For quite some time, this honorable warrior has sat here patiently waiting, never complaining or asking, for his blue stars.
Just the other day, I noticed that he made some posts and under his name there were yellow stars.
What was once yellow has now turned blue, as our friend and loyal member Hazbin is now part of our official competitors group.
Congratulations to one of the best members we have and a true bodybuilder that is worthy of his blue stars and, in my opinion, his IFBB Pro card.
Enjoy my friend,

There are a number of ways to get Blue Stars.
Mainly, you can:
(1) Meet Ron at a local NPC event where you are part of the competitor's list
(2) Show proof of your participation in an NPC/NABBA event by way of providing a roster with your name and then showing us proof of your identity.
(3) Showing us pictures of you on stage and then correlating your identity by sending us a separate picture of yourself holding up a sign with your name.

In before vince ask for his blue stars.

Congrats hazbin! Let's have some stories of yesteryear to celebrate stud!
-
Congrats Hazbin! One of the best physiques and real class.
-
Never realized Hazbin didn't have his blue stars. Kind of a given I guess. if anyone deserves those it's him.
-
Grats Hazbin.
And Vince Basile suffers in quiet solitude once more.
You know what might make his head explode? Take Shizzo out of time out for 1 day, give him blue stars, and make one of these threads for him. I think Vince might actually cry.

4. Don't make disparaging comments about Ron, his friends, or the IFBB industry.

I sense a conspiracy. People ganging up. The ad hoc awarding of Blue Stars to Hazbin. Moderators participating in bullying behaviour.
Defamation allowed to remain and even posted by a moderator. It is all there. A bona fide conspiracy against my good name.
I am unmoved by such childish displays and will continue to champion the rights of the hapless and unfortunate.

here's a couple pics about 30 years apart.
Interesting - your bicep totally caught up with the rest of the arm. I would have suspected the forearms blowing up even more and making the bis look even less dominant.
Nice flow to your physique - props.

ya, forearms were abit ahead when I was a kid. I raced motocross as well as trained them hard with weights. it got to the point later that I started using wrist wraps on all back workouts to keep them from growing.

Good point. Maybe looking big and in condition should be a requirement for Blue Stars and not merely getting up on stage like Goodrum!

Hazbin had a great physique with no weak points. How he failed to win the Canada is a mystery. Lots of good guys there. It is hard to win a big provincial title nowadays.

You can call me old, because I am. When I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror I say to myself, who is this old fart looking back at you and when did this happen? Well, it happened because I have lived a long time and honestly hope I live a bit longer....yikes! To answer your question, I cannot imagine going on about getting blue stars on Getbig. To be fair though, I have never been a competitive bodybuilder so what do I know about these things. Vince and I are the same age. Despite his comments claiming otherwise, he seems committed to getting his blue stars. I cannot pretend to know why this is.
-

He pretends to have friends in high places and tries to act like he's important and an insider in the "bodybuilding industry". Most likely he got the blue stars for the pure comedic value of aggrandizing a delusional charlatan.

At the end of the day what do people remember? That I don't have Blue Stars. I am fine with the Gold stars.

Is this really a thing? Do people really care about the color of the stars under their name?

Pls end this star controversy somehow! We could just make the stars racial. White, black, brown, and yellow.
I'll step back from over the line now.

Well, if you tried and tried and just couldnt sort it out, then you hold your head high and be proud of what you accomplished I guess.
I was curious if you had any ideas of what youd have done differently coming into the contest to try and maintain that condition... do you have an idea of what part of your prep is was that needed to be changed? Any idea which components of the prep sabotaged you? (I.e. carb deplete/load, dropping sodium/loading, changing compounds/foods out to early/late)?
I guess in curious as to what you think it was that needed to change to get you looking 'right' on stage?

Yeah.
All drugs. You looked like shit without them. You only looked decent with them.
You needed drugs to be able to (kinda) win Mr Canada.
And as for your 2 tablet dbol claim, NEVER trust a drug abuser like you. You say 2 tablets, it was likely 4 coupled with deca and other goodies.

