Ah yes... the infamous Arnold meeting where certain athletes sat outside in the lobby telling people nobody has gone in... not to bother. The writing was on the wall even back then... everybody is an individual, there is no group mentality in bodybuilding.

Bingo!

Thats the problem, my friend.

Glad you were there to witness it....

What a fucking jerk that Shawn Ray.. Chick, if I were a pro, I would always attend your meetings and not only that, I would sit all the way in the front and carry a pad with me to take minutes as well as a recorder to be able to replay it at home to all my friends and family.

Past is the past...I dont dwell on it...I went a different route in getting a voice for the pro bodybuilders, and much needed change.

Working WITH the powers that be has been very successful so far, and Jim Manion has been receptive to the changes we've brought foward, something the last president SHOULD have been open to, but wasn't....thus the stagnation for the pro's of the past.

Bob, do you ever wonder why you need to be there to make changes for the apathetic pro bodybuilders? What is wrong with the IFBB pro division that they need a pro rep in the first place? Surely the IFBB should know how to run bodybuilding and benefit the bodybuilders? Guess not. Keep up the good work. Your posts about the slack bodybuilders are funny.

Why does baseball have a union rep? Why does football have a players assoc.? Why do actors have agents?

Someone had to initiate a change....

Keith, you do not make appearances at shows anymore! Is it because you may run into Sean? Or is your weight the issue?

Yes, Sean is a very short man.

Most Pro Bodybuilders are short!
Short men have the ability to pack on greater muscle.
Short men have short limbs which makes it easy for them to build density.

Keith, why are you scared of running into Sean? You have spread much poison on these boards about him.

And also Keith, let me remind you that there will consequences for your actions.

You have been very misleading, and have spread many hateful untruths about Sean!

Keith, you made choices and they were poor ones at that! This hate campaign you continue to run against Sean, must and will end!

the IFBB should pay Bob to be an athletes rep????Really??? Do you really believe they want the athletes to have leadership? I don't know of one business that is for a union and organization...I think they like the fact that you bodybuilders care only about yourself interest...

Of course....Wayne used to revel in the fact that the BBers would never be able to organize themselves into anything remotely associated with a union or association.

You are right, no business wants to see a union, etc....with it, they lose control.

But Why...Why not do like the NFL Players and have a governing body...someone who really goes to bat when something happens like a suspension or something.....Is it because the top tier guys dont think they have anything to gain?

the sport needs acceptance by the public as a sport. bodybuilding isn't regarded as a sport today...because it would be similar to...who's the best drug user to create the perfect image?
and, is that a sport, yes or no? and what does a professional bodybuilder shrink to once he retires? isn't that an odd question? how can you have a legitimate sport based on a false(unreal) premise? when the rules are enforced, at this point all that's required is an association of members and their agent. but what do i know?

What sport doesn't have top athletes using drugs to get an edge? Football, baseball, and even hockey have users. Are these legitimate sports? So what's the big deal. Have you seen what Mark Mcgwire looks like now compared to his peak. Who cares if it's accepted by the public. Bodybuilding will always have its fans.

1. We have no union or association, etc., you need everyone on the same page in order for that to happen...

2. 'Going to Bat' is reletive...I'll give you 2 senarios:

The Lee situation...there was nothing to go to bat with, a rule thats been in place since day one...a prescedent which has already been set in terms of action as a result of violation, and zero support from any other athlete expresssing their desire to compete elsewhere.

The Silvio situation...where I had an opportunity to help an athlete out, as it was more of a grey area, language barrier, third party involvement, etc....went to bat, rectified the situation with no recourse taken on the athlete.

3. The top tier guys look at it as "what I have/ stand to LOSE"....not the other way around.
