Getbig.com is now basically comprised of one guy from england with a dozen screen names constantly ranting about "lib-turdz", the "jab" and Biden shitting himself. Other than that you got a few long term members obsessing hard over bhank( super creepy). And that's what the place has turned into. No bodybuilding, no lifting. WTF?
-
I would say its evolving. Bodybuilder at heart, but with banter, discussions about pussy and ass, Bitcoin, politics, wars, finance, current topics of the world, etc. I like the mix we have here. :)

Sweden here.

It has strayed from bodybuilding but I do enjoy the pictures of the thick ass chicks. If someone new randomly finds this message board on the internet they probably will think it's members are detainees in a mental hospital that has computer time and a Universal lifting machine in their fitness room.

It started with bodybuilding for all of us.
Back in 2003 when i joined, i never would have imagined it would be like it is today, but we are 20 years older now. Many things have happened and changed in life.

One European with a dozen screen names posing as an American right wing conservative and the other half dozen middle aged members with homosexual crushes/obsession with bhanks isn't "a mix".

A mix is a blend, so yes, it is a mix.

"Lifter", we discuss BB in the "Positive Board" mostly.
Hope you are doing well brother...

was it ever daffodil?
read carefully the "gossip and opinions" part, and try to wrap your tiny mind around the thought that there are other subforums here where you can feed you lust to look at oily men.

theres more to getbig than the G&O go and look in the other sections, you wont be missed here

Most of us are bodybuilders/gymcels at heart but grew up as the "sport's" pretty much died post-Cutler.
Those that didn't grow up are on places like pro muscle with AIDS and heart failure in their 30s.

Bodybuilding sucks right now, a tiny pile of mediocre boring guys vying for a spot in one or two contests.
Bodybuilding gossip? It sucks too, it's not like you have a bunch of guys in a few gyms waiting to rat someone out or clown them like the old days.
Training? After a certain age, you realize 90% of it is simply showing up, lifting things up and putting them back down.
Diet? Same sorta thing. Consume less than you burn, and you'll lose weight. Add in a few tweaks via drugs and nutrition too.
For the most part, the board is old, we've moved on from being bodybuilding tadpoles.

Because I enjoy the off topic conversation, and the occasional nugget of bb gossip that gets shared.

Body building has been a train wreck for quite some time. Its pretty hard to look away from a train wreck
-
What's there to talk about regarding bodybuilding? You eat right or diet and lift weight as many times a week that you want and maybe do some cardio and that's it. I mean you can talk about how long you should do a rep or whatever but most of that stuff is BS anyway and doesn't matter.

1, Try starting some interesting Bodybuilding / lifting Threads - if posters
like it they'll join in - that simple.
2, If you don't like some threads / posters ignore them - alternatively
find a forum you do like & post on there.
HTH
;D

Bodybuilding has always been a subculture of a sport. It's near naked men posing in thongs barefoot to music oiled up for cheering men.
In all seriousness it attracts the insecure. Men feel more like a man if they look like they could kick ass having muscles. If you gave most getbiggers a choice of having muscles or being a twig purple belt in BJJ that could kick ass they would choose muscles.
Fans of bodybuilding also have a warped delusional view of what an in shape body is. Imagine if you saw a champion sprinter, running back, soccer star, Olympic lifter or MMA guy posing in a bodybuilding contest. They would be laughed at when they are the real athletes. So many guys in bodybuilding don't even compete but will risk health to have muscles. They have their stash of syringes, pills and vials in their house that they bought out of the trunk of a drug dealers car at the gym. They rationalize the risk and only put up pictures when they are on drugs. What they look like without the assist isn't something they are proud of.
Don't get me wrong. I'm in awe of what hard work and drugs can do. One thing for sure I never forget what I'm actually looking at. It's temporary muscles. Contrary to belief here I don't care if you are a fan of bodybuilding drugs and use them to impress the clueless. Just don't expect me to be in awe of your bullshit.

you know what you´ve turned into a real asshole.
you think you know everything about training ranting on about your 1 set training but you look like a guy who´s never lifted.
Your so called "Ranger training" ( at 65 ) & your so called i was special undercover cop & stilly carry ..is honestly embarrassing
you´re an old washed out drunk :D

