First Palumboism and now Arvillaism.

Arvillaism remains despite measures to kill the messenger. Praise and blame fall away from me like rain from an umbrella.

Vince, what amazes me is that you still think your relevant. God, we do wish you could contribute knowledge to GB, but you have always fallin short.

[Vince B]

Who contributes anything of value on Getbig? What a load of crap. The Flotsam wouldn't know a beneficial theory if it hit them in the head.

Arvillaism is widespread. Witness the legions of female bodybuilders suffering from it.

you obviously havent read any of the posts from jewitt?

[Vince B]

What a load of bloviation.

I think it is pompous to suggest someone is just that. A PhD reduced to Flotsam by association. Congratulations.

Give us your honest, unvarnished, evaluation of this GetBigger's physique.

Pellius, suffers from chronic Arvillaism so throws a few stones my way. Another internet legend and expert aka M Twain on Ironage. He joins the ranks of Goodrum and co.

I'm not a bodybuilder not have I ever claimed to be a bodybuilder nor do I have any ambition whatsoever to pose and flex my muscles on stage. I do resistance training as part of an over all conditioning program to compete in a sport.

But I have to hand it to you, as the most despised member on both GetBig and Ironage you still manage to chug along. I don't know if it's because you are delusional or senile. Here is an  a PM I received from a very respected member on IronAge, a far more tolerant and civil board than the wild, wild West that is GetBig:

Thanks for your input in the "overtraining/volume" thread.  You are, of course, correct:  Vince is a blowhard. 

I know arguing with him's a futile endeavor, but I can't stand someone arrogantly strutting around the Net, spouting off vaguerisms and silly tautologies that illustrate just how "clueless" everyone else is.  It's hard to not call him on his b.s.

Take care,

BTW, when was the last time you saw your abs? Or, at least your feet?

You rag on Goodrum but you have some chutzpah even commenting of anything to do with bodybuilding and physical conditioning looking like the mess that you do.

Go back to taking pics of muscle men and wishing you had my abs.

Playing the kiddie porn label is despicable even for assholes on muscle boards.

Acknowledged. I retract that statement.

You should have been there, JNN! The school was just starting out and he was the one who gave out the free introductory lessons. When he was showing me how to do a hip throw his stache was no less than 3 inches from my very eyes. Three inches! There it was in all it's glory and majesty. I grew dizzy and light headed and for a minute saw a bright white light. (no homo)

It's one thing to see it in pictures but in person.... it was then that I knew how Moses felt when he got to the top of Mt. Sinai.

I was never the same person again.

I like to stir the pot now and then. I thought about this syndrome before posting so expected the usual shit hurled in my direction. Getbiggers seldom have the resiliance to laugh at themselves but that is what most need to maintain a sense of humour about lifting weights and posing in mirrors.

My motto is never waste mirrors!

I respect anyone who tries to improve his health, fitness and strength. Bodybuilding is a great hobby but when it comes to competition it really is sad what many go through to get titles and trophies. Modern judges have lost the ability to assess physiques using valid criterion so most default to using 'conditioning' to separate the competitors. The result is Arvillaism in most competitors who look small and insignifcant instead of huge musclemen that you see in the gym.

now, i'm no homo but my penis hanged at half staff the day he shaved it

I do not want to encourage these sorts of tasteless and over the line innuendos. Even GetBig should have some, at least cursory, standards of decency.

But shit, that was funny!

LOL! (But rumor had it that Tom Selleck was relieved and rested easier)

Palumbo became the epitome of a physique destroyed by chemicals. Everyone knows the syndrome. Lately I have noticed another syndrome appearing that represents what happens to lots of big dudes who try to get ripped to compete. Mike Arvilla once posted that I was a gimmick account so I do owe him. Sometimes retribution takes time but is always fitting.

Arvilla is a big guy off season. 19 inch arms are not that common so he has paid his dues. However, when preparing for competition he finds he loses heaps of size and is still not that defined. He transcends into a mere novice physique instead of the big guy one expects from the before photos. He ended up with chicken legs as well. The same phenomenon happened to hapless Melvin Goodrum who used to be a big guy. He finally shed some adipose tissue but ended up looking like he took up weight lifting just months ago.

Another popular fellow that experienced Arvillaism was our own True Adonis. To get the ripped look he ended up looking like a male model who lifts weights to keep fit.

The list goes on. AVBG, Billy Guns, etc. All become mere street urchins and not he-men after the ripping process.

The truth is most bodybuilders carry a lot of bulk and when they shed some to get ripped they end up looking lean and not so big or pleasing. This is a good lesson and maybe most Getbiggers should refrain from competing because they transcend into something less as a result.

I don't get it. So what is Arvillaism?

Is it the process of losing size while dieting for a contest? Because that has always been the case, unlike Palumboism, which is a recent phenomenon.

BTW, how do you think you'd fare standing next to Mike, with both of you in your prime shape? Not asking that to flame you. After all, you both juiced.

Most if not all natural trainers of average height end up leaning out well under 200 lbs. People fail to understand the shear weight loss involved in getting cut to ribbons. Even a relatively lean, toned looking person usually has to drop a minimum of 10 pounds to get ready for a show. Btw Vince, TA holds good size for the type of condition he's displayed.

Vince Basile has got to be the oldest true Getbigger.  Much props, Vince.
