Bobservations.......I have a few I disagree with

[Chick]

Chick you nailed this one pretty good, I 100% agree with you on every single one. When you said the more you carb the softer you look does this mean you shouldn't carb as much or is it worth the trade?

Guys WaAAAAAAAAY over carb, which only starts the ball rolling to try and cut even more water out, more diuretics, more scrambling, etc....when they more than likely looked better BEFORE all the bullshit.

Hahaha
This was genius.

Bobservations is very clever.

Did you feel bobligated to write so many?

[Chick]

Hahaha
This was genius.

Yep...genius material from a guy that spends 24/ 7 on a BB site.

Coleman's end result was a torn up physique, same as Yates...both of which have said on record, they would have gone lighter if they could go back.

If they followed your advice.....there would not be one Sandow sitting on their mantles & most likely would be sitting on 14 other mantles.

What Arnold CLAIMS, and what he did may be two very different things.

So you're saying that Arnold did not train them daily with high weights (up to 1,000 lbs per Reg Park) & high volume did NOT happen?

Bobsically what Bob is saying is... Anything Arnold ever wrote about in the book Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding regarding his calves was a farce.

I doubt Arnold actually ever wrote anything.

That would be bobvious.

You'd be Bobsicle if you believed anything otherwise.

Right ! Yates always won the symmetry round as well as the posing rounds and people didn't ' get it ' because they're ignorant every single bit of judging criteria is assessed in every single round , symmetry is NOT judged as a separate and distinct entity in the  ' symmetry round ' and neither is posing in the ' posing ' rounds all rounds are physique rounds

did ND just say that?!

Or they would have a few more each to add to their collection.....

Maybe he just started training them...period.

If everyone kissed his ass you wouldn't get as many great responses from him.. you need some form of controversy.
All in all Bob is a decent feller

Now don't you have some water jugs to carry for Levrone?

Bob, regarding #12, did you deplete and load when you won your card?

Bump for Bob

Chick why are you bashing your bro Kamali in that article?

Bump for Bob

I used a much simpler version, lowered them slightly...raised them slightly.

Nah, I'm not obsessed with Bob, I'm obsessed with Amy Lee, just ask anyone on the Gayer Than thread.   I only lob grenades at Bob when I feel like it for fun.

Well...you certainly have spare time.

The problem most builders make is even though they look great they carb load, then carb deplete.If you look good, dont do anything drastic the week of the show, except cut back your sodium, and water intake.
I seen so many guys screw up the week of the show, by carb loading , cutting there water to low or try to use a diuretic and it flattens then out.Another real risky  move is sodium loading, and creatine loading the week of a show.
Bob hit the nail right on the head, when he said just lower your carbs slightly, then raise then slightly.
This leaves little room for error.
If your not in shape come the week of the show, carb manipulation or diuretics wont do anything but make you look even worse.
I personally think that if you dieted correctly and put the work in you should look contest ready 2 1/2 weeks out.The only thing you should need to do is cut back the sodium, and the water, and your ready for the stage.
To many guys  count on stupid ass rituals the week of the show, to make them look good.99% of the time these are the same  jokers, that step on stage looking, flat, smooth or bloated.

All true...

You can disagree all you want....their MY observations, thus the title of my article.

so if a mag pays a bodybuilder a thousand dollars to have a ghost writer write something under the bodybuilder's byline, do they pay eleven hundred if the bodybuilder writes it himself?

I couldn't tell you....can't speak for anyone else, but I've written every article I've ever had put in a magazine.
