Title: Athletes Rep - How it works
Post by: Vince B on April 30, 2009, 07:01:04 PM
I have been bodybuilding for over 50 years now. That is a long time to be around the Iron Game. Few of us who start out imagine we will ever be like the huge guys we see in the magazines. If we persist for years we might achieve some reasonable size and even enter contests. Ah, those contests. You have to have nerve to enter because there you are up on stage, shaved, oiled and in a posing costume. Spare some consideration for the preparation required for todays shows. It isn't easy.

Well, having associated with muscleheads for decades I can say that we represent the full gamet of personalities and intelligences. You have to do a lot of things right to be able to keep growing all those years. Diet, training, recuperation, and lifestyle impact on any results you might achieve. When you see someone really big and cut you know they have paid their dues and trained long and hard. It takes a good brain to achieve huge size. If the person isn't that smart he probably has someone who is smart that is helping him.

For those who do enter contests what do we find? Most bodybuilders aspire to be whatever the top title of the day is. In the old days that was Mr America or Mr Universe. Lots of champions earned those titles and were proud of it. Today the top title is the Mr Olympia. Thus, the majority of bodybuilders think about enterring IFBB contests as a gateway to the professional contests. Very early in aspiring bodybuilders it becomes obvious that judging is a subjective process. We witness bodybuilders asking judges how they went and what should be improved. That is natural in a sport where subjectivity and opinion play such an important part. Even the thickest bloke realizes that it isn't always the best man who wins shows. How can that be? Well, it happens. Thus, from almost the first contest bodybuilders become politically aware and have to not upset judges or officials who run shows. If you get a reputation for being difficult or speaking out you will find it hard to win or place in contests.

Now, let us leap forward to the professional stage today. Because of magazines and the internet the competitors all know each other and can see what everyone else looks like. The judges and officials have access to the same information and images. This web of musclemen becomes a small community and the insiders pretty well know what is going on with other people. The Mr Olympia and Arnold Classic are the two biggest shows and winners earn a lot of money. However, only the Olympia earns legend status. That is THE contest to win. Today the prize money makes this a very important enterprise for all concerned. It isn't fooling around any more.

What do we find happening in the pro ranks of the IFBB? Well, contracts are signed and bodybuilders are limited about what they can do and say. Fair enough to a point because sponsoring athletes is big money and sponsors want to get value for their investment. The IFBB selects judges and lets someone else promote the contests. This is hardly a cheap enterprise. It costs a fortune to stage the Olympia event. You would think that the professional organization would be a smooth operation and hardly any problems at all. Well, to assist the musclemen the pro league has decided to appoint a professional athletes rep. This professional position is not a paid one. Judges get paid to judge but the pro rep doesn't earn a cent from all the work done. So, on paper it looks like the IFBB is looking after the athletes who have a person to represent them for any issues they might have. The reality is quite something else.

The one thing musclemen learn over the years in this subjective sport is not to make any waves. Keep a low profile and be pleasant to everyone. Now, I ask you, would any of these professional athletes go to Bob Chick to voice their complaints, etc.? That is the last thing most would do. Why? Well, they instinctively know that complaining to someone like Bob is like complaining to the boss himself. It doesn't pay to do that. Thus, Bob Chick actually represents the IFBB and informs muscleheads how to cooperate with the organization. He points out penalties to those who don't think straight.

The Pro League appointed athletes rep is a sham. Unless and until that is an elected position there can be no transparancy and validity. The appointment is an insult to all bodybuilders everywhere. It is just another way the dictatorial organization asserts itself. The bodybuilders were forgotten long ago and are still treated like second class citizens today.

To sum up what I feel, Bob Chick is the very last person most professionals would approach with complaints against the IFBB and Pro League. Look at how he is totally unprofessional to critics like myself who voice my opinion about the IFBB. He uses insults and namecalling to try to silence anyone who speaks out. That is really the opposite of what a fair dinkum athletes rep should be like. His job is to represent the IFBB and Pro League on Getbig and silence all opposition.

I don't see how someone can be fair and unbiased while representing the Athletes and getting paid by the IFBB (Weider... AMI...). The athletes need to be represented by a LAWYER, not a current or former athlete.

Bob was a part-time fill-in Deputy Sheriff's assistant for a few months back in Rochester...  that's as good as any "law degree".   ::)   Who needs a JD these days anyway?

The reality IS quite something else....the IFBB didn't appoint anything (or anyone)...WE did. Shawn and I were the ones who led the way to have a voice within the pro league...this was a direct result of MY attempt to start a union for the BBers as I felt they weren't standing up for themselves or their sport.  After Shawn stepped down, I was put in his place as the rep. The "job" was posted, there were no other candidates for the job....here I am 3 years later

Thus, Bob Chick actually represents the IFBB and informs muscleheads how to cooperate with the organization. He points out penalties to those who don't think straight.


Couldn't be more wrong...but then again...it's you being you.  For those who might believe you...there couldn't be any worse way to make change than NOT bringing it to my attention...as they did in the past with no representation....I field calls, complaints, suggestions, etc on a weekly basis from pretty much everybody


The Pro League appointed athletes rep is a sham. Unless and until that is an elected position there can be no transparancy and validity. The appointment is an insult to all bodybuilders everywhere. It is just another way the dictatorial organization asserts itself. The bodybuilders were forgotten long ago and are still treated like second class citizens today.


The position is up for grabs every 2 years....come one come all if anyone else thinks they can do better

I am aware it's a thankless Job, Chick... and I'm sure your heart is in the right place, but you have to admit you are wearing too many hats... and from here, they look very similar!

You write for Flex who was owned by Weider. Now owned by AMI. AMI puts on the IFBB's biggest contest, Mr. Olympia. Robin Chang is in charge of this contest which you are paid MC and cover. You also are a host of PBW sponsored by FLEX, bodybuilding.com, and muscletech, along with other big movers within the Weider built industry. Finally you represent the athletes against or instead of the IFBB... Maybe you should be the athletes' liaison to the IFBB (Rep implies impartiality)... I think that would be a more appropriate job.

Bob wears too many hats and thinks nothing of it. Well, he can't impartially represent the professional bodybuilders when he comments on their physiques and personalities on web casts and radio shows for Bodybuilding Com. I mean, why would the athletes tolerate that crap? An impartial representative doesn't pass comment that might affect the judging process in the future or influence others about various competitor's flaws and weaknesses. When Bob is MCing a contest how can he represent the athletes? Especially at the Olympia. He would be concentrating on doing the MC job and not on what is bothering the athletes.

Bob is a good talker but the honest reality is he is too opinionated about this sport and the men in it. That is fine for TV and radio shows but hardly acceptable for an athletes rep. Bob swears anyone can run for the position but the way the Pro League is set up no sensible professional who has a chance to win prize money would do that job. You cannot represent yourself AND the other athletes. If Bob C is the best man for the position then heaven help professional bodybuilding.

Nah...I never really wanted to go that far...for some reason, I just wanted to win the teen Mr. Michigan and then the Collegiate Nationals, two goals nearly but never fully achieved

That is really the opposite of what a fair dinkum athletes rep should be like. His job is to represent the IFBB and Pro League on Getbig and silence all opposition.  

I just can't fathom why anyone would get into bb to become a pro...the odds are so far against you...if it happens to happen...fine....don't set it out as a plan....the breeding ground of tragedy!

the appointment is an insult to drug using bodybuilders everywhere
us natural bodybuilders and competitors don't give a shit
good for a laugh though
as sad as the whole scam is
then the natural scene is bout as filthy but I can proudly say
I'm not a felon
your all class. and most likely a drug abusing felon

I am aware it's a thankless Job, Chick... and I'm sure your heart is in the right place, but you have to admit you are wearing too many hats... and from here, they look very similar!

You write for Flex who was owned by Weider. Now owned by AMI. AMI puts on the IFBB's biggest contest, Mr. Olympia. Robin Chang is in charge of this contest which you are paid MC and cover. You also are a host of PBW sponsored by FLEX, bodybuilding.com, and muscletech, along with other big movers within the Weider built industry. Finally you represent the athletes against or instead of the IFBB... Maybe you should be the athletes' liaison to the IFBB (Rep implies impartiality)... I think that would be a more appropriate job.




