Mike,

If 240 did your website and you get so many compliments on the site, why are you such a dick to him? Oh, and by the way, you have a terrible physique and will be lucky to place last. My bet is that you quit rather than humiliate yourself by stepping onstage because you will replace Vince G as the laughingstock competitor of this site.

He already has !!!! Like Vince, He thinks : Bombard the board with as many pics and posts untill people know who you are. Even though you are known to be a fool with an aweful physique ! Don't feed this terds ego. He actually thinks he's a star. Go to his website for proof. ( Try not to laugh ) Good luck placing dead last in some bumfuck contest no one has heard of. Believe me guys, Arvilla really thinks he's got this awesome physique. He has no clue that your average 13 year old looks better. what a fool !!!!!!!

Yeah & the truth be known, your just another fat-ass who wouldn't know how & couldn't have 1/8 the discipline to diet for a show,let alone be MAN enough to post your pics for the world to see. I also wonder are you as illiterate as you seem or are your finger's so fat you keep hitting the wrong keys?

Mike, I like your attitude and some of your comments are funny as hell.

Just a few things thought

1. Is the purple robe yours?
2. Did you really pay shawn $20 for that pic?
3. I hope that you have worked on those quads.
4. With enough cardio you won't "make a fool/Vince G" yourself.
5. Man, your girlfriend is hot, what is she doing with you?

Good luck with the show.

Its funny big Mike , no matter how much hateing goes on on this board , when a genuine good guy like yourself , gives it go and puts his heart and sole into it , most have nothing but respect and admiration for the effort , and that speaks volumes of the man !!!

Keep going hard big guy , and I wish you nothing less than good experiances and education on your challenge, you will be a better stronger person for it , and remember take it one day at a time and make each workout your last !!! you do the work , the results will follow

It is strange isn't it, nobody is really going at him.

It has something to so with him being a good guy, but it also has something to do with how he deals with the criticism. The people who get themselves into trouble here are people who react very quickly (and emotionally) to what is said. 

Its a constant source of amusement here that some people do not realise that all they have to do is not feed the trolls and they won't say shit.

Mike, maybe it is the distance from the camera but on 2/4 you had some good size. In the current pics you are looking small with not much change in BF. Something is going wrong with the diet and cardio.  Did you speak to someone before hand or are you winging it?

I was on a strick diet down (being depleted of the "baby" fat I accumulated through the years) but now am starting to introduce more carbs and fat (ie: extra virgin olive oil) to start filling out.  Check out my contest page on my web site (www.mikearvilla.com) and click on the videos and notice the changes in size.  There was a lot of BF hiding the muscle.  One of the video I don't even show much of a peak on what was a 20" bicep.  Crazy huh?

  my answer was "whatever weight i look great at" (peeled/shredded)
i dont care what i weigh onstage.it's all an illusion anyways

Whatever weight you'll end up at, it will definitely be good for your PT business having done this.

You actually dieted down, faced the fears of losing impressive size (which was mostly fat anyways), and got into great shape. That is something you'll be able to build on, and forever be proud of.

You may not look great right now. You may or may not look good at contest day.

But you were still able to stop goofing around, and take your bodybuilding to a new level. Build on that.

BTW, your new off season look will most likely be a very pleasing experience to you.

Hey, Mike. I don't know what kind of product you'll be using - Dream Tan or Pro Tan - but I suggest you DO NOT use Dream Tan according to the March 2005 issue of Flex (page 168) Just thought I'd give ya a tip....  ;)
