Vince Goodrum - how did the show go?

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

It isn't as if Vince G CSN MFT is a beginner. He might still enter the novice division but the dude has been around for years now.

First of all, anyone of Goodrum's level would be nuts to post info about his contests on Getbig. Hasn't he learned anything at all here? Nope, this isn't the place to boast of Munzer-like conditioning and show up against Billy Guns looking like he never went to a gym in his life. His diplomas in sports nutrition and training mean bugger all. The dude is without any idea about how to build muscle and then get ready to appear on stage. His posing is the epitome of a novice. All that puffing and making faces as if his life depended on the outcome. There was hapless little Melvin Goodrum moved to the end of the lineup so the judges could compare the others for placings. Truth be told he gave 100% but it wasn't enough.

After the contest we learned from Melvin that he had a cold. So that prevented him from breathing properly on stage. Of course he was put off his posing because the judges told him not to flare his lats in the standing relaxed. Ah, the excuses explain everything. I shake my head at this drivel. The plain, unvarnished truth is that Melvin came in leaner than previously but was still looking smooth on stage and he was noticeably smaller in the muscle department. The end result? Last place in his group and no trophy.

What do inexperienced novices do after a contest? They approach some of the judges to find out what happened and how they can improve. That is the hallmark of beginners and usually a waste of time. Why? Well the judges don't want to make contestants feel worse than they already do so they give them platitudes. You know, get more defined next time. You need bigger thighs and shoulders, etc., etc. It would have been more informative to see the judges results and that should be sufficient. If they all placed you last there is no need to ask how to improve.

Melvin posted several times that he was enterring and gave us a couple of updates along the way. He doesn't have much income so trains at home to save money. This explains just about everything. How is he going to grow using Pilates machines. This is surely being clueless in Sylva! When a dude has a lifestyle like Goodrum and processes information like he does then no one can help him. We are going to see more of the same in the future. A variation on mediocrity personified. Oh, I don't want to hurt his feelings or stop him from training but this self-styled internet legend is truly a nincompoop and buffoon of extraordinary quality. When delusional blokes continue to dream re winning titles they never achieve their goals and continue to blame conditions and other things for their lack of success. The guy is entertaining but he doesn't see himself as being amusing and therein lies the irony of it all.

Melvin, you have a thick hide under all that soft exterior. Normal mortals would have been too ashamed to step on stage in posing briefs while still being about 20% bodyfat. It was average in the good old days but as you and Arvilla have found out there is no way to keep your 19 inch arms and get in contest condition.

What exactly is your superior work ethic that will catapult you over the opposition? Seems to me you came dead last out of 6 or 7 blokes in a novice division some 3 or 4 years down the line since you started competing. We enjoy your journey here at Getbig but you are one seriously delusional fool who has no shame whatever. We can predict 100% that you will reinvent yourself and tell everyone how great you look then show up looking the same old little Melvin Goodrum. Dudes like you should stay bulky because at least you have some size that impresses those who don't train. All your experience and knowledge delivers hardly anything at all. You win a prize for persistence but nothing else.

[Spike]

All this attention for little old me?? 


I think that some of you are upset that you would never have the balls to step onstage or perhaps you realize that I'm not that bad of a bodybuilder.

While its true that genetics is a factor in successful competition, its still just an excuse not to compete.  I hear so much whining about how I don't have the genetics to do blah, blah, blah....and more blah blah blah.

Feel free to use that for yourself but quite frankly, genetics don't mean shit to me because I know that if I keep training harder than other competitors then I will surpass them.

Genetics is no match for work ethic and if I keep putting the work in, it will pay off for me.

While I did not win, I did not make a fool of myself.  The only fools is the folks up here who's egos are based on internet post counts and try to give advice to people when they have never competed in their lifes.

Some of you may disagree but its my decision and your opinions don't mean shit to me.   


Till next show......

I showed up in the best condition ever.  My trainer did an excellent job in putting together my meal and diet plan and the hard work paid off.  Needless to say, it was a very difficult show and I did not make the top 5 as I had to go up against some hardcore veterans of the sport because it was a pro qualifier but I still held my own.

Overall, very good show and I spoke with the judges and will make the neccesary improvements to compete on that level.


 

Pretty tough lineup! 

Congrats!

You are a foolish old man, Basile.  

The fact is that there were 8 people in my class and that's problably more competitors than at your entire Mr Canada show because everyone including myself would have whipped your ass onstage.  And this was a DRUG-FREE NATURAL SHOW.  

When the REAL PICTURES, you'll see just how I actually looked that day instead of zooming in on an already blurry and unfocused picture.

The fact is your 1970 Mr Canada title is a sham not only because you can't name anyone at the show and there's record whatsoever but also because you really didn't look that great onstage anyway to deserve it despite the fact you were popping dianabol like tic-tacs to achieve that unimpressive physique.  

Yet you still criticize the IFBB for the use of anabolic steroids?  That's not only delusional but also a hypocrite.