So your point is what?   Are you implying im not doing a good job?  So you figure if we change the name of the position, that it makes my job different somehow?

Bob wears too many hats and thinks nothing of it. Well, he can't impartially represent the professional bodybuilders when he comments on their physiques and personalities on web casts and radio shows for Bodybuilding Com. I mean, why would the athletes tolerate that crap? An impartial representative doesn't pass comment that might affect the judging process in the future or influence others about various competitor's flaws and weaknesses. When Bob is MCing a contest how can he represent the athletes? Especially at the Olympia. He would be concentrating on doing the MC job and not on what is bothering the athletes.

Bob is a good talker but the honest reality is he is too opinionated about this sport and the men in it. That is fine for TV and radio shows but hardly acceptable for an athletes rep. Bob swears anyone can run for the position but the way the Pro League is set up no sensible professional who has a chance to win prize money would do that job. You cannot represent yourself AND the other athletes. If Bob C is the best man for the position then heaven help professional bodybuilding.  


Are you just wanting people to acknowledge that you won the 1970 Mr Canada???

Fine congratualtions....now go away. You've once again made a complete jackass out of yourself as you've never been an IFBB pro.  You didn't have the heart to train hard and compete and now you're writing these stupid threads to make your life a little more meaningful.

You will not be remembered in history as a great bodybuilder, Vince. Deal with it and stop wasting the little time you have otherwise

Change is initiated by bringing up proposals and getting them passed at the Pro League meetings...not by any other means.  I've been as critical as anyone, and took the lead in making a difference by way of a voice in the league...that's why we have more money in our pockets, health coverage and better judging criteria

I have listened to PBW webcasts of the Olympia and there was Bob C and Dan S commenting on the physiques of the competitors. They commented on conditioning and posing ability both positively and negatively. How on earth is such behaviour tolerated by the Pro League of their appointed and anointed athletes rep? It appears that the athletes themselves more or less accept Bob because to voice any dissention risks getting lower places than they deserve.

Is Bob oblivious of this impropriety or is he too interested in profiting from bodybuilding to really be fair dinkum about and to the very bodybuilders he is representing?

The reality IS quite something else....the IFBB didn't appoint anything (or anyone)...WE did. Shawn and I were the ones who led the way to have a voice within the pro league...this was a direct result of MY attempt to start a union for the BBers as I felt they weren't standing up for themselves or their sport.  After Shawn stepped down, I was put in his place as the rep. The "job" was posted, there were no other candidates for the job....here I am 3 years later

Watch out that nose of yours, you’ll poke too many people around Pinicchio …hmmm…I think I’ll go with – Bobychico…

Who are “we” you are so proudly referring to?
Shawn and you…
Really?
What actually happened Bob?
Any recollection of the REAL TRUTH and not your usual BS or “fantasy facts” only you always seem to remember…

Shawn and you?
If it wouldn’t take you 15 years to turn PRO (you still have that chic…I mean chip on your shoulder? Let it go…) maybe you would realize that all the way back in 1991, during my first European Tour (hmmmm – BTW how many Euro Tours did you and Shawn do?) which lasted 4 weeks (6 shows in 6 different countries) I started influencing many than IFBB pros to unite.
In 1992 I got some response but unfortunately Wayne De Millia was partially right – saying: “Milos, you bodybuilders are all jealous of each other, and you’ll never going to get the union…Guys with contracts would be scared to loose contracts and those without one would be afraid never to get it – if they “cross” authorities…”
In 1994 there was PUBLISHED ARTICLE in MuscleMagInternational where I openly invite IFBB pros to unite…and everyone interested should CONTACT ME…
That was my last attempt at early nineties and while I did get many pros interested it was far from 50% of all pros requirement Wayne dictated as obligatory number of pros…for our union to even be considered…

Now, while I don’t expect you to know any of that – 50% rule could possibly ring the bell – as that was requirement that Shawn knew very well about it…Wayne knew that many pros have issues with Shawn – and doubted that he would ever come close to required number…and he was right again…

So, what did you do than Bob?
How many votes did you secure for Shawn back than…as you are so proudly mentioning to everyone:
 “Shawn and I were the ones who led the way to have a voice within the pro league...this was a direct result of MY attempt to start a union for the BBers as I felt they weren't standing up for themselves or their sport.

How did you “LED THE WAY”…what exactly did you do?
Can you PLEASE refresh my memory?

YOUR (!?!) attempt to start union?
DIRECT RESULT of your attempt to start a union?

In which Universe Bob?
The fantasy one – you live in?

And as you are mentioning IMPORTANCE for PROS to have a voice within the pro league TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES – please stop right here, take a good look what you are SAYING and than lets analyze what is that you are doing…to best judge WHO you really are Bob…

Athletes voice within the pro league – or officials voice within the pro athletes?

Bobychico, puppet executioner of each and every idea and/or decisions officials wants athletes to agree and accept…That is exact definition of you Boby, the clown…

Now, show us HOW are you standing up for the athletes?
Please…

By implementing Giepetto’s wishes and commends through most disturbing possible way: Announcing “changes” that need to be implemented here on the net (on this very board, for example) and basically stating that if someone is against it – to let you know…otherwise whatever necessary change is going to happen in “no time”. [And disturbingly – each and every “change” that happened “under your term” was/is exactly what OFFICIALS wanted to happen and NOT the athletes].

And that is PATHETIC!

While I was still holder of the PRO CARD I managed to stop you (again here on this very board…and I am sure people could do the search and find what was that all about…) but you used my absence and successfully changed each and every rule officials wanted to be implemented…No scoring posing round – for example…

Now, would you be so kind to show us list of pros who voted for ANY…and I do mean ANY change that was recently implemented…?

As the athletes rep, you should proudly state:

Athletes wanted this change, I received calls, emails, votes…etc from these gentlemen:
OK?

Make sure you write EACH AND EVERY one of IFBB pros who voted for whatever change…(and I do mean both of you…or you actually had more?)

You see THAT is WHAT YOUR JOB SHOULD BE…and that is kind of what Shawn WAS trying to do…

He did talk to athletes and HE DID FIGHT FOR ATHLETES – and as I realized he did – I supported him fully and I convinced NUMEROUS PROS to forget those little animosities they feel towards him…as HE IS FIGHTING OUR BATTLE…and for us…

Shawn and I had our different views on number of things – but here, I must admit – he was FIGHTING FOR ATHLETES and he was throughout his career ASKING FOR RIGHT THINGS…athletes would benefit from…

He was getting in fights with officials and thus earned his nickname “the mouth”…
His debates with judges during Olympia press conferences were legendary…(and I joined him pretty much doing the same – for a while…)

Everything is recorded and could be found – as “history”…

But, getting back at “you and Shawn” started union…I challenge you to show us WHAT you did…as maybe Shawn could chip in and explain WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

And – as much as I know that I am taking chances with this – I do count on “shorty’s” memory…and honor…

As 50% of the votes needed to be collected by the Olympia press conference date and he was waaaaaaay behind – I contacted all my European friends, IFBB pros and directly asked them to give Shawn a vote and support – as I am there “in his corner” and I support him fully…

And that is EXACTLY how he got so many votes that only couple were missing by the press conference time…and – I am sure many will remember – that is when Craig Titus joined publicly, on the spot…and we did get our 50%...

Yes Bob, I do remember you were there, at close proximity to microphone during Shawn-Wayne’s debate…as I took (and posted) so many photos on my board (still there btw)…

So, are you considering that “speaking” on that press conference made you “OUR LEADER”?

Tell me/us WHAT DID YOU DO at the time (or better yet – EVER?) that was FOR the benefit of the athletes?

YOUR (!?!) attempt to start union?
DIRECT RESULT of your attempt to start a union?

In which Universe Bob?
The fantasy one – you live in?

And as you are mentioning IMPORTANCE for PROS to have a voice within the pro league TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES – please stop right here, take a good look what you are SAYING and than lets analyze what is that you are doing…to best judge WHO you really are Bob…

Athletes voice within the pro league – or officials voice within the pro athletes?

