Apparently Palumbo is still obsessed with discussing Bob
-
Seems to me that Bob made some valid points.

Yeah definitely. I think that Chicherillo will be doing 1 video per week. I’m going to watch his video’s more often than Palumbo’s or Nick Trigilli’s.

Same here....I always liked Bob....have nothing against Dave either, but Trigili........nah!!
-
Hahaha, Chick called Trigayili "the CNN of bodybuilding".
-
Much improved audio and video.
:D

A little known story about Bob Chick....now he knows who I am, but we don`t hang out or anything, and he doesn`t know me very well as a person, and vice versa.....though we have crossed paths quite a few times.
When I had Cancer I was on Facebook ( I rarely go there but had to vent)...I was on my pity pot crying the blues, and I was very depressed and feeling sorry for myself and up pops Bob who gave me a long inspirational heartfelt speech which actually inspired me to pull up my skirt and put on my big boy boots and deal with my problem instead of being a whiny bitch.....after all,I created the problem.
My point is that he didn`t have to do that or say anything at all to me,I`m an insignifigant dust mote in bodybuilding,but Bob cared enough, and was kind enough to do that for me.
That goes a long fucking way in my book.
There`s also a ton of great people here who helped me immensely.....they know who they are.....way too many to name them all.
Sorry about the rant. :)

Bob is a fucking dork

That's pretty cool, wes. Are you Facebook friends with Bob?
-
Bob says he doesn't speak for the IFBB, yet the background logo for his podcast says "IFBB & NPC news direct from the
tap source."
I like Bob, but you can understand the confusion there.
Example:
I HATE when UFC referees say "Now HOOK 'EM UP!" [touch gloves]
Referees should NEVER give orders that aren't absolutely compulsory.
Referees should ONLY tell athletes to do things they are required to do.
Athletes are NOT required to touch gloves, and refs should only ever say "If you WANT to touch gloves, do it now."
That's it.
Likewise, there are valid reasons why people look at Bob as an official IFBB voice. For starters, that's what he calls himself, lol.
I'm reminded of a communication I had with thcocksucker Jim Manion:
Gaspari Nutrition hired a company to remove all Gaspari copyrighted videos from YouTube. Then all my videos even showing a few seconds of the Gaspari booth got removed.
I had gotten all the necessary permissions, my IFBB press pass, etc.
So just to be sure, I e-mailed that old cock Jim Manion.
His response:
"I highly doubt vendors will want you around their booth with a camera."
"I highly doubt"?
FUCKING cock.
How about "I'm not sure."
And ALL the promoters wanted me taking videos of their booth. It was just more promotion for them [free advertising].
But I e-mailed Manion expecting to get an "official" response from the IFBB. And the ONLY response was "Permissions are granted from the promoter and booth vendor."
Period, end of.
Instead, the old POS gave his opinion, which AT THE TIME, I took as valid, and being from the IFBB.
Ultimately one reason why I stopped covering IFBB events is because I didn't want to be bossed around by that old fuck.
Jim Manion enjoys having power over bodybuilders who could break him in two. John Romano said that, and he's right.
What I learned from that is to only take orders from people absolutely in charge. Even Arnold's opinion on who should win the Arnold Classic doesn't matter. It's up to the judges.
Also, during fake pandemics, health officials have no legal authority to give orders.
So Bob is right - he doesn't speak for the IFBB.
HOWEVER...you can understand the confusion.
-
I watched the whole video.
Bob makes good points. But I do think it's reasonable for people to think he represents the IFBB, even if that's not an official role.
As with any job, people get promoted if their views are in line with the companies they work for.
Bob didn't do it intentionally [well - possibly], but he had views in line with the values of the IFBB, and has had tremendous success as a result.
So...thing is...people do think of Bob as an official source, even if he has never explicitly said that.
I think that can be cleared with by just clarifying that.
Bob should take it as a compliment that people look at him as a trusted/valued source of IFBB news. And he does sort of brand himself that way, so...
Palumbo putting words in Bob's mouth = not cool, if true.

Sometimes Chick gets the elevator and bhanks gets the shaft.

