A picture of dejection like never before....

[monstercalves]

as i said ...so many arseholes in this thread.....as bodybuilding fans and maybe future competitors do u not find it the least bit interesting to hear moose talk about any of his competitions whether it be back in the day or recent..........

im very interested in the back in the day stuff.......this guy has spent time with the great robby robinson back in the fuckin 70s.....and god knows who else

looks like Mike has almost as many stories to tell as Keith (onlyme)

except Mike was a bodybuilder and was in the thick of things with some legends during the golden era.....

u lot must not love the sport as much as me

try working out and then you may end up with shoulders more than 11 inches wide

You are pathetic. Move on with your life...please! Stop bombarding us with your lame amateur bodybuilding pics
from the 80's. It's over... ok...it's fucking over move on.

I told moose once that i don't think it is a good idea for competitors to wear suits and he jumped all over me.  I didn't blame him I blame all the people who talk smack because he thought I was another one of those people.  I would like to learn and hear more of what he has to say.  Will I agree with all of it, no but I will take what I can and apply it to my training and learn and grow.  We are not all haters here.  Projection- its a psychology term it means when deep down you hate yourself so you feel the need to beast on others.  We all should just try to improve ourselves because in the end thats all we really want is to be better at what it is we love and hold dear.

Awesome!  My wife is a Lt. with the MDOC and teaches leadership training I meet her at the MSP post while I was an FTO running an academy for future recruits.  I guess leadership is all around me.  I need it because I am human and get down too but I cant for too long because I have titles to defend and new ones to obtain.  I have my own problems so I stay positive and wish others luck.  It doesn't hurt me any.

wow, it's rare to see such a poor head/shoulder ratio

u talkin about moose?


thats called a mullet.... pros in the 90's took it to extremes and shaved their heads.... levrone,flex,ray etc

[monstercalves]

and BTW can u post that pic of the wolf ..... looks like hes pulling off that arnold pose

not seen anyone pull it off

[Moosejay]

i don't think it is a bad thread.  i had a bad placing once and was so embarrassed that i sat in the restroom for like an hr before I came out to see friends and family.  i guess i didn't want to hear i got screwed by the judges because i know i got beat by a better competitor.  to my surprise my friends said you got beat by a better competitor and that stung, lol, but i still enjoyed my dinner with my friends and family.  until i loose the Olympia by one point I'm not gonna get pissed so it looks like i will be happy a long time.

Good attitude, Ironjoe

[Sharma]

Was this a bodybuilding contest or something else?

[Moosejay]

sometimes your the bat other times your the ball at least you had the guts to show up.  2 competitors sounds about right the other 200 men were in the fifth row talking about how bad you looked.  second is the first looser isn't always true.  second qualifies you for the nationals where you could win a pro card and this has happend to a friend of mine or sometimes its about the qualification or trying something different to not remain the same.  sometimes it works sometimes backfires, live and learn and at least you made the show.

Ironjoe, your words ring true. I have been in classes by myself, in classes with 40 guys, have done poorly and well in both kinds...qualified for nats twice...did my level best always

Hey MC, yes. I am always surprised these guys are not interested to hear the stories.

And never mind the nostalgia thread...I am not that old...only 44, and happened to compete at 15 in 1979...most of my time was spent in 80's and 90's, and a bit in this century...I think they just like to:

Very good, Joe.

Actually, that show I wore a suit and got shellacked.

never wore one again!

Yes, A LOT of projection around here.

[Moosejay]

That's what it's all about right there.  Just check yourself next time you wanna be a sour sport; that's low class, and judging by having the balls to admit you let this happen, that's probably not the true you.   

I agree.

Its a way of thinking I never let jhapopen again.

I posted this pic bc I was actually surprised when I saw it.

My photographer usually followes me around all day and m,ost of the picks are not posed.

I may have never seen this pic till bthe other day..I was surprised bc I said, "That';s not me"...but then I recalled how pissed I was at that show....in retrospect...the kid deserved to beat me.

I was a bit too cavalier.

[Moosejay]

Yes.

Actually, recently, I had to advise the kid who was entering the Mr. CT to shave his afro...it was huge and took away from his width...he got pissed at me, but did it and won the show.

It was a tragedy

"Rankle my Rhubarb"

I don't like the sound of that!  


Joe - good attitiude man.  Most of us are just fuckin' around on here.  Not many are true haters.  Except for when Moose posts 20 times in a row and you can't get a word in edgewise.

I only post many times in a row when I wake up and answer posts!

And the Getbig Tapestry is the richer for it.

What's next, a new thread titled, "A picture of hapiness..." with a 80's scanned pic of Moosejay smiling?   

There are sites where you can upload personal photo albums, bodybuilding forums are not the place for it.

I just may do that just for you, BB, since'

Indeed

For me

Every day is like a holiday....!