Bobychico, puppet executioner of each and every idea and/or decisions officials wants athletes to agree and accept…That is exact definition of you Boby, the clown…

Now, show us HOW are you standing up for the athletes?
Please…

By implementing Giepetto’s wishes and commends through most disturbing possible way: Announcing “changes” that need to be implemented here on the net (on this very board, for example) and basically stating that if someone is against it – to let you know…otherwise whatever necessary change is going to happen in “no time”. [And disturbingly – each and every “change” that happened “under your term” was/is exactly what OFFICIALS wanted to happen and NOT the athletes].

And that is PATHETIC!

While I was still holder of the PRO CARD I managed to stop you (again here on this very board…and I am sure people could do the search and find what was that all about…) but you used my absence and successfully changed each and every rule officials wanted to be implemented…No scoring posing round – for example…

Now, would you be so kind to show us list of pros who voted for ANY…and I do mean ANY change that was recently implemented…?

As the athletes rep, you should proudly state:

Athletes wanted this change, I received calls, emails, votes…etc from these gentlemen:
OK?

Make sure you write EACH AND EVERY one of IFBB pros who voted for whatever change…(and I do mean both of you…or you actually had more?)

You see THAT is WHAT YOUR JOB SHOULD BE…and that is kind of what Shawn WAS trying to do…

He did talk to athletes and HE DID FIGHT FOR ATHLETES – and as I realized he did – I supported him fully and I convinced NUMEROUS PROS to forget those little animosities they feel towards him…as HE IS FIGHTING OUR BATTLE…and for us…

Shawn and I had our different views on number of things – but here, I must admit – he was FIGHTING FOR ATHLETES and he was throughout his career ASKING FOR RIGHT THINGS…athletes would benefit from…

He was getting in fights with officials and thus earned his nickname “the mouth”…
His debates with judges during Olympia press conferences were legendary…(and I joined him pretty much doing the same – for a while…)

Everything is recorded and could be found – as “history”…

But, getting back at “you and Shawn” started union…I challenge you to show us WHAT you did…as maybe Shawn could chip in and explain WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

And – as much as I know that I am taking chances with this – I do count on “shorty’s” memory…and honor…

As 50% of the votes needed to be collected by the Olympia press conference date and he was waaaaaaay behind – I contacted all my European friends, IFBB pros and directly asked them to give Shawn a vote and support – as I am there “in his corner” and I support him fully…

And that is EXACTLY how he got so many votes that only couple were missing by the press conference time…and – I am sure many will remember – that is when Craig Titus joined publicly, on the spot…and we did get our 50%...

Yes Bob, I do remember you were there, at close proximity to microphone during Shawn-Wayne’s debate…as I took (and posted) so many photos on my board (still there btw)…

So, are you considering that “speaking” on that press conference made you “OUR LEADER”?

Tell me/us WHAT DID YOU DO at the time (or better yet – EVER?) that was FOR the benefit of the athletes?

Why do you keep lying about how you got this job?

Just admit it that Manion handed it to you.

Shawn had to get voted in, while you just got the nod from your daddy.

OK - can we stop right here?

What do we have?

How about PLAINTIFF who is suing DEFENDANT in the courtroom of the judge...who just happens to be PLAINTIFF'S FATHER?

Should we speculate further?

Maybe that case was filed as plaintiffs father strongly suggested to his son that complaint he is using is "slam-dunk" winner - with death sentence for defendants parking violation?  

Should we throw in couple of million bucks (or 10?) for reasonable damages?

VINCE:
The one thing musclemen learn over the years in this subjective sport is not to make any waves. Keep a low profile and be pleasant to everyone. Now, I ask you, would any of these professional athletes go to Bob Chick to voice their complaints, etc.? That is the last thing most would do. Why? Well, they instinctively know that complaining to someone like Bob is like complaining to the boss himself. It doesn't pay to do that. Thus, Bob Chick actually represents the IFBB and informs muscleheads how to cooperate with the organization. He points out penalties to those who don't think straight.



BOB:
Couldn't be more wrong...but then again...it's you being you.  For those who might believe you...there couldn't be any worse way to make change than NOT bringing it to my attention...as they did in the past with no representation....I field calls, complaints, suggestions, etc on a weekly basis from pretty much everybody

Post by: Chick on May 01, 2009, 12:32:54 PM
Hmmm, I can't find the thread...so I guess I should post again?

The reality IS quite something else....the IFBB didn't appoint anything (or anyone)...WE did. Shawn and I were the ones who led the way to have a voice within the pro league...this was a direct result of MY attempt to start a union for the BBers as I felt they weren't standing up for themselves or their sport.  After Shawn stepped down, I was put in his place as the rep. The "job" was posted, there were no other candidates for the job....here I am 3 years later


Watch out that nose of yours, you’ll poke too many people around Pinicchio …hmmm…I think I’ll go with – Bobychico…

Who are “we” you are so proudly referring to?
Shawn and you…
Really?
What actually happened Bob?
Any recollection of the REAL TRUTH and not your usual BS or “fantasy facts” only you always seem to remember…


What "actually" happened was exactly what I wrote...read it again if you have trouble understanding it.

Shawn and you?
If it wouldn’t take you 15 years to turn PRO (you still have that chic…I mean chip on your shoulder? Let it go…) maybe you would realize that all the way back in 1991, during my first European Tour (hmmmm – BTW how many Euro Tours did you and Shawn do?) which lasted 4 weeks (6 shows in 6 different countries) I started influencing many than IFBB pros to unite.
In 1992 I got some response but unfortunately Wayne De Millia was partially right – saying: “Milos, you bodybuilders are all jealous of each other, and you’ll never going to get the union…Guys with contracts would be scared to loose contracts and those without one would be afraid never to get it – if they “cross” authorities…”
In 1994 there was PUBLISHED ARTICLE in MuscleMagInternational where I openly invite IFBB pros to unite…and everyone interested should CONTACT ME…
That was my last attempt at early nineties and while I did get many pros interested it was far from 50% of all pros requirement Wayne dictated as obligatory number of pros…for our union to even be considered…

Now, while I don’t expect you to know any of that – 50% rule could possibly ring the bell – as that was requirement that Shawn knew very well about it…Wayne knew that many pros have issues with Shawn – and doubted that he would ever come close to required number…and he was right again…


Nice war stories....all culminating in a big fat ZERO when it came to actually doing anything, or forming anything...there was certainly no union when I *finally* got to the pro's, or any voice for the athletes....so your efforts were for naught.


So, what did you do than Bob?
How many votes did you secure for Shawn back than…as you are so proudly mentioning to everyone:
 “Shawn and I were the ones who led the way to have a voice within the pro league...this was a direct result of MY attempt to start a union for the BBers as I felt they weren't standing up for themselves or their sport.

How did you “LED THE WAY”…what exactly did you do?
Can you PLEASE refresh my memory?



No problem....I circulated email to every pro in the industry (I'm sure you received one) calling for a union of ther athletes and a meeting to discuss the effort....noticable absent from the meeting were Shawn and YOURSELF...

After only 20 guys bothered to show any interest ( the rest were too scared to attend from direct threats from Wayne and Co.) It was determined that having a rep was the next best thing to at least try and gain a voice....Shawn had just retired and seemed a natural fit for the job....I campaigned to many athletes to sign the petition and get change initiated....did YOU sign it, Milos??



YOUR (!?!) attempt to start union?
DIRECT RESULT of your attempt to start a union?

In which Universe Bob?
The fantasy one – you live in?


No, Milos...in REALITY. You can talk all the shit you want...but the very corospondance I put out to over 100 IFBB athletes were posted right here on Getbig for all to see...and a meeting took place...without YOUR support.  


And as you are mentioning IMPORTANCE for PROS to have a voice within the pro league TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES – please stop right here, take a good look what you are SAYING and than lets analyze what is that you are doing…to best judge WHO you really are Bob…

Athletes voice within the pro league – or officials voice within the pro athletes?

Bobychico, puppet executioner of each and every idea and/or decisions officials wants athletes to agree and accept…That is exact definition of you Boby, the clown…

Now, show us HOW are you standing up for the athletes?
Please…

I have many proposals which are proof positive for standing up for the IFBB athletes...other than etting athletes fined and putting their contracts in jeopardy...what the fuck have YOU done?


By implementing Giepetto’s wishes and commends through most disturbing possible way: Announcing “changes” that need to be implemented here on the net (on this very board, for example) and basically stating that if someone is against it – to let you know…otherwise whatever necessary change is going to happen in “no time”. [And disturbingly – each and every “change” that happened “under your term” was/is exactly what OFFICIALS wanted to happen and NOT the athletes].

