Who is Ron Harris?
On the "Daily Pump" section of his website, Ron Harris claims to have recently incline benched 315 for 6 reps. He also claims to have done bent-over rows with 365 for 8 reps. Does anyone actually believe this twat can lift even half of what he claims? He admits that he can't deadlift 500, but he's doing bent over rows with 365 for reps?Have you ever lifted weights? What is so unbelieveable. Ir this was a pro BB people would say he is lifting nothing special but it's unbelieveable for a 200lb plus lifter with 20 years behind him. I can incline 225 for a couple of reps and plenty of 'normal' guys in my gym row 225. I think you were either being sarcastic or do not work out consistently or heavily.BULLSHIT
I knew Ron when he used to train at the old Astro Gym in San Gabriel and the Golds Gym in Pasadena.....he was a cocky little so and so!!you two must have gotten along just fine, you're both short, cocky, have ugly wives and think you're strong.
you two must have gotten along just fine, you're both short, cocky, have ugly wives and think you're strong.
you two must have gotten along just fine, you're both short, cocky, have ugly wives and think you're strong.
it's the new "hip" thing to do here at getbig...everytime anyone says they did anything you have to claim that lift is bullshit and everytime someone has a halfway decent bodypart you have to claim synthol even if it's a pic from like 1985 or something...

peace, the Doc :)
love those bicep implants.
anyone have the front extended double bicep pics? it's like he's flexing when he's not.
I THINK YOUR THINKING of someone else Rob
(i know who but it doesnt matter........)

I have seen other pics where his biceps were definitely not implants - and definitely needed a lot of work.
You mean Lee Aperson?
Yes, he has horrible implants.
Ron Harris has very subtle ones, but they clearly have an unusual shape when in the front extended pose (the "T"). Someone posted them on Mayhem and it was a huge thing- now you get banned for asking about it.
no no no no no...............he competes at the New England BB Show (like Ron)
good dude ..just went a lil crazy with some "foreign substance".....
if the house was on fire you could say ........." the house was ab****"
lasix? could be.
they were hilarious. I mean, his biceps alone were bigger than his whole calf/lower leg. They looked like sails.
The guys whose pics were all over the board this time last yr?
Gerry Blais is who you guys are talking about. His arms look horrible (and yes, I would say this to his face), but apparently he is a nice guy so that makes up for it. ::)

Here is the thread on mayhem from last year:
http://www.musclemayhem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25335
I dug up a quote from the 2004 New England's where Tim Wescott talked shit about Gerry and his arms. Meanwhile in the 2005 thread with Gerry participating in it, Tim was kissing his ass. ::) I called Tim on it over at www.ironage.us in a PM, and I'm going to point it out here as the type of double standard I hate seeing. >:(
Meanwhile, in the 2005 thread, I made some comments saying essentially LESS than what Tim did the previous year and guess what? TIM deleted my post and almost banned me. In the same thread, check out what Ron Harris said about Gregg Valentino (attachment below).
Wow Ron, if your goal was to reduce your credibility - goal achieved!
Not to mention in the New England's thread people were giving Gerry Blais props for having 24 inch arms! Unreal. ??? Don't they realize that while a few select mayhem members will like this, the majority of readers will be turned off and stay away from the board if that is there attitude?
Totally reasonable you pencil neck dweeb
Ron is a cocky twit. He used to work with Lou Zwick on the American Muscle Magazine TV show about ten years ago. He was at one of the tapings I did, and I remember him trying to school me on how to properly pose, train, diet, etc. At the time he was a pencil-neck wannabe who thought he was the shit. Now he is a juiced up meathead who still thinks he's the shit ::)

Stop being a hater and put your energy in training.
The gymowner of the place I train, only weights about 187 and presses 308 flat. Back in the days when he competed he pressed 374 incline at a weight of 195. Yet he's quite short, 1,6 m, short fellas tend to press more without any logical explanation.
Both sound believable.
I do put a lot of energy into my training, which is why I can't stand it when some shithead magazine writer makes stuff up for the hell of it. 315x6 would put his incline bench at around 375, which equates to around a mid 400's bench at 230 lb. I would be willing to bet my getbig account that he can't do full unassisted reps on the incline with 315. Same goes for his 365 lb barbell rows. That's almost 4 plates a side for reps. Most 600 and 700 lb deadlifters would have trouble doing rows with that weight. Complete bullshit.
He might weigh 230, but it's all in his legs and ass. His upper body doesn't look particularly strong. With that kind of bench strength, he should be capable of doing weighted dips with 150-200 lb, yet he can only do 45 lb for a few reps.
You are so jealous that it's sad. Do something productive with your life instead of tearing others down.
Found this on one of his Daily Pumps - if he can do 140's for incline dumbbells, couldn't he use 315 on a bar?
His arms and chest are tiny for someone who supposedly reps out with 315 on inclines.

