Title: Do you hate pro bodybuilding?
Post by: body88 on May 23, 2008, 05:49:28 PM
This thread is meant to spark discussion on the current state of bodybuilding. When I first started posting here years ago, I was interested in pro bb. Since then, I have come to view the "sport" as a total joke, and I am ashamed of the current form of pro bodybuilding. Back in it's golden days, bodybuilding was a great activity, with great physiques, and a healthy look. Now pro bb is a total joke, drama everywhere, gay for pay, massive amounts of chemicals, twinks and bloated retards tipping the scales at over 300 pounds. basically every pro is a pathological lier, and most are about to die.


I come here to grab advice on training, and to talk about training, but as far as pro bodybuilding goes - I hate it. Honestly, just step back and look at the current state of the "sport" - I know it's not a true sport..


Will the pendulum ever swing back to the other side, and will bb be restored as a legitimate endeavor? Or will things just get worse?

Not really, I don't think most the pros have pleasing physiques. I'm not into the circus freak look, and I never have been. I am a former athlete, and I aspire to look like one. I like a nice physique, that has the ability to back up how it looks.

Typical response though, I question the current state of bb, and I'm jealous of the parchute pant wearing drug freaks. I can honestly say, I would never want to look like any of the top pro's. Thats just my opinion of course. I have no problem with people who like that look.

Back when I first started posting here, 98/99 or so, it wasnt really about pro bodybuilding.  It was a bunch of people who liked to lift weights and eat properly.  Some did contests, most didn't.  No one really talked about IFBB pro bodybuilding except around Olympia time.  We mostly talked about our workouts and programs, with a bunch of off-topic stuff thrown in.  Somewhere along the line this board became "all IFBB all the time", and that really sucks, since pro bodybuilding is a total joke.  Rather than abandon our board, those of us who were here before then switched to bashing the IFBB douches every chance we got.

Chick view warning ;D

I don't hate it all, I am still a fan. I like all divisions, but am mostly into the fitness division [the one with all the flips/splits etc]

Thing though, yes the whole seedy side of it that some women engage in is embarrassing.

Contrary to popular belief, most women who compete do not engage that crap, but the few that do reflect on us all.

The women claim it is their right, which is correct. Also means a decreased chance of even being seen as equal when there are women desperate to flash their ass for a few bucks imo. I would much rather it retain an athletic aspect, instead of sinking further into soft porn as we seem to be doing.

So yeah, the negative aspects do detract from it for me, although I still love it.

I don't hate it. That would be like hating anorectics, addicted people or people with compulsive disorders, or any psychological disorder or suffering etc.

They need love and care and joy and security and comfort. Not hate.

modern day pro bodybuilding sucks, Wolfe is the best guy around, but hes being told he needs to be bigger to give him the illusion of being shorter and fatter before he can win. fuckin stupid and it wont get better just look at the people who run the sport, take them out of bodybuilding and they would run the first an successful McDonald's, the sport has little potential but the way it is judged makes sure it doesn't even reach that, guys need to be weighing realistic weights to take the sport more mainstream, people will hate it anyway, but people like me and many others will come back and support it, at the moment its just a freak show, and they all look fucking stupid, and thats before they open their mouths and confirm it.

This post is spot on...  I don't really have a problem with pro's, and I don't mind if a person aspires to have that look. That said, I didn't start posting here until later (2003), but even then - what you said in your post was accurate.

I like to train and eat right, but it seems like these days that = teh gay around here. Someone post's a natural guy who is around 190 lb's - ( in great shape), and everyone says he is a tiny tit.

Interesting how the pro culture has changed what a good physique is these days.

I agree with you, most normal people are repulsed by pro bb's. Pro bb is basically a small cult that caters to the fetish crowd of homosexuals.

I mean honestly, guys walking around at 255 lbs - ( at 5'8) with 4% bodyfat? Anyone who tells a guy like Denis Wolfe that he is to small, needs to have thier head checked.

Chick, guy's like Ray and Jackson have been told they where to small for years. the mass monsters win everything, and there is no end in sight.

