he has milos fooled over on milos' forum.
vince basile, why is your status "ifbb pro" on there?
-
I think he was back in 1936 when he won Mr. Canada
-
That old fart is over there bullshitting now is he?
THE BEEF
-
I think he was back in 1936 when he won Mr. Canada
The last year the title was sponsored by The Hudson's Bay Company, I believe.
-
He is planning a comeback this year at the Arnold
-
Now where is Goatboy? He usually contributes to this sort of quality thread.
-
in timeout
-

Better than 90% of getbig
Post up a few, Vince

seriously though, without dodging the question, how did you fool milos into giving you ifbb pro status on his forum?
are you an ifbb pro?
-
LOL. I didn't do anything. I joined and that is what they gave me. In the old days if you owned a gym you were considered a professional bodybuilder. If anyone owns a gym they will know it isn't easy to find the time to train. Bill Pearl and Reg Park solved that problem by training early in the morning before the members arrived. I taught high school all day then ran the gym until 9pm. I worked out afterwards. Running a gym kills the motivation to do heavy training. You are always talking to people and doing repairs around the gym. If my career happened today I would be enterring only natural shows. No thanks to the chemical circus. Pros are dropping out like flies.

bring back these posing trunks....the thong has killed this sport....

Maybe black trunks rather than lilac ones though.

I cant beleive goodrum has the gall(spelling?) to even question you vince , you look dam impressive.
To me the guys from that era of the late 60s through to the early 80s are what BB was all about.

Nice shot Basile, Goodrum will say he would have beat you hsd he been back in those times.

Why? You werent natural THEN

Why? You werent natural THEN
Yea, and he won his bumfuck Mr Canada title popping Dianabol like tic tacs. Vince Basile is one of the biggest hypocrites when it comes to steroids. If he's so disgusted with it, he should renounce his "precious".
-
Why? You werent natural THEN
I think he found a pharmacy where he got his slin and gear legally though
I hear some other pro's claim this too
-
All juiced up and looks like a natural. LOL

You can't win on Getbig. At least I came clean about Dianabol. 2 tablets a day for a couple of months. That was it. The lads here say that wouldn't have done much. I got stronger and my pecs got a bit bigger. A steroid doctor, MW, saw me in Vancouver in the summer of 1970 and said I could be Mr Universe within 6 months with Deca Durabolin. I was more interested if he could help me clear my skin. So I never did the Deca like the big guys who won the major titles in the 1970s. Good thing I came to Australia and not California because who knows what would have happened there with that mentality and motivation. BTW that good doctor was gay. No thanks. Made me wonder how many guys he helped! He yapped on about so and so and so and so and so and so being gay or at least participating in sex with gays. He named many of the top guys in LA and also some of the older guys who ran bodybuilding. There you are. I won't repeat what he said but he sure sounded like he had anecdotal experience.
Gotta laugh at Bob Chick bagging me. Well, come on appointed athletes rep, what does 2 Dianabol tablets for 2 months do for a physique? Would it be sufficient to win a masters pro.
Goodrum? The dickhead mixed up some vet brew in his bathtub (his own admission) and got some side effects. No wait, he explained he had that gyno since adolescence. Well, sometimes the tissue does swell there in males while maturing. I don't think it would be permanent or as pronounced as displayed by Vince G CSN MFT.

You had a very good physique Basile...Props...

Dont know, Basile...but it did more than the guys NOT taking it. As for your "2 Dball for a few months" bullshit...I aint buying it, and neither is anyone else.

vince b is the man. remember it's not a lie if you believe it.

vb in his prime smoked everyone here

Vince B fathered Vince Neil
He was was an astronaut

Why would someone that is nothing more than a sad sack of bloated adipose tissue, with fake online "degrees" even bother trying to criticize a National Champion?
You may quite possibly be the most delusional person on the interwebs.

Fact is that you can't complain about bodybuilders taking steroids when you were taking steroids to win a bodybuilding title. Basile's National Championship is highly disputed as there are no accurate records of who he actually competed against in his division or etc. If it was just 3 or 4 people, I would hardly quantify that as a National Championship.
And for your information, I'm in great shape as I have a personal website and my PT certifications and diplomas are valid and I didn't get them online but then again, I'm stated and shown all of my forms a zillion times.

