Palumbo became the epitome of a physique destroyed by chemicals. Everyone knows the syndrome. Lately I have noticed another syndrome appearing that represents what happens to lots of big dudes who try to get ripped to compete. Mike Arvilla once posted that I was a gimmick account so I do owe him. Sometimes retribution takes time but is always fitting.
Arvilla is a big guy off season. 19 inch arms are not that common so he has paid his dues. However, when preparing for competition he finds he loses heaps of size and is still not that defined. He transcends into a mere novice physique instead of the big guy one expects from the before photos. He ended up with chicken legs as well. The same phenomenon happened to hapless Melvin Goodrum who used to be a big guy. He finally shed some adipose tissue but ended up looking like he took up weight lifting just months ago.
Another popular fellow that experienced Arvillaism was our own True Adonis. To get the ripped look he ended up looking like a male model who lifts weights to keep fit.
The list goes on. AVBG, Billy Guns, etc. All become mere street urchins and not he-men after the ripping process.
The truth is most bodybuilders carry a lot of bulk and when they shed some to get ripped they end up looking lean and not so big or pleasing. This is a good lesson and maybe most Getbiggers should refrain from competing because they transcend into something less as a result.

Very interesting...
So, who's gimmick are you?

LOL the Flotsam don't disappoint. Most Getbiggers can't take the unvarnished truth.

Don't be hateful Mr. Basile, better to be respectful to your fellow getbiggers.
-
LOL the Flotsam don't disappoint. Most Getbiggers can't take the unvarnished truth.
You're old and fat.
How's that for "unvarnished truth"? :D
-
Did I omit someone from the list?
-
Mike's biggest problem is his abs.if he could ever get a 6 pack he could win the local shows he enters.

Hey!
The other guys are flotsam.
I’m jetsam, okay?
Stop profiling.
-
19 inch arms were good enough to win national titles in the old days. Even Mr Universe. However, today it is a different story and guys like Arvilla can't win a decent local show which is a pity but there you are.
Judges require cuts and that means shedding a lot of bodyfat. Arvilla still didn't have ripped glutes and his legs were very weak. In addition, he ended up with angular lines instead of smooth ones. That is also part of the syndrome.
Guys in the old days looked better because some fat gives better lines to the muscles. Today many guys end up looking weird instead of great.

again, EPIC playerhating of the modern age young muscle studs

We are not flotsam, we are jetsam you canadian queer

Vince its called not having developed muscle where they should be...
I personally feel part of the problem is not maintaining the load on the muscle... any decrease of load/tension is not a good thing many become "pumpers" when prepping for a comp. Maybe not ideal... Part of the problem is zero carb dieting...
-
Vince now going after Mike A!? Be like an old lady swinging her umbrella at a masher.
-
Vince chill. Your a has been that lives in the past. You and your hand is the only thing you have to look forward to. Making threads like this just proves your disgrace.
-
I am sick of the asskissing platitudes thrown around Getbig. "Looking good, Mike", etc. Well, I don't bs about bodybuilding so tell it like it is. Arvilla is a big guy off season but becomes a mere novice after cutting up. He still doesn't look that ripped so what can we say? However, he loses his lines and looks weird as a result. No need for others to soften the blow because he fails to win even local comps. That says it all.
I know he has supporters because Arvillaism is widespread. If muscleheads would actually train hard and heavy for years and years they might develop some hypertrophy that will remain after shedding some bodyfat. I think too many wannabes believe the crap about steroids, etc., and take shortcuts. When they decide to get ripped they find their coveted muscles evaporating before their eyes.

Ha, ha, the Flotsam are easy to stir. They won't recover. Most need a reality check. They should be grateful of my contributions.

What contributions Vince? Your being a bitch boy trying to take another GB member under the rails with yourself, when they have admitted their faults before. Wtf have you done lately? Not a damn thing. Figured you would have committed suicide by now.

Arvillaism remains despite measures to kill the messenger. Praise and blame fall away from me like rain from an umbrella.

Vince, what amazes me is that you still think your relevant. God, we do wish you could contribute knowledge to GB, but you have always fallin short.

Who contributes anything of value on Getbig? What a load of crap. The Flotsam wouldn't know a beneficial theory if it hit them in the head.
Arvillaism is widespread. Witness the legions of female bodybuilders suffering from it.
-
Who contributes anything of value on Getbig?
you obviously havent read any of the posts from jewitt?

What a load of bloviation.
I think it is pompous to suggest someone is just that. A PhD reduced to Flotsam by association. Congratulations.

Give us your honest, unvarnished, evaluation of this GetBigger's physique.

I'm not a bodybuilder not have I ever claimed to be a bodybuilder nor do I have any ambition whatsoever to pose and flex my muscles on stage. I do resistance training as part of an over all conditioning program to compete in a sport.
But I have to hand it to you, as the most despised member on both GetBig and Ironage you still manage to chug along. I don't know if it's because you are delusional or senile. Here is an a PM I received from a very respected member on IronAge, a far more tolerant and civil board than the wild, wild West that is GetBig:
Thanks for your input in the "overtraining/volume" thread. You are, of course, correct: Vince is a blowhard.
I know arguing with him's a futile endeavor, but I can't stand someone arrogantly strutting around the Net, spouting off vaguerisms and silly tautologies that illustrate just how "clueless" everyone else is. It's hard to not call him on his b.s.
Take care,
-
BTW, when was the last time you saw your abs? Or, at least your feet?
You rag on Goodrum but you have some chutzpah even commenting of anything to do with bodybuilding and physical conditioning looking like the mess that you do.
Go back to taking pics of muscle men and wishing you had my abs. ;D

not to play the "defend my internet friend" card but you must be out of your mind

You should have been there, JNN! The school was just starting out and he was the one who gave out the free introductory lessons. When he was showing me how to do a hip throw his stache was no less than 3 inches from my very eyes. Three inches! There it was in all it's glory and majesty. I grew dizzy and light headed and for a minute saw a bright white light. (no homo)
It's one thing to see it in pictures but in person.... it was then that I knew how Moses felt when he got to the top of Mt. Sinai.
I was never the same person again.
-
I like to stir the pot now and then. I thought about this syndrome before posting so expected the usual shit hurled in my direction. Getbiggers seldom have the resiliance to laugh at themselves but that is what most need to maintain a sense of humour about lifting weights and posing in mirrors.
My motto is never waste mirrors!
I respect anyone who tries to improve his health, fitness and strength. Bodybuilding is a great hobby but when it comes to competition it really is sad what many go through to get titles and trophies. Modern judges have lost the ability to assess physiques using valid criterion so most default to using 'conditioning' to separate the competitors. The result is Arvillaism in most competitors who look small and insignifcant instead of huge musclemen that you see in the gym.

