GOOD POINT I WILL LOOK INTO IT....WELL YOU WERE COMPETING IN THE 70 WHY DIDNT YOU DO SOMETHING?

AND ONE WAS ALMOST STARTED TO GOOD OLD JOE STEPPED IN AND SQAUSHED THAT....SEE SAME SHIT STILL GOING ON NOW.....YES I GOT THE WHOLE STORY FROM ARNOLD AND THE GUYS AT WORLD GYM...

Depends on who you talk to...from the play by play in Muscle builder at the time...it was Arnold himself that left the rest of them in a funk despite initially throwing his support behind it.

Actually, My first show was in 1979 at the ripe old age of 13....DOH!!

Lee and Bob need to hug and makeup, this is getting tiresome


The IFBB wasn't working out for Lee so he went left, good for him

All I will say is that the IFBB's stance is bad in my opinion.  As Lee has said, you are in shape 2 weeks before and after an IFBB show, so why not go compete in another show and make a little extra money?  Im sure there are a good number of guys who could use it.  I mean you CAN go and compete in that other show, but then you will be suspended and probably be in a worse financial state than you were before because of the policies the IFBB uses.

The IFBB's stance is bad...for who? Other federations? That's business...

The IFBB gains nothing by letting it's members compete in other federations. If they did lift the rule..virtually nothing would change other than having more watered down shows, and the same guys not making money would STILL not be making money...

The PDI should be focusing on going after a DIFFERENT market with DIFFERENT atheltes (as it appears they are)...a influx of IFBB pro's wouldn't help either federation, but hurt thm both.

The product is bodybuilding, that can still represent different markets such as magazines and publications etc.  Just as car dealerships and car leasing companies are in different markets, but the end product is the same.

Chic and the others that make fun or even say anything about Lee and others who wear a costume are you stupid or blind or both.  Check out IFBB shows.  Check out the 8 time Mr. Olympia.  The person who is supposed to represent pro BB.  Jeez what a bunch a morons.  Chic I am really surprised you even bring it up when the IFBB invented it.  Get your shit together you are losing it.

I've gotten so many people tell me how boring IFBB shows are that some of them end up sleeping....then they catch a glimpse of Musclemania/PDI where contestants can improvise on their posings etc making it a lil more entertaining...end of the day...if you cant please the fans then even the best bodybuilder wont be worth anything coz like it or not it is the fans that makes you or breaks you.So would it hurt so much as to improve a bodybuilding show a lil?

I never liked it to begin with and never supported it.

What I did do is fix it by getting rid of the props and costumes...it's a done deal in the IFBB, as it should be.

Well good job Chic.  Only took them 40+ years to implement that rule.  But in all honesty, the costumes at least make it a show and something different for the crowd.  Like everyone says, BB is boring to watch.  At least letting the competitors be creative and come out and do something different, makes it a little more entertaining.

Funny thing is...no one instructs me to do or say anything. I've talked to Manion a handful of times over the past 2 months, never once brought it up. Whats hard for you guys to understand is that no one from the IFBB really gives a shit about the PDI...they showed this past year that they are no real threat, no mass exodus of talent, no sponsors to speak of, no audience...

It's just slinging some shit around...no different than any of you do on a regular basis about the IFBB...



Then why are you on here going out of your way to try and suppress what ever little bit of power the PDI might have? lol. It shows a certain insecurity to have to put these guys down.

You clearly saw the title of the thread and a little voice said 'oh no some more people are talking about our rivals'.

Just remember sometimes there's no such thing as negative advertising. You're an IFBB pro who's affectively adding to the PDI hype by bothering to post on threads like this.

Rhino what's up bro how's your lifting? I know its hard to concentrate with all the hate on the PDI but its funny  though you gotta agree on that lol

Sorry I am late getting back to you...Yeah, it's funny now, I get it all, and don't sweat it. Training is going great!!! Now if I get the right help to dial it in, things should be great this year. Freddy Smalls is doing my prep, I am currently 270, 6.7%, working on my flaws, want to make a better showing.

The haters don't really hate me......I kind of get it now.

No, It's been a rule for some time...Ironically, it was your buddy Wayne that started the whole thing back when he first promoted the NOC.

Slowly but surly, a little slack has been cut here and there until something had o be done...

I disagee with making it more entertaining...I think it makes it look foolish. I don't see whee it enhances anything about bodybuilding, and just makes the guys work all that much LESS on their posing when they can just put a cape on and walk on stage.

I do find it funny that Chic tries to make the PDI look bad by mentioning costumes when his best friend is notorious for wearing them.  What about that Chic.  Please why do you rag on the PDI and especially Lee who actually makes it a show yet you ignore the fact Kamali does it and looks like shit.  And don't forget Coleman.  Remember he was your #1 representative for 8 years.
