Title: Bob, what do the pros really think of getbig?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on April 18, 2008, 10:22:40 AM
I bet you must hear from a lot of pros about getbig since you still post here.  Most like to act like they hate this board yet they can't seem to look away and they always return here for more abuse.

Yea, the maturity of these professional drug addicts is just stellar. None of the smack talk and self-publicising garbage ever comes from their GH enlarged mouths.

I'm sure they all think its kind of a joke.  People just rag on them anyway so they figure why even bother posting here.

I love this notion that the pros are these lofty, enlightened souls who are mercilessly attacked by the uneducated hordes.

 It was the likes of Kamali, Prince et al who kicked off the whole sorry trend of cyber wars. Prince did better at Mayhem where he was free to abuse and moderate to his heart's content. On GB it is a little different, apart from Chick's occasional abuses of his powers, everyone is equally as worthless and there is no special protection.

Actually, most of the pros are down to earth laid back guys and don't expect special treatment or anything.  That's why it sucks that they get ragged on so much.

They actually started the trend. They used forums to 'rag' on each other and other forum users, using their own names and aliases.

 As I said already, they started all the smackdown and 'owning' shit. Guys like Kamali, Prince, Ray, Milos etc have all used the internet to launch multiple tirades and start juvenile name calling.  They also tend to flip out and become embroiled in arguments very quickly. I don't think meaningful debate is on the cards.

 They are as much responsible for any 'ragging' as the next man.

Yeah its pretty cool to be able to come onto a forum where you can't be put in "time out" just because you threaten a mods fragile ego.

Point well made.  However, I don't think all the pros would act in the same fashion as those guys.  Most pros are pretty much just regular guys and don't feel like getting constantly ragged on when they put as much hard work as they do into their training.

IFBB "pros" expect to be treated as "pros" whether it'd be in real life or on the internet.
Shame their status in the "sport" depend on whether they recieve their drugs in the mail.

Most pro bodybuilders spend their spare time volunteering at orphanages, or at the local YMCA helping the underprivileged.

They just don't have the spare time to post here.

MusclePhone alerted me to Paco Bautista serving lunch at a soup kitchen in Denver.

while i'm sure that some/many of them train with intensity, I don't consider putting in about 5 hours a week at the gym "hard work." (strict dieting aside.)

I guess my opinions on that matter all depend on how much the individual is making.  I would say any responsible pro making less than 100,000 a year should most definately have a full time job, not only for the income but for the benefits.  Working a 40 hour week by no means would inhibit most of them from training 2 hours a day.

eating right and all the other things are very hard!

Agreed, but Coleman is proof that having a full-time career and being a successful bodybuidler on top of it is very achievable.

i agree that the strict dieting component is challenging.  (but that only happens a couple of times a year for most pros.)  i was responding to the post that emphasized all the "hard work" that pros put into their "training".  There are countless gym rats that train as intensely as many pros do.  All the "hard work" that the pros put in the gym is straight out of the pages of FLEX.

How would these poor souls nap 4 times a day or participate in 'other' rigorous activities such as 'laying on the couch watching tv' or 'yell at wife/gf to prepare next meal'

Who cares!!!!!  Lets dance!  People have called me a liar on here time and time again for saying what I weigh and lift.  I choose not to discuss other topics as should the pros.

just pull any of Tom Prince's old posts and you'll see what we mean.  Oh yeah, the fact they endorse all these snake oils and help supp companies prey on unsuspecting people, knowing full well that the only way they acheived their physique is thru drugs.

your weight and lifts are believeable, what i'd really like to hear is what type of cycle you run?

I will say that I tend to believe in Milos' statements over GH15's.