I thought your motto was "never waste minors"?

I do not want to encourage these sorts of tasteless and over the line innuendos. Even GetBig should have some, at least cursory, standards of decency.
But shit, that was funny!

I don't get it. So what is Arvillaism?
Is it the process of losing size while dieting for a contest? Because that has always been the case, unlike Palumboism, which is a recent phenomenon.
BTW, how do you think you'd fare standing next to Mike, with both of you in your prime shape? Not asking that to flame you. After all, you both juiced.
-
Most if not all natural trainers of average height end up leaning out well under 200 lbs. People fail to understand the shear weight loss involved in getting cut to ribbons. Even a relatively lean, toned looking person usually has to drop a minimum of 10 pounds to get ready for a show. Btw Vince, TA holds good size for the type of condition he's displayed.

Vince Basile has got to be the oldest true Getbigger. Much props, Vince.

Exactly. Most people body build to get in shape and, frankly, to try to look good -- especially to the opposite sex. Few ever want to get on stage. I'm no fan of the pseudo intellectual, TA, but I have to be honest and admit he's in great shape and sports the type of build that most of the general populace aspire to and most women find attractive.

It isn't just losing some fat for contests. It is the process of trying to get really ripped and ending up looking like a novice. Whether steroids contribute is unknown but something is happening to so many guys who enter contests. They are mere shadows of their former selves.
Adonis ended up quite small. I could care less about how cut up he was. A moderator invited me to judge the last Mr Getbig but I turned down the invitation because the guys presenting were novice grade. Most novices have little clue about bodybuilding and take competing way too seriously. Afterall, it is mostly a matter of opinion who is the best on stage.
Getbiggers think insulting someone wins the argument. Nope. That is so only for knuckleheads and wit-challenged individuals.
-
Adonis looked no better than a lot of athletes at the Olympic games. End of story. I am not knocking him or his physique but used him as an example of a guy who lost a lot of size just to look good in the lineup. That is the price many have to pay to win even local contests. That look isn't what I call improving the physique. However, judging has changed over the years and I shudder when I realize that Steve W is still a judge. There you are.
-

What better compliment to pay to Adonis. We should all look so good.
-
Vince, you make your own gym equipment?
-

Vince can you provide a shot that proves you ever looked better than Adonis at the first Mr getbig???
-
Nicky.Smith is a bloke, right? Where do all these names and characters come from? This board resembles the Day of the Triffids.
-
You're a tool, Vince.
Is your general rule in life: If you can't compete at the top level, just give up? That's an attitude for success! It explains quite a bit about your stratospheric achievements.
I guess I can't join a softball league because I can't minimally play at a minor league player's level? I can't shoot some hoops unless I can dunk? Hell, I'm not working at a millionaire's level, maybe I should quite my job.
Mike, and others like him, enjoy the sport of bodybuilding. It's a hobby. They participate at whatever level they can, not to impress choads like you, but to gain a better appreciation of the sport.
Since nothing you have done in your life that rises to my definition of success, please die now.
-
It isn't just losing some fat for contests. It is the process of trying to get really ripped and ending up looking like a novice.
Agreed and that is one of the reasons I've never wanted to compete.
But who are you comparing these guys against? It can't be the pros, cause obviously, guys like Arvilla don't juice at that level. There are the genetic elite and then those who are not so gifted. Mike has never claimed to be pro material.
not to impress choads like you nicky.smth, but to gain a better appreciation of the sport.

my god cliff notes please

my god cliff notes please
Cliff notes: Someone is having a bad day and must blame someone for it.
Does it matter if I actually agree with him or not?
-
Arvilla looks pretty good....he's doing his own thing.....getting big but not wanting to ruin his health to win at all costs....thats my guess anyway
btw, you judge him like he's training for the Olympia.....strange
-
i don't know why people even respond to the fat retarded pedo basille
self delusional fat kiddy molesters aren't entitled to an opinion
the ironic thing is that all the people he is criticising look way better than him
-
Only on Getbig can anonymous dickheads insult others with really low accusations. Most known champions steer clear of this forum.
Arvilla blasted me in the past and I let it go. He was boasting about being a big guy with 19 inch arms. That is impressive. His condition on stage at his last show impressed some of the Flotsam who train in basements but he was a diminished Arvilla and we wonder where his muscles went.
The phenomenon of being big in the gym but quite small on stage is what Arvillaism is. I partly blame modern judging standards that reward the ripped look and disregard things like shape and aesthetics.
Good for anyone who competes. I prefer that the stage condition equates with the self-importance on Getbig. Is that too much to ask?
-

I am comparing Arvilla with Arvilla. Hope this helps.

Guys in the old days looked better because some fat gives better lines to the muscles. Today many guys end up looking weird instead of great.

What amazes me about people on the net is how moralistic they are. If someone disagrees with them they lash out and attack the person. Hypocrites outnumber the fair dinkum by a large margin. How is it that these same stellar souls can castigate others in truly nasty fashion? Slander is the currency of these challenged people and they do gang up thinking they are doing a great service.
Arvilla and the others are dreamers. That is okay because you don't achieve anything valuable unless you have goals and dream of succeeding. I just find it rather amusing that the actual physiques of most Getbiggers wouldn't impress on Bondi Beach.
-
Vince, maybe the problem is that you still live in the past. You can't compete nowadays at any level unless you're at single digit body fat. No more than 7% even for a local level. That's not easy for anyone let alone someone trying to do it and hold on to some muscle. If the big version of Mike competed against the "small" version the leaner version will win every time. Maybe not to you but nobody cares what you think.
Leave Mike alone. He's a good guy and loves bodybuilding. Like the other guy said, you don't have to be top of the top to compete. When you have a competition coming up, whatever it is, life takes on a different meaning. You have this heighten sense of awareness and purpose. It doesn't matter if it's Mr. Florida or Mr. Newton Street. You have a goal that you're working for.
It's called living. Try it sometime.

