No positive Role Models in Pro Bodybuilding ! Why ?

[THEBOSS]

The typical IFBB "role model":

pathetic !

[The GodFather]

Hank the Truth is well known about Pro BB, most decent Pros just train and keep the Fuk away from all the Crap and Schmoes that come with the contest side of BB.Why the Fuk would anybody want a Role Model who spends most of their life Eating Injecting and Sleeping.FFS

[New Hank Wood]

Pro Bodybuilding attracts the dregs of society.  This so-called sport requires no skill or intelligence to succeed.

All you need are an assortment of drugs, insecurity, self-loathing-issues and a desire to pose in front of male audiences.

Yes, these so-called athletes are the 'anti' role models.

Pros continue to spank on about how dedicated and driven you need to be, to succeed. Haahhahaha.  Take away the drugs and watch all that commitment evaporate.

It remains a pageant for vanity-driven-little-men; who need drugs and adoring homosexual fans to feel self-actualised!

so f*cking grapefruits and posing for old men is better than running underground dog fighting ?
only in the IFBB

I don't know...about as many that are arrested for abuse, drugs, shooting themselves in the leg, running a dog fighting ring, etc, etc....

[laurion]

Ronnie was a cop, cop = role model right? 

[bigdumbbell]

How many NFL players take their clothes off for dirty old men for cash? Or fuck grapefruits for a few dollars?

haha  lol

[New Hank Wood]

It is just so sad and pathetic that this so-called sport acknowledges someone like Jay Cutler to be its role model!

Jesus Christ.  Jay=role model.

That's right, someone who eats every two hours, sticks needles in their butt, speaks like a retard, offers zero advice regarding health and fitness, contributes to no charities and has a huge pregnant belly is considered as Pro Bodybuilding's finest role model.

He needed the money badly

[local hero]

bodybuilding isnt followed by young kids and never has been,,,,,,,,,,,,, so why the need of role models?, pro bodybuuilders have been the same type and doin the same things for decades!!!!

I think there are few, but one who comes to mind is Darrem.

Saw the Road to the O last year and his interview with Chick (nice job
by the way Chick - but can you fix the lighting?  ).

Humble guy, well spoken.  He doesn't appear to let success get to his head.
Yes he has cars and a nice house, but he also has a beautiful wife who he's been
with for like 20 years (who even in her 40's still competes in shows) and a son
who looks up to him and wants to be like his daddy.  Seeing them train together
is like seeing best friends rather than father & son. How many parents out there
have such a relationship with their teenage kids, where there kids still think dad is cool?

He seems to have family life down, with a career already well in motion
after he stops competing.

He maintains a desireable physique and while he admits to taking drugs later
in his career, he doesn't abuse them and doesn't try to play the size game too much.

He obviously didn't require any dignity!

I know Local,

I don't like it, but I'd have to give up watching Pro BBing altogether, or follow the natural scene.

He maintains a desireable physique and while he admits to taking drugs later
in his career, he doesn't abuse them and doesn't try to play the size game too much.

Hi Darrem, pm Ron for some special stars.

[musclehedz]

The sport doesn't stand for anything except for drug usage.

The mainstream absolutely loathe everything about the sport.

When a Pro is seen in public, people point and laugh at them....No one respects a bloated-roided-thonged midget!

It doesn't help that these meatheads have nothing else going on in their lives, apart from weights, injecting, sleeping and eating. 

Most tend to have little to no education, and find it difficult to even string two logical words together.

I won't even begin to highlight how most Pro's treat their spouses...Anecdotally, it is quite appalling, and in some cases it is violent and oppressive....and of course, there is no such thing as 'roid rage'!

Bottom line, most people don't aspire to be little angry needle shooting munchkins.

And yeah, livin'  the dream of posing on an Olympia stage, all oiled-up and shakin' ass to a predominantly homosexual audience, is not what the mainstream view as inspirational !

These 'anti' role models continue to further screw any ounce of credibility that is left in this once noble passtime!

All sports are about drug usage you idiot.

We all know the horrible side-effects caused by steroids, but when you need to make your money out of it you dont have a choice.

[JasonH]

Haha - loving Chick's responses in this thread - the guy's got a good answer for everything. 

[PTB]

Sorry,

Not Darrem, just a fan.
 

Hi Darrem, pm Ron for some special stars.

Here you go...fresh off the press

we already know about the s##t in the nfl.  that's why i just watch college.  check my other thread.  worthless BS product.  international soccer is better.  anyway...that guy was the 2nd overall pick.  that's like $30M down the drain.  i'd pay somebody to keep me in check and out of trouble.  i'd hire a priest and a nun and wear garlic around my neck to keep the monsters away.   

[The Wizard]

vince taylor was and is a great role model. great guy and actually has a personality. agreed re recent athletes though

[New Hank Wood]

Intelligent people don't aspire to be Pros.  They find the obscene drug taking, the bloated physiques and near naked posing to be disgusting.

Yes, there is something that is just so embarrassing about this so-called sport. 

When a Pro opens their mouth they sound so 'meat headish'....very unattractive.

Bottom line, the mainstream identify with the clean and lean look and not with these Neanderthallic immature syringe shooting fucktards!

Life is all about balance, restraint and focus.

A Pro's life is about sleeping 14 hours a day, eating every 2 hours, hanging in the gym with other meatheads, scoring and dealing illicit substances....not role model material !

[WillGrant]

Hank..What era would you like BB to return to?
The heavy anabolic use has been there since the 70s..the other drugs are what ruined the looks of the BB , not the AAS..

So the 70s - mid 80s would make you happy?

[ASJChaotic]

Kevin Levrone was and still is a GREAT role model.