Unbelieveable what the Flotsam come up with. If I said it was 2 tablets that is what it was. I gained some size in the first month and my bench went up. I bullked up to 210 then dieted down to 190. I still wasn't ripped.
I have never injected any drug, period. I hate needles! We were too ashamed to go to a doctor for gear.

Likely story, yeah... we all believe you.
You were ALL drugs. The only time you could win was when you were juiced to the gills. Marty Johnson told me personally that back in the day you were popping dbol all day like they were m&m's!
My grandpa is good friends with John McPherson, your competition for the Mr Canada competition. He told me that you were well known for being a lazy trainer and relied on PED's to get the edge!

Nice try at rewriting history. Drugs did very little for me. Never heard of Marty Johnson or John McPherson.
I started training in 1958 and didn't try Dianabol until Feb 1970. Contest was in May.
I paid my dues the hard way. I deadlifted 525 pounds at UBC without any drugs at all.

Im sure you WOULD conveniently forget about them. I think its a chickenshit move pretending you don't know who they are. I'm sure you have never heard of George Hermensen either? He knows you!
I just cant trust the word of a drug abuser like you! Your claims are no better than Ronnie Coleman stating he is a lifetime natural!

Never heard of George Hermensen. I know or knew Hans Gensow, Jimmy Forsythe, Andy Hinds, Dieter Stamm, Gerry Keast, Doug Hepburn, Don Dyers, Freddy Baron, Ken Rivard.
I left Canada in January 1971. Haven't been back except on holiday.
I used Dianabol on three occasions. 1970, 1973, and 1975 for a total of 8 months. That is it. Nothing since.

Lol. Never heard of any of those guys.
Here I am in 1969 with Mr Universe Earl Maynard. Absolutely no drugs or supplements used.
I came to Australia to get a job. I taught PE in high school and within 6 months bought a gym.
I was also doing uni two nights a week. Not much time or interest in training.

You must have me mixed up with someone else. I have no idea who Winston Hamilton is. Never went to school with anyone with that name. Ditto for college.
Back in those days everyone was afraid of getting cancer if they used steroids. Approaching a doctor for anabolic steroids was just not even considered. It
would have been humiliating. Very few guys used steroids when I started out. By the mid sixties we all heard about steroids but it was all hush, hush. The
muscleheads and weight lifters were keeping the info to themselves. No point giving your competitors the means to defeat yourself.
I guess so many bullshit on Getbig that even honest guys are thought to be lying. Nope, my integrity is too important to me. I never lie about the past
and I don't exaggerate or change what happened. What I write is 100% the truth as far as I can remember.

Do yo really not smell the bullshit youre shoveling? Who the fuck do you think youre fooling?
LOL, fucking guys are always rewriting history through their rose colored glasses.
Why would anyone be ashamed of something that had no stigma and available OTC? From what I undersrand no om became 'ashamed' of PED usage until it became targeted and illegal.

You must have me mixed up with someone else. I have no idea who Winston Hamilton is. Never went to school with anyone with that name. Ditto for college.
Back in those days everyone was afraid of getting cancer if they used steroids. Approaching a doctor for anabolic steroids was just not even considered. It
would have been humiliating. Very few guys used steroids when I started out. By the mid sixties we all heard about steroids but it was all hush, hush. The
muscleheads and weight lifters were keeping the info to themselves. No point giving your competitors the means to defeat yourself.
I guess so many bullshit on Getbig that even honest guys are thought to be lying. Nope, my integrity is too important to me. I never lie about the past
and I don't exaggerate or change what happened. What I write is 100% the truth as far as I can remember.
Oscar looks great in this picture. You have that same familiar drug look. Hairline taking a beating from all the injectables.

You are not worth responding to. Just a nameless dork who likes to knock people. You are a troll for sure. No more replies

Vince Basile really taking the bait in this thread.

Meltdown

vince was known as dibasibol back in the day
-
Lol. Never heard of any of those guys.
Here I am in 1969 with Mr Universe Earl Maynard. Absolutely no drugs or supplements used.
I came to Australia to get a job. I taught PE in high school and within 6 months bought a gym.
I was also doing uni two nights a week. Not much time or interest in training.
great hair vince

OMR, can you block Vince from any thread about 'blue stars'?