And that is PATHETIC!


Pathetic when you dont understand the  due process of submitting proposals, getting them voted on, and passed. (you know, the same due process you failed to abide by and got yourself suspended).  Please show where my proposals were what the OFFICIALS wanted? Which ones?  The one's garanteeing more money? Insurance coverage? More guys qualifying for the Olympia?

While I was still holder of the PRO CARD I managed to stop you (again here on this very board…and I am sure people could do the search and find what was that all about…) but you used my absence and successfully changed each and every rule officials wanted to be implemented…No scoring posing round – for example…

Now, would you be so kind to show us list of pros who voted for ANY…and I do mean ANY change that was recently implemented…?


I don't need your absense to do anything, or your presence for that matter....I' trying to get more money in the athletes pockets, not hang on to outdated "posing rounds" which arent scored anyway


As the athletes rep, you should proudly state:

Athletes wanted this change, I received calls, emails, votes…etc from these gentlemen:
OK?

Make sure you write EACH AND EVERY one of IFBB pros who voted for whatever change…(and I do mean both of you…or you actually had more?)

You see THAT is WHAT YOUR JOB SHOULD BE…and that is kind of what Shawn WAS trying to do…


You're just about the LAST guy that should be telling anybody how to do their job....least of all , me...



He did talk to athletes and HE DID FIGHT FOR ATHLETES – and as I realized he did – I supported him fully and I convinced NUMEROUS PROS to forget those little animosities they feel towards him…as HE IS FIGHTING OUR BATTLE…and for us…

Shawn and I had our different views on number of things – but here, I must admit – he was FIGHTING FOR ATHLETES and he was throughout his career ASKING FOR RIGHT THINGS…athletes would benefit from…

He was getting in fights with officials and thus earned his nickname “the mouth”…

Everything is recorded and could be found – as “history”…


Yep...history. History of getting nothing changed, nothing accomplished....for all of your bickering, there wasn't much of anything getting done, was there?

Please list all of the changes the both of you  accomplished with your "debates" and bitching at press conferences:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.





But, getting back at “you and Shawn” started union…I challenge you to show us WHAT you did…as maybe Shawn could chip in and explain WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

And – as much as I know that I am taking chances with this – I do count on “shorty’s” memory…and honor…



Feel free to ask him how it played out...truth is...he didn't try and start a union....I DID. Shawn came along after the fact


As 50% of the votes needed to be collected by the Olympia press conference date and he was waaaaaaay behind – I contacted all my European friends, IFBB pros and directly asked them to give Shawn a vote and support – as I am there “in his corner” and I support him fully…

And that is EXACTLY how he got so many votes that only couple were missing by the press conference time…and – I am sure many will remember – that is when Craig Titus joined publicly, on the spot…and we did get our 50%...

Yes Bob, I do remember you were there, at close proximity to microphone during Shawn-Wayne’s debate…as I took (and posted) so many photos on my board (still there btw)…

So, are you considering that “speaking” on that press conference made you “OUR LEADER”?

Tell me/us WHAT DID YOU DO at the time (or better yet – EVER?) that was FOR the benefit of the athletes?


My record is there for all to see...look it up yourself.  You would think you would know what they are, as you talk like you know the facts....obviously you dont.

While your looking up that info....perhaps you could enlighten everybody as top what YOU have done?  How many proposals have you submitted?  How many ideas have you brought to the table?  How much have you added over the last 3 years?

The one stellar quality that shines through when Milos posts is integrity. It takes guts in this bodybuilding world to speak out and campaign for justice and honesty in contests.

You know what is totally sad in this situation? That Bob is part of the machine and if he is removed then things might not go along as smoothly as before. However, Milos is correct that most pros don't approach Bob with issues and concerns because they know who he is loyal to. Both Milos and Lee Priest discovered how much Bob can help when they were threatened with suspension then suspended. Bob did absolutely nothing to assist them and if the truth be known he probably agreed with the suspensions. And this stooge actually comes on Getbig and tries to defend his performance for the athletes. What a joke. Intelligent guys can see what is going on.

Another thing. Can anyone imagine the crap that goes on in women's professional bodybuilding? The men have problems about valid judging and so on. The women's sport has been corrupt for decades and I see no improvements happening there.

There is a serious division in the pro ranks with America in one camp and Europe in the other. The European bodybuilders support Milos while Bob seems to be tolerated by the Americans. From where I sit it appears that those who support Milos don't fare too well in the important contests in America. We would hope that this sort of thing doesn't happen but it must be obvious to Milos. The way he was treated is deplorable but typical of the IFBB and why the bodybuilders need some sort of union to protect themselves from the crap that is handed out. When contests aren't honest then the whole sport is worthless and corrupt. There is our hero, Bob C, taking on Milos in some pseudo debate about ethics when that is a field he has no currency or respect in.

Bob's only authority is threatening people with a big stick if they don't do what they are told. Fearless dudes like Lee Priest were sent to Siberia to cool off. What a bloody joke the who damn professional sport is. Those who are winning just play along with the authorities and say nothing. Those who don't do well had better not say anything, either, or place even lower next time.

Bob and Manion have to go and be replaced by elected officials who can operate in an open and honest fashion.

Let me be totally candid and serious here for a moment. Other than be accused of being a murderer, being accused of being a pedophile is almost as bad. It is disgraceful that Bob C goes along with that shit and suggests such things about me. I call that cowardly and despicable behaviour. This man should hold no office in any bodybuilding or public office for behaviour like that. Why Ron tolerates that shit on this board is absolutely disgraceful and almost unbelievable.

There are serious threads and then there are fun ones. This is a serious thread. So when posters resort to the usual putdowns and crap that is nothing but a red herring and a smokescreen. I would say these things to anyone here in person. I don't hide behind fake names nor do I resort to gimmick accounts to do my dirty work. Everything I have to say is done in an open and honest fashion.

Bob C must have admired the Sophists who were around Athens about 300 BC and were contemporaries with Socrates and Plato. Would you believe those Sophists charged Socrates with impiety and he was sentenced to death by those unethical people. They silenced the greatest ethical philosopher of all time. Clearly it is dangerous to debate with unethical individuals and nowhere more so than the internet where people do all manner of things to save their face or win arguments.

Bob C is good at collecting debts and arresting people. He has little clue about ethics and doing the right thing. Well, except being loyal to those who pay his wages or who appointed him. Have we ever seen such a guard dog as Bob C?! The bodybuilders fear him and know he carrys a punch because of his connection with Manion. This whole sham as athletes rep is a disgrace. That man is charged full of self-importance and power instead of being pleasant and empathic. He is the epitome of the individual the IFBB needs and recruits. He is loyal to the nth degree and defends the IFBB and Pro League to the end. In other words, he is nothing but a patsy and stooge for them.

Chick has two sides.  The 'cheerful public face' and the 'fearful private face'.

Chick relishes the power he holds over the athletes. 

And in turn, the athletes are these frightened and 'voice less' emasculated spankers.

Title: Re: Athletes Rep - Chick has the easier job
Post by: Chick on May 02, 2009, 04:40:39 AM
I feel inclined to believe Vince Basile and Milos Sarcev on this topic. 

If Bob is being paid for other jobs by the IFBB (muscle mags, etc.) and is the athletes rep AGAINST the IFBB, then there is a conflict of interest there.  If he pisses off the IFBB, then they cut him off and he loses money.  I think that is what it all boils down to in the end.  He is in it for the money, and will dance to the tune as long as they are paying the bills.  The athletes rep position may be "unpaid", but I'm sure it still has its rewards with the IFBB for him.

Milos and Lee being banned I think is ridiculous.  Some of the greatest physiques in the sport, and both interesting characters, and they are banned from competition because they spoke what they thought. 

Vince, when arguments / debates arise, the ones who can't logically or ethically defend their position always resort to character attacks.  They will call you a pedophile, etc.  b/c they can't beat you in the argument, so they try to undermine you as a person so people wont listen to what you say, or take it seriously.  Like you said, anyone with any sort of intelligence can see the conflict of interest issue with Bobby C. 