Now all we need is Ron to do the same on this board

"Highly disputed"....oh for chrissakes, you're the only one disputing anything and you're a festering pile of nobody. The fact is, he is a National Champion, end of story. The fact that you "hardly quantify" it means nothing - you wouldn't know a Championship if it fell on your bitch tits. Who cares if he beat 3, 4 or 304 other contestants? It's not his job to round up competitors. In your delusional world Segio Oliva never won the Olympia in 1968 because he had no other competitors oppose him.
So let's add a little reality to your post. You are not in great shape, in fact you may be the worst adult male "competing bodybuilder" in the entire U.S. Everyone in the developed world has a website. Your PT Certs and diplomas are fake and have the same value as toilet paper.
-
Vince Basile is objective and subjective at the same time. He can exhaust a topic without saying anything. Imagine if you could do the same.
shouldn't we all?

Qft..the fact is goodrum "claims" Vince B was popping Dball like tic tacs , who cares if he was or wasnt , goodrum couldnt get anywhere near Basiles best even with the help of gear , he will remain a steaming pile of shit that everyone thinks is a joke and that is the 100 % truth.

Melvin and Bob are on a mission to dismiss me any way they can. So they cling to the notion that I won Mr Canada because I was the only competitor. What a load of rubbish. What is true is because it was held in Vancouver for the first time only one competitor from Quebec represented Eastern Canada. No one was from Toronto. So, yes, it was a much depleted lineup but you can win only if you show up. Very few BC guys enterred early Mr Canada contests because of the distance to Quebec where they were usually held because Ben Weider lived there.
Walter Milner and John Mikl who placed 4th and 5th went on to win Mr Canada later on. Philippe Alfani from Montreal came 3rd and Ken Rivard from Vancouver was 2nd. There were 13 judges including Chuck Sipes. I got 8 out of the 13 votes for first so Ken could easily have won that day. I won best poser and best legs and Ken won best arms, back and chest. Walter won best abs and most muscular. We called him cuts in those days. He was from Moosehorn, Manitoba. He died from a fall as a window cleaner. What a great guy he was. There was also a Mr Pacific Northwest Contest that day for people from Alaska, BC, Washington and Oregon. We didn't get many competing so I won that easily. That was a good day for me. You can only imagine the envy that hapless Melvin Goodrum has for anyone who won a national title. Since I bag him regularly on Getbig he is keen to retaliate so questions my victory and suggests I was a heavy drug user. Ha. Even Bob doubts that I took as little as I did. What the hell would that stooge know? Guys like him think they know everything but end up stooges for others who really run bodybuilding. I wouldn't let him sell tickets for a chook raffle in a pub!
-
Just for Melvin re those trophies. From the left was 2nd place in the Canadian arm wrestling championships, then best poser, Mr Canada, Mr Pacific Northwest and the statue for best legs. The medal was for being first in the tall class in the Mr Canada. That pretty much is the best day I ever had in bodybuilding.
-
Vince was the reason Rush wrote "Bastille Day"
-
Here is one of the few photos I have from the contest during my posing routine. Photo taken by Ed Basile, my younger brother.

I dont know Goodrum looks like Basile might have you beat just judging the pics.
-
Not bad at all. I didn't realize you were...uhhhhh... "olderer"
-
Two dballs a day? No wonder you like Lee Priest so much, you guys are on the same stack.

Depleted lineup.... ::) There were only 5 people there at the show. Come on Basile, beating 4 people hardly qualifies for a National Championship compared to Chick who had to beat over 200 people for 1 of the 2 pro cards at the NPC USA to which he won the OVERALL.
Point being, your 1970 Mr Canada is a popcorn title...no real competition whatsoever.

If you won best legs, I don't see how. Those legs need to be thrown on a plate with a biscuit and cole slaw.
Nowadays you have to have cuts and striations in your quads

I am speechless! Where is Keith?