Doc...are you saying BrianX probably doesn't even workout and if he does his lifts are so pathetic that he finds others benching in triple digits unbelievable?No, I was exagerating a bit to make a point. It just seeemed ridiculous to dispute Ron's lifts since for a veteran trainer of his size they are good of course but not exceptional. As BB's go, they don't even seem boastfull claims but rather a simple log of his training. I don't that Brian X lifts but it did seem silly to get so upset by Ron's claims.
HAHAHAHA I think its safe to say that Ron turned down "BrianX" when he offered to be his personal cum dumpster hahahahaha now he is nothing but a spurned lover full of hate...sad reallyare you trying to say that brianx was dissapointed when he found out that ron's "daily pump" article wasn't about anal sex?
Classic GB >:( ;D Are his strength claims real??? Bicep implants?? Natty or juiced??? Who cares?
Ron is a good guy. Picsin a REAL gym with REAL weights to back-up everything he posts about. Implants nope... Funny but no.. Juiced or not.. I don't care but I know he's on nothing now and hasn't been for a longtime if he ever did anything at all.. Hell he has cranked the 150's Incline. 315 for 6 is no massive feat. Quit bitchin' and get in the gym and train already. this place is seldom ammusing and tired. I'm currently training to college atheletes that can Incline 315 and just weighed in at 205 and 218 yesterday. Both are over 5'10 and carved out of granite. Both natty for life and on nothing but vit/mins/protein/herbs/ and the 'SECRET" F-O-O-D ..
Oh and Mindspin get a grip.. Everyone in bodybuilding was a cocky know-it-all when they were young and getting their groove on and devoting your life to it... You were no different when Met-RX gave you your 15 mins.. no hating just the truth. Jealousy is ugly man.. I was no different. People change and mature. Get past it already. Life is too short to be bitter and carry a grudge..
God Bless,

Couldnt' attach 2 pics - here's the bb row - again, form doesn't look so hot as he isn't bending over far enough for what I consider a true bent row!

At least Ron hasn't killed anyone and burned their body in the trunk of his own car!
Movados aren't that expensive - I got my girlfriend one for her birthday last year and it was on sale for 600 bucks. If he had said 'Rolex,' I would have thought he was bragging.
Trust me pal, I'm not bitter about anything. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am a down-to-earth regular guy. But, like anyone I have my pet peeves. The two I most often rant about are She-Beats & delusional bodybuilders who think that they're "the shit".
I read an article that Harris wrote last year about the Titus after party. Listening to him brag about his "Movado" watch and all of the other materialistic BS was as humorous as it was sickening.
Material excess financed through plastic money…ha ha ha! Oh brother ::)
Meltdown.

Either that or he has a lil' mancrush going on.
I bet "Pazuzu" is Ron Harris. Pazuzu is a mythological demon featured in the Exorcist films. I know that Harris is a horror film fan and writes horror stories. I also know from his earlier
posts that "Pazuzu" lives in the exact same area as Ron Harris.