I can solve your question very easily....I get ZERO dollars from the IFBB...nothing, nada, zippo, zilch.

Anyone who has any sort of intelligence knows what he's talking about and the facts, before reaching a conclusion of their opinion.

Hope this helps yours

Didnt Bob hold a meeting not too long ago and only a handful of people actually showed up? LOL
I dont think the "athletes" give a shit about Bob's efforts and contributions. Bob seems to be the a self righteous know it all with everyone laughing behind his back.

I dont think he gets any sort of respect from the "athletes".

Ever wondered WHY athletes never bother showing up?
Why I stop showing up after initial visit DJ, Darrem, myself and I believe Jason Arntz were all the pros showing up at Olympia weekend meeting...

Does anyone realizes HOW BAD that truly is?

During Olympia weekend I bet - at least 50 IFBB pros make it to Vegas...AT LEAST that and possibly more...Some to compete, some to work the booths of endorsing companies...some - just to be there...and here it is - ONCE A YEAR meeting that Bob organizes and 4 of us showed up...


Hmmmmmmmmm, ANYONE THINKING?

What do we have here?

What do officials want?

Wayne - didn't want us to have a Union, representation...or voice...

He made very difficult for us to get one...with that 50% rule...which BTW we could challenge - but I knew I have enough European friends who would sign in - so I suggested to Shawn to just gladly accept the challenge of Wayne/officials...and we WON...AND IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS...

Well...what happens next...as Shawn could maybe tell us the REASONS WHY he stepped down...?

Somebody didn't want him there...fighting for the athletes...Somebody preferred much better to have YES MAN...or "puppet executioner" Bobychico there...and - the rest is history...

THE END...

Well, until the sequel ...coming to a theaters near you..."IFBB PRO REP 2!!!"

Staring - one and only Bobychico, the clown...Sorry - the Clown...with the capital C...(there are occasions and examples when capital letters should be enforced...and Bobychico here is - perfect example...) "Give me some rope I'll show you how to hang yourself in no time - making complete fool out of yourself along the way - by claiming something that everyone could very easily check, confirm to be exactly the opposite of what you are so arrogantly claiming"

Strategy of the Ostrich with head stuck deeply under the ground...believing to be invisible... ;D

Boby...o Bobyyyyy...Bobychico.... where are youuuuuu?
We can't see youuuuuuu.....

Come out, come out wherever you are.... - could be a teaser - trailer scene....

Hmmmmm, I think I'll start writing the script...and have Chris (Bigger, Better, Bobychico ....oh no...it was Bigger, Faster, Stronger?) - guy direct the movie...

Investors interested - said money to 1101 South Placentia Avenue, Fullerton CA 92831...

Make sure you put "Bobychico, the Clown" (make sure you use CCCCapiltal C...or your money back)

All of you are content on calling chick out for being a decitfull person, (which in some cases he most surely is), and yet none of you are in league with me in my accepting his challenge to a polygraph test. I would have expected more support.

Nonetheless it is happening. Its put up or shut up time for the Chickster.

What Getbiggers find hard to believe is that Chick still wants that pro rep position even though it is completely unpaid. Sounds like the Pro League have the perfect stooge for the job.

You know folks, sit back and think about the ironical reality. The Pro League appointed a former deputy sheriff to represent the pro athletes. WTF was that? Why appoint a guy with a background like that? Seems to me Bob is doing cadet deputy sheriff work for the IFBB. You know, serve a notice on Lee Priest then enforce that order later. He is good at handing out penalties and punishments. He always explains why the offender deserved what he got. You gotta admire the diligence that Bob C puts into that unpaid position.

Perhaps is because Bob actually gives a shit about other pro bodybuilders rather than only thinking of himself.  I would honestly say a big factor was having to work so long to get his pro card that its a lot more meaningful to him than to others.


Lee Priest was thinking about his wallet when he turned his back on the IFBB to compete in the PDI.  Lee Priest was NOT thinking when he trashed Ben Weider in MD.



The fact is the Lee Priest knew what would happen and he did it anyway just to make some money off beating some amatuer athletes and he thought he would be let back in quickly because he was the great Lee Priest.  That was his ego thinking

I have a question about Eggwhites Int'l:   I see on your website that your best price for egg whites is a 4-gallon carton for $112 + $20 shipping, which works out to $33/gal.   http://www.eggwhitesint.com/store.php?crn=66&rn=283&action=show_detail (http://www.eggwhitesint.com/store.php?crn=66&rn=283&action=show_detail)   I can go down to my local Wal-Mart and purchase Egg Beaters 100% egg whites for $1.98 for a pint carton, which works out to $15.84/gal.  So my question is, why would I buy from Eggwhites Int'l and pay more than twice as much for the same item, plus have to deal with the hassles of shipping and huge gallon jugs?  A follow-up question is, how long do you intend to stay in business with your  current pricing structure?

Thanks, Bob!  :D

Remember Lee said he was going to start some foundation to raise money for bodybuilders in need????  Where is it..

Melvin, you really are naive and simple. Maybe you are trying to score some points by trying to support Bob and his role as the IFBB company stooge?

Just stop and think for a moment. Why do bodybuilders need someone to represent them? If the contests were fair dinkum why would anyone be upset and have issues? Well, over the decades plenty of questionable things have happened to the hapless bodybuilders. So many unsatisfactory things combine to make things less that perfect for the competing bodybuilders. The point is that if the organization was responsible and fair there should be no need to have anyone look after the competitors because the organization would be doing that. That we do need someone to campaign for conditions and so on for the bodybuilders proves the officials behind the contests leave much to be desired.

Here are some important issues affecting all competing bodybuilders.

1. What judging system is being used. Should there be scoring rounds or just comparisons to separate and place competitors? Should judging occur only at the prejudging?

    What criteria should be used to assess physiques? What about a posing round? How much importance should each factor have?

    When do bodybuilders get to add input to this important issue? Can judging criteria and processes be changed to make contests fairer?

2. How many judges should there be and what qualifications should they have? Who picks the judges? 

3. What is the procedure to deal with questionable judging? How does any competitor redress grievances re placings that are lower than expected?

    What to do when a competitor feels a judge or judges will not be fair?

    Can unfair and biased judges be removed and perhaps banned for life? How do we assess whether a judge is biased or unfair?

4. Re health: what is going to be done about steroids and other drug use in bodybuilding? Should there be out of comp testing? What is done to those who test positive?

5. What about the issue of augmenting muscles to appear larger than they are? Additives such as oil based substances and inserts should not be allowed. Penalties for offenders?

6. What kind of posing wear should be allowed and can bodybuilders have an input on such standards?

7. The issue of implants to augment missing tissue in mammary glands of female competitors. Should they be outlawed to make the sport more natural? Maybe athletes shouldn't vote here?

8. The use of chemicals and substances to change body colour. Such 'tanning' agents probably shouldn't be part of the sport.

9. The amount and division of prize money. Who decides and do the competitors have a say about this important business?

10. The rules re professionalism. Can bodybuilders have a say re the process of qualifying as a professional? Can competitors lose their professional status if standards drop?

11. The issue of signing contracts for competition with various organizations and businesses. This is quite complicated but important if if makes a difference to livelihood.

12. The issue of behaviour outside of competition. Are there inappropriate ways to behave and earn money? The issue of G4P and porn should be clear so that everyone knows the rules.
     
      What are the penalties if competitors offend and have inappropriate lifestyles? Should competitors with criminal records be allowed to compete? What about issues re selling of drugs?

13. Should competitors have a say about photos and videos taken at contests? Should there be someone to oversee what photos are used in magazines and on the internet? The point is       
      that images and videos do impact on perceptions of bodybuilders and can therefore influence judging in future contests.

14. How to deal with promoters and various issues competitors might have regarding how they are treated and conditions they endure while competing at various locations.

15. How to deal with publicity and the media before, during and after contests. Anything that can impact on placings should be something competitors can voice opinions about.

16. The internet and freedom of voicing opinions. Should bodybuilders be allowed to have freedom of speech regarding bodybuilding, contests and lifestyles? Should organizations be
      able to limit participation in online forums? If the internet influences placings in contests then bodybuilders should have a say about this whole enterprise. Should competitors be
      allowed to post or have posted for them various photos and videos of condition leading up to contests?