Girls and sons who have not been loved by their fathers seek attention once teens and adults to compensate for what they didn't have originally. Fathers either left them alone, or were distant most of the time and not encouraging them.
Some even despised them which would shape their personality and the way they they interact with others for the rest of their life.¨
They are extremistic in everything they do, always looking exaggeratly for attention (Hello Goodrum), and have troubles adapting to society's rules, because they also have troubles defining their own identity and respecting authority and hierarchy.
Also boys who got picked on by others during childhood and adolescence -often sons without a father figure- try to compensate by lifting weights, to develop muscles and survive in the male world.
They're insecure because they're girly, childish, feminine having been raised by a single mom.
They lift obsessively hoping it will transform them into men, to compensate for their lack of influence from a father figure that was not there. Unfortunately they can get as big as they can it doesnt cure their insecurity and who they truly are, how they grew up being raised by a single mom. They re no as manly as other men whatever they do, and they often have a big lack of masculine presence they don´t know how to balance, hence often being borderline homosexuals while trying to get their manhood back thru various manly activities (mma, cars, weight lifting etc).
They are often the ones that, in order to get respect from other males will go the steroids route to get even "bigger" attempting to cure their insecurity , but being natural not being "enough", they still feel "too small", insecure, amongst other males. The lack of a father figure also often means they didnt have guidance to continue studies and are often working shitty manual jobs.

Are you trying to insinuate that the great professor deltoid is one of these girly men ?

Wanting to be strong and muscular is never a weakness, some say. More than insecurity it's a natural masculine idea, it doesn't have to be driven by insecurity I don't think, not more than any person is insecure.
And I would think wanting to learn to fight might be more insecure, the bodybuilder doesn't care that he will get his ass beaten ;D
-
I’m here to talk about pussy hot bitches assholes and such been here since Craig tightass got busted.

Professor Deltoid is a gimmick that is upset that he can't draw the way Main Event Hankins can. Hanky is the number 1 delusional heel in the history of the internet.

Great Post... I've met a lot of assholes too in martial arts more than in any gyms I've worked in.
Some people do say Judo for the competition side of it as I did years ago but in my opinion the most negative people are your runners.
They usually have serious issues with anyone who lifts weights.
Some do use a gym to train certain muscle groups but overall their physiques are usually unbalanced.
I have a mate who´s a very serious runner & he trained for a while in a gym, all he did was bitch about the bigger guys in the gym & he himself couldn´t do one chin up in my home gym.
not saying all serious runners are like that and some have maybe decent legs & Torso for a non weight trainer ( some do train with weights ) if doing triathlon but most normal runners have weak torsos.
as far as weight training goes a guy i trained with back about ´95 did serious weight traing, karate & still was a good runner because he passed 22 SAS Selection.
He did cut back on the weights when he re-joined his old Battalion before going for selection, concentrating on weighted runs..etc.

I joined, then lost my virginity and realized I didn't need to train any more.
I just go out, in my twink wear, sit near a group of laydeez and start licking my eyebrows suggestively.
Fuck big muscles - all you need is a tongue stretcher.

Getbig is the original Twitter. It's just bodybuilding focused. The ratio between bodybuilding and everything else we speak about has shifted. Mostly because there's a lack of new young members. They're on other platforms. Message boards ain't it. The comment sections are heavily moderated.
Anyway, Getbig is still a bodybuilding forum.

It`s only a bodybuilding forum if you want it to be.

Compared to twitter getbig has the advantage of being small. People replying to tweets by the thousands is incomprehensible to me, your little post is drowned out by the volume, totally inconsequential and unlikely to get any replies or discussion so why post it.
I think forums are still worthwhile, more personal 8)

I really do believe that BB boards were a majority back in the late 90’s / early 2000’s
Remember Anabolex and the others back then? But GB rose to the top

That's because all of those other sites were about advertising, money, and censorship. Muscle Mayhem rivaled Getbig for a few years (I was on both) but it didn't have lasting power. Getbig is an institution (mental)

Do you have any friends in real life man? I can go gone for months but when I return you are always right here interjecting and desperately hoping someone will notice.
You get little dopamine hit every time anyone here replies to your comments. MOST of the time you are simply ignored and I know that for you it stings.
Thats not healthy Shawn (sp?) I don’t want to pick on you anymore. I have a feeling that there have been MANY nights that you got to the end of the bottle and damn near pulled your own plug.

There were many nights where I saw the end of a bottle. However, that hasn't been the case for 20+ months now.
I swear you post these comments, thinking you are going to get under my skin.....

So you DONT have any friends in real life? Just jokes man. I don’t want to get under your skin, there is too much fat there anyway!! 😆
Seriously - I used to be creeped / grossed out over why a morbidly obese adult man that obviously has never weight trained would be on a BB board. Now I realize that it’s just a place where you can pretend to be accepted and have friends.
Got meetings but I’m sure you will reply with some lame meme. Dont take offense if I don’t see it.

