Title: Australian Pro GP X - Arrivals
Post by: Tony Doherty on March 09, 2010, 08:53:22 PM
The pros have started to arrive. So far we have Rusty Jeffers, Michael Kefalianos, Roelly Winklaar and Fadi Zaazaa.

It is starting to heat up and by Friday we will have 16 pros from about 8 different countries.

The lineup will, without a doubt be the best lineup ever in the history of Australian bodybuilding.

If you live in Melbourne, or can get here, then fire up and support the greatest show on earth!

There will be plenty of tickets on the door,

Prejuging 12 noon, pros on first, then Gaspari seminar, All Staes and King of the Bench

Finals 7PM.

You know Matt, it is funny you noticed that. As soon as Roelly arrived today I took him into the gym and showed him some black and white posters of Sonny. It is uncanny how much he reminds me of him, even the mannerisms are similar.

I think Roelly will be a future superstar, maybe the next big thing.

Winklar looks better than I would have thought. He also fared better at the AC than I would have thought by beating Hide and Melvin. The back shot oif his is the best I've seen him look but he definitely needs more density. he could seriously create some damage with extra definition, separation. That guy on the first pic on the other hand has great conditioning but he needs better triceps.

Look at how great Winklaar is. I wasn't blind when I picked him for top 3 at the Arnold. Hope the Aussie judges aren't as blind as the ones at the Arnold last weekend. Guys on discussion boards all figure they are experts but most go along with what others are saying. Roelly doesn't have to pay his dues because he already is huge and ripped. Look at the guy! Who wouldn't want to have a physique like that? He has to relax more while posing and not pull faces where he is trying too hard.

how do the pros get their gear into australia?  that place has worse customs than the us.

I've been through aussie customs a lot of times and I really think they have the "best" customs in the world .. but still getting a 10cc vial through is still very easy.

Besides that I'm pretty sure that most of the pros are well connected to bodybuilders from all parts of the world and they plan ahead for stuff like that .. and even if not I think it would be quite easy to get some gear in a gym like Dohertys esp. as a pro.

The problem Wes is that 2nd pic. Mike is structural fucked up. He has small T Rex arms, a wide, wide waist (that shit looks weird as fuck), and is oddly put together, like he is a Greek Paco. He has great wheels, back and conditioning. But he has no flow.

Im sorry but a couple of pics showing him in his best shots does't make up for his weak back and shallow chest :-\

A) Looks like your comment backfired on you big time there MattT-boy.

B) I find it extremely amusing that YOU of all people make this comment, yet usually neglect to show your legs in a majority of your photos because you know they're your weak point. You usually make up a few excuses that you're busting your ass trying to bring them up or whatever...

Dex has never looked "huge' in the sense of a Ronnie Coleman or Dorian Yates. Dex is shape and symmetry is obviously his main attribute but the man is not small by any means.

Mass with class man. Dex's physique is the best out there taking everything into consideration. Mass, conditioning, structure/asthetics, shape, symmetry. You can't find any weak points on the man, except his calves.

Agreed. At that day. He was the winner and Mr.O. That is the truth.
But its a sad truth for me.

He looks great...but he looks like he did 10 years ago.  Show some changes.  Get some calves.  and a personality.  And quit begging the crowd to applaud, hit a pose or two instead of walking around the stage in slow motion.

This was a good show, i was there, the greek dude looked on point, kai was the fan favourite.
Atmosphere was great, no dickheads, just many fans showing support from overseas and interstate, got to meet Tony doherty and the othe pro's, but had my sights set on the promotion girl from one of the booths, a hardbody asian.

Went to Brunswick and trained at tony's gym, again it was filled with pro's and the gym looked fantastic.

Yes but with taxation, hiring the auditorium, lights & sound, athlete expenses (flights, food, tanning etc.), promotion and a myriad of other expenses it isn't so great.

Its obvious Tony is not doing it for a nice cash day.

Tanning is just another expense $200 per competitor

The paying people has a variety of packages to choose from:
"Prejudging Only $40
Finals only $99
All Day Pass $135
VIP $299"

That's why I rounded it out at $60 because you have cheaper but mostly more expensive tickets.$200 for tanning per person I thought a guy with a tanning lotion sponsored it and gave away FREE tan.

Why are you so concerned with the Australian Tax Office and this event?  Isn't the IFBB a not for profit organisation?

Consider the sanction fees that Tony would have to pay the IFBB to hold an IFBB pro league event too... there really isn't "a lot of non tax bucks" in the end...

The show cost AU$120000 to put on.
It takes 3 months of my life, I dont see my wife and kids for the last month because I work from 6AM to 10PM every day, the last week is 5AM till Midnight. That is withoout getting an hourly rate or a definite pay day.
I have to put this all up front to make it work. Do the maths or run a show yourself if it is so easy and so profitable.
If it does fail, the buck stops with me. Some years I have done my nuts.

I was not questioning his prior commitment to bodybuilding competition. I was intimating that you don't really have a clue as to his reasoning for ending his competitive career. In fact his prior status as a competitor probably explains why he does have such a unique connection with the sport. I see nothing but positivity coming from the work of Tony Doherty... I see nothing but negativity from yourself, Little John.

Just goes to show not all here know too much ask him for yourself.
You previously questioned the getbig collective about their general knowledge of bodybuilding. You made reference to Tim Belknap... I knew exactly who he was/what he did... Scram punk!

Apparently the athletes arrived in Aus after a 30 hour flight and there was no one at the airport to pick them up.

Many were forced to Hitch hike half way across the country to  Doherty's 24/7 gym.

Tony had cooked up a load of salty fast food which clearly wasn't appropriate for a contest ready bodybuilder so many went hungry for their first night in aus.

Nobody could get in a decent workout because the gym was falling apart

Nobody was allowed to sell their own merchandise..... All the athletes could sell was Doherty 24/7 gym T-Shirts. They took 10 cents for every shirt sold
