Looks terrible as usual, bloated, big gut and looks like a dong puffer. At least this isn't the super-gay picture of him with painted on abs.
Dead in 2 years.

Rob: you should send the pics to jaejonna via PM

I don't know. jack sent me the pics to share. He's bigger, that's for sure. I believe he said he was going to take a year off then come back.
-
I think Jack looks pretty damn good there...arms are improved, quads look improved and just flat out bigger.
-
Rhino looks good, he never claimed to be on Ronnie's level, he got other things going for him and he reached quite a level for something that is nothing more than a hobby for him.

Is Rhino is messing with other peoples property (wifes)?
You have to wonder why a guy who supposedly makes close to 7 figures has to stoop to such a level...
-
Don't you have to have "been somewhere" in order to be "coming back"??
-
Are the rumors true that Rhino is trying to get another semi pro org going? Would make sense on why a 50 year old would be loading up on endless amounts of slin these days...

whenever i see this guy from now on that name is going to be the first thing I think of...well along with the ownage Hedgehog said about him being just a red faced former fat boy kid who is on 3000mg's of test a week to make up for his childhood insecurities ;D ;D ;D

I don't get it? Oh, you are saying my parents are retarded! I understand it now. Good one Chick. Now go tell your kid that you have to take your drugs and go to work. That without illegal drugs you wouldn't even have a job in the "supp" business. Wow, what an example you are setting. Your parents must be proud.

They are....as are the parents of Pro footbal players, baseball players, etc, etc.....
I'm sure if you just "got a job", your parents would be proud as well, AND get use of their basement back...

Seriously Johnny, you constantly put me down. Its very hurtful.

Well said.
Jack is a financial genious and loves training and bodybuilding as a hobby.
beats senslessly and piclessly posting on a muscle board.

Flounder and Otter were both the coolest dudes in the movie-why you think Im putting you down Emn???????

As soon as I saw this thread I thought of our resident homo who has always expressed a desire to suck Jack off and violate his rectum. ;D
Seriously, its nice the man enjoys bodybuilding but he should stick to being a gym rat and put down the posing trunks. He always looks like shit.

Good Ole Jack London was run out of Venice, Ca back in the mid 90's for ratting out a lot of dealers. he then got his ass beaten up pretty bad before he left. I think his wife at the time left him too and stayed in cal. He was a real rat. If he showed up in the area these days he may be safe because the old crew has long left. But some of us old timers remember that schmuk.

Minor league, amateur, sandlot, etc....
It's either pro, or it aint.
"semi pro" would be College-div 1-A, if anything was.

So you think that ratting out drug dealers is worse then banging married women at the age of close to 50? Come on bro your better then that...Rhino is still living in fcking high school trying to get with the cool guys chick...Pretty fucking sad if you ask 99 percent of the population...

jack used to be a training partner to a very popular IFBB german pro named Achim Albrecht in the early 90's in Venice Golds. Jack used to bulk up to insane bodyweights and then cut up to contest shape as a light heavy from what I recall. Everybody used to laugh at how much muscle he would lose. I remember when he was training for the 93 USA that Cormier won. Jack was telling everybody in Golds including me these exact words," I dont see how anybody can possibly beat me" And then he didnt even make the night show cut. A few months later Jack got into his deep shit with his ratting out. And he got his ass beaten up by a hard ass boston bodybuilder named Butch Perry. Butch was another aspiring Golds Venice amateur too. But Butch was a real shady dude that put the beating down hard on Jack. It wasnt long after that Jack left town for good. Chic is correct in saying he doesnt know about Jack because Chic was not around in venice in the early 90's.

[/quoteYa know Bob, you really need to jump off that high horse you've been riding. You do have a lot of insite and education/experience in the industry you have dedicated your life too, but have also really become quite arrogant since obtaining the goal that took you many years to achieve. It's either pro or it aint. ::) Because you are now a pro after over a decade of trying you are going to belittle the steps/leagues (in other sports) that fall between an amateur and a pro? That really quite sad.
According to Wikipedia: A semi-professional athlete is one who is paid to play and thus is not an amateur, but for whom sport is not a full-time occupation, generally because the level of pay is too low to make a reasonable living based solely upon that source, thus making the athlete not a full professional athlete.
It'a quite obvious that there are differences in playing in an Amateur League, a Semi-Professional League and a Professional League. If there weren't...they wouldn't "label" them differently. Granted there are many athletes that are lucky enough and giften enough to be yanked out of amateur and drafted right into pro, but for those who aren't ... well, I would believe that those athletes who play on these semi-pro leagues would find it quite insulting that you feel the way you do about what they are working hard/playing hard for. Here are some Leagues of that step between Amatuer and Professional, known as "Semi-Pro".
Semi-Pro Football Leagues:
Atlantic Football League
California Football Association
Colorado Football Conference
Detroit Downriver Diesels

Although there were some Men's Semi-Pro Leagues in years past.
And although it's not "labeled" as being "semi-professional" even bodybuilding has that middle step. It's the National Level. One doesn't go from the NPC amateur stage to the IFBB pro stage without winning a National title. That being said...you don't see many "NPC Amateurs" being offered endorsements from different supplement companies and whatnot, but you do see "National Level Winners" (obviously they have to have the look that's going to take them to pro) being offered such. That middle step before becoming a "Pro".