17. Who gets to run bodybuilding in the various countries around the world? Do bodybuilders have a say in who is organizing the contests? Are these people replaceable through open

      elections held annually? What is needed is transparancy and the absence of any person who might show bias one way or other to anyone who is competing. Positive and negative bias

      are both undesirable. What are the standards for becoming a professional and should there even be any such thing? Do bodybuilders have a say here?

18.  What behaviour is acceptable and what forbidden re judges and officials? Can these people speak out or should they be limited in what they can say? Eg., voicing opinions about

       competitors and placings.

19. The issue of women's competition. Categories, criteria, scoring, etc., etc., etc.

20. Issues of having a union for and of competitors to have rules and a voice re concerns. What role will this union have and what power is vested in it? Elections for reps?

21. Health issues re bodybuilding. Concerns about both short term and long term issues. Can bodybuilders be covered for health insurance?

22. Issues where winners, etc., are invited to be at contests, etc. Eg., should all winners be invited if past winners are being introduced at say a Mr Olympia contest?

23. How to deal with disclosures in the future re cheating and bias in contests? What process should be followed and what penalties dealt out? Can winners and  placegetters be stripped of

      titles, trophies and prizemoney?

24. Issues re the eligibility of contestants. Should you be allowed to win the Mr or Ms Olympia only once? Can bodybuilders decide this issue?

25. Review of all rules, codes, regulations and procedures in bodybuilding? What input can bodybuilders have? How frequent is this process and who is overseeing this process and when

      and where is this held? Can the constitution be changed by the bodybuilders? What is the process and what is the quorum required?

That we do need someone to campaign for conditions and so on for the bodybuilders proves the officials behind the contests leave much to be desired.



Same reason the NFL has a players union, MLB, NHL, NBA, and every other sport...if the athletes dont look out for themselves, we find ourselves back 10 years ago, with less money to show and unfair treatment as per the last management that was in place

Here are some important issues affecting all competing bodybuilders.

1. What judging system is being used. Should there be scoring rounds or just comparisons to separate and place competitors? Should judging occur only at the prejudging?

    What criteria should be used to assess physiques? What about a posing round? How much importance should each factor have?

    When do bodybuilders get to add input to this important issue? Can judging criteria and processes be changed to make contests fairer?


Already been brought up and changes to the judging criteria has been put in place...as per the last 3 Pro League meetings

2. How many judges should there be and what qualifications should they have? Who picks the judges? 

3. What is the procedure to deal with questionable judging? How does any competitor redress grievances re placings that are lower than expected?

    What to do when a competitor feels a judge or judges will not be fair?

Thats why they have a rep, to go to with questions or concerns...which many have done.

    Can unfair and biased judges be removed and perhaps banned for life? How do we assess whether a judge is biased or unfair?

They have a system in place that drops highs and lows, thus making it hard for any one judge to make much of an impact

4. Re health: what is going to be done about steroids and other drug use in bodybuilding? Should there be out of comp testing? What is done to those who test positive?

5. What about the issue of augmenting muscles to appear larger than they are? Additives such as oil based substances and inserts should not be allowed. Penalties for offenders?

Actually one of the very few issues we agree on...if it looks funky, and detracts from the physique...the athlete in question should be placed last

6. What kind of posing wear should be allowed and can bodybuilders have an input on such standards?

7. The issue of implants to augment missing tissue in mammary glands of female competitors. Should they be outlawed to make the sport more natural? Maybe athletes shouldn't vote here?

Any bonus in making the women LESS feminine or atractive?

8. The use of chemicals and substances to change body colour. Such 'tanning' agents probably shouldn't be part of the sport.

9. The amount and division of prize money. Who decides and do the competitors have a say about this important business?

10. The rules re professionalism. Can bodybuilders have a say re the process of qualifying as a professional? Can competitors lose their professional status if standards drop?

11. The issue of signing contracts for competition with various organizations and businesses. This is quite complicated but important if if makes a difference to livelihood.

12. The issue of behaviour outside of competition. Are there inappropriate ways to behave and earn money? The issue of G4P and porn should be clear so that everyone knows the rules.


The ACLU might have something to say about that...
     
      What are the penalties if competitors offend and have inappropriate lifestyles? Should competitors with criminal records be allowed to compete? What about issues re selling of drugs?

13. Should competitors have a say about photos and videos taken at contests? Should there be someone to oversee what photos are used in magazines and on the internet? The point is       
      that images and videos do impact on perceptions of bodybuilders and can therefore influence judging in future contests.


Irrelevant as judges should be judging on whats standing in front of them, not what some picture on the internet looked like

14. How to deal with promoters and various issues competitors might have regarding how they are treated and conditions they endure while competing at various locations.


Bring it up to the rep

15. How to deal with publicity and the media before, during and after contests. Anything that can impact on placings should be something competitors can voice opinions about.

16. The internet and freedom of voicing opinions. Should bodybuilders be allowed to have freedom of speech regarding bodybuilding, contests and lifestyles? Should organizations be

Chick, why is the prize money so low?  The Arnold and the Olympia seem like they could do better.  Shit, how much revenue does the Arnold create?  It should look like this:

1.) 250,000 + car + rolex (custom Arnold classic version)

2.) 200,000 + rolex

3.) 150,000 + rolex

4.) 100

I'm still wondering why Bob's "special" egg whites cost more than twice as much as egg whites in the grocery store, when the one and only ingredient in both products is identical. 

Perhaps you're paying for the cool muscular chicken on the box.  ;D

I have a question about Eggwhites Int'l:   I see on your website that your best price for egg whites is a 4-gallon carton for $112 + $20 shipping, which works out to $33/gal.   http://www.eggwhitesint.com/store.php?crn=66&rn=283&action=show_detail (http://www.eggwhitesint.com/store.php?crn=66&rn=283&action=show_detail)   I can go down to my local Wal-Mart and purchase Egg Beaters 100% egg whites for $1.98 for a pint carton, which works out to $15.84/gal.  So my question is, why would I buy from Eggwhites Int'l and pay more than twice as much for the same item, plus have to deal with the hassles of shipping and huge gallon jugs?  A follow-up question is, how long do you intend to stay in business with your  current pricing structure?

Thanks, Bob!  :D

It's even a better deal at Costco.

Yes Bob, you are in essence, part of the 'egg whites' scam.  You are  part of this blatant rip off.

If you care about this sport then why are you so callously 'stealing' money from the fans?.  That's right Bob, this is just daylight robbery. You are no different than Milos and King with their scams!

And i thought that having you posting obsessively on Getbig, day and night, was enough of joke...well, i was wrong!

1M purse would sure be nice....why is the prize money so low?  Probably because of the unique set up of having individual promoters put on shows...if the IFBB put on their own shows as I've suggested for years...it just might be possible to see such numbers in the future.

#2 FACT: NOTHING THAT ATHLETES REQUESTED FROM VERY BEGINNING : MORE COMPARISONS + ORIGINAL SCORE SHEETS - that you said in 2006 meeting (last one I attended realizing the size of your nose and strange brown color all over it - with striking and disturbing - smell) - that you have written conformation from Manion personally - that starting 2007 NEW RULES ATHLETES asked for WILL BE IMPLEMENTED....NEVER MATERIALIZED

As the very first show 2007 - IFBB Ironman clearly showed...

So, the very change athletes asked for that you said was ACCEPTED - you lied...as NOBODY AT THE JUDGING PANEL KNEW ABOUT IT...

You confirmed 2006 that from 2007 - TOP TEN FINISHERS WILL ABSOLUTELY AND CERTAINLY - all be compared against each other....

And - what happened....???

And ORIGINAL SCORE SHEETS with exact scores of each and every judge in every round...? Became - what ?

Instead of 2 rounds at prejudging - we have ONE score...and than FINALS - and posing routine is NOT even being judged anymore...

Hmmm, can you give us (me) a LIST WICH IFBB PRO ATHLETES requested that change?

Bobby the Clown?

FACT: every change I propose does come from me, as I am the representative...congrat ulations, now you know the definition of a "REPRESENTATIVE"....The ideas I come uip with come from myself and many other ideas from other athletes I'm in contact with throughout the year.  As usual, I'm always receptive to ideas from others....so far...NONE from you have come in.



