Title: Any others read the BOBservations column in FLEX
Post by: Howard on September 18, 2009, 07:26:10 PM
I do and find Bob Chicks practical tips/insight some of the better ones out there. I liked his last one where he talks about how "balls to the walls" psycho training may NOT be the smartest way to bodybuild in the long run. I remember legend Lee Haney always saying something similar.
I also took his advice on reg barbell squats and benches and now avoid them.
At age 50 those kind of movements are NOT worth the risk of serious injury.
If I can simply maintain the mass I have and get leaner , I will be thrilled.

LOL, very funny ;)
Ya why would we want to discuss actual training tips from a pro in a FLEX column. A bodybuilding board is so much better served  with threads about "who owned who" in some pissing contest ::)

Is the gel spiked hair style required for an impressive crab shot?
What would the verdict be on this in BOBservations.

Go away, Howard. I am trying to ungay your thread. Do you know how much hard work it takes to exorcise the gay out of your threads?  :P

You're missing the point. There are no real "tips" in those mags. They don't really discuss how they got their physiques (drugs and their real diets). Every month, it's the same bullshit. Eat 1.5 grams of protein per body weight. You've read one mag, you've read them all. They NEVER give credit to the drugs.

If you like reading the same bullshit every month, good for you. Hell, you probably believe the "pros" really write columns, and really use minimal amounts of drugs. You choose to believe what you want, as this is your fairy tale world. Funny thing is, you start thread about being conflicted about the drug use, but continue to support this facade.

I've never had beef with you Howard, in fact, I've defended you in the past. But sometimes I wonder, if maybe you need medication....

Trust me after all these years around BB , I know all too well about the crazy aspects of the sport.
However, I do find Bob Chicks tips pretty valulable and practicle. I am old fart and still enjoy the printed page and glossy pics in my hand.

I honestly think the BOBservations column is written by Bob Chick. It sounds just like him when you speak to him at expos. Sure, some stuff is ghost written based on what they know from the pros they speak to.
If it is a good article with sound advice, who cares if Bart Blowfart actually wrote it

Because it is ripping people off. They inply that the article(s) are written buy newbie's heros, to sell more magazines, wheras they are written by authors that would not sell a magazine if it were known that they were the true authors.

Yeah, but based on Dexter's victory speeches, what other choice do we have? :'(

Ok , I have spoken with Ron Harris and some publishers about this "ghost writter issue".
What happens is they get feedback, info, etc directly from the pro (a call ) and then write it based on THAT with their own unique writting style with proper grammer, syntax, etc
Reporters often do the same thing when they write a lead for a newspaper.
Sometimes a pc gets recycled , like Arnold's training from his heyday in the 70's.
They still attribute the pc to ARNOLD however. Sure they cut/paste some training pics that were not exactly like the article , but you get the idea.

To me the real "crime" is when some top pro endorses a supplement they never use and the ad is all over the mags.
That has got to be some of the worst cases of "false/misleading" ads I ever saw.
I am honestly surprised it is legal hehehe