Palumbo became the epitome of a physique destroyed by chemicals. Everyone knows the syndrome.

He transcends into a mere novice physique instead of the big guy one expects from the before photos. He ended up with chicken legs as well.

Another popular fellow that experienced Arvillaism was our own True Adonis. To get the ripped look he ended up looking like a male model who lifts weights to keep fit.
The list goes on. AVBG, Billy Guns, etc. All become mere street urchins and not he-men after the ripping process.
The truth is most bodybuilders carry a lot of bulk and when they shed some to get ripped they end up looking lean and not so big or pleasing. This is a good lesson and maybe most Getbiggers should refrain from competing because they transcend into something less as a result.
Don't see any reason to hate Vince, he's telling the truth, and it's same thing for me, from a strong 275lbs and 20 inch gun in off season to a weak 235 lbs in diet, make me looking in clothes like i never train, but i'm natural.
but for guy claiming to take several roid and even gh, there is no excuse to fail a diet.

I'd say what we learn from this is not so much Arvilla-ism, but everyone-ism. If you're not on juice then size is almost impossible to keep when cutting. Alex should take head. :)

Why this isn't obvious to anyone who has every tried to diet down to single digits is beyond me.
-
but for guy claiming to take several roid and even gh, there is no excuse to fail a diet.
I know little of juiceiology but I understand you have to take more to retain your muscle in dieting period, so if Arvilla was actually skimping on his juice (because he might be poor), wouldn't the end result look awfully similar to what is occurring?
And vince, how is it that you have so many arvilla pictures ?
-
Why do people say that Vince is a Pedo? This is a serious allegation to make. He seems like a good bloke to me.
Is he Australia's answer to Alasdair Mackenzie of Netmedia Business Solutions ? At least Alasdair and his friend Jimmy Saville are totally honest about their fondness for young men but what has Vince done to deserve this tarnish?
-
Vince is 5'11 with a reach of 105-inches. What's up with the orangutan arms :-X
LOL I was thinking the same thing, fucker has got long arms. Maybe boxing would be a good choice for him?

Yes and even if you are it must be of good quality (not fake or way under dosed) and you must take plenty of it.

Palumbo became the epitome of a physique destroyed by chemicals. Everyone knows the syndrome. Lately I have noticed another syndrome appearing that represents what happens to lots of big dudes who try to get ripped to compete. Mike Arvilla once posted that I was a gimmick account so I do owe him. Sometimes retribution takes time but is always fitting.
Arvilla is a big guy off season. 19 inch arms are not that common so he has paid his dues. However, when preparing for competition he finds he loses heaps of size and is still not that defined. He transcends into a mere novice physique instead of the big guy one expects from the before photos. He ended up with chicken legs as well. The same phenomenon happened to hapless Melvin Goodrum who used to be a big guy. He finally shed some adipose tissue but ended up looking like he took up weight lifting just months ago.
Another popular fellow that experienced Arvillaism was our own True Adonis. To get the ripped look he ended up looking like a male model who lifts weights to keep fit.
The list goes on. AVBG, Billy Guns, etc. All become mere street urchins and not he-men after the ripping process.
The truth is most bodybuilders carry a lot of bulk and when they shed some to get ripped they end up looking lean and not so big or pleasing. This is a good lesson and maybe most Getbiggers should refrain from competing because they transcend into something less as a result.
Basile, did you ever stop to think that the standards of conditioning has drastically changed in the past 40 years. You have to be more lean and shredded to be competitive. If you brought your physique onstage from the 70's you would have been laughed offstage.

Basile..Basile. You cry out about all the people using steroids yet you pumped yourself full of Dianabol and Anavar to win your only title Mr Canada.
I came in my last show shredded and maintaining a good portion of my size and did it drug free unlike your puffy ass. Now hush up because your time is long over

QED. Goodrum demonstrates that he has become the disappearing dude by shedding some adipose tissue for his latest competition venture.
I used 2 Dianabol tablets for about 90 days before the Mr Canada contest. I have never used any other anabolic drugs. I don't take supplements and seldom even aspirin.

Cat fight !!!! Pfffftttttt, pfffffttttt.....

I find it hard to believe but even with your bag of drugs, if you showed up on stage today in a local bodybuilding show, you would be in the back of the bus. Conditioning wasn't much of a factor in the 70's but it is today.
And again, don't criticize the use of steroids by athletes when you used them yourself to get your POS title. You didn't fare well in the contest in Australia as you were in the back of the bus. In fact, Basile, have you won anything of actual value???
Didn't think so

Why does VinceB, an older White guy, have so many pics of VinceG, a young gay Black man, on his computer!?
-
First off i wanna thank everyone for "having my back" so to speak ......second you can call it "Arvillaism" or whatever you want lol/i call it "doing it on my own/on a budget"
My legs are the last to "come in" (take these 2 pics .....on the left is after pre-judging at my very first contest
on the right is a few weeks (month?) out my Last August show (NPC Florida State)
im "big and full/round" but not shredded (esp my quads/hamstring area) so i "bump everything up"/more cardio....less carbs.....etc
and i end up "flat and ripped" but much smaller (id post a pic from that show but im trying to not post as many pics of myself anymore as it was getting to be a bit too much)
trying to get my legs to come in those last few weeks/months i tend to lose a lot of size
(i have only done 3 shows...it's all still a learning process to me)
i don't have Hany Rambod to guide me lol (so i do the best i can)
I do love it and have a passion for it......and that's something someone like Basile can never take away
Somewhere .....right in the middle of these 2 "looks" would be ideal i think!...

