Chick always have the right answer

Bob Peter still alive ? :o

ESPN style format with a plain blue wall and a crooked TV on the back.....FAIL

Peter is a legend in the BB community......he will surely be in the hall of fame one day... ;)

I was thinking along the same lines: brutal trying to look pro sports and shit.

LOL, ya gotta love the crooked TV on the blue wall effect.
Too bad it didn't have a slight crack with discolored area on the screen , like my gym does haha
Peter M is a good publisher and knows bodybuilding, but Bob is interesting and entertaining to listen to.
LOL< at around 15:15 Bob gives Branch and Trish props for the new baby, gotta love it.

As hard as Bob may try to legitimize bodybuilding as a real sport, it's impossible to legitimize an endeavor involving oiled up muscle men in sparkly thongs gyrating on stage to music. In the olden days they called these guys strippers not athletes.

BB is like the special olympics - you can argue as much as you want to, it will always be a competition for retards.

I have been fortunate to speak with Bob over the years on the promotion and growth of bodybuilding.
He has some great ideas and the extreme or silly stuff we see on stage is NOT what Bob is about or wants.
I will do my best to summarize some of Bob's better ideas when it comes to pro bodybuilding:
1. Drugs. No need to drug test, just keep things in check with strict judging standards.
If you look like some science experiment gone wrong or a 300 lb pregnant water buffalo you get last place, end of story.
* great idea and easy to do if the IFBB would strictly enforce the Manion "belly ban edict".
2. Posing. Only judge the comparison poses. The night show finals routine should be the fans and the pros should stick with more classic poses,and not dance.
3. Top shelf stage production and a professional run show with awesome physiques on stage will put butts in the seats.
Then the sponsors an media coverage will come.
If you see Bob working a booth at an expo GO TALK TO HIM. Bob is one of the best guys to speak with in all of pro bodybuilding.

If WWE pro wrasslin', "Dancing with the D list celebs" and "Who Wants to Marry a Midget", reality shows can be top rated TV, I see no reason bodybuilder can't get more media coverage.

:o @ 12:50, "better then ever" Bob, WTF?!

Meanwhile on The Ocho...

well I'm sure Joe appreciated it when you put it back in your mouth....
-
What didn't you understand about that?
Hi Bob, first of all, great show!
I understand that you have an opinion, just like anybody else, but I can't agree on this. When you compare his current physique with the one, since he turned pro (2005?), you notice several signs of his road of injuries (quads, tris, and prob also his back & biceps), so how can you say "his all time best"? Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the man and I respect him for his strong willpower, but he looks a bit like the Ronnie during his last 'O.

The Evolution of the Coverage is vastly Improved and you can Thank Bob Chicerillo, Dan Solomon , Shawn Ray , Flex Wheeler and Dave Palumbo .
Shows Like this are the Platform that ALL should applaud and participate or watch . From the Stage - to the screen and now Journalism -Shows like TLR, PRO Bodybuilding weekly and The MD radio with Shawn Ray are giving the Fitness Industry a professional outlet.
Peter McGough is second to Mr. Weider on Knowledge of the Sport you love and Follow. Congrats to Bob and the Producers to get such an Outstanding Guest. Giving Coverage that will only improve,entertain and promote the lifestyle of fitness.
Congrats -

I understand what you are saying and appreciate the post. No doubt Bob has valid suggestions on improving bodybuilding, but it is an upward climb. I don't have anything against Bob personally and I wasn't attacking him. He seems like an alright guy and I would be more than happy to have a conversation with him if our paths ever crossed.
The fact is because of being identified with drugs so closely, bodybuilding will never be mainstream...EVER Drugs exist in others sports but no other sport so blatantly advertises its drug publicly on posters and magazines. In many ways bodybuilding is a celebration of drug culture, especially among the more is better crowd, freak worship crowd. I don't care about this but a lot of people do care.
The small cult following bodybuilding has will never grow any larger no matter how many rules are changed, modified and implemented.
By and large, the schmoes, hoes and weirdos control and watch the sport. Bodybuilding has to cater to these idiots and shifty supplement companies because these are a types of people/groups who watch and sponsor their events.
Why is that a problem? If the audience will never grow what is the problem with just letting hell run loose and fulling embracing its freakishness? Give the audience what they want. What could possibly go wrong? How about this... Branch "lil goblin" Warren is the 2012 Arnold Classic Champ

you've gotta wonder sometimes though..
i don't follow bodybuilding at all. but when i did. it was flex, once a month, and taht was fucking it more or less. these days its all at the click of a mouse... videos, interviews, forums, youtube. you name it, its there for free.