Is Mike Arvilla a "semi-pro" personal trainer? I mean, he does get paid for it, but $8/hr is really not enough to make a living on. ;D
Actually he's the Director of Personal Training, my friend, but also does some PT with the clients he's had for some time. He enjoys it. You have to enjoy what you do, otherwise you're nothing but miserable every day at work :-\. Oh, and you already know he doesn't work for LA Fitness (that's where they pay their trainers $8 an hour) ;).
-
Yep, at $8.75 and a title, your man has truly hit the big time. ;)
Well, we can't all be licentious-boys now can we? We leave that up to you. ;)

LOL...pretty funny stuff. Bottom line is, you're either a pro or you're an amateur...period. Ihave no "high horse" to jump off of...and I never considered myself anything but an amateur before winning my pro card. If it makes people feel more important to call themselves "semi pro"...than all the power to them.
To me, it's like being semi-pregnant...
If you're in law school to become a lawyer, but having passed he bar...are you a "semi-lawyer"?
BTW...can I call myself a "semi-millionaire"? You know...the middle step between being dead ass broke and having a million dollars?
-
They say that Jack is Retard strong...He does seem to have that semi retarded look to him...And he is supposedly good with numbers...He probably plays some sort of musical instrument

WILL JACK BE RIDINING IN ON A REAL LIVE WHITE RHINO THIS YEAR.....THATS COOL, i WILL GET THINGS CLEARED WITH PETA FOR HIM, i HAVE CONNECTIONS.

Seems to me Laura defined it pretty well. Semi-pro means you get paid for doing it, but don't get paid enough to make a living at it or do it full time.
That means 90% of your IFBB members are "semi-pro". ;D
I guess it's just his own "opinion" Goat. And we know what quote goes with that. I'm sure that when someone asked him what level of competitor he was (if unknown) prior to becoming a pro, he stated "National" not "Amateur" Doesn't really matter though. I stated the facts, there are Semi-Pro League sports. It's just too bad he can't admit he was wrong. I know, I know Bob...you're going to say you're not wrong...even though it's just your opinion and the facts are right there in your face. Although it does make me laugh that he uses "pregnant", "lawyer" and "millionaire" as examples.

You can be at the National Level...you're still an amateur.
Semi pro is bullshit.....you're either pro or you're not.
It's an absolute...like the examples I gave....you're not "semi-married", or a "semi-winner" if you take second
Here's a chart to help you:
Sandlot
weekend warrior
pick-up game
organized
college
amateur
professional
Part of being a professional, is being recognized as one by some federation/ league/ etc....that has credibility

Now Im depressed.... According to this chart, Im only as a good as a pick - up game?? I need some alone time to reflect on my priorities.
-
Bro, since the IFBB was founded, we have witnessed 17 major conflicts, 4 recessions, the Cold War, the tearing down Berlin Wall, sent a man to the Moon etc. etc. etc.!!!
I would say yes, it has at this point obtained a little bit of credibility. Give it the respect it deserves.

It's an absolute...like the examples I gave....you're not "semi-married", or a "semi-winner" if you take second
Here's a chart to help you:

Part of being a professional, is being recognized as one by some federation/ league/ etc....that has credibility
Bob, if I use your quote of "Part of being a professional, is being recognized as one by some federation/ league/ etc....that has credibility" as your outlook on the word "credibility" ... then IFBB, only has your so called "credibility" to/by those who follow it. You and everyone here knows that if you pull an average person off the street and ask them "who/what is the IFBB?" you would get a hell of a lot more "huh's" and "I don't knows" than "International Federation of Bodybuilders". Ask those same people who/what is the NBA, NFL, MLB, PGA and most will know ;).
Credibility refers to the objective and subjective components of the believability of a source or message. Traditionally, credibility is composed of two primary dimensions: trustworthiness and expertise, which have both objective and subjective components. That is,trustworthiness is a receiver judgment based on subjective factors. Expertise can be similarly subjectively perceived but includes relatively objective characteristics of the source or message as well (e.g., source credentials or information quality). Some secondary dimensions include source dynamism (charisma) and physical attractiveness, for example.
After reading the actual meaning of the word credibility, I would have to say that semi-professional sport's would also have credibility.
Also, obviously if the word "semi" didn't mean anything...it wouldn't be a prefix. And your examples are ridiculous (semi-married, semi-winner, semi-lawyer, semi-pregnant, semi-millionaire ::)). You are choosing words items/words that don't exist. "Semi-Professional" does exist and does have meaning (whether you "choose" to accept or flip your nose up turn a blind eye at it is your own thing).