Vince you're a MORON. Much respect to ANYONE who trains and competes, regardless of outcome.
BTW- You look like shit Vince. :-X

Remember guys this dirty old pedo Vince Basile claims
My grip strength alone could tear out ribs from would be assailants and easily break any ordinary Joe's arm.
-
when vince basile fight and vince goodrum fight it is akin to when Adrian Monk fights that other psychopath that goes to Dr. Kroger...
some of you will get that one
-
Mike looks like he kept most of his size when dieting down, he just had a lot of bodyfat when he was big.
-
It does make us wonder how the professionals manage to stay huge and have ripped glutes. Jay sure surprized everyone with the cuts in his thighs this year. Lesser mortals fade compared to those guys.
Mike A has impressive delts. His long arms sort of overshadow his upper body. When legs are not that big to start with they end up even smaller on stage.
I started this thread as a bit of a lark. Seems most here take everything way too seriously. I am not taking anything away from anyone on Getbig. I might even be motivating some to try harder. It is sad that so many rely on drugs to obtain sufficient size to compete. That is not at all what I support. Good to see Mike and Melvin posting in this thread.
People stone those they disapprove of or don't understand. Nothing has changed over the eons. Humans are still emotional animals and many are rather vulgar creatures, too.
When I first saw this photo of Jay I thought it was a cartoon. First time that has happened to me with a photo of a bodybuilder.

Basile, how many times do I have to tell you that you're stuck in the past?? I mean, the fact that you're so old that you have pictures like this should tell you that you have no idea what's happenning in the day of bodybuilding.
The last picture scares me because of the fact that I've seen similar pictures in my history textbook in school.

Just so you know...you're not the King..... ::)

Arvillaism- A person who loves bodybuilding, still makes improvements in his 40's, still has the discipline to keep dieting and training and competing and will probably still look good into his 50's and 60's. Someone who is fortunate enough to have a mate that not only supports his endeavors but also has the discipline and motivation to train herself..even through extreme physical challenges. So Arvillaism isn't such a bad syndrome.
Basileism- Someone who has a lifelong interest in bodybuilding and manages to build a decent physique in their youth..but somehow through lack of drive or purpose allows themself to become an individual who looks like they've never picked up a weight. In other words , another schmoe-like person who seems to stay involved in a sport that they no longer personally participate in. Tries to write clever and witty discertations but finds themselves unable to stop repeating their same, tired worn out phrases.. such as constantly referring to their detractors as "Flotsam" or "Stooges". Those struck with Basileism are especially bitter for they know..many people can look good in their youth,,but they don't have the discipline to look good into their 40's ,50's or 60's cause that truly requires effort and drive. This realization causes them to lash out at those inflicted with Arvillaism.

I could not agree more !

Arvillaism is a definite phenomenon. Those who fear this happening to them attack the messenger.
Having a hot girlfriend doesn't eliminate this physical process.
Hope this helps.

Why are his legs so Skinny???

Basile is owning you homos! You are all worked up like drama queens!
Basile..I salute you! You know how to "provoke" the flotsam and make them come after you like a angry pack of poodles! Very entertaining! Please continue! ;D

It is amazing what a moron can achieve on Getbig. When I taught high school I received several large wooden spoons at the end of the year from my colleagues.
The reality is most Getbiggers are little guys who dream of being big one day. Arvilla to them is a huge dude worthy of being praised and admired because he represents what many aspire to. Since bodybuilding is about building large muscles it makes me wonder why on earth any intelligent guy would trim down to a shadow of his former self just to try to win a trophy in some local contest. Guys like this you cannot help.

Why hate On Mike you old 78yo scarecrow? He's been nothing but cool and joyful with us...
You on the other hand are bitter to the bone and pathetic from head to toe.

Give me a chance lol! (those pics are from my very first show/and yes i dieted down/lost 70 lbs that very first time/contest!)
here is one from my last show (national qualifier the NPC Florida State Show)
i am improving/getting better!
like i said......it's all a learning process
;)
-
Look, Goodrum almost died for you bitches and here you are bagging me. How about a fair go? Arvilla has either never trained calves or has had polio. That is what we used to say about guys with no calves. How on earth is losing a local show elevating the ego? Beats me. It isn't as if Mike is a young guy. Sure he has big arms and delts and a reasonable back but he loses way too much size when he trims up. Even then he still had a way to go. I find this Arvillaism rather pointless and counterproductive to bodybuilders. Stay big and forget about winning local shows.
I am a fine figure of a man for my age. I don't do much but occasionally get out and take photos while carrying a heavy back pack. The last time I did this a couple of weeks ago my calves were 17 1/2 cold the next day.
Maybe that internet expert M Twain aka Pellius can help hapless Mike out re getting bigger calves?
-
no surprise Vince is obsessed with arm and calve size
-
please don't tell me you have mike's pics saved on your harddrive?
cuz the way you upload them onto your posts indicates that you are uploading them from YOUR COMPUTER rather than "hot linking" them from another website
EDIT: i'm a 31 year old man with a woman's hairstyle and even you having mike's pics saved on your hard drive is pathetic to me

Vince, in reading your initial post, I assumed it as being your failed attempt at levity. Nevertheless, when it comes to Arvilla, I suspect many people admire his love of the sport and his dedication to it. A stark contrast to someone such as yourself, who spends the bulk of his time complaining endlessly about it.

QFT. "Vinny" never got in shape once in his life so he wouldn't know how dedicated Mike was and why we respect him...

Vince Basile is the true hero. He is dedicated to cleaing up the flotsam that has flowed in with internet. He has done a great job in this thread, exposing drama queens, Arvila groupies and other flotsam. Keep going, Vince!
-
And Mr Wonderful spends a lot of time bagging me. Ironic, huh?
Mike has heaps of photos of himself on the net. I upload lots of photos especially if they are pertinent to discussions. I sometimes have to shake my head when I retrieve photos of Goodrum filed under 'bodybuilding' on my computer. There is no difference to downloading photos to buying magazines with musclemen inside.
I needed photos of Arvilla to illustrate the phenomenon. I am a member of Team Goodrum. Would you believe Melvin actually invited me to be his friend on Facebook?
Mike is a likeable dude who gets along with most on Getbig and elsewhere on the net. I am hardly bagging the man. The phenomenon he epitomizes cannot be ignored and I have a duty to educate younger guys who might avoid similar mistakes.
Can we imagine how small some of these guys will be if they get ripped glutes and 3 rows of abs?