That's a major issue in this industry. People try to do something positive in an effort to attract a larger audience to our sport as well as better promote it. Then, the people in the sport put it down instead of getting behind it.
Sad.

45 minutes talking about men in thongs?
Pass

Good first episode Bob. Bodybuilding need things like this. I actually watched all of it. First time in my life I spent more than 10min watching something bodybuilding related. Looking forward to more episodes with guests, pros, former pros and the likes.
ya'll can say what you like about Bob, he does cut a presentable figure/face/spokesperson for bodybuilding.

Bob yaps too much he should let the guest do the talking .

Initially i came here to learn about how to lift weights.
Now I come for the LOL's I do not even follow bodybuilding.
You however come here to have an uphill battle every single day about the justification of your 'sport' and how it is not drowned in steroid abuse, homosexual subculture and downright sordidness of many of it's followers and supporters.

Is that what happened to you? And let me guess....ever since you "stumbled" on those pics...you had a different, ah, outlook....right?

I'm pretty sure that it was fully erect ;D

Nice try, you can dodge the question anyway you want, but really it doesnt require an answer as its obvious.You obviously dont mind that your best friend posed for gay porn and did other more sordid activities, because you see it as normal in the bbing community, a normality that you yourself have participated in.
-
well I'm sure Joe appreciated it when you put it back in your mouth....
Touche!
Nice one, Bob. ;D
But seriously, are you gonna be a guest on our podcast, Ironradio.org, or what? Hell, I have been chasing you for over a YEAR. You're the athletes' spokesman, correct? Isn't it in BB's best interest for one of its main spokespeople to make himself available for interviews and the like?
If you know of my past work at MMI, etc., you know I am a former competitive bodybuilder who will always love the sport. Despite getting a laugh now and then on this board.
We have so few representatives from bodybuilding on the show. We mostly feature powerlifters, strongmen, weightlifters, coaches, doctors, etc.
Just as in my MuscleMag days, BBs always seem to make us in the media jump through hoops to get a dang interview or whatever. I phone up a powerlifter and he's on the show the next week. One call. And if he can't or doesn't want to do it, he simply says so and that's that. No hassle.
Everyone always says, Hey, do you guys hate bodybuilders and bodybuilding?
"Uh, no, we constantly ask them, and few take us up on the offer, so ... what do you want us to do?"
We have had Bill Pearl (one of my heroes), Labrada and a select few others on, and have always had a great show.
C'mon, Bob! What you say?
-
Is that what happened to you? And let me guess....ever since you "stumbled" on those pics...you had a different, ah, outlook....right?
I have a honest question about stuff like this. I'm interested in this matter as far as it concerns improving the appeal of bodybuilding. I could care less what he does with his personal life. What if a kid was looking for pic of Tom Prince and came across adult material. Is that good for the image of bodybuilding? And would you allow athletes to engage in behavior like that? And if they did would the be punished and if so how? Should there be a morality clause?
-
P.S. to Bob: I have done my share of work to promote bodybuilding. Consider my, oh, few hundred pieces written for MMI and various other mags, plus freelance material. I come here and laugh my ass off like everyone else, but if you listen to Iron Radio, you'll hear that we push resistance training (for three years now) in all its competitive disciplines, and as a wonderful physical activity in its own right.
That we cannot "reach" stars of the BB persuasion to be guests isn't our fault.
I recall working for a company that had as its sponsored athlete a former IFBB star. The owner asked me to ghost author his autobiography. After dancing around with this tool for MONTHS AND MONTHS, I finally told him and my boss to fuck right off with the project. Heck, I was willing to write this jackass's bio for no extra cash and have his name as the author and he couldn't bother to return calls, give me two minutes when I did get him on the phone, etc.
Sadly, this happened all too often. It gets old, fast.
The stories I could tell.
Like I say, when guys such as yourself, a leader of the community, dances around something as simple as will-I-or-won't-I, it becomes ever-more obvious why BB never gets anywhere beyond where it's always been. I used to really be pissed about this, but as I have aged, I have become more and more at peace ... even coming to a place like Getbig and chuckling every once in a while at a funny comment.