Bob mostly won this one, Palumbo pokes at him a lot, and was doing it a lot the last episode. The Big Ramy thing seems like it could be mostly a misunderstanding. I doubt the IFBB would be direct like that with Ramy, and Bob is a company man, he isn't going to tell people to retire. The "Bob told him to take time off / rest", and Ramy took that and other online opinions badly seems likely.
The audio is a lot better, but could be cleared up a little more, it talks a while to get that right. Also could be a little shorter or he needs to bring in a unobtrusive sideman to help keep things moving a little. You don't want to be like Trigili with multiple rehashes of the same thing through the video.

Bob’s favorite flavor of Vintage Blast is Mirage Mango

Bob’s favorite flavor of Vintage Blast is Mirage Mango
Trigilli’s daily vintage blast commercials were more than enough of a reason to not watch his videos. And, he didn’t ever generate his own content. He just re-played and recapped other people’s videos... and gave his “interpretation”. As if we needed a long winded explanation of EVERY single bodybuilding conversation on YouTube.

I tried watching the video. I had to turn it off. That show is garbage.
For some reason, the only person that I find interesting is Valentino.

Any recent pics of Bob’s wife? Used to be hot.

Bob on what it means to be a freak.

Don't be sorry about the rant. Bob is not a bad guy. Is he perfect and without sin? Of course not, none of us are.
He is just like every one of us, trying to make a splash and do enough to be remembered for. Frankly, I like the fact that unlike the vast majority of IFBB pros, he actually has a strong command of the English language and carries himself well wherever he goes. He honestly represents the "sport" well.

He`s a great guy in my book brother.

I think that Getbig should definitely promote Bob’s YouTube channel.

Excellent grammar-ing by Trigili here.
-
I like Bob, but he is does have a knack for making horrendous calls on bodybuilders.
Few years back he tried to argue that Hadi should never make the move from 212 to open as he'd get destroyed. He's Mr Olympia now...

That actually happened in the 90’s too. After Dorian retired, nearly everyone believed that Flex, Nasser or Levrone would be the new Mr Olympia
Then Ronnie fucking smashed the living hell out of entire field at the 1998 Olympia. And he eventually won 7 titles. He proved the experts wrong.
Flex, Nasser, and Levrone won a combined zero Olympia titles.

At the time, was there good reason to believe he would do as well as he did?
Personally, I felt Hadi was bound to make the top four. Honestly, I did not see him winning. But I never thought he would get destroyed.
Regarding Dennis James' point - did Big Ramy look the same in both 2021 and 2022?

At the time no one had him winning MrO but people believed he'd stack up well in the open. Bob had him not even making the top 10
Hadi was a "big" 212 guy. The other 212 guys would all watch him weigh in as they couldn't believe someone so big could weigh 212. They'd joke that he must have hollow bones. He also sacrificed like 10 lbs of muscle to make weight. He is wide, has monster quads and is roughly the same height as guys like Bonac, Dexter and Branch. The argument that he'd look out of place in the open class were weak.
Hadi could also bring in a level of conditioning that's rarely seen in open bodybuilding and he had a crazy vacuum, both wow factors. If you knew all this or had it pointed out to you even by guys (Jose Raymond) who competed against Hadi, would you still argue like Bob did that Hadi wouldn't even make top 10 at MrO and should stick to 212?

Wes, go to 11:37
Bob shared some of his thoughts on what Ramy could do in order to improve.
I think that everyone on Getbig would agree with what Bob had said.
Of course, Trigilli disagreed

I don’t think Bob used much oil, so he may not be well versed on what can be achieved there.

Thanks to Mitsuru Okabe’s in-depth coverage, I literally saw Bob backstage consuming “synthol candies” with King Kamali in ‘02

Damn that’s a Pro Qualifier NPC contest that Bob won. That would’ve landed him a top 5 spot at the 2022 Olympia.

Valentino did a stint for some people 'story time with gregg valentino' or some shit. It was absolutely hilarious him telling his stories about shit he got up to. Disgusting but funny at the same time. He's a great story teller, imo.
The one about that goth chick in her warehouse apartment was hilarious. Gregg's met some fucked up people.

Bob fucking crushed him !!
Can you say owned ? ;D

Bob just needs to put Nick's gay for pay videos and schmoe wrestling videos on loop for his next video.
-
-
He calls Platz a liar and then says how he barely took anything. No gh, no tren. These guys are all the same.
-
Chick calls out other guys on downplaying their doses and then claims he did some bare minimum cycle. Drugs are just the finishing touch after all.
-
Chic can't help it if people hate him because he's beautiful.