Nope, I don't post on muscle sites as anyone but myself. I find it rather cowardly to use an alias. We from the old days were taught to aspire to be real men and taking responsibility for what we post is definitely part of that. I don't need to have a gimmick account to return to bag others. I do it in the open and have always taken responsibility for my words. I have to be careful not to slander anyone unlike the flotsam here who behave like unruly school kids and think they are really cool.
Look at the threads on Getbig? Most are childish to say the least.

Old joke: How do you clear a guido bar? Answer: Yell 'Yo, Vince, your Vette's on fire.'

And Mr Wonderful spends a lot of time bagging me. Ironic, huh?
Mike has heaps of photos of himself on the net. I upload lots of photos especially if they are pertinent to discussions. I sometimes have to shake my head when I retrieve photos of Goodrum filed under 'bodybuilding' on my computer. There is no difference to downloading photos to buying magazines with musclemen inside.
I needed photos of Arvilla to illustrate the phenomenon. I am a member of Team Goodrum. Would you believe Melvin actually invited me to be his friend on Facebook?
Mike is a likeable dude who gets along with most on Getbig and elsewhere on the net. I am hardly bagging the man. The phenomenon he epitomizes cannot be ignored and I have a duty to educate younger guys who might avoid similar mistakes.
Can we imagine how small some of these guys will be if they get ripped glutes and 3 rows of abs?
I just call it as I see it. Offering a counter point is hardly bagging on someone, Vince.

There are no tough guidos.

I came in my last show shredded
:D

Skipped ahead and this may have already been written but cutting tends to magnify flaws in genetics and training.
Personally, I'd argue Adumbass and PicZilla looked good before slimming down too much.
Vince never looked good.

What a name! What were your parents thinking! ;D
I lied :( ;D

I don't tell fibs nor do I distort reality. I called Melvin's hotel a couple of years ago because he sounded like he was battling there using coupons and such for meals. The first time I called he wasn't in. I caught him later and asked if he needed any money to get by. He said he was fine. He didn't want to talk because he was busy. Perhaps he had someone with him?
Because so many had bagged hapless Melvin over his small and smooth condition I offered to train him in Sydney and even had accommodation with a friend ready for him. This was before he came out of the closet. Melvin preferred to stay in the hills of North Carolina using Pilates machines instead of learning how to get big. While I find Melvin's antics a hoot I do try to help people if they want it. In this case, Melvin preferred to get advice elsewhere and the rest is history.

There is only one 'Vince' in this thread and he is straight. The other is named Melvin Goodrum and he lives with a bloke. The story goes that Melvin was a professional wrestler called Venom Vince Versace and the name Vince stuck. Of course, there is no record of anyone using that handle wrestling anywhere in the Carolinas. A wrestler did confirm that Melvin used to shout out insults at wrestlers and some wanted to wring his neck. Melvin insists he was hired to warm up the crowd and was very good at stirring people up. The crowd used to throw soda bottles and other stuff at him! A guy like Melvin hardly wants to use his real name on line so came up with the legendary Vince G CSN MFT.

Thanks for highlighting my debilitating condition "Arvillaism". I was trying not to make it too obvious, but I can't.

My real name is Horace Bradley, why do you want to know that?
I am an immigrant from Syria. I came here on a B1visa then changed it to F1visa. I was in college until my family followed me to the USA. Then I could not afford my college fund so I stopped to take care of my family. After 9/11 the immigration told me I had to register with them. Then they took my passport, F1visa, and my i-94. So I have lived in the USA for the past 12 years without authorization to work. I have done a couple newspaper routes to support my family (which can only support them so far). Recently my driver’s license expired and the BMV said I could not renew my license without papers from immigration. (what papers?!). So now I live in the "land of the free" without a license and the authorization to work. Now you tell me is that fair? I have a clean history with everything. All three of my boy's( 6,10,13 yrs.) do well in school. I don’t drink, smoke, or anything. My main goal is to raise my kids in a free place.
Hope this helps

Guys who compete are risking damage to themselves by losing too much fat. The body sheds muscle before it wants to shed fat. That is why so many lose size when trying to cut up for contests. The extreme dry look might impress judges but is a dangerous state to be in. Goodness knows what fellows do chemically to their bodies to achieve the ripped look. People are getting ill and risking death in the attempt to look good on stage. When so much size is lost you have to wonder why guys would do that just to win those cheap trophies. I think we have gone too far.
Competitor after competitor from Getbig have gone through this ordeal only to present with a very depleted looking physique that hardly impresses onlookers. I have seen this happen to popular guys in the good old days and some just lost way too much size in the process. I doubt the judging will change so expect more guys to get sick or depleted on stage. We used to boast about our health as bodybuilders. Today that can't be done except in the naturals and even they are going to extremes to win titles.
In my opinion, Steve Reeves still looks better than the modern giants of professional bodybuilding.