Little know fact, Vince was so heavily involved in the development and testing of Dianabol (on himself) that they were originally going to call it "Basil-abol"

We've had this conversation before, I know, but I just want to remind folks here that while it may have been taboo to ask a doctor for steroids in the 60's in Canada, this was not the case in the U.S. At least not in Southern California. In 1959 our family doctor put me on 5 mg of Diannabol and a weekly test shot because I was incredibly skinny and probably had hypogonadism. I repeated this cycle in 1963 and in again in 1973. Incidentally much of what I gained was permanent, which is to say I was never 126 lbs. at almost 6 ft. tall. again.

2 Dianabol tablets a day for 6 weeks, month off, month on, contest. Yep, all drugs.
Hazbin looks great. Wish the photo had more detail. Hard to make it look better. Here he is in B&W.
Much thicker than Gaspari, but I guess there's a similarity. Reminds me more of Gunnar Rosbo for some reason. Maybe the crazy forearms.

Hahahaha! Not even one?

Is it true only Bodybuilders get blue stars?
-
Hazbin has probably the best physique on getbig but he is humble and didn't whine about blue stars. Vince Basile could learn from hazbin's modesty.

We can all congratulate Hazbin on his physique. Sure he is a nice guy, even Josh says so. I am confident he would rather have the Mr Canada title than
Blue Stars on Getbig.

How disappointing to have such a great build and not be the national champion. Big arms, calves, forearms, good width, taper, great legs, abs...nothing missing!
You said you listened to various bodybuilders re contest preparation but always came in not looking your best.
We heard about Samir Bannout having the same problem. I guess the quest for 'conditioning' has changed bodybuilding and probably not for the best.
Dennis James had the same problem and never looked as good as he did a few weeks out. We listen to broscience at our peril.

my back was also a problem area ;D

I can relate and my worse issue is c6 pressing on my radial nerve. Feels like my arm and hand is broken when it inflamed!

Lifting heavy weights will do that. When you keep trying really hard to win a big show you tend to go to extremes. Happened to Ronnie Coleman, Jay, Dorian.
We all believed that lifting heavier would result in bigger muscles. We forgot that powerlifters weren't the biggest guys out there. Well, except for the super heavyweight class.
I also tore a biceps trying to set a gym record. Arthur Jones told us to build muscle, not demonstrate strength. He was right but we all thought those warnings were unnecessary.

You fool its the QUALITY of muscle that heavy weights build. Theres just a different look to it and thats why the old school bbers trained heavy. For dense muscularity plain and simple.

What is this quality of muscle you are talking about? From what I have seen the big guys today are stronger than the old school guys.
Hypertrophy is triggered by heavy resistance up to a point. It is far more important to do volume. The set after set after set with a reasonably heavy resistance is what does it.

Not true, and are their chests bigger today? Nope. Chests were thicker back then and its no coincidence the guys who trained heavy bench and flies had the biggest ribcages/chests. Mind you they achieved this by doing very heavy volumized low rep compounds.

For some reason, known only to laymen, muscles tear using really heavy weights. Ask Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates. Smart bodybuilders avoid those heavy weights and do more reps with lesser poundages.
The two biggest chests that I am aware of are Leroy Colbert and Arnold. Seems to me you need special genetics to get those huge pecs.

Genetics are key. I am not sure it is so much the actual poundage that causes muscle tears as pushing them too far. On the other hand I know folks who have fucked up their delts with uncontrolled lifting technics. So I suspect that as long as one can keep the movement strict, how much weight they move is secondary to injuries.

Genetics, partially. But they wouldn't have developed chests like that from doing push ups I assure you ;)

the canadians are usually in september, but next year they are in july, one week before my 50th birthday. that sucks, because i coulda been the youngest guy in the over 50 class. and it;s in my province too

I`m dead serious,your bad luck streak of getting robbed has to end somewhere.
Lots of great over 50 guys but if you get in shape,I bet you`d kill them.
Anyway,congrats on the stars and you`re an inspiration my friend. ;)

GREAT PIC!! Hope you do compete after turning 50, would be a great inspiration for all of us.
your brother in Christ,
Lucky
(when I "grow up" I want forearms like you!! :) )
