its just very foreign to me because i am intensely private person, i just dont like people know my business...........i dont have a facebook, i dont twitter
i one of those few people who would turn down being and actor, or a spot on a tv show
im not saying anyone has to take it to that extreme, thats just for me...........but this attention whoring, this desperate need for attention...........i just dont get it
for girls i guess i understand somewhat what is going on...........before the internet...........a girl like that girl in the video would have NEVER gotten attention, or been told she was attractive.............. .the internet spawned a whole subculture of women who are now considered pretty, but are not beautiful in the traditional sense of the word....because they plaster themselves all over the net........and fill different niches ............like the monster ass thing, or the fat girl thing, or the big tit thing..........., and because there are billions of people in the world, some desperate guy is bound to look at their video, or comment that they are attractive
its like a whole industry of sub-models.girls like tila tequila, those other girls with websites, those big assed girls parker and g-thang post............never before was there an outlet for girls like that to get attention.........only movie stars and tv stars annd runway models with a specific aesthetic got attention
the internet makes it possible for even mediocre girls to get attention, because with all the idiots surfing around, someone is bound to find them pretty
It's not only restrcited to sub-models; you have now an entire world made of blogs and whatever internet pages that is expanding at a fast rate and the worse is that people do pay attention to it no matter how irrelevant it might seem to you or me. Here in France, there was this famous wase of a girl (I don't remeber what shitty job she was doing before) who started a blog about fashion. Just posting pictures and her aesthetic judgments. Girl didn't even bought or wear those clothes because she could'nt affordSelf appointed critic suddenly became famous once an executive from Dior or whatever other brand saw that there was actually a good bunch of people (mainly women with the same social profile as her) clicking on her blog. Girl has now become an authority in fashion, gets invited everywhere, gets paid a shitload of money to write articles, etc....Reason is not that she's just such a fine critic, reason is expensive brands have found a new way to market their shit to women who cannot really afford but now are ready to sell one of their children to wear it because they "relate" to the critic.

Chuck Sipes was a fucking lumberjack and chopped wood in between contest prep. Do you think Jay or Ronnie would ever be able to handle shit like that?
That's not my point. I'm tlaking about what Bb fans fantasize about. Of course, most of the old timers relied moslty on their work ethic even if they did add drugs to the process. Nowadays, drugs come first.

I don't know if the guy has really a problem sayng goodbye to his competitive years and in that case he's even more stupid than I thought. At least, Yates knew when he was done and accepted it though he always said that he missed it like hell. Or it's just a way to cash on his status somehow maintaining it alive. Either way, it's not good, he's either delusional or he doesn't know what to do next.

I thnk only the hardcore (and blinded) Bb fans would like to walk around with Jay or Ronnie's physique. Fuck, on a normal day, I think it would be a bitch. Those old school physiques seem womehow attainable (even of it's not true) and still functional as well as aesthetic. So to me there's no doubt I'd take that a hundred times over any modern Bber.

i dont understand the mindset of people thinking that they need to broadcast their lives over the internet..............i dont understand this need people have for attention
It's called post-modern society. In western countries, the frontier between private and social life has been altered. People have more and more problems feeling acknowledged so anything goes. If you find only a few people to relate to you, which you have a hard time finding wheter it's in your professional environment or in your family, you're good to go for at least another 24 hours. People want to be "individuals" nowadays, everybody is pretty sure they're "special". The fact that they act like sheeps doesn't seem to be a problem.

Yes, basically. But it's still stating that race has a genetic basis. The anti-Hitler camp usually tries to say that race has no genetic basis at all. This article is pretty much stating that race is genetic.
Shit, I wouldn't even know where to start with this. Is there such a thing as pure race to start with? You should learn a thing or two about migrations through history. Second, race may have a genetic factor but is that enough to define entirely what a "race". The concept of race actually took a long time to exist and need a long process to be built. And I don't see how the fact that Hitler may have been part semite makes his anti-semitic politic any better or worse. Just a few questions but I could go on and on.

these over night celebs and athletes who make a quick 5 or 6 mil much of the time end up worse off them joe public as far as money goes
5 million sounds like a lot of money, and it is..............but after lawyers, PR people, agents ...........adn the government gets their cut.........that probably realistically ends up being 2.5 million probably even less...........because the tax rate alone on income like that is almost 50%...........its probably more like 2 mil
so he has 2 mil and says "im rich".........and because of his ego, hey he is a celebrity now...........he starts spending like a celebrity.............bu t the problem is as quickly as he became famous, the public will forget about him.........
so he will spend and spend not realizing that he is only gonna get 2 years of high income............but now he has a mansion, and cars, and his mom has a house............and now he is filing for bankruptcy
if he were smart, he will squirl it away,.....and open a chain of tanning salons or something turnkey like that...........because hsi fame is gonna be over before you know it
Very accurate. He's not even gonna get 2 mills out of it, probably around 1,5 after all the parasites will have fed on him, not even mentioning the people he'll really need like at least one good tax attorney, a decent manager and a decent PR. It's a lot of money for someone who hasn't really done anything but it's like winning the lotery, it's not a matter of merit, there's hundreds of thousands of idiots like im going to castings, photo shoots and whatever hoping to get that opportunity. Most of them end up working at a pizza place. here's a good chance he will also in about five years. If you don't learn through you work how to manage money it's as good as gone.

I guess the only question in my mind would be whether or not the long-term usage of things he is taking are bad for his health or not.
For once, I'll agree with you. He might like what he's doing but that's a different question. Is to healthy to go down that road? High chances that it's not. Most reasonable people wouldn't take that risk I think specially ater such a succesfull run as a competitor. I don't know exactly how much Labrada's "crappy supplement" line is worth but from what I've heard it's no spare change. I'd take that any time over guest posing for dim witted gym nerds and schmoes.

