Title: Shawn Ray - praised for narcissim - visors - bodybuilding aristocracy
Post by: Schadenfreude on November 29, 2023, 02:56:58 PM
He often gets praised for being the unfiltered, unapologetic bringer of truth. But really he is just a major league shit talker who never applies even 1% of his high standards of physique and character "evaluation and critique skills" to himself, the one person who needs it the most ::)

By the way what is the deal with the visors ??? Is he an on duty marksman? Is it yet another symptom of his unchecked narcissism?

A bodybuilder has a bad case of narcissism? In other news the sky is blue.

The sunglasses thing has been addressed plenty of times although it could just be BS. Laser eye surgery made him very sensitive to light.

Gets surgery because he doesn't want to wear normal glasses, then wears glasses for mentally handicapped instead. Guy can't stop winning.

I agree vastly overrated. Excellent physique , one of the best ever? Not even top 20. Very good at marketing himself as something more than what he was which was a good bodybuilder. 2 pro wins in 12 years of trying  ::)

Shawn Ray walked the walk with 14 Top 5 Olympia contests! Then afterwards, he is staying relevant by going to contests, having his own events, on various talk podcasts, and sponsored by various companies.  On top of that, three awesome kids, and a most excellent wife! Kudos to him!  Like him or not, he tells what he wants to say, which is cool.

Been friends with him for a long time now, though, so a little biased.

Obviously he’s been controversial during his time on the scene, you either hated him or liked him, no in between, but overall he’s kept his head on right. I think it had a lot to do with John Brown and his tutelage.

Most of the bbing imbeciles and losers bash him like that Muslim aceto is because he says the things that most wouldn’t say, he calls out the drug usage most lie or stay silent about.

Post by: oldtimer1 on November 29, 2023, 05:49:37 PM
One of the best ever. He also actually trained really hard. Check out To The Extreme video. It was basic hard training. No he isn't the strongest bodybuilder out there but you can't watch that tape and say he dogged a workout. I see videos of these current bloat muscle "super stars" and they train very lazily on mainly machines.

This thread proves once again how superficial and low iq the average person is. You can be the biggest PoS in the world, but you will still get fanboys defending you because you used to look great in a thong decades ago. Pathetic and sad.

Do you know Shawn Ray? Have you ever spoken to him? Do his words and actions hurt your livelyhood in anyway?

I'd argue letting someone like Shawn Ray inside your head is far more pathetic and sad.

Gotta agree, Wes. In terms of how good a bodybuilder he was; and his early interviews bigging up people like Francis Benfatto as inspirations: I think he had the right mindset for what bodybuilding was all about. And he did always respect the people that helped him; such as his choreographer/posing coach and others that helped him along the way. People assume he's always badmouthing every fucker but I think it's more complex than that.

His personal/family life: seems to me that he's raised some decent kids - isn't one of his daughters some famous/semi-famous singer with a huge following?


It's a shame he got a little fat. Would have preferred him to look just skinny and toned vs fat and bloated but at the end of the day it's his life - but doing bodybuilding chats/appearances online - you'd expect him to at least trim up in old age and say he eats healthy rather than looking fat.

Thought getbig was a bodybuilding site but when bodybuilders are talked about they are trashed. What did he do to butt hurt people? I know he is vocal over gurus who advise their clients to take too much drugs. I know he is the target of hate when he points out how they are dying and getting ill. Yes, I know he took steroids.

Thanks,as Joe aka Coach alluded to earlier in the thread,he said Shawn not very approachable..........we ll I  met him on 3 occasions..........once in Orlando and twice in Pittsburgh.

Never talked to him in Orlando but in Pittsburgh I took lots on pics of him eating while I asked him questions (pretty rude of me looking back today but had had no problem with it.)

Then during the contest (Maters Nats where I was competing and he was guest posing,) he crammed into the shitty little area where they had us pumping up and shot the shit with all of us for at least 45 minutes or more.........good guy in my book,he could have told me/us to fuck off but he didn`t.

I gotta` find all these pics and get them on here.....I  got some pretty good stuff.