Re-read my post. I added evidence to back up my claim.
Ron Harris = OWNED.
This having been said Ron, the only beef I had was your defense of Gregg Valentino. Then again, it is your credibility on the line and not mine.
lol! Ron was going on about how big his guns were. hahahaha.
ok, I'm all in favour of not openly bashing board members because they did stupid things - hell, we all have done something stupid at one point or another. But to actually go ahead and PRAISE him for his synthol use? Please. ::)
Ha! Is that really his wife in the 1st pic?
Yes! I was waiting for someone to finally figure it out! I have talked about "The Exorcist" so many times and I was disappointed no one got this faster. Also, how would Pazuzu have all those pics so fast?hey Ron didn't you claim on mayhem that you could behind neck press 315?
So okay, I am owned, or p*wned, whatever the f**k it is you call it. You win!
All I know is that I am willing to say my real name - Ron Harris!
240, who are you? Where are your pics?
Mindspin, obviously we have met, who are you? I think you would find I am quite a different person than I was a decade ago.
For that matter, who are all of you? I respect Arvilla because he posts under his own name and uses his own pics. That takes a lot more balls than hiding behind some fantasy identity you have created online. If anyone is on here and doesn't even work out, that's really sad.
I can say that I would talk exactly the same to any of you in person as I did online, and the two or three hundred people that came up to me at the Gaspari booth at the Arnold a few weeks ago will all attest to that.
My physique is nothing great, and I am not in danger of breaking any lifting records. But I make a living doing what I love in the sport I love, I have a wife that's been my best friend for 17 years, and two great kids. If you want to bash me, go ahead, but POST YOUR REAL pics at least.
And about Gerry Blais' arms - I was joking. He is a very nice guy and he knows that I know what's up with his arms. As for Valentino, I do believe it's possible that his arms look like that from site-injecting regular gear in his arms 100's and 100's of times. I never in any way said his arms were actual muscle tissue that he had built.
Why would anyone be afraid to 'speak his mind' when he is totally and utterly anonymous? I should know, I am the demon of the Western wind, bringer or pestilence and war.
So okay, I am owned, or p*wned, whatever the f**k it is you call it. You win!

Sarcasm, where are your pics and what have you done in this industry except post tons of negative shit here? What have you contributed to bodybuilding? Have you helped anyone gain size, strength, or lose fat?
And I could indeed behind-neck press 315 back around 1995-1999 when my rotator cuffs were healthy - I can still do overhead db presses with 120's any day and 130's on a good day. How much can you press? WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?

I train at Golds in Stoughton Mass where Ron works out and all the strength claims are true. Ron is also Super Nice and down to earth as well as his wife Janet.
Ron Harris, MD writer, deceives people on message boards?
Holy Crap!
240, why is there naked pictures of you floating around on other threads?? I can't read a damn thing without seeing that gross picture everywhere! i know you know what one i'm talking about?
Do ya think it's me posting them? I mean, really?
How the hell did you let them get out? I mean WTF?
I made a little site for my progress when I was ballooning up from 120 to 220 over a course of 2 years, about 4 years back now.
someone here found it on google cache, and now a few homosexual members like to trade it. Obviously i'm not pushing it.
I also acknowledged the fact that my arms are a weak area, not once, but several times.
And I sure ain't Brad Pitt, but at least my ugly mug is up there for all to see.
All i got out off harris's posts and website is he really enjoy's training after all these year's and love's bbing in general.compete's for the enjoyment to better his placing at his states top show,he knows he won't win national level ,so why rip him?
Dude, whatever! There are naked pix of YOU on every other thread! Does everyone have to see it though? and who was the homo that took that pic? and please don't say it was you????
At least Ron hasn't killed anyone and burned their body in the trunk of his own car!
And this one - tights are pretty f'ing gay, but the dude has some wheels on him
I am only 28, and I look back at some of the things I said and did when I was a teenager and realize what an IDIOT I was back then. People change, at least I know I have. Don't know if Harris has or not.
Found this on one of his Daily Pumps - if he can do 140's for incline dumbbells, couldn't he use 315 on a bar?
Chest doesn't look tiny here –
I have seen other pics where his biceps were definitely not implants
Arm implants? Harris? Must be a different guy
Honestly, I didn't know how to create a second identity and I already had the Pazuzu screen name. I wanted to play your game for a little while and see how long it took you to figure out that Pazuzu was me. I thought the flood of photos I posted would have given me away.
I work for Steve Blechman and with Romano and call them both friends. All of us love the sport and care about keeping it alive and thriving. PDI can only help toward that. Competition brings out the best in everyone. So even if PDI doesn't succeed as a viable pro federation, it will force the IFBB to step up its game, increase prize money, etc, just like the WBF did.
And I was around and working in the business 15 years ago when the WBF came and went.