I believe both Arnold and Sergio won Olympias without any other entrants.
What say you of their achievements, Vince?
-
Please tell me this is the "Before" picture in one of those "Before and After" ads....
Epic 14 year old boy genetics. Looks like you've never touched a weight in your life.

vince don't even bother arguing with these internet tough guys, just tell them to post pics of themselves and you'll see how many will get posted. barely anyone . remember internet tough guys judge not lest thou be judged, that's from the bible.

Fact is monkey is that you are a "last place" person in everything you do. You have never and will never ever place highewr than last place in any event you enter. Now that is a FACT. You are the most delusional dipshit on the internet and everyone agrees with that and that is a FACT. Who do you think you impress with the bullshit that comes out from those inner-tube lips. Is Queer Vissy that ignorant to believe you. You are a joke and notr one person supports your bullshit. you are a joke and that to is a FACT. And now go ahead and call me fat. But no matter what I am a million times more accomplished than you ever will be financially and competively. Without the internet where you can bullshit some people you would be just another waste of air. Basile blows you away in every aspect of bodybuilding. And who cares what he took. Only a dipshit like you would believe he took mass doses of anything. Even your piece of shit body you said you took drugs before. And you look like shit with no muscle. Go kill yourself so we have something to laugh about besides your delusionality
I won't call you fat. You're just "cargo ship challenged".... ;D

"inner-tube lips"?
Don't know where he came up with that but if Jabba the Gut keeps it up, Ron will ban his account like he did his other account "Onlyme".
-
Gosh, imagine the nerve of Melvin Goodrum to post his photo in a thread about me? To tell the truth I always have a problem about where to file photos of this dude. I keep him under 'bodybuilding' but that is only for convenience.
I have campaigned for Ron to give Melvin his blue stars for competing but I guess even Ron has standards. Come to think about it, I don't have those damn stars, either.
Everyone is entitled to comment about contests and competitors. However, there is a sense in which it helps if you have paid your dues. I doubt Melvin has the credentials to bag anyone else out there who competes. That doesn't stop him from putting down others. He has to realize that the Mr Canada contest that I won was 40 years ago this year. He wasn't even born then. I look at the photos and the standard wasn't that high but it still wasn't easy to win. Ken Rivard had an awesome upper body. I mean, what would Melvin know?
Here is a photo of Ken winning best back during the 1970 Mr Canada. He won best back, chest and arms. I got best legs and best poser. Walter won best abs and most muscular.
-
Here is a photo Ed took of the Most Muscular contest won by Walter Milner. Walter and John went on to win Mr Canada in the early 70s. Ken disappeared. Ken was a cocky fellow and a bit of a tough guy. A few months before the contest he asked if I was enterring the contest and I replied, "I am not enterring, I am going to win it!" He laughed in my face. That was the motivation I needed. He was on the gear and was huge. That was when I asked Roz to get me some Dianabol. I vowed to give this a good showing and I kept my tracksuit on at Western Gym so nobody could see how I looked. I even went to Portland before the contest to train at Sam Loprinzi's gym because he had a great suntan machine there. I recall doing a few reps with 115 dumbbells in the seated incline. I had no trouble cleaning them. Ah, the good old days.
Look at Ken Rivard. He had no clue about how to pose effectively and that cost him the title. Also, he showed up with no tan. In those days we put some iodine in babyoil to add a bit of colour to our skin. Ken was so sure he was the winner that he didn't bother. Yes, some people booed when he didn't win but there you are. There were 13 judges who were very experienced in bodybuilding. I was pleased I received the vote of Chuck Sipes.

The only thing in question is how competitive was the 1970 Mr Canada and looking in the background, not that much. There's even a guy in there not even wearing posing trunks. Its clearly obvious that this show is on par with a local bodybuilding show and not even close to the 200 NPC USA in which you bag Bob Chick for when there were over 200 people competing.
As far as this guy is concerned, yes he has a great back but absolutely no calves or legs whatsoever. Obviously popping some juice

You criticize steroids being used in the IFBB today when these guys are obviously dropping some juice??? Please Vince, these picture only prove how hypocritical you are.
-
What a goose you are, Melvin. You don't look great yet bag guys from 40 years ago.
Here are the 1970 Mr Pacific Northwest results. Alaska, BC, Wash, and Oregon were elegible. All those from Vancouver could enter but Ken decided to compete only in the Mr Canada contest.

