I didn't see a "small waist" relative to his size--didn't have a good V-taper. He looks like a guy with average genetics, loaded up with syntholled shoulders (He must have read "The Dark Art of Syn" by Flex Wheeler)...and his back is a weak bodypart, and he lack quad separation.
Either you are trolling or you don't recognize history---Dillett, Fux, Ruhl, Federov, Wolf all were these big unstoppable juggernauts that were supposed to win and were better than everybody, turns out, that they were not. And Ramy is another hyped big guy. Once you break him down, he is not very impressive. Size wise yes, he is big, but break him down...
Breaking Rami down seems like exactly what you aren't doing. You didn't "see" a small waist? Holy weasle-word, I think you're looking for reasons not to like him. (Makes me curious to know what you think of middle-easterners in general.) You aren't recognizing that this guy is remarkably balanced and just as symmetrical as any other top Oly competitors. And he's bigger than everyone else while being very hard. What strikes me about all the guys you've listed (except Fux, whose career was cut short by a dramatic injury), is that while all were big, none of them has the balance and symmetry of Rami. Even your criticisms, overstated as they are, are minor. His back compares favorably to most of the Olympia's top guys and if it looks weak to you, it's only because it's not as freakishly developed as most of his other bodyparts. It's not weak, though: Weak was/is Wolf's calves, Ruhl's triceps, Heath's width, or Jay's waist. And lacks quad separation? -- When you have unprecedented quad sweep like Rami, a little more separation is just icing on the cake, imo. (Besides, as you may have noticed, extreme separation seems to be a quality that isn't as necessary today as it once was.) Who cares where he comes from? This is bodybuilding and bottom line, this guy is already an elite pro who should be in the top 5 at his first Olympia. He could bring up his calves and could maybe lose a couple of pounds to be even sharper but when he does that, I see him winning the Olympia.

You can troll it in any which way you want and it still won't have a leg to stand on.
That original thread had members calling the kid an abomination, a retard, a blemish in the corner that other parents will cut out etc..
Members complained and it got removed. In turn, E-kul made another thread with the same picture and decided to "help" the little guy out (because you know, disabled children should be treated like charity cases) by photoshopping his person closer into the picture.
It's an invasion of privacy, as clearly the rest of the kids had their faces blurred out, but the disabled child's face was left to open view, clearly taking his right away for mere mockery.
You want to play Devil's Advocate, then so be it. E-kul and I made an agreement, he knew the terms and he AGREED to it.
We've also spoken via Private Messages since and other things are on the table. If he pleases, he can end it.

P.S. Are you even a female? Your tone is downright brutal in your posts. Your selection of phrases, words and even grammatical composition is perfectly in tune with that of a male's writing style. You don't write anything like a female would.
Both should stay. OMR, if you see posts that violate Ron's rules somehow, then just do your fucking job and delete them. How hard is that? Also, wth is with the questions about bikinislut's gender? Writes like a man instead of a woman? What kind of offensive shit is that? (Why do you care? Why should we care?) You are being a petty jackass, it seems to me. Many, many, many posters are just as or even more offensive than E-Kul. To tell you the truth, I think that's why a lot of us come here.

Wait, what? Sorry for being so late to the game but all this shit is over that retarded class pic where the kid in the motorized wheelchair ("Timmy!") was maybe a little too far from the rest of the kids? WTF? I've seen way, way, way, more objectionable shit posted here. I hope I have this wrong because otherwise this soap-opera shit seems totally unnecessary.

I am happy to leave. If this is what GETBIG has become, I will gladly venture of into the sunset. truth be told, I have felt a strong compulsion to move on for quite some time. I have a long history with bodybuilding, first picking up the weights over 25 years ago. I loved it, collected all the magazines and came close to competing as a young man but chickened out at the last moment. I remember as a teen I got in fights with workmates defending bodybuilding when they all called it for queers and losers. I eventually dropped any desire to compete, but just loved working out in general, feeling strong and healthy. This obsession culminated with me opening a small gym but shortly after giving up the dream when I realised it wasn't what I thought it was. Since then I have turned 40, I have seen many unpleasant truths and cold facts about life. I no longer sheepishly play along with the crowd and am proud of my ability to stand firm in the face of hostile opposition.
Sadly, the members here at getbig have become weaker or I have simply become too strong for them to argue against. Having a majority vote me of this site gives me great comfort, knowing that even the infamous Getbiggers couldn't tolerate being manhandled verbally. If anything, it is a sign that I have outgrown getbig and I have accomplished a level of insight that is too painful for most to endure. I see those who gleefully vote me off as admitting defeat, and yet I wasn't even trying to conquer.
I shall finish with some words from a great man.
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. Albert Einstein
Don't go. The collective IQ of this place will go down, if nothing else.