Hey Ron tell the MD readers that the next mr. Olympia is currently online and tell Ronnie Coleman to watch out. In the not so distant future Alexxx will wear the throne!
You're obviously using steroids.
See what I mean...? My thread gets moved and now I still see 240's naked pix! WTF?
And one last thing for tonight - it's all relative! My arms suck compared to Ronnie or Lee's, but to the average person, they are huge.
And some of you guys that have even smaller arms than me, guess what? I am sure that to some people, like a young girl in a nightclub, your arms are huge!
Strength - same thing. I am a lot stronger than a lot of guys, and there are guys that are a lot stronger than THOSE guys. It's all about improvement and effort. If you bench press 225 but you used to only be able to bench 185, you should be proud of that, even if some other guy at your gym can bench 450.
I don't rip on anyone as long as they are trying to improve and they work hard at it, whether they weigh 100 pounds or 300.
guy has contributed positively to the industry, stepped on stage more than a few times, and put forth good information to the public- all things I doubt 90% of us on these boards will ever do.
I don't get why Ron felt the need to post under an anonymous account. ???
He never struck me as an insecure guy, although that mayhem thread was indeed evidence of groupthink. Tim really pissed me off in that thread. >:( Stuff like that may be all fine and dandy for the mayhem asskiss members, but the majority of internet browsers will be turned off by it. Threads like that really hurt Mayhem's rep, just as some threads on getbig have hurt us.
But why did Ron need to post? If anything, BrianX's original post completely backfired as most of us believed Ron's claims. A lot of us were praising Ron, so why did he need to come in here.
Ron, any word on this? Most of us are on your side.
I will gladly delete my account if he can post video evidence of these lifts.
The fact that he responded to my accusations by posting under some phoney account just proves that I'm correct. He never really challenged anything I said. Harris knows that he can't lift the poundages quoted on his website. End of story.
I will gladly delete my account if he can post video evidence of these lifts. The fact that so many people believed (and still believe) this guy just shows how little the average Getbig poster knows about weight training. If his poundages are correct, Harris should be capable of 200 lb weighted dips and deadlifts with well over 600 lb. I've only seen a few guys who could honestly lift what he claims, and they were all extremely strong on the bench and deadlift. There is no way that someone with a 450 deadlift could do rows with nearly 4 plates a side. It's pure bullshit anyway you look at it.
Come on Ron, post it up and save the rest of us having to read anymore hating sh*te from Brian!
And Sarcasm, you're still a knob!
Why not?
There's is no standard for deadlift.
I'm able to row 440, and do deadlift for 480 for reps,
but I do them (almost) stiflegged from a rack. 100% stifflegged is unhealthy with heavy weights.
I once pulled 320 kg from the floor, 704lbs,
but I don't like that, you're make it a leg excercise.
The only thing that's unbelievable, is dedicated training. These man made a living out of it. If you want to make progress, achieving the same thing is the most stupieds thing I ever heard, keep training,
one day you'll come close or at least make some progress over the years.
So please stop whining about unbelievable, and start training.
Don't knock sarcasm, he impressed us with 105 pound shoulder presses but it seems he's been eclipsed by Ron Harris's 120 anyday, 130 on a good one which means of course he will be responding 1 of 3 ways:
1. Crawling back under his hole
2. Showing some respect
3. Selecting another gimmick account to recommence his attack
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=62412.msg939233#msg939233
This just proves that I'm right. Harris only deadlifts around 330 for 10 reps, but can supposedly do an insane 8 reps with 365 on barbell rows.

