the size of Bob. There is no way I would risk my health for a trophy and title. Experimenting with 2 Dianabol a day for a couple of months was about as reckless as I got. There is no guarantee that I would have been bigger if I used more gear. Had I gone to live in California instead of Sydney in 1971 who knows what I might have achieved.

One week out from the 1975 Mr Australia contest where I placed last in my class thanks to Paul Graham and Arnold putting me last.

I always give credit where it is due . Vince you look very good in that pic.Very nice shape.
I was not trying to bust your balls earlier.  People don't give Chick enough credit.  He is a very big guy. I personally think he has a nice physique.  and about the whole drug thing, I understand that. But I would bet good money that Bob is not taking anything now.  I met him at the Europa and he was still very big.

now to tell the bobbie only had arms? are you fuckin out of you mind? have you taked a look at his torse?? his arms are his WEAK PART,,everything on that fella was developed from peca to delts to back to tight waist flat abdomen ,,legs were very big and shape was good,,he was sliced and diced plenty of time,,he had very good condition plenty of times,,had contacts and was on magazines more times then you have fingers to count,,

i swear vince you are out of your mind and im not kidding,,his phyqie was COMPLETE AND VERY SIMILAR TO 80S!! HE DID NTO ABUSE AS MUCH AS THE FELLAS NOW DAYS,,THIS IS ONE THING THAT GOES FOR HIM,,if 80s criteria stil applied in 2000 he would make top 3 every single competition he entered

sadly bodybuilding is no more mike mentzer like or lee haney like or even bobbie chick like,,,those are oldies and he succeeded in getting himself into that group of oldioes but goodies by determination,,you will see that at the end his physiqe will be more remembered than many of us in the 90s and 2000s

I would've had Bob #10 at the 2002 O

Personally, I agree with gh15 & say that Bob was just a little too late coming into the field.

I also see where Vince says Bob has some abnormal shapes in his muscles (thighs/abs).  I believe it's entirely genetics & not an injury or anything else that makes them appear that way.  He also has wide hips/ass which throws off his aesthetics.

aspiring my ass,
that was his prediction , just watch the bfto 2002.

there was no way in hell he should have placed behind titus, tamali and a bunch of other 3rd tier pros

Bob was aspiring to be in the top six, but that was better than King, who outright said that he would "crack that top six."  ;D

gh15. My criticisms of Bob stand. It is irrelevant how I look or where I would place today. Heck, some of the women have surpassed me!

It is still possible to build 19 inch arms naturally. Where is the proof that this is not possible?

Bob has turnip thighs and strange looking calves. Arms are weak near the elbows. Abs are weird. All the arguing in the world can't change that. The guy is huge and looks great walking around and in the gym.

That Kamali placed ahead on him in 2002 means nothing since those below 6th weren't compared and judged carefully.

The problem with bodybuilding today is that we don't know who worked hard, etc. The drugs have ruined the sport, perhaps forever.

Bob has bagged my photos so I am entitled to comment on his physique.

He is one of those guys with unusual shape. Just above the knees and elbows there is not much mass. Look at the way he turns his wrist to make his biceps look longer. Judges notice those things. His thighs look like turnips. Calves are cut but look weird and not much front and back. Unusual ab structure, too. That is why he placed out of the money. A big bodybuilder who looks great in the gym and walking around.

That is the honest truth
