Title: I got robbed. politics at its worst.
Post by: nzmusclemonster on January 20, 2006, 05:13:32 PM
http://www.gofigure.co.nz/HunkVote-NabbaHunks.htm

i came third in the juniors about half way down the page.
the guy that beat me was a stick insect but had big guys applying his tan and after the show was very cosy with the judges.

would like to hear if you think i am just in being disgusted with the decision...

in the federation rule they say they will test out of season but they never do. its a joke down here there are a lot of passionate bodybuilders but the people running the federations have no clue at all. all old school guys

they have no clue i dont think they even know what they are doing. there was a world class guy - justin rhys, he competed in the pro show that was here a few years back. he was the best bodybuilder in nz in the last decade, maybe ever from nz. now hes in jail rotting away for the next 15yrs because customs kept busting his ass.

Dude lets keep the facts straight here , Justin got busted for gallons of GHB not steriods, the max penality down there for gear importation is a $500-00 fine , and what about BJ Johns and the famous Marc Rainbow, and Moe Moussawi and wasnt that huge F@#KER John Davies from NZ as well ???

But didnt Moe get his arse handed to him by the IFBB when he failed the drug test and make all the national news papers ??

yeah but justin was into the party scene as well and got busted for dealing class a drugs, angel dust and shit like that.

never liked marc rainbows shape, sure he was muscular but aestectially not that appealing.

and yes john davis would hand justin his ass on a plate

moe gut screwed again by the federation, they tested him hardout and eventually canned his ass, disqualifying him and taking away his national title and renegging on the pro card they said they would give him.

so he went and got his pro card in lebanon

And I gotta disagree on Rainbow he was beautifully balanced !!!

And Justin is a serious big dude is well isnt he ???

And you said there was no gear down there !!

the guys running the federation all have their heads up their asses. we are struggling for crowd numbers down here so they think if they try and portray this clean natural image that that will get the crowds coming in. BUT THE PEOPLE WANT TO SEE FREAKS!!

justins dad is a chemist so go figure....

gear is down here but if you use you will get busted no doubt about it.

Anyway about this thread,

Making public declarations about this always incites contempt in a lot of people's minds. 

Not in mine, because I am the best and most intelligent individual walking this planet.. but you can see from 240's post that he is angling for this already.

No offense but all you guy's look like skinned rabbits and that over tanned/make -up does nothing for anyone. Maybe it's the lighting, makes a big difference. It almost looks like some gay event in Kiwi land. I'm sure someone in these shows has to come in at 230 and totally ripped.  Any native NZ'ers or my Samoan brother's enter these contest? Might want to cruise some of the local pubs and recuite some of  those Polynesian brothers. Other than that you have nothing to complain about unless you can come in next year at that 230  and totally ripped.

yes i agree with you and hrdcor
but big justin isnt in jail as of yet
he is still on the outside and training very hard
go to his website site  bigkiwi.co.nz
and as long as the current nzfbb president is there i will not compete
in the nzfbb
unless you are good mates with him you dont get anywhere
a friend of mine was invited to compete in a pro quilifer in austraila
and when he ask the presdent he said no way you have to compete here first and then we will see if you can go or not
i think if you want to pay your own way and are invited you should be able to compete
and on the q of juice if you know where to go you can get it

I really don't know why you are saying this, he is after all talking to me and I was making constructive comments to you.  Complaining about placings and calling the judges gay won't change anything for the better, infact if anything it will ostracise you further.

Now if you want bodybuilding opinions then really we're going to need more comparison pics than what you posted.  Honestly if you'd posted pure comparisons pose for pose (and I'm not suggesting that that is atall possible all the time) then you would have got some decent opinions.

Personally I would never make definite statements about the situation until I saw more comparisons.  It does look like you were beaten by a stick but hey all you can do is come back better or not turn up.

but ive come to realise how frustrating our sport can be. if a few pencil neck judges say another guy is better than you you just have to take it. there is nothing you can do about it and at the moment that really isnt sitting well with me.

These guys here are Ruthless, but I gotta tell you , they are Honest and speak there mind, none of that PC shit you get back home, and allot of them are actually very knowledgeable and clued up in the sport , and some of them  have access to all the goings on ------ thats why I love em so much , so at least here you get a real take on whats happening.

So based on the above , you did get ripped off(judging by the photos)and the judges should owe you a explanation , but that probably wont happen so f@#K EM turn up next year twice as big and say , hey toss pots JUDGE THIS, and make sure your first !!!

You can't wait to be awarded first place.

You have to TAKE first place!

You weren't handed a wife, a car, a house- you worked hard and TOOK them.