I'm not going to hate on guys that aspire for the freak look, I just think the "sport" has really taken a dive over the years.

Every generation thinks the sport has "taken a dive"....from the 40's till now.

Bodybuilding progresses, just like any other sport...some get faster, hit more HR, linemen are 330 lbs now...the guys today are more conditioned, bigger and more complete than those before them....there are always exceptions to the rule, and physiques that are less than stellar....

My biggest disappointment in bodybuilding is people who claims to be lifetime natural, but is definitely not.

Pros do that too, but in a different way. They admit using drugs, but everyone is taking "less than most", Lee Priest being the worst liar in this department.

Right, It's fucking ridiculous around here, when it comes to that regard.

Just like the idiots who refer to Frank Zane as a "swimmer", but admire the huge bloated, gut-having bastards. How fucking retarded.

While bbing, has always had its "gay" roots.....I think at one point it could have been considered an art form. Now-a-days, it's a fucking freak show.  :-\

I don't hate it, and i definitely don't hate any pro. I respect them for their hard work. We can all joke around here and say "all drugs" and so on, but at the end of the day these guys bust their arse and put a lot of effort into what they do...


but..


what i don't like is the seedy (pardon the pun) aspects of pro bb'ing. Most pros don't do g4p or any of that, but it amazes me how many do stupid shit just to make a few bucks. These guys need to realise that it isn't hard to become a personal trainer, and they would actually have an advantage if they were one. Or just have a regular job. I have a tonne of respect for guys like Jay Cutler, Branch Warren and even the new guy Erik Fankhouser. These guys work hard and give pro bb'ing a good image. Guys like Kai and others, they may be nice people, but they give pro bb'ing a bad image.

Too many guys who just dont have the muslce SHAPE are taking bodybuilding too seriously.....Example Palumbo or Paco Bautista. They just don't have the genetics to look pleasing on stage. Mountains of conditioned mass isnt gonna take bodybuilding forward. Its a few elite guys with awesome shape that should be winning shows. Alot of guys need to accept they aint got the GENETICS to be a pro bodybuilder and no amount of drugs is gonna change that

It's more of an IFBB problem than an athlete problem.  If the IFBB enforced it's rules on drug testing and personal conduct, it would start to look more professional.  Judging is also an IFBB issue, and they hold the power to take bodybuilding in any direction.  I would like to see the IFBB have a strategy for improvement rather than continuing to have a free for all environment.

making money in the "fitness/bbing" industry is about telling naive and insecure skinny, ugly or fat people that buying powders will help them get more confidence and have a better life. That they will solve all their problems by lifting weights.

Lifting weights may help you learn about dedication, consistency and work ethic, it's the good part of the message, but eating powders like there's no tomorow to look like a 300 pounds chemically enhanced pro bber is  pure nonsens .


A few people are succesful at lifting weights and then improve their everyday life after getting more confident and re-shaping their bodies, but most of those who pay gym subscriptions or powders from bbing.com are those who truly make this 'industry" survive.


All in all the goal to get people lift weights, increase confidence and health is positive. The only way to make money out of it is to make profit from these people, these beginners and quitters .
Why blame those who try to make a living out of the bodybuilding world? They re just doing what they're good at,and answering a demand from people who need them to "get in shape" that's all.

Yes lifting weights is positive, but being a brainless fan of pro bbing can at best be qualified as a hobby and is another thing.

There s a big difference between being a consistant and succesful weight lifter and being a gay worshiper of steroids users posing in thong.

These are two separate and different world.


If bodybuilding.com can get more people into taking care of their health then so be it, it's something positive. Now I agree they could  use real natural models and distance themselves from steroid induced pro bbing.
It's a mixed message they 're sending that need to be untainted.


If their goal is really to promote health and confidence by lifting weights , then why do they have bob chick as a representant? Maybe because he sells , and it's not his fault or bbing fault if people believe they re going to look like him using protein powders, it's actually because of people's stupidity, so why not make money out of it.

I agree with that post pretty much.

