In January 1959 I vowed to build myself up so that no one would ever bully me. I started lifting weights in a neighbour's basement and didn't train in a gym for many years because there weren't any in Kamloops in those days. To this day I have never been in a fight as an adult. People leave musclemen alone. Even those carrying a bit of safety fat! The trick is to have a sense of humour and know when to back off.

In those days there were no internet goatboys around to deal with. I can't believe the years have gone just like that. The good thing is that the muscles still respond to training and keep growing at any age. You will eventually learn how to train effectively and efficiently. What is lacking is the motivation to want to stay big. That takes a special brain and dedication. Good luck to anyone who is committed to this sport. When you get older you will find that the body tends to fall apart little by little. You will need to wear glasses at about 50 to read small print. Your hair thins and you start getting lines of character. If you keep your muscles growing you will keep looking young. Other than choosing the right parents, you will have to wait and see what your fate is.

I doubt many of you will still be on Getbig when you are 66. Remember one thing, these are still the good old days! Some of you will have gone through 1000 gimmick accounts by then!


Good post! :-*

Well Vince, show us some pictures from the 1970 Mr Canada show with you in comparison with an actual competitor.

At the very least, how many people did you compete against in your class???  How many people were actually in the show???  

The only picture is you with a bunch of cut-out paper letters of the IFBB hanging over your head???


We'll be waiting for your response



haha omg what are you talking about?
show us your pic

50 years of lifting weights, you certainly have a bit more than "safety fat."

You'd think after 50 years of lifting, you wouldn't look like shit anymore.

And if you're 66yrs old, and still on GetBig, you're worse than anyone else here. :-\

Ha, ha, Melvin is still going on about the plumber thing. What a tool. That is what makes this forum entertaining. The lads even know about safety fat and flotsam so I am part of the scene here. I even posted an answer to a pm about Melvin.

The only mystery is how come Chick doesn't know he is a stooge and patsy. That guy is thick. He actually tries to convince the pros he is acting on their behalf. Yeah, sure. Milos is still blamed for the debacle in that contest. Lee got two years out instead of one. Chick is the apologist for the IFBB and athletes' rep my ass.

I should have posted this story on the positive board. What was I thinking?

Gotta be honest, Basile...coming from you....it means absolutely NOTHING.

Bob, you are good at putdowns. I wouldn't call them putdowns but crass and offensive behaviour. Lots of people are defensive and bitter and strike out at others. I hope you are happily married and not being bossed around at home. Giving up the single lifestyle must be difficult for a handsome bloke like you. There must be women around the world who miss your company.

Well, don't take it out on the anyone who draws attention to your asskissing re the officials of the IFBB and the company you work for. You have to pay your mortgage and so on. We allow that. What we don't accept is how you side with the IFBB against the athletes like Lee Priest. You are doing bugger all about the lack of testing for dangerous drugs used in this sport. Shame on you, Bob, because you are nothing but a lackey. You are a footsoldier and will never lead anything in this sport.

Excellent observations, Basile.....

I don't get paid by the IFBB, nor for being the athletes rep....so much for that theory.

As for Priest, feel free to ask Lee himself, who went to bat, wrote his letter requesting reinstatement, and helped get him back in.....

Concerning the "dangerous drugs" used in this sport.....their just as dangerous as when YOU were using them...hypocrite.

How pathetic, Bob. In 1970 the IFBB didn't have any rules about anabolic steroids and other drugs. I used 2 Dianabol pills for about 3 months. Compare that with your drug protocol. You can't post what you took, can you? You are more than a hypocrite. You are just outright nasty and bitter.

Rusty Jeffers looked way better than you did in that contest for bodybuilding seniors. End of story. Your opinion as winner counts for zero. Hope you realize this.

We all followed your asskissing re the Lee Priest affair. You did nothing whatever for him. You had a vote re his situation so why not reveal what you voted for? That would be enlightening. Nope, you did nothing but yap on Getbig about how much you are doing. For Christ sake stop the bullshit. The IFBB doesn't let any of the pros speak out. You know it. You are the biggest fake ever to post on Getbig. You claim to be the good guy but have sided with the IFBB without exception. Oh, you come up with crumbs to help the athletes but the big stuff you sweep under the too-hard carpet.