Wow! I see you've made quite the recovery, Laura. I think it's amusing/sad that most of those the IFBB classifies as 'Pros' can't/could not sustain a living in the 'sport.' :-\

I don't accept it, and especially in our world of BB.....thats MY opinion...I don't expect you to agree with it.
-
A pro card is a term yes, but what % of pros make a living?
Hardly any, if one thinks about the stacks of them.
So it's all rhetorical anyway.

not to mention, Jack london looks like a bag of smashed assholes sprinkled with grate ddick cheese ..

Thank you Bob. That's what I've been saying to you. It's your opinion, but not fact. And your opinion obviously doesn't support or change the fact that there are semi-pro sports and athletes.

Actually dr.chimps I haven't quite finished my recovery. I have radiation on October 6th and until then I have been pulled from all thyroid medication and since my thyroid has been removed...it has put me into a severe state of hypothyroidism and Myxedema, plus I'm still on the high dosages of prednisone for the Sarcoidosis of my heart and lungs, so that could be why Bob's reluctancy to just "ok there are semi-pro sports/athletes, but I just think there should be one or the other because....blah, blah, blah" instead of using a an argument of "there are no semi-pregnancies, or semi-marriages" which pissed me off. It's like he can't just say he's wrong. He's definitely entitled to his own opinion...we all are, but don't say there is no such thing when there are...I think it was/is very insulting to those who are semi-pro athletes. I guess it would be like saying all "professional bodybuilders" only got there by cheating (steroids) and could NEVER get there without having doing so. Although we all know they get that "assistance", but it's an insulting comment to them and not recognizing all the years of hard work, diet, dedication and countless hours they put in the gym and getting ready for contests.

have to agree with Bob on this one---- amateurs are amateurs and pros are pros
saying you're semi-pro is just like a cash register worker at the supermarket saying they are a "sales associate" :-\

I believe (and I admit that could be wrong about this) that those that just sit behind the register at a supermarket are called cashiers. Sales Associates are usually those you find at department stores that walk the floors and help customers with sales can also include ringing them up at a register.
And you can agree with Bob that it his opinion and yours and you're both entitled to it, but as I've said before, your opinion doesn't make it fact. The fact is that there are semi-pro sports and athletes and they are recognized as such and are paid as such.

Any body can call themselves a pro, but to "actually be "a real pro is a diffrent story.Technically I am a retired pro bodybuilder.I was a pro in the PNBA, and Musclemania, but do I consider myself a professional bodybuilders.NO.
Why would I ? First of all I am retired, and second of all, there are actually 3 pro cards even really considered pro.
The IFBB, the NABBA, and the WNBF.If your a PDI pro, your not a pro, your just a glamorized NPC atlhete, who Wayne Demillia gave you a pro card.Anybody can become a PDI pro, just look at Troy Moore, lol.
Bob is right either your a pro bodybuilder or your not, there is no in-between.Jack Lonmdon is a nice guy but he is not a pro bodybuilder, nor has a physique that is good enough to step on a pro stage.He is succesful in his bussness and good for him, but for that last time, he is not a pro bodybuilder.He isnt semi-pro, partially pro, half pro, quarter pro.He is just is and always will be just a bodybuilder.

I would honestly disagree.
Like many international folks, I get paid for winning, and not some wimpy $500 check either. Then I get all my expenses covered for international comps. I make more money from competing that majority of "pros" ever see, especially females as prize money in the IFBB can be like $6k and there are next to no contracts available either.
Amateur shows worldwide will dish out $10k - $40k prize money, and governments will pay nationals for winning as well....been known to pay around $100,000 in some Asian nation [I forget which Timforgarty knows all that stuff].
It's pretty normal for us international folk to get expenses covered to compete. Take the Arnold amatuer, many of those international entrants were there all expenses paid as normal. Should we go "pro" we lose those benefits, hence why some of us don't take the cards.

Bob was referring to all sports GetItOnNY, not just bbing.
But in regards to your post on the PDI, I would assume that is where Bob is talking about "credibility".
-
If your position is there's no such thing as semi-pro, and the only choices are professional and amateur, then Jack London is a professional, because he has been paid to compete in his sport. In any sport, the definition of "professional" is one who gets paid to play. Hope this helps.
Really? when was he paid?

jack's name is being carried in the mud.
nothing that 'beefy' says is true. nonetheless, nothing matters as getbig is now irrelevant anyway.
Sorry bro, but what I post is true. Get lost girl....