Sorry if you took offense but i dont play favorites in critisism. I have to be fair and balanced. While i understand its a pilot, first impressions mean everything and having a green screen background would have been better and dirt cheap to do.
I didnt say anything about the presentation which was fine. But being an actor, you should take diligence in the overall.
-

Bob knows i respect him but i hope he respects what i am saying isnt for trolling but as as a constuctive statement. A green screen, two studio lights, and a cgi background was all that needed to be done...cheaper and more professional than mounting a flat screen.
-
Hey Bob, I really enjoyed it. Peter is a class act and a wealth of knowledge.
Even in Shawn's new film, Peter was the best speaker on it.
I thought you two had a good balance.
Well done, looking forward to the next one.

Weve messed around with green screen, or blue in this case...i just think it looks fake and weird most of the time...ill just wait till I can build a set. Its the CONTENT that should be the key...not the background

CLPOGB
-
Pretty good start to the show, and Peter is a real historian when it comes to bodybuilding. He knows his stuff.
Unlike others who talk, Bob actually tried out different formats and different ideas. Good for him.
It is a little long, without graphics, but it is a start...
-
When you say it's an "ESPN style" show and it clearly isn't, that's a bit unfortunate. The "set" looks like a large closet.
The graphics and Dr.Who style theme music was cool!

The Last Rep Episode 2
-
Bob, are you guys thinking of splicing in highlights and vids and pics of what you guys are discussing? Would really add to the show. Or are there rights issues to worry about with footage?
-
the tv looks a little slanted. Also that damn blue dot for the power being on, you can turn that off in advanced menu on the TV please do.
take some hints on how to make it more interesting from this :
-
One of the funniest episodes of Seinfeld ever, and this is saying a lot. ;D

Thanks bro...we knew we weren't ready production wise...but I said fuck it...let's go. well work on things as we go. it's the content that's the main component and I don't like sitting around.
-
ep2 does look better
-
Is Peter going to be a regular on the show, or just a guest on the first 2 episodes?
-
I really liked Episode 2. It had great insight from both of you. I loved the part when you compared 50 Cent and Frank Sinatra, and Peter did not know who 50 Cent was, and you said, EXACTLY lol
-
What the fuck....why can't people see how much Bob actually tries to do for this fucking sport.
Whether you like him or hate him.....he has tried to do a lot of benificial shit for bodybuilding.
-
Is Peter going to be a regular on the show, or just a guest on the first 2 episodes?
Peter is a regular co host, and wie'll have occasional guests and guest hosts like Dan Solomon...

Bob-o is gonna be my guest on Iron Radio next week (www.ironradio.org). It'll be terrific to have him on. Dude's been around the scene for YEARS.
Thanks for accepting, Bob!

I asked if this letter was real , if it is real how do you explain Branch's victory ?
Date: April 13, 2005
From: IFBB Professional Division
To: All IFBB Professional Members
Re: SYMMETRY & NATURAL AESTHETICS
Montreal, Canada, April 13, 2005: With a mandate from President Ben Weider, the Professional Committee and a team of expert advisors recently evaluated the issues associated with muscular development, such as size, shape, density, separation and definition, in relation to symmetry and natural aesthetics.
Certain objective criteria are involved in assessing symmetry and natural aesthetics in competitive bodybuilding. Of great significance are the qualities of balance, proportion and the overall “flow” of the physique, including classic attributes such as a dramatic “V-taper”; from broad shoulders and a wide back to a streamlined waist and a flat, muscular abdomen. In addition, there should be balance between upper and lower body development, and harmony between the left and right sides of the body. These characteristics have been the hallmark of a bodybuilder’s physique for decades, and it is the intent of this Advisory Notice to reaffirm their significance.
Distended abdomens and distorted muscles negatively impact upon symmetry and natural aesthetics and, therefore, detract from the overall physique. Athletes and judges are advised that muscle size at the expense of symmetry and natural aesthetics will not be assessed favourably.
All inquiries regarding the IFBB Professional Division should be directed to:
Jim Manion
Chairman
IFBB Professional Division
P.O. Box 3224
Pittsburgh , PA 15230