Jack has no reason to lie about those claims. You're obviously jealous that Jack is rich, famous and strong ::)
so i say to you, let's see the pics of your 315 PBN, put up or shut up.
Why did I post here? For one thing, I like to think that all of us that live the bodybuilding lifestyle, which may or not pertain to everyone that posts on bb message boards I know, have a lot in common. I think it's silly that members of one board hate members of another board. I have had bad experiences here, most notably a series of threads last year about how ugly my wife is (whatever), but I still like to think that most people here are good guys. I do post on Mayhem most of the time, but I like to read GetBig for the bb news Ron Avidan posts. Ron seems like a very decent guy who genuinely loves the sport, just like I do.so basically you're lying your ass off, there is no way that you ever pressed even 250 behind the neck you just don't appear to have the size to do it, 315 is Mike Francois, Levrone, Coleman or Cormier type weight, i think that you get so caught up in being like the pros that you interview that you have somehow deluded yourself into believing that you're on their level.
As for video proof of lifts, not gonna happen. It's a waste of time. I really don't care what anyone believes or doesn't believe I can lift. My 'claims' are just what I can lift, nothing more, nothing less, and it's ALL RELATIVE. Some of you can't lift what I can, and I am sure some of you can lift a LOT more than I can. As long as we are all training hard and improving, nothing else matters.
As for my BN press with 315, I haven't been able to do that in at least six or seven years. I wrecked my rotator cuffs doing that exercise heavy for several years, as I think most people would.
And one lift does not correlate to another. There are guys what can deadlift 900 pounds but can 'only' squat 700, and vice versa. I have never been good at full deads from the floor, possibly because I have short arms, I don't know. Dave Henry has never done them, neither has Will Harris or Melvin Anthonly, yet they all have really good backs. I can do rack deads from the knees up with 495 for 10 any day, and 585 for 5-6 on a good day. I can use 5-6 plates a side on any Hammer back machine for a few good reps. But I suck at deadlifts. Go figure. I used to train with an ex Army Ranger named Bill Lamphiere (he wrote a book about his experiences leading Contra troops in Nicaragua called "The Secret War). Bill trains up at Powerhouse Gym in Chatsworth, CA now, same gym as Stan McQuay. Stan knows him. Anyway, when we trained, he was about 5-7, 180 pounds, and already over 40 years old, and could pull 495 off the floor for five easy reps. I think he has done over 650 in PL competition. Squatted five or six plates too, with a pause at the bottom! But Bill sucked at the bench press, at least back then. I don't think he could even get a single with 315, using a wide grip and a big arch in his back. Why are most of us good on some lifts and not on others? I think it has a lot to do with your bone structure and the leverages they create, muscle lengths, and other factors someone like Charles Poliquin or Ian King could explain a lot better than I could.
Hey Matt,sorry I REALLY pissed you off in that thread,but unlike some boards Mayhem has moderators and we moderate!!
Al-Gebra,I guess you think Federov will be Mr. O someday huh?
NOT!!!
I came here and discussed my comments about Federov......do a search.
Matt,stick to hawking DVD`s and please keep me out of your juvenile posts.
Thanks kid!
so basically you're lying your ass off, there is no way that you ever pressed even 250 behind the neck you just don't appear to have the size to do it, 315 is Mike Francois, Levrone, Coleman or Cormier type weight, i think that you get so caught up in being like the pros that you interview that you have somehow deluded yourself into believing that you're on their level.
Did you even read the post, troll? ::)hahahahahaha.............................meltdown.
Sorry, all this proves is that you are obsessed with a claim no noe cares about about anymore. 200lb weighted dips, what are you talking about. Do believe that if I can bench 225 X 10 that my max should be, I don't know 350lb!. Give it a rest, let it go, can't we all just get a long? ;)
I would believe that your max is around 300, which incidentally is probably more than Ron can bench for full reps.
No you didn't. Ron, why are you concerning yourself with some negative comments by the queens on here? ??? I've had my pics posted up here before and was ripped a new one. Do you see me losing sleep over it? Hell no.gotta disagree with you here Matt, i would say it to his face absolutely gauranteed.
None of these guys would say it to your face. That's what the internet is all about. People just think they are talking to a computer screen. I think we're all guilty of it to some degree.

Ron: this is EXCELLENT evidence for the existence of "groupthink" as Al-Gebra pointed out.
Notice how some people came on to say that Gerry's arms didn't look good only to have Tim Wescott go psychotic on them and threaten to ban them. ::)
Wouldn't want to ruin all those pages of "camaraderie and inspiration" as Tim pointed out. ::)
Tim reminds of my Sargeant Major when I was in the Canadian Forces (Don Fry). Complete brainwashed moron with a tenth grade education. Tim looks like him physically and is only a couple of years older so whenever I think of Tim I think of Don (who is a complete dumbass).
Don was a lot like Tim was in that post too. Taking the side of the person (Gerry) who was completely out of line (with synthol). Just as Don would only listen to whoever had the higher rank, and not who was right. :P That is why that post struck a chord. That type of thing on mayhem is why I don't go back there any more, but I have heard the board has vastly improved lately (less pro ass kissing).
gotta disagree with you here Matt, i would say it to his face absolutely gauranteed.
hm, ok. I guess it is true that some things would be said in person. I would tell Gerry Blais that his arms are a disgrace to bodybuilding if the discussion ever came up. Not that I would just go up to him and say that, but if we got on the topic, I would outright tell him his arms are a travesty of competitive bodybuilding.notice that i'm not calling Ron names or calling his wife names or being disrespectful in that regard i just have a problem with the weights he claims and i would tell him that to his face no doubt about it, the guy does have a decent physique.