I'm sorry Basile but all the years you had to be a great bodybuilder has long passed and you wasted the majority of your life making excuses and blaming the IFBB, Joe and Ben Weider, Chick, and others for your failure when in fact you only have your inherit laziness as your liability

The only thing you have to look forward to now is a pine box and a marble slate.  You made your choices in life so live with it and enjoy what life you have left instead of trashing and blaming others

[Vince B]

Hey, Melvin, were you last in your class or not? Just wondering.

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Hey, Melvin, were you last in your class or not? Just wondering.

They only call out the top 5 in an NGA show.  There was no placings given to the me and 2 others although one person left after pre-judging because he was pissed off and was DQ'ed anyway.

Understand that this was a Pro Qualifier so I the competiton was pretty ugly and highly competitive.  I didn't expect to win or really place my first time out especially since this was not only my first NGA show but also the very first time I was in an Open Division and I have to say that I faired pretty well

[El Diablo Blanco]

Vince.  Awesome job!  99% of getbiggers wouldn't have to balls to get on stage, even running ten Test cycles back to back.

[dov]

Some people think I need to work on my posing but they didn't see my night routine. 

LOL, "night routine"

how the fuck were you in a ''pro qualifier'' when you have never won any contest not even a novice class? you have gotten last place in every contest you entered, you only have a trophy because you were last out of 2 competitors! stop slagging off Basile, in his prime he looked like a real bodybuilder an won a national title, you are full of shit not to mention looking like shit!
Ill give you credit that you have balls to enter contests but you are unrealistic and delusional, you go on the internet shouting off all garbage about munzer like conditioning and a load of other crap and then turn up at some redneck contest looking as shit as always, that is why you get a flogging on getbig and you deserve it, you are making bodybuilding contests more of a joke than they already are
Are you going to claim some hollow victory because one guy in your class got DQ'd so you were not last place, im sorry Vince but you were last in a class of pretty shitty competitors and you say this was a pro qualifier!! when the real shots come out i dont think you will be looking amazingly better, same old shit again!
Im sure you will be back entering another contest soon, most likely you will try to find a contest with only 1 or 2 other guys in your class so you are sure to get a trophy even though you are last then come on getbig and brag,  ::)im sure your goal is to find a contest wit no one in your class so you get 1st place by default, pretty pathetic

[Vince B]

There is a HQ video of the posing on Youtube. Goodrum looks better in it but then so do the other guys.

Back off guy.

[D_1000]

Hey, Melvin, were you last in your class or not? Just wondering.

Yes, he was.

[Jerryme7]

Conditioning was a factor but the judges told me that I was a little too soft in the front and another one told me I looked a little worn down.  Nothing was mentioned about my legs but I know that they were way down from where they were before.  

As far as a middleweight is concerned, I'm 5'11 so it wouldn't be a good idea

Vince, I have to interject here.

Youre lying about your height just like you lie about other things.

Youre not 5'11".

Im only 5'10" and a half and Im taller than you. So you are not 5'11"

Dont lie to the people on here

Just like people who actually trained, dieted and actually worked out for a contest, we know a liar when we see one.

You didnt train your ass off for this contest or diet right.

Start being honest for once and life will be better

[Jerryme7]

Oh yeah, I forgot the pic.

5'11" my ass! LOL

Im 5'10" and a half so whats your real height?

BOOM

Queen Vissy can eat a fat one

[Vince B]

Lots of people exaggerate their height. So that is not a big sin. Melvin looked better this time around but he is right about getting all this attention. Pros do not get thread after thread about them in a local contest.

[Vince B]

Melvin almost died for the flotsam here!

Gotta love Melvin's cheesy "Big Man" intense facial expressions he hits during his "poses"

[JOCKTHEGLIDE]

Oh yeah, I forgot the pic.

NGA please

[Van_Bilderass]

Yes it was a drug tested show.  Minimum 7 years drug free with a polygraph and urine test taken. 


I used ALR's Chained Out, WTF Pumped, and Jungle Warfare.  I also used Genesis Liver and Amino Acid Tablets along with my meals.  I was taking Hyperdrive but I switched to Drenalin Hardcore and NOW's 7 Keto DHEA along with a subligual B-12 complex.

I used 1500mg of Dandelion Root a day and drunk some strong black coffee to cut the water retention.

There was no drug test. You used an anabolic steroid. Jungle Warfare contains an anabolic steroid.

[Vince B]

Watching Melvin pose it was clear he was nervous as a beginner. He saw how good his competition was and shit himself. What beginners do is get tense and worried and they lose composure and make faces putting in too much effort. Someone needs to help Melvin with his posing.

For example, he is the only guy who extends his hands in the triceps pose. What he does is bring attention to his exceeding long arms and not his triceps. Between poses he extends his fingers as a release of tension. Instead of hitting the next comparison he uses the transitions he has in his routine. What this does is make him look like a beginner who doesn't know what he is doing.

[Van_Bilderass]

No use criticizing his posing and offering tips. You can't teach posing!

[Tapeworm]

Nice title Basile.
