Hope you'll find enough satisfaction in practice of the art than in observation of the spectacle.

Bodybuilding is foremost about building your body.  What Weider/AMI does with their show is secondary.

imo Mr Olympia is dead ,not bbing, we still got other great shows like the Arnolds, and many european Ifbb shows where judging takes the right place.
mof after Ronnie is gone now i would never be intrested in the O again until they prove themselves right again.

Lifting weights is sport.  Putting underwear on and being on a stage is pageantry.

Whoah, where to start.
Personaly - Personally
margerly - majorly
shure - sure

Have to love bodybuilding forums, where the average spelling level, barely eclipses the 4th grade. ;D

Agreed.  It's a beauty pageant for muscle.

He's from Germany, so no, I wouldn't.
It makes you wonder how people even passed middle school.  I'm not the best speller and no, this isn't school, but certain words should be mandatory...seriously.
Practise
Redeculous
...I can't think of other gems on this site, but you know what I mean.  I'm talking about words I could spell in 3rd grade. ::)
Oh, Wolf should have won the Olympia. ;D

I'm German and I don't hide the fact that my spelling at times sucks, especially  when I'm excited and forget to use the spellchecker, was it necessary to make fun of that?
Seriously?

How's your German you shallow ####?
Oh, you're from Germany.  That is ok then.  English is not your first language...completely understandable.
I'm speaking about illiterate Americans, who spell on a 3rd grade level.  This does not pertain to you. ;D
Considering I've never been taught any German, I'd say it's for shit.  However, correcting someone's spelling, certainly isn't shallow.  Condescending?...the way I phrased it, yes. ;D

haha, Starks.  You're melting down because I corrected your spelling. :)  Granted, I did it in a demeaning fashion, but then recanted when I found out English wasn't your first language.
Oh, one more thing:
Challange - Challenge
Hope this helps. ;D

The Olympia hasn't been the show for years.

Now it isn't dead if you attend local and national competitions.  IMO the amateur competitons are where you really get inspired and into the whole thing.

The USA's this year were awesome, and the Nationals are going to be more of the same.

The professional ranks really need to be overtaken.  THAT is pathetic.

Nearly 6000 posts later, you are now going to claim that you were “never THAT involved”?

If you are still training and visiting a site like this you are not “marginally interested” and you are certainly not “done.”  Body building has been heading in this direction for many years so pretending to put your foot down and acting like this is something new is laughable and marks you as an attention whore.  Which is largely what this sport is about anyway.  So, welcome back . . . it’s not like you ever left.  Bah! 

Doom disapproves.
