'chickamania rules' t-shirts and muscle tops.... the only way to save bodybuilding!

Its kind like the Sadaam regime. (IFBB)

He says to a group of people: "If anyone has any ideas on how i can make your life more bearable, then please step forward"

One guy steps forward to say: " It would be nice to have a fridge in our room, as we are..................... .

(Swoosh......the masheti takes his head off and he looks at his torso still standing above him for a second"

"Anyone else have anything to say"

Bottom line is its a dictatorship , and the athletes are to pussy to unite, or go somewhere else....

43 pages and what have we learnt?

one by one, these 'ifbb rebels' have fizzled out, some quicker than others

Chick is still here taking on all comers and patiently explaining his actions.

i, for one, have learnt a great deal about this man and pro bbers in general and the two are very different.

it seems that pro bbers in general only give a shit if it affects them directly, but Chick is actively and constructively taking measures to make life better for the athletes as a whole, you know, the guys that can't even be bothered walking 30 metres to the meeting.

he is either completely nuts or he is very very passionate about pro bbing.

either way he appears far and away the best man for the job.

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.

But to it seems retarded not to have a union...you guys can get more money from promoters i would suppose...im not sure about endorsement deals, thats an individual thing...but atleast you guys can get together and force the pot to grow as far as prize money and say. " none of us will do the show until we get more money...it just seems like a no brainer....and the going to bat thing...with lee priest thing, if there were union lawyers and such lee could have had a less harsh penality or something. And other athletes are scared of in favorable placings as a result of speaking out or siding with lee.

I had about enough of Bob and Shawn Rays tactic and my next move is to write a formal letter to the IFBB in regards to the bashing and intimidation of fellow IFBB athletes. Bob you do not speak for me nor do you hiold any weight with me as of now. I am also going to ask that you be removed of this so called rep position. I for one saw and talked to Silvio at the NY. And i must saay you guys scared him and messed up his mental state for the pre judging. I also read Shawns text messages to Silvio stating that he could not help him with Wieder now. This bashing of other athletes has gone too far and it is going to stop I call IFBB pros to read this and make a statement regarding this issue. If this is deleting I will repost it.

Marvelous Melvin Anthony IFBB Pro

Melvin and Bob are cool...

And in contrast... You weren't being screwed by any means... complained about everything anyway... did something about it... and now YOU are getting what you deserve.

Yeah, he deserves to be outcast, because he didnt lay down spread-eagled with his ankles behind his head, and say......."Put it in me IFBB"

The other pros are pussys if they complain behind doors. Its really not Bobs fault at all. imo.

no, because he can't.

Chick is only one man. he has zero control over what the ifbb do and obviously has zero control over what the bbers do (which is why they will continue to be fucked in the ass).

all he can do is attempt to negotiate the best deal he can from the ifbb and, given the fact that he has absolutely zero power to force the ifbb to do anything at all, he has taken the 'catch more bees with honey' route.

until someone comes up with a better solution then ifbb pro bbers should give him as much assistance as they can.

No... my point was... He was a consistent TOP finisher, winner of several shows, featured on numerous covers, featured inside magazines constantly, a crowd favorite, and a featured spokesperson for a high profile company.

What was to complain about... any number of competitors would have loved having those problems. He didn't have to work (except booth appearances), had disposable income to spend on his hobby, ate, trained, (won't get into the negative stuff), and competed. That's the ultimate bodybuilders dream... just doing what you enjoy and making a good living at it, hell thats anybody's dream. Who in this thread would complain about living the life he HAD.

I'm not bashing Lee, he made a choice, everyone is entitled to make choices thats what freedom is all about... but there is a catch to making a choice... you have to live with the consequenses (if any) afterward. It is like any person out in the workforce making a good wage and living a nice life... sure there are issues with any job... then one day a competitor offers that person a pretty good deal and they take it... well it turns out not to be all roses either, so the person decides the other company wasn't so bad afterall... Oh Well, that person had a Non-Compete agreement with Company A and broke it. It happens everday.

As to your comment... That applies to NOW... if he wants anything to do with the IFBB ever again, yes he probably will have to try and get his ankles behind his head... and rightly so.