Above shows you have no clue why people do actually compete. Its not for the trophy, its for the sense of accomplishment. I thought you were older and should know better and having supposedly competed yourself many years ago would understand. How do you have any idea how much juice they take, maybe its just a couple dianabol tablets like you claim to have taken.
-
What the hell, Vince n' Melvin are going at it again? I knew there was a reason to stick around!
Two things:
Melvin, you're a fucking horrible "bodybuilder".
Vince, what's your 'in a nutshell' solution to Avillaism (sic?)?
...one final note:
Melvin, you're a fucking terrible 'bodybuilder'.

they are losing fat not muscle
weight training in a fasted state is anti-catabolic
people tend to carry a lot more fat than they realise
-

Fat? They are losing water as much as anything.
This "sport" is extremely unhealthy and a guy like Arvilla goes from looking muscular a few months before the show to the average-starved-man look during the show.
Vince Basile is a genius who has invented many things and flotsam like you should listen to a genius.
-
I am no genius but few bodybuilders invent anything re gym equipment.
It is naive to think that only fat and water are shed when trimming down to compete. Lots of muscle evaporates. We can blame our distant, primitive ancestors. Apparently, fat is more important to survival than muscle tissue. As you get older you will discover that you lose muscle first and fat second.
Some accuse me of forgetting why guys enter contests. Nope, I realize they want to transcend themselves and get acknowledged for their physiques. Nothing wrong with that. However, going by what the Flotsam post here I am afraid most have no clue whatsoever about building muscle so default to using steroids and other chemical means. Is it any surprise when these challenged souls try to cut up and end up drawn and small? The same mentality finds them painting their bodies prior to contests instead of getting a tan. The whole sport is unhealthy and a sham.
Avilla would be better off just staying big and forgetting about getting up on stage in posing briefs. He can do as he pleases but we observers can comment on what he presents as a bodybuilder. Personally, no one should ever compete with calves under 16 inches. That is my opinion. I know some are not blessed in that muscle but there you are. Getting ripped and losing a lot of size is plain lunacy. These contests mean very little.
I hope this helps. By the way, look at the lack of respect I get even though I am a national champion. Most here couldn't carry my gym bag! So don't tell me that winning a contest is a worthy goal of Getbiggers.

-
I like mike but i'd like to see some calf improvement before he competes again...
-
Vince Basile is a hypocrite he has said in the past few getbiggers have proven themselves on stage etc etc now the ones who do don't get respect from him...
To spend 10 or more years training to get up on stage in posing trunks is not for the weak. Enterring a contest takes nerve, dedication and discipline.
Hey, Goatboy, glad you like the photos from my high school reunion. Look like I have a fan club, afterall!
I can only imagine what anonymous guys like Goatboy have achieved in life. This specimen dares not post a photo so we can conclude he has never put on posing trunks and competed. That is typical of Getbiggers who feed off guys like me who have done just about everything in the sport.
Well, it is the rare person who actually competes. The vast majority just train to get bigger and stronger but most never reach their potential.
Vince what will you think 2 months down the track? wheres the conviction? wheres the passion? or are you going senile?
Why does it matter to you if someone loses what you perceive to be muscle tissue? its not like it affects you... If that where the case why don't you fuckin get your act together and train again after all sarcopenia is knocking right at your door... should we then advise people not to age?
-
This is Getbig where little anonymous dudes blast Olympia competitors. So don't tell me commenting on depleted heroes like Arvilla and Goodrum is out of bounds. These guys can argue for themselves, but why get up on stage looking like that? That defies anything associated with sensible or intelligent. That some wannabes support these hapless souls is acknowledged but these guys ended up way too small in my opinion. Goodrum pontificates like he is some big guy. The raw reality is he is just a perpetual novice grade competitor. Arvilla should know better than to get up on stage with no calves. I don't care how many supporters he has that doesn't make his calves even average.
-
Look at the bodyweights of the bodybuilders as they progress throughout their competition years... Jason Cutler never stepped on stage at his massive 265lbs ripped condition at his first, second or third show yet he was doing EVERYTHING in his power to be the best he could be at those shows. The rebound effect... you go from the 5-6% back to the 12-15% to gain NEW muscle... fucks sake I thought you knew about bodybuilding... you can't just keep going from 15%BF...
-
ARVILLA WILL EVEN TELL YOU HE WAS SCARED TO COMPETE BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SIZE IN HIS EARLIER YEARS
that was the exact thought process which led to mass exodus of intramuscular/subcutaneous fat and water leading to a view of what he actually was... not that big afterall...
Not our fault he decided to first compete at that age...
-
My point is quite simple. Arvilla is a big dude. He doesn't need to compete as a novice to impress anyone on Getbig. When he does and comes in depleted it is hardly impressive. Sure he has lots of definition but where did his big muscles go? That is Arvillaism. Others are afflicted, too, so this is a physical syndrome of brutal proportions in reverse.
-
we've seen it time and time again... that "bulky" guy diets down to reveal a less than stellar musculature... oh he was "big" wasn't he? yeah but so is 2/3 of America and not in a good way its just he is in the gym and carries himself in a different way i.e. "grrr strong man" haha where is strength when that 40-50lbs of fat/leverage disappears
-
I couldn't read this whole thread. Too much reading. But in short I see Vince B ragging on Mike A. I gotta tell you Vince you are way off on this one. First off Mike was a big guy. He is over 6'2" I think and was weighing 270 or so. I think he looks great. Not champion great but unreal considering he did it in front of our eyes and in not a long time. One thing Mike is, is someone who is very passionate about bodybuilding. He takes it serious and he proved it by dieting down. And he definately is built like he lifts weights. So he at least lives a bodybuilding lifestyle. And it is even cooler to have someone like his girlfriend to be there and live it with him. MAN I wish I had that.
As much sports as I played and achievements I have had I could never ever diet down to what he did. I give Mike HUGE props for that. The last time anyone mentioned bodybuilding and me in the same sentence was back in 80' or 81' at World's Gym when Joe Gold said I should enter a bodybuilding show and powerlifting meet in the same year cause I could win both and be the first one to do that (not sure if that is true or not, but it was kind of neat he said that). I remember me saying no way and asking him if I could wear OP shorts on stage. Those were the only kind I wore. I weighed about 247 or so and benched 500. And this was 100% drug free and in a t-shirt. When I decided to take up armwrestling cause I couldn't play ball anymore I weighed about 260 or so when I started. SuperHeavyweight class was 220 and above. I knew I couldn't get down to Heavyweight and at 260 I was very small for the Superheavyweight class so I decided to get bigger. My goal was to compete at 300. I was still fairly small but I was pretty quick and I was stronger than most anybody in that class. I lacked the technique though compared to them. Zumwalt was weighing 360 then, Dean was over 600, and most other guys were around 330 or so. Some smaller guys competed but had years of technique behind them.
I never had to diet. My metabolism was pretty high considering the shit I ate and I couldn't gain anymore weight. I trained very very hard and burned calories like hell. But I never could get a six pack. I had a 4 pack for awhile. I never got really vascular except my forearms (nothing like Hazbin, not even close). But I did have them and I had veins in my chest. I never wanted to bodybuild. Never entered my mind. I just could not diet. For almost a year Tony Pearson and Waller and my training partner had me on this tuna and water diet. I did great when I was with them but when I was with my friends I went out all the time. So anyone ragging on Mike is way off.
I am surprised that Basile is doing this. I know alot of you rag on Basile but he had his day too. No matter what you say at the time he was a bodybuilder and he competed. He lived his life as a bodybuilder and even today he owns a huge gym and is still in the industry. To whoever asked to see his machines. I have seen them. he is quite the fabricator and welder. I personally think his machines do the job but I think they might be a little over built. But, then maybe he did it for strength and to have them last longer.
As for Goodrum. He is far from being a bodybuilder. I have never ever met anyone who is as delusional and full of shit as he is. When people constantly make fun of him he comes back as if it was a compliment. He does NOT live any part of his life as a bodybuilder. he does NOT lift weights, he does not diet (he might do a little of this but only because he can't afford to buy food sometimes). He talksso much shit and is caught in lies all the time. For some reason he thinks he impresses people on the internet with his bullshit, but everybody just laughs at him. And a huge bullshit thing is how he thinks he is "in the know" in bodybuilding or anything else. That is the most annoying thing. Anyway, I am done ranting. I am watching Wrong Turn 3on MovieSister and it has me believing Goodrum is indeed an inbreed.
-
Commenting on someone's physique doesn't mean we are bagging that person as an individual. Contests are great things to motivate us to improve. The reality of modern judging is we have to lose a lot more fat than we might like to get ripped. What I am commenting on is the process of getting ripped glutes makes most wannabes look the worse for it. They lose too much size and end up looking like novices. The painted tans make them look even more weird.
Keith is right about dieting and getting ripped. The older you get the more difficult it is. So, I do give credit to Arvilla and even hapless Goodrum for showing up in better shape than was expected. The whole style of bodybuilding at the lower levels has changed and nowadays the ripped guys are not that big anymore. Whether this remains we cannot say but I can't see the standards changing. This ripped look has had a bad effect on the women who now look the worse for it. Add the fake boobs and you have created bodies that are new to the universe.
It remains to be seen if Arvilla and Goodrum will remain lean. Well, Goodrum wasn't close to where Mike was but he was heaps better than the Billy Guns showdown where he presented with an off the street physique of someone who never lifted a weight in his life. The howls from everyone watching were legendary.
-
haha does goodrum have any dignity?
-
At least Getbig gives us a good laugh now and then. Goodrum was a clown that year. He boasted beforehand that he had Munzerlike conditioning! That was beyond delusional. Here he is entertaining the crowd.
-
Melvin was completely devoid of any shame. He got up there like the legend he is and even held his finger up claiming to be number 1. Keith was there but missed this historic occasion.
-
Compare that buffoonery with how he presented at his last show. Some Arvillaism but he looked much better.

