Hey Bob. When you let guys rub oil on you, and you flex your muscles for them, is that considered "athletic"?

I've never been there...but you keep referring to "wearing a thong and posing for a bunch of gay men"....so I'm sure you're better versed to answer your own question.

That's not nice, Bob.

Climbing Half Dome is hard? There's a line to go up that bitch every summer day.

It is when you go with a bunch of Ironman triathletes who set a grueling pace. Plus, the cables were down when we were there, so the final climb was relatively tough. Not the hardest thing I've ever done, but way harder than getting ready for a bbing show...

Lot tougher than that local show you were taking "juice to the gills for" huh?

lol! Bob doesn't make $500k year. Ask him how much he makes. You'll laugh your ass off. And I agree, being at the top of your industry isn't the end all be all. But it was Bob who said he was at "the top of his game". I merely pointed the inaccuracy in that statement.

As for Jobs vs. Gates. Both are in the top 1% of income earners in their fields and both have been recognized by their industry as pioneers. So both are at the top of their game.

I thought I read that Bob was making upwards of 500 or so. No matter what he makes, if he's getting paid well to do something that he loves he's living the dream. Don't tell me consulting is what you love. You're very good at it. You do it for the money. Just like me. If could make 250k-500k a year playing sports I'd be the happiest fuck on earth. I do that in my spare time for fun.

Would you agree that Bob is in the top 1% of income for his industry? Surely he makes more then most of the pro's out there today. It's all relative dude.

I am sure there is a lot of money in bodybuilding... but interms of respect, a monkey is held in higher reguard. To succeed in a drug supported (illegally), hypersexual (usually homosexual), and prostituted event (notice I did not call it a sport), is nothing to be proud of. To change bodybuilding, you have to change the way it is perceived, maybe the old guard, such as yourself, needs to leave for this modern day homoerotic circus to change into something that resembles a sport. Just my two cents...

Actually it absolutely is what I love. I quit a great paying and secure job to do this. When I wake up in the morning, I can't wait to get to my desk. My assistant brings me a fresh pot of coffee and boom, the day starts.

The projects I work on are diverse & challenging. The clients I have are incredibly smart. And, I work only with products that I personally love. I get paid to do something I'd be doing for free. It doesn't get any better.

you cannot change the perception of bodybuilding because it is what it's always been, a male beauty pageant. calling it or considering it anything other than that would be going against history and common sense.

at the end of the day, comparing two men and awarding points per bodypart is gay and not a sport. it's subjective in scoring and takes no skill. ANYONE can call themselves a bodybuilder.

Bob did look pretty ridiculous in that Bromance movie he was in. The main guy was supposed to be acting like an idiot caveman, and then Bob came along and was the real thing.

The cables being down makes it relatively hard, but it's not the most grueling thing by any stretch of the imagination. Get above 20,000 feet and then you'll know what hard is.

I really don't get why you are so soured on BBing, or being a big dude in general Mindspin. I take pride in what i have accomplished.

I not as developed as you were at your best, but I'm no slouch...and i don't feel that people are as negative towards my body as you do. Just the opposite, My perception is most people are impressed in a good way.

And no....i don't hang around the gym 24/7 fishing for compliments

To steal a line from Chick

"Don't sell yourself short, your a terrific slouch!

So you're saying that you'd do what you do now for free? Essentially chick gets paid for what most of us do in our spare time for pleasure. All I'm saying is that your being a bit harsh on him because of your views of bodybuilding. I can totally understand the way you feel, btw. The industry and the "sport" is a fucking joke.

It may seem harsh, but it is true. BTW, I've just been told that I hurt Chicks feelings and that I should lay off. It's just the Internet folks

Building a body that has significant muscle will keep you out of most fights because 99% of the world is intimidated by such things...

Now when it comes to fighting, having some skills in fighting will put you at an advantage in real world fighting, however if you are like most of the wannabe sheep world(that watches UFC fights) and because they roll around on the mats at their local jiu jitsu gym...Here's the truth...If you have never taken a punch and tasted you own bleed in a real fight and didn't freak out by it, rolling on the mat with skinny little boys ain't gonna make you a tuff guy or make you any better off in the real world...In fact it will probably give you an illusion that you are badder then you really are...Unless you are a skilled fighter that can take a punch...Then nothing else really matters...Its a wash...

I don't agree with a few of your points, but we'll agree to disagree. I think its pretty lame that you've been censored. However, you fell into the "flame" style type of posting for awhile there, so thats why they've decided to try and stop you from posting in this thread.

No one has censored this fool...he's free to say whatever he wants....and has

Now he's put himself in a position that he needs to qualify what he said, and he has yet to do so

Good post. And yes. Bob has gone further in bbing than I did. But, to me, competitive bodybuilding is a joke and it's a laughable accomplishment. If coming in last place at the Mr. Olympia is his greatest achievement, then I don't know what to say.

Do you think Bob could move up the Olympia latter if he took the plunge and started to dabble in Plazmosis?

Never said I was a tough guy. But, I want to make this bet. We'll give Ron the money to hold and hire an independent accountant to review our income for the last three years. If you made more than me, it's an easy $5k. Let's go.

FYI, both Big Bobs and I are accountants and willingly offer our services for free to analyze your's and Chic's income, ofcourse we are boud by professional ethics to keep your information confidential so we will only issue a statement on who makes more and nothing else.