Basile, no one didn't have to do a National Qualfier to compete. I'm sorry but shows in the US in 1970 had much better competitor and a higher level of competition. Its prob the reason why the 1970 Mr Canada wasn't a pro qualifier.
My problem is that you're spinning it as a more difficult show than it really was.
-

Melvin, you really don't have a clue about steroids. I am against the amount of drugs needed to compete at the professional level today. That level far exceeds anything I would have used in the past. Several
'experts' here state there is no way 2 Dianabol/day is all I used. Well, what can I say but they don't know what they are talking about. You have to remember that anabolic steroids were thought to be dangerous in those days and doctors thought they could trigger cancer in humans. So no one took those drugs lightly or for very long. Most of the guys in the lineup were clean.
The guy in the long pants was Lenny Marriott. He was a polio victim but competed, anyway, and got an encouragement award. Good for Lenny. He trained at Western Gym with the big lads and had a lot of trouble getting down the stairs to the basement gym. It was literally beside the furnace room! That was still a great place to train.

Yes a lot of guys were clean in that show obviously....except that you weren't. Good job winning a title because others didn't juice..... ::)
I'm off to bed, can't hear this crap anymore
-
Melvin, you need a history lesson. Joe and Ben Weider were Canadians living in Montreal. From their early days publishing magazines they often featured Mr Canada winners in their magazines. So winning that title was significant in those days. The Brunet brothers, Leo Robert, John Charles St Mars and other champions were featured in Weider magazines.
We have no idea why only Philippe Alfani was the only guy from Quebec and Ontario. There is no doubt there were probably guys who might have been better. However, that is irrelevant because they didn't show up to compete. Jim Forsythe, who won the Arm Wrestling championships for Canada at the contest, used to ask, "Where were the lumberjacks from Quebec and elsewhere?" Well, if they don't show up then the title can't go to them. Winning the title doesn't mean you have the best physique in the country but are the best of those who competed. Ditto for arm wrestling.
Let us put this discussion into some perspective. How would you have done in the lineup? You wouldn't have placed. End of story.
-
I swear Melvin Goodrum is a dickhead. It wasn't long ago that he and that equally intelligent stooge, Bob Chick, were claiming that I won the Mr Canada title because no one else showed up. What dunces. Where is the apology for being wrong, huh, Melvin? Bob C never apologizes but blames others for being mistaken.
-
Chuck Sipes was the guest poser. He also put on a strongman display where he bent a steel spike and a steel bar. He had the announcer read out some hype while he was doing his feats. He bent a 6 inch nail by wrapping a small towel around it. Then presto, one bend and it was U-shaped. He then tossed the spike to the audience where it was passed around. Several of us went out and bought steel nails to see how we could go. The 6 inch nail was fairly easy but in fairness to Chuck, he bent it much quicker than any of us. I was able to bend a 7 inch nail after some practice.
-
Chuck weighed about 210 that day. Look at the forearm on Chuck! He really impressed the fans in Vancouver. We had a party at my place later that Chuck attended. Later in the evening he decided to do 100 pushups. Apparently he always did them before retiring. It was a hoot to watch the wannabes join Chuck on the floor doing pushups. Some gal had the hots for Chuck at the party but he was supposed to be married and religious so nothing happened....that I know of! He was a really decent man and a pity he committed suicide many years ago.
-
Didnt he use to bend coins between his fingers to?
-
Vince Basile... you got my vote. To do what you did back then can't really be compared to what is done today. If you had back then what knowledge and guidance we had today, you may have been even better.
This whole arguement is like Tom Cruise arguing with Sean Connery.
It really is pointless.
The pictures and the timeline speak for themselves. Goodrum is, and always will be delusional. Why he posts pix of himself is beyond my understanding.
I have far surpassed (as many here have) his level of "conditioning" (if you will) and his size; yet you do not see pictures of me plastered all over every thread saying "look at me, look at me!" Many of us have surpassed his "credentials" yet we do not feel it necessary to plaster them all over the internet either.
Take us back 40 years. Most of us cannot even comprehend. Me? I was a baby back then. Bashing on you would be like bashing on my father. Disrespectful.
BTW, I'm not kissing your ass, I'm just having a laugh at all the foolishness and lack of appropriate thought-processing in this thread.
-
Vince Basile - you look great in those pics and I don't think anyone here really gives a crap if you were taking 2 dball/day! Thanks for the nostalgia - its good to see how bodybuilding used to be!