At first I thought pro bodybuilding was the most awesome sport.  I think with the rising popularity of the message boards and people being exposed to what it REALLY takes to be a pro bodybuilder...the respect goes away by itself.

I still remember as a young teen I thought these guys were natural!!!  ;D

BUt now, the more pros I meet and the more involved I am, my respect has been replaced with pitty...the ifbb is just a freakshow to me now, a drama filled freakshow.  :(

for a natural, it ain't a bold statement, it's a fact; train 4/5 hours a week, eat proteins, carbs, low fats... it's no reocket science and you can build a decent muscle mass.


the real question is, when are we going to differentiate natural bodybuilding and "pro bodybuilding" on steroids once for all.

People at bodybuilding.com are selling unefective powders to naturals using steroid users as role models.



Most of us are natural and come here to laugh at the extremist behavior of steroids users and see how far our insecurities could get us if we weren't smart enough to just stick to lifting weights and eat healthy for improved well being and confidence.


As it is it, bodybuilding can only be considered as a hobby like car tuning or modelism.

and i dont think protein powders are uneffective in any way. it is what it is... protein aka nutrition...

Well lemme tell ya buddy: I have the physique of a former athlete and it ain't all peaches 'n cream.


Seriously, ya I agree.  I'm more interested in gaining nutrition and training knowledge, and I like the atmosphere here.  I don't hate bodybuilding but I don't follow it as a fan either.  I'd take my current tiny tit physique over the grotesque, misshapen, bloated pros with 40" guts. 

Maybe the IFBB should institute some minimum ratios that have to be met before you can step on stage (hopefully with a view to reducing the ridiculous pumpkin guts on these guys), like waist/chest and waist/shoulder ratios?  No need to respond Bob.  It's just a thought.

Believe it or Not at one time the IFBB did have specifics about BB it was if you had an 18inch neck you should also have 18 inch calves and 18 inch biceps also the back of the head was to be in line with the Butt shoulders had to be level and No spinal curve.Yep it use to be in the Judging Criteria.

pic 2 is May .2008)

That's what I mean. You look great in picture 1, why not just admit you've done steroids? No asian man is able to look like that naturally, period. Again, remember.. I'm complementing your physique here! Why not tell the truth? You will feel better in your heart.

Not really, I don't think most the pros have pleasing physiques. I'm not into the circus freak look, and I never have been. I am a former athlete, and I aspire to look like one. I like a nice physique, that has the ability to back up how it looks.

Typical response though, I question the current state of bb, and I'm jealous of the parchute pant wearing drug freaks. I can honestly say, I would never want to look like any of the top pro's. Thats just my opinion of course. I have no problem with people who like that look.

Like I have said, none other than Arnold  laughs at these buffoons and how they carry themselves

friends,,
you need to understand something about professional bodybuilding and anything bodybuilding from state and regional level and up

IT HAS A LOT OF DRUGS AROUND IT,,none controlled and controlled,,

the whole story of the end of the 90s into the end of the 2000s will be written one day some place and thr truth will get out,,there are specific charecters that simply ruined the sport ,,characters such as palumbo ,,milos,,etc,,then there is the abusers from the murderer to tomas to these days tropipins,,the only common thing to all of the above is the constant LIES ,,this is the one thing that is consistant to all the fellas gh15 just mentioned,,always lie inorder to sell something or to present a "natural" sell,,always money in the head and lies in the mouth,,fellas like skip,,fellas like jeff,,fellas like valentino,,the one common thing to all is the constant need to lie inorder to get from point a to point b

bodybuilding is 90% drugs and then 10% of muscle shape and effort put as in consistancy and determination in gym and outside gym,,alwys remember what im tellin you right here ,,bodybuilding is 90% drugs and not only professional it start at the regional level and even before that in the ymca usa and you better believe it friends

you will never touch heavy poundage on 500 mg test and 400 mg nandrolone ,,you will if really put consistancy in gym get to 220lb more or less and stop right there,,you may look good may have low body fat but you will not get to the really big numbers you are all after as in the 240+,,,the reason there are so many average guys walking around is because they listen to all the crap about 500 mg test and 400 mg deca and 35 mg dianabol,,those numbers are good for a 226 pound 5'10 bodybuilder ,,they are no good for 250 pound bodybuilder friends