He'd certainly be less irritating.
He's IS a little irritating. What's more irritating, though, is how so many media talking heads are doing their best to talk shit about him. I'm not talking about criticizing his patriotism which is certainly a debatable subject, I'm talking about how they keep referring to him as "High school dropout Edward Snowden". It's fucking retarded; First, he was making $200,000 a year (which most COLLEGE grads would be happy to make) and 2nd, If he's this high school dropout loser, then what does it say about the competency of the intelligence outfit that let him have so much access to so much info in 3 short months? (And this is the big problem I have with the gov't gathering so much info about people who've done nothing wrong; The gov't is letting too many have access to the info.)

If you ignore season 5.
5 was OK. I think it seems worse than it is because it followed the ridiculously good seasons 3 and 4. The main storyline about the faked serial killings did suck but there was a lot of other stuff that was good. I wanted to stand up and cheer when Slim Charles killed Cheese: "That was for Joe."

Tv shows are crap as a format.
I don't watch any of these series... smallville, sopranos, entourage, 24 etc. Time consuming and non rewarding, in the end every tv show becomes stale, loses it's original cast or as in 90 % of the cases, they become lazy with the script. Dexter was fun for one season maybe.Prison Break. I got sick somewhere in the third season. The first season or seasons are always better than the inevitable "finale" which all series sort of speeds to.
Lost? Prison Break? Entourage has lost it's appeal as well, it's was the shit when it came out but with the long wait between seasons you expect something bigger and better but get the same rehashed jokes and characters after 6 months and it isn't as fun the second time around. TV shows are crap as a format and in it's form a show is rarely thought out have an ending, that's why the ending is never good. It's like a drug addiction, mindless numbing..
Comedy shows, on the other hand, are completely different. They don't pretend to have a thought out plot, they work because they just make fun of contemporary subjects so they can last through their writers humour and their casts age.
Family guy is good. how i met your mother and big bang theory are good but still they were better when fresh.
South park is an amazing show. i can't think of any other series who gets increasingly better and more brilliant after season 10(!!!)
Watch The Wire, then. Story arc is tight over the the entire run of the show. Shows what's possible with format in a way that other shows rarely even try much les pull off.

Re: Bostin's drug protocol, I'm sure that most of us Getbiggers appreciate this kid's uncommon honesty even though most of us also think that he doesn't have the kind of muscle development commensurate with the amount and type of stack he's been using.
Most of us think (rightly) that Bostin either doesn't know how to train or he's just a very poor responder to BB training & drugs.
Here's the thing, though: This is only what Getbiggers think. I'll say it again: This is only what Getbiggers think. The sad, sad thing is that there are a bunch of young BB'ing newbs out there who now have a new hero to worship and emulate. Dollars to doughnuts this guy's email and facebook inbox are filling up with questions from young and naive beginners who are emboldened by this guy's open admissions of his drug protocol. I just hope that not too many newbs blindly follow this guy's lead. BB'ing already has a shitty enough reputation with the general public. I'd hate to see what would happen if some kids die and some congressman or news program gets ahold of this video. Could be bad.

I'm not going to weigh in on the gun debate except to say that I have waaaay to hot a temper to trust myself to own a gun. Sooner or later, I'd be chasing someone with it for no good reason.
Shooter in the vid had very good situational awareness. Looks to me like he spotted the carjacker's car slowing down as it went around the corner just before he got into his vehicle and that's why he was so ready for the confrontation.

Just like when you supposedly bought a boat and started a similar thread about how great your life is going? Was that "advertising and marketing"? So obvious you're struggling for self esteem.
Yeah, but it's pretty harmless. Reminds me of a lot of the facebook posts my female FB friends make.

People don't seem to understand this. At the time, everyone getting married could never imagine being divorced and having their life turned upside down.
They later find out the bitter truth, and feel like suicidal losers.
I think marriage and religion compliment each other. Traditionally, marriage was a commitment, to your spouse, and having/raising children.
It is a responsibility people assumed as gospel, and weren't willing to let their personal feelings or emotions get in the way resulting in breaking the family with a divorce.
Yes, many marriages may have been less than stellar, but in all reality, this lovy dovy bull is just hormones running rampant and mind fucking you into doing things you wouldn't in a rational state.
All relationships will turn dull, and routine after a while, no matter how much you try. What keeps them together is more responsibility brought on by kids etc...
Going to work, paying the mortgage, bills, and keeping up with your kids never ending demands and hissy fits will keep anyone busy for years to come.
I don't know where i'm going with this, but the solution for today's divorce rates, is basically having the proper understanding of WTF they're getting themselves into, and having realistic expectations about marriage life.
Given the systematic deconstruction of conservative Christian dominant values, and culture, is making people less adequate for such commitments. You see this more and more in Europe, but America hasn't caught on to fully realizing this yet.
Christian values? Maybe. Christian culture? Who needs it? Agree totally with your 2nd to last paragraph. Realistic expectations and making sure you and your partner have very similar values is most important. It is necessary to have a strong commitment to your common values, but Christianity needn't be a part of it at all, imo.

