Pipe down bicep-boy...tearing a bicep swating at bees in your apartment. Nice story about "boxing" though...LOL

2, no probably 3 more pointless pro cards dished out to people who will never place.

yep,

1) snooze

2) snooze

3) snooze

4) snooze



no one cares about these no names, their physiques are all subpar (as far as top level IFBB goes) and no one cares............i think they should keep it more elite, fucking givign the masters the "pity" pro card........maybe give out one for the overall

3 out or 4 of those guys would embarrass themselves on an IFBB stage, adn the other would place VERY shitty

The IFBB get a couple hundred dollars a year for everyone of these pro cards. More pros=more money. The NPC is going to get a $100 per card next year.

I'm assuming that pros only have to pay that money if they plan to compete?

If you want to be in good standings with them you need to pay your dues each year.

Am I just being paranoid or is his right bi engorged with oil?

Serious lack of talent in the 50+ class. Look at him. Third stage Palumboism. The class must be full of guys who have trained some time in their youth and now realise they can finally dominate in something when the succesfull guys have finished their glorious careers...so it's completely irrelevant competition.

Wait till you turn 50 asshole

[Primemuscle]

agree.
and i think that maybe i have chance to get pro card too as 57 years old

You look good for any age. You should do well entering the masters division.

I'm sixty-six and still training. - Actually harder and with more regularity since I retired last year.  Wish I'd had this kind of time to devote to training when I was younger.

fucking snooze............he looks like every other 40 plus year old black competitor...........loo ks like melvin, looks like toney.........but not as good


this guy has been chasing his pro card for YEARS..........that should tell you somehting, they finally gave him one out of pity, cause thre was no one else in the show really.........but if they thought he would do anything in the IFBB.........he would have got one years ago


this just cheapens the IFBB image

Agreed.

Bodybuilding is DOMINATED by a small group of competitors who are just lightyears ahead of 99% of the other guys.

Pro BB is only for the genetic ELITE , it's very unlikely that any of the new pros can drastically improve to a point where they'd be competitive.

There's just no point in having so many pros when only a handful is actually competitive.

I've read theories on here for years as to what the IFBB could do to improve its image but in my opinion bodybuilding will never be mainstream because it is simply not that exciting.  It is oiled up men in thongs posing on a stage after all.  If they beat the shit out of one another after the results were announced that might be worth watching, but it is like watching a slide show of still lifes, and still lifes of 300 pound almost naked men.  That is the reason bodybuilding doesn't have mass appeal.  Although I do agree that lax judging will reduce the [already low] quality of bodybuilding in the eyes of the mainstream.  Frankly I like the industry though and expect to be a part of it for a long time.  Bodybuilding has helped me a lot in my personal life, even though I am hardly a bodybuilder.  It will always have a special place in my heart I guess.

Anthony Wolf Williams, Henderson Thorne and Claude Groulx were constantly placed behind others they should have beaten and this was commonly known and stated. They weren't top bodybuilders but they were bounced out of the top 10 many times when they should have been in it.

Fouad has taken his bruises as he climbed the political ladder at the beginning of his pro career. Every show he did there was a valid argument that he should have placed higher.

Paul Dillet was the smart one. He moved to the US from Canada and started winning pro shows. Had he not made that move and surrounded himself with "industry people," it's a safe bet he wouldn't have been even half as successful.


YEA right it didnt matter at all he had a fuckin insane size, shape and hardness, which is what defines a winning body..

must have been he moved to the us.............this is a joke rite??