He looks like a parody of his former self. The fact that he still is making a pretty good living out of it explains it but is it a good reason enough to play the game. A good number of guys made a decent transition to bigger and better things. Not him it seems. The fact that he can't do anything else for a living doesn't really make him look like one of the smartest ex pros.

yeh i certinly wish him all the best, he has a battle in front of him
thats why i dont understand why these guys do not lift smarter.........you know your using way too much weight when you tear ACLs on BOTH sides at once......you have so much riding on a tear, yet they push and push
Sure but who knows why he trained that way. Maybe wasn't that responsive to lighter training. Or he did well that way 'til that particular moment. He obviously was careless somehow. But the same was right for a guy like Yates (to a certain extent) who wasn't dumb (at least not for a Bber). Others made the same mistake and never fully recovered or didn't recover at all. Some will think that the hardcore attitude will give them the little extra graininess that makes a difference (Yates, Ronnie or at a lower scale Branch).

sure yates did suffer from some injuries later, but at his peak he still had calves, and his delts were wider than his gut. his arms werent the biggest, but thats due to that huge torso making everything else look small, much like haney. some call his chest flat, but it was good enough, great back, not the best shaped quads, but very developed, he had forearms, hams.. At least he was complete (later with injuries, not so much)
nowadays, its quads developed beyond belief, kai's hams are the size of a sedentary individuals thigh. the gut can stick out farther than the chest even holding it in, and the delt/waist ratio is irrelevant the arms are huge and if they dont match the torso's girth will be accentuated using oil calves are not relevant forearms also a forgotten bodypart vascularity, abs and striations are there, but no hardness, deep separation/graininess, shredded, ripped look, last seen on the mr o stage circa 99 if everybody dropped about 50 lbs, we'd see the return of a better quality competitor, bbing progression has reached the point of diminishing returns
Great Post. This time I mean it.

 blk and white photo shopped pic. forget kai who doesnt have 1 O win yet. i see why arnold hated yates. this is him dieted down...no photoshop BS! after Ray pissed Ronnie off by telling him to give up bbing and focus on his law enforcement career which he was already doing and turned him into a bber...there is no comparison between yates n him. Ronnie kills him in sooooooooooooooo many areas except calves and pretty abs vs Ronnie's 4 pack. horribel biceps and sub par triceps no good quad sweep flat craig titus chest shit clumped together. if ronnie had went into maintenance mode at the end instead of still going heavy and tearing up everything...he would have been 9-10 MrO. this douche was falling apart by his 4 MrO and was clearly beat by Ray at least 2 times. You can only say the 2001 Jay was better than Ronnie. and i tried to watch blood and guts...just another workout video. his training partner was the interesting one. Great post. Probably the most idiotic one ever posted on a monday and there's a good chance it can take the cake as the most idiotic of the week. Congrats. Typing disabilities on this site seem to have something to do with tne unability of getting Ronnie's cock out of one's mouth.

BOY, NUTREX must be kicking themselves in the ass that they signed this never-was.......it was literally like a month after he came to the US and signed all these contracts that he fucked himslef.
now they HAVE to (even they dont want to) stick with him probably all the way until the time he steps on stage again.....because the would look like sucxh total scumbags if they dropped him like they should.
lol...they thought they were going to be doing all those "HARDCORE UNDERGROUND MUTANT FREAK" training ads and videos with him.......instead they are doing "road to recovery " "videoblogs" with a man who can barly link a string of words together......HAHAHHAHAH HAHAH....they mus tbe psyched
BTW....he is one of the ugliest men ever to waddle across the face of planet eaarth
He sure is ugly and doesn't sound particularly bright but he has the kind of humble attitude that Bbers seldom have and seems like a genuine nice guy. Pretty much the Lennie Small of pro Bbing. Just wait 'til he breaks some naughty girl's neck. I hope he will recover but I really doubt it, that's a nasty injury.

Have to agree with GH15 on this (shit!). I guess almost all ex pro Bbers are either still on the sauce or on some kind of HRT (which is just a figure of speech). Otherwise, I'd guess they look like obese fucks. Labrada was one of the smartest Bbers ever. I'd be ready to bet that he placed the way he did while doing much less than a lot of gym rats and certainly less than every other top competitors of his time (see the only supposedly drug tested 'O). He's probably doing just what he need to look that good. But he's still on.

Labrada in 89, Shawn in 90 for sure
they were the best onstage those years respectively
top 20 bbers of all time for sure
Shawn had the conditioning in '90 but Labrada was better as far as proportions, balance, symmetry are concerned. Never thought Ray could really overcome the fact that Labrada had (apart from his height) once of the best structures in the history of Bbing (if not the best).

After a nice week-end, it's always nice to see that Hulkster hasn't been to able to keep his idiotic judgments to himself. As much as I like Shawn Ray, he never had the Labrada's structure and proportions. When in shape, Labrada beat him all the time and for good reasons. The only thing that stopped Labrada for being at least twice 'O was his height, end of story and a lot of people who have been at the 'O in '89 and '90 and saw the thing live will still tell you that Labrada could or should have been taking it. I never heard one person say the same about '94, only people judging from pics (and not even videos) make up that story. Bbbing was really much better back then and Levrone was at his best in '92 (he looked great also in '95 but Yates once again showed up better). Yates was not that different from '91 but there's no doubt he was the best at this contest. He just changed the face of Bbing (not necessarily for the best) in '93.