Did she wash her hands between steps two and three there, B?  I posted this here before, but t sums it up for me: http://www.avoiceformen.com/women/an-anonymous-letter/A letter to a future daughter-in-law, possibly my own: A few years from now you’re probably going to want to marry my son. Perhaps you already do; he’s kind of hot (if I’m allowed to notice) and his potential is quite obvious, if I do say so myself. He’s only twenty, handsome and well built, and when he lets is hair grow long it’s thick and wavy. He has his father’s beautiful eyes, and my dimples look much better on him than they ever looked on me. Also, he’s in the military; he has finished his deployment and doesn’t expect to go overseas again, so he’s now preparing to start earning college credits. I don’t hover so I’m not certain, but he’s probably going to major in engineering. Or possibly actuarial science. He surfs, rides a motorcycle and a mountain bike, and he maintains a classic car. He’s essentially a decent guy; pretty much everyone likes him or loves him, and respects him. Girls hit on him regularly. I’ll be surprised if he ever marries though. You see, his plan is to wait until he’s at least thirty, and therefore he will spend the next decade meeting, dating, working with, and probably sleeping with, the product of sixty years of American feminism. I’m pretty sure he won’t find many women worth considering for marriage. How about we look at it from his perspective, m’kay? Here’s what he sees: Half of you have been raised without your fathers, yet only a few of your fathers deserved to be kicked out of your lives. You were raised by the women who kicked your fathers out, and perhaps by a string of step-dads and “uncles.” Those women, your mothers, taught you their values by example. Not an auspicious start. Most of the rest of you were raised by fathers who knew damn well that if they displeased your mothers, they too could be kicked out of your lives according to your mothers’ whims. They knew full well who had the real power in the family; they quietly accepted that “mother knows best.” You were raised in a culture that permits, even encourages, women and girls to always push for more; not necessarily to do more or earn more, but to demand more and to expect more. You were punished far less severely for your transgressions than were your male peers. Indeed your female peers egged you on to be even naughtier, and to be defiant about it. It’s Grrrl Power, after all! The boys of your acquaintance were expected to give in to your shenanigans and your **** tests, and those who didn’t were labelled “problem children” and medicated. Usually, a boy’s best bet was to shut up and grovel, and maybe win your approval. They weren’t allowed to go around offending the Special Snowflakes, were they? You were raised in a Disney Princess Culture, where every girl is entitled to her Prince Charming. And if she can’t find one, she has the Grrrl Power to kiss any old frog and transform him into a Prince. You were raised to be a slut, at least through your twenties. Go to college. Establish a career. Don’t get married until your late twenties or early thirties, but DO NOT under any circumstances, repress your sexuality. Your foremothers fought hard for your right to be promiscuous with no consequences; don’t you dare let their efforts go to waste. And since you’re not looking for a husband, there’s no need to sleep with only “good” men, is there? Cuz badboyz r hawt! And nice guys are boring. And hell, you have plenty of time to ride the best cocks you can find – thanks to modern medicine, you can get pregnant after menopause if you want, so there’s no hurry. You are expected to waste your youth and your beauty on hot guys who treat you like ****, then give your leftovers to the guy you’ll promise to love, honor and cherish for the rest of your life. Wow! How lucky is he! My son looks around and he sees bitchy, arrogant, malicious women. He sees spoiled greedy women. He sees financially irresponsible women. He sees lazy, undisciplined women. (Yes, even in the military; they had to lower the standards so more women could “serve.”) He sees overweight women wearing unflattering clothes that display muffin tops and rolls of fat, who drool over his biceps while telling him that “looks shouldn’t matter.” He sees slutty women who dress to attract men, sleep with the hot ones, and denigrate the less attractive ones by calling them “creepy.” He sees “competitive” professional women whose primary tools for getting ahead are affirmative action and the unspoken threat of sexual harassment lawsuits. He sees demanding women who expect men to bow and scrape for the privilege of a smile. He sees utterly irrational women whose “self esteem” is obscenely disproportionate to their proven worth. He sees entitled women who expect romantic dates and expensive gifts, yet have absolutely nothing of value to contribute to a relationship. He sees women who flirt with their hopeful, geeky JustFriends, juuuust barely enough to keep them on a string while simultaneously panting after Alpha Hotteies, then run crying back to those JustFriends after being pumped and dumped by said Hotties. “Oh, why can’t more men be nice like you?” (Answer: if they