no thats just sarcasm baking out at the heat of the battle. Like the little wuss he is.
When the going gets tough, sarcasm gets going- into a dark corner to hide ;D
BrianX, I don't care how much weight you can lift, because it has NOTHING to do with my own training and goals. You shouldn't care how much I lift, either. Bodybuilding is about developing your physique, not pushing up a lot of weight. If that's your deal, look into powerlifting or strongman events. In those sports, there are strict guidelines as to how the lifts must be performed, with judges making sure they are followed. And if you are stronger than others in those sports, you win. In bodybuilding, theoretically if a guy has the best physique on stage, it doesn't matter if he's the strongest or weakest man up there. I look at things from the point of view of a competive bodybuilder, because that's what I have been for the past 17 years of my life.
How old are you and how long have you been training? If you are upset because I am stronger than you (maybe you're stronger than me, I have no idea and again it's not an issue), there is a good chance that in time you will become as strong or perhaps far stronger than I am. I hope you do! I really wish nothing for the best for all that are sincere about improving their bodies.
Bodybuilders always say that when challenged on their lifts. If strength wasn't so important, you wouldn't have felt the need to lie about your lifts in the first place.
BTW, quit changing the subject. I'm well aware that bodybuilders don't train for strength. ::)
Lucius you're gayer than Little Richard on Valentine's Day.
Lucius you're gayer than Little Richard on Valentine's Day.
I really can't see what the problem is?? The numbers that Ron claims are not world shattering figures and I would say that, looking at his physique, he is more than capeable of those lifts! Sarcasm, let's see your pic! I know it won't happen and you will just continue to shoot your mouth off like the prick that you are ;)
Yeah, let's look at the people who defended Harris on this thread:
LuciusFox - A guy who does squats and deadlifts with rollerskates on.
Matt C - Insecure weakling who thinks "most naturals have the testosterone levels of a 12 year old girl".
rocket - Australian weirdo who idolizes Gary Busey and claims to be a "rocket scientist".
BroadStreetBruiser - Looks like he weighs 180 soaking wet, even with a bandana on.
Mike Arvilla - Bloated Mexican who claims to incline bench 405.
All of the above people have been owned.
Please explain how being 'owned' works. Are you forced to enter into some form of indentured servitude or slavery? And to assume said 'ownership,' I would assume some legal documents need to be filled out, signed, and notarized by all parties?RonI would smoke you on shoulder presses!.........I just got done doing 135 for 5 "'m a monster!"

Ron and Tim came on here and selfpw3d themselves . . . especially Ron with his gay-ass self promotion. You can tell how badly it chaps his hide that he doesn't have good genetics for really pretty much anything.
Pazuzu: "Look, guys . . . here's a pic of Ron, where his quads don't look half bad.
Here's my wife, isn't she hot?
I wrote 2,000 articles for publications that people pick up in grocery stores so that they can look at the pictures."
Whatever, dude.
Come on, he's right there with jack london with his whole "i'm so happy with my wonderful life that I have to go on the internet and reveal every detail of it" attitude.
People who really have happy lives don't need to come here for validation as Ron repeatedly has in this thread.
Everything you say is based on poor judgement and heavy assumption. The sort of thing I would expect from someone coming here to validate their shitty life versus some people making a living doing what they love. Completely oblvious to your own self loathing yet casting doubt on others. Pure irony.
I know reading this you will of course be embarassed and have to come back with a slew of abuse but take a moment to consider your motives for judging Ron based on a few sentences.
People who really have happy lives don't assume the most negative path for people repeatedly either.

I won't deny a certain amount of self-loathing . . . why should I?
I'm just helping ron see himself in a clearer light. ;)
some people have it together more than others, you don't catch me fucking around with them. but you're wrong if you think I'm going to pass up a sitting duck like Pazuzu.
here's a couple lines for you.
"Ever seen the human heart? It looks like a fist wrapped in blood."
we were all born with the desire to pick off the weak. it's programmed in us for better or for worse. some of us just do a better job of hiding it than others.