#2 FACT: NOTHING THAT ATHLETES REQUESTED FROM VERY BEGINNING : MORE COMPARISONS + ORIGINAL SCORE SHEETS - that you said in 2006 meeting (last one I attended realizing the size of your nose and strange brown color all over it - with striking and disturbing - smell) - that you have written conformation from Manion personally - that starting 2007 NEW RULES ATHLETES asked for WILL BE IMPLEMENTED....NEVER MATERIALIZED



There is no question that MORE comparisons have been implemented....just ask the athleets on stage. So far, since the rule change...I have yet to receive ONE SINGLE complaint of not being compared enough.



As the very first show 2007 - IFBB Ironman clearly showed...

So, the very change athletes asked for that you said was ACCEPTED - you lied...as NOBODY AT THE JUDGING PANEL KNEW ABOUT IT...


Which was Manions fault...I suggest you take it up with him. It's not my job to tell the judges what rules have been changed. I'll be happy to let Jim know of your displeasure you have of his job

Rounds 1 and 2 are a combned score.....round 3 is the posing round, which is scored just as you wanted it. Round 4 is the posedown...I suggest you actually attend a show to see how it works, seems you are a little misinformed.  



Hmmm, can you give us (me) a LIST WICH IFBB PRO ATHLETES requested that change?ther tha that...what the hell are you talking about?

How about a list from you as to how many proposals YOU have submitted? How many ideas YOU have contributed?  So far, NOTHING....

Our eggwhites are double filtered and heat pasteurized...so you can drink them as easily as cook them. So they all may contain the same product, but the process is different.

That said...egg beaters tastes like my balls. Our product tastes like eggwhites.

Not familiar with egg products from Walmart or Costco

All other products (at least egg beaters, costco, all-whites, etc) are pasteurized as well.  I would imagine they would be filtered too, since that would be part of the process of separating the white and making sure there is no yolk or shell in the final product.

"Egg beaters tastes like balls"?  I'm assuming you are referring to the original product that contains thickeners, colorings, flavorings, etc.  I'm talking about the newer 100% egg whites product that contains nothing but egg whites, which wouldn't taste any different than your egg whites, since egg whites are egg whites.

Face it, you're selling the exact same product for more than twice the price.

But at least if I order from you, I get a cool muscular chicken on the box, I get the product in unwieldy gallon jugs, and I get to wait for shipping and delivery, right?  ;D

You have to shake your head at the way the brain of our cadet deputy sheriff processes information. Bob C can enforce rules and regulations but has no clue when it comes to creating better rules.

Take the way the IFBB judges physiques. I won't even touch the controversial topic of female physiques! Why on earth would any judge want to see each competitor standing relaxed front, right, back, left, front? Likewise, why have individuals do their standard poses? To me this is just a waste of time and adds confusion to the judging process.

Judging physiques is about comparing competitors, not assessing them.

This is what has evolved from NABBA in England and it has stood the test of time.

1. Stand groups of competitors in a lineup and introduce everyone to the audience and judges by name alone without adding any details. Do the turns.

2. Call individuals back to do their posing display. Judges can then see each competitor doing his best poses. Selections are made for the comparisons.

3. Compare all competitors in the various groups. Standing and then standard poses or whatever the judges want to see. Who selects who to come out is very important and should not be     left to any one person.

4. Comparisons are made between those from the different groups to select final placings.

5. No scoring at posedown or evening show. There must be no opportunity for judges to talk to others re the competitors. This includes officials.

No scoring takes place during the judging except to award final placings. Judges must separate the competitors into places.

Important contests should have more qualified judges. 15 judges for the Olympia should be the minimum. Judges should be known and respected by the competitors.

I think we need a rule that both hands have to touch the thighs during all the standing relaxed turns! What has evolved is a travesty to the concept of being relaxed.

Orlando's not a bad place at all.  Great climate, decent direct-flight airline access, and not terribly backwards.  It doesn't have the population base to be a first-tier city, but all-in-all it's not a bad place to live, and it's cheap to live there compared to LA.

No go and find him! Fair dinkum!

Getting back to the topic here. If you people look at what Bob C does and not what he says then what must you conclude? Simply that he accepted an appointed position because he thinks he is the best guy for the job. In other words, he approves of the way the Pro League runs things and I suppose he wants to have some input into how it all goes down. If we listen to comments he has made on the radio and webcasts then it is clear he doesn't think too much about the professionals. It is almost as if he is there to make sure all get exactly what they deserve. Thus, he supports most of the system that runs the IFBB. You know, a judging system for the pros that allows a certain amount of correcting before placings and prize money are awarded. To insiders like Bob C, this IS justice and he uses all his skills as a cadet deputy sheriff to assist muscleheads with his advices. Naturally, the guys who aren't that clued in will believe Bob is their mate and doing his best to help them. Ha, nothing could be further from the truth. Bob is there is help his real mate, Jim M, who runs the Pro League. Bob was rewarded for services rendered not only by awards from the IFBB but also winning an important contest a couple of years ago. Why should Bob go against the system that saw him win against some better bodybuilders? Well, he doesn't and that is a fact. Not all the professionals are stupid and most know what is going on and therefore they don't attend so-called athletes meetings. It doesn't matter to Bob because he feels he is doing his job anyway. He doesn't need the input of the professionals to know what to say to the Pro League. Milos has exposed Bob C once and for all as an hypocrite. There is Bob still posting away and claiming he is totally innocent of all charges.

I guess we all have to be careful what we post online because it could be posted on Getbig. I used to live in Canada and palm trees were something you saw indoors. So when I went to Fiji in 1969 I had a photo taken half way up a palm tree. It was a trick because the tree was sloping but if you took the photo from the right angle it seemed like you were climbing the palm. Fast forward to 2004 and there I was duplicating the shot for a laugh.

The shot in the cage was for a laugh, too. Sure, few might have shots taken like that but I have a sense of humour.

You have to wonder, though, what is more peculiar, posting amusing photos on one's website or Getbiggers harvesting photos there to post on Getbig?

His customers are bodybuilders.  Therefore, by definition you are correct.

I'm sure his product is just as good as any other egg whites.  But he's selling a commodity, yet he's pricing it as though it's somehow unique and differentiated.  Premium pricing a commodity doesn't work.  That's why you never see people paying more for "brand name" gasoline or electricity.

Depends really.  People pay for premium water.  Bob is targeting pure bb's.  These consumers will pay more for a product endorsed by a pro, or for a product that claims to be "better", "more pure" or "more powerful".  Bob is asking for a price and his market is responding.  Why should he drop his prices until he has to?  Actually, I think Bob is doing a good job with this (in regards to ROI and driving rate/price).

That = where the brains of BB's comes in. They think supplement products = differentiated because of smacktalk like "ion filtered" and "anabolic molecular augmentation (not used yet, but meatheads will buy it once its used ;D), when it = mostly just the same crap they could have gotten at half the prize some other place.

Even if a product is 2% "more effective" after some obscure technique, those 2% becomes nothing in the grand scheme of things besides becoming a justification for paying a premium price.

Post by: The Master on May 05, 2009, 08:53:35 PM

That is partially because the water is augmented with stuff like taste, and because it feels more comfortable and hygening drinking it from a bottle. Many elements can be brought in to differentiate it.
Some smucks also thinks its more "healthy" (which can be debated).

If the public had been continously made aware of the reality behind it, they'd probably be less inclined to buy "branded water" and just buy some sweetener or artificial taste for their own water.

Comment: If a cheaper alternative has worse taste and "drinkability" and so on, then it = understandable to pay a higher prize.

Another thing is that there = no critical voices out there that tells people that supplements = expensive and often useless. All you find in the magazines are commercials and articles praising snake oil, and almost nobody telling you that it's all crap.

Of course, this benefits the entire industry as its built around selling snake oil.

Protein can be convenient and creatine works. (there are a few others out there as well). The real benefits of using these products continously for 5 years compared to training and dieting like a scientist without much supplements can be discussed though.

But! Most supplements are either snake oil, or the supplement companies sell stuff like protein and creatine way overprized without any real extra benefits. (Like paying twice the prize for glorified egg whites). Grossly overpaying after reading about a 100000% better effect (which = none at all) = snake oilish.

And if you look at what the industry tries to sell you compared with what you actually need, then you start to see that this industry = snake oilish.

