Title: Chick are you EVER going to compete again???
Post by: MikeThaMachine on March 19, 2008, 09:11:27 PM
Well we all know you are online now, so has anything happened in the last few months that might have you thinking about competing sometime in the future.

Do you think you could bring the conditioning you did when you were younger or do you think it would not be worth what it would take?

Bob summarizes his position on the second page of his 2002 BFTO picture thread:

Why take the paycut??

Are you saying that working for bodybuilding.com and/or being athlete's rep and competing are mutually exclusive somehow?  Can't you do both?

I'm saying it would cost me more than I'd be making....

That said...what would be the goal? I'm already on the Olympia stage every year.

Why not? You know how to put together a great routine and have classical lines and shape, the true fans love that kind of stuff. Are you telling me you don't like being in the spotlight with everyone cheering you on?

Sure...but I also liked scoring touchdowns and being the BMOC...but there comes a time one has to move on

So you are saying you are too old and can't hack it anymore?  No shame, you had a good physique that was underrated in my opinion.

That's a bit different though. I think you're still capable of competing, and competing well.

But couldn't you still work for bb.com at the shows you don't do? I mean you'd probably just do one or two shows a year, if it doesn't work out then go back to MCing...

It's still a busines, bro....compete twice to make even money at best and qualify for the O in a attempt to make the lower top 12 at best?

DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE TO ME AT THIS POINT

Healthy outlook. Let's not forget Chick has been in this game a loooooong time. Longer than most if not all active Pros. He's been an American Gladiator, a top 2nd tier competitor and an MC and spokesman. He's done a nice job of remaining pertinent to the business.

One thing though, Chick, you do look "on". Either you are, or you got some awesome PCT that I need to get a hold of.

You honestly don't think after carrying 240+ lbs of solid weight for about 20 years that he would be able to hold decent size training regularly without gear?

Of course I do, but he looks pretty hyooge in some recent vids.

Plus, 20 yrs of hormone assisted training might result in the opposite result once he comes off.

25 years btw his first show, 1981, and last-2006...I'd say his been there and done that.

Look, I am don't speak for Bob Chic and know him only as fan like most on here at Get Big.
But I do know the guy did his first show at age 15 and took 13 tough years as an NPC bodybuilder to win his pro card and the USA.  He qualified for the O and went out a winner at the masters pro worlds.
Bob seems to be pretty happy and well balanced at this pt in his life with nothing left to prove as a bodybuilder.
Even if he still has the stuff to still don the trunks, what would he do it for at his pt?
If I or some other Joe Blow gets back up on stage at a Mr masters Podunk, it is for personal reasons, nothing more.
It is different for a pro I suspect.
I am glad we have guy like Bob doing pro BB weekly and staying active in the sport from other avenues.

Wow, Bob...really? 13? I thought the first was the UTICA show for you... I was in that teen class with you....

I started in 1980.

And Howie...I agree...I have competed last time 4 yrs ago at 40 for personal reasons...to overcome severe injuries.

There'd be next to no good reason for Bob to bother with competing ever again.

I'm serious here.   i've watched a lot of cop shows, and all the good cops 'tune up' a suspect every now and then to get to the bottom of a tough case or avenge a fallen comrade.

The cops who refused to strike a deserving suspect were usually IA rats.

No offense howard, but most pros/ schmoes/ fans/ judges/ anyone would rather hear Bob's witty response to a question about beating suspects, than they would like to read another 17 daily threads about your take on why drugs should be banned from the sport.

No offense or anything, but people prefer to read interesting things.  Tonight we learned that Bob was a cop with a little dirt on his hands, Lee Thompson will never be mistaken for Flex Lewis, and that you feel steroids are bad.  Which two pieces of info do you think most people will retain tomorrow?