Interesting that Chick has an MD contract but still posts on Getbig. I guess he is allowed since he promotes his show and the sponsors benefit. Well done.
How in God's name is the appointed pro athletes rep allow to comment on the pros re posing and how they look? That is surely a total conflict of interest.
Some of what he says can affect placings in the future, etc. Bob is usually spot on with his observations but I still think it is not right that he makes them while
holding that position. Oh, I forgot, no one else wants it and Bob has it for life.
The muscleheads are too dense to comprehend this.
-
I`m totally shocked and highly surprised that Vince Basile has posted in this thread.......very unusual indeed. :D
-
For the love of god don't ruin it with audience questions! There's enough stupid sows with questions from Morons. I like the format as is. Bob the host and former competitor and Mcgough the historian giving their analysis and talking bodybuilding. It's simple, it's awesome and it's just what we need. Not stupid politics and dumb questions from getbig morons. If I want stupidity I come to this board we don't need you morons leeching out to something that is good and helps bodybuilding.
-
Bob is as knowledgeable as anyone in the Irongame. He is spot on with his assessments of contests, judging and physiques. Not that I agree with everything but he is mostly on the money with his comments. That surely reinforces those opinions and doesn't help the competitors if what he says impacts on their placings. This should be transparent to everyone.
If you are supporting all the pro athletes you don't do anything or say anything to affect placings, earnings, etc. This goes for all positive and negative comments. This isn't rocket science but ethics.

It's plainly obvious what a joke it is that Bob claims to be "athletes' rep" haha. It's a title Bob gave himself to try to keep his name relevant in the game so that he can further his own personal interests.

I care about bodybuilding infinitely more than Bob Chick does. He sweeps the drugs under the carpet saying you don't have to participate if you don't want to. Oh, I forgot, he needs what he uses and has prescriptions for everything. LOL.
Pro bodybuilding sucks, is dangerous, is bizarre, and is heading nowhere. How can anyone support that? The organizations are corrupt, the officials are corrupt or incompetent and just about everything stinks in this underground cult.

it was 36 minutes in length...gotta pay bills, bro! 4 min of commercials is pretty standard
26 minutes with 4 minutes of commercials.
Sportscenter covers every major sporting event of the day/week/month and its only an hour long with commercials.
Just sayin.
Not knocking you. Good job. I can only imagine how tough it is to start a show like your attempting.
Kudos.

Some of what he says can affect placings in the future, etc. Bob is usually spot on with his observations but I still think it is not right that he makes them while
holding that position. Oh, I forgot, no one else wants it and Bob has it for life.
The muscleheads are too dense to comprehend this.
You are an ASSHOLE!

You are an ASSHOLE!
Basile is too stupid to realize that providing color commentary on a show has nothing to do with representing the athletes on a professional level...dealing with rules and regulations and the betterment of them all as a WHOLE.

Thank you Chick.
I asked if this letter was real , if it is real how do you explain Branch's victory ?

Re: SYMMETRY & NATURAL AESTHETICS
Montreal, Canada, April 13, 2005: With a mandate from President Ben Weider, the Professional Committee and a team of expert advisors recently evaluated the issues associated with muscular development, such as size, shape, density, separation and definition, in relation to symmetry and natural aesthetics.
Certain objective criteria are involved in assessing symmetry and natural aesthetics in competitive bodybuilding. Of great significance are the qualities of balance, proportion and the overall “flow” of the physique, including classic attributes such as a dramatic “V-taper”; from broad shoulders and a wide back to a streamlined waist and a flat, muscular abdomen. In addition, there should be balance between upper and lower body development, and harmony between the left and right sides of the body. These characteristics have been the hallmark of a bodybuilder’s physique for decades, and it is the intent of this Advisory Notice to reaffirm their significance.
Distended abdomens and distorted muscles negatively impact upon symmetry and natural aesthetics and, therefore, detract from the overall physique. Athletes and judges are advised that muscle size at the expense of symmetry and natural aesthetics will not be assessed favourably.