were, no woman would **** them.) Look around you, ladies. You see the very same women, don’t you? Many of you are these women. You think this is normal and acceptable because “everybody does it.” It’s not. There’s something you should know about my son and his peers. They’re not gay, they’re not lazy, they’re not stupid, they’re not unambitious, and they’re not weak. They’ve merely figured you out. They know that you don’t give a rat’s ass about them, and that you see them as nothing but providers and fantasy sex objects. They are wise to the game and they’re done playing by your rules. They have the same job titles as you and they take home the same pay, but they work longer hours and they do harder work; they know that their productivity is why employers can afford to hire you to sit a desk and shuffle papers. They know that if two drunk people have sex and both regret it the next morning, only one of them is a rapist. They know that “My Body/My Choice” actually means “My/Body/My Choice/Your Wallet.” They know that the minute they sign a marriage license, everything they own is your, but nothing you own is theirs (except your debts) and you can walk away with cash and prizes, at any time, for any reason. Or for no reason at all. They’re calling Bull****. A few years from now, you’ll begin asking yourself, “Where have all the good men gone?” You’ll look down your noses at all those guys playing video games and living like frat boys in cheap apartments, and you’ll just know that they could be “doing so much better for themselves,” if only they would Man Up. You’ll shake your heads in wonder at their “immaturity,” or their “wasted potential.” Here’s a little secret. (Yes, a few men are immature or weak; they’ve had the masculinity abused or medicated out of them, mostly by their single mothers and grandmothers.) But most of them? They no longer give a rat’s ass about you. That’s right. They don’t need to work hard and earn a good living. They have no intention of fathering and supporting any children, and no desire whatsoever to earn your approval. You go buy your own four-bedroom colonial in just the right subdivision. That’s what your Grrrl Power is for, isn’t it? So you don’t need a man? Many of these men will even go so far as to quit their jobs as soon as they begin to “earn a good living.” They don’t want to make enough money to pay taxes. They don’t want to pay the salaries of millions of useless (and mostly female) government employees, and they don’t want to finance the personal choices of Empowered Women. Those Empowered Women can buy their own damn birth control. These men refuse to feed your Beast. And you, and your government, and your church, can’t cajole them or shame them into giving a ****. Men are dropping out, ladies. Chivalry has died of blunt force trauma, in a beatdown administered by Grrrl Power. Your mothers, your grandmothers, your schools, your family courts, your sociology professors, have spent the last two generations telling men that the are unnecessary and unwelcome. And now they’re leaving. (Although they’ll be glad to **** you while you’re young and hot, since you’re offering. Aaaaand then they’ll move on to younger and hotter sluts. Why the hell not? It’s free.) This is the gift that feminism has given to you -Independence. Scary, lonely, bitter, potentially impoverished Independence. For yourselves and any children you may have. Most of you won’t blame feminism though; you’ll blame Male Privilege (which doesn’t exist.) You’ll blame The Patriarchy (which always gave women a better deal than it gave men.) You will stamp your feet, flip your hair, and blame anything except the single cultural force that has devoted itself to suppressing and controlling masculinity. And you’ll go home alone every night to your cats, your Facebook Friends, and your vibrators. I sure hope that’s what you want. Sincerely, A Mom. Lot of valid points here that make me happy with my Thai wife. (Not a ladyboy, ya fuckin' fucks.)

If you're a young guy and you honestly question why a man would ever get married then you don't need an answer....the question is rhetorical.
There's nothing wrong with being single with no kids, but remember that perspectives do change when the novelty of the bachelor lifestyle wears off. At some point most guys' chiseled, good looks from their youth begins to fade and is replaced with receding hairlines, beer guts and love handles. I'd rather become ugly with someone than just become ugly and be alone LOL. And spare me the bravado of "I'll never change how I feel and I'll always be chiseled and handsome." Things change, perspectives change, desires change. Certainly some men are happy and content remaining single from their 20s to the grave, but most often things change because lives filled with superficiality and pretentious nonsense quickly becomes lackluster. When you're married to your best friend you have something real and when you make a family with that person it makes it that much better. Make no mistake, marriage is work and struggle at times, but it's also wonderful and empowering if you're with the right person for the right reasons. In those instances the struggles often don't matter.
Waay too serious, brah. Naw. Good post.
