Real men of Getbig, I have a question for you

[Earl1972]

People don't join a gym for the shitters either, but they are a nice touch, no?

actually dorian seemed to be bragging about his gym not having toilets

[gordiano]

it's a bodybuilding website, this is what should be discussed, would rather the whole website pay attention to
your cellphone in the gym? or how you can't use dumbbells cuz they hurt your Mp3?

Hmmm...many of us here BODYBUILD. WE JUST CHOOSE TO NOT DO IT IN FRONT OF A CROWD OF GAY MEN!

WE BUST OUR ASSES IN THE GYM, TRAINING HARD. WE EAT RIGHT, ET CETERA. GET THE PICTURE?

[G o a t b o y]

It has become so a bit lately, now that we've had a lot of sordid stuff about the behind-the-scenes activities of some of the pros come to light. Back in the 90s, I followed bodybuilding pretty closely via the magazines (mainly FLEX and a couple of others) and I never once saw competitions or even bodybuilding as being 'gay'. The mags focused mainly on training and nutrition and made it seem like a cool subculture that wasn't for everyone.

Problem now is that in forums like this one, people are free to speak their mind and slander whoever they want in whichever way they want, all under the shield of anonymity. Which is why some guys try and outdo the others in proclaiming how cool they are simply because they are disgusted by bodybuilding. In their defense, there are no cool characters in the "sport" now to look up to.

I know Danny is just trying to get a raise out of some people here cause he loves the drama, but some of the guys here always seem to be trying a little too hard about convincing everyone else that they aren't gay, which they do by referring to 'men in thongs' and all that. Guess what, no one cares whether you are gay or not and whether you think BB is gay or not (not addressing you there, GB). And as much as I love reading the stuff posted on here cause of the entertainment factor, I still mainly come on here to catch up with BB news as limited in scope and entertainment it is - it's not something you can discuss with anyone in your family or friends.

I like the fact that most of my fellow posters lift and diet, as I do, and can understand the whole lifestyle.  In that, the camaraderie on this board has value.  But I'd rather talk about events of the day or everyday things, rather than discuss the IFBB and their idiots, most of which disgust me.  I couldn't care less who won this "show" or that, except maybe if the discussion involves an owning.

Haha I know you do and that's why you are a legend here!

[gordiano]

It's gay because men are judging other naked men. How could that not be considered gay? Next time you are with your buddies, tell them to strip down to their underwear and tell them you want to "judge" them on how they look naked. You think that's a straight man activity?

FUCK, could not have said it better. In fact, bbing has ALWAYS been gay. Do some research people....

The "idiots" of the IFBB probably don't give two shits about a lot of the fans anyway.  As long as you're buying whatever company's product they're sponsoring they get money in their pockets and that's what they really care about.

That's just it...  anyone who's been on getbig for any amount of time knows the score and doesn't waste money on supplements.  That's the main reason why the "pros" hate us (besides the fact we're airing their dirty laundry daily).

They care about fans (schmoes, aka muscle worshipers) who kiss their asses, and buy sessions.

"Goat whey"?      I got hosed on that deal.  Shawn Ray owes me royalties!

Yes, it's a straight man activity. It's only gay if you can't see anything but the near-naked male physique as being homoerotic.

Bodybuilding is judged on specific criteria - mass, proportion, symmetry and general aesthetics. It's taking everyday judgement to the next level and making a sport out of it, because now there are specific guidelines to judge and strive for. What you're saying is that everyone who judges and admires a BBers physique is gay. If that's so, there would be alot more homosexuals on here than there already is.

this thread desparately needs jumpstart to post 300 photos of stan mcquay.

I tried to weed out the fags, but they just had to defend how straight it is to compare mens naked bodies

100% spot on
Couldnt of said it better myself, the internet has in a way destroyed bodybuilding for all the right reasons. Its sick what happens behind the scenes.

If you don't want to talk bodybuilding on a bodybuilding site....go here www.joelocalpt.com

You use the same Fitness Generator Software that I use for my clients, ....Smart Choice.

Here's mine

If you ever want to swap training programs, let me know

Swap straight up? Or does he have to pay you? I think Coach is getting a hell of a deal here.

Do you profit from it?

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Oh yea.  I have only 8 active clients right now but thats about 500 dollars a month extra minus the 37 dollars a month for the service.  This doesn't include the on and off customers I get who may sign up for a month for some new workouts and etc.   With my personal training at the gym slowed down, it helps out.  I mainly use the email service system and not really the website itself.

I was actually updating it recently when you mentioned it.  My key to getting clients is the 72 hour free trial I give.  Give them a taste test and they'll want the whole meal

Fitness Generator is an monthly service tool for personal trainers.  It allows us to create and design training programs and nutritional meals but it also provides us with the ability to offer the services online to people.


When we create a training program through the system, we can exchange or sell them to other trainers although most of the time its just exchanging them to add variety to our programs.  I actually have about 90 different programs in all.  13 are my own which is my H.O.E training system and the rest are from other personal trainers.

How would you rank yourself compared to other personal trainers on here, namely Arvilla and Coach?

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

How would you rank yourself compared to other personal trainers on here, namely Arvilla and Coach?

Since me and Arvilla are ISSA, I would say that our training methods are problably similar in terms of actual personal training although I have to retake the exam because I let it expire.  I also have 2 AMFPT certifications.  In all, I actually have 2 personal trainer certifications, one sports nutritionists certification and a naturopath certificate.

I'm not sure of Coach's credentials so I can't really say but he seems to be doing well.


Honestly, I can't say because I've never met Arvilla and Coach