Keep putting him down - it only makes you look worse with your obsession of him.
The whole thing reminds me of a slightly twisted, low budget gay version of "The Fan" :-X
-
Vince, I agree with a lot of what you're saying. In Mike's case I do think he looks better bigger. And I'm sure that's how he looks most of the year when not training for a show. But given the standards today, lean Mike will beat Big Mike everyday of the year. Maybe not if you were the judge or if other judges were like you but they're not.
You might not think it is worth it to put your body through the unhealthy agony for a "plastic trophy" and I don't either. That's why I don't compete in bodybuilding. It's just not my thing. But Mike doesn't care about my thing or yours. He is not looking for your approval. He's doing his thing and what he does doesn't effect you personally in the slightest.
The thing is that though Mike marches to a different drummer, I think he's a good guy. And considering the amount of undeserved shit he gets, I think he has his head screwed on straight (though the head itself may be mentally suspect ;D).
I just don't like you singling him out. You say you are not bagging on him personally but you are. What you are (justifiably?) complaining about is not Arvillaism but as someone previously pointed out it's "Everybodyism." And the whole culture of bodybuilding and the direction it's going. Mike doesn't set the standards he just has to abide by them if he wants to win. Things are not like how it was for you forty years ago. It's too bad, really, but it's not Mike's fault.
Mike, like every competitive bodybuilder out there at every level, wants to be as massive as possible while being as lean as possible. If your abs aren't showing, forget it. So you are talking at most 7-9% body fat. It ain't easy. In fact, it's brutally hard.
The dude is working on it, OK? He's doing the best he can with what he was. Give the fuker some props. And maybe you might what to personally put to use some of that great (and I do mean that) training equipment you've put together with your own hands. You are not a fine figure for a man of your age. You are fat and out of shape. You are in your sixties and not much older than Stallone. You have claimed, and I quote your very words, "The body will grow at any age if you train your muscles right."
Prove it.
-
I don't think Vince should be speaking about anybodies physique. People who juiced when they were young and now are fat old girls should not be talking about physiques atall. Period.
-
Vince has developed rather high standards thanks to all the those toned young men he "mentors."
-
These contests don't prove much. I had an older brother who used to bully me when I was a teen. So I vowed to get strong so no one would do that. I succeeded. Where this bodybuilding came from I am not sure but I guess I hoped to attract the ladies. Sort of amusing that mainly homosexuals are impressed with musclemen. Women don't appreciate a good physique on guys they know. Well, that isn't quite right. They are wowed by Manpower dudes and I think I looked better than most of those guys when I was competing. Anyway, we all have our hidden motives for getting big and some for getting up on stage. I was a reasonable athlete so didn't need the attention but forged ahead on my own and eventually won a big title. Well, Mr C is a big title in Canada. Even Paul Dilette failed to win that title.
When I look at the top guys today they amaze me. However, the regimes they ingest is not anything I would even consider. So the chemical nature of bodybuilding has changed and along with it the look that is possible for the professionals. That many aspire to be Mr Olympia is okay. We all need to dream. I would favour competing in natural contests only. No trophy or title is worth dying for or risking one's health. It can be a gradual process to use the agents that make a difference. Look at this forum. Talk about training has just about disappeared and in place we find guys discussing cycles and drugs. That is a real shame. Because of the stain of drugs it makes the whole sport suspect and the titles meaningless.
Most people don't have what it takes to win a big show. That they try hard is fine but sooner or later they will hang up their posing trunks and do something else with their energy.
-
I want you to jerk off on my face and call me pops
Freak.