If bodybuilding is a sport and bodybuilders are athletes, then it has to be the worst sport to be an athlete in.
And you're their "rep?" hahaha

I agree 100% with this Manion judging standard edict from 2005 and what actually happened?
Pro bodybuilding has always had , massive , ripped muscle as the main deal. It is the hallmark of modern pro bodybuilding.
I prefer aesthetics physiques over purely massive, ripped ones, but that's me and a few others.
Branch Warren was in fantastic condition and his waist is flat with a decent V taper.
He meets the current ideals of what pro bodybuilding is all about.
I appreciatte the mass and freaky cuts he brings to the pro stage.
It has always been more of a muscle freak then ideal physique contest where freaky, ripped mass rules.
It is what it is....

Look, obviously Bob isn't perfect and the organization/media coverage of pro bodybuilding still has a long way to go.
BUT, Bob does a decent job dealing with the situation as it exists.
Don't forget some well respected Olympic sports like swimming don't have any viable pro circuit while bodybuilding does.

If we assume that bodybuilding is a sport, then which group of pro athletes of which sport have it worse than pro bodybuilders in terms of their financial reward, their health and their respect from society as a whole?
And by these measures, the gap between bodybuilders and athletes from other sports has worsened under the self-appointed athletes' rep's watch.

How about everyone placing below 6th at the arnold only making $2,000...........Im sure all of those guys spent more then that on the food alone for their contest prep.
Oh and bodybuilding isnt a sport. Its a competition much like a beauty pageant or the ones hawaiian tropics and hooters have.

common sense, Bob.
when does your term as athletes' rep expire? when is the election for the position?

The Arnold is a invitational. the competitors submit to be invited by their own choice. If it wasn't worth it to them, I'm assuming they wouldn't want to be there.

It doesn't expire, it's up for anyone to run for it at any meeting at Olympia weekend for the last 5 years....

Thats fine but theres an expo with something like a 100,000 people walking thru it all weekend and all the 7th place guy gets is $2,000 for all of his hard work.
7th in the world isnt too bad. Id think it would be worth more then what a middle class american makes in 2 weeks.
Honetly Bob, how many bodybuilders are making a decent living ( six figures ) from bodybuilding only. Not hustling, g4p, videos, etc etc.
Because to me if your not Branch, Phil, Jay, and maybe a few other people your not more then making a middle class living at best yet your face is plastered all over magazines, videos, websites, posters etc.
Just doesnt seem right.

What a pathetic and disgusting excuse for a human being you are Bob Cicherillo. You are the epitome of a user and asskisser who knows who's ass to kiss is this sorry spectacle called professional bodybuilding. Don't try putting me down as some dope who has no clue about life and individuals. For a guy who is a pro athletes rep you are a complete tool and I dare say incompetent asshole extraordinaire.

Is it any wonder noone likes you here Basile? does it bug you at all that you are looked at as nothing more then a senile bitter old joke? Like seriously is this how you wanted to live your "golden years"? Don't you have anything better to do with your life..I feel sad for you. If my life ever turns out like yours I will be devastated.

Listen to these pathetic anonymous assholes giving me advice. Most here can't show their faces and for good reason....they are afraid, not he-men.
Who gives a crap if one is 'popular' on Getbig! I am more concerned with justice, fairness and competence in pro competitions. How about doing drug testing?
Bob calls me IMBasile. Well, he is very average in IQ and his best achievement so far is to pronounce the names of the competitors as MC. I guess he is capable of running a corner shop and being an errand boy. He figures he is smart because of the limited intellects of the people he associates with.

Vince, you know who I am so let me give you some straight, honest talk here about Bob and pro BB, etc.
The reality is as it stands now,most of the current ticket buying fans want freaks and that means some drug use.
Granted, I "THINK" a top run drug tested IFBB pro show has more marketing potential but nobody knows for sure.
Thus, going natural for IFBB pros would be a gamble. I don't know about you, but I lack the funds to back a top natural contest circuit and don't know if I would be willing to take that chance even if I had the $$.
Bob is doing some basic, practical stuff to work with the system as it currently exists.
Trying to get a viable natural pro circuit going , might be as difficult as getting a 3rd political party going here in the USA.
All I know is the IFBB Olympia has been around a couple years longer then the NFL Superbowl, so something is going right .

Basille is a good guy, but like me he can get too idealistic and forget that BB isn't going to be practical or mainstream any time soon...if ever.

