Here are the official scorecards with everyone competing that weekend:










Looks a little weird when there are more female bodybuilders competing than men's physique guys.

Cedric McMillan signed!
Looks like Fouad has his work cut out for him.

Grigori Atoyan is in as well.

yeah like when Fouad took off at the Arnold cuz he didn't think he needed to come out for comparisons. lol with all his contest history you think he  would ask someone in authority to find out for sure. he'll never live that down. made him look like a sore loser

Agreed, I don't know the full story, but it seems like he just thought he deserved better and left in a huff. I mean why not at least watch the rest of the contest? Why not check out the expo? Whatever, I hope he learned his lesson and realizes that leaving mid contest is generally not a good idea.
Antoine seems to be the opposite when it comes to attitude, I think even if he places dead last at a show he'll take it and tell people something like "I came 15th runner up" LOL.

looking at the line up-
Fouad should win this one...

I'm waiting to see how Antoine looks at the NY Pro, I'm really rooting for him in the Toronto Pro.
But if Fouad comes in peeled he will take it. He's got a bit of an advantage over Antoine in terms of competition experience.

is his name galineko Grin by chance,,,

Haha, no Gal seems to actually be able to see his abs, this guy didn't.
7  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: People in the gym with 52 weeks out "abs" :D on: May 11, 2013, 01:03:47 PM
There was a guy at my gym who would lift his shirt and hold it in his teeth while he did leg raises. It was actually pretty funny to watch.

Looks like someone Photoshopped his head on someone else's body.
How do these guys become pros and not know to tan their faces before hitting the stage??

Why do you keep going then?

Its like that joke
Patient: "Doc, it hurts when I do this, how do I make the pain go away?"
Doctor: "Don't do that"
10  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Frank McGrath 9 weeks out from Toronto Pro 2013 on: April 04, 2013, 06:37:52 AM
The guy almost died a few years back, still has a nasty scar from the surgeries. The guy still looks great and, I think, has a very good physique.

Good luck Frank!
11  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Antoine Vaillant , TEN YEARS OF HARD WORK........ on: April 02, 2013, 11:29:44 AM
He looks incredible! Glad to see the vacuum pose back, hope he doesn't get pregnant 10 years down the road...

Can't wait to see what he brings to the pro stage!

Btw if you haven't seen his tricking videos check them out on youtube, pretty impressive stuff for a guy his size.
12  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Vibrams at the gym on: February 13, 2013, 01:53:21 PM
I hate those things. I don't understand why people insist on wearing them.
If you want to lift barefoot please just take off your shoes!
I don't like squatting sholess so I keep mine on, but my buddy likes to squat in his socks which is perfectly fine. But don't go out and spend money on something you can achieve as easily as taking off your shoes.
Also, I remember a couple years back the US army banned these things, and for good reason.

While we're on the subject, is anyone else wary of taking several hundred percentages of anything on a daily basis? Does the body excrete the excess?
For some reason I always thought that taking hundreds percentages of vitamin c was fine, so I've been doing it for a year or so now. I mean if you drink 2 glasses of orange juice you're getting 200% of your DV of vitamin c right there...

Montague, I talked with a friend of mine in the medical field and he said that if kidney stones run in your family then you should be more worried about consuming more vitamin c than "needed" by the body. In my case I should probably be a bit worried since my dad got kidney stones when he was in his early 40's
14  Getbig Bodybuilding Boards / Nutrition, Products & Supplements / Re: High-dose vitamin C linked to kidney stones in men on: February 12, 2013, 12:48:41 PM
Well this isn't good news...
When I diet I chew on those Sunkist Vitamin C tablets because they taste amazing, I get vitamin c and it curbs my appetite. Each tab contains 500mg of vit c (way over the 90mg recommended dose in that article).
I guess now I'm going to rely solely on gum  Sad
15  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Rules of gym etiquette on: February 12, 2013, 11:41:55 AM
One thing I think you missed is the gaggle of teenagers (usually 4 or 5 of them) who hog a piece of equipment by taking turns using it. Their rest times are several minutes long because they have to wait for all 5 of them to get their set in.
X1000
I hate those little bastards! I think there should be an unspoken rule about not having more than 3 people training on the same piece of equipment at once.
My gym has only one group of these kids (thank god) but I remember in university there would be a bunch of these guys who would come in groups of 10 and do bench press one at a time for 2 hours straight!

Also, I thought GB would find this amusing about last year's Olympics

A day after defending Olympic gold-medal champion race walker Alex Schwazer was kicked out of the London Games for blood doping, the Italian gave a lengthy, tear-filled press conference proclaiming that he was actually happy he had been caught using illegal substances.

19  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Eugene Mishin and Kai Greene in NY lottery ad on: February 11, 2013, 01:55:11 PM
I also liked the hotdog ad with Mishin

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQhHyHkCeBo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQhHyHkCeBo</a>

He seems like a really cool guy and doesn't take himself too seriously.
20  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Eugene Mishin and Kai Greene in NY lottery ad on: February 11, 2013, 01:54:06 PM
Can't see much of who is who, but its pretty easy to spot Kai.

I love Alex Jones! He brings the crazy to the airways.
Never disappoints me, especially when he yelled at Piers Morgan  Cheesy
23  Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Frank Zane - Advice is to NOT bulk up on: February 05, 2013, 10:46:56 AM
Middle school, I think. He taught mathematics.

I think he taught Chemistry... I know he has a degree in science (hence the nickname "The Chemist")

Haha I've seen a video of this clown where he's trying to convince people he's never taken synthol.