Every year, the same question gets asked, from the beginning to now. Every year, there is always a new crop of people / characters that make it interesting or just piss off someone. But less people are 'vested' in forums, given the popularity of Tik Tok, Instagram, etc.

I think some of the lesser versed people on here probably don't realise that getbig has always been a forum where people have questioned if the members actually lift.

I fear weve strayed too far from the way of the thong.

Less vested? Might want to check with Taffin, Rambone, BB, etc
GB PoTY recipients can hold their heads high in any of the 5 social media platforms.
It doesn't work in reverse I can assure you.

Credit where it's due, hanky's one of the main guys keeping things bodybuilding related.
That war he had on stage with his bowels and that melted candle guy to finish 3rd was a thing of legends.

Putting content aside for the moment, a good indicator of a forum's health is the posting volume
* From this perspective its clear that the era prior to 2015 was peak active getbig
* Over the 2015 to 2018 period there was a rapid decline and things were potentially looking a bit dicey if that trajectory continued
* But from 2018 things have stabilised pretty decently at a floor of around 180k and this year will end up being no different
2011 - 2014*: 693,896 ave.
2015: 472,927
2016: 325,433
2017: 280,424
2018: 187,178
2019 - 2021: 185,764 ave.
2022: 207,980
2023: 230,446
2024: 175,460 (ytd)
Long live getbig.com
* getbig full year stats only go back to 2011

That's why we are all old on here. Too old for TikTok.

That's why we are all old on here. Too old for TikTok.
I can't understand the TikTok and snapchat stuff. I guess I'm too old too. The other social media platforms aren't set up for a back and forth conversation. Even if you end up in a discussion in the replies under a post it isn't something like a message board where you can search by topic. I guess reddit is something like a message board but it is heavily censored. I prefer this old school layout.

Definitely. I've been banned from several sites. I wouldn't last a day on TikTok.
Never used Tik Tok or anything like that.
Maybe I'm just a grumpy old fuck..don't know 🤣

That's why we are all old on here. Too old for TikTok.
;D ;D ;D ;D

There will be some restructuring going on in 2025. One of the planned changes is to install me as a moderator.
20 years in the making......like fine wine.

Every year, the same question gets asked, from the beginning to now. Every year, there is always a new crop of people / characters that make it interesting or just piss off someone. But less people are 'vested' in forums, given the popularity of Tik Tok, Instagram, etc.
Very difficult for forums to compete with Meta, Alphabet, Tik Tok and such. Their endless budgets and marketing power have caused a decline in forums worldwide, regardless of country or subject. And cheap broadband internet with near endless download possibilities has also contributed imo.
Photos are "old", it's all short videos now.
Once users have switched, most of their time goes to "new" social media, rather than to traditional forums alas.

Nothing lasts forever, but I hope getbig stays for awhile longer. Don't kill me if this is a retarded suggestion, but the kids and everyone else is addicted to "likes" so what about something like that here? :D I often read posts that I like but I have nothing much to reply to it and it might be nice to leave a "like" just showing I liked or agreed with it, make who liked/disliked a post public. Of course everyone would weaponise a dislike button and leave bhanks with a million negative score but several posters would love it. Maybe a frociaggine suggestion. :-\ :D
Some types of forums will probably exist no matter what, call them comment fields or whatever, and you have reddit and you have quora and many others. I know they are looked down upon like, 'those guys on reddit are idiots and losers and aspies and betas and there is suffocating censorship' and so on. I don't really use those too much but there's bound to be good stuff there as well.
Stlll haven't looked at tik tok except some pec bouncing tik tok link provided by BB :D Like I said, don't really understand the huge attraction of twitter/X. I didn't really believe it but thanks to Musk I saw some linked examples of previously bannable posts and that is good although there obviously still exist a lot of censorship and nowhere are you really free to say what you want, even if you try to make it nonoffensive, some topics are not ok... seems like X is for the most powerful to drop little dramatic announcements. I saw someone comment that Indians have ruined a lot of X, because you have to spend ages scrolling past Indian comments of for example 'fire emoji + heart + Israel' and so on and there is no 'block Indian posts' feature. I know on IG on pro bb channels the Iranians do much the same, 'Hadi is best + fire emoji + heart emoji'

I spend way too much time on Quora. I used to get suspended regularly but have figured out how to insult without getting in trouble. ;D
