Title: Suggestions and ISSUES concerning MR.GETBIG 2006.
Post by: The True Adonis on July 13, 2006, 10:55:58 PM
This thread is for issues or concerns about Mr.Getbig.

I have one issue that needs to be addressed.

Pictures.  Pictures need to be taken at the same distance for all competitors in order for accurate size comparisons.  Perhaps Lift Studios,Tre or some other photographer can help give guidelines on what is the best distance for pictures.  Perhaps they can also give input on how to take pictures with explaining things such as camera height etc...

Good call TA.  IMO, maybe we should take height out of it- make all competitors the same height, for comparison purposes?  

Maybe as the show nears, we can have a primer on the right way to take BBing pics from some of the masters here.  The show will be won and lost on pics, so consistency is of monster importance.

The prize money is well over $1000 for first, $600+ for second, and places #4-10 are starting to get some serious gimmes.

Exactly what I was thinking.  Since there is a lot on the line here so far, it would only be fair to the vendors that all pictures be accurate and fair.  I want some experts to help us with this.

Pictures can be deceptive for sure. That's why you see guys in their kitchen who look amazing and guys on stage who look like balls. Stage lighting is bright and wash people out. When you take pictures inside with artificial lighting it can distort the image and create funky shadows. Also if you're not tan enough it won't show your definition.

My suggestion would be to take photos outside under natural light. If not get where you have the best lighting indoors and against a solid wall. You'll want someone to take the photos for you and not try and set up a timer and run and pose. Every one should have at least one friend who will be willing to do this for you. No bathroom shots or webcam shots or mirror photos.

Naturally if the person takes a photo with a professional camera it will make you look a lot better then using your disposable one.

Case in point -

Photo 1 - A photo I took of Phil Heath 4 weeks out from his Jr. Nationals debut - outside - at a distance of 10-12ft but using a zoome lense and cannon digital rebel...

Photo 2 - A photo of Phil 3 weeks out from USAs indoors in the gym - same camera but a couple feet away.

Just try to get the best camera available and the best lighting.

Do we need to let you know we're entering far in advance?  If not I was thinking about trying to diet down, see what I look like and then enter.  As I've never tried dieting I have absolutely no idea what will happen. :-\

What about just for Getbig Personalities only.  That is key.  Otherwise this wouldn`t be Mr.Getbig.   Also, what about an competitor division for those who have competed before or not....Just throwing some things out there.  I think we should have a set date when all the rules are ammended.

hahhah...Look at us...More organized than an IFBB athletes meeting.

Before I go to sleep- longest day of work in a long time-

i gotta give mad props to the companies that came through bigtime for getbig members:

TrueProtein.com - for the TON of protein, creatine, and supplies (AND CASH!), you guys are great.

www.GetAnabolics.com - for the stacks, shopping spree, and bodyfat measurement tools - you guys are great.

Oliver - for the $350 cash prize - you the man!

Tommywishbone - for the $100 Don Ross Muscularity Award- you the man!

Muscle mafia & Keith - for the fistful of T-shirts - you the man!

Extreme Labs and GetItOnNY of getbig.com - mad props for the TON of supplements!

So far we have about 12 confirmed competitors. About 4 confirmed today. I guess the fear is a bunch of outsider npcs jumping on board, but so far this is not the case. If alot of people sign up(npc's) we could create a "Mr.Getbig Classic" for those that want to see Arvilla vs. Adonis, Adonis Vs. Goudy, battle it out etc. But of course, this will require more prizes - something that certainly doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility based on how things are going. Npcs are welcome though, they will only make this a bigger contest.

The addition of more classes will depend on the demand for it.

As far as deadlines, well the Mr.Getbig will be held on the 22 and the Mr.Natural Getbig will be held on the 23. Deadline for pics will be on the 20th.

In the meantime we'll implement some of these new ideas regarding photo requirements, blurring competitors faces to prevent judging bias, etc.

I think that there should be some kind of time at Getbig requirement, to enter. Such as 6 months or something. I've never competed, and I can't say I'm comfortable with the fact that people who do compete will jump in last minute and steal the prizes. But whatever.......

Also, how are you guys planning on keeping the users from entering the natural divison? Let's face it, there are lots of Matt T's out there (POS), who have zero fucking character or ethics, and don't care about lying.

Also, I wanna thank the people who are making this happen. The people providing all this cool stuff. You guys kick fucking ass!

Easy.

Only members who regged prior to 2006-01-01 are eligible.

Don't make it any harder than that.

That's the beauty of only having only having members who've been here for awhile in the contest.

POS's are well known, and won't be able to get away with it.

Side note: I'm not a fan of having a big prize for this contest. It takes away from the purpose IMO. That's just me though.

Also, I don't think the judging panel should consist of newbies like Arvilla, Wolfy et al.

sarcasm, Goat, flower, INSOMNIA, Geo, Dubbs, Bigger Business, Shawn Ray, freeagain and rocket.

That would be my picks for a judging panel.

I agree that people participating needs to have been registered on Getbig for a good while. I'd say 1 year is an absolute minimum. Unfortunately this means that both sarcasm and Oliver Klaushof are disqualified. But rules are rules.

As for ~flower~ being a judge, I disagree, although she's been a member long enough, she would be better qualified judging dogs.

Hmmmm you're right Zack, anyone one of those people on your list could have been on getbig since it's inception under different names.  So unless you know each and everyone of them personally and have been following them from the start, I guess their "current" status of registration should stand.

Only legit date for competitors would be if they were registered by the date that the idea of Mr. GetBig was put into play online.  If somebody 2 or 3 months ago, why penalize them?  They were registered before this idea came about!