I want to know what people think of musclemayhem and the "groupthink" concept as well as Tim Wescott's completely unreasonable moderating tactics. >:(
I stopped posting there when I realized disagreeing with Tim was grounds for being banned. What Tim repeatedly called "fair moderating tactics". ::)
Actually, I still post there a bit, because lately it has changed. It's hard to keep down the people forever.

Getbig doesn't have the creepy internet fascism.
Bob Chick tried to introduce it here.
Didn't work.
Yeah - you couldn't disagree with a pro even in a respectful manner, and when you did, seemingly the bashing policy no longer applied (as you would get bashed like mad). ::)
Chad and Mike seem like decent guys. Even Tim and Massive G are ok, but altogether I'm weary of that board. Much as I am weary of ironage, and I am very upfront about saying that, even on those boards.
It is hard for me to say anything on ironage without risk of my comments being deleted. Also, a lot on that board refuse to admit that the only change between bodybuilders today and bodybuilders of yesterday is that they are simply more muscular. They honestly think Lee Haney would just look like a larger version of himself if he bulked up to 300 pounds. It is such a pipe dream I can't even believe people really think that. ???
Bob Chick was the post changer. It was verified. After being neutered for his behavior, he stuck around to gloat and tell us "if you don't like it, then leave", then he hasn't been back since.
most likely he's busy facing the fact that he's still 3 weeks out for a show that is only a week away.
gotta disagree with you here Matt, i would say it to his face absolutely gauranteed.
You think any of the readers here believe that statement? ::) You won't even post your pics, and you do nothing but post trash. I'm sure you would walk up to anyone and tell them that to their face. ::)
Sorry to say, 'Al-gebra' that you haven't made me depressed or ashamed of who I am or what I do. To paraphrase Bart Simpson, "I'm Ron Harris, who the f**k are you?" You could be anybody hiding behind that screen name. Maybe you are a 15-year-old kid that's never had a date and is picked on, and GetBig is where you have your fantasy life of 'owning' people and being a tough guy. I am sure it wouldn't be the first time this has happened online.hahahaha, i knew it would happen eventually.............. ..........meltdown.
Obviously I don't know who you are, never will, and neither will anyone else. You do sound angry, bitter, and jealous, for what reasons I don't know. Your words mean nothing to me because you are nothing but a faceless, anonymous screen name on a bodybuilding message board. I expect a whole lot of vicious bile back from you now, with a whole slew of insults about me. But I won't let them get to me. I have earned a reputation in this industry over the past 15 years. No, not everyone likes me, but they all realize that I have been around a long time and I'm not going anywhere. My genetics do suck, but I love training and challenging myself, so I will never stop training either.
Worry about yourself and how to make your life better. Worry about how you can have more success and happiness. Being a negative hater is not going to do anything to improve your life.
If you do decide you want to start trading insults with me, I won't. I'll leave the thread alone because I don't have time like that to waste. I have a career, a wife, two kids, and the gym to occupy my time. So you can go ahead and brag about how you 'owned' me or whatever, good for you! You win! Win what? You are an anonymous NOBODY.
hahahaha, i knew it would happen eventually.............. ..........meltdown.
lol where did 240 go? i showed his pic to some gfs...yuck they said.
Only queers have girls as friends....
lol...your his boyfriend right? you sitting on his lap typing ehh...

Meltdown.
You have to weigh more than 190 to declare a meltdown on Getbig. Them's the rules, bitch.hahaha! he can't even bench 190lbs...............own ed owned owned and owned!
Hon, let me explain a couple things to you. I never said I won anything, or that I even pwn3d you . . . although it's fairly clear to any impartial observer that you are getbigpwn3d. Don't worry, it happens to almost everyone.
And if I didn't get under your skin, you wouldn't be having this . . . "Meltdown" as sarcasm put it
As for insulting you, I don't plan on doing that . . . you're already doing a great job of exposing your pale white underbelly (I am, of course, speaking mostly metaphorically) for a good skewering from the others. I was merely commenting on the kind of behaviour you were engaging in.
And do try to be original, Rocket already used the "slew of abuse/insults" line.
EDIT: and i'm sure you've heard the line about the lady who protested too much . . . take a look at your posts, bro.