there is a direct relashion between the doses taken by the bodybuilder and his or her size ,,the more you use the bigger you will get,,there is a law of diminisahing return that comes at the 10 gram a week and not before for the truly 250lb + bodybuilder

many here do not understand that a bodybuilder ,,a sucesful one if first and formost knowing his stakcs very well or someone knows it for him ,,every drug has its own purpose,,you have liers who tell you oh take nandrolone and it can be like dianabol while in reality the 2 drugs are totoally diff ,,dianabol will give you super strength comparing to nandrolone in addition to your muscles being a lot fuller and a lot more swole,,on nandrolone you will have a weight gain but a lot less of a swole physiqe,,,now they tell you add tetsosterone in and it will solve everything...NO test is simply there for agressivness and more intense work outs..but by no means is it even close to dianabol in the strength and over all good feeling a bodybuilder feels on dianabol,,,test and nandrolone will result in over all weight increase with agressivness and high sex drive,,,test and dianabol will fill up your muscles alot better and will give you the swole godish feeling that no nandrolone can ever produce,,,the lies about jump start a cycle with dianabol because it takes time until test and nandroloen work is all bullshit ...the drugs all start working from the moment you put them in yoru ass and mouth ,,,from the first hour with oral and first 2 days with inject,,the reason why bodybuilders take all 3 together now days is to cover for fakes...their dealer usually push them one fake becuase the dealer himself have hard time to figure out whats what,,and another reason they are all taken together is to to have the effect of each drug working together with the other drug and those 3 always work very well together

so to conclude this small 101 class about hormone and the bodybuilder,,the reason bodybuilding especially professional got to be so hated by many is the LIES,,the fact that stakcs can not be mentioned,,the fact that you can see in the eyes that we bodybuilders are high on something and you can tell we are swolen with sausage fingers due to gh and you can tell that we are water loggs due to test nandroloen and dianabol ...yet we stand  next to getny supplemtnt store and sell you some creatine and a night realsing protien that can make your sperm and sleep better...its all lies that keep us in a cult atmosphere and make the rich richer and the poor poorer...and the pooor are? you got that right the bodybuilders who buy into this shit because they only start competing in a local show and insted of building themselves right they buy into suppl bullshit

i mean think about it for a second ...do you really think stan mccowy was born blessed? do you really think kamali was born more than a skinny fella with no limbs? do you really think that kucelo the kid was anything over 160lb soaked wet couple years ago? IT IS ALL IN THE DRUGS ,,wiht otu the drugs the food and the training wont lead to no where,,it will lead you into always reminaing sub 200lb and always fighting to be 13% insted of 15%

Nobody likes the direction it's going in and if we don't like it, then we have to change it.  Stop buying the popular magazines, stop going to IFBB and NPC shows-even the Arnold, and stop talking about it.  In this case, if you ignore it, it will go away.  Do this while at the same time promoting healthy living, drug free bodybuilding and fitness and athleticism-which most of the people on this board are interested in anyway.

IFBB appears to be the most twisted "pro" sporting organisation on the planet.
All sporting organisations go through there dramas. IFBB no diffrent, but makes me cringe how they keep  shop. I think it is really poor the way they have so far handled the Titus thing.
I feel sorry for Bob as he was excellent athlete and appears like a cool guy but the powers that be have taken the piss out of his "job". Whippingboy has taken Joe's place as the face of the business, which must be good and easy for them.
Too bad the PDI did not work out, but really there show looked like a high school musical doing a free form interpretation of the Night Of Champions.

 hmm, it seems like every athlete uses synth or something like it.  It's just the ones that misuse it that we identify as users.  Really, Chick is right.  In the 70's, Arnold was a freak and way too big and disgusting, Reeves was the ideal-it's no different now.  Bbing has progressed in exactly the way the public has demanded, plain and simple.  Don't like it, don't buy it. And if you really want to make a difference, don't buy it while you are buying what you do like.