Please provide all the facts which support this ridiculous statement....
Okay Bob, which of the following do you disagree with:
During your reign as athletes' rep,
1. the image of pro bodybuilders (i.e. their respect) in the public eye has not improved
(and even among bodybuilding fans themselves, today's pros are often more ridiculed than admired);
2. while pro bodybuilding has always been relatively unhealthy and about drugs, now it's even more unhealthy and even more about drugs (and crap like synthol) than ever before;
3. the puny financial gains that pro bodybuilders as a whole have made PALE IN COMPARISON to the substantial financial gains that athletes in other sports have made during the same period.

Howard, stop being an apologist for Bob Chick and the sorry state of modern bodybuilding. With your attitude about wanting to see freaks on stage you condone the drugs that are used. Screw all of you. I want a sport that I could encourage young people to participate in. Can any father or even grandfather encourage sons or grandsons to take up bodybuilding and aim to be Mr Olympia?
Nope, it would be an unethical thing to do. Professional sports should and must be rigorously tested for banned substances. Offenders should be banned for life. No ifs and buts. The Weiders were too cheap to do what had to be done so swept things under the carpet. Ben devised a noble constitution with rules that dopes like Bob Chick either can't comprehend or don't want to follow. No banned substances, including synthol and breast implants for women.
The sport could be hugely popular if run properly and cleanly. As it is now it is more akin to a circus side show with freaks on stage and perhaps some in the audience. We need an overhaul of the whole damn system. Arnold was a governor of a big state for 8 years. He did SFA for bodybuilding. His famous show isn't tested for drugs and that is unbelievable. How can he of all people get away with this? Patsies, fall guys, and stooges like Bob C are mere errand boys who really should be put on a barge with all the officials and left adrift outside the 200 mile limit. Good riddance to them.

this thread would have been as tedious as the video if it wasnt for crazy old man Basile melting down. Getting all foamy at the mouth can't be good for your blood pressure :-\

1. Well Vince, I am still going enjoy working out and going to shows, regardless of drugs use in pro contests.
Extreme steroid use never has or never will be part of PERSONAL bodybuilding lifestyle .
I'm not going to let my personal feelings on steroid use keep me from attending pro events.
2. Once again, Bob Chick is simply dealing with the current scene as it exists and tweek it for the better.
In theory I agree with you Vince but Bob is dealing with the actual situation and you are not .

No, Howard, Bob is part of the problem. His job is to discredit critics. That turns him into a stooge and asshole all in one.
I don't go to contests anymore, and I don't buy the magazines except occasionally. I am not paying money to see Branch Warren!

Vince, do not hate the player, hate the game...I love bodybuilding, i love the freaks that look like cartoon characters...You are fighting a losing battle, and making yourself out to be a hateful person....This website supports present day bodybuilding...Why are you here? Please do not say to enlighten us...There is a great board that i go to every once in a while that appreciates the golden era of bodybuilding...Ironage.. .
You can not turn back the clock...Trying to do so is foolish, unwise, childish all wrapped into one...

Episode 3, I like Peter's last word about the horrid posing routines today. On a side note Bob, you keep mentioning that the Arnold seminar was at the Convention Center and this year it was brought to the Vet, but it's been at the Vet for many, many years.
-
Bob,
In my opinion, the competitors looked quite subpar at this year's ASC.
I think the pros in the '90s were far better and most, if not all, of the guys that competed this year would have struggled to crack the top 10 during the 1990s
Do you agree? If so, why do you think the physiques have declined? If not, why not?
-
Hey chick, after the Arnold classic branch went over off stage and u interviewed him, not sure if it was before or after he said a little something sweet to his baby daughter, anyways he said "I will one day be Mr. Olympia" ... Did u get a clear look at his eyes? If sO do u think he was high on drugs? ( besides steroids of course :D)
Do u believe this out of proportion ball of lump shit shape branch brings to the stage can ever land him 1st place in the Olympia???
-
The whole thing would look so much better if it was filmed with a green screen backdrop allowing them to add whatever graphics they like digitally. The dynex tv in the background has to go asap.

I respect your decision to no longer be active with bodybuilding contests .
BUT, there are plenty of fans like me, who will buy a ticket to see guys like Branch Warren and the other pros.
I don't want to be rude Vince, but since you no longer support bodybuilding, you can't expect the sport to adopt YOUR ideals.
No offense, but the IFBB would go bankrupt if they tried to cater to fans like you who didn't even attend contests?!

This show still going?