Do the same onstage.  You think they would have ever placed Arnold second once he was Mr O?  Nope.  He TOOK first place every year.   Don't whine on message board.  Work on your stage presence.  They prob had it and you didn't.

ALso, get a website, get some exposure, and grow your fan base.

appreciate the advice, many thanx

I have spent the better part of 12 years trying to help people in this sport and if you cant get the same dedication and support from the people who run the sport no wonder it is dying in the arse, and the NZ IFBB are in huge financial shit !!!!

What Tossers, at least they could have shown some respect and replyed , after all it is your memeber ship fee that pays fore them to be flown around the country and put up in hotels and feed lovely meals !!! 

The federations better start to learn that "No Bodybuilders " means no shows . No Shows" means no money------ before some elese comes along and starts there own SHOWS , with better offerings !!!!!

At the end of the day BB is judged by people's opinions, and there is always going to be unhappy competitors.  The main thing to do is not to let it affect your training.  Remember why you first started at the gym and why you wanted to compete.  Don't let this stop you doing what you love, which is lifting weights.  No matter what level you are at there is always going to be dodgy decisions, all you can do is get bigger and leaner and keep on your game plan.  As long as each time you compete you are better than you were the previous time - you always want to keep making progress.  Life's not fair, get used to it... instead of letting it hold you back just train harder and stay focussed on your BB goals.

You did great don't get caught up weather your 2nd or 3rd, give it a few days (workouts) and you'll figure out it dosn't matter to much. In NZ you'll have to follow your own path. I'm a x kiwi BB x Mr NZ and Alk owned a couble of gyms and ran shows.. If you want to go for it find a friendly farmer who needs cash and you'll have all that you want. And keep away from Hardwick and Fong.

Just about everyone has gotten ripped off at a contest at one point or another.  Lee Priest said he once judged a show & heard some people bitching behind him after the contest was over that their guy didn't win.  He turned around & said, "Get used to it.  I had to." 

I just heard that a top NPC guy retired from BB competition because a friend of his overheard an NPC head honcho (will remain nameless) tell the panel not to rank him in the top five because he used synthol.  He didn't (did site injections) but that was the end.  He packed it in & is now involved in another sport with a finish line.

its easy to feel pissed off and question weather all the effort is worth the reward, but how good would it feel to come back the next year and show a physique that said f*ck you judges try and give me a shit placing this time

Because bodybuilding is a sport of opinion and not that of a true decisive winner like say that of a runner or high jumper or tennis player or football player then if you want to do well you have to addopt a attitude of "i will do my up most best and the rest is out of my hands"--- sure you train and diet to win , that is the driving force behind the hardship you suffer in getting ready for a show, but you also need to be realistic in your approach to the Actual show its self.

You are going to be "Judged" by a group of individuals ,( half whom are out of shape and fat), whose opinion on you as a individual is the only way to determine if you are better than the next guy, this I am afraid leaves allot or room for variables--- we know this when we stand on stage, Its bodybuilding !!

So being proud of your self and what you achieved to get on stage is always a priority first and foremost before any judges opinion-- think like this and you will be there for a long time, and it takes time to become a champion !!

I don't think you should use the words GO OUT, SHEEP, THE BACK and ROLLING AROUND in the same sentence dude, especially when you come from New Zealand !!!


No what I mean !!! ;)

Hey bud

I went to that show - all 'n' all it wasn't too bad - and you are right - you did get ripped off - but hey, you've just gotta get over it aye. What disgusted me the most were the physique novice womens class. Only ONE I tell ya ONE bloody competitor looked decent in that class - the rest should of got told to bugger off and do another sport - shit I don't know, play marbles perhaps???? Some of these bloody personal trainers, need to be honest with them and stop tiptoeing around their clients by saying to them, "Oh you look great darling, of course your place!" The only area they would place, would be the line to the counter of MacD's!!! I've seen alot of personal trainers whose clients look great on stage, Mr Rainbow, yours of course (as per usual), Mike Debenhams (his client got ripped off at the Nats thats for bloody real, here I was thinking that she would actually win but she didn't get diddly squat, as well as Gary Jones. They are the only P'T's in NZ that I can think of who are real with their clients and don't fill their heads with crap!! Thank goodness this site isn't PC because I was running out of places to go! By the way, who is this Lisa Menzies? Has she ever competed? Or is she just another PC person who wants to go on stage but lives through her clients? I've never seen her on stage but it sounds as though she knows it all. Anyway, I'm out, I've gotta go and eat, see you on stage later. Mark send me your email, I'm doing my final show this year, and I don't give a shit if the judges like me or not. If I place I place if I don't, I'll take up hula hoops!