I strongly recommend there be a "Best Poser" award. I suggest each competitor video record their posing routine and email it for official judging. I believe this would bring the Mr. Getbig to a more professional status. Anyone agree? I'm already working on a posing routine for preparation for the possibility of there being one.

yes - we have $200 and a free Rusty Jeffers DVD for the person who submits the best posing routine.  I'm sure we'll work out a second and 3rd place for those too.  posing routine, i'd guess, should be 2 minutes or less.  Send me the video clip and I'll host it.

perhaps this is the section we let the world vote on?  might be cool to let the GB audience decide who the best poser is!

I strongly recommend there be a "Best Poser" award. I suggest each competitor video record their posing routine and email it for official judging. I believe this would bring the Mr. Getbig to a more professional status. Anyone agree? I'm already working on a posing routine for preparation for the possibility of there being one.

This is going to be hilarious!!!

My posing routine was inspired by none other than Kamali himself. I've already sent away for the autographed body armor and helmet!

F*ck that idea!

perhaps this is the section we let the world vote on?  might be cool to let the GB audience decide who the best poser is!

Fantastic idea!

Yah if one were so inclined they could dress up as a gladiator and pretend to be a conquering hero.  That is too gay for my tastes,but the creativity could go far and provide some great entertainment.

Good call TA.  IMO, maybe we should take height out of it- make all competitors the same height, for comparison purposes?  

I don't know...If you make a 5'3" guy the same height as a 6' guy you're kinda distorting reality.  I think you should make them equivalent to their real world proportionality - as if they were actually standing next to each other on stage.  That way you will get an accurate judgment of their size and relation to the other competitiors.

You have to do a little math...

For example, a 6-foot (72 in) guy would be made to appear 5 inches on the computer screen...and a 5'3" (63 in) guy would be 4.4 inches.

The scale for this example is   1:0.06944  (or 0.06944 inch represents 1 inch in real life).

That's in proportion.  Let me know if you need any help with the scaling. :)

I may not post a lot but i've been here since 240 was 140

and.......i've actually been at at the judging tables for over a dozen bodybuilding shows.

not for nothing but this "contest" is going to turn out to be a who takes better pictures contest/popularity contest between the members.  That is why real bodybuilding contests sit judges out when a competitor in a specific class is somehow related to a judge, either personally or as a trainer/client relationship.  

Not to mention, there are no testing measures in place for drug testing ***chuckle*** or weigh ins.  How would we even know if the pics are current?  If you all are that serious about your bodybuilding then maybe you should get into one of your local shows, and just post the pics from you on the stage winning the overall.  

Mr. Getbig in my opinion is just going to be Mr. Big Ego.  This board is a magnet for internet trolls, and couch potato fatass middle aged nobodys who maybe used to work out and now they go to the gym twice a week to do some benchpresses and curls, check out girls (or young boys), and tell people how things were "back in the day".  Then they go home and sit their lonely ass in front of the computer and eat 6 detour bars while surfing porn and getbig.com, turning the bottom of their keyboard tray into something that resembles the surface of a krispy kreme (which is certainly better than having them procreate).  Meanwhile, there are those few that actually try to use the board for actual workout advice, maybe some nutrition tips, and honest evaluations of supplements that other people have tried.  People that follow some sort of regular workout regimen and are trying to better themselves.  

I am certain that this does not encompass more than a small fraction of the people here, but what is it that this contest is going to really establish?  Bragging rights?  Some meaningless title and gear money for some juicer??  The bodybuilding community laughs at getbig enough already, and Kleenex has not made enough tissues for all the crybabies that will come out of this as losers.  Granted, that will probably provide more than infinite amounts of ammunition for meltdowns and flaming threads about the outcomes, who screwed who over...not to mention all the new pics for the rest of the trolls here to photoshop and make jokes about.  I guess it may be worth it solely for the entertainment aspects of the results.

That's just what it is - great entertainment and endless bashing material! 

I don't think the competitors are taking themselves too seriously.  This contest is purely for fun.  But you have to admit...there are some pretty SERIOUS prizes.;)

Yeah.....and can you be more specific?  The only thing I am melting here is my 14% bodyfat.  The AC is off today and i am sweaty after squatting your mom.  It's funny that you call yourself Adonis.  This is what wiki says about that.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adonis

Something that springs up quickly like a leafy vegetable to be admired by the women.  Unfortunately withers and dies before it's time.....

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry lee lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do

Ding dang a dong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Everytime I try to do it all now baby

Give me my time, with all my power
Give it to me all again (wow)
Ding a ding a dang a dong dong ding dong
Every where I go

Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?

Ding ding donga dong dong ding dong
Dingy dingy son of a gun
Half my time I tell you baby
Never am I all for sure
Why why why why why baby
Sicky sicky from within
Everytime I stick my finger on in ya
Youre a wild wild little town bitch
Now how bout ding a dang dong dong dong ling long
Dingy a dingy dong a down

Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?

In my dang a ding a ding a ding dong
A sticky sticky son of a gun
Ding a danga danga dong dong ding dong
Why why never know
Why why wack a dong a dang ding dong
Then you take it on the bill
Ding dang dong dont dong
Whoa!

I wanna love ya!

Why why why, why why darling
Do you do you tell me to play?
Half the time I talk about it all now baby
You know what Im talkin about I said
Why why why itll
Ticky ticky ticky ticky
Son of a gun
Ding ding dong a bong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun

Bing bing bang a bang a bang bing bong bing a bing bang a bong
Binga bing a bang a bong bong bing bong bing banga bong

Bing bing bang a bong bong bing bing binga binga banga bong
Bing bing bang a bang bang bing bong

Aarrrhhhh...