The lads on Getbig usually see through the delusional and thank goodness for that. Guys like Melvin are still good to have around for a laugh. It is because they are sooooo serious that is a hoot.
Here is the article published in Muscle Builder around 1970. Bob should shake his sorry head but I guess his toupee might fall off! LOL. What does he know about bodybuilding history?
Ray Beck didn't write that article but I did. I put Ray's name there so I wouldn't sound like a big head. I wasn't paid for the article or the photos which cost me something. Afterwards, I never wrote any articles or sent photos to Weider again. I took heaps of photos of the Mr Olympia in Sydney but never sent any to Joe. I even told Joe I had photos when I talked to him on the harbour cruise after the Olympia in 1980. He told me to send him the contacts. To you guys that means thumbnails but on paper.
I haven't got all the photos that are featured in the article because they weren't returned to me. You can see Philippe Alfani who came third. Also, Big Jim Forsythe who won the arm wrestling. I had to lose 20 pounds to compete at 190 pounds. I was beating Jim at arm wrestling when I was 210. He twisted the table around to give himself an advantage. Truth be told I was depleted from dieting and also got worn out by a junior in the semi finals. That kid was strong. His dad invented the arm wrestling trainer. Neil Lewis.

If you won best legs, I don't see how. Those legs need to be thrown on a plate with a biscuit and cole slaw.
Nowadays you have to have cuts and striations in your quads
hahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahaha you would have still placed last in the conterst 40 years ago that Basile won. Real question Goodrum, are you retarded or have some kind of mental issue. Whaty kind of drugs are you on and how long have you been going to the doctor. I mean you must be one hell of a case study.
-
Hey, Keith, we bag Goodrum but for good reason. Maybe we should ease off a bit because he really is delusional. When he posted his photos in this thread I thought WTF is this. The guy has no shame but maybe he gets told he looks great so that is what he thinks about himself. I mean, are you and I stopping him from winning even a local novice contest?
-
He will never ever ever win a contest or even take top 3 unless there are only 3 entrants. He is perennial loser. I just can't see how his small brain works. No matter how many people tell him he looks like shit he still thinks he looks great. he is the only one "in his world". It is almost like he is autistic or retarded. He is definitely mentally disturbed. One of the most fucked up people on the internet and in real life. I find it so funny how he thinks he knows so much about everything yet he is always outed for being full of shit.
-
Ken Rivard was a loner. I don't know his background but I used to hang around English Bay Beach in Vancouver and Ken was there occasionally. I knew him from the gym so we were mates. Somehow he turned on me before the Mr Canada and acted rather cocky and ruthless. I would have helped him with his posing but he dismissed me. Things like that got to me and inside I wanted to show him. I told him to train his legs and work on his posing. That fell on deaf ears. When you look at his photo you see the guy was clearly huge and had good genes. The potential was there to be Mr Universe easily. However, like many other things in life it isn't always about potential but what you do with what you have. Sometimes lesser guys with more motivation succeed whereas the gifted don't.

that was a good one
vince you might be an old fella but you can def "hang" with the getbiggers here

Here is another shot taken after winning the Mr Canada contest. The photographer had no experience shooting physiques so most of these images aren't quite right. I am posting it here, anyway. There weren't many from the contest worth buying. In 1980 and 1987 I found a guy who bought the original contest negatives but it wasn't worth his while to try to find them for me. The angle isn't right for this pose.

wow he had some great thickness in his back...
why didn't he rid himself of body hair? I thought that was customary to physique display particularly for contests
-
Ken had some acne on his back. As far as shaving body hair in those days many thought it was a sissy thing to do. Ken wasn't a pretty boy and didn't do anything like that. He didn't think posing was important so didn't practice. He looked like a novice and that helped me win because I practiced daily doing my routine. In those days, you didn't get help from others so had to get poses from magazines and go from there. We weren't allowed to pose to music at the contests. Things have changed today and even schoolboys have music and good routines.