The Egg Whites International is a lot more portable to take with you than cartons of egg whites and more convenient.  When I'm traveling, I'll put one in my cooler  and when I get to the hotel I can stick the container in the mini frig.  You can't do that with cartons as they will bust and spill over.

Now for people like me that stay in nice hotels on vacation, breakfast is usually around 30 bucks a day and is full of fat and grease.  I can simply cook up a nice omelet along with a cup of coffee and save some money and let the kitchen keep the fat and grizzle for themselves.

The Egg Whites International is a lot more portable to take with you than cartons of egg whites and more convenient.  When I'm traveling, I'll put one in my cooler  and when I get to the hotel I can stick the container in the mini frig.  You can't do that with cartons as they will bust and spill over.

Now for people like me that stay in nice hotels on vacation, breakfast is usually around 30 bucks a day and is full of fat and grease.  I can simply cook up a nice omelet along with a cup of coffee and save some money and let the kitchen keep the fat and grizzle for themselves.


At home, I use store bought egg whites but travel wise, the Egg Whites International are the best

Where would a poor negro travel to? Anyway, it's not like you're a real bodybuilder, why pretend eating like one?

Don't change the subject you old salt.  The fact is that you're complaining about a job that you are not even qualified nor even affects or has anything to do with you.

You're not an IFBB pro, Basile.  You're just a washed up has been that's trying to make a name for yourself in your final years. 

I'm sorry but you had your chance when you were competing but you didn't train or diet hard enough to be the best.  Live with it.

This is a bodybuilding forum I bet you lot are meatheads too.

I would never pay what Bob is asking for his egg whites.  However, I think he is doing a great job at pricing his product for his target demo.  Goat didn't just buy the product, he actually read the label first.  He's not worried about taking in an egg white that is not designed for bodybuilders.  A true "meathead" would never do that.  They want "the best"!

Btw, I am a big advocate of supplements that work.  It's not all snake oil,....about 60% is.

Goatballs is a perfect example of someone that thinks everything is the same, while smarter people know that you get what you pay for...

While it may look like the same thing for half the price, it aint.

1. their product has a 7-10 day shelf life and loaded with preservatives...ours is flash frozen without, and has a shelf life of 3-4 months.

2.Their stuff isn't doubled filtered, ours is giving it the consistancy of milk, which is much easier and better tasting to drink (which accounts for more protein)

Their products are primarily made for baking, which has a whipping agent added....ours doesn't contain such a thing and is made to cooked, or drink.

3. We have a referrel fee which you can actually MAKE money on...I don't see Walmart or Cosco with that offer

4. While filet mignon and beef stew may both technically be steaks, there s a big difference between them.

That's actually not correct.  The ingredients of both yours and theirs list exactly one item:  "egg whites".  Preservatives or any other additives would have to be declared.  The shelf life of egg whites is identical whether they are in your box or their box.  You're comparing the shelf life of one in the refrigerator to the shelf life of another in the freezer?  Do you think we're stupid?


Their products are primarily made for baking, which has a whipping agent added....ours doesn't contain such a thing and is made to cooked, or drink.

Wrong again.  The FDA requires all ingredients to be declared.  If my grocery-store-bought egg whites had anything other than egg whites in it, these additives would have to be listed under the ingredients.  My egg whites have one ingredient: "egg whites".


4. While filet mignon and beef stew may both technically be steaks, there s a big difference between them.

We're not comparing "filet mignon and beef stew", we're comparing "apples to apples".   Face it, we're talking about the exact same product.  Exactly the same.  The only difference is the packaging.  Saying "ours is better" is your attempt at a bullshit excuse to justify overcharging.



3. We have a referrel fee which you can actually MAKE money on...I don't see Walmart or Cosco with that offer

Wow, so you're saying if I work really hard and get all my friends to buy your stuff I can end up getting a price somewhere near what I should have paid to begin with??  How generous of you.  Sorry, Bob, I'm not up for joining any MLM-Pyramids today.  You might hit up Jaguar Ent, though...  I hear she's looking for a new gig now that her "gas mileage pills" are played out.  :D

What bothers me about the brains of typical muscleheads like Goodrum is that they have absorbed all crap fed to them by the internet and muscle magazines. I doubt that Melvin Goodrum, aka Venom Vince Versace, aka Vince G CSN MFT PHD is capable of independent thought. If he were then he would realize that all the professional bodybuilders have been brainwashed and manipulated by the IFBB and Pro League.

When Joe Weider created the Mr Olympia contest it was to give the various champions a platform to compete. In those days the only big show you could win over and over again was the NABBA Professional Mr Universe in England. Reg Park and Bill Pearl won this title many times. So did a few other guys like Boyer Coe. So Joe wasn't really doing anything original. I don't think he predicted that the title would be held by a few individuals for so many years. Arnold, Haney, Yates and Coleman won way too many times. Sometimes guys won who were title holders that didn't deserve the victory. It appears that title holders were given gifts some years and we can think of Yates and Coleman after they were injured.

The Mr Olympia was for champions of various titles to come together in an open contest. There was no need to have to qualify as a professional in those days. In NABBA you were considered a professional bodybuilder if you owned a gym. How naive was that? Just because you own a gym doesn't make you a professional bodybuilder. Being around your own gym all day doesn't give you much incentive to train because you have customers to talk to and help and maintenance and cleaning to do. Yes, gym owners often do a lot of those things. What evolved in the IFBB was a system where the bodybuilders could be totally controlled so that the IFBB always held the power.

Post by: Vince B on May 06, 2009, 04:46:16 PM
I am keeping posts shorter to help the comprehension challenged like Goodrum. Guys like Goaddick can follow an argument more than a paragraph long.

Those who haven't been around the Irongame for decades just accept what goes on in bodybuilding. That is what the IFBB wants. They don't want anyone upsetting their system so goodbye anyone too outspoken and controversial. Lee Priest and Milos are two intelligent and outspoken guys. I would put Frank Zane and Mike Mentzer in this category. If you look back you will see that all the outspoken guys were maltreated by the IFBB or they somehow didn't win the top title or any more Mr Olympias.

Why muscleheads accept this corrupt system is a mystery. Well, they all fear what the Pro League can do to them so no one at all speaks out and they definitely don't get together and organize any protests. Doing anything like that will land you, at best, in 8th place and usually out of the top 10. You have to kiss butt to be given a pro card in the first place. In some countries that card is mysteriously awarded by the appointed vice-presidents. Yes, Ben Weider created a system that Napoleon would have been proud of. Maintain absolute power and treat the peasants like the sheep that they are.

Gotta hand it to you Bob, the PR guy you called knows his stuff.  "Cheap" would indicate lower quality. Effective retort with just the right imagery on your part.  However, in this instance it doesn't reflect reality, since it's the EXACT SAME PRODUCT.  You're trying to characterize this as "filet mignon vs. hamburger", when in reality it's you selling sirloin @ 20.00/lb, and all of your competitors selling sirloin @ $9/lb.

Look, Bob, I am not goading you like Goatboy about eggwhites.

From where I sit it is obvious to me the pro athletes don't have anyone representing them. Don't bullshit that you are representing them because Jim appointed you. That is not representing the athletes. Don't come on here acting like the good guy when you are definitely part of the problem the pro athletes have. Lee clearly saw it and you can't reply to what Milos has said about your efforts. Seems to me Milos knows what he is talking about.

Resign the postion and at least let everyone know the raw truth that they don't have anyone representing them. The sham has gone on for far too long. The Pro League has their backroom boy in that position while the pro athletes get the shaft. Everyone knows what is going on because none of them are speaking up. They saw what you did to Lee and Milos and they are all going to be good from now on. I doubt you should be proud of what you have done.

Here we go again with bringing up bodybuilders from the past AGAIN in a pathetic attempt to argue your case???? 

As far as the NABBA is concerned, if they were giving professional status to people who owned gyms then that's prob one of the many reasons why the IFBB is the top dog for.

I give credit where it is due. Melvin looks fairly big off season. What has impacted on him is the difficulty in getting into contest shape. It isn't good enough to look impressive in your bedroom mirror. You need striations showing and some people find out they either can't get that cut up or they lose too much size in the process. I think Melvin errs trying to keep too much size and he ends up a tad soft in the lineup.