Vince your posts seem somewhat depressing as of late... my getbig experience is becoming pretty miserable

One is left wondering why Vince is posting like this lately...

Vince is a hero for exposing the unsavoury flotsam of imbeciles on Getbig
-

no you were a mark that all the boys never "smarten- up"
however, because you are a retard, you have this false illusion that you were a worker
you're a "mark"....
how pathetic is it that you were a self admitted "jobber" in a shitty indy fed where everyone is a "superstar"...now that is sad

So what if I was a jobber??? That's just the way it goes in the wrestling business sometimes. I did what I had to do, didn't complain or bitch about doing squash matches, never got anyone injured in matches, and never upstaged any fellow workers.
And no, everyone definitely isn't a superstar. There are only a small handful, the majority of professional wrestlers are jobbers. Why don't you do some research before opening up your big mouth.
Without jobbers there wouldn't be any superstars.
-
Basile..Basile. You cry out about all the people using steroids yet you pumped yourself full of Dianabol and Anavar to win your only title Mr Canada.
I came in my last show shredded and maintaining a good portion of my size and did it drug free unlike your puffy ass. Now hush up because your time is long over

haha, he's like that guy at a party who says something off color a little too loud and instead of just shutting up, he keeps going with it as everybody in the room drifts away.....

Is a "jobber" like in BJ?
-
I don't care what you have to say because I'm NOT in the wrestling business anymore..... ::)
You were never a wrestler only a clown. You are not a bodybuilder but still a clown. ::)

So what if I was a jobber??? That's just the way it goes in the wrestling business sometimes. I did what I had to do, didn't complain or bitch about doing squash matches, never got anyone injured in matches, and never upstaged any fellow workers.
And no, everyone definitely isn't a superstar. There are only a small handful, the majority of professional wrestlers are jobbers. Why don't you do some research before opening up your big mouth.
Without jobbers there wouldn't be any superstars.
In your current fucked up mental state I take it you are taking credit for developing superstars in wrestling. Oh god! Do you have just one that is all I am asking, do you have just one photo of you wrestling. Just one. If not then you are again full of shit. If you do then you are still full of shit (thats comes with being you). And you are still a jobber but now in bodybuilding. You are allowed to enter because you are comedic entertainment when you get on stage. There is not one show you will ever place in front of another person. Not one.
I was a jobber in the wrestling business which is why I never returned to the sport.
Yea that is why you never returned to the sport ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) Post a pic. I bet I have done more in wrestling than you have. Back in 92 or so in Honolulu, I was a celebrity ref in a girls match. They told me at the beginning that the loser would throw me over the ropes. It was awesome. I felt stupid and probably looked like shit doing it, but it was fun. I remember jumping down on the ring mat to count to three and then the loser girl stood up and pushed me then flung me and I had to kind of jump over the ropes. It was fun. But something I couldn't do regularly. back n 87' or so Diamond Dallas Page wanted me to go to the WWF with him as my coach. I said no and he later became a huge star. It was kind of cool we hooked back up several months ago on Facebook. He is doing great in LA with his company YRG.

Why this isn't obvious to anyone who has every tried to diet down to single digits is beyond me.
Thankyou, whoever invented this thread clearly has never diet. Epically revealing that they know dick about shit!

Why do people say that Vince is a Pedo? This is a serious allegation to make. He seems like a good bloke to me.
Is he Australia's answer to Alasdair Mackenzie of Netmedia Business Solutions ? At least Alasdair and his friend Jimmy Saville are totally honest about their fondness for young men but what has Vince done to deserve this tarnish?
I think it was because there was pictures of him "teaching" some girl athletics and no one else was around and it was a weird scene with hugs and closeness etc... then went private and eventually left the account leaving room for allegations of underage mishaps to follow...

Goodrum is crossing the line in his threats. He shouldn't turn against his team. I am responsible for promoting Melvin on Getbig. The deal is I keep posting photos to keep him in the limelight. His friends and significant others are out of bounds on this forum which is fair enough.
I am innocent of all charges. The Flotsam stoop to use any means to effect a meltdown. Thus, the insults appear. When I don't react to such name-calling the lads shake their heads and suggest I am long-winded. I would never have thought that.
Can these wannabes imagine what I could impart that would assist them in having an amazing outlook in life from all my experience. Look around Getbig, where are the other bodybuilding champs? Not many here and none from the good old days since Jimmy Thompson ran his stories here and was silenced.

he is known for that remember when he posted pictures and video of Derek Anthony's questionable career choices to his mother who was in fact very ill...
even on getbig I think attacking family is out of line
-
Well, hapless Melvin does get tarred and feathered regularly on Getbig. So I guess he lashes out to get even.
I give credit where it is due. He looked improved at his last contest but lost a lot of size in the process like Arvilla. You would hardly think he used to be the huge dude beside the pool.
-
Vince Basile is a genius who has invented many things and flotsam like you should listen to a genius.
Pure gold. You're killing me over here. ;D
-
The truth is Goodrum is pure gold. Arvilla is just another wannabe compared to our internet legend.

he looks decent in that most muscular....still gayer than three naked guys in a telephone booth

Fair Dink-um.
I think this would be a good time for you to turn this thread positive. How about educating us flotsam with some of your theories on hypertrophy? And since Mike and Melvin are determined to continue competing as natural bodybuilders, what would you suggest to them to help them look better on stage?

Vince was lured purely by his lust for locker room cock.
