Title: Bloated stomachs beware!!!
Post by: RagingBull on March 10, 2015, 06:47:31 PM
After Arnold's appropriate critique of the state of bodybuilding and judging, the "athletes" with zero bloat will come out on top starting ASAP.  Cedric is about to become a veritable force to reckon with...along with the other flat stomach thongsters.

Current bb has a huge cult following. Bb was never meant to be mainstream. There are thousands of people buying hundreds in suplements every week. How many npc members dedicating their life to turn pro. How many people follow the top pros. Check instagram and see. who do you think buys all this merchandise that supports all these companies? For those that think its dying, have you ever been in th. Bb world. Ie. Competed on nationals or better? Or trained with Pros. Gyms i train at have hundreds of wanna be dlb's. And lots of national mens competitors. People around the flobe know coleman or heath. Yeah it looks dead from the outside. But its doing fine.

Dude. There are a lot of people who come here who don't post, and many compete, and many post on other boards. Many of the pros used to post here. Phil Heath had a long thread a few months back.
There used to be the Mr. Getbig. And then there is something of the "Getbig Effect" for those chosen few among pros who Getbig deems "worthy".

You underestimate this site.

Bodybuilding is not mainstream, however, why would anyone aspire to have a physique with a bloated gut?  The same people who follow it now will continue to follow it once the stomachs are in check.  Additionally, awarding bodybuilders who merely don't have to fight the fight to keep their bloated stomachs in may attract mainstream audiences.

Current bb has a huge cult following. Bb was never meant to be mainstream. There are thousands of people buying hundreds in suplements every week.

Nah, it won't.  The general public doesn't give a shit about competitive bodybuilding.  It's not like they're aware of this gut thing and that's the reason they're avoiding.

Exactly. Do people here seriously believe that if the top BB's had more aesthetic physiques, more people would watch?
LOL! :D

BB is never going to get any more popular than it already is. This is simply because at the end of the day, it's just a beauty contest involving heavily drug reliant competitors. That’s hardly something most people will care about viewing or following.
The only reason it was more popular in the past was not down to superior physiques, it was just down to the fact that large, muscular physiques were much more a rarity in society so there was much more of a mystique surrounding it, thus gaining more attention to it.

Judging is too inconsistent. How do you have Dexter first, and Branch second. Their physiques are night and day. If they were judging by a classy looking physique, than Cedric, Freeman, Beyeke, or Curry should have been second.  Dexter has a flat stomach, good lines, good symmetry and proportion and good flow, and Branch has horrible lines, horrible symmetry, gross stomach, and horrible proportion. Something doesn't add up here.

Bodybuilding is like Detroit, Chicago and the many other dead cities.  We need to accept its best days are behind it and it's never coming back.

Just mentioned in the other thread Arnold seems really pissed with what he's seen this time at the classic with guts and is coming up with ideas to move forward, one being audience participation to help decide the winner!...

Actually , that IS bodybuilding. IFBB is steroid freak competition, not really bodybuilding.

The best real bb board is professional muscle by far... You are correct about the cult following but if you are REALLY on the inside - you will know that very few of us are into the turtle shell gut... Too big too fast and you get it 100% of the time.. You can be massive with a tight waist

absolutely correct post.  The "coolness" of being a big muscular ripped guy played out in the 70's.

audience voting /judging could be a great idea

fuck the IFBB judges/manion/Weinberger who've been getting it wrong for decades

let the people decide

electronic devices in the seats, one vote per seat- verdict done!

There are more people than ever into working out / fitness etc. If bodybuilders had a more pleasing attainable look, bodybuilding would at the very least be seen on television again.

When your stomach looks like this, you should automatically be relegated to dead last. No matter what your other body parts look like

 Homo sexual men support and are fans of the pros the people who buy supplements are age 16-25 who have no idea who mr olympia is nor do they care. The cat is out of the bag among serious bodybuilders everyone knows supplements dont do anything the internet revealed the secrets if a pro bodybuilder has a huge following on instagram say 20,000 people you can bet 19,000 of them are queers like I am sure some hot playboy bunny has just as many followers are her fans running out buying the same mascara as she is? No.