What I find funny is that you still go on pretending to be someone that you are not....
Keith D. Jones the man that stole money from supposed friends and never returns phone calls or emails... Maybe I should take some of these emails and post them on Getbig for everyone to see....

For a socialist, Tim's site is pretty accurate, but who did you compete against?

BTW, why does that "Mr. Canada" sign look like a ransom note?
-
Basile was a fkng bodybuilder before it was popular and before we even knew WTF it was... He was a pioneer.
We have no bashing rights. Enough said.

I have been in touch with Tim Foggerty and will update the info he has for the Mr Canada 1970 and Mr Pacific Northwest 1970. I will provide him with photos as well.
Tim needs help from others to get information and sometimes that is difficult to acquire about contests held decades ago.
Ray Beck didn't have much money to promote the contest properly and I think he lost money on the show. Heck, he had to pay the IFBB a big fee, in those days, just to stage the contest. Roz and I helped Ray
with the contest and I was working for Ray at the time in one of his gyms. Would you believe he asked me to select the judges! That wasn't easy. I had to find guys who were independent, honest and who had integrity. I picked two guys I knew well. One of them voted for me and the other didn't. That was fine by me because the contest was close. I tried to get 15 judges but fell short. Most were ex local champions or guys with long experience training.
We can imagine what Goodrum will say about this! Too bad, it is all water under the bridge. Who knows what happened in other contests out there. The contest wasn't fixed but it wasn't right that a competitor picked the judges. That is Ray Beck's fault but he knew I would do the right thing and get guys who were independent and who didn't show any bias.
Too bad, Goodrum, I am not giving the trophy back! I am 100% honest about things I say about bodybuilding, contests, individuals, and gym equipment. Period.
We even went to pick the trophies and arrange for the engravings. We had the trophies at our place before the show and I had fun holding the Mr Canada trophy and having a photo taken. At the time we didn't know who was coming from back east so there was no way I had a clue about the outcome. It was a surprise at night when I was announced the winner.
-
I think I helped set up the lighting for the stage. I also went around putting up posters for the contest. After I won, Ray took me and my trophy to the Vancouver Sun. They weren't interested. Here I was the first guy from outside of Eastern Canada to win that title and the paper turned me away. How embarrassing. Ray took out an advertisement in the paper to announce my win. He mentioned that I had a degree from university but got the university wrong. I graduated from UBC, not Simon Fraser. I did go to Simon Fraser in 1970 while working towards my masters degree in philosophy. That degree had to wait until 1989 when I earned a MEd from Sydney University. It took me 13 years part time because I taught high school, ran my gym, then started building gym equipment in 1982.
I retired from teaching in 1980 and opened a factory making gym equipment in 1982. I still design and build our gym equipment. Mostly I do repairs and modifications nowadays.
Things haven't changed much in the 40 years since then. Bodybuilding still doesn't get the attention it deserves.

One more photo from the contest. Here are the top 3 in the tall class at the Mr Canada. Joe Hing from Fiji was impressive as was John Mikl who was still a teenager. We all look a bit narrow in that photo because it was taken from below us. When you look at the top guys today you can't appreciate how really huge they are until you stand close to them.
Joe Hing on the left and John Mikl on the right.

Chuck Sipes was the guest poser. He also put on a strongman display where he bent a steel spike and a steel bar. He had the announcer read out some hype while he was doing his feats. He bent a 6 inch nail by wrapping a small towel around it. Then presto, one bend and it was U-shaped. He then tossed the spike to the audience where it was passed around. Several of us went out and bought steel nails to see how we could go. The 6 inch nail was fairly easy but in fairness to Chuck, he bent it much quicker than any of us. I was able to bend a 7 inch nail after some practice.
Awesome Rare shot Vince of the Great Chuck Spies thank-you for sharing that picture, he was one of the early Greats of muscularity , strength and power along with Reg Park

yes those last couple of lines are correct absolutely right Vince.

muscle memory has plenty of wrong info...
it says lee priest won the ifbb overall mr australia in 1989 and 1990 when he did no such thing... he only won his class in 1990.